Nothing has been heard from Pilot Knob
since IL o'clock yesterday forenoon, when Big
River bridge. about fifty miles from here, was
burned by the rebels, since which commune
cation has been cut off. Up to that time Gen.
Ewing had successfully repulsed the attacks of
the enemy, and succeeded in sending two
trains OF commissary stores away. At last
accounts it was believed Ewing could main
tain his position, unless assailed by overwhelm-
ing numbers, or unless the enemy should plant
cannon on Shepard Mountain and other emf
nences which command our Notifications. He
has plenty Of provisions and good supply of
water.

train Of fifty empty wagons was sent
from Pilot Knob yesterday morning to Miner

communication was cut, and it is supposed
they were captured.
1t is now believed that the demonstrations
on Pilot Knob and Iron Mountain are feints
to cover the movement of Prices main force
in another direction, probably against Rolla
and thence to the central part Of the State.
1t is also believed that Shelby's cavalry will
make a desperate effort to dash into st. Louis,
in the same way that Forrest dashed into

day morning on the Northern Missouri Rail-
road, was captured at Centralia by Bill An
