ST. LOUIS, Nov. 9,-Gen. Grant telegraphs
from Cairo to headquarters here that our vic
tory was complete.
We captured $50 prisoners, and all the rebels
artillery, but were obliged to leave part of the
guns behind for want of horses to haul them
Some of the prisoners report that large force
was preparing to start to reinforce Price, but
our attack will no doubt prevent it.
Our loss was about $50; about one-half killed
and mortally wounded
CAIRO, ILL.,, Nov. 8.-All accounts concur in
placing the loss of the enemy, at Belmont,very
much heavier than ours.
Col. Cook s regiment and portion of the
2Sth, which marched from Fort Holt to within
six miles OF Columbus, returned at one O'Clock
last night.
An expedition, which left Paducah for Col
umbus, has also returned.
There is no reliable news from Col. Oglesby's
command.
| 1t is rumored that he encountered Thomn.
sons force, killing 800 and losing 50.
A man who escaped from jeff. s two DAYS
ago reports that he has 2,10O infantry and 600
cavalry.
Belmont is abandoned.
| The rebels have about $50 prisoners They
acknowledge $50 killed, but would not permit
the Federals to visit the place to which they
conveyed their dead.
dead rebels Were observed all over the field
in piles of from three to four.
Eighty-five of our dead were buried by our
people,
Eight or ten had been buried by the rebels in
mistake for their men.
Capt Brooks, of Buford's regiment, found a
brother dead on the battlefield. He was a sur
geon in the rebel army
1t IS impossible yet to obtain anything like
an accurate report of the numbar killed, wound
ed, and missing in the engagement at Belmont.
| No cannon were lost
The rear portion of two caissons had TO be
left behind. They are compensated for by the
capture of two guns.
| One is twelve FOUNDER, and the other the
six-pounder Lee, manufactured by John Clark,
OF New Orleans beautiful piece
Both belonged to EWatson's New Orleans
| Battery.
! letter was found written by one of the Off
GERS, Col Dan, declaring that Wilson's BatterE
was the best company in Johnston's army.
One hundred and thirty-four prisoners are
captured, about thirty of whom, the sick and
exchanged.

simmons New EsIOck.-The walls of this
new block are about up and ready to receive the
roof. The exterior can now be seen i'll its proper
tions. The architectural design is highly pleasing,
and it will be altogether one of the most attractive
buildings in the city. The entire second story OF
the block is designed for public Hall, and will
prove great acquisition TO the place. When Odd
Fellows Hall destroyed by fire, year ago
last spring, it was feared that many years would
elapse before another public Hall equally spacious
and attractive would supply its place; for the
son that expensive public Halls do not ordinarily
pay well on the investment. Mr.. Simmons, with
public spirit worthy of commentator, will soon
have completed public Hall, surprising what
Odd Fellows Hall was, in point of size, architec-
tural beauty and convenience Of access.
If the interior of this new Hall shall be arranged,
as we presume it will be- according to the most ap
proved designs of public audience rooms of this
kind, it will justly be Of pride and graft
fcation to our citizens. There are general rules
which are as mEch to be observed in the eonstruc-
ton of modern Halls, as in the matter Of public
school houses churches, &c. A Mistake in the
arrangement of the seating the position of the plat.
form or stage, and other fixtures, will spoil tie
reputation of any Hall, however costly or attrac.
tractive We take it for granted, thAt Simmons
new Hall, will be arranged after the most approx
ed models.

This beautiful and useful art is much neglected
in our schools. Very few teachers have given
sufficient attention to this branch of education tc
properly teach it.
We have had the pleasure quite recently OF at
tending one of Mr.. Ephm.N Hills Writing Schools
at the Brick School House, Pleasant Prairie anc
of observing his system of teaching somewhat
infinitely We cheertully give it the preference
over any with which we have ever been familiar
Without particularlizing, we will say that any
scholar, who may come under Mr.. Hills instruc
TONS with ordinary diligence cannot fail of becom
ing good penman, and as Mr.. Hill thinks ofhav
ing several schools in this vicinity, we wonld ear
nestly recommend all those who can possibly dc
SO, to attend his schools and in our opinion al
who may fail to Go 50 will miss ara1e opportunity
such as may never occur again.

