Samber or Price's Army and His Losses. Tnlon Losses and Result or the Campa'gJ. XCorreapondence of the Misouri' Republican St. Lous, Nov. 10, 18G4. Since the month of May last it was well understood that Price would in- vade Missouri, but it was believed that the militia, assisted by whatever troops could be 6pared from Arkansas, would be sufficient to either repel him or pre- vent him from inflicting any consider- able amount of damage in tbe State, for almost all the troops then under. Major General Rosecrans were ordered awsy to assist Sherman in Georgia. This, as a matter of course, left General Rosecrans pretty much at the mercy of circumstances, and he was obliged to do the best he could, and reap honor or dishonor with very dull tools, lie had five important posts and depots to protect, viz: St Louis, Pilot Knob, Kolla, Springfield and Jefferson City. Price had at least 20,000 (some esti- mates place his force at 25,000) effec- tive men, with, three hundred wagons of ammunition, and eight pieces of artillery. lie crossed the Arkansas in perfect safety, under a diversion made in his favor by Shelby, behind Steele, and concentrated at Batesville. From that poini, there were three routes of invasion : through West Plains to Rolla ; by Pocahontas to Pilot Knob, or up White River to Springfield. lie chose that by Pocahontas, perhaps, because it led more directly to St. Louis, as it has already been demonstrated by the battle in the Arcadia Valley that Price was there with his main force, if not his entire army, and intended dashing upon this city. lie could strike either St. Louis or Rolla, once at Pilot Knob, and the ad di lion&l advantage may have decided him to invadoby the Pocahontas route. Every preparation that could was made, but it was evident to the General com- manding that assistance must be Lad from without, and he requested that the division under Major General A. J. Smith, juct arrived at Cairo, on his way to.Georgia, be sent to Missouri. This was complied with, aad the 3d Division, lGlh Army Corps, waa eent up to Jeffer- son Barracks just about the time Price was entering the State. Generals Wash- burn, at Memphis, and Steele, at Little Rock, had earlier information of Price's movements than General Rosecrans, so the former ordered Mower'a division, including 2,500 cavalry under Colonel Winslow, from Memphis to Duvall's Bluff, to succor Steele and follow Trice. As soon as Sanborn reached Rolla, he and McNeil were ordered to Jeffer- son City, as was Fisk, so that when Price . reached the Oiage Bridge, he found before him the combined forces of those officers, and adequate defenses to hold the city against any attack he could make, lie forced the passage of the Osage, and demonstrated on the capital, tut finding it more defensible than he anticipated, he turned his forces westward, and hastened to Booneville. , : General Fisk was the ranking officer at JtfiVrsonCity, and might have made a better thine of his opportunity, if he had had suiheient military skull and experience to sally forth and attack Price as he retreated. Fortunately, at this time Pleasonton arrived and aa? umed command, lie sent Sanborn out on the pursuit at once, and waited tic?1!! . IBER Cloths, Leather ALEXANDER HOOP ScKolarship'flQ. Glassware, for Winslow'a cavalry, to pursue in per- son. Price reached Booneville with Sanborn on hia rear. He crossed the Lemoine, burned the bridge, and then went to Glasgow, where he gobbled up Colonel Harding, and part of his regi ment, the 4.5d, twelve months men. As soon as Price appeared in South- east Missouri, it was not certain what route he would take, or whether he would divide his v force, but it was at onoe determined by General Rosecrans to occupy the whole length of Iron Mountain Railroad, and to prevent get- ting around and striking SL Louis The stores at Pilot Knob were saved and sent hither by General Ewing, and that officer instructed to hold the ene- my long enough to determine if his whole force was there As soon as this was ascertained McNeil, at Rolla, and Sanborn, at Springfield, were ordered to gather in all their property, and the latter to take all his cavalry to Rolla, and to make such necessary levies as the dituation demanded. In the mean time, Brown was ordered to concentrate with Fisk at Jefferson Ciiy, and place it in a state of defence, for the enemy's main force was ascertained to be mov- ing on it as rapidly us possible. And now commenced the brilliant cavalry operations of Major General Pleasanton. The cavalry, about 8,000 strong, with eight Rodman guns, were concentrated