Retreat of Gen. Zollicofer.

The following account Of the retreat OF
Gen. Zollicoffer after his unsuccessful attack
en- Camp Wild Cat, (Ky.) we take from the
Louisville correspondence of the Chicago
Tribune:
The retreat of Gen. Zohicoftr has proved
to be most disastrous and bloody. A letter
from Camp Wild Cap says he had left his
dead and dying strewn along the road from
that point to Barbourville. 1t is estimat d
that ] GOO men persisted in the retreat. alone,
and that his loss in the battle and the retreat
will amount to 1850 men. The dead were
left on the field to be buried by the Union
troops. The field was literally strcwa with
them. They must have fought like fenls>
The execution was terrible, and the wound
ed were few. The effects of the long balls
the Minie-arc represented to have been most
terrible, Bodies were perforated and skulls
were broken into halfA dozen pieces. Many
features it was impossible to recognize. The
grape and canister Of the artillery had also
found many victims They were found lying
on the hill-sides in groups. Itappeared as il
the bodies on falling had rolled down the
steep sides of the hill, and thus piled up on
one another. The road was blocked with
them, and the Tennessee regiments in pur-
suit rushed over the bodies of their former
friends and acquaintance. Two pieces of
artillery, and all the camp equipage, with
many arms, knapsacks, and other materials,
were left by the rebels in their precipitate
flight. But the retreat was the most trying
ordeal which the rebels had to und, Ergo. The
farmers, whom for weeks past they had op-
pressed, aroused by the report Of the victory,
gathered along the road {, give parting
blow, and from Wild Cat to Barbouryil'e the
rebel army ran the gauntlet. From every
tree and rock upon.the road side the sharp
crack Of the farmers rifle greeted them and
sealed rebels fate. 1t is said that the re-
treat was one continued fight, in which the
poor devils had no chance whatever. Amhus-
cades opened their fires upon them from eve
ry side and quarter, and they felt what It was
to retreat through hostile country. Like
the English who came to subjugate ut Lex
ington, Mass, they pushed on in haste, hy-
ing from the storm of bullets that beat in I'd
on them at every step. They needed not who
fell. They pushed on, each man for himself.
seeking safety in the hills of the Gap. The
bullet of the famous rife sped on its mission.
The doomed man sank without murrnur, rs
if exhausted. His following fellows stepped
over his body and hurried on, nor stopped to
pluck his weapon from his dying grasp. Trey
lightly sprang over the fallen body Of stecd
that but moment before with dilated nos.
trils snaffed danger to his master, and then
fell unheeded by him who had ridden him.
The retribution for ourretreat of three months
ago had come. On the 2lst of the month,
three months ago. our men had retreated to
Washington !; on the 2lst Of the month they
also retreated. But this retreat was far more
terrible. The shame Of our arms in Virginia
has been wiped out in Kentucky.

Generals Lane and Sturgis--their Policie
Compared.

Gen. Sturgis' command has been following
one day behind Gen. Lane on the road from
Kansas City to Springfield. The cores
pendent of the Cincinnati Commercial, who
has been travelling with Sturgis, was at first
bitterly preiudiccd against Lanes "jayhawk-
crs," but he seems to have his eyes opened.
Writing from Osceola, after describing the
desolation there, he says: .n'
There is great complaint in this country
against Gen. Lane. When stop at houses,
as I travel along, and listen to the pathetic
stories of the women--how Lane has taken
everything they had have piticd them
from my heart. and could say that no Buck
man met who knew the man that Lane had
so despoiled, would say" Lane served him
right" Yesterday stopped at farmhouse
where the post Office was kept; the poor wo-
man, who was sick, informed me that Lane
took her clothing, and shoes from her child
ren's feet. l resolved that Lane was scoun-
drcl, and had no soul; but met Union
man mile or two of, who told me Lane did
so because johnson, the proprietor of said
house, was the most notorious leader of the
secesh forces in this country. He had killed
one Union man with his own hands, and had
robbed a host OF families. Our forces 60
along treating the most miserable traitors as
gentlemen, not even stopping to ask ques-
tons, but Lane anG his men know the men
Of old, and they demand "eye for eye and
tooth for TOOTH"
Gen. Sturgis says he can bring the whole
of North Missouri back to her allegiance with
our little army, and not fight battle, if Gen.
Lane did not undo and stir up contention.
Gen. Sturgis inpites rebels to come to their
homes and take care of their families Gen.
Lane says, gentlemen, go home, have left
your families helpless, and your presence is
positively demanded or they will perish. He
takes their horses, cattle, and does not run
the niggers out of camp as our commander
invariably does. Gen. Stureis says to every
negro 1--WE do not want YOU" Gen. Lane,
"go or come when you please;" and to the
master, find him if you can-he is not
troubling me or my command" Such are
the widely distinct policies Of the Generals

Removal of Fremont.

