stock, asked the women in the institution
what they thought OF it. All declined to con.

Letter from a Migaourlan.

The subjoined letter is from resident
of southwestern Missouri, to a citizen of
this valley In the homely parlance of a
backa oodsman he tells some things which
may give our readers a clearer idea of the
inconvenience of war than that derived
from reading the news Of the day:
MANSFIELD, Mo-, Feb. "a, 1868.
= Six weeks AGO last
Thursday General Marmaduke (Rebel) at
tackled Springfield, With some 600 troops.
The ight began early in the morning and
lasted until after night The poor rebels
we're sadly disappointed by the report of
their spies, who had stated the Union for
ces at 100 fighting men at springfield; so
thepoor, hun-1y, barefooted, bareheaded,
naked, lazy, louzy scamps ran in on their
sore Backed horses in tie full belief that
they would get plenty of clothes, plenty to
eat, and procure fresh horses; but, alas,
they found as brave and good men as ever
handled a gun to meet them.
There were about 600 Enrolled Militia
that met them in battle and kept them at
bay the regular troops, " hat few there
we're, being relncvod to the fort, ard held
in reserve. 1t cost many of our boys their
lives,-I know not how many-peace to
their ashes.
The rebels retreated towards Marsfeld,
but were not pursued by the small force at
Springfield They came on to Sand Spring
and burned the fort and public stores
there. Sand Spring is situated six miles
n. w. of Mansfield, on the st. Louis road.
The militia stations at Mansfield nd Ha-
ziewood were destroyed by them, and
many public, and some private houses
which had public stores in them. They
stole all the horses which came in their
way and destroyed all the little forts in
the country In the meantime, about

April 27,-'The enemy has increased his force
along the heights at the back of Fredericksburg,

European News.
The Times and Daily .Ne,08 both expatiate on
the increasing irritation against England, on ac-
count Of their fitting out Confederate vessels, and
suggests the possibility Of our adopting retaliatory
measures.
The Times sees something to hope for in Am
erica from the Inauguration of Union Leagues in
the North, and the increasing demands among
Republicans for the restoration of the Union at
any nice
The Times says, European sympathy has been
wltnheld simply because lt was perceived that the
whole Southern people were in earnest about
their independence while it did not appear
that any one considerable part Of the North were
in earnest about emancipation.
In Poland affairs were again threatening, and
the inSurrection increasing. Peasants, nobility,
and middle classes had joined en- mqsse
1t is reported that TWO we'll known American
merchants, on the 9Th, arrived in London to dis
pose Of two millions sterling Of six per cent U. S.
bonds, and with part Of the proceeds buy vessels
building in England for the Confederates. 1t is
a.so report that they were authorized to nego
tate ten to twenty millions sterling. The Con-
federate loan had touched three per cent dis
count, but rallied tc one and-a-half.
The American Consul at Hamburg had refused
to attach his signature to a national document
bee use the names of Schroeder &, Co., who had
negotiated the Confederate loan appeared in the
document
The Union Emancipation Society Of Manchester
held meeting, protesting against the building of
war ships for the rebels, and adopted a memorial
calling on the Government to vndcate the honor
of England by stopping such proceedings.
The Polish insurrection is reported as increas-
ing in various directions. Sun1ry conflicts are re-
ported, with various successes.
The nobility Of St. Petersburg have adopted an
address to the Gar in favor Of the maintenance of
the integrity of the Empire at all cost.

him credit for it but zee, who know the youthful

chivalry which makes him side with the Federal

hope that uncle Abraham will torn his attention
