THE SITUATION.

-
The news from Missouri to-day Is important.
General Curtis telegrsphed yesterday to General
Haileck that our troops under Colonel Crabb, at
Springfield, had repulsed the rebels at that place
at every advance, and then held the town. Our
men behaved gsllantly. We lost only seven teen
killed. Tho enemy were in full retreat, and Gen.
Curtis had three columns in pursuit Of them.
Thirty five of the rebels were killed and large
number of wounded were left in our hands.
Major Collins had fight with the rebels four
thousand strong at Hartsvile, on Saturday, ana
drove them five miles. Our force numbered only
seven hundred and the enemy had five pieces Of
artillery. The action continued till Sunday even
ing The rebels lost thirty-6ve killed and one
hundred and fifty wounded.
There is no change in the movement Of our
troops at vicksburg since the withdrawal of Gene
raj Sherman's expedition and the succession Of
General McClernand to the command. The strength
OF the rebel defences render an attack there use.
less.
council Of war was held on Sunday last on
board the Tigress, which vessel for the present
has been selected by General McClernsnd as his
headquarters. Admiral Porter, Major Generals
Sherman and McClernand, with the Generals Of tn Q
divisions Of the army in Kentucky were present II
was determined at this council that it would be folly
again to attempt anything further against yicks.
burg with the present force. The rebels had
means of communication by which they were too
rapid and heavily reinforced while the Unionists
had no such opportunity or prospect Of receiving
reinforcements. II was, therefore, deemed expe.
dent that the campaign should be abandoned, OF
that vicksburg should be operated against from
some other point Of attack.
A telcgraphic despatch from General Pembertou
ssys that all the Union troops have gone up the
river that there were only seven gunboats be-
tween yicksburg and Milliken's Bend, and that
the city was being strengthened every day, and
could be maintained against all attacks. The re.
bel Generals Pcmberton and Price are in com.
maad there. The rebel forces have been rein
forced to the extent of sixty thousand men. They
have an artillery force Of one hundred and si~ty
guns in battery, besides a large number Of field
pieces. Our losses In the expedition are from two
thousand 1--WE hundred TO three thousand in killed,
wounded and missing. The enemy's loss Is un-
known, but II must have been large.
Captain Gwin, Of the United States gunboat
Benton, has died Of his wounds.
We learn from Charleston that intelligence was
received al San Antonio, Texas Of the landing OF
four thousand French troops at Matamoros, and
that they had taken possession Of the town.

Southern papers to-day JED. Davis has been