Southwest Missouri.

RoLLA, Mo-, Nov. 11.-All our sick and
wounded in Springfield able to be around, were
to leave there last Saturday fol St. Louis, and
orders have been given TO have the rest start
as soon as they are able.
Price had fallen back miles from Cassville
near the State Line and was moving South. It
was believed to be reliably ascertained that his
policy was to lead our army on, but not to fight
it, but simply to keep large force there, SO as
to draw troops from the Mississippi valley. The
general belief in his camp was that st. Louis
would soou be in the hands of the rebels, who
would % up from Columbus, Ky.
There had been good deal of trouble about
slaves escaping into Lanes and other Camps,
and Gen Hunter had given permission to own
ers TO search our Camps and reclaim them if
they could find them.
The missing members of Fremont's body
guard have returned to Springfield from Cass-
Vile They report Prices force to be about &c.
600 strong, with 80 pieces of artillery II pieces
of which had recently been received from Men,
phis, whence other supplies had been received.

Kenosha County Agricultural Society

Kemosha County Agricultural Society.
We pu blish this week the Notice of the Annual
Meeting Of the Kenosha Co. Agricultural Society
for the election of officers and the transaction of
other business. There should be full attendance
of all the members of the Society at this Meeting.
We presume the initatory steps will be taken for
the removal Of the Societys Grounds, to some
point on the line Of the Railroad. We think our
farmers and mechanics should take hold of this
matter anew with the determination to make the
Society by the time for the next Fair what it should
be. Now is the time to commence to do this
And one thing should be borne in mind-the sue
cess ofthe Society depends il great measure up
on the individual effort OF every member 1t is
unjust to throw the entire responsibility upon
few active members and hold them alone, to blame
for failure that is occasiOned by remissness, care
lessness or neglect of hundreds of members. 1t
makes but little difference who are elected officers
unless the officers are seconded in their efforts for
the good of the Society by the members. We be-
lieve it may be made the source ofgreat benefit to
all concerned, but every member must take hold
and help make it such. No three or four members,
nor the officers, unassisted can make it what it
should be.

At the price that Mr.. Brown sells Kerosene and

hospitality and patience of the people of the house
Our contributor also alluded to this as one reason
why the Fair Grounds were not removed, that they
were kept there for the benefit of a dead tavern
The proprietor OF that establishment assures ue
that he is as anxious for the removal of the Fair
Grounds, and will do as much tor that object Is
any other man.

not get through it, when full grown

Nell has, ALSO while Ia Kansas, taken sketches OF
"Lanes Brigade" the kansas Jayhawkers, "
comprising the Regiments of Coils. Jennison and
Montgomery with portraits of all these distinguish
ed commanders,
The latter are especially interesting, particular
ly since the 'Jay Hawkers" of Kansas have won
such terrible and worldwide fame, and whose
deeds of daring and heroism have stricken the
rebels and enemies of our country with deadly
fear and spread CONSERVATION in their ranks wher
ever they have appeared.
MI O'Neill has taken the greatest possible pains
to make these views lifelike and correct in every
respect, and he feels confident they will give salts
faction TO the people of Kenosha, where he will
first stop, previous to making tour through the
Northern States.
The people of the North take an abiding interest
in this unhappy and unnatural fraricidal conflict,
Therefore should they encourage the endeavors of
one who has sacriised much and endured the hard
ships of the camp and field facing danger in many
shapes, that he might benefit his country and her
people, well exhibit to the world the skill and
genius of an Artist, whose aim it has been to show
up to the very life chief scenes, and localities as
also the participants inho greatest rebellion that
has ever occurred 10 the 'Ftide Of time" -"