at Sedalia, and on the morning of the 17tb of September, he plactd himself at tier head, and com- menced the pursuit. The movem.nt would ha.ve taken place sooner but that the troops had to be marched overland, owing to the low stage of water in the Missouri They reached the line of the Black water, having marched by way of Jefferson City and Tipton, and felt for the enemy in the direction of Marshal, Wftverly and Lexington. After a severe day's march, A. J. Smith also reached the line of the Bhck water, and was in supporting dis- tance of Pleasanton on the 20th; but tho latter, finding the enemy gone, by a rapid march, reached Wellington on the 21st, and Smith reached Lexington the same morning. The action of the pursuit became more eventful at this time, for the ene- my had reached the Blue River, and seemed determined to contest its pa sage. He had three guns in position, and received Pleasanton's advance with a determined fire. Two brigades San- born's, and McNeils were thrown for-- , ward, and a charge made upon the enemy's lines. He yielded after a Ions of three guns and a number of prison- ers. He was driven through Indep & -- dence, where he left his Wounded, and several dead unburied. Brown's and Winslow's brigades coming up, were or- dered to take the advance. Winslow engaged the enemy all night, fighting him over six miles of road. Brown was ordered to attack in the morning. This he failed to do, and was relieved, and his command transferred to Col Phil- lips. He opened the attack, and a tight Of five hours at Barry's Ford took place, resulting in the enemy being forced to retreat on the Harrisonville road. The divisions of Marmaduke and Fagan were engaged. Shelby wa3 engaging Blunt While this was going on, the inf in . try, under Major General A. J. Smith, had marched to Chapel Hill in order to strike the enemy's line of retreat, as it was believed to be southward by way of Hickman's Mills. It waa expected that he would move so rapidly that Smith would have to go still further down, but early in the afternoon Smith received dispatches requiring him to assist Pleasanton at Independence, ar.d it Was believed by all that Price would give battle thereabouts. Smith started and arrived at Independence "at 5 o'- clock P. M., on the 23d, too late, of course, to get a hand in, for Price did not give battle, and Pleasanton had al- ready driven him south on tho Tort Scott road. ' . Shelby was driving Blunt toward Kansaa City, but the line he moved on lay across that of Pleasanton, and brought the latter on his right flank, compelling him to turn southward, on the Fort Scott Road, vigorously pur- sued. That night headquarters were at New Santa Fe. A messenger arriv- ed from McNeil, to say that the ene- my's entire force was moving south, but he was unable to do any thing more than skirmish. Smith ? moved Lack to Hickman's Mills, and reached it at" 2 o'clock, A. M., on the 21th. At daybreak Curtis started Blunt in the advance, on the Fort Scott road, and marched fifty-on- e miles, when find- ing the enemy only ten or twelve milM ahead, he let Pleasanton take the ad vance. The next morning, 2.3th, Plea- santon slipped upon the enemy's camp and found it steeped in slumber. He open 1 at once with all his artillery, and threw his missiles into its mid-- t A perfect panic ensued. The alarmed soldiers sprang from their sleep, deep- ened by over marching and fatigue, and rushed for. their arms, but the shower of shot and shell grew thicker and more frequent, for Pleasanton had ta- ken pains to ascertain the position of the camp, and knew exactly where to rake it The enemy fled without even a show of resistance, leaving one gun, twenty wagons lull of plunder, and burned thirty others, besides leaving over four hundred head of sheep and cattle. The road south was strewed for some distance with equipage, and every thing betokened the precip- itancy of the retreat Pleat aiton fal- lowed closely, and compelled them to stand , at Mine Creek, or else run the risk of capture. Marmaduke's and Fagin's divisions, supported by eight guu3, were thrown into position, and for the first time a battle, in the strict sense, seemed imminent. Pleasanton had pursued with such rapidity that he distanced his artillery. Fora,rnoment it seemed that heliad overreached himself, but his men were eager to fight Time could not be wasted, for evevy moment waa precious to the enemy, aDd that decided him to attack, come weal come woe. The charge was sounded. The enemy's lines looked as though six .times as deep andJ.long as Pleat anton, but hia men were