From telcgraphic information received
from Fayetteville, last night and this mcrn-

tween the forces of Gen. McCulloch and
Gen. Lyon. on Saturday last. about eigh,
miles this side Of Springfield. Our dis
patches are meagre-but sufficient is ascer-
tained to know that the federal troops were
routed with great loss-GenI. Lyon was
among the killed. The wounded and kill
ed on our side was considerable-amona
the reported killed. are Captain H. THos
RRowS. and Orderly Sergeant SAMUEL
MARTls, Of the Van Buren, Frontier Guard
of this City. Lieut. Jos. WALros. Fort
Smith, Capt Bslr, Fayetteville. and Lieut.
wEArAa. Of Little Rock Artillery. Maj.
WARD, Of Sd Regiment, had his arm sno,
off and it was thought would die of the
wound.
By private letter, we learn that Major
HARPER, of Churchill's regiment was kill
ed, and that Capt. j. T. Stewards compa-
ny suffered severe losses.
We learn from Mr. Minhart, who left
camp Saturday evening. 5th inst:
Lyon attacked McCulloch the Confed
crate troops gained q signal victory. Con.
federate loss from 200 to 800 killed and
between 400 and 500 wounded. Federal
loss 400 to 500 killed, and 600 to 700
wounded. 1t was expected that McCulIoch
would attack the Confederate forces a,

previous evening. Sunday morning. 80
or 40 of Col. DeRosy Carroll's regimen,
killed.
The attack was made by surprise our out
er picket guards were taken prisoners and
the enemy were enabled to get in on the main
forces before they were really ready fol
them which no doubt is the cause of the
great loss of life On our part.
The running among our troops, wal
done by FIVE regiments of Missourans
Gen. Price we learn, attempted twice te
bring them to a charge-but it could mo-
be done, and they flew the field.
The Louisiana Regiment done gallantly
and suffered much. To them is attribute
