kansas-The Pursuit. Given Up.
GRANVILLE, Mo-, August 26.-Since the
battle at Lone Jack, Gen. Blunt, with for
midable force, has been pursuing the combined
rebel bands under Coffee and Quantril. Ii
was expected they would form junction
with Rains up at Greenfield, and offer him
battle.
All hoped such would be the case, for Cen.
Blunt had sufficient force to dispel any feel
ings of alarm to the result being other
than victory for the National arms. The
guerriilas would also have had almost their
entire strength in the engagement. With
their defeat and dispersion would virtually end
the guerrilla rails in Missouri. But the rebel
Rains was not at Greenfield, and the bands of
Coffee and Quantril fed into Arkansas, which
alone promised safe.y, and that was gained as
speedily as possible.
General Blunt, having found further pur-
suit useless, has sent his artillery and cavalry
to Fort Scott. His infantry yet remains ia
the vicinity.
