Startling News.

The REBELS GAIN GREAT vIcToTY IN MISSOURI
The Norfolk Day Book of the 10th inst, has
the following startling announcement, largely
headed:
NV ORLEANS, Nov. ls, lssl-We have it in
our power again to spread the glad tidings be-
fore the Southern people of another glorious
confederate victory.
The opposing armies have met in the vicinity
Of Springfield, the stronghold of the Federal
forces, and Generals Price and McCulloch have
whipped the enemy and are driving them from
Missouri.
The True Delta of to day, has just received a
special despatch from Memphis, saying that the
Memphis Appeal OF to-day publishes an extra Of
an account Of glorious victory of our troops.
The news was brought to Memphis by General
Prices messenger, who is on his way to Richmond
with dispatches to President Davis. 1t tells US
that battle had taken place near Sprinefie d,
Missouri, in which the Confederate forces we're
victorious over vastly superior force, including
Fremont's body guard. The Federal loss in kill.
ed and wounded was very heavy. This affair
probably refers to the dash of Fremont's body
guard through Springfield.
Generals Price and McCulloch express them
selves perfectly confident Of being able to drive
the enemy out of Missouri entirely.

GENERAL HALLEcK's INAuGURAL-Gen. Hal
leck has inaugurated his administration in Mis-.
souri,, by an act Indicative of calibre which
does not promise any great execution in the De-
partment of the Mississippi. He had not the cour.
age to face the popular consequences of revers.
ing Frem0nt's policy towards the slaves of rebels.
aud Of instituting the virtual protection Of such
slaves, 60 he ISLANDERS the slaves, calls them
spies, and orders them rigidly excluded from
our camps 1t is regarded as considerably mear-
er to steal from negro than from white man.
II is proportionately meaner to Islander negro
Gen. Halleck may have right to drive negroes
into the ranks of the enemy, that is, If militia
~ officer has the right to drive his allies into
the ranks OF the enemy and contribute to his
own defeat; but he should do it like man, and
no: attempt to sneak out of the popular effect
by silly SANDER on the hapless negroes
Gen. Haleck, Of course, does not expect any
body to believe that story. Negroes arc gov
erned BY motives the same as those Of fairer
complexion. We can safely rely on any class of
beings being governed by their interest. The
fugitive slaves look upon our armies as their
friends until the contrary conviction is forced
upon them by our hostility. The idea Of their
being spies Is contrary to nature Gen. Hal
leck invented the theory as dodge. In his
moral weakness he is driven to Islander upon
negroes, as al. excuse for his weak military Dol.
