FROM MISSOURI.

AhAAhdIOhI DiO.i zos
The following account of recent events in
this vicinity is furnished to the st. Louis
Republican. A large secession force surroun-
ded this town on both sides of the river last
week, and arrested number of Union men,
among them Ex-Governor King, Judge Ry-
land, and VIM. S. Fields, and on Friday last
week, at the instance of the gentlemen above
named, flag Of truce was sent in by the
rebels, which resulted in conference about
mile from the town, between Col. Rout,
Gen. Reed and Capt. Shelby on the rebel
side, and Major Becker, Capt Graham, and
Lieut.. Brown on Federal side. Rebels de-
manded unconditional surrender of the
Fort which was fatty refused.
During the investment Of the town by the
secessionists good deal of skirmishing took
place in the streets of the city and in the
woods on both sides of the river. The Fed
eral troops destroyed the ferry houses on the
north side of the river, where the fight oc-
CURED between a small force under Lieut..
Brown and the rebels, in which four or five
of the latter were killed and q number
wounded, and several of Browns men
wounded, one mortally.
On Thursday Lieut. Brown, with twenty
men, was attacked in the streets of the city
by company of seceSsionists under Capt.
Withrow, in which the latter were complete
" routed and Capt. Withrow taken prise ner
after being severely wounded by Brown.
On Friday all further attempts to reduce
the place were abandoned, Col Rout retiring
with his command towards Independence,
and Col. Reed moving towards Fort Scott,
leaving Capt. Shelby with about six hundred
men at his old rendezvous on Tabo creek,
eight miles east of Lexington, and a consid-
cradle secession force in the bottom between
Lexington and Richmond.
The forces thus left cut of al mail COM
munication. Gen. Reed, in going toward
Fort Scott, took with him Messrs. King, Ry-
tand, Field, and other prisoners.
The whole loss, in all the fighting, on the
secession side, was eight killed, besides the
wounded, and on the Federal side, one NOR
tally and several slightly wouned.
The Federal troops burned a warehouse
and several frame houses where the rebels
had eneamped on the north side.

The War Department yesterday sent word

Reconnaissance was made to-day down ouf
whole line. The condition OF our camps is
excellent. The soldiers are anxious to meet
the enemy.
Heavy firing was heard this morning. 1t
was battery practice.
The Pickets of the enemy are clearly in
sight. Each party avails itself of every
chance to get shot.
1t is feared the Confederates intend she'll

One of our soldiers will be shot next Mon
day for sleeping on his post.

Battle near Washington Immediate and
Inevitable.
Col. FOrney writes from Washington TO

Col. Forney writes from Washington TO
he Philadelphia Press:
Without knowing anything more of mill
tary plans than you do in Philadelphia, and
ouiy Judging from what sec and what
hear, 1 think a battle is immediate and in
eyitable. think it is immediate and newt
able because that traitor flag which floats
from Munson's Hill, and within sight of the
capital must fall back. In flies there per-
petual menace to the people Of this metropo-
lis. Within range of the cannon shot nf our
notifications, within an hours march of
Arlington flights, the centre of rebel camp,
and the type of great conspiracy, General
Mcclellan owes it to the country that 1t
shall be furled and never to float again.
But there are other reasons which leave this
impression upon my mind, and which may
be more easily suggested than written: !
think our army is up 10 highly efficient
lighting point. l know that our men are
eager for the fray, and we are now on the
threshold OF the genial autumn months which
Nature seems to have given US for grapes to
grow and men to fight. Our fortihcations
are large, numerous, and well defended IN
all the means and appliances of an army we
are unsurpassed, and the people, after the
taste of Hatterss, are eager to enjoy the
fruits of victory. Is there reason, then,
why we may not look for an immediate
advance?

