will be hard to make up history, when referring 70
Prices INVASION correctly in the light OF the present
conflicting accounts.
The arrival of the rebel Generals Marnaduke
and Cabel with FIVE colonels. sixty other COMMITS
stoned officers and about eight hundred prlvates OF
Prices army who were captured heretofore stated,
created quite sensation among the seeessionlsts,
who could not and would not believe that any such
disaster the one referred to had happened. The
disgraeeful part Of the business the treatment
accorded to Marmaduke and Cabell and the five
colonies. They were taken TO Barnum's Hotel with
out guard and allowed the liberty of the hotel on
parole not TO escape. Here ut tirst-class hotel,
they lived like princes receiving their friends and
putting innumerable airs. The event created
such Indignation among Union men that they were
hustled of the day after their arrival to Johnson
island. The idea that these robbers and murderers
who have desolated the State wherever they have
been should be thus treated, is bitter wormwood
to Union men.
The rebel army has been driven from the State
but there are many hundred bushwhackers and
gaer1Illas who vet remain Bill Andersons gang is
still at large, and s said to be commended by fell
low named Jackson, who Is worthy successor in
the scalping Of prisoners and other cruelties
mttcd by the busliwhackeTs. An energetic move
ment has been made in North Missouri to clean out
the guerrllas from that section early possible.
General Craig left st. Joseph several days ago with
about two thousand mounted militia for a raid on
the rebels in Platte and Clay counties. Colonel
Shanklin, from Chillcothe and other officers from
the line of Hannibal and st. Joseph railroad, are
afterthe rebels also; and the fur has begun to fly
one
majority of the local loyal n,iiia who have many
eases been driven from their homes by the rebels
There is concealment of the fact that they mean
TO be revenged their secession IHighbors, who
have pointed them out to the rebels "a Union men ;
and many of these sympathizers, who welcomed
Price with their whole heart will have to bite the
dust. This retaliation has commenced already in
many counties, and the Copperhead journals have
set up dismal howl in consequence. OF course
when rebels hit the Mcclellan party suffers, but
it makes difference. Missouri belongs to the
loyal men, and the rebels whether they call them
selves such or are simply Copperheads, have got TO
leave IL. Their time has come, and they Will
much blood by leaving quietly without waiting for
further warning.

TIE NEWS FROM surRuAx's CAMPAIGN.

A telegram from Nashville, Tennessee, gives the
following about the campaign of Sherman and how
he is to devour Hood. 1t is dated the Gth and says
will try to telegraph you the news and rnmors
suhjoined:
Sharp fighting Mt Johnsonville, Tennessee. Twelve
transports and four giInboats destroyed. Johnson
vile may possibly be evacuated Its loss will not
endanger the State, but be annoying only.
Sherman has made startling and bold movement,
which will change the course of the campaign and
render Atlanta OF strategic importance Ru-
mors prevail that Atlanta was to be evacuated
yesterday by our troops, who would first totally
destroy 1t by tire, and return to Chattanooga,

As to Johnsonvile, there is no doubt. The dam

moved 10 a considerable extent, but, on the other
