Corn is selling at from 25 to 80 cents per
bushel here. with an upward tendency.
Some are holding on for so cents. The
failure of the crop in the southeastern por-
ton of the State, the past season. makes it
scarce at Fort Scott, where there is a great
demand on account of the consumption for
military purposes. The cry that it don't
pay to raise corn here is about played out.
We understand that large quantities have
already been hauled from the eastern por-
ton of this county. by the inhabitants of
the southeastern part Of the State, where no
corn was raised last year.

OANG AAAi~L VI bOONSoOASS j.
WASHINGTON Co., ARK, Dec. g, 1861.(
EDITOR News: The Kansas army. under
General Blunt, has achieved another i'm
portant victory over the rebels. After a
forced march of forty miles, over steep and
rocky roads (lhe men carrying their blan-
kets, overcoats, and three days rations J,
we attacked the enemy at this point at
about 10 O'Clock on the morning of Friday
last, the 98th ult The rebels were advan-
tageously posted on high hills, commanding
the only roads by which we could approach
But they gave way, finally, before Rabb's
battery and the Kansas Second howitzers,
supported by the Second and Eleventh
Regiments. Again and again they formed,
only to be as often driven away, until final
ly they were driven into the Boston Noun
tains, where they made a stand, and con-
tested desperately every inch of ground for
over three miles. But it was emo CO." A
portion of the Kansas Second, the Eleventh,
and Phillips's Indians, forming, on both
sides of the road, line of battle half mile
long, drove them from behind every tree,
and rock, clear through the mountains. 1t
was now nearly dark, and the infantry was
completely worn out with the arduous toll
of the last forty eight hours, aud gave place
to the Sixth Kansas cavalry, under Coils.
Judson and Jewell, who charged upon the
enemy with the greatest valor, completely
routing them, but suffering great loss in re-
turn.
Night put stop to further pursuit. The
enemy continued to retreat all night, send
ing back . flag of truce for permission to
bury their dead, and take care Of their
wounded. They admitted a loss of sixty
killed, and as many wounded and taken
prisoners. Their force was between FIVE
and six thousand, mostly cavalry. with six
pieces of artillery-the whole commanded
by Brig. Gen. Marmaduke. Our force, ac-
tually engaged, did not exceed two thou
eand. Our loss was fifteen killed, and
thirty wounded and prisoners. Lieut.. Gel.
Jewell, of the Sixth, was MORALLY wounded

and died the next day. The Sixth suffered
more severely than any other regiment
Cyrenus Adams, of Emporia, a member OF
Captain Russell's company of the Second,
was shot through the head and instantly
killed, in charge upon the rebels in the
mountains. He was in the front ranks, and
died while bravely doing his duty. Corporal
Best, of Co. c, ofthe Eleventh, was shot in
the head, and was at first supposed to be
MORALLY wounded; but he is now rapidly
recovering, and will be on duty in few
weeks. These are the only casualties among
the Lyon county boys.
The notorious Quantrile, who has so long
been terror to the Kansas border, was
present during the fight, and an active par
tcipant. He is said to have a Colonel's
commission in the rebel army, and is trying
TO raise a regiment.
The rebel force here was made up of Mis-
sourians, Arkansans and Texans
The battle of Cane Hill has added fresh
laurels to the reputation of lighting Kan
sas." All the participants on the Union
side, from Gen. Blunt down to the last pri-
vate in the ranks, are Kansas soldiers-and
all behaved well. Gen. Blunt was in the
tbickest of the fray, and headed the last
charge on the enemy in person. He is a
gallant soldier.
We are now within thirty-fve miles of
Fort Smith-in The most fertile district in
Western Arkansas. We shall probably re-
main here couple of weeks, and then or
to Fort Smith, where the enemy is prepar-
ing to make his last stand for Arkansas and
Northern Texas. Don't doubt that We shall
be successful.

Burnside has been compelled to recross
the Rappabanuock with his army. 1t is
said, and We suppose it is true, that the en-
emy's works back of Fredericksburgh can
not be taken without heavy and useless
loss of life. The Rebel Notifications are
almost as impregnable as was the famous
Sebastopol. Burnside got his forces over
in the night, and although the undertaking
was extremely hazardous, it was accomplish
ed without disaster. The poontoons were
covered with dirt to keep the artillery wheels
from making noise, and the wind and rain
assisted in keeping Il e retreat from the ears
of the rebels, who, if they had known what
was going on, would undoubtedly have done
our army great injury. The Philadelphia
Press publishes dispatch from Burnside
to Hslleck, in which he says: Feeling full
ly convinced that the position in front could
not be carried, 1t was a military necessity
either TO attack or retreat. Repulse would
have been disastrous under the circumstan-
ces, and the army was Withdrawn without
loss to man or property. Burnside has
since been reinforced By Sigel, and we hope
the Dutchman will get chance at the Reb-
els, for we must acknowledge that we have
more confidence in him than any of our Po-
tomac Generals. We have seen but very
few particulars of the fight of the 18th, but
learn that the loss in Franklin's division was
5,932 in killed and wounded. Taken al
together, the crossing of tie Rappahannock
has certainly been of no advantage to our
cause, but is rather defeat.
The Eastern free labor movements
which have been extensively but quietly or
gsnized in North Carolina, are understood
now to be preparatory to the organization
of government of the State on a loyal ba-
sis, so that North Carolina may accept Pres
ident Lincoln's policy of compensated eman-
cipation.

lHJaor General Curtis:
General Blunt has undoubtedly informed
you OF the battle Of yesterday Hindmar
moved to the east of Blunt with his entire
force-96, 900 men-intending to cut of
my command. I had sent forward to Blum
all my cavalry, having leftsix regiments o.
infantry, three battalions, and about fv,
hundred cavalry.
General Marmaduke opened on my ad-
vance at seven O'Clock, with heavy cavalry
force, but forced them back to Illinois
Creek eight miles from Cane Hill. AT this
point they took strong position with in
fantry and artillery, and tried to prevent my
crossing, but by cutting roads through the
woods, got the batteries into position, and
and at half past nine o'clock opened on them
with eighteen guns, bringing forward my
infantry, crossing the creek, and getting
them into position under cover of my artil-
lery. From this hour until 7 o'clock in
the evening the fighting was furious.
Gen. Blunt arrived within one mile of my
right at P. M, opening on the enemy's left
Learning definitely that he was on the
ground, ordered the infantry to charge
the enemy's batteries. The nineteenth Iowa
and twentieth Wisconsin did it gallantly,
taking whole battery but were afterwards
overwhelmed and forced to leave it.
Col. Huston, commanding the Twentieth
division, then charged the same battery,
with the Thirty Illinois and Thirty
sixth Indiana. re-taking it second time,
but after holding it half an hour, was com
PEELED to give way. The fighting was con-
slant and furious throughout the entire day
l met Gen. Blunt late in the evening, and
we arranged the attack before morning, but
daylight found the rebels gone Their loss
is from SIX to seven hundred killed, and
twenty hundred wounded. Ours is
probably two hundred and fifty killed and
seven hundred wounded. In the Second
and Third divisions, Lieut.. Col. Mcfarland
Nineteenth Iowa, is killed, and Col. Black
Thirty seventh Illinois, Major Thompson
Twentieth Iowa, and large number of line
officers wounded. The prisoners state tha
General Stein and five colonies were killed
We captured four caissons full of ammuni
ton, and large number of small arms
Their artillery was knocked to pieces by oul
batteries, and Major Hubbard, who was {
prisoner with them, reports seeing piec'
after piece sent off entirely disabled.
The working of Murphy's and Faust's
batteries excelled any thing ever witnessed
