FroIua So. Louis.

Special to the Chicago Trbune.l
ST. LOUIS, September Collaboration has
been received in Springfield that Hindmsn has
temporarily left his army, and is now in Little
Rock, hurrying forward more men and supplies
for his troops. The rebels were receiving
a stream of reinforcements from Texas and
western Louisiana. A staff officer at Springfield
telegraphs here that a battle will certainly take
place unless the rebels retreat.
General Schoield has been relieved of the
chief command of the State militia to enable
him to devote his attention to field operations.
General Curtis, in q speech last evening, said
he was not in favor Of the Union as it used to
be, or was row, but as it should be. His allu-
sions to the emancipation proclamation were en-
Enthusiastically applIuded.
Secessionists are quite loud against the proc
lsmatiOn. This gives them a chance to abuse
the government and plead loyalty simults-
neously.
The steamer Shreveport arrived to-day from
the extreme Upper Missouri river, having gone
$500 miles above the mouth of the Missouri,
one hundred miles further than any previous
boat.
POindexter's leg having been ~amputated on
account of a severe wound, it is supposed he
will die. He is disabled for life for guerrilla
operations. The inference that the amputation
was done purposly, will be nswere by the
fact that it gas done at POindexter's own re-
quest, and the danger is Occssioned because it
was delayed too long.
The missing charges against McKinstTy have
turned up in the quaTtermsster's safe. The
bearer is said to have been off on a spree.

The St Louis Republican, fears the effect Of
LNCOLE's proclamation will be to operate
against Union men as well as the rebels" be-
cause, it asserts, tie " Confederates have never
hesitated, with or without reason, to resort to
the Ter talioRis to enforce, as they say, obedience
on orr part to the ordinary laws and customs Of
modern war" and " as the confscation of pri-
vate property is not an ordinary appliance Of
civilized war, if, indeed, it is not prohibited by
bsligerent rules and ussges, it is easily seen
what havoc and destruction may come upon
Union men on the border, if the rebels, taking
the Presidents proclamation as an excuse, re-
sort to retaliation, not confuing confscation to
property in slaves but extending it to horses,
cattle, crops, and even the furniture Of dwell
ings.7
These fears, We can assure our enemies, are
well founded. To refrain from the adoption Of
the policy indicated by the quotation would be
q folly cur leaders surely will not be guilty Of

A Fight at C~a..viIIe. missouri.

From the Springfield Journal. Sep. 81
We learn from a reliable source that a detach-
ment OF first Arkansas cavalry, under the COM
mand OF Captains Gilstrap and Galloway, at
tackled Cassville on the morning of the DIST iu-
slant, completely routing a rebel force of one
hundred men, killing fifteen, taking nineteen
MISUNDERSTANDING them a misunderstanding
twenty horses, fifteen double-barreled shot guns
one revolving rife, one Shapes rifle and a car
bine. The number Of rebels wounded it has
been impossible to ascertain. The loss Of the
ATkansians was one man kiIled-Hiram Ross,
OF company E-nOne wounded.
Learning that a force of the enemy. reported
to be three hundred aud fifty strong, AMI com
manded by the notorious Colonel Carroll were
endesvoring to get in their rear, the Arkansisns
returned to McCulloch's by q circuitous route,
and fell in with the rebel pickets, when the lat
ter scattered, and falling back on their main
body, the whole party "skedaddled."
Further information it is not, perhaps, prudent
to give at present. The men are in good spirits
and eager for another onset.

Important from NORFOLK and s.aoTk

PHILADELPHIA, September 27.-Forney's
Press has the following Passengers from Nor
folk and Fortress Monroe report that important
movements have been progressing in that vicin-
ity for some days past.
A division, under command of an able fight
ing general, marched off from Suffolk a day or
two since, in the direction of Blackwater rail-
road bridge, in the hope of meeting and cap
turing the rebel rear guard supposed to be sd-
vancing on Norfolk Town the State and Seaboard
railroads. Blackwster bridge having been
reached, no enemy was found.
Contrabands report that the news of our move
ment had reached Petersburg, and a great move
ment OF rebel troops was reported between Rich
mond and Petersburg. Itis thought probable
that this Federal expedition will not push on to
New Market unless reinforced, but several for
aging expeditions have been sent out, and large
quantities of wheat and corn were captured.
A large number Of negroes have also been
brought into our lines by our pickets.

