THE BATTLE NEAR CARTHAGE.
The Government has received the following

dispatch:
"Ss. Louis, July 10, IA heutens from
Colonel Seigel has come in from Jasper county,
Missouri, with news Of an engagement near Car.
thage, between Colonel Seigel and jackson.
We lost eight (s) killed and forty.6ve (45)
wounded. Repulsed the enemy, four Of five
eighty (s0) horses, and killed and wounded a
large number. Our two batteries did most Of
the fighting, and lost six (6) horses. Lyon and
sturgiss not more than four (4) days distant"
The reports of this lieutenant of Colonel Sic.
gel, a. given in the St. Louis papers of the next
day, (July ~ are telegraphed, and contain
the following additional particulars
"Colonel Coffee has been captured. e.
Reports have been received that the rebel
loss is 250; but the severest fight took place
subsequent to his capture.
Colonel Seigel fell back to Mount Vernon,
where he could be supported.
"Forty-fve rebel prisoners were taken.
The accounts characterize the affair as a
victory for Colonel Seigel.
"Colonel Wolf, with FIVE hundred Unionists,
had . skirmish on Saturday with fifteen hundred
rebels, thirty miles from Springfield. The
UnionHts killed thirty, and others were either
killed or wounded" .l..
1t appears from various accounts that the
rebel loss was very great. The Fort Scott Dem.
ocraf says:
The loss Of Jackson's side was very great.
Our informant says he counted between seventy
and eight wounded on the field and in the houses
by the wayside.
AT Dry Fork large amount of beef was
thrown out Of the wagons, it is supposed to make
room for the dead.
"Another informant, resident of Carthage,
states that he passed over part of the battle,
field yesterday morning, and saw wagons and
hacks passing in every direction, gathering up
the dead for interment."
A dispstch from Kansas City, July 10, saws
"The loss on the part of the State troops can.
not be less than from three hundred TO five hmm.
dred. The ground in many places was strewn
with dead horses, and the stencil was sicken
ing.
The whole country was laid desolate fences
were torn down, crops trampled into the ground,
and houses plundered.
The informant met parties of women who
stated that everything had been taken from
them by the State troops, except what they had
on their backs.
"The retreat Of the Federal forces was con.
Quoted in style worthy Of veteran troops, and
with as much coolness as if they were on
parade ground, instead of field Of battle.
at was only the overwhelming odds on the
side of the secessionists that enabled them to
carry the day. The real victory was with COL
siegel"

The ARMY.-Tbe indications are that Con.
gress will authorize no increase Of the regular
army, to continue beyond the present war.
The army and navy, even on the old footing,
have ruled everything in Washington for years.
The country will not tolerate An official mill.
tary and naval sristocracy, holding commits.
sions for life, beyond the smallest possible
number. A standing army is no protection
against such revolution as is now being sup.
pressed. This revolution was, in fact, con.
cocted IN the army, and became formidable
principally upon the strength Of the arms col.
lected in the Government arsenals. Nothing
hes happened to shake . just confidence in an
economical and republican administration Of
national affairs, and IL will be a wanton aggra.
vation Of the mischiefs Of secession, If it is
made the pretext of fastening great naval and
military establishments upon the people, to eat
out their substance and subvert their liberties.

Nh. JErFERsoN's RorrE TO THE PACIFIC
We notice the arrival at St. Louis, on the 3Oth
Of June, Of the steamer Spread Eagle, from Fort
Union, on the Missouri, 2,2l7 miles above St.
Louis, with load Of furs and passengers. The
Spread Eagle left Fort Union, which is only
. few miles from the mouth Of the Yellow
Stone, on the 2lst Of June, and made the run
in nine days and seven hours, running only by
daylight.
At Fort Union the Spread Eagle left the
little stern.wheel steamer Chippesoa, bound still
further up, to Fort Benton, at the Great Falls
Of the Missouri, with supplies, and with con.
siderable number of passengers, intending to
cross into Oregon and Washington, over the
Fort Benton and Walla. Walla military road.
That is road not yet completed. Lieut.. Mul.
lan's party is at work upon it, and is reported
to be making good progress.
The Caippe'oa had the misfortune to be
burned about $50 miles above Fort Union.
She was abandoned as soon as the FIRE broke
out Is abe had large amount of powder
among her freight.
This route to the Pacific by the Miami and
Columbia rivers, which are separated by only
q short land carriage, will soon become great
route Of emigration. 1t is the route to which
Mr.. Jefferson looked, and which he caused to
be explored by Lewis and Clarke, Immediately
after he acquired Louisiana.
The Yellow Stone is said to be nsvigable for
six hundred miles.

