From the Atlantic Monthly
The Battle Autumn of 1862.



The flags of war like storm-birds fly,
The charging trumpets blows
Yet rolls no thunder in the sky,
No earthquake strives below.
And, calm and patient, Nature keeps
Her ancient promise well,
Tho DER her bloom and grcenness sweeps
The battles breath of hell.
And still she walks in golden hours
Through haryest-happy farms,
And still she wears her fruits and flowers
Like jewels on her arms.
" NAT ,nsaua the r.lo,Inosa of the plain.
This JOY Of eve and morn,
The mirth that shakes the beard Of grain
And yellow locks Of corn'
All! eyes may well be full Of tears,
And hearts with hate are hot;
But eyen-paced come round the years.
And nature changes not.
She meets with smiles our bitter grief,
With songs our gr0ans of pain;
She mocks with tint of flower and Leaf
The war fields crimson stain.
Still in the cannou's pause, we hear
Her sweet thanksgiving psalm;
Too near to God for doubt or fear

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 22.-The expedition
under Col. Burris has been in pursuit of
QuantrelPs guerrilla bands since their raid in
Oleotho. For fourteen days our forces have
been in hot pursuit of Quantrel through
jackson, Cass, johnson, and Lafayette coun-
ties, unable to bring on an engagement other
than an occasional picket skirmish, until the
9th, when about 800 of our cavalry came up
with the enemy five miles north of Pleaston
Hill.
A brisk fire was kept up for about ten min
utes, when the enemy broke and fled in con-
fusion, leaving two dead on the field. We
pursued them two miles, when they entered
the woods, scattering in all directions. We
captured all the enemy's transportation and
subsistence, 100 stand of arms, 10000 rounds
Of ammunition, 100 horses, five wagons, a
number Of tents and other camp equipage {;
also considerable quantity of dry goods,
groceries, &C., previously stolen from the
citizens of Oleotho. The houses, outbuild-
ings, grain, &C., belonging to some twelve
noted marauders, whose premises had been
the favorite haunts of the guerrillas, were
burned.

CAPE RACE, Sept. 22.-The Nova Scotiar

the 18th, arrived off this point at 5 p NJ, yes
terday. In the absence of later advices the
English papers continued to speculate on the
position of affairs in America at the time o.
the departure of the Anglo Saxon. 1t was
generally argued that matters as then rep
resented, showed drawn battle between the
federal and confederate armies, and that de-
cisive action had yet to come. Later intelli-
gence was most anxiously looked for.
