The Rebels who % vaUniiney proclaimed their
intention to Winter in this city, have been driven
from the southwestern counties by Gen. SchOhed.

ing Mp its success by crossing the line into Arkansas
The Rebels have or recently had aicamp at Gross
Holows and on their Tetrea, from Nawtona and
Cassvi lle fell back this camp. Ii il doubtful
whether they Will wait orthe presence Of Schoiields
army-their officers know the inability Of the motley
gathering Of cOnscr ps to stand up against the supe
iior armed and disciplined volunteers Of the North
West. II is confidently predicted that they will sac
dadde across tie Boston Mouria D. which IS cquiya-
lent 10 abandonment, a. the Rebel authorities can
never feed a large concentrated army through the
Winter. There may be a battle but It il extremely
doubtful. The Rebels are commanded by the poor
os lot of officers IN the Confederate service WHISKY

yancng in three columns, under Gems. Brown, Salo-
mon and Blunt Gen. lotten is second in command
10 Gen Seho6eld and commands large reserve
force. There Is danger TO be approhended in case
Of a battle. The Rebels viii be wiped on. as clean
as the traoings Of slate pencil may be removed
with a sponge.
The Relics have rc,rcn,ed from their advanced
positions IN SouthW West Missouri toward Poca-
hortas. They secured the country as IA north a.

was e.s than 1900. They dill not enforce the Rebel
Conscuption Law very generally while around

The November election will probably result in the

ii Will be perceived from the foregoing review Of
State politics that there emancipation candidates
running ia aeyeral districts. This ~ a great sIilde
forward. IL is the essence OF he pohcy advocated
