Gen. McClellan's Battles.
A BRAVE VOLUNTEER.

At Rich Mountain, Col. F. w. Lander
was one oil the most conspicuous officers in
the field. He was there without command
yet be is man that must command
wherever there is battle. The admiration
of the men for his splendid bearing justifes
recurrence to the part he acted. lie saw
the disposition of the men to fight single.
handed, and comprehending the necessity of
concentration and the display of warlike
skill, he lent his aid to form the troops by
appeals, admonition and vehement impreca.
ton. After bis horse was shot, be leaped
upon the top of rock, presenting his broad
martial form conspicuous mark for the
rifiemen of the enemy but he paid no more
attention to hurting bullets than if they had
been rain. Many have said they constant
ly expected to see him fall. He wore his
battle countenance that day, and it swept
away that sad, Hidalgo.l like soemnity that
nantes his countenance habiIually. But
he displayed none of the trappiDgs of the
soldier, but stood up "natural general" in
rough overcoat with slouched hat, and
breeches stuffed into his boot tops--an ex-
cellent picture for Harriet LOWE. Colonel
Benton, in his official report of the battle
says" Colonel Lander led the leaders into
the fight"
An eye witness at Rich Mountain relates
an instance of GOODNESS in private Chapman,
of Peru, Indiana. A rebel gunner was just
touching of one of the guns; and in the very
act Chapman discovered him, but, instead
of looking out for grape, he drew quick
"sight" on the gunner, and fetched" him
as the grape shot hurled over his head. The
body OF the gunner fell in the stable door,
and was picked up after the battle from the
spot where Chapman laid him.
JUST RETRIBUTIoN.
There was an instance OF just retribution
for treason at Rich Mountain. Hon. j Ohm
HuShes, OF Beverly, member of the Vir-
gina Secession Convention at Richmond,
heard by some means that our troops were
endeavOring to turn the flank Of the rebels.
He mounted horse and sped up the hill
rapidly, to convey the Information TO Col.
Pegram. When near the summit, be was
hailed by pickets. Surprising they were
Fedora pickets, he cried out, "hold, am
Northern man." The next instant be fell
into the road corpse, ridded by thirty
balls. He had lied, and his own friends,
the rebels, whom he was striving to save
believing they were killing an enemy, put
an end to his career.
THE KILLED AND WOUNDED.
The following is a statement oil the num-
Der of killed and wounded, and prisoners
captured on both sides, in the affairs which
have taken place within the last three five
days in Western Virginia, between de-
tached portions of General McCleilan's d.
vision and the rebel force:

Advices from North Missouri, are to the
effect that Sunday morning, body of Col.
Smiths Missouri Zouaves went to Danville
and arrested four men known to have been
engaged in the late hanging of COL Sharpe
and Lieutenant Jaeger, took them to the
outskirts of the town and there shot them.
One of them, Robert Terrell, was lawyer,

Two men concerned in the same outrage
were shot near Mexico, Audrian county, by
company of cavalry under Capt. Smith.
-Four or five others of the same gang es-
capped on horseback. One of those shot

During the last four weeks | have ira
versed Belgium, the Rhine, and consider
able portion OF Middle Germany, including
Franconia and the Upper PalatiDate of
Bavaria. l have sedulously read every
German newspaper | could find, have taken
every opportunity to converse upon the one
Ito me) absorbing topic, and it is with the
most earnest satisfaction now declare, that
| have found but one opinion among all
casses-that the rebellion is utterly afro
clous in its character, and that the Govern
ment must triumph because it has both
might and right on its side. Among 9TH
ers whom l have met, have heard this ex-
preston from the lips of distinguished
reigning prince and l have 20 doubt that
the overwhelming sentiment of the German
people On the subject is expressed therein.
The reactionsts, was informed in Franks
fort, had been jubilant during the winter at
the prospect of dissolution of the Union,
but siuce the recent loyal uprising of our
people they keep quiet. The sympathy for
our Government in Germany, | may re-
mark, is not necessarily given on account
of our form of government On the con-
trary, the Liberals here decidedly prefer a
a constitutional monarchy; but even those
who go so far as to say that we should be
better off by making a change in this d.
rectiOn, do not hesitate an instant in their
denunciatiOn of the rebellion.