impetuous, and went into the charge solid and compact The enemy's lines broke at once, and did not attempt to reform. Marmaduke headed his column and tried to rally it but wa captured while trying to save the train; He had advised 1'rica to burn it at Independence, and foretold evil consequence from attempting lo ive it, but became himself the victim of his own fear. 1,000 prisoners and 1,50J stand of arms, together with the eight-guns- ,' completed the victory of tha25UL It now became perfectly apparent that the infantry never couli reac'a Price, therefore, RosecraW ordered Smith to Warrensburg to obtain sup- plies and ammunition, awaiting him. there. The property was gathered up on . the way, and the point reached m due tima. Pleasanton rested some on the night of the 25th, and resumed the pursuit until be brought the enemy to a final uund on th Marias des Cygnes, where, after a sharp encounter, thejenemy was . compelled to blow up his artillery and ammunition, and burn two hundred wagons, and obliged to retreat below Fort Scott, where Pleasonton gave over the pursuit The losses oa either side are not officially known yet, but intelligent officera who took part in the entire campaign, estimate them as follows : Price's total loss, 3.750 in killed, arid wounded. In prisoners, 2.900. This is reliable, for that number ii reported officially. His killed and wounded in- clude 1,500 at Pilot Knob, 100 at JeflVr-so- n City, 250 at Booneville, and 1,000 in other battles ar.fl engagement, dow n to the last, on Marias des Cygnet . The LJnion loss in killed and wound- ed is estimated at S30. About SuO pris- oners were taken ; but the enemy not being able to hold them, placed them under parole-Curti- s took up the pursuit after Pleasanton desisted, but the result of his operations mu3t be left until it is mora definitely understood, and more tacts regarding it are produced. Significant Message or Cor. Brov.n, of tit;or;la. Governor Brown, of Georj'a, in his message, eays: I am satisfied that a large majority of the people in this State disapprove of many of the acts and much of the policy of the Confed erate Administration. We should keep constantly in view, the great principles upon which we entered into the une- qual contest, and should rebuke every encroachment made upon Uiem by our own Government We have made fear- ful strides since the war began to a centralized government with unlimited powers. Governor Brown .advocates estate sovereignty, and for the State ne- gotiating her own terms of peace. He says we shcuU I .tand ready at all times t o settle the difficulty, by reference of the question of future alliance to the States whose positions may be doubtful, for determination by them in their sover- eign capacity. This point is argued at much length. . He discusses the quesa tion of blockade-runnin- g, and suovvs how tha Government has interfered with it, and insists upon certain concessions. He then makes some statements regard- ing the financial condition of the S;ate. Concerning the railroads, he says ': The loss of engines and cars have been heav y. The raid under Gen. Sherman destroyed seventeen passenger cars, thirty freight cars, four engines and eighteen cars which were in government employ. They were destroyed by order of Hood, to prevent their filling into the hands of tbe enemy. The Confederate Gov- ernment owes the road S37,0'X),774,02. I have mde every effort in my power to collect this, but not successfully. He complains of conscription and impress- ment laws. He says the Confederate Government prohibits the citizens of Georgia from selling supplies, the pro- duction of their own State, when States need tho production, aud is ready to pay just compensation for them. Th'13 m.ikes it exceedingly uiLucuit ior our Quartermasters and Commissaries in the State to procure supplies absolute- ly necessary for the State troops in- digent exiles and others supported by the State, The officers of tho State, during the past summer, were driven out of her markets and obliged to go to Alabama to purchase corn, and im- port at heavy expense. In regard to guerrillas, he siys: Eandsof de&ertcn from our armiet, aad sna l bodies of cavalry belonging to the Confederate service, are continually ro&oing ana nlunderinz our peole. I recommend an act declaring all such outlaw.-- , and authorizing persona whom they may at- tempt to rob to shoot them down or slay them in any other way in their power. Governor Brown favors the ue of negroes in every way except as soldiers. A Base Trick. ted on. some months atro. by an agent of Mr. J'. T.

