The news of the past week are Of more
exciting character than We have had Tor
some time past. Banks attacked Jackson,
on Saturday last, at Calpepper Court House
in Virginia. and being reinforced by Pope.
succeeded IN driving the rebels back and
occupying their position, with considerable
loss on both sides, while Jackson was obi
ged to retreat. News from rebel sources
state that Baton Rouge has been recaptured
by the rebels, who are also making demon
stration towards New Orleans, bat Butler
viii no doubt hold the city, as reinforce
ments have been sent him.
Gen. Carter is reported TO have been de-
feated by the rebel Gen. Rains. There is
much allowance to be made in these reports.
On the other hand our troops are rapidly
concentrating. and Pope will not lay idle.
He will strike some v here soon and will hurt
too. The latest reports from Culpepper
make our loss very small, while the rebel
loss is reported at over 1900 by their own
papers.
Independence, Mo-. was captured by .
guerrilla force on the 9th. but they skedad-
died and our troops now occupy the place.
There are reports Of another Morgan raid
in Kentucky, but Indiana is on the watch
for any such demonstration. and We have
plenty of troops in readiness to march 10
meet the guerrillas.
Drafting is expected to commence about
the 18th inst, but it is thought that the
time will be extended until the 1st of Sep,
