A prisoner who escaped from the rebel
camp at Humansville last Saturday, reports
that when the news of Gen. Pope's cavalry
having driven in Gen. Rains pickets at
Johnstown was received by Prices army,
the greatest CONSERVATION prevailed in the
rebel camp. Cavalry, artillery, infantry
and the ragged, unarmed recruits were
mixed up in inextricable confusion, and
many hours escaped before anything like
order was restored.
The retreat of the whole army com
menced as soon afterwards as possible, and
so fearful were they of pursuit that they
burned bridges and placed every obstruc-
ton in the way Of the fancied pursuit
Even the celebrated bridge built by Gen
Fremont across the Usage, at Warsaw, was
not spared by the flying rebels.
Itis reported that one regiment was left
on the Usage as rear guard, and that sew
eral small bodies are scattered through the
counties about Warrensburg, collecting
supplies.
A cavalry force has been out in pursuit
of them, but our horses are so worn and
weary by other long forced marches, thai
there is little prospect Of capturing these
rebel bands.
The last report from Price is. that be
passed through Springfield en- route tc
Arkansas, and it is pretty certain that he
will not attempt TO return this winter.

The Richmond Examiner, of Tuesday,
greatly fears that the U. S. will surrender
Mason and Sidell to the British author
tiles
1t adds, the United States will submit
to shame yet unseconded in the annals Of
the history Of any nation. Rather than
1istusb their Internal purpose to grind into
the earth the liberties Of the South, by the
object submission, demanded, the United
States may arrest only for a while war
with Great Britain.
The Examiner says that feet is now
the most exigent desideratum with the
South, and censurcs the confederate gov
eminent, and the officers Of the confederate
Navy, for their singular turpitude in all
matters pertaining TO ships, durinc the

St. Louis. Dec. n.


Within the past two weeks, the Union
Army has captured $500 rebels, including
about 70 commissioned officers, 1920
horses and mules, LOO stand of arms,
two tons of powder, 100 wagons, an Inn
mense amount Of comnissary stores and
camp equippage; large foundry at Lex
ington, used Jy the rebels for casting can
non, shot and shell. destroyed; most Of the
rebel craft in Missouri, including ferry boats
have been destroyed OF captured; a pretty
clean sweep has been made OF the whole
country between Missouri and Usage Riy-
ers, and Gen. Price. cut off from all sup
plies AID recruits from North Missouri, is
in full retreat for the Arkansas border, with
his whole army, having passed through
Springfield on Monday last. Our loss in
accomplishing these important results, has
not exceeded 100 killed and wounded.
These are the fruits of brilliant and stray
etical combinations of Gen. Halleck. which
have been SO ably executed by Generals
Pope, Prentiss and Mexican; Colonies jeff.
G., Davis, of Fort Sumter fame, Fred Steele,
Of the Eleventh Regular Infantry, and
brave officers and soldiers Of our Army,
Regulars and volunteers. Gen. Prices
emissaries, 10 stir up rebellion in North
Missouri, and simultaneously burn all rail
road bridges, stations, rolling stock. DC,
on the goth inst, in accordance with plans
promulgated from the rebel camp, have
been frustrated to great extent in their
plans, 10y the energy Of Gen. Halleck and
the activity Of our forces, which are kept in
constant motion, notwithstanding the sever
lily of the weather.
The damage done the North Missouri
and Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroads
has been much exaggerated, and repairs
are rapidly being made, and both tho North
Missouri Road and telegraph wires will be
in working order to Wellesville to night.
Ten bridge burners have already been
shot and fifty are in close confinement to
be summarily dealt with, under Gen. Hal
leck's stringent orders, in few days.
1t is confidentially expected that our
moving columns will as efectually break
up bridge burning in North Missouri as the
rebellion has been crushed south OF the
river Ne mercy will be shown the scoun-
drels.
Gen. Halleck's emphatic orders with ref
erence to all bridge burners are to shoot
down every one making the attempt.

re- The speech of Mr. Conway, Of
Kansas, made in the House on Thursday
week, is thus spoken Of by a correspon-
don't:
"The speech of MFR. Conway was heard
with unusual interest. The incompati5ility
between slavery and good government was
never more cleary exposed or more sharply
defined. According to him slavery must
cease to exist before we can hope for
permanent peace. These views are the
more important, because Conway is a
Baltimorean by birth. who has kept up
