The Fight near Springfield, Mo-
General Lyon and Ben. McCulloch
Reported Killed.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. I3.
The following is the official report of the
fight near Springfield, on Saturday last,
forwarded by one of Gen. Lyons Aides dc.
Camp, to Gen. Fremont.
Gen. Lyon, in three columns, under him
self, Gen. Sicgel and Major Sturges of the
Cavalry, attacked the enemy at halfpast c
o oclock, on the morning of the 10th, nine
miles southeast of Springfield The engage.
ment was severe. Our loss is about S0u
killed and wounded Gen. Lyon was killed
in charge at the head OF his column. Our
force was 5000, including 1000 Home
Guards. The muster rolls reported taken
from the enemy, give their strength at %,
900, including regiments from Louisian1,
Mississippi and Tennessee with Texan Ran.
gers and Cherokee half breeds. Their loss is
reported heavy, including Generals McCul-
loch and Price. His statement is corrobora-
ted by prisoners. Their tents and wagons
were destroyed in the action.
.Seigel left one gun on the field and retreat
ed to Springfield with large number of
prisoners At three clock on the morning
OF the llth, he continued his retreat upon
kolla, bringing off his baggage trains and
S25, 900 in specie from the Springfield Bank.
The following is verbal report taken from
q special messenger, who brought dispatches
for Gen. Fremont.
Early on Saturday morning Gen. Lyon
marched out of Springfield to give the en-
emy battle. He came upon Green's
Prairie, a few miles southwest of Springfield,
where he had taken a strong position on
rolling ground. At twenty minutes past six
Q clock in the morning Gen. Lyon fred the
first gun, when the battle Immediately be-
gan. A severe cannonading was kept up
tor two or three hours, when the fire of
Capt. Totten's artillery proving too severe
Tor the enemy, they gradually fell back TO-
wards their encampment, on Wilson's Creek,
Gen. Lyons cavalry, posted on the enemy
cit flank, and Gen. Siegel's artillery on the
tight, then begana terrible attack and spread
slaughter and dismay in the ranks Of the
enemy, pursuing them to their camp; shells
rom Totten's artillery setting fire to their
ents and baggage wagons, which were all
destroyed. A Louisiana regiment and q |
regiment seemed to have suffered
most in the fight and were almost annihila-
ed
Some time, in the afternoon as Gen. Lyon
vas leading on his column his horse was
shot from under him. He Immediately
mounted another, and as he turned around
9 his men, waving his hat in his hand and
'heerlng them on to victory he was struck

md Gen. Siegcl and his army may be con-
'idered safe.

1G-A Secession quack doctor, by the
name Of Hughes of Wheeling some time ago
published in the Wheeling Inteligencer, a
very abusive attack upon John G. Tallman,
Esq, Of Bridgeport Mr.. Tallman very
properly paid no attention to the black guard !;
but Mr. Campbell, of the Inteligencer, now
says that the card of the valiant doctor
was published during his absence, and that
if he had been home it should not have ap-
peared. To this the doctor gets up another
reply, which he cannot got in either of the
papers Of Wheeling. In the Inteligencer
Of Saturday Mr.. Campbell, over his own
signature, gives the fellow severe castiga-
tion. He denounces him as "a personal,
political, and professional charatan," an
"oily gammond hypocrite," ian i'm
placable extortioner and dishonest en-
piric."
As Hughes, in his attack on Mr.. Tall
man, talked very muchly'' of "pistols
and coffee for two," it is supposed that Mr..
Campbell will be Immediately challenged.
We are every day expecting to hear of some
thing desperate from the enraged doctor.
The Gazette, which agrees with the learn
ed doctor on the Secession question, also
published his card"