Result of HE ConaicI in marylapd.

As the facts are made publica at the North cor
corning the late operations in Maryland, it be.
comes SO apparent that the advantage was with
the Confederate army, that even the abolition
journals are found to admit the fact. We find
the following in the correspondence of the New
York Times:
WASHINGTON, September 2I, 1S62.-The re-
cent conflict in Maryland is the engrossing topic
Of conversation here. As it becomes clear that
the rebel army has made good its escape, the
tendency of public opinion is to depreeate the
advantages secured by our triumph at Sharps-
burg. While every credit is given to our gal
liant soldiers for theiriadmirable fighting in the
field, yet the loss of Harper's Ferry is beginning
to be felt as a disastrous as well as humiliating
defeat. The balance of advantage in the late
expedition evidently rests with the enemy, as
they carry off all the plumber captured, includ-
ing over 10000 stand of arms, and over ffty
pieces Of artillery.
These losses, added to those sustained in the
peninsula and by General Pope's army, must
make an aggregate of considerably over ffty
thousand stand of arms, and one hundred pieces
OF artillery, recently lost in our operations In the
east, sufficient to thoroughly equip an army
half as large as that now retreating into Vir-
ginis. It is known that our losses of ordnance
at Harper's Ferry was also very large, and that
they were not destroyed previous to the sur
render.
These facts give point to a recent remark of
General Ripley, chief of ordnance, who is said
to have stated that he ought to be the ablest or
dnsnce officer in the world, as he was required
to furnish arms enough to supply the enemy's
army as well as orr own.

Prom the Army-CompIete List OF the
Killed and Wounded 30 be Published
MOBILE, October IA special to the Adver
iser and Register says all was quiet in the
vicinity of the army on the LIST.
Mcclellan has sent a polite letter to General
Lee, informing him that Major Means, of the
18th South Carolina, and Captain Ready, of the
81 Alabama, were severely but not danger
ously wounded, and in his hands, and that every
attention would be given them. The letter was
sent at the request Of the parties.
LOngstreet's a~djutsnt informs me that a list Of
all the killed and wounded has been furnished

publication.

miles south of Baldwin, and cut the telegraph
wire. They were attacked by twenty-five Of

with a loss of seven killed and two prisoners.
Our loss two killed and none wounded.

CHATTANOOGA, Oct. "A company of parti-
sans yesterday drove the Yankee pickets three
miles from Flat Rock to Nashville. Flat Rock
is four miles from the city.
The Nashville Dispatch of the 3Oth says the
steamer FOrlOrn Hope was captured five miles
below the city, on the previous Sunday by the
rebels.
The impression in Nashville was that Bragg
had captured Louisville.
Spectators have cleaned out all the goods and
stores between here and Nashville, and no more
need come.
There is no doubt about the starving condi-
ton Of Nashville.

RICHMOND, October 2.-The Senate to-day

The House bill, spprOpriating a million of dol

At one o'clock the Senate went into secret ses-

opened, several communications from the Presi-
dent were presented.
The House was occupied nearly all day in the
discussion of the bill to raise revenue.

JUSTICE no GENERAL PRTCR

The Mobile Telegraph observes that the u
mors that General PAGES army is in a state Of
decentralization are all false. It is supposed that
they have been invented for some n~efarious
purpose, By men now high in command.
This fight at Lu-ka, against so superior a
force is proof that they are false. They
are not only wholly false, but the contrary is
true. Those who are capable Of judging, con
slider lie command equal in discipline, valor,
zeal and esgerness to meet the enemy, TO any
division in the service It is under the
sHietest government, and is noted for re-
speeding private property, which is one proof Of
the good condition Of an army. The men are
dsvotediy attached 70 their general.
General Pace, somehow has the luck of ex-
citing 8 great deal Of jealousy among some Ct
his brother officers. Whether this is due to
West Point prejudice, or something worse, is
more than we can say. Oae thing Is certain,
he has the confidence Of the people, and so far,
as well as we can judge, has done nothing to
forfeit it-rather, indeed, is increasing it.