X. Y. Tribnt. a Little 11 oroide. Some time lastmonth a soldier named Wheatley, belonging to tbe Ot.e Hun- dred and Seventy-fourt- h, died witn fe- ver in the hospital at Nashville, Tennes- see, and was buried in tho military graveyard near that city. In another of the hospital waa a son who had been badly wounded, but who was all to hobble along after hU father's remains to its final renting place. In Milford, Ohio, lived two motherless children, a young girl and her little brotaer, who were now left parentis by the death r.rilipie father in Xashville. This eifl had received a letter from her wounded . brother that their father ws very ill and perhaps they wouid never loo up- on him in life again. The girl took her little brother to an aunt s retilence, and immediately stout upon a journey without any knowledge of the country or the dirlvreut modes of travel, and with scarcely means enough ta buy f 1 along the road hhe arrived in this citr- on tho cars on last Wednesday, aiid Lieutenant Enoch and Capt. Biaino Marshall humanely transported her safely over the Nashville railroad to sea her poor father and brotLer. But alas! when she arrived in Nashville she foua i that her fther ha-- l did, and that his form waa lying among the countless sleepers who had aacriiced their lives ia timirvmntrr'i cause. Hue souzht that grave alone, and bent her littla form over the new mad mound and wept tears that eyes like her's alone could waep, and sighed that she might look up on h:s image once again, hhewaaanor phan now, and who was there, save th Kje of the AllSx-i- u and watchful maker of us all, who pitied the fate of taut poor, parectlesa orphan girl, weep- ing over the grave of her father. Alas! who seemed to care. Returning from her visit to the grave, with her bright and beautiful eyes dimmed with tears of sorrow, she spied her wounded brother on the way bock to the front; she clung to him as if death had sealed the embrace forever, and her kisses were the last tributes of love which s:he could 'give him. In half aa hotir they were separated He going with the soldiers to the front, and she left :tlone iu a strange city, miles away from friends or home. That tender em- brace, that fond and affectionate kiss of love, that sid hour of parting and mournful word good bye, all may have been the last. They may never meet again. The brave young girl arrived in this city ye.-terda- y, and left for home in the evening. She is but fourteen years of age, hfr face and form is pret- ty, and her eyes and hair as black as a raven's wing. She is very intelligent indeed, for a girl of her aga, and the look of sympathy and the story of her unfortunate siuatibn in life, brought mauy a tear from the eyes of those who stood around and looked upon the sad countenance of that brave and beauti-- . ful girl, whose oarless bark was about to drift out upon the reckless billows of the dark sea of life. May Heaven watch over aud guide the footsteps of of the poor orphan Mary Wheatly. LiC'U. UtvnocraL Jefferson Davis s Talk. The Rebel Congress met in Richmond oa Monday, and received the usual ad dress ttoai ilr. Jeuerson Uavis. it is a rather mild document, Mr. Davis hav ing apparently recovered from the fren- zy of frankness into which he fell on Lis late Southern tour. At present he wears a face of cheerfulness, and whis tles with shrill irood spirits through three columns or so of a dingily print- ed Richmond paper. He rejoices, as he has reason, over successes in the trans-Mississip- De- partment; the reconqueet and for some time permanent occupation of Texas, great part of Arkansas, and nearly all Louisiana. On this side the great river there is less to boast of, but the parts of Mississippi, Northern, Alabama and Western Tennessee, ia rather loosely affirmed. It is alleged that all incursions upon the seaboard have been prevented, save at Mobile; that Grant has vainly tried four months to taite Petersburg-- , that Sheridan had to burn the SUenandcah Valley be- cause bo could not Hold it; that the capture of Atlanta ha3 proved a barren conquest to Saermasi. Mr. Davis) con- siders that the small results obtained by the tossessiou of Atlanta ought to con vince the Southern people that no place is of much real military importance, and he soberly seeks to persuade them ihat.vAn Richmond may be surren dered cuetrfuilv.

A scheme is submitted for giving value t the outstiudini? treasury notes, to called, of the Rebel Government but we leave the consideration of that to thrt comic journals. Touching the conduct of the war, Mr. Davis is of opinion that too many men are still exempt.-- from the con-sjr.pti- on, that a general militia law is needed though under the central ay tern of Richmond it is difficult to see what is left to bi included in militia, unless it be the womeu of the Southern -- jutG3 and that further consolidation of depleted regiments should be effect- ed. Military supplies aad provisions are declared to be abundant The treatment of prisoners is ad- verted to, and this man has the efi l'rontery to re-a- t the lie that rebels in our hand sutler from want of ade- quate faod. c'mbing and fuel, but not even h has the eftronUry to deny the hon-ib- l accounts of the cruelty, the robbing, the Marving, the murdering of our brave aolditrs in Southera prisons.

