CARR. CocKEFAIR.-Ths gallant officer is at
home on a brief iurough having left his battery
at Jefferson City, Missouri. He has one hundred
and enty-sx men duty, and not sick man
in camp for thirty days past. He has lost only
one man by disease. and not more than six horses.
To demonstrate the extraordinary discipline Of
Capt. Cockefair's corps. we would state that on
the eth inst he left Otiervle at O'Clock, and
made fifty six miles in l6 hours. Capt Cockeiair
represents improved state of feeling in Mis-
souri, under Haeck's administration. Gen
eral Halleck's orders with regard to the
rights of citizens and the protection of
private proverty paying for all property taken for
the use of the army, together with the good
treatment the Union soldiers now exhibit toward
! citizens. has produced marked change in the
minds of the inhabitants. More money is now
ahoat in Missouri than ever before. Providen
tally there were fine crops last year, the first in
several years Last fall bought at l lie
per bushel and hay at 50 per ton. Now corn
brings 25c per bushel aud hay 81 per ton. Capt.
Cockefair, to whom we are indebted for these
facts. looks if n soldiers life agreed with him.
He is brave, gallant and accomplished gentle
man. strong in his devotion to the Union, and if
he has opportunity will cover himself with glory
ere the war is ended
