[Correspondence of the Missouri Dernocrat.l
The dispatch sent by Major Hagonyi to
Gen. Fremont, giving some briet details Of
the affair at Springfield, and which | sent
you this morning, omitted the very impor-
tant fact that when be retired from Spring
field he left forty of the Body Guard there
to guard his wounded and retain possession
of the town. There is no doubt that the
place is III full possession Of our forces TO-
night, or if it is not, that it will be by
morning.
IIolman's sharp shooters left here in
wagons early this morning for the place
aad Cars Second Illinois cavalry regi-
RAent must be In close proximity, if not in
actual possession of the town by this time.
Our regiment Of SlgePs division will also
nsve forward by forced march thither at
midnight. Major Zagonyi's force, which
encamped five miles sooth Of BOliver last
night, have likewise started again for the
scene of their most brilliant exploit.
Such further particulars as we get in
relation to Major Zagonyi's affair at
Springfield, stamps it as even a more bril-
lant,as it was q more decisive, fight than
was at first supposed. The loss Of the
Major will probably be narrowed down to
about six killed and twelve or fifteen
wounded. All of the wounded were left
in good hands OF Springfield, and will be
tenderly cared for. The charge of the
Body Guard upon the rebels as they were
drawn up in line to receive them is dis>
cribed as most terrific. They literally
moved down everything which came in
their path. Every individual member of
the Guard performed prodigies of valor, the
Major particularly distinguishing himself.
One of the sergcnts of one of the companies
had no less than three horses killed under
him, and came out unscathed at last. The
body servant of the Major was killed. but
not before 10 himself had laid three rebels
low.
A rebel soldier IN close proximity to the
Major, with his pistol presented to his
breast, had his arm completely severed
from hi' body by scientific blow from the
Majors sabre, which was subsequently
passed through his body.
/ have been unable to obtain list OF the
killed and wounded, but shall forward il
to you Tomorrow, from Springfield. tits
stated that Lieut.. Kenndy, of Capt. Foley's
Ithirdl company, is among the wounded.
Nothing has at yet been heard from
Major White. Major Zagonyi says he had
been sick, and is inclined TO the beliefthat
he has been taken prisoners but there is a
rumor that he went into Springfield sub
sequent to Zagonyfs departure, and in
skirmish with the enemy lost FIVE or six
men.

sS>It was the plan of Mr.. Douglas that

The way TO Pat Down the RE-
beltfONN

The press Of the North. with very few
exceptions. advocate war--grim, bloody.
devastating war-as the only mode by
which the rebellion in the South can be put
down. Indeed almost the entire North is
in favor of the war policy as the one to be
carried out at all hazards. Hence the cry
is vehemently raised in favor of conquer
ing the rebels and bringing them to an un-
conditional Acknowledgements Of their allie
glance. In palmer terms, the complete
snbjugation of the South must be accom-
plished by visitations of fire and sword
and vigorous coercive measures, before any
terms of peace or cessation of hostilities
can be entertained.
Consequently the popular and prevailing
sentiment at the North is that war is the
only alternative in this terrible emergency,
and that AL the power, wealth and ener,
gies of the Government must be directed to
its vigorous and successful prosecution.
The plan is to conquer and overrun the
South and to bring the rebels to a humble
submission or to exterminate them from
the face of the.earth.
Now, as is well known, we have had lit
tie faith in this war policy from the com
mencement. Like the lamented Douglas,
we have regarded the prosecution of war
between the North and the South as the
direst calamity that could fall upon the
cause Of human rights and free governs
ment The more lives that are sacrificed
and the more blood that is spilled the more
yawning and terrible becomes the dark
chasm that already exists between the two
sections.
But, because we are in favor of Ma.
tional Convention and the amendment Of
the constitution SO as to restore the Union
upon its original basis, and opposed to the
policy of blood and death and destruction,
let it not be understood that we are in ia
vor Of secession and separation. We nev.
er tolerated for a moment, the idea of q
divided country. Our aspirations efforts
and prayers have always been in favor OF
the old Union, with all its members united
in the voluntary bonds of common brother
hood. 1t is because we are honestly and
earnestly opposed to secession, and sin
cerely desire restoration of the Union,
that We deprecate ths policy of attempting
to force an unconditional submission on the
part of the South. The Union was found
ed in peace, amity and compromise, and,
according to our views of the facts, can
only be perpetrated by the maintenance Of
those relations.
We are heart and soul in favor of put,
ting down the rebellion, but to remove the
pretext that the South have for her course
in this matter, let that portion of our once
powerful and happy confederacy be guar
anteed her full measure of constitutional
| rights. Let spirit of concession, com
promise and justice prevailed the Abolis
ton bigOts at the North cease their cries in
favor Of the prosecution of this war for
the emancipation of the slaves and be
hurled from their places of power-and the
work or putting uuwn the reueIIIon, Will DE
easily accomplished. Such policy as this
would be far more successful in restoring
the seeded States to their allegiance than
a million of men.

NEGRO EoUALITY.-Ifit be true that
Secretary Seward has granted passpor.
to the negro Garnet, as has been stated, the
doctrine of negro citizenship and negro
equality is established In this country. 1t
is said that Garnes's passport recognizes
him as citizen of the United States, and
requests all whom it may concern to treat
him as such. This would nullify the deci-
sion OF the Supreme Court of the United
States in the Drea Scott case. as we'll as the

We must not De surprised if Seward snsald
