The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1861-08-22

supply an important omission in the dispatch
referred to, and which he supposes is all that
appears on the subject in the Baltimore pa
psrs OF this morning.
lyon IS a dead cock IN the ptt hfs time, be-
yond ali pe-ddventurs. having been shot In
1.-THE small Of the back. whilst gioriously lesd-
ing his column on to" dcfedt, instead OF "vic-
tory" IS the Democrat Extra OF last evening
had it In large capitals. Siegle was in fuii re-
treat upon Rolla, with the remnant OF what
was the Grand Army of Southwest Missouri,
on Sunday last having left Zone OF ms gums
on the HEIDI as the Democrat itself admits,
together with eight hundred killed TN the
other hand, the same impartial narrator in
forms us that this " glorious victory was
purchased only altsr most desperate strue :
Yie on the part Of the rebels, and the Gloss OF
Generals McCuiloch, Price, Parsons, ana
many other prominent officers among them,
it WIS a severely foHght engagement, there
can be nc Question nor can IT be douoted that
ire loss N the side Of the SS troops mas
bean heavy for, though numf.cally stronger
than their enemy, this latter, nevertheless,
had with them several regiments OF U States
regulars from Fort Leavenworth and other
points, As also several batteries, comprising
some twenty pieces OF artillery, ofiicered and
worked hv men who for years past have been
in the Government service, perfectlng them :
selves in the manual of this branch OF the art
of war / need scarcely say that no one mere,
aCQ uain ted with the lying character OF the
dis patches received by the telegraph in these
days, attaches the least credence TO the re-
ports respecting McCulloch, Price and Par
sons death but rather attribute them TO a
laudabie desire on the part OF those concerned
to mitigate, in some degree by this resort TO a
pi0uS fraud, what may be regarded as Sc {.
we're III teton, visited upon the loyal people
of this city and State for they were exuit-
ant, only the day before yesterday even, at
the positive assurances Of success, forwarded
them from day to day by the doughty Lyon,
and the consequent speedy and dutiful re-
turn of the State TO Ter loyalty to the be-
nefcent power at Washington. Alack a-day !
the result affords but another instance Of
thu ruth OF the adage respectin the schemes
OF and mice; and il Abraham Lin
coin, when the details OF this affair at
Springfield shall have reached him, don t
admit that somebody was hart, 1t will
be, perhaps, because he ascribes as much
sQftaeSs 10 the pedal extremity of the fair

put her foot i0toTi in the vicinity of Spring

as Soma prtludiced people do to the organ

known as brains. Whatever the President
may think on the subject there was the ID
to pay among the taiiors" out here yesterday,
AZ was abundantiy evidenced by the running

evening, OF men dressed IL soldiers clothes,

through Market and Chestnut streets last
night about 10 O'Clock, on their gay to the

or three Of them informed the writer. The
news Of YES te rday has thrown the city in TO Il
great state OF excitement, because CT the very
uncertainty in which the minds OF citizens
have been lett to nounder by reason OF the
meagreness Of its details, and | would not be

Of toW Oh Sunday, the twelfth OF May last
All we know is, there has been repetition OF
the BLIt Run affair III the neighborhood of
Springfield, WI I'll serious disaster 20 the eCe-
sTal fnlces that SIegei was retreatiag hastily

Last evening took possession of Pilot Knob,
the Southern terminus of the Iron Mountain
Railroad, be true-it, say, his march should
BRING him here, there must OF necessity be q
severe fight, even within the city limits; for
Fremont has several thousand troops a. the
arsenal, the barracks, and else where IL the
immediate vicinity, End for several days has
been planting cannon ON al the principal
roads leading TO it on the west and south
I on will not wonder, then, that people should
have become panic stricken, especially whe n
| inform you that the Dutch have said they
would ra2a the city, rather than that it should
pass from their hands to that of the Ameri-
cans and tn ere are many Northern men here
who, from their i'm lac:ble hatred of the Sou Ia
and all whose sympath.e. lead them to es-
pOuse her cause, would no DOUBT cheertuily
lend . helping hand III carrying cut their
atroc!cus threat.
