Another attack ON Bloomfield

Capt. HYDE of the First Wis Cav. is max
ing his mark in this war. We have published
an account of his brave and successful defence
of his Post, Bloomfield Mo-, against greatly
superior numbers, for whole week, and now
it seems he has been again attacked and again
has repulSed the attack.
The st. Louis Democrat of the 25th uls., has
the following in reference TO this last attack.
Gen. Davidson on Saturday received an off y
cial report confirming the already published
statement of an engagement at Bloomfield. in
Stoddard county, on the 10th inst. The guer>
rillas were six hundred strong, and began the
attack at 3 A. NJ, expecting to surprise the
post. The garrison consisted of but one huns
dred and ten men of the 1st Wisconsin Caval-
ny, under Capt. Hyde. The assailants we've
speedily and disastrously repulsed, with slight
loss to the defending party. The conduct OF
Capt. Hyde is in striking contrast with the
miserable cowardice exhibited by Buell.. Mason
and other commanders in similar but even bet>
ter circumstances

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Aug. 30, 1860.
EDITORS TELEGRAPH Gen.
Brown, who has been in command of Southwest
Division, Mo, for the last three or four months,
has been superseded by Gen. Totten, of the Regu-
lars. He was ordered to Little Rock, Ark, when
the rebellion first broke out, but had to skedaddle
from that place, for the want of men to defend it,
He took prominent part in the battle of Wilson,
Creek and has been in numerous fights since He is
a truly loyal man, and his mOvements,1 think will
strkingly contrast with those of Gen. Brown.

The correspondent of the Philadelphia Press

their front being at the farthest point of the old
field. They hold their old riAe-pits, and they
are bold and impudent.
"Our army was reinforced at noon to-day by
at least 10000 of the most effective men in the
field, including Gems Franklin's, Summers,
Porters, Richardson's Sedgewick's and Cox g
divisions, the veterans from Western Virginia,
together with Gen Sturges new division Of
Pennsylvania regiments, new levies.
Eight hundred prisoners have been sent
forward from this point (Centreville) to Alex

Gen. Taylor's New Jersy brigade have not
been in this fight. Several hundred of his

"A very intelligent prisoner. a commissioned
officer, told me that StOuewall jackson made
an address to his army day before yesterday
in which he urged his men to stand firm and
fight to the last for if they were beaten, then
all their hopes for the Southern Confederacy
would be lost. This man also reports that in

THE ONLY CONSTITUTIONAL PARTY .-Thera
is great effort making just now by the parti-
Fan Democratic Press, and politicians TO prove
that the Democratic Partyi~ the only cOnStitu-
tionat party the people are appealed to, to let
the country go-to turn their attention from
ton of the Democratic Party, because it is the
only constitutional party. The people are urg.
ed, in season and out of season, to refuse to
sustain the present administration, because it
is not democratic, and therefore not consti-
tutional administration. The Milwaukee Meas
is the chief organ ofthis Sefstyled constitutions
at party in this State. The loyal people of this
country have not so soon forgotten, that it was
this same sef-styled constitutional party that
commenced this wicked rebellion that Jeff.
Davis, Floyd, Breckinridge, Mason, Slidel
Yailandigham and thousand others, traitors
in arms, or spirit against the constitution the
Union and the country, were all shining lights
in this samesef styled only constitutional party
The people have not only not forgotten these
things, but they have not forgotten that all
throughout the last Presidential contest these
same editors of the Milwaukee Ne,es declare
over and over, that if Abraham Lincoln was
elected President, the Union would be dissolv-
ed, and that the south would be justified in dis
solving the Union, Secession was then, and
S still, an acknowledged principle of this same
only constitutional party. The people have
not forgotten if the editors of the Milwaukee
Aeos have, that only two years ago, they in
common with hundreds of other Democratic
editors were writing long and ponderous lead
ers to prove that the slave States not only had
the right to break up the Union and DESTROY
me government but that they would be iusti-
ne1 IN doing 1t, If Abraham Lincoln was elect
ed.
This whole wicked, cursed rebellion is simplv
carrying out to its legitimate result, this
claim of the Ne,cS that the Democratic party
is the only Constitutional Party! The leaders
of this rebellion made the same claim. of he.
longing to the only constitutional party, and the
editors OF the NetcS have said frequently. that
the election of Republican President was the
cause Of the war. The shareholders belieycd
what Northern doughfaces merely used as cleo
lioneering clap-trap phrases-that the Demo
cratic Party was the Outy constitutional party

Kun OM Friday.
HEADQUARTERS FIELD OF BATTLE,
GBAvEToN, Near Gainesville, August 80.


GBAvEToE, Near Gainesville August 30 :
To MAJ. Gen. Haleck, General in Chief:
We fought terrific battle here yesterday
with the combined forces of the enemy, which
lasted, with continuous fury, from daylight un
till after dark, by which time the enemy was
driven from the field, which we now occupy.
Our troops are too much exhausted to pu sh
matters, but l shall do so in the course Of the
morning, as soon as Fitz John Porter's comes
up from Manassas
The enemy is still i'll our front, but badly
used up. We have lost not less than 5000
men in killed and wounded, and from the an
pearance of the field, the enemy has lost a,
least two to our one. He stood strictly on the
defensive, and every assault was made by our.
selves.
Our troops behaved splendilly.
The battle was fought on the identical bat,
tlefeld of Bull Run, which greatly increased
the enthusiasm of our men.
The news Just reaches me from the front tina;
the enemy is retreating towards the mountains
| go forward at once to see.
We have made great captures, but am not
yet able to form an idea of their extent
