A9special dispatch to The Democrat
says that a gentleman who left Gen.
Pope's command yesterday states that the
Rebels at New Madrid have between s.
900 and 10000 men: and four gunboats
anchored off the town, and that it has
been completely invested by our forces
Some skirmlsking has ensued, and sew
eral of our men were killed by shells
thrown from the Rebel gunboats when we
came within range. Our officers are con-
ident of an easy and complete victory, if
the gunboats of the Rebels are driven
away 1t is reported that the enemy are
for;ifying Savannah on the Tennessee
River. Some of the Rebel anchors left
at Columbus have been appropriated to
complete the equipment of our gunboats.
Reports from Charleston, Mo, say that
our forces are constantly skirmishing
with Jeff. Thompson's, and that three OF
four Of the latters men are captured
daily.
There are two men whose names will
forever remain illustrious in the history
