Rebel Raid into soushenst Missouri.
4 Federal FoYcs Driran Back Ten Niles, loit
a Loss Of Fifty Men.

| 4 Federal Force Drirsn Back Ten Miles, l5itI
Loss Of Fifty Msn.
| From tie St. Louis Republican April %
At late hour last night, telegraphic dispatch
es wore received from the Iron Mountain, By
! Central Davidson, at district headquarters, con
/ veying intelligence Of a new and mischievou.
/ raid, by q numerous rebel force, into Southeas
! Missouri The news received is substantially
/ as follows:
The rebels, fifteen hundred or two thousand
strong, under the leadership, Gs is supposed, Of
NaTmadul1e, after penetrating the State, passed
ct a distance from Bloomfield, where Gen. Me-
Neil is stationed, and, avoiding the garrisoned
points, appeared Unexpectedly in the vicinity OF
Patterson, a town in Wsne county, situated
about thirty five miles below Pilot Kuob.
The garrison of the place consisted Of four
hundred men of the I0th Missouri cavalry
under Col. Smart, including pickets stationed
some little distance below, under Major Wood
son. The lstter Officer was attacked and his
men driven in.
Col Smart thereon prepared to evacusta, sent
his wagon train Tesrwsrd, and destroyed such
public stores as he c0uld not remove. He
was attacked by the rebels and resisted them
with much resolution, they following him and
fighting for a distance of te1 mi 'es.
The FsdeTsl loss is reported a. about fifty
killed, wounded and missing, including Msjor
Mcdonald, gallant young officer, well known
ia this city during his service here as assistant
provost marshal, and afteTward IS a member of
the staff of Gen. f. P Blair. He was wounded,
it is reported, morially, and fell into the hands
of the enemy.
Co. Smart with the remainder Of his com
msnd is this mormug safe st Pilot Knob.
General Davidson, commanding the district,
went down to day to look after affairs in that
vicinity, and we doubt not that cavalry Tein-
forcements viii be sent thitber with ell dispatch,
should it appear that they are needed for the
pursuit of Msrmsduks and bis band.
Gen. MeNeil's force at Bloomfield IS said to
be Ineffective at present against MsrmadUke, as
it is separated by swollen streams from the
theater Of rebel operations.

Is THIS A TINE TO DANCEq

The breath Of evening sweeps the plain,
Aud sheds its perfume in the dell
But on its wings are sounds Of pain,
Sad tones that drown the echo's swell
Ard yet we hear a mirthful call,
Fair pleasure smiles with beaming glance,
Cav music sounds in tho joyous hall
Oh God Is this a time 20 dance
Sad notes, as If a spirit sighed
Float from the crimson battle plain,
As if q mighty spirit cried
In awful agony aad pain
Our friends we know there suffering lay,
Our brothers, too, perchance,
And in reproachful accents say
Loved ones is this time to dance
Oh lift your festaI robes on hight
The human gore that flows around
VIII stain their hues with crimson dye
And louder let your music sound
To drown the dying warriors cry
Let sparkling wi2e your Joy enhance,
Forget that blood has tiBged its dye
And quicker urge the maniac's dance,
But stop the floor beneath your feet
Gives back a coffin's hollow moan,
And every strain OF music sweet,
fts forth dying soldiers g-oan;
ers who have brothers dear
sed TO every battles chance,
= lark Remorse no forms Of fear,
70 ight you from the heartless dance
Go fling your festal robes awayi
Go don the mourner's sable veil
Go bow before your God and pray
II yet your prayers may aught avail.
Go face the fearful form Of Death
And trembling meet his chiding glance,
And then. for once, with truthful breath,
Answer, Is his time 10 dance

an Alleged Rebel GuubOat seized by tEe
British AUisorEfIes.


From the Liverpool Post April q
The town was rather startled yesterday
(1Ionday) morning by an announcement that
an American war vessel had been seized in the
Liverpool docks. It seems that on Sunday Mr.
Morgan, one Of her Majesty's custom survey
ors, took possession Of a small gUnboat the
Alexandra, in the Toxteth dock, and launched
very recently from the ship building premises Of
Msssrs. Miller g. Co. Mr.. Morgan acted on in
structioHs received by Mr.. Price Edwards, the
collector Of customs, from the government, who
had reason TO believe that the Alexandra was
being fitted for the service Of the ConfsdeTates.
The matter viii be fully investigated by the
law and other officers Of the Crown before any
proceedings are taken beyond the mere detsu-
ton Of the vessel. The Alexandra is a small
screw steamer, built Of wood, for, we are told,
Messrs. Faweett. Preston & Co.
