zene, dated Camp POGO, July l6 we clip the follow
ing:
The greatest misfortune of the dav, however, was
tho loss Of Col Woodruff, Col. De Villiers Lieut.
Col. Neh and CAPTAINS Austin and Hoard. The I'd
Kentucky regiment especially, is disconsoIate at
the loss of their gallant leader. These officers, as
L advised you BY telegraph, passed our pckets 10
get view OF the fight, and have, doubtless, all
been captur ed. They have been out twenty-four
hours.
FRnAV MORNING. July l9.-We have Just learned
! that Coils. Woodruff, De Villiers. and the other
missing officers are all in the rebel CAMP where
they are comfortably cared for.

FROM MISSOURI.
We clip the following from the ST. Louis Rcpu5ii-
of July 22d
BY late intelligence from the Southwest border,
the news Of Jackson's army having crossed in 70
kansas ia confirmed. He is now, with McCul-
loeb, Price, Parsons and Rains, at Fort Walker. or
Maysville, il is put down on the maps. This is
four five miles from the Missouri line The
object of this move is said to be tn organize the
troops better, and give them some instruction in
tactics.
After the battle near Carthage Gems. Parsons
and Rains with Gov. jackson and staff, eucamped
about four miles from Carthage, where they were
shortly joined by Price and McCunch. On the
llth instant, they were at Neosbo, with an army of
eighteen thousand men, of whom those under
McCulloch and Price were well armed The troops
remained in tie neighborhood until they had ex-
hauSted all the subsistence to be had, when they
moved across Mcdonald county into Arkansas, as
above stated
The same account further states that jackson and
McJulloch are being rapidly reinforced from Ar
kansas.

Gen. Harris left Mexico on Tuesday morning with
about $50 men, mounted on horseback, and passing
through Fulton, eucamped on the Jefferson road
about O'Clock that night and within fur miles of
McNeips lines.
Early Wednesday morning McNeil's COM
mard, learning from their scouts of Gen. Harris
proximity to him, took up the line of march to at
tack his camp But Gen. Harris seemed wide
awake, and instead of remaining in camp, pro-
jec!ed ambuscade. He detailed Gen. s B. Hat

while he with about four hundred men marched
two miles nearer Fulton to thick underwood on

and went on foot to the selected ambuscede, where
stationed within few PAGES OF the road, (s0me say
fifteen, others seventy) they awaited the passage of
the Federal troops
1t was understood that Gen. Hatton's scouts
were to keep in sight of the Federals, and from
elevation north of the ambush give the signal of
attack by firing pistol This Gen. Ilatton did,
whereupon the State troops fired upon them from
their Ambush and fetreated to their horses, each
man taking care of himself Several of them
