Correspondence of the New York Tribune
SpR1NGFIELD. Mo, Oct. 30.-Peter an ac-
tive intelligent contraband, though black as
Erebus, has arrived here from the rebel army,
after a somewhat peculiar experience. Peter
is the joint property of Capt. Vaughan, rebel
in Prices army, and Capt. Bigby, staunch
Union citizen OF this town. When Vaughan
was leaving for tile south, two weeks ago, he
insisted upon taking his haif of the chattel Pc
Ter along with him tor a body servant. Capt.
Bigby OF course, objected but Vaughan had
the power on his de, and carried away the
negro. Peter, however, being, like all the
slaves, on the Unioa side found means to send
to Capt Bigby that he would embrace the
first opportunity to run away and return TO
him and surely enough, at noon, yesterday,
he was back again, with a horse, which he
had ridden without ddle, bride, blanket, or
spur-guiding him by rope haier-all the
way from Prices camp at NeoshO, more than
eiGhfy mixes distant, since dusk on The previous
evening 1t would be difficult to find II match
for this in all the instances OF hard Fldng un.
der adverse circumstances.
Peter reports that Price army about 20 ,000
strong, was very unexpectedly attacked in the
rear on Monday evening, by force supposed
to be that Of Lane, and that in the confusion
which followed he seized the first horse he
could find, and without waiting to seek either
saddle or bride, made the best of his way out
of camp while the fight was progressing.
The story is hardly creditable, ior in order to
be at Neosho, Lane must have marched eighty
miles in two days, though he is just the man,
with his little force, to turn up where lie is
both unexpected and unwelconIe, to fall upon
the rear OF great army, and alter harrassing
it while, make good his escape. Still, the
truth probably is, that Lane was not near
Prices army but that the affair was merely
causeless panic.
If half the reports which we receive from
Lanes command are true, it will require sew.
eIa more notifications of Gen. Fremonts
proclamation to make the Kansas boys respect
the inalienable right OF seGessionists TO hold
the negro in bondage. A friend who has just
returned from Lane 5 brigade informs me that
there were $50 negroes with it, and was told
| there That one hundred had been sent to Kan
sas a few days before. AS for this command,
it is remarkable that negro servants are
good deal more numerous than they were
when we lett 81. Louis and l have not heard,
as yet, OF Gen. tremont's engaging in the
business of slave catching. Yesterday morning
| a SeceSsionist came into our camp, and claimed
a negro who is acting as body servant to Col.
Owen Loyejoy of the statf-which was about
as near as the climax OF absurdity as it is pos.
sbIe TO arrive. Col. Loyejoy quietly advised
him 10 leave the camp by the shortest posi-
bic road-and the gentleman LETT 81 would

- NAVAL EXPEpITION.

There are reports that the fleet with the eX-
pedition for the southern coast went to Port
Royal in South Carolina, that the troops have
made successful landing at two points, and
that they have taken Beaufort These reports
come 10 US from Richmond by way OF Nor
folk. Ii is added than the rebel officers win
the flag of truce refused 10 give any nforma-
tian whatever concerning The fleet. 1t Is eVi-
dent that they could have toll good deal Ii
they had been disposed. Something has been
done, and the fact that the rebels are so anx-
ious to keep the news from reaching the loyal
states indicates that the expedition has been
successful. If there were bad news from the
expedition the rebels would hasten to tell 1t,
and it would he printed in all their newspa-
pers on capital letters OF the largest size, 1t
seems quite probable that the expedition has
made successful landing somewhere near
Beaufort, ), G.
We can not have full and reliable account
of what has been done by the expedition until
steamer shall come from the fleet with dis
patches 1t is now about time for such an
arrival. After the arrival OF the fleet at Port
Royal, several days would necessarily elapse
before definite result could be reached and
full account of it made up in dispatches.
And after the steamer ssUuld start from Port
Royal or Beaufort, about three days would
pass before the news could reach Annapolis or
Baltimore, and be telegraphed over the coun'
try. Our anxiety and impatience have expect
ed the news before it was possible to get it
But now it is quite reasonable to expect 1t a
any moment when the telegraph is at work.
There has not been prevalent very conf
dent expectation Of good news from the nava
expedition. A good many people have beer
verg sure that it would result in disaster. Th
storm would scatter and wreck the ships
The army and navy officers would disagree
and quarrel. The enemy would be ready
with great army and Il great many tremen
dous cannon, to beat off our men. There woult
be some atrocious bunder, some portentou:
necromancy OF the letter B, or something else
to break down the .'peditiOn and give the
country an experience of disgracefUl failure
Under these circumstances the news Of a great
success would raise the spirits Of those whu
expect evil tidings, and produce joyful ex
element 1t is our belief that good news
with all the particulars, will arrive very soon

sweet converse with the girl he had NOT io6

into the total darkness of the tunnel AS the
cars gradually emerged into daylight again,
the passengers distinctly saw two heads sud
denly diverge from suspicious propinquity and
assume an erect position A cruel way seated
directly behind the twain, raised his hand to
his lips and gave it two loud smaclIs, which
reyerberated through the air, calling general
attention to the locality. The lady carried of
her part well, and laughed as if to say that
the joke was good one; but the youthful
soldier, his face sutfused with bushes, sprang
from his seat and rushed frantically to the
door.-Boston Post
