AVl.tu the jrain stopped we could not, on nV.-count of damage to eornc part of the rnm;in;r n.ithin'Ty, draw the train out of the fire, the engine leging in the rear. We left the cars and retired to the right and left of the train, through the woods. Finding that the enemy's latteries were t stained ly uha: appeared to le a regi ment of infantry and cat airy, which force tvuhave tir.ee understood to le 1,600 S. Carolina troops, we fell lack along the jailroad, throwing out skirmishers on loth llanks. This wa3 about 7 P. M. Thus we retired dowly, bearing off our tyound f d for five miles to this point, which we reached at 10 o'clock. The following in a list of the casuali tics: In Capt. Hazlett's compady II., to known to le killed, three wounded, and five missing. Capt. Bailey's com pany (i., three killed, two wounded, and two tnisf-ing. Capt. Paddock's company K., one officer, tlighlly wounded. Com pany C, Capt. Pease, two missing. The engineer, when the men left the cars, instead of retiring tlowly, as I or dered, detached In3 engine with one pas fengcr car from the rest of the disabled train and alandoncd us, running to Alex andria, and we have heard nothing from him r inre. Thus we were deprived of a rallying point, and of all means of con veying the wounded w ho had to be carried on litters and blankets. We wait here, holding the road, for reinforcements. The enemy did not pursue. I have ascertained that the enemy's force at Fairfax Court House, four miles from Vienna, is now about 4,000. When all the enemy's batteries opened upon us, Major Hughey was at his 6tation on the foremost platform of the car; Col Mc Cook was with me in one of the passen ger, car?. Iioth of these officers, with others of the commissioned officers, and many of the men, behaved most coolly un der this galling fire, which we could not Hank, or turn from the nature of the c round; The approach to Vienna is J through a deep cut in the railroad. In I Jeavtng the cars, and before they could i ally, many of my men lost their haver sacks and blankets, but brought off all their muskets, oxcept it may be, a few that were destroyed by the enemy's first fire, or lo:-t with the killled.

At the time of going to press last week ve" had no authentic pews from the then rumored fight at Boonville, Mo. The ac count as taken from the St. Louis papers wo here present to our readers, by which it will be seen the traitors were "routed home, fort and dragoon" and the Prince of rebels, Claib Jackson left for parts un known: Jrirtasojr Citt, June IS. . Boonville was taken by the Feberal troops' after a short but sharp cannonade; that tho loss on the part of the State u wy-t was uuuui inrce hundred, to twcxity or thirty on the tide, or the Federal troops, and that Gov. Jackson has fled. LATER. Jefferson City, June 18. Tho United States troops, under Lyon, took a position near Boonville and opened a brisk cannonade on the enemy. After a Miort time, the State troops rctrcatod m good order from the city, and scattered themselves in companies through tho ad joining woods for the purpose of carrying on a gucrilliu warfare. Lyon seeing the movement, ojdered a hasty retreat to the steamboat, which had the effect of calling the State troops out into the open field, and collecting them for a united attack. As foon as tney were all drawn up in tank and file in the open field, Lyon com manded his troops to advance m double quick time and form into line in front of the enemy, taking all their cannon with them. lie then opened a murderous fire on. the State troops, which had the effect of confusing and dispersing them in a very few minutes. They lied in every direction, leaving over one hundred dead on the battle field. Governor Jackson witnessed the affair about a mile distant, end seeing the result, fled in a carriage. General Price had previously been taken tick and was unable to participate in the management of the battle. There is great rejoiceing over the news just now nt tbo headquarters in this city. A wag on load of powder was to-day discovered ly the l S. troops on Christy Watson's farm, three miles from here, and hauled away to the headquarters. It forms part of the powder secreted ly the State troops five or six weeks ago. . Important from Jefferson Cltf- Cvndidiion of the State Government. The