catious commanding the approaches to the
town have been improved aud are guarded
night and day By State militia. For while
these eatthworks were allowed to crumble

Of Springfield. Tic necessity Of being pre-.
pared for the enemy has been realized. BY q

command at Springfield and rcpelled the rebel
attack is in command here now-Gcu. Esberi