PRIVATE PRoPERrr.-It is impossible to pre-.
vent disorderly conduct altogether, in the pro.
gress Of large armies, but the commanding
officers of the national forces seem to be every.
where exerting themselves to repress outrages
upon private property.
A letter from Buckhannon, July Z, says:
Captain Barrett's company, nineteenth Ohio,
was parsded before the regiment this morning,
disarmed, and ordered to report at Columbus.
They were disgraced for outrages perpetrated
on the property Of secessionists BY Lieutenant
Stratton and eight privates of the company.
Captain Barrett was profoundly grieved. Sub.
sequently the commissioned officers appealed
to General Mcclellan to revoke the sentence,
and give the innocent members chance to re.
deem the reputation Of the company. After.
considering the case, the General acceded to
the desire, and the arms were restored. Lieu.

BALTIMORE, Sept. l6.-Thes. police are
arresting the secession membe2s of the
Legislature as fast as they reach Ire city,

will be no quorum tomorrow. Nearly
threc-fourths of the members of S2th
Houses are secessionists, and it is PEE

arrests this evening are, Messrs. Dennis
and Heckart, of the Senate, and Maxwell,
Lauding and Raison, OF the House. There
are now fifteen members of the House and
three of the Senate under arrest. Many
of the members cannot be found, and are

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Sept. I5.-Tbe national
loan is succeeding beyond expectation.
Several hundred subscription agents were
appointed last week, in nearly every
loyal State, including Virginia aad Ken
lucky. A considerable number have al
/ ready accepted, and sent on their bonds,
and the others willprobably all be at work
this week. The subscriptions OF the peo-
pie have exceeded nine millions, aud their
patriotic cooperation will doubtless en-
able the banks to take the second install
ment OF fifty millions, and supply all mo-
ney needed for vigorous but economical
prosecution of the war. The administra-
ton feels the Importance of justifying by
vig,r, economy and integrity, the conf
dence manifested by the masses wasteful
expenditures and corrupt contracts, by
which alone the security of the working
men who invest their earnings in the loan
can be impaired, will be vigorously ex-
pressed.
Mr.. Tassora, the Spanish Minister, has
called to assure the Secretary of State that
the report from Charleston that the Cap
tain General of Cuba has issued aproclama-
ton recognizing the rebel flag, is untrue.
What has happened is, that vessels from
any point in the United States, in posses
sion of the rebels, coming into n port with
irregular papers. are admitted without no.
tice of their irregularity, just as they have
been admitted in all other ports. Since
the rebels obtained possession of the Gus
tom Houses in the insurgent States, il is
needless to say that 40 such vessels can be
abroad without escaping the blockading
force. There is no recognition of u rebel
aag in the Spanish ports or any other
ports.
There has been more than the usual
quiet prevailing on the Virginia side of the
river throughout the day. The recent
order for the better observance of the Sab
bath was everywhere respected. The re-
llgious services in the various camps were
numerouslY attended.
The President has appointed Maj. Ord,

not weigh feather in the case. IL par
ties arc bailed in Maryland aud in New
York there is no reason why this Court
should not exercise its discretion. In any
case where the Attorney for the Govern
ment recommends bail the Court Will
grant it. The Court has great confidence
in the legal ability of the District AttOr-
ney, aud he is supposed to be at all times
familiar with the evidence before the
Grand Jury.
The District Attorney said that as gem
eral rule he would not oppose the granting
of bail except where blood has flown
from the acts of party. In that case he
never would consent Giving aid and
comfort to the enemy is treason. The
punishment for treason is death. Many
persons never thought of this and Mr..
Hughes among the number.
Thos. Sweeney and DR.. Alfred Hughes
entered upon the bond of the prisoner.
The conditions of the obligation were
stated to be that the prisoner is to appear
ON the first day of the next term of the
oourt-that he will not in the meantime
give any aid or comfort to the enemy, in
any way whatever.