Departments Scaled. Intending rat' ticulars. JtrrERsox City, June IS. Lest there should be any misapprehen sion among the people in regard to the condition of the State Government, I will state the following, facts: All the depart ments of the State Government have been sealed or are about to be sealed. The Auditor's clerks will proceed to po?t the 1As of hii department without molesta tion. ' The Treasurer has, in the presence of several prominent citizens and the commander of the place, deposited all his bouk papers, &.C., in the safe, locked and scaled it and then surrended it to the cuKody of Col. Boerr.stein, taking the key? and seal with him. This was done with a view to avert all sy?p:cion that the United States troops had uoc'uly inlet fer td with the State Government. Mr. Mcrritcn, Slate Treasurer, was arrested at Hermann and brought to this city as a prisoner. No money was found upon him and he was rcleait-d after the trraiiement aiove reierrcu iu xau consummated. Capt. Jefferson T. Isers, Paymaster cf the South Wcit Expedition, was also arrested : his trunk wa3 search- 1 r . . I . ln. I C'fi CiC irt in drafti end checks of the Sutr. On be ing aiked what he proposed to do with the money, he taid it wa3 intended for the payment of the Southwest Expedition. It was then proposed that some one be chosen who should see that the money arrhed for tnat purpose ana none was other. Both parties agreed upon the Hon. Thomas L. Price. Mr. Price's con sent was obtained, and he took all the pa pers, drafts, &c, of Captain Rogers, who will proceed to distribute the ready money, under the act cf the Legislature, for the paying cf the Southwest Expedition, in company with Mr. Price. Captain Rog ers was thereupon released. Upon examining the papers. Mr. Price found there was a check for S15.00 on the State Bank of Missouri, and that the remainder of the money wa.sin warrants. Of course the warrants cannot be convert ed into ready money for the present. In regard to the check, Mr. Price aicertain ed from the State Treasurer that he had executed it at a time when there was on ly about 87,000 in the bank, thereby nominally overdrawing to the amount of 88,00. He at once prevailed upon the Treasurer to take up his own check and five him 615,000 in Missouri bank bills. These 815,000 will be applied to the pay ment of the men who va!nnteered in the Southwest Expedition,. the expenses for outfits, Sec, being considered next in order, and having to be defrayed cut of the war rants above referred to. As soon as Capt. Rogers has his books arranged, Mr. Price will proceed to satis fy each claim, and it may be well to sug gest that no volunteer need henceforth sell his claim for fear it should not be paid. I understand that there are about 810,000 in the Fayette Bank to the credit of the Treasurer, a circumstance wnich corroborates the statement of Mr. Mor rison when he was arrested, namely, that he had in all about 875,000 in the Treasury. Insnrrcctlon at the Pcnitcntlarr- Attempt of Prisoners to Escape. Three or Four Insurgents Shot. Jiffebson Citf, June 18. A desperate attempt was made this af ternoon by the prisoners in the Peniten tary to b'reak the walls and force their way out. They had all dined together as usual in the hall, and were about io be conducted to their respective cells by the guards, when, by some previously concerted plan, they rushed upon the lat ter and completely suddued them, lhey then poured out into the prison yard and commenced breaking a hole in the wall, when they were discovered by the soldiers stationed without, who instantly gave the alarm. In less than ten minutes four companines of United States troops had arrived at the spot. They encompassed the prison, sealed the walls, and shot downone of the convicts who was about to force himself through the hole. Two or three others were wounded. After which they were all driven back at the point of the bayonet into their cells and secured. Not one escaped. Washington, June 22. A special dispatch to the Commercial says Senator Johnson of Tennessee, paid a visit this morning to leading officials, and was warmly received. The adminis tration is highly pleased with the manly and vigerous attitude of Mr. Johnson. Beauregard is evidently making pre parations for advancing. It is understood