ST.. LOUIS, AUGUST ia messenger from
Gen. Siegel, who arrived early this morning,
reports that officer Is miles this side of Leb-
anon, expecting to reach Roa to day. lie
had not been molested en- route. Gen. Lyon
was buried on Col. Phelps's farm, near Spring
field. 1t is reported that the rebels had en-
tered Sring6e!d and were encamped in and a.
round there. 1t is also stated that the whole
number killed, wounded and missing on the
Federal side do not exceed 400, and that Ben.
McCulloch and number OF Rebel ofhcers
were killed. Mr.. Ingraham, Union clerk in
a secession store in Springfield, arrived here
this morning. He reports that four regiments
of rebel cavalry, under Gen. Rains, entered
Springfield Sunday noon, and hoisted Sc
cession flag on the Court House amid the noisy
demonstrations of the troops and few resi-
dent sympatsers. Our wounded soldiers in
the hospital had not been molested. 1t was
announced that only the Home Guards would
be the subjects of resentment. The rebels
purchased everything in the stores, paying
any price demanded in Confederate scrip.
They were particularly anxious to get shoes,
some OF their regiments being entirely bare
footed. Capt. Jones, one of Gen. Siegel's
skirmishers, who was wounded in the battle,
reports that Gen. Siegel'S attack on the rear
of the rebel camp was complete surprise to
them that they were driven back toward Gen.
Lyons command in front with great slaught-
er, their dead lying in heaps on the field, and
that for the first half hour Gen. Segel did net
lose man. Subsequently our troops were
subjected to murderous cross fire from a
number of the enemy's cannon, throwing a
perfect shower of grape and shells into our
ranks. After driving the rebels back about
mile and half, Gen. Sege drew off his forces
and fell back on Springfield. Wagons con-
tanning the families of Union men continue to
arrive. More than one-half of the population
of Springfield have left, and the farmers along
the route to this place abandoning their
homes. 1t is reported that Gen. Siegel's COM
mand is about fifteen miles from here. His
arrival may be expected to-day or tomorrow.

THE WEST BRANCH GREYs.

It is with much regret we learn, that af
ter the most strenuous exertions, the project
of raising this company had to be abandoned.
During the past week it was taken in hand by
three or four of our citizens, who made an ar
rangemcnt with an officer named Charles Volk
to furnish so men from st. Mary's. Relying
upon this arrangement they Immediately went
to work to raise the necessary number ofmen
in doing which, they inform us, they met
with all sorts of obstacles and opposition.
They found most of the young men in the
county formed into small companies, just
large enough to keep them from going-and
it seems that no offer or arrangement could
induce the officers to come to such terms as
would effect union and send one full COM
pany. AS an example of the means used to
prevent the raising of company, read the
following affidavit:
Cleorfetd County, ss: Personally came be-
fore me, an Associate Judge of the Court Of
Common Pleas of said County, William George
and Robert Derrick, who being duly sworn ac-
cording to law, do depose and say that Will
liam +. Johnston, of Penn township in said
County, on Monday the 18th Of August 1861,
offered them severally five dollars if they
would not go to the rendezvous, after they
had enlisted in the service of their country.
WILLIAM GEORGE
RoBERT B. DERRICK.
Sworn and Subscribed, this 2Cth August, 1861 /,
before me, WIN. l.. MOORE, Asso. Judge.
Notwithstanding such efforts,th the persons en-
gagged in this enterprise succeeded in raising a
sufficient number of men TO fill the company,
with the fifty men from st. Marys, all of whom
were ordered to rendezvous at this place on
last Monday. Accordingly, between 20 and
30 noble young men were here, ready to start !;
but instead of Capt. Voik and his men came a
letter, apologizing for his inability to raise a
company. The reason Of his failure is, per-
haps, best known to himself, and certain indi-
viduals not thousand miles away, who have
from the first continued to throw cold water
those interested were compelled to abandon
the project.
The following young men were here, ready
and anxious to go; others were coming but
were stopped on their way: l.. r. Merrell, c..
Fl. Powers, Alfred Shirk, Ellis Hoover, VIM.
U'Harra, ALVIN Ross, VIM. L. Keatin, VIM.
NJ. Adams, G. W. Shirey, Robert Derrick,
Matthias Stugart, Henry Stugart, VIM. George,
Joseph Raiguel, and Jacob Birge. A number
of these brave young men, determined not to
return home, were sent to Harrisburg this
| morning to enlist in other companies.

Hon. HORACE MAyNARp.--This gentleman
has reached Washington, having been returned
to Congress from one of the East Tennessee
districts, having been more fortunate than T.
A. R. Nelson, who was arrested and imprison-
ed at Richmond. Mr.. Maynard represents
East Tennessee as strong for the Union, and
every man striving to stay the tide of Seces-
sion which now threatens that part of our
country. The people are all ready to take up
arms, and ask Government for a supply, with
few leading spirits to direct their energies
IN organizing strong military force.

ernment. we call the attention OF our read
ers to the following note, which speaks for
itself:
CLEARFIELD, August Goth, 1861.
S. J. Row Eso.-DEAR SIR In reply to
your inquiry of this date in relation to what
occurred at the Celebration in Bradford town
ship on Friday last, have to say, that was
invited to address "Patriotic SABBATH School
Harvest Home," and accordingly attended at
the place appointed for the purpose. l found
a large and respectable audience, and after the
organization of the meeting by the election
of the usual officers, proceeded with my
speech; in the course of which l alluded to
our National troubles, and expressed the fol-
lowing sentiment "The man who would refuse
to respond to his country's call in the hour of
danger, and be unwilling to maintain his Gov
ernment and defend the honor of his flag,
is traitor and coward-a disgrace to the
soil that gave him birth and unworthy the
countenance of honorable men," No sooner
had 1 uttered this than Vincent Holt, who
was acting as one of the Vice Presidents of
the meeting, left the stand, which was the sig
nal for three or four fellows named Lounsbery,
to attempt to interrupt the meeting. l pro-
ceeded, however, with what had to saw but
| after l had concluded, they refused to permit
any more speaking to be done, (they were, L
believe, the owners of the ground on which
the meeting was held) and threatened to whip
the Rev. Mr.. Rankin and Rev. Mr.. Nuner,
the Luthern Minister, an aged and venerable
man, if they again went on the stand. They
loudly denounced the Government and the
war for the Union, in most profane and out
| rageous terms, expressing themselves as op-
| posed to the Government and in sympathy
with the rebellion. After partaking of an ex-
cellent dinner, l left the ground. Trusting
| the above information will answer your pur-
| pose, remain
Yours truly, II. B. SwoopE.
We were 10th to believe that there were
persons in our county, so lost to honor and
every sense of patriotism, as thus to identify
| themselves with those who are in open rebel
lion against our National Government. They
| certainly deserve to be held up to the scorn
and contempt of all honor able citizens. There
| are very few localities, we presume, where
such conduct would not be visited with imme-
diate and condign punishment. If this is the
fruit Of the teachings of such papers as the
Day-Book and CIearfeld Republican, in the
name of Heaven what are we coming to2

be that she (the North) pay, to the ut termost

is that she pay for the destruction of all prop

that, as an evidence of her sincerity, she i'm
