WAR ITEMS,

A Baltimore Brig Seized aud Given Up by
Erivaseers
We learn from the Exchange Reading Room
books that Captain knight, of the brig R. r. Kirk
land, consigned to G. NJ. Jackson & Co.. and ar
rived to-day from Caicas Island, reports was
boarded to the southwark of the Gulf stream by
two privateer schooners, and thirty lilies south of
Hatteras by privateer steamer, but was released
because belonging to and bound to Baltimo ore, al
though ii her cargo had belonged in Northern
port she would have been liable to capture. The
privateers reported having captured bark be-
longing to New Bedford, Capt. Holmes, from Phil
adelpha, with coal; also schooner, Capt Ellis
Capt. Knight does not recoect the names of either
of the vessels captured. Captain X. was we'll
treated by the privateorsmap, who supplied him
with provisions.
Wrecked Vessels.
The proper lights not being maintained on the
North Carolina coast by the United States Govern
ment-who, it appears, have not sufficient naval
force there to guard tham-vesses are frequently
wrecked on Cape Hatteras.
The books of the Exchange Reading Rooms fur
nish the following list:
Steamer Georgeanna, Captain Pearson, from Old
Point, Va, to NJ. n Falls, brought up officers and
crew OF bark Linwo"d; brigs Lydia Frances, B. T.
captured and wrecked on the coast of North Caro-
lima, whose crews had been released by the Confed
crates.

more), Penny, from Rio Janeiro for New York
with a cargo of six thousand five hundred BAGS of
coffee, totally wrecked on Hatteras July 10th;
about two hundred bags of coffee saved Brig

st. Jago de Cuba for New York. with three hun
dred and ninety-eight hogsheads and one hundred
and ninetysix barrels Of sugar, and fifteen tons of
mahogany, went ashore on Hatteras, Nav 9th, and
became total loss; about thirty bogsheads of the
cargo saved. The officers aud crews of both ves-
sells were saved.
BATTLE IN MISSOURI
We publish to-day telegraphic account of a
victory obtained by General Lyon over General
McCulloch. No dates are attached to the report,
and the fact of its being telegraphic at once makes
its truth suspected. Below is an account from the
Loui, vile Courier-it audes most undoubtedly to
the same affair
The Reported Bnttje Mt Springfield. Missouri
"A DiscIoss,re--The Facts Suppressed.
We call the attention of our readers to the sub
joined extract from the St. Louis Democrat, of
Friday, the I'd inst. 1t will be seen that the battle
is merely Incidentally alluded to in the article
from that paper, no details dates giyen-a mere
passing notice. The Democrat is the especial organ
and Blair mouth piece of the Lincoln Government,
and all the dispatches sent over the wires come
through that office, from the arsenal A gentleman
who arrived in this city Friday morning, from ST.
Louis, says that city was in state of considerable
excitement the day previous, on the reception of
storlinJ intelligence 'okich kept from the public.
We now have no doubt that a sangunary battle
has been fought at Spring field, and the Federals
were routed. Look at the forced march of Colonel
Soomon's regiment-"l23 miles in three days"
That was Al miles per day, and to make that time
they must have run all the way:
lFronl the 50. Louis Democrat
Yesterday evening Colonel Solomon's regiment
and part of Colonel Seigers command arrived from
the camp of General Lyon at Springfield. They
left that place Monday last, aud performed the
march to Rolla, l23 miles, in three days. To-mor-
row the remainder of Colonel SegePs regiment
| will probably arrive, also two Iowa regiments
under Colonel Bates. They will be disbanded
there, their three months being up, but nearly all
| of the two former will re-enist for the war and
| reorgauze. They report all quiet at Springfield
when they left, and no apprehensons of an attack
| by Jackson.
The report of the killed on the rebel side has been
greatly undersated BY false representations. Tht
people an the "eghborhood affirm that there ,oere a
| least thousand killed aud aoounded Severa
| trophies of the battle were brought up by ths
| troops-several secession flags, and rebel cap
ta'n's uniorm-and several bars of iron fired from
| Jackson's cannon. They fired, also, four ant
| eight pound weights, and all sorts of slugs, &C.