that some cf the Southern troops are jeal ous of their State designation and do not respond with much Illacity to their oflioov-a orders. Senator Johnson ha" arrived here he was fired upon when passing through Cumberland Gap, but is uninjured he says the Tnion men in Last Tennessee wil imitate the action of Western Virginia and cut loose from rebellious authorities and fight for the Union. Gen. Scott had been asked by Western men to order the retreat of Gen. Cad wallader across the Potomac the old hero replied it's all right, all right. l ou will say so three months hence." New York, June 22. Reports from Washington says the Navy will be doubled in size as soon as possible. Secretary Welles will recom mend heavy appropriations for buying war vessels. The President will call for at least 300,000 men, in the aggregate, and money to correspond. Congress will, at an early day, suspend the writ of habeas corpus whenever there is any organized rebellion and the judg ment of the President is it should be sus peuded, the suspension of course being temporary. A gentleman who has recently return ed from Richmond states that when he left, there were only about 5,000 troops encamped there. Troops were arriving and going through to Mannassas and Harper's Ferry, at the rate of 1,500 or 2,000 daily. New York, June 24. The World's dispatch states latest ad vices continue to represent it the intention of Beauregard to advance cn the Federal lines. Yesterday was the day fixed on for a movement on Washington. The Government is satisfied of this and has ascertained that an extensive spy sys tem is m operation for the benefit of the rebel Government. Letters have been sent daily from Washington south by per sons who are here to watch operations of Government. Prof. Lowe takes his balloon down to Fall's Church to-day. He will make an ascent to-morrow morning and take a view of the rebels camp at Fairfax. The Tribune's dispatch says that Balti more is quiet on the surface is profound ly agitated underneath is only held in check by by fear at any indication cf an outbreak. Major Gen Banks will without doubt shell the city from fort Mcllenry. He is the man to obey his crdors to the very letter. Provisions are crowing excessively scarce at Harper's Ferry. Washington, June 21. The Tawnee on her cruise down the river seized 10,000 pounds of tacon and other stores destined for the secession ists. OfHcers of the army say thit ur.Icss a collision occurs before to-morrow even ing there is little chance of any taking place at any time. There is a confirmed conviction here that the rebeli are out flanked and must fighter surrender. This morning the rebels were concen trating a large force at Fairfax Court House. Every movement indicates an attack on our lines in a shert time. It is beleiied that General Beauregard can concentrate CO0CO troops at any given point within a week. Undoubtedly he Las forces at command and it i.j not im probable that he will be forced to mate a speedy ad trance movement. To-day advices have been recieved from the Conneticut troop3 near Vienna. No new movements have taken place. Our troops in occupation of Vienna are fully prepar ed for any attack. Washington, June 18. Frofessor Lowe, today ascended in a balloon, taking up a telegrapher and in struments, sending messages while in the air. It is ascertained that about 23,000 rebels are at Manassas under Gen. Beau regard, and that they are nearly starved. Jeff Davis was there yesterday. HIE ADVERTISER, Europe and America. The Paris correspondent of the New ark Daily Advertiser says: "I was yesterday shown a private let ter from Frankfort containing a state ment that a Regiment of Volunteers is being organized in Germany, whose ser vices are to be offered to the government of the United States. Meantime several of the French officers who recently appli ed to the United States Legation at Prais and were informed that the Minister had no authority to accept their services, have determined to leave for America, and trust to chance for employmen when they arrive at their destination. I converseb yesterday with an officer who followed Garibaldi throuShoutthe Scilian and Ne apolitan campaigns and who informed me that he had taked yassage for New York, in one of the steamers from Lever- nool next week."

