WINCHESTER OCCUPIED.
Winchester, March L.

This place is at length recovered for
the Union. The march of our forces to
Berryville and reconnaissance to this vi
entity succeeded in misleading the enemy
SO that they did not know where to expect
an attack. Yesterday p. m. they com
mencsd evacuating the place. General
Hamilton meanwhile advanced from Bun
ker Hill, the Michigan cavalry leading.
Twelve hundred of the enemy's cavalry
gave battle, supported by section of ar
tillery. This was about five yesterday p.
m. A battalion of the LIST Maryland reg
inrent reinforced our cavalry, and one of
our sections of artillery came up and re-
piled to the enemy's guns. The fight was
soon over; the enemy fed, leaving their
two guns, several horses and about thirty
men killed add wounded Our whole loss
was four killed and fifteen wounded all

commenced evacuating the place about
sunset last night. The cavalry were the
last TO leave. They departed just before

that there is large Secession force al

stand there. Owing to the state of af.
fairs at Manassas it is believed that Gen.
jackson will make his way up the Shen.

Hannibal, No., March LIST 1862.
EDITOR GATE CRY - Since my last
communication TO you from Bentonsport
| have made a few trips from that place
to Memphis. Mo-, with provisions.
On or about the 28th day Of January
1869 we took up our march from Mem.
phis, Mo-, bound for Canton, Mo-, in
order to effect consolidation of the two
parts of regiments, commanded respect
lively by Col. d. Moore and Col. Wood
yard, making, when consolidated. the
2fst Regiment of Missouri Volunteers
Now in imagination this would be but .
small matter, but in reality quite hercu-
lean task. But the work is done and SO
far all seems to work we'll. Col. D. Moore
commands, woodward is Lieut.. Col, and
B. B. King, Major.
We are now an infantry regiment, our
mounted men oil have been dismounted,
aud our artillcrists are drilled as infantry.
Although we still have six pieces of ar
tillery including one brass six.pounder,
from Iowa, and one iron gun from Farm
ington, Iowa. we have not disgraced them
yet and will likely keep them while we
remain in N E. Mo-, but should we be
ordered South we will likely return them.
Many Of our mounted men did not like to
give up their horses. But love Of re-
publican government and obedience to
order wifi d almost anything. Cur hopes
now for distinction must be in some great
battle like that ut Fort Donelson where
the Iowa End and 18th SO nobly sustained
the character Of our State. Many of on,
men arc anxious to go South Immediately
SO as to become active participants in the
great struggle now going on. And should
it become necessary again to 60 to bush

FROM WARRINGTON.


The Times' Washington special of the
18th, says our scouts have arrested some
rebel bridge burners caught in the very
act near Manassas. Refugees say the reb-
els had NO very heavy guns mounted in
earth works at Centreyille. The forts
all commanded the approaches from Wash
iDgton. There were none to prevent our
forces ON their flank. Ten days ago the
rebels Ind 10000 troops there The rear
guard did not leave until Monday. Five
caissons. Eve hundred barrels of -four,
several hundred barrels Of molasses were
found to-day all damaged
The Tribune's special says it is now es-
tablished that the rebel army has gone to
Gordonsville junction. ninety three miles
from the Potomac and fifty-nine from Ma
nassas. Our scouts have penetrated as
far as Cuspepper Cour. House. The
country around Gordonsville is reported
to he we'll adapted for defense, aud the
railroad connections vastly more important
than those at Manassas.
Evidence before the Committee on the
Conduct of the War to-day, shows tina.
the whole rebel army opposite was less
than 30, 000-l 900 at CentreyiIle and
10, 900 at Manassas.
The Committee of Investigation at St.
Louis has finished its sitting. The ap-
gregate amount OF claims passed on was
upwards Of ten millions. The amount
was much reduced.

sword AZ the only arbitrament Of our
troubles. The only issue rendered the
North is the sword, and thank God there
is enough manhood in the North to ac-
cept the issue. Let the consequencesfa fall,
and fall heavily, on the guilty heads Of
the conspirators, until they give us evil
dencs of their repentance and desire to
return to their allegiance.
We thought then that the traitors
would be satisfied with no terms but s'the
destruction of the Union" and we re-
joiced when they struck blow calculated
to unite the loyal people Of the North for
the overthrow of traitors and the preser-
walton of the Union. Such was our opin-
ion then, and such it is still, and only
mean.spirited knaves would misrepresent
or cayil ut it.
Bsanrsgard ~ Columbus.
The Pittsburgh Chronicle learns from a
Pittsburgher, who was at Columbus after
the taking of Donelson, that Beaurcgard,
ON his arrival in Columbus, mounted
horse and rode around for two hours, care
fully surveying the natural and artificial
defences Of the place, and his report was,
in short:-"You must evacuate. You
have wonderful amount Of guns here,
but no casemates. You couldn't hold the
place two hours, and as for that trap down
yonder,' pointing to the water battery
placed on the level of the Mississippi and
its posterior fat, elisa perfect slaughter
pen. Every gunner there would be killed
in fifteen minutes" This Pittsburgher
states that there was terrible panic there
when he left. He saw the whole battle
Of Belmont from the Secesh side, and says
since that fight they have very whole
some dread Of Northern GOODNESS and cour-
age.
