who then took command and retired to
Rolla, at which point he soon had re-

IN st. Louis. There the southern SYM
pathizers and men opposed to the
Union became so jubilant and unruly
that on Aug. 13 General Fremont
placed the city under martial law.
There were few skirmishes In Mis-
souri, at this time worthy Of notice.
At Potosi on Aug. 9 occurred a fight in
which thirty Confederates were re-
ported to have been killed. There
were also brushes at Georgetown on
aug. II, Fredericktown Aug. IL and
Charlestown Aug. IS, at which num-
Der of Confederate prisoners were
taken.
There were likewise few actions Of
minor Importance in the east. The
Confederate General Magruder burn
ed Hampton. Va. village in the vi
cinity Of Fortress Monroe, where
Union force had been stationed at
times. Inere are differences Of opinion
as to the motives Of Magruder's act.
One view is that he wanted to make
it impossible for the Federals to en-
camp there in future and another that
he was drunk and fired the village
from pure wantonness. On Aug.
occurred two engagements-one oppo-
site Point of Rocks, where three Con-
federates were killed, two wounded
and seven taken prisoners. and Mat
thias point, where force going ashore
from a Union gunboat were ambushed,
three being killed and one wounded

Activity In Virginia
After the victorious campaign OF
Mcclellan in western Virginia things
were quiet in that section for a time,
the only movement worthy of note
being an effort of the Union General
Cox to drive Ex-Governor Wise out of
the Kanawha valley. On Aug. 8 Gen
eral Rosecrans reported that this en-
deavor had been successful and the
Confederates had been expelled from
the valley. Five days later Captain

~IVE days before the battle of
FL Wilson's Creek occurred the
IN action at Athens, in the same
state. Athens is near the Iowa
line, in the northeast corner of Mis-
souri,. There Colonel David Moore was
encamped with a Union force of about
700. A junction of two Confederate
bodies under Colonel Martin D. Green
was effected, and the combined forces
marched on Athens. The size Of
Green's command is in dispute, the es
Inmates running all the way from 900
to 1900, but at any rate they were SUI
periOr to MoOre's troop, and in addi-
ton Green had artillery, which the
Union commander was without.
On the morning of Aug. the Con-
federates drove in the Union pickets
and opened an artillery fire, most of
the shots going over the heads Of the
Federals. A part of Colonel Moore's
men was across the Des Moines river
at the time, but filed over to the Mis-
souri, side with colors flying. Green's
men were armed with shotguns and
squirrel rifles for the most part, while
those under Moore had muskets and
were also better drilled than their foe.
The fight lasted two hours, when
Colonel Moore ordered his center to
charge bayonets. At this the Confed-
crates broke and ran, the Union troops
following for some distance The Union
commander estimated that his own
losses were twentythree and those of
the enemy more than thirty-one. The
Federals also captured many prisoners,
horses, arms and supplies. The victory
was important for its moral effect in
northern Missouri.
The situation in the state was some
what as follows: Late in July the con-
vention had met at jefferson City and

The nitre deposits were discovered
by Mr.. Howard and t!s partner,
Miles Lyons several weeks a go. but
they did not make any locations until
June 9th, after thoroughly prospect
ing rho ground and assuring them
selves that the whitish substance they
had found was really nitre. The de-
posts arc located in High Rock Can

west OF High Rock Lake, in Wash

north of Gelach. the nearest railroad
point. The purest nitre they have
yet found has been at places near the
bottom Of the steep rim rock which

miles. Nitre is also found in the
canyon bottom far a distance OF
about sixteen miles, but this nitre Is

less pure than that which has beer

says. has been sufficient to prove thai
the deposit is the largest ever dis

connection it may be stated that nitrs
is very valuable. the pure stuff being
