THE REBELS ATTACKED AND DEFEATED |!

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Nov. 29.-Gen. Blunt,
with five thousand federal soldiers, attacked
and roated eight thousand rebels under Gen.
Marmaduke, at Cone Hill, Ark, on the Goth
inst. Sixty rebels were killed in the engage
ment and the balance driven some twelve
miles. Gen. Blunt telegraphs that the rebels
are badly whipped, and will not probably ven
ture north of the Boston mountains again this
winter, and as they have consumed all the
substance in the valley of the Arkansas, they
must soon retreat into Texas.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 29.-To MAJOR General
II. W. HaIlecb, GeneraI-in- Chief General
Blunt, with his division, made forced marches
and attacked the enemy yesterday morning at
Cone Hill. The battle lasted for several
hours. The enemy, under Gen. Marmaduke,
began to fall back about one o'clock, but re-
treated fighting till shutdown. The victory
was complete. Our loss is not great; the
enemy's loss is much greater than ours. Our
forces camped on the battle field. The enc
my has retired to Van Buren,.

DRAFT OF NEGROES FOR MILITARY SER
vIcE.-We notice that in Texas, and in some
portions of the Mississippi Valley, the propo-
sition is urged to make CONSUMPTION or forced
levy of slaves, where their labor is necessary
for the army. Since the invasion of the
south, the Yankees have stolen tens of thou
sands of negroes, and made them useful as
teamsters, laborers in camp, &c. 1t appears
that shareholders are averse, for some reason,
to hire their negroes in the confederate army.
The prejudice is certainly an ignorant and
mean one. As the war originated and is car
ried out in great part for the defence of the
STAKEHOLDER in his property rights. and the
perpetuataOl of the institution, it is reasona-
bic to suppose he ought to be the first and
foremost in aiding and assisting, by every
means i'll his power, the triumph and success
of our arms. Good wages are offered, and
proper care and attention will be given every
negro hired to the army, and the STAKEHOLDER
ought to remember that for every negro he
thus furnishes he puts soldier in the ranks.

CHAxrrLLY, VA, Nov. 80 P. M.-Brig.
Gen. Stahl has Just returned. He attacked
the enemy at Smokers Ferry, and followed
them with three hundred cavalry into their
camp on the other side of the river, and near
Berryyille. Our men charged splendidly
whenever they met the enemy.
Whites cavalry was driven in all directions.
Nearly all their officers were captured and
their colors were taken. White himself fled,
and hid himself in a house in Berryville.
The I'd, 7th and 18th Virginia rebel cavalry
were also attacked and routed; forty of their
men with horses were taken prisoners and tit-
ty killed and wounded and two colors taken.
One wagon load of pistols and carbines wan
picked up on the road, having been thrown
away by the flying enemy. Eighty cattle and
eighty horses were also brought in. Our
loss in killed and wounded was about fifteen.
Gen. Stahl reports that his officers and men
behaved excellently, and used only their
swords-no firearms.
He also reports that there is brigade un-
der Gen. Jones at Winchester, but that Jack
sons force was at Newmarket last Wednes-
