attacked Capt. Birch's command Of rs
Federals, ut Ozark. Capt. Birch having
been appraised Of the attack, fred and
abandoned his tents and withdrew into
the brush, soon after which the enemy
rode into the burning camp and called
upon our men TO surrender. Birch re-
piled with volley Of musket balls, and
emptied several saddles, when the rebels
broke and run, losing most of their arms
and portfolio containing muster rolls
and correspondence. The enemy had two
killed and several wounded. After they
had retreatsd DO miles from Forsyth, on

light on the morning Of the 4th and killed
10 of them. wounded and captured Is
horses, 20 guns. most of the clothing and
saddles of the men, with 600 letters and
original authority from the War Depart

san rangers for service in Missouri, Kan

get footing, in the State. but the activity
Of our tfoo 50 far has prevented it
The citizens are being rapidly enrolled in
the State militia. Thirty-fivs companies
already have been organized, fifteen of
which have been armed and are now
chasing guerrillas and assisting our troops
to maintain quiet. There is an excited
state Of feeling, and death to guerrillas
is the motto. The time for resort to law
or waiting for Government troops has
gone by, and loyal citizens are determined
to take the matter in their own hands and
rid the country Of marauders and guer-
rillas.

A voice from ohio.

We commend the following extract
from the patriotic speech of Gov. Denni-
son, Of Ohio, at war meeting at Cleve-
land on the oath instant. to the attention
OF our readers. His words were ftly spo-
ken and have the ring Of genuine metal:
The question has been asked, why not
compromise? What compromise with
treason and rebellionY God forbid -
When man compromises with wrong he
becomes wrong doer. When you com
promise with treason you become traitors.
Cheers. We viii never compromise,
but We will fight for century, il need be,
We will desolate the fields Of the South
and lay their cities in ashes. rather than
compromise. Immense cheering We
have been asked why not be kind to our
errlng brethren. They have forgotten
that they ever we're our brethren, and We
will forget it. If We can do it no othe,
way we will annihilate them. ICheers. /
There is no middle ground. We must
subjugate or be subjugated. We wan,
peace, but when it comes we do not wan
temporizing peace, but peace forever
The only terms on which peace can be hat
Is the recognition by the people of ever,

A civilian, captured at Front Royal
some time since, and formerly employed
in the House of Representatives here,
reached Washington to-day via Freder-
icksburg, having left Richmond on Fri
day last, where he has been about the city
on parole for one or two weeks. He is
not able to communicate much because of
his parole, but declares that Richmond has
not been evacuated, and that there has
been no signs of pestilence there, though
there is vast amount of sickness. The
rebel army lies east of the city, and he is
confident from what he has learned, that
its effectiveness has been greatly exag-

Infamous leader in bis paper of Friday,
indicating that he still ut times regards
the present strife as mere political quar-
rel between the Republicans and Demo
Gratis, North and South. In this view he
seeks to make capital against the Repub-
licsn Administration by the most un,
founded charges and the most unwarrant-
ed perversions of the facts Of history
In the article alluded to, he draws a
parallel between the present rebellion and
the revolution He compares the conduct
of our Government towards the Southern
Rebels, and charges that it follows in the
footsteps of George the Third, while the
Rebels of the South initiate the noble ex-
ample Of our Revolutionary forefathers
Our Government in his view has been as
unjust, tyrannical and unreasonable to-
wards the South as the Government of
Great britain was towards the American
colonies Our Government is as bad az
the British tyranny of George the Third,
the Rebel cause as righteous and the Reb-
Ell leaders as pure champions of justice
and Liberty as our Revolutionary fore.