Abolition Principles la the Confed- eracy. The Richmond Whig, in comment- ing on Jeff Davis' message, makes au inexorable logical point against hia pro- position to emancipate the black sol- diers who serve faithfully through the. war. The Whif says that from ' this is clearly dedacible the doctrine tL&t freedom is so much better for the negro than slavery, that it may be bestowed on him as a reward of merit which is a repudiation of the Southern doctrine that slavery is a divinely appointed in- stitution for the highest good of the negTO, and is knocking ou. tie bottom from the corner-ston- e of the Southern Empire. If slavery is a divinely appointed as Southern ministers preach, would it not be flying in the face of Providence to free the negroes after Providence through them ha given success to the cause of slavery? If it is a blessing to the negro, way should it be takeu from him because he ha faithfully served and saved the rebel cause? If it is vastly better that the negroes should have thecarand guard- ianship of their masters, than to b turned out to the orphanage of liberty as their masters and the Northern Dem ocratic flunkies argue, why sh u d they be deprived of their guardiansuip be cause they have merited their master's gratutude ? If slavery is a blessing to the blacks, why should they not have more of it if they fight well for their masters? If it i not a blessing, the very foundation of slavery is dropvd out &nd the question then comes up, what right ha the master to hold tho aeero? iu Whig scents abolition in this, and no wonder. It contains the very head and front of abolitionism. But the next point it makes against Mr. Davis' proposition, is that it asserts the power of the Confederate Government to emancipate the slaves in the States by the process of impressing and then freeing them. The Whig justly says that this goes further than Abraham Lincoln ever went, for his scheme of compensated emancipation referred the mitter to the States. And it pronoun- ces this the assertion of the right in the Confederate Government to exter- minate slavery, for all the slaves may ba manumitted by this process, and tie assertion of it to any extent as- sert the principle. The Whig naturally draws the infer- ence that if the Confederate Govern- ment can abolish slavery in the Con- federate States, the National Govern- ment can in the United States, and that tais proposition disarms all the Demo- cratic denunciation of this measure a? in violation of the Constitution. It i pleasing to see this rebellion which was to found an empire tvhse corner stone should be slavery, result- ing in abolition principles and mea- sures, and destroying iu own cans.. Who will now dispute the radical prop- osition that the causa of the rebellion must be destroyed, since the Confeder- ate leaders are in thi poli- cy? Cin. Gittc. A "ew and Remarkable Rifle. Colonel Berdan, of sharp-shootin- g fame, has invented a rifle of a niont remarkable description. It was lately tested at Utica with other rifles of the mot approved kind. Mr. James, him self an unsurpassed shot, was present with onrt of his best heavy rifle with telescopic sight Colonel Berdan's rill wa externally an ordinary United States Springfield rifl, with a simple breech-loadi- ng attachment The tar get was placed at the extreme distance of twelve hundred yard, and, after firing two or three preliminary shoi s to get the range, Colonel Berdan sighting with the eye alono, without telescopic aid, struck the bull's eye five times out of six shots, and then gave place to Mr. James, who fired at the target f r aevtral hours without being able to reach it-h- shots invariably falling two or three hundred yards short. At the end of thi time h gave, up tu- - contest, admitting that his rul i could not compete with Colonel Berdan's at such long range. When it is remem- bered the breech-loade- rs have Litar-t- o been wholly ineffective at long ranges, it will be seen how great a rei-lutio- n in firearms this fact foreshadows. The penetrating power of the gun was then tested against a target ccn-istin- g of thirty-on- e inch boards, fix?d in a frame, one behind the other, wifk inch space between them. Mr. James' rifl penetrated eleven of tliese ; Colo- nel Berdan's twenty nine, and struck in the thirtieth; the Springfield ruuflcet penetrated eleven, Sharp's rifle thirteen, the Spencer repeaU-- r thirteen. Colonel Berdan's invention comprises: First new and almpl and ingen ous breech loading apparatus; second, a new form of rifling the barrel and cartridge chamber; third, an ntirely new form of ammunition or cartridge, which ena- ble it to pas through the barrel with- out any change of form or loss of power by friction, and which eliable the sol- dier to use at tfescretion a tingle ball for long range, or thre or more round balls for close volley firing, with equal effect Military Kxeentlon Six Guerrilla hnoU In with ireneral order is sued by Gen.
