Further Particulars Of the Fight
Near Carthage.

ST. LOUIS, July IL.
Lieut. Task, COL S,igers ad jutant, and
bearer of dispatches to Col Harding, gives
the following additional particulars of the bat
tic near Carthage. The State troops were
posted on ridge in the prairie, with four pie
ces of artillery, one six FOUNDER in The cen
ter, and two six Founders on the right and
left; the cavalry on each flank, and infantry
in the rear of the artillery. COL Seigel ap-
preached within eight hundred yards, with
four cannon in the center of his infantry, and
six FOUNDER under Col Hassendarel on the
left; COL Soloman's command with six-
pounder on the right, and battery Of infant
ry behind the center artillery. Col. Seigel's
lief. opened fire with sharpness, and soon the
engagement became general. The rebels hav-
ing no grape, and their artlllerists being poor,
the balls flew over the heads of the Federal
troops.
After two hours firing the enemy's artille-
ry was entirely silenced, and their ranks bro
ken. About 800 rebel cavalry then attempt
I'd to to outtlank Seigel and cut off his bag
gage train, which was three miles back, when
a retrograde movement was ordered The
train was reached in good order and surround
ed by infantry and artillery, and the retreat
continued until point was reached where
the road passed through high bluff, on each
side Of which the enemy's cavalry was posted
in large numbers. By feint as if to pass
around the bluff, Seigcl drew the cavalry in
solid body into the road, at a distance OF only
$50 yards from his position, where, by rapid
movement of his artill :ry he poured heavy
cross fire of canister into their ranks; at the
same time his infantry charged at double
quick, and in ten minutes the State forces
scattered in every direction.
Eighty five riderless horses were captured,
sixty-Hve shot guns, and number of revolv-
ers and bowie knives were picked up from the
ground. Seigel did not surround Carthage,
as reported yecterday, but attempted to reach
the prairie and woods north of the town. and
after two hours desperate fighting, in which
all the forces on both sides were engaged, and
in which Lieut.. Task thinks the enemy lost
nearly 1000 killed, he succeeded in doing so,
and the rebels retired to Carthage. Seigel
fell back on Sarcoxie, fom whence he pro
ceeded next day to Mt. Venom.
Lieut. Task left Mt. Vernon on the evening
Of the 7th, and rode to Rolla, 153 miles, in 80
hours. He met Gen. Sweeny's cosimand five
miles, and Col. Browns regiment l6 miles
from Mt. We non, pressing forwas to rein
force Seigel.
Lieut. Col Wolf was not killed, as reported
yestei day.

Blu: he has finally come to the surface and is
still true to his old instincts Wherever there
is party more corrupt than any other or all

had mounted clean shirt, or performed
some other equally unusual exploit. But no,

CASUALTIES OF THE WAR.-The total num-
Der of casualties on the side of the Federal
forces that occurred during the month of June,
was 167. Of these "a soldiers were killed, and
81 wounded in battles and skirmishes 20
were killed and were wounded accidentally,
either by the careless use of firearms, or by
drowning, or being run over by railroad cars;
3 died OF disease, and one was shot for DISC
bedience Of orders. On the part of the rebels
it is impossible to state accurately the number
of killed and wounded; and perhaps we may
never be informed Of the true state of facts in
reference to their casualties As far as our
knowledge extends, however, there have been
"a killed and 20 wounded in battles and skir-
mishes. At the attack of Home Guards OF
st. Louis upon the citizens on the 18th ult,
six persons were ekilled.-Erchnnqe.

Editorial Correspondence.
CHICAGO, July II, 1861.

DEAR JoURNAL.-I arrived here this morn
ing, after pleasant ride and comfortable berth
in sleeping car on the c. & R. l. r. r. Bus
incss is extremely dull here, though the hotels
appear to be crowded l visited Camp Long
this morning. 1t is near Cottage Grove, about
three miles from the heart of the city. There
arc at present encamped at this place the 18th
Illinois Regiment and Col. Mulligan's Irish
Brigade, numbering in all about 1000 men,
In the former is the company from Moline,
commanded by Capt Garriott. The soldiers
are well and in good spirits, excepting few
cases If sickness in the hospital
A romantic incident occurred in the quar-
tiers of the Irish Brigade, last evening. a
young girl, Of Norwegian parentage, presented
herself in male attire to Capt. Moriarty, of the
company from Lasalle, who Immediately sus-
pect,d her sex. On mentioning his suspicious
to her she confessed her disguise, but still in
sisted Oh being admitted as member of the
company, declaring she was able to bear
musktt and perform all the duties of active
service. The Captain endeavored kindly to
dissuade her from her object, and had her con-
ducted outside the lines. This forenoon. as
we were passing through the Camp, she was
pointed out to us, standing on the outskirts
and looking wistfully at the movements of the
soldiers. She was still dressed in coat and
pants-a grey cassinet suit She looked
much like boy of l5 or 16. The Captain
says she appears determined to go with the
brigade at all hazards.
Capt. Mackey's company, from Muscatine,
has been rather unfortunate In consequence
of not being full when it arrived here, in was
not given place in Col. Muliigan's brigade
This disappointment caused many ofthe men,
bcrs to desert. Some left the city and some
joined other companies, till, as am told, on
ly about twenty are left. They are quartered
in the city, as one company of the
two or three thus far organized into the
douglas Brigade"

in few days. JIM.

DEMOCRATIC Pow Wow-Thc pieba.d Dem.
ocracy OF this county met last Saturday to
choose delegates to Mahony's Rebel Conven-
ton. We learn that it afforded rare sport
Tor lovers of the ludicrous. By some strange
~ hocus-pocus the rebels secured a majority
of the committee Oh resolutions, and the chief
traitor, Byington, was chairman of the same.
Ye mighte Le Grand drew the resolutions
from his trowser's pocket, and it is unneces-
sary to say that they fairly reeked with trait
orous sentiments and disloyalty to the govern
ment that protects him. The discussion Of
the resolutions was refreshing - Edmonds,
Folsom and others-to their credit - leadln;
Oft against, and Byington and perhaps others,
lavoling them. One eccentric but frank and
patriotic gentleman characterized the spirit of
the resolutions as 6 a id lie." The ayes
and nays were demanded, but even this did
not prevent the passage of the resolutions, by
u small majority c. Republican.

SOUTHERN TYRANNY.-Reports are constant
Iy received from the South of the tyranny

Who escape from that country tell the same
story, not only Of the wrongs that are done
but of the violence amounting to 'barbarism,
that prevails everywhere. One just escaped
from Virginia says they have now a standing
order forbidding any one to leave the country,
so that if any do leave who have property,
that must be sacrificed beyond the hope Of
remedy

SOUTHERN "GENrLEMEN" There has here

outside barbarians of the North to know pre-

but rather indefinite being a Southern 'gen-

now, however, but to rest by proclamation
of Gen. Pillow, who, being lone of 'em," of
course must know. He says he ordered
whiskey and tobacco for the troops "knowins
that they were gentlemen, and used to plenty
of whiskey and tobacco" Rather different
from our notions, that.

affair after all. By the report of Lieut.. Task,
published elsewhere, it will be seen that al
though Col. S.igel retreated, the result was a
complete victory for him. The loss of jack
sons forces was enormous in proportion to
the number engaged, while the loss Of the
Federal troops was but trifing. As both ar
mics are being rapidly reinforced, and both
are determined on desperate struggle, We
may expect to hear Of more hot work in that
