"Qute n spirited little affair occurred in
Missouri, near the Arkansas line, north of
Marion county in this State. AT place
called lawrence Mill, the abolitionists had
hull. n fort and had n force of about 1000
men. Two hundred Of these were regular
troops and the remainder Gamble s malltia-
mcn. The latter often came down into
Arkansas in bands, robbing and piunder-
lug, adding murder and rape occasionally.
The handful Of citizens who alto uptcd to
resist them, often succeeded in killing some
of them, and. when these bandits returned
with their plumber, they would publish
flaming accounts of victories over large
forces of rebels. Coils Burbage and Green,
determined to put n stop to this work, and
n week az two since moved up TO attack the
fort with part of two regiments. Soon
after the attack was made, Gamble war
riors threw their guns in the mill pond and
acd. The regulars soon surrendered, and
our forces took possession of the fort. The
Cenfederates took over 2t0 prisoners, 800
guns and sabres, 800 horses, two cannon, u
quantity of ammunition, coffee, salt, and
other stores, with wagons enough to haul
the captured goods in TO le!lville. The
horses and some other property had beeh
stolen by these thieves ami will be restored
to their owners. Iiuuah for Burbage =

The report that Galveston has fallen
leaves wrong impression on the public
mind, especially when the geography of
this region is not understood, Galveston Is

miles from the main land and thirty miles
ia length, and from one TO three miles wide.
Across the eas ern end of the island is the

the Point or extreme eastern end Around
this point is the channel to the harbor,
which lies north of the city. Within this
llarbor, and abreast of the city lie the Fed
eral vessels with their guns double sholtcd
pointing at the elown. This is all The pos.
session they have got of it. They have
made no permanent landing and really TO-
day have no more possession of the city
than have our forces.
Five miles west of the town is thc'rail-
road bridge connecting the island with the
main land We hold the bridge, with bat
teiics on both Sides and are in full possess
sion of the island itself. Oar forces at the
bridge are in command of Col. Cook, an

pear to be disaflectcd and send them within

The market has reacted slightly this week
owing to the report of large invoices to ar
rive in q few weeks. Prices are a shade
lower than they we're, as the capacity ot
the interior tradeis not yet fully developed.
Cotton is still enquired after with much
activity, but il is thought that the staple
has reached its highest figure, unless sone
exiravagant advance takes place in Europa;
Cotton goods are on the advance, heavy
Domestics selling as high as 3Ic. per yard.
Shoes are on the decline, owing TO the pros
pect Of heavy importations. Coffee, Sugar
and Tobacco are on the rise here as Ihe1
are everywhere else. Cotton Cards are on
the-decline, as the market threatens 10 be
