GzH MABNADrKE's ExPED1TIoN-The True
Democrat Of the 10Th contains summary of
the results of the late expedition of this gal
liant officer into Missouri. The expedition
consisted Of Shelby's Brigade. NcDonald's
Regiment, and battery under the command
Of Lit. Collins. We regret that we have not
room for particulars.
After defeating several small bands of tories
and federals they attacked Springfield Oh the
morning Of the 8th, at daylight. The enemy
were routed and driven to tn cir forts, burnil z
the town as they retired. The fight continued
during the day and slow eaunonading was
kept up on them until late at night At the
close Of the battle the enemy sill occupied
onc oftheir forts. The crater part of the T. wn
MAS burned by the enemy. Thence General
Aarmaduke proceeded to Sand Springs. a fort
on the Rolla road which, together with Marsh
feld, four miles distant. was captured and de-
stroyed with large amount of stores About
SIX miles eastward of this he met Portel's
Brigade, and then marched to Hartsylle to
meet a federal force Of $500 going to the re-
lief of Springfield. The forces met at Harris
vile and desperate battle occurred The
enemy lad the advantage of the ground and
IL E-Ish. After four hours hard fighting
they were whipped and fed, leaving their dead
and wounded in our hands. Col Emmett
Mcdonald, Lt.-Col Wymer, and Major KirtDy
fell in this battle; three of the best officers, it
i said, in the Confederacy
From this place Gen. Marmaduke proceeded
to Batesvilie, which place he reached on the
18Th.
On this expedition 100 federals were killed,
$50 captured. and their loss in wounded was
very heavy. Our loss, in killed, wounded and
prisoners, Will not exceed 800.
