CAPTURE or TmF NOTORIOUS col
MAGOFFlN.


OrrEnvnLE. Mo-. Dec. 22-I learned
yesterday that among the prisoners taken
by Gen Pope. last Thursday. was the no
torious Col. Magoffin. of Georgetown. Mo.
About two weeks ago. Col. Magoffin sent
word to the commanding officer that his
wife was dangerously i'll. and begged to be
permitted TO see her ere she died. He was
Informed that If he would give his parole
as o prisoner OF war, his request would be
granted He did SO. and went home. and
the next that was heard Of him was that he
commanded the whole force that defended
the bridge which Col. Davis carried BY as
sault: that he fed with his party and was
not taken until some time after the rest Of
the rebel force had surrendered. and in
consequence Of the darkness of the night
he was not recognized until the Dext iay.
II seems that Col. Magoffin. having visited
his home. arranged has affairs. and lent a
messenger recalling his parole; but instead
Of surreudering, himself as officers usually
do, he left, and before this messenger reach
ed Sedslia. he was in the rebel army; and
when the fight came on. feeling thai he
deserved and would probably receive diff
ferent treatment from those who hadnot for
feitcd all right to be treated as prisoners oil
war. fought desperately. but unavsilingly-
Gen. Pope refused to accept bis parole.
and ordered him to be placed in con6ne-
ment until Gen. Halleck decided what lis
position to make of him. He is one oi
the most desperate and inscriptions oil
the marauders in this section. and It is tc
DO hoped that he will receive the punish.
ment his crimes and his forfeiture of bis
cath deserve. 4 $50