The Crops of Minnesota.

We are gratifed to learn from farmers
with whom we have conversed, and from our
country exchanges, that the prospects for a
good crop of wheat have vastly improved
within few weeks. We hear no accounts
ofthe ravages of the army worm and but
little of the blight which was said to prevail
extensively. We copy from the country
press the following items:
The harvest season is drawing rapidly
near. The prospect for the wheat crop is
now pretty well decided, and from what we
can learn it will be as good. if not better,
than that of 1860. Owing to the dry wea.
Their in June, the straw will be very short,
which makes the wheat appear light to the
passer by, but on close examination the
heads are found to be perfect and well filled.
The grain is rapidly maturing and will soon
be beyond the reach of all enemies. The
waving fields through which the summer
breezes roll like the waves that swell the
bosoms OF some placid lake, are gradually
assuming golden tinge, and the fields will
soon be enllvened 10y the merry harvest
scenes. The prospect for corn, oats, barley,
potatoes, NC, are very hattering indeed and
promise an unusually large yield Chatfeid
Democrat.
The continued excellence of the weather
Is bringing various crops TO healthiu! ma
turlty. The prospect now is that the wheat
crop will be at least an average yield
throughout The State.-MinneGpoiss 44tlaS.
HERE is field OF winter wheat, in the
timber few miles above kasota, that good
judges say will yield from 40 to 80 bushels
to the acre. 1t Is said to be one OF the best
fields OF wheat ever raised i'll that section OF
the Stately. Peter Statesman.
We have examined several pieces of
wheat, during this week and fad The rust
has not ct affected the stalk. At present
it is confined to the leaves, but if we should
have much more wet and warm weather, it
will hardly be possible for the stalk Itself to
escape.-Loke Cay Journal.
We this week accompanied our friend
NJ. Starr to bis splendid field OF corn,--the
best we have ever seen, considering the
length OF time it has been planted. This
corn, we are informed by Mr. Starr, was
planted the last Monday in May (27tu)
and at the time we measured it, (Juiy Sth),
had been planted just six weeks, aud it then
measured just SEVEN leet in height. Beat
| this, if you can ID.
From somewhat extended opportunity
OF seeing The crops between Faribault aud
Hastings within a short time we incline to
think that they will average better than
some have unprecedented. We have seen
many good fields OF wheat and some poor
ones.-HaStangs COnsrrer.

Our own dead occupy separate graves on

were carefully laid in common grave, and

THE WOUNDED.
Our own and the rebel wounded lay
strOwn together in blankets on the floors of
Harris house. Every available space was
covered with their cOuvulsive and culver
ing bodies. Down under the porch there
was another line of wounded. There was
no difference in the treatment of the suffer
ers. The severely wounded of the enemy
were attended to before the slightly injured
of our own army. Most of them suffered
in silence, few slept soundly, but some
mOaned with intense agony.
One poor fellow, an Indianian, shot
through the side of his head, who could
even yet stand on his feet with assistance,
suffered excruciating agony. II he survives
it will be almost miraculous. Now and
then wounded rebel would stare sullenly
at our people, but the majority appeared
gratefully surprised at the kindness with
which they were treated. Indeed every.
thing possible was done to mitigate their
sutierings. l shall not attempt to depict
the CHASTITY pictures of horrid wounds and
shuddering forms of poor victims, to whom
it would have been mercful if they could
have died. but who lay on the cold, cold
ground, quivering with agony, with no
chance to survive, and yet could not exc
out last suffering gasp.

Tmportant ACTION of Gen, Price,

We learned yesterday from sources of uu-
doubted reliability, that after the surrender
of Col. Mulligan, Gen. Price proceeded to
organize his immense force upon an infantry
basis, sending off the large number of hor-
ses attached to his camp, and roserving out
of the whole but four regiments of cavalry.
This proceeding means at least two
things, viz: that the rebel General intends
to deprive his men of the opportunity Of
scattering or going homo il they got tired
of campaigning; and that he is determined
to give Gen. Fremont fair, stand up fight
whenever the occasion offers.
This intelligence, we are sure, will meet
the hearty appreciation of Gen. Fremont
aud the brave soldiers under him. A reg
ular stand up, open field fight, is just wha
they wants.. Louis Democrat, 2sh.