naA- He has sufficient ability, but other
wise entirely untitled for the position. lie
is profligate and spendthriit, and places
no more value on money than the dust under
his feet. "-lGazette, Of last week.
We referred last week to the positions oc-
cupied in and relations sustained by Mr..
kennon to the Democratic, party, for the
purpose of showing the estimation in which
he has heretofore been held by that party.
Talented enough, good enough, economical
enough to hold the position of Elector, and
Chairman Of Central Committee, and to re-
ceive the undecided support of the delegation
from thiscounty in the District Convention for
the position Of Congressman, it is thought
little strange that Mr.. Kennon should 80
suddenly become entirely untitled for the
position" Of Representative. The secret Of
the whole matter is TO be found in the bitter
hatred entertained by the editor of the
Gazette for the Kennon family, on account
ofcertain knowledge possessed by them in
relation to that gentleman, and because they
never could be made use of by him as cats
paws to carry out his purposes and designs.
The charge that Mr. Kennon "isa proAigate
and spendthrift' is a base, malicious misrep-
resentation, that finds an echo nowhere but
in the hollow head of its unprincipled au.
thor; but, if true, there would still be this
difference between Mr. Kennon and the Ed
itor Of the Gazette-unless some of the new
made friends Of the latter, with whom he
has of late become so intimate, have bascly
him,-Mr. Kennon spends
only what he has honestly obtained, spends
only his o,on money,-what he has earned
by his own industry.

.D6-F For ourselves we have always belong.
ed to the old Democratic party, that has
sustained the Constitution and the Union. -
lGazette.
Yes and SO has JEFF. Davis and Toombs
and Yancey and Keitt and Wise and Pryor
and Wigtall and Breckenridge and Vallan-
digham, and every other Traitor in the
country, North Or South, and so have the
States Of Virginia, South Carolina, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas; and
so did North Carolina, Tennessee, Lousi-
ana, Texas, and Georgia, before they were
prepared to destroy the Constitution and
break up the Union. These are the men
and the communities with which you have
been associated in ''the old Democratic par
ty," and the reason why you feel that lit is
not necessary for US to sink or ignore our
party feeling is because you are still in
sympathy, in sentiment, in feeling, and would
be in action with these Democrats that are
traitors to their own interests, their country,
and their God, were you not too consummate
coward to aid in carrying out by force what
you desire to see effected, and what you are
endeavoring to accomplish by the cry of
compromise, and the circulation of Peace
Petitions.

s0A-A great many of our volunteers Of
company X returned on a visit from Camp
Goddard on Saturday. We learn from them
that large part of the Regiment will re-
enlist for the war When at Clarksburg the
l7th was addressed by Gen. Rosecrans, who
said the Regiment was one of the best un
der his command that it had done great
deal of hard service that would never be
fully appreciated by the country. "Go
home, boys, " said the General, re organize
your Regiment, and come back here in four
weeks, and l will promise you a nice little
trip. The little trip the General spoke of
the boys are anxious to take with him; they
like the General. and the General likes
them. With competent Colonel to lead
them the boys will make their mark.
The Regiment is now being paid off and
mustered out of service The boys are gen.
orally in good health. There are one or
two in the hospital, with slight ailments.

A6REcEpTIoN OF RETURNED VoLUN-
TEERs.-We were present at the picnic
given by the citizens of Martinsville and Vi
cinity in honor Of the volunteers under Capt
Wallace, and as welcome to their homes on
their return from their campaign in Western
Virginia. The managers deserve great credit
for the successful manner in which the whole
affair was gotten up; and the people gener-
ally in the neighborhood manifested the
deep feeling they have in the present crisis
by the abundant manner in which they sup
piled every thing necessary to make the oc-
casion one Of deep interest to every body in
attendance. Speeches were made by Cover
nor Pierpoiht and A. w. Campbell of Vir-
ginia, and B. s. Cowen and G. L. Poorman,
of Ohio, that, judging from the indications,
gave general satisfaction. The dinner was
a magnificent and luxurious affair, and every
person present seemed to enjoy that branch
of the entertainment, which was so abun-
dainty supplied that even after the immense
crowd present was fully satisfied there was
left more than ''twelve baskets Of frag-
meDts."
The whole affair was decided success,
and cannot fail to have good effect. We
should like to give the details of the meet
ing, with the names Of ofcommittees, order of
proceedings, &c. but want of room prevents