The War and SLucrj. The rebels and their sympathizers have ever been busy asserting that the effort to sustain the Government is a war against slavery ! They have redoubled their howling since negroes like other property are considered contraband when found or met as belonging to rebels or disloyal Stated or communities. All who have watched at all the progress of affairs can not fail to see that that there has been a studious effort on the part of the Admin istration, if you please, to avoid a perver tion of the war for the Union from its avowed legitimate and essential purpose into a crusade against the "peculiar insti tution." General Butler took an early opportunity to inform the people of Mary land, when a negro insurrection was fear ed, that his duties were to suppress insur rection and rebellion of what ever kind, and that his aid if needed, to suppress the negroes could be relied upon. The in stances are without number almost in Virginia, Kentucky and Maryland of negroes who escaped from loyal citizens being promptly returned by the military authorities. W'hile this has, is and will continue to be the -course, slavery must not get in the way ; nor must the armies in defense of our country be expected to become police officers whose particular duties are to look up runaway slaves. The advocates of slavery have always contended that slave property should be considered in all respects precisely as all other property. Very well. If our ad vancing armies come into possession by conquest, surprise voluntary delivery or otherwise, of horses, cattle, provisions munitions of war, or any other species o property, the appropriation is legitimate So it should and will be with negroes. While we reiterate that it is not the object of the North even, in the attempts to sustain the Union to interfer with the institution of slavery, men who have a moiety of brains cannot fail to know that one of the legitimate results of this war if protracted any length of time, will be not only to interfere with and cripCe sla very, but to wipe it from the face of the earth. Heretofore men of all parties North or South, whether advocates for or against slavery, have felt legally and morally bound by the constitutional guar antee to slavery, as the law of the land The opponents even of the institution have always regarded it as a moral evil All these, together with thousands North and South who have cared nothing about It as a moral ao; e? en, will now ad vocate its extermination, because it has ever been the source of all our troubles, and its existence continually endangers our national safety. This is undoubtedly a growing sentiment in all classes who desire the perpetuity of the Union. It is the promptings of self-preservation. The war if ended to-day, has cost the country in dollars and cents more than the cash value of every slave in it, to say nothing of the loss of life, destruction of internal improvements and the general ruinous prostration of all branches of busi ness. To leave the question unsettled is but to bring about every few years a like disastrous state of affairs, and in the end annihilate us as a nation, and hurl us as a people into utter and irredeemable dark ness. This we believe is a rapidly grow ing feeling in the minds of the masses of the people. More About (he Indians. By referring to this matter again, we hope no undue excitement will be created. Our object i3 to arrouse our people to a thorough preparation for any emergency. Being thoroughly prepared, we will not likely be molested to any serious extent. Every day's experience and informa tions confirms us in the belief that the principle portion at least, of the Regular Military force now in, and being muster ed into service in Nebraska, should at the earliest practical moment be station ed in the southern portion of the Terri tory. Since our last issue we have had a long and detailed interview with Hon. yo. P. Bakes, present agent for the Otoe and Missouri Indians, who was in our place last week, direct from the res ervation. Of course we are not impru dent enough to blazon forth in print the particulars obtained from Mr. B. and others. Suffice it to say, our statement made last week, as to a general confer ence of western Indians being now held n the Cherokee country, and without doubt under the immediate supervision of the Southern sessesion rebels is fully con firmed. The Indians near us, have be come unusally saucy and impudent ; ma- ingtcn. I king many mysterious trips here and there ; are visited by strange looking In dianswhite men attired a la red man and many other evidences of trouble a head, we might mention. In our opinion there is but one effectual and sensille way, under all the circumslinces of treat ing this slate of aflairs, and that is to "n:p it ia the bud." All who have any knowledge whatever cf western Indians, knoiv them to be treacherous at anytime; not to be rustcd to any extent under any circumstances, much less now. The plan of the Southern rebels no doubt, 'is to concentrate at some given point west cf the settlement, all the In dians they can obtain and organize them for guerilla purposes, either to go into the States, or harrass the western settlers. We hereby return thanks to our friends in various portions of the Territory especially in the middle and western por tion of this Land District, for their suc cessful efforts in extending the circulation cf the Advertiser, of late. Hard as the times are, it is gratifying us to have our subscription list increase more rapidly than at any other lime for years. During these exciting times people must have cannot do without the news. One more number, and we shall have completed the 5th volume of the Adver tiser. We hope our friends will continue their efforts, and that we may commence volume six with a reusing list. We will endeavour to make the coming volume more interesting and valuable to its pa trons than any previous one. Last fall during the Delegate cam paign in this Territory, when we publish ed an array of figures in regard to the financial management of the then Secre tary Morton, we were charged with un warrantably persecuting Mr. M.

Here is one of the planks in his platform of principles: "Did we openly advocate resistance to the federal authorities, did we preach downright treason in its blackest form, or pursue a course scandelously at variance with every dictate of order and propriety, yet our right to do so would remain intact, so long as the American constitution stands as it is. Our only punishment as public Journalists, would be in public opinion and the Joss of influence over it." So would your "right remain intact" to hang yoxirself Mr. Thompson, but cot to hang others.
