HEADQUARTERS Army OF THE SournwRsr, !
Ia the Field, Fort Scott, Kansas,
August &c, 1862.


Correspondence of tho Mo. DemoerGt.-
The greatest activity prevails here in get
ting the army ready for immediate adj
vance towards Arkansas. Gen. Blunt,
commanding the forces here, has received
information that all troops in the depart
ment of Kansas, and all those in Southwest
Missouri, including all the recent levy of
militia, will be concentrated at such point
as he shall designate. This portion of the
army is finely equipped, and contains four
complete batteries Of 8 guns each. Troops
have been brigaded, and different COM
manders ordered to move their commands
to suitable places East and South of Fort
Scott, where full supply of forage,
grass, fuel, and good healthy water can
be obtained.
Information has just been received here
confirming the report that the rebels arc
concentrating in large numbers at Gross
HOllows with the intention of marching
North proposing to take Fort Scott then
Fort Leayenworth.
Gen. Pike had made a speech to his men
saying he intended to be at Fort LeaVen-
worth before snow fell. There is no doubt
that such is the idea held out to the rebel
force now concentrating at Gross Hollows, .
and the recent excursions under Cochrell
and Coffee to Lone Jack was for the pur-

Arkansas. Hundreds of men followed them
and with two pieces of the Indiana battery
which they captured at Lone Jack, but
they were mostly without arms.
Day before yesterday Quintrell and Hays
bands came upon six companies of the BAD
Kansas and three companies of the 9th
Kansas near Lamar. Maj. Campbell aud
Capt. Greene Of the 9th attacked them
with about 60 of their men aud had a
severe fight, lasting two hours, in which
two men were killed and q wounded. 1t.
Col. Bassett, commanding the 2ud Kansas,
marched upon the opposite side OF the
stream ont of danger. The wounded men
say the rebels had about 700 men, and if
Bassett had helped them they would have
whipped them. Col. Cloud left his force
day before to report at this place. All say
that had he been there, Quintrell and
Hays would have been taken.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2,-By telegraph
from Cape Race We have a summary of
news brought by the North American from
Liverpool on the 2lst, via Londonderry on
the 22d of August.
The London Times treats the couscrip-
tion as new act of despotism, and thinks
that involuntary servitude is now the lot
of the white race of the United States.
Tho Netrs and Star continue to defend
the cause of the North. 1t is claimed by
the Paris Pays that the harvest in France
is the best ia ten years, and that no corn
will be needed from abroad. It's said that
Napoleon has expressed decided condemns
ton Of Garibaldits movements in the Turin
Senate on goth OF August. Patazzi, in re-
ply to a question by senator, declared
that the government considered Garibaldi
in state OF rebellion and the situation Of
Italy grave. Garibaldi had entered Cata-
nia.
In the London money markets the funds
were weaker, aud the fall is attributable
by the London Times to the kilograms in
the extras giving the news from America.
Money was in good demand at nnchdBged
rates.

The Latest from our Army at Cen
treVille and Bull Run.

New York, Sept. 2.-The Herald in an
editorial says: Up to o'clock this morn
ing we had no news of the renewal of the
great contest near Bull Run. The very la
test at that hour in the city was dispatch
from Judge White, of this city, who had
returned to Washington from our army at
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He states
that our men arc in good spirits, and as
firm as veterans. They hold CentreyIlle
and the vicinity, with part of the old battle
field of Bull Run.
The tone of feeling IN Washington was
full OF confidence. Our army in the field
was being rapidly and powerfully strength
encd, and ample preparations were made
for the care aud relief of the wounded.
Dispatches and correspondence received
last night speak confidently Of the safety
of Gen. Banks command, and represent
the rebels as being in an extremely critical
position.
It seemed to be generally believed at
Washington that the Union lines were qui-
city fauking and closing around the rebel
army, and that their escape, at least with
out fearful loss, would be impossible
Should this idea of the situation prove
correct, there will be bloody work soon
for the rebels are far away from their
supplies.
They cannot have surplus ofprovisions,
and should their communication with
Western Virginia be interrupted, starVa-
ton would literally stare them in the face.
AS to their making rush into Maryland,
VIC are over and over assured that such an
attempt would be frustrated. Altogether,
the situation seems to promise early ami
decisive victory, should no unforeseen
disaster mar the plans and prospects Of
the moment.
