A Battle near Memphis. Mo.

There was an engagement near Memphis on
Saturday, rumors of which reached US Sunday
and were confirmed yesterday. Some two nun.
dred State troops attacked Porters force of 250
to 800. After fighting some time the State
troops were getting the worst oft when theywere
reinforced by detachment of Merrilps cavalry.
The marauders under Porter were finally routed,
with loss of some II killed on our part and q
number wounded, part of whom were taken TO
Bentonsport, in our State, and two severely
wounded came down here last evening Cd the
cars. .,.-
The report current Sunday that Porter was
killed is incorrect, as we talked with man yes
terday who saw Porter alive and we'll on Sunday
near Kirkville.
It was also reported that Mr.. DeWolf, of our
own, was killed in the engagement, but we have
not been able to ascertain the truth with certain.
ty in regard to his death, but as he belonged to
Bishops cavalry, he must have fallen elsewhere,
if at all.
It is time force was sent into Northeast Mis-.
souri, Of sufficient strength to clean out these
secesh marauders and their apetters. Robbery,
murder and massacre have prevailed long enough
in that region, when thousands of loyal men
might be bad on call to sweep the deperadoes
from the earth.
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
The two wounded men brought to the Hospital
are Charles F. Walker, Co. I, Aerrill's Horse,
and A. B. Friend, Co. G, Merrills Horse, the
former from Michigan and the latter from Ohio.
They report that our men being ordered to
charge upon the enemy, who we're concealed in
timber and thicSct, were drawn into the enc.
my's ambuscade, where we suffered our principal
loss 1t is thought, however, that the bash.
whackers lost many more in killed than on our
side, while we probably have the greatest mum.

The rebels passed westward, carrying their
wounded in wagons, and it is hoped they Will be

They lost one Captain, Stacy, notorious rebel,
while We lost no officers on our side Captain
BARKER and two or three Of our Lieutenants were
wounded. The two brought into Hospital are
