NOTES UPON THE WAR

It appears from McCulloughs proclamation
after The battle Of Wilson Creek. that his force
consisted Of troops from Arkansas, Texas. and
Louisiana. 1t has been said that he had rso;.
mcnts from Tennessee and Mississippi, but that
seems ~ have been mistake The numh., =.
McCnlloughs troops can hardly have been
more than enough to make up, with the S 200
Missourans under General Price, the liOoo
organized men of which the combined army of
Invasion is said to have consisted. Indeed, if
Mccullough had 5000 men, 1t is more than he
was represented to have, in any accounts prior
to the battle. 10 addition to these $4,000 in
organized regiments, it Is alleged that there
was an irregular" force Of 10000, which is
probably an exsggcration, and, so far as II is
true, refers doubtless, to description Of force,
more likely to do harm than good, viz crowd

at the house of Mr.. Upton, about which the
Union pickets had been seen during the day.
The first ball went through the house, and
dropped into the yard the second ball struck