One proposition for the defence of Cincin-

organize the Fire Department into an artil-

good patriots, the fremen will be glad of
this opportunity to serve their country. ],
Is hardly to be expected that in any other
way the city can afford to maintain set
Of horses to manage the battery. A gun

AsuTABULA COUNTY IN TIE FELD-We
have seen several comparisons of the relative
patriotism of different localities that look
very well, and would at other times astonish.
Still we are ready to make a comparison of
our county with any other. Our population
is about 80 900, ard our vote is little over
5000. OF these there is a very large pro-
portion of old men and those of frail health,
the flower of our young men leaving for the
Western States and other points, where there
is brisk trade or cheap land. This being a
purely rural, indeed almost pastoral coun-
ty, the tendency is to leave US with q small
er proportion of able bodied young men than
is ususls Notwithstanding this, we shall in
a few days, have in the field and camp, near
one fifth of our voters. We furnished two
companies of infantry and one of artillery
for the three months service. We have one
large company in Virginia; and a six gun
battery IN Missouri. We have furnished a
company of cavalry, and more than one hun
dred recruits for various places out of the
county. We have three companies in Camp
Giddings, with two or three more forming,
and John Brown, Jr, has his company near
ly ready to join Montgomery, in Kansas
We think this is equal TO the most patriotic,
and are ready 10 compare.-Ashtabala Ser

communication was likely to cease between
the North and the South, l take this, my
last opportunity, Of writing to you. 1t is
necessary for one TO live, as do, among
the southerners, to see how vile and blood

into the ranks at the peril Of their lives.
A great deal Of sickness is in the camp
Small pox has begun its fatal work, anc
yellow fever has made its appearance. L
the war continues much longer, great fesl
is expressed on account Of the scarcity O.

during that time over one hundred reports.
Some of these repor,s appeared in the vicin-

We publish elsewhere the proceedings in
fun ofthe Convention which met at Colum-
bus oneThursday, and 1t would be enough to
simply point our readers to that report and
70 the ticket which was then put in nomina-
nation to ensure their enthusiastic support
The record shows upon its face the fact that
the Convention was the most harmonious
ever held in Ohio. There was not the sem
blance Of dispute or disruption. Every nom
i.atiOn was quickly made, and no sooner
made than aequiesced in. Not a dissenting
voics was heard to any name, and not a
wrsngling resolution or motion was intro
ducsd.
The temptation to speak too often was hap
PLY forestalled by Green, of Hamilton coun-
u, who at an early part of the proceedings
pleasantly moved that no member should
speak more than six times in FIVE minutes
The warning was perhaps not needed, but it
did no harm, and no one grumbled at 1t. In
eYery case where there were a number Of
names proposed for any Office, some of them
declined rather than have the time of the
Convention consumed in tedious bNllotings,
or to awaken any hard feelings in their op-
ponents. No stronger proof need be given
of the harmony that prevailed than that
every nomination was made unanimous and
greeted with warn-hearted cheers.
If the enthusiasm manifest at the Conven-
ton was any indication of the general feel
ing throughout the State land thati was a
fair index cannot be doubted, for the dele
gates were no old party leaders, but repre-
ssntati7es fresh from and Of the people,, then
We may confidently look forward to victc-
y, such as no ticket has ever yet received in
Ohio. The men upon the ticket are ali men
Of good moral and social standing, of ac-
knowledged ability, and Of the armest adber-
enee to the Union, the Constitution and the
enforcement of the laws. They respond tc
to the call OF the people for vigor and de
termination in putting down rebellion, and
viii hOnOrably lead Ohio through the war
Of our noble standard bearer, Hon. David
Tod, we need say no more than we have
heretofore said, when we have urged hil
nomination. We knew that be was a mar
Of the people, and one whom they would
love to honor. We knew his patriotism
his honesty, and great executive and business
abilities were such as merited the highest con-
hdence, and we therefore inscribed his name
upon our flag. That flag, with that name
upon it, we fully expect to see representing g

Contrary to what was anticipated, we
have nothing By the last steamer from Ga

he has deferred his purpose Of rendering
his services to the Government. He prob

and is unwilling to encounter them again,
&c he doubtless would, unless there is q
paramount necessity. he lie known to en-

engaged, and increasingly endeaVOrs to ex-
plain to the people the real issues between
