A SKILLFUL VANCOUVER.

Major Backof ordered two of the ar
tillery pieces in front to oblique to the
left and two to the right, and at the same
time a similar movement was made from
Col. Sigel's battalions. This was a ma
npuvre to induce Jackson's men to be-
lieve that Sigel was seeking to pass out
on the extremes of their lines, and to
outhank the cavalry. 1t was followed
by closing up to the right and the left
by the forces on the bluffs when, on
reaching a point three hundred and fifty
yards from the cavalry, the four pieces
were ordered to transverse oblique, and
Immediately heavy cross fire was OPEN
ed with canister. At the same time the
infantry charged at double quick, and in
ten minutes the state troops were scat
tered in every direction. Ten rounds of
canister were fred from each of the can
non, together with several rounds by the
infantry.
This was about five o'clock in the eve
ming, and the engagement, with the ma
n@uvering, had occupied in the neigh
borhood of two hours. Jackson's cavalry
were poorly mounted, being armed chiefly
with shot-guns and common rifles. They
had no cannon on the bluffs or hills and
were consequently able to make little or
no resistance to the attacks of Col. Sigel.
Forty-fve men and eighty horses were
taken, belonging to Jackson's troops, and
there were also captured sixty double
barrelled shot guns, and some revolvers
and bowie knives. Our informant states
that one of the prisoners, on being asked |
how many had been killed on his side,
estimated the loss at from too hundred
and ftly 10 three Hundred. !

HARD FIGHTING.

Notwithstanding their losses, the state
troops still held their position so far as to
cut Siegel's advance over the creek, and
that officer was compelled to order re-
treat in the direction Of Carthage, Jack
sons men following and surrounding the
column on three sides. During the re-
treat, firing by the infantry was kept up,
and in this way the cavalry was kept at
some distance. Sigels command got back
to Carthage at halfpast six o'clock, and
at once undertook to enter the woods
about a mile distant. This movement
was strongly and desperately resisted,
Jackson's men feeling that once in the
timber they could do nothing, being on
horseback. An effort 10 rally the cavalry
to a charge was made, which brought the
whole of the infantry into action. After
some hard fighting, Col Sigel got his men
into the woods, and SO covered his retreat
as TO force the state troops to relinquish
the further prosecution of the fight for
the night The latter returned to Car
thage, with the evident purpose Of renew
ing the battle in the morning. Lieut..
Tosk, without any positive information
n the su 3ject, thinks that in this last
near Carthage, Jackson's
men must have suffered a loss of not less
than two hundred killed. The dispatches
Of Col. Sigel to COL Harding, at the Ar
senal. place the number Of killed at q.
The report that Col. Wolf was killed is
srroneous,the officer wounded being Capt
Stoudman, Of SigePs regiment.

that the officers of Jackson's troops dis
played great ability in their mannuvros,
showing much strategic skill but that the
men were raw and undisciplined, their

THE ATTACK.


Lieut., NJ. Tosk, of the artillery attach
ed to the third regiment of Missouri vol
unteers, who acted as Col. SigePs adju-
tant in the engagement near Carthage,
arrived in St. Louis last night on the Pa
cifc train. From his statement ii appears
that on Friday morning DULY 81 at five
O'Clock, scouting party sent out by Col.
Sigel encountered, about two miles dis
tant from Carthage, a picket guard Of the
state troops who were attacked and three
taken prisoners. With all dispatch Col.
Sigel prepared to go forward, expecting
to meet the state troops some distance
west of Carthage About half past nine
the meeting took place in an open prai-
RE seven miles beyond Carthage, Lieut..
Tosk estimates the numbers of the op-
posing army at 5000, chiefly cavalry, but
supplied with battery Of five cannon
four six Founders and one twelve poun-
der--while Col. Sigel's command consis-
ted of his own regiment Of two battalions
and Col. Salmon's detached regiment
with several pieces Of artillery under the
of Maj. Backof Col. Sgeps
regiment had six hundred men and Col.
Salmon's FIVE hundred. The state (reb-
ely troops we're commanded ly Generals |
Parsons and Rains.
Major Backof, under the direction of
Col. Sigel, opened the fire which con;in-
ned briskIy for nearly two hours. In less
han an hour the twelve FOUNDER of the
tate troops was dismounted, and soon af-
er the whole battery was silenced, The /
arms Of the Federals enabled .
hem to maintain a situation of compare
lively little danger. The state troops,
yhom for convenience we shall call Jack
on's men, twice broke their ranks, but
we're rallied, and held their position very
veil considering the destructive dischar-
res against them, until their guns gave
,ut, when their column was again broken.
TIE RETREAT.
AT this juncture about fifteen hundred
f the cavalry started back with the in
ention of cutting Off Sigers transporta-
ion train, seeing which movement, re-
reat was ordered and word saat irnme- 4
lately for the wagons to advance as rap
lily as possible. BY keeping up the fire
With the infantry and bringing the artil-
cry in range whenever possible, Col. ST.
Ell managed to retard the progress OF
ackson's cavalry, and eventually to fall
ack almost unobstructed TO the baggage
rain which was some three and half ,
lilies from the scene of the first engage
lent.
BY skilful movement, the wagons
'ere placed in the centre of the column {
] such a manner that there were artil-
Fry and infantry forces both in the front
nd rear. Jackson's troops retreated, S
nd endeayored to surround the entire '
olumn by taking a position upon some
Ugh bluffs or hills overlooking creek. =
here was one road leading across this '
ream, and to progress at all without /
Irther retreating in the direction of Car I
