Another Account of the Battle of Car
lhapR


The St. Louis Herald, of the 10th instant,
gives the following version of the battle at
Carthage, Missouri, which contradicts entire
ly the kilograms published in the Lincoln
papers:
From leaky special messenger of the Boern-
slime dynasty, who came in on the train yes
terday morning from the southwest for rein
forcements, we learned the following facts
On the Sd instant Gen. Seigel, with his COM
T. nd, including Coils. Solomon's, Browns
his own regiment, as well as Col. Phelps
Guards, attacked the State troops at
Fork, in Jasper comfy.
The centre of the State troops gave way at
the first onset, for the purpose of entrapping
the Federal forces. Both wings of the State
troops advanced along the ridges as the cen-
tire fell back upon the ravine. As soon as Sci
gel Yves fairly hemmed in, general charge
was made by the State troops from all three
sides, literally cutting his forces all to pieces
Our informant says it amounted almost to a
butchery. The remainder of the Federal
forces retreated toward Carthage, leaving
about thirteen hundred dead and wounded on
the field. The Federal force ran for twelve
miles under a most terrible fire from the State
troops. The latter lost two hundred and
twenty men killed and wounded, as reported
by them. The night of the 4th the State
troops renewed the attack on the Federal
forces near Carthage, cutting them to pieces,
and taking nearly the entire command pris-
oners. The remainder of them retreated to,
ward Springfield
On the 9TH, Gen Sweeney, hearing of the
engagement, marched from near Springfield
to the rescue Of the Federal forces. Near Neo-
sho, i'll Newton county, he was met by Gen
Price, and driven back to Springfield. When
he marched from Springfield be had two thou
sand five hundred men, and when he returned
on the 18th he had only eight hundred
The slaughter must have been horrible in
all three of these engagements. The above
accounts as given by the messenger alluded
to, are fully corroborated by letters received
in this city, as well as by wounded men who
have returned, and from persons who were
engaged in the fight.
Another regiment left on the cars last night
for the seat of war.
The Louisville Courier of the 9th furnishes
the following additional particulars
We learn from a gentleman who arrived
from St. Louis on the cars, that in the fight
at Carthage, Mo-, |, 100 Federal troops were
killed and wounded and 2700 taken prisoners
b. Gratz Brown, Colonel of regiment,
was among the killed
1t is reported that Gen. Lyon surrounded
by five thousand State troops, and he is ere
this prisoner.

ten. JOnnSOh'S Return TO winchester.
The Richmond papers of the 10th inst. con.
firm the report of the abandonment of Bunker
Hill by Gen. Johnson, and the falling back of
his whole force on Winchester. The Enqu-
rer thus states the reasons for this movement:
Passengers from Winchester confirm the
previous report that Gen, johnson has fallen
back upon that point with his whole force.
The explanation which gains most credita as to
the object of Gen. Johnsons change of posi-,
ton is as follows: Patterson has sheltered
himself behind the women and children of
Martnsburg, refusing to allow them to leave.
He has also been reinforced there. Johnson
cannot attack him, therefore, except at the
peril OF the women aud children and against
large odds. He has fallen back to a point
which commands the various roads that enter
the north end of the valley, so as to prevent
Mcclellan, who hangs upon his left, from
taking his rear In this position he viii watch
the enemy and entrench himself to await the
attack.
This movement of Gen. johnson was very
distasteful to his men, and no doubt also to
himself. But we trust, and those better pre-
pared to Judge are confident that it was wise
and polite