TO faint over the calamities of war. did all
that their skill and industry could do to
plunge Kentucky into the war. Had their
counsels been followed, every one sees that
Kentucky soil would now be covered with
hostile armies. But now they are for peace
peace Have they got converted? We
should have rejoiced 70 think thew had but
they are too willing. The scripture must
be fulfilled: "He that taketh the sword
shall perish by the sword" They have
taken the sword, and must take the conse.
quences. They can blame us. We warned
them early. They have raised a storm thew
il we could but we should not be needed
now. War, like an epidemic, will run its
course. Let those who provoked il. who
engaged in what they and all the world knew
would produce il, not set themselves up now 10
cry for peace
When men prepare means for plunpinp
into war, with a full understanding of the
result, let them not try to shock other peo.
pie with the calamitie. Of war. They needn't
assume that they only have a right to fgbt
and kill, and rob; but think il Is awful
criminal for others to do so.
II these irrcsponsibles want TO ret any
credit for sincerity, let them keep quiet
about peace. The inconsistency is too glar.
ing, and the zeal too new born. It Is too
fresh and refreshing. Let them lay down
their arms, 90 home, and live as their fathers
and they will have peace. Nothing is easier;
and If they can't do that for peace let them
not say they want peace, when they refuse
Il on such easy terms. They want peace,
however, and the fat offices they have pro.
yided for themselves. The visions of lofty
honors they have invented, they fear, is
likely to cost TOO much, and what is worse,
to fall altogether.

The Peace Agony.

The remarks below We copy from the
leader of late nulnbor of the Louisville
Democrat. These we would most respect
fully recommend to the attention of the anti
war Democratic papers Of this place.
1t must be remembered that the Louis
vile Democrat, whose Editorial corps has
been presided over by Harney near twenty
years, was and is Democratic sheet.
1t supported Gen. Cass in ls4S; Gen.
Pierce in 1852 and Mr.. Buchanan in 1856,
and we are of the opinion Mr. Douglas in
1860 The meantime the paper has support
ed Democratic nominees; among which we
may mention Ex-Governor, now Senator
Powell, and we think also the election of the
present Governor of Kentucky himself. =
This is then truly significant deliverance,
and worthy of the attention of those who
are allowing themselves to plead for peace
and compromise with those who avow the
intention to overthrow the Government of
these United States, peace and compromise
too, to be proposed to those rebels while
thus in arms
PEAcEl PEACE PEACE!
What an agony for peace has lately seized
all the advocates OF Secession War is very
horrible. Let's have peace; by all means
let's have peace. How jealous new converts
become They outstrip old professors -
When one looks over their past record, how
changed, and, indeed, howinconsistent with
the present practice ...
Peace indeed The whole country, except
themselves, was at peace When they were
arming, drilling, seizing forts, arms, money
from the Federal Government. it forebore.
They seemed intent on war, for its own sake.
They deliberately chose to take the road to
war, and found hard work to provoke it. 1t
seemed as if their chances for war would be
removed, greatly to their disappointment
and disgust. Rather than fail, they gather
ed seven or eight thousand men, and erected
batteries to attack an unresisting foe of only
sixty or seventy men. They couldn't even
wait day or two to starve out gallant
commander and but handful of men,
They poured upon him deluge of fire so
eager were they for war. Then high Of
fetal boasted and threatened that the Con-
federate flag should wave over the Capitol
at Washington-the unresisting Capitol of
the United States that then stood undefend-
ed II these Confederates wanted peace
then, it cost them great labor and skill
to break the peace Indeed, peace would
have been the death of all their cherished
purposes. Their very vitality required that
blood should be shed, and they had hard
work to shed blood. Their allies here, who
are now frantic for peace, and almost ready
