BRILLIANT VICTORY.

A special to the st. Louis Democrat
from Sugar Creek says: after con-
test of three days duration, we have
beaten the enemy at Sugar Creek Hol-
low. Their force consisted of Van
Dorn's, Prices, McCulloch's, & Frost's
commands, and were forced to retreat
in wild confusion, with the loss of a
considerable number of cannon, flour,
muskets ammunition, caissons, &c.
Their force is variously estimated at
from 90, 900 to $4,000. McCulloch is
ascertained to be mortally wounded,
as we'll as Mcintosh and Rector--the
latter son of the Governor Of Arkan-
sas. McRae and a number of other
prominent men are prisoners in our
hands, besides large number of rank
and file.

sides being wounded, Col. Heron was
taken prisoner. Col. Dodge had three
horses shot under him. Lieut.. Smith
of the Second Ohio battery, was ta-
ken prisoner, jumped from a wagon
to make his escape and was killed.
Thirteen pieces Of artillery were cap
tured by our men, among them one
lost by Gen. Sigcl at Wilson's Creek.
Onr loss is estimated at 500 or 1000
killed. The rebel loss is not known,
but supposed to be from 1000 to 5000.
A large number of rebel prisoners
were taken, probably 1900 and more
were constantly being brought in.
Among the prisoners are VIM. C. Price,
of st. Louis, formerly United States
Treasurer. Two thousand Indians
were engaged in the battle. Eighteen
of our killed were scalpcd by them.

Gen. Sherman having driven away
the reporters, we are yet without any
positive information from his expedi.
ton, but the movement against Savan-
nah was so formidable that there has
been no reason to doubt its success.
The force consisted of Is gunboats of
powerful armament, and something
like 10000 men, chiefly of the New
ioIa regiments. The expedition sup
posed to look towards Charleston, con-
S SITS of 10000 infantry and three reg
imcns Of cavalry, by one route, and o
heavy column by another route.

stand in need of it before night. He had
need of it in his greatest need, for rifle ball

Scrobutic diseases are the parent stock from
which arises large proportion OF the fatal
maladies that afflict mankind. They are as II
were species of potatoe rot in the human
constitution, which undermines and corrupts
all the sources of its vitality and hastens its
decay They are the germ from which spring,
Consumption, Rheumatism, Heart Disease,
Liver Complaints and Eruptive Diseases which
will be recognized as among those most fatal
and destructive to the races of men, So dread
full are its consequences to human life, that II
is hardly possible to over estimate the impor-
lance of an actual, reliable remedy, that can
sweep out this scrofulous contamination. We
know then we shall proclaim welcome news to
our readers of one from such quarter as will
leave little doubt Of its eficacy--and still more
welcome, when we tell them that u surely

Ayers Sarsaparilla, and it is certainly worthy
the attention of those who are afflicted with
Scrofula or Scrofulous complaints. -Rsgister.

1t is thought that the rebels al
Manassas must in some way have 60,
hold Of the Presidents order, which
caused their precipitatc fight from
that stronghold. This craven fight o.
the rebel army was unexpected, and
can only be fully explained by future
developments. Whatever may be
their plans, there is little doubt tina,
their capital will soon be in our pos
session, and their lines driven in on
every side. Let Mcclellan make a
bold push for Richmond, while Burn.
side presses upon Norfolk, and the
rebel army will find all the business
upon their hands that they can well
attend to.

the sea covered her decks completely

been proof against everything.

How TUE ARMY or THE PENINSULA WAS
REMovED.-The New York World thus de-
scribes the manner in which McClelan's
army was removed fro the Peninsula:
1t would be great mistake to suppose
that the army which Gen. Mcclellan with
drew on Saturday from Harrison's Land.
ing was as strong as the one with which he
took up that position after the seven days
battle. Quite proportion of his best
troops were taken away piecemeal and pre-
ceded him in the retreat. Burnside was
ordered to The vicinity of James river, IL
was ostensibly to reinforce Mcclellan, but
really as sponge to quietly soak up por-
ton OF his army aud convey il away. The
transports WHICH have been so active on
the James have taken down unsuspected
ca goes of men. They we're concealed
arlly by night trips, partly by crowding
the holds OF the vessels, partly by the pre-
tense of conveying down to Fortress Mon
roe great numbers of sick aud wounded.
Meanwhile, the fent on the south side of
the James answered double purpose. 1t
created apprehensions Of an attack on Pc.
tersburg, or Of land support TO an attack
by the gunb0ats on Fort Darling, aud 80
Withdrew rebel fierce from Richmond in
a direction which rendered them harmless.
and it had the further good effect (Which,
we suppose, was its main objecD of shield
ing the army at Harrison's Landing from
close observation by the rebels. BY occu-
pying the south bank Of the James himself,
Mcclellan prevented the rebels posting
there an nconyenient reconnoloring par
ty. Those precautions having been taken,
he shipped his siege guns and other heavy
property down the river, all newspaper cor.
respondents at Fortress Monroe being for
hidden TO give any account of the freight
of vessels plying on those waters. In this
manner he disencumbered himself Of i'm
pediments to a rapid march.

CAPTURE or POPE's PRIVATE PAPERs.-A
correspondent Of the New York Tribune,
writing from Gen. Pope's army, says 10
reference to the late raid upon Catletrs
Station, Virginia:
The most serious part of the business is
lbat they took Gen. Pope's personal bag
gage and moneys, and all his official pa.
pers, correspondence, cic., which happened
to be in one Of the wagons which had been
sent TO the rear. All the private papers
aud letters Of Gen. Pope, copies Of dispatch.

campaign and TO the army, copies OF tele
grams sent, all dispatches received from
The President, Halleck and the War De
partment, orders issued to Generals of corps
and divisions, containing information Of
the greatest value; in word, the whole
history aud plan of the campaign, the num-
bers and disposition Of troops, all are re-
vealed to the enemy by this disaster It's
seriousness can hardly be estimated. II is

dence Of Halleck. aud may render il neces-

A correspondent of the Philadelphia In-

They took or over two hundred horses
Of Pope's train. all Of which were very fine.
and twenty from Mcdowell. They secured
all Of Pope's baggage. but did not get bis
most valuable papers; hey got bic safe,
With $4,000 in treasury notes and not a