P-Iimnesofa Ma1,er.-

We find the following letter, dated St. Paul
September IS, in the Plttsburg Dispatch:
M~aJor-Genersl Pope, late in command of the
army OF Virginia, reached our city late last eve
ming. Cannon, music, and the usual append.
ages necessary to an impromptu ovation herald.
ed his landing. His suite, consisting of three
colonies, a major, several captains, and last, not
least, a general, took lodgings at the Interna-
tlonal hotel. As 4 consequence, shoulder straps
are quoted above par to-day.
Almost everybody now feels certain that our
Indian troubles will be allayed, as by magic.
What ex-governor Siblsy has failed to do as col
Onel aud communicating chief of the expedition
against the SiOUxs, Major General Pope, aided
by one general three colonies, one major. and
several captains, must certainly accomplish, and
l, for one, do not doubt that AS soon as Hole.in-
} the-DAy, the great Chippewa chief, who is now,
as many OF our prominent politicians have been,
and still are, on the fence, i. g. either for or
against law and order, will at once Jump down
on the sill Of uncle Abraham.
Well, i among many others, sincerely hope
and wish that MajOr-General Pope may have
more success than he obtained in the State that
has produced so many Presidents, and that be
may capture as many hundreds Of red skin dew
lis as be has been reported TO have captured
thousands Of rebels. Let us wall and see.
We, OF st. Paul, are highly ~jubilant. We
have one major general, United States army, one
other general, three additional colonies, a major,
and several additional captains, Of which last
we possessed an almost fabulous number. The
country is safe
The late raid upon our frontier has been a fear
full one. Not less than six hundred, and per-
haps a thousand, lives have been lost. The bar
bsrities inflicted upon persons of all sizes and
sex can only be appreciated by searching for
and reading similar atrocities perpetrated almost
a century past Disemboweling, chopping off
Of hands, limbs and heads, mailing infants to
doors and trees, outraging women, ripping out
infants fcom their mothers wombs, and casting
them away beforethe agOnized mothers, were Of
frequent occurrence.
You csnnot imagine the Oscillation now exist
ing, where, two months ago, peace, happiness
and plenty Teigned. Every vacant building in
our midst is filed with bereaved fathers, moth
ers and orphans. Our State officials, corporate
bodies, and citizens have done, and are now
doing, all that can be done for the relief of ell
unfOrtunates, but who will compensate the wife
for her husband murdered, the mother for her
butehered children, or the orphan left alone At a
tender age.

SUCCESSFUL sKIRmIsH IN Goa.
HOMA COUNTY,

A gentleman who reached this city last ever.
ing from Shuforisville, Coahoma county, Mis-
sissippi, gives US the particulars of a brilliant
exploit performed by a company of cavalry,
organized for home protection, by Captain POR-
z On the 9th nit, a Federal force of two
hundred and fifty, consisting of infantry, one
company of cavalry, with a section Of artillery,
were landed at Friar's Point, and started for the
interior Of the county as an escort for sixty
wagons, which they stated were being sent out
to secure some cotton one of their spectators
had purchased. The truth was, however, none
of the staple had been sold them, and it soon
became apparent that their design WAS to reach
some five hundred bales, of the location of which
they had received information. At or near
Walls Point Captain PORTER placed his men
f~orty-three in number, in ambush in a cane
brake, and upon the appearance of the enemy
greeted them with a volley. They were at once
thrown into considerable confusion, and at the
third round from the fatal doubls-bsrrels of the
rangers, they broke and fed, having sustained a
loss Of sixteen killed and twenty-five wounded.
Captain PORTER was unable to persue them,
his horses having necessarily been left some dis
lance from the point where tie attack was
made. The Confederates lost one killed-Mr.
D. CHAMPION, q citizen who volunteered on the
occasion.
Thersngers under Captain PORTER, are, we
are assured, doing good service.
