Ex- Gov. JAcKsoH's FoRcEs.-TheS So.
Louis Democrat publishes an account
Of an interview with man recently at
taehed TO Claib Jackson's Secession
corps. He is native of Missouri, is a
farmer IN times of peace, but was i'm
pressed into the "Secesh" service BY
order of the former Governor of the
State. He was with them at Lexington,
and accompanied them in their keoira
to the Southeast. Il was, he saws. q
most rapid exodus-and many pig
and chicken, OK and horse, owes his safe
ty TO their want Of time to steal him.
Our informant was not present at the
battle Of ,Carthsge--in consequence Of
his friends having no confidence in his
loyalty. He distinctly heard the firing,
and assisted in the running afterward,
until they were safe in the extreme
Southest corner Of Macdonald county,
where he left Jackson and his cohorts.
He says they have large force, scat
tered through the different camps in
that neighborhood; has heard it estims-
ted at $4,000 mer. The rebels are
poorly armed, and badly equipped gen.
orally. Their food consists altogether
in what they steal.
The soldiers receive daily half rations
of bread and double rations OF fresh beef.
The farming cattle in the vicinity are
universally seized.
1t is not the intention Of Jackson to
attack Lyon until some other movement
is made. Ben. McCulloch had left to
Join Bowen, as had most OF their best
armed troops--at least it was so repor-,
ted in his camp. He passed over the
field Of the late battle at Carthage, and
states the stencil to be intolerable from
the decomposition of horse flesh which
fell on that day.
There is no order or discipline in the
rebel army. Gen. Rains is generally
drunk, and Jackson is in constant fear
Of being taken. The Cherokee Indians
are frequent visitors to their camp, but
will not take any part against the Gov
Of the United States. Many
are snxiously awaiting the arrival of
Uncle Sans boys to take leave Of the
rebels, having been impressed into the
service. Most of them declare they
will not 60 out of Missouri to serve the
Southern Confederacy. Altogether, the
rebels are in bad fix, and if aid is not
soon obtained, they will disband from
necessity.

A CAPTURE AND AN 1ECIDEET.-A
curious incident occurred in connection
with the capture Of the Secession prize
Enchantress. As the gunboat Albatross
approached her she "fought shy" and
when hailed replied that she was "From
Newburyport, bound to Santa Cruz"
AT this moment the negro cook appear
ed on the gunwale, caying out as ne
leaped into the sea with uPlIfted hands,
"For Gods sake save me, captain; she's
a Secesher, bound to Charleston A
boat was Immediately lowered to save
the negro and board the brig. On ex-
amining her papers it was found that
her reply to the hail was true, but she
was a prize to the JEFF. Davis, and had
a prize crew on board. Her cargo is
frst-class assorted goods, suitable for
the Union army. The prize crew proved
to be of a variety Of nations. One OF
them was named Riggles, formerly be-
longing to the truck Of Company 2,
New York. The captain had his son on
board. The JEFF. Davis crew behaved
yery badly with their prize, destroying
articles of the cargo which they could
not use. The Enchantress is built upon
a beautiful model. and is probably worth

A REBEL MEssAeE.-That the per
petrators Of a monsirous crime shoulC
not shrink from advancing their ends
by monstrous lying seems fit enough
And yet The public reads, with wonder.
|ing surprise, in the message OF Davi:
ITO bis coniederstes at Richmond, such
statements as this:
mankind will shudder at the outra.
ges committed on defenceless females
by those pretending to be our fellow
citizens"-meaniug the Union soldiers.
A subscriber to the Washington In
.telligencer writes from Sumter county,
Alabsma, begging that his paper may
be sent him, seven il it costs forty dol
lars year" He says, "We have no
information here as to what is going on
outside the Confederate States"
OF course they have not. II they
had, the misstatements of Davis and
Beauregsrd and Stephens would be Of
no avail. The Southern journals which
come to our hands occasionally are
filed with Munchausenish reports OF
the outrages Of our troops. They ex-
haust the records Of crime in inventing
faisehoods with which 10 arouse the de-
luded people Of the South.
General Beauregard, General Wise,
Davis and Stephens-all the ringlead-
ers in this great nsurrection-who may
be supposed to know best the despera-
ton OF their situation, resort continually
to such vile falsehoods as this. 1t is
only in this way that they can gain ad-
berents to their bad cause among a
people who are already suspicious of
them.
There is bitter need that light break
through the southern night. They
have ''darkened the air with lies;" they
have abolished free speech and a free
press. without which free government is

