tAA REPORTED BATTLE IN MISSOURI
According TO the accounts published IN he
NoF'herh papers, the battle at Bonneville,
Mo., resulted quite differently from what has
been represented here. As the telegraph is
completely under abolition control in St.
Louis, we yet have hopes that Lyon WAS de-
feated, and we await further advices with
anxiety:

New Greek. twenty three miles West OF Cum
berland, early this morning, and marched to
Piedmont, five miles further West which
place they now hold. The telegraph wires
East o. Piedmont were cut by them
Their number is variously estimated st from
two 10 four thousand. Notice was given OF
their approach to the town, and the citizens
were preparing to leave when our informant

more and Ohio Railroad Company were fired
up and sent West to Grafton.

slonIsts Iii Western Virginia have been largely
