HArrERAs, PoRT ROYAL, &c.

We give the latest from the Burnside
Expedition elsewhere. From Port Royal
the news locks cheering. There is no
doubt that Savannah has been completely
invested, and for several days there have
been rumors derived from secession sources
that Savannah has been taken.
Whether true or not, there is no doubt
but the city is completely within our pow

strong movement was also being made at
last accounts against Charleston.

CAIRO.

Cairo is oVerrun by citizens of Illinois.
Indiana, DC, who have come to look after
their friends among the killed and wound
ed in Ii late battle. All are anxious to
go to Fort Donelson, but are unable to get
up on account of the wait of transporta-

have presented themselves to volunteer
their services, but are being sent back as
their aid is not nee ded.
Col Buford made a reconnaissance down
the river on Tuesday and found the camp
at Columbus in evident commotion. He
hailed native on shore, who assured
him the rebels were on the eve of moving
from that point with all their forces in
two expeditions-one to 60 and take Pa
ducah, and the 9th ar Cairo. As such an
attempt would be absurd, the Inference
was, that such an idea wa being held out
to the soldiers as a blinl, while the real
business was to ev ,cuase the place. Daily
rumors from the vicinity of Columbus
since tien p 'ear to confirm this view of
the case, and the rebel army there is really
dropping down to Memphis

From Missouri.

The news from Southwestern Missouri
is exciting. The Union army, with Gen
Styles div on at the head, entered
Springfield on the mo ming of the 18th,
Price having evacuated the place the night
before. His rear VA Il was overhauled a
mish, dozen or so killed and number
taken prisoners. Price had left all his
sick-s me 600 behind. The pursuit Of
Price was Immediately commenced by our
army. In II evening his rear was again
over.aken-another skirmish-and LOG
loaded wagons Of his train captured, with
more prisoners. On the morning Of the
18th in Cur started with his whole
army in pursuit of Price, Sisel still i'll the
lead, and at latest accounts, GO o'clock on
night he was in Arkansas, 60
miles souti. of Springfield He was never
over seven, and at the last account but
three miles behind Prices main army. He
had taken so many prisoners that, as his
dispatch expresses it, he was at a loss
what to do with them. His determination
was to follow Price till he caught him,
and if he had to chase him all over Ar.
kansas The report that he had cap.
tured Price, announced at Washington
on tuesday, grew out of his capture of
Brig Gen. Edward Price, son of Gen. p.
and Col. Phillips, Maj. Cross, and Capt.
Crosby, all of Prices staff, at Warsaw, on
their way to Prices army with 500 re-
cruits.

left, and storm the enemy's works. The or
der was obeyed with alacrity, and the enc
my's forts on their right were taken at the
point of the bayonet, the Iowa I'd and Ill.
7th being the first to enter the works.
The cheers that greeted the old flag as it
rose above the enemy's entrenchments
were such as patriots only can give.
The fighting during the remaing hour
or two of Saturday was lat will" and
marked by no striking events.
And thus ended the third day of this
fiercely contested battle. Our troops were
encouraged 1t is true, it was a hard day
300 Of our brave fellows were slain, and
1000 lay wounded; but the enemy had, put
forth his utmost strength and been driven
back in dismay, and we had gained lodg-
ment within his works. 1t was now man
ifest the forts could be taken.
Saturday night was occupied in bringing
forward fresh troops, and contracting our
lines for simultaneous assault from eve
ry point in the morning.
Sunday merning at day break every man
was at his post, and the order to advance
having been given, as objects became more
distinct, white flags were seen hanging
from many places on the enemy's works.
Rebels also approached and informed our
advancing troops that they had concluded
to surrender.
And such proved the fact During the
night the rebel Generals Floyd, Pillow,
Buckner. and johnson held a council of
war, at which this course was decided
upon. Gen. Floyd then secretly, it is said,
without the knowledge of Buckner and
johnson, took his three VirgiaIs reg-
ments, and Pillow his cavalry brigade, and
made their escape up the river. At day
break the following pithy correspondence
passed between the respective command.

brigade was engaged. This was soon fol.
lowed by Col Wallace's and Col. Near
thurs brigades also taking part, being the
whole of Netherlands division 1t soon
became apparent that the enemy had con.
centrated nearly his whole force on this d.
vision, being determined to turn our right
flank. The ground was iercely contested
for over three hours, when our men run
out of ammunition and began to fall back,
the enemy pressing forward for half mile
This retrograde movement on our side was
arrested by Gen. Lew. Wallace coming to
McClernands aid with four regiments of
Indiana and KY. troops, and the ammunition
wagons having now arrived, the enemy
was driven back behind his entertainments
1t was here, and during these four or FIVE
hours, that the hardest fighting of the bat
tie took place; it was here that Schwarzs
battery was taken by the enemy, and again
so calamity recovered; it was here the
bold attempt was made to take Taylors
battery by three rebel regiments and he
roically repulsed by the Goth ILL.,, led on
by the gallant It. Col Erwin; and it was
here that SO many others of our best off,
GERS and men were sent to their long
homes. 1t was during this part of the
fight that Gen. NJ Clsrnand's quarters were
taken, which were afterwards recovered;
and it was here that Maj Post and 200 of
our men we're teken prisoners-ths only
pri-oners lost on our side. They have
been sent to Nashville, where they will be
retaken.

idle spectators of the fierce struggle on the
right. About the time McClernands divi-