The DEEouEMENr OF AN ELoPE-
MENT.-On the 9th Of July Mrs. Emma
Amelia Scott, the wife Of a rich mer-
chant in New York city, eloped with a
Mr.. Newton st. John, one of the fast
young men that abound in that metrop-
oils. The husband and parents Of the
lady were almost frantic at her disap-
pearance, and New York detectives
were dispatched in pursuit Of the couple.
A few days ago one of the officers ar
rived in St. Louis, since which time the
truants have been arrested. The Re-
publican says that Mrs. Scott, who is
l9 years of age, and remarkably inter-
esting in appearance, was sent to pri-
vate house, where she will remain until
her parents or some officers arrive from
New York. The truant wife had jew
elry to the value of about s 500 and
great quantity of fine clothes in her
trunks. These would probably have
been sacrificed when the money was
spent. She stated that it was useless
to take her back to New York and the
home Of her husband, as, added to the
shame of facing those she had injured,
she loved the man with whom she had
fed, and was determined to live with
him.

The CAPTIvEs,-We learn from the
Wheeling Intelligencer that Major
Leiper. Of the 1st Kentucky Regiment,
has been informed of the removal Of
Colonies Woodruff, De Villiers. and
Neff, together with Captains Hurd and
Austin ,lfrom the town Of Charleston to
the city OF Richmond. Col. Woodruff
was represented to have been effected to
tears from the humiliation of his posi-
ton. Col. De Villiers pronounced
their capture as contrary to all honor
able military rules. They all claim
that they were treacherously ensnared
into the enemy's camp by the enemy
the American flag. They
have been kindly treated by their cap
tors, and complain only of the mode Of
their capture.

HThe splendid victory Of our forces
under the command OF Gen. Mcclellan
at Rich Mountain and the vicinity ofLau'
rel Hill. in Virginia, is fully confirmed
We cannot better state the result oI
that action, than by copying the follow
ing proclamation of Gen. Me sClellan to
his army, as follows:
HEADQUARTERS, Army OF Occu-l
PATTON, WESTERN VIRGINIA.
BEVERLY. VA, July 18th, 1861.
Soldiers Of the Army ofthe Vest:
am more than satisfied with you.-
You have annihilated two armies, COM
manded by educated and experienced
soldiers, entrenched in mountain fast
nesses fortified at their leisure. You
have takeu FIVE guns, twelve colors,
fifteen hundred stand Of arms, one thou
sand prisoners, including more than for
ty oficers-one of the two commanders
Of the rebels is a prisoner, the other lost
his life on the field of battle. You have
killed more than two hundred and fifty
Of the enemy, who have lost all their
baggage and camp equipage. All this
has been accomplished with the loss Of
twenty brave men killed and sixty woun-
ded on your part.
You have proved that Union men,
fighting for the preservation of our
Government, are more than q match
for our misguided and erring brethren;
more than this, you have shown mercy
to the vanquished. You have made
long and arduous marches, often with
insufficient food, frequently exposed to
the inclemency Of the weather. have
not hesitated to demand this of you,
feeling that l could rely on your endu-
rance, patriotism and courage.
In the future, / may have still greater
demands TO make upon you, still greater
for you to offer; il shall be
my care 70 provide for yontp the extent
Of my ability; but I know, Ihat by your
valor and endurance, you will accom-
plish all that is asked.
Soldiers! l have confidence in you,
and l trust you have learned TO confde
in me. Remember that discipline and
subordination are qualities of equal
value and courage.
l am proud to say that you have
gained the highest reward that Ameri-
can troops can receive--the thanks Of
Congress. and the applause of your
fellow citizens.