Gen. FREMONT, while in the face Of tn,
enemy, has been deprived of his command
Millions Of hearts will be saddened and de
pressed by this unwelcomc intelligence. w,
have put our faith in the Pathfinder, and i
stands to-day Us firm and mistaken as wher
he. amid the laudations of an undivided PEG
pie, entered upon the duties of his command
in July last. ........
His farewell address to the soldiers of ht
western army is OVERLOOKING with that trus
devotion to country, that eloqucncc of patri
otism, that magnanimity and nobleness o
heart, which have ever Characterised the lifi
of JonNfC. FRENoN7. ~'Soldiers I regret t.
leave your The words fall like death
knell upon the ears of those "brave and
generous spirits" So soon he hoped to lead
to glorious victory!
The ardent enthusiasm of that great anny
has departed like the flowing tide Of ocean
No wonder that those brave hearts were dis
consulate! no wonder that soldiers as fearless
and patriotic as the valiant Guard should feel
like laying down arms and declaring "thcy
would fight under none but Fremont!" nc
wonder the intelligence spread like wildfire, y
scorching the very hearts of those gallant
men! No man did so much to pacify the
excited soldiers and reconcile them to fate as
Fremont himself In his address not one
word appears in his defense; not syllable
of repining. Noble action! In this victory
over himself he is lifted far above his ene-
mics, and won glory and honor that will be
as lasting as time.
Some day, perhaps, we shall krow more of
this nsatter-then will be the settlement. We
trust that this, seemingly to us, unfortunate
action, may not result disastrously to the
cause; that the army of the West may give
to HUNTER that same enthusiastic support "
which it has bestowed upon Fremont.
We do not countenance any feeling of in
subordination, either among soldiers or
civilians. Our duty plainly is-to stand by
the Administration and to support it in all
its actions. We cannot believe that the
President has removed Gen. Fremont without
good cause. We do rot for moment ques-
ton the motive which prompted the action.
Yet We cannot help but hope, nay, believe,
that Gen. Fremont will pass through this
severe ordeal unscathed in his honor, his
patriotism, and his devotion to county
Believing that the President and Cabinet are
conscientiously cndeavoring to do their duty,
we are willing to abide by their decision in
this matter, as in all others, as being for the
best interest Of the country.

How Springfield was Held.

a- How Springfield was Held. --l
In the Missouri Democrat Of the 4th inst.
we find highly interesting account Of the
taking Of Springfield by FRExoNr's Body
Guard. 1t says Of the charge:
Like that of the Crimea, too, it may be
said to have been a foo,- hardy one, but it was
certainly quite as glorious charge, and be.
ing too successful one, deserves as well as
that to be handed down in story and in song
Let it ever be remembered that a little band
of 1862 determined men, rushed calamity up
on 800 or 1000 men, expecting their APP
proach, and drawn up ready to receive them,
vanquished them and chased them from their
selected battle ground. What can the chiv-
airy say now Shall we have to give them
still another example of Northern dash and
Northern plucky a.
Major ZAGoNYI, as is already known, soon
after the victory rctreated from the town
with his small force, thinking the rebels
might rally and annihilate him. This gave
the enemy an opportunity to bury their
dead and carry off their wounded, conse.
quently we shall probably never know their
exact loss, but it is estimated to be fully fif-
ty or sixty, while the number of their wound
ed will probably exceed that. The follow
ing amusingly explains how the place was
held, by the handful of men who remained
to care for our dead and wounded. 1t is by
the correspondent Of the Democrat:
The retention of Springfield on Friday
night and on Saturday after the battle, by
Corporal G. w. Sloan of the Body Guard,
End little handful Of men, is an amusing
instance of what one determined and plucky
spirit can accomplish. Corporal Sloan had
fingered at the battle-f field to attend to the
wants Of several of the wounded, and upon
arriving in the town, discovered that his COM
rades had all left. Various of the scattered
Guard came in, making in all 1s Of them,
who composed the entire garrison of the
place. Corporal Sloan called council Of
war, and it was unanimously decided that
they would stand by one another and their
wounded comrades to the last. They loaded
all their weapons, and prepared for the worst.
At frst they established picket guard, but
the Corporal, upon due reflection, concluded
that, with their small force, this was hardly
a proper military operation, and recalled
them all to the hospital. As may be supposed
the night was rather an anxious one for ali
