from Our Own corresoondept.1
ST. LOUIS, Oct. G, 1sca,
According to ad.ices received ut 1eas quar-
tiers Yesterday. stirring news oucht to he "a.
ccived from the Southwest today. Ua ss.ur-
day, Gen. Eehofeld had nassed his forces at !
in Newton county, and was about |
to move en- the rebels, IL, 600 strong, at NeE-
topia, only six.cen miles distant. All the ad-
yantas sts Of arms AID artillery are il our favor,
Gen. scls feld is fa,ui!ja1 with the ground.
He las Under LIN some very abl- officers. I
TIE reEels have i:C:rior eru,s. aud ars sun |
pcstd to be fewer in .rmbe. than our forces. !
Our men are eager fer fight. Nothing thus
far known seems to stand In the gsy ct =
glorious victory for cur troops. So stood the
situation, as indicated by telegraph, on Satur-
day. Serious doubts are entertained, how
ever, whether thera Will be any fight. The
rebels are probably as well aware Of their own
disadvantages as we are Of our own adyau~
tages, and retreat is nfidently expected.
But What will the retcl officers tell their men
If they SOUND retreat. There Is no doubt
whatever that the invasion Of Missouri his
been undertaken as the only means Of furnish
iBg supplies to the army, and that to stay In
Arkansas is starvation. A dozen sources Of
information agree upon this one point, TINT
the officers have promised their conscEipts
that they shall winter in the heart Of Missouri,
ard retreat to Arkansas now must dI$pcl
such dreams as quickly as June sunshine
dienels the .,orn;nr n;st.
