Fortress MorrnoE, Aug., 8.
Hampton ha3 been burned. Scouts
and fugitives brought word of the np
r roach cf a large confederate force from
Vor!tova. " Theso rumors were confnn
f d by five o'clock, ly a deserter from
the rebels, a native of Maine, but a res
ident of Gejrgia. He has been station
ed, at Yorktown fincc June 1st. On Fri
day last, Gen. Jlaruder left Yorktown
with a force cf 7,0b'O men, including 2-0
cavalry and 8 pieces of artillery.
On Monday night they camped at Beth
el, which was completely deserted. On
Tuesday night they advanced toward the
town of Hampton, and at noon yester
day took up a position on Battle river,
some miles from the town. He thinks
the object of the expedition is to draw out
our forces, attack Camp Hamilton and
Newport News, if practicable, and at
leas; destroy Hampton so as to prevent
their usin it for winter quarters.
Gen. JJutkr at once repaired to the
end of Hampton bridge where he remain
ed until 11 o'clock. Col. Weber erected
a barricade near the Hampton end of the
bridge, and placed a strong guard at va
rious points this side of the creek. 30
minutes past midnight Gen Magrunder,
with five hundred rebels, entered the town
and immediately fired it. The greatest
part of five hundred houses were built 6f
wood, no rain having fallen lately, and a
stroDg south wind sood produced a terri
ble conflagration. There were perhaps
twenty , white persons and double that
number of negroes, remainining- in the
town from inability to move, several of
whose houses were fired without waking
the inmates. Several of the whites and
negroes were hurried away to be pressed
into the rebel service. A company of
the rebels attempted to force a passage
cf the bridge, but were repulsed with. a
loss of three killed and six wounded.
The fire rnged all night. The rebels to
wards morning withdrew, and at noon to
day.'when I visited the place, but seven
or eight buildings were left.
Gen. Magruder has encamped near
New Market bridge. He will hardly at
tempt to attack Newport News.
Mayhew, the deserter, says there has
been about 1,000 rebel troops stationed at
Yorktown, and some ten days ago a bat
talion came down to the outskirts of the
town' of Hampton and carried away ISO
negroes. Provisions were abundant at
Yorktown, and - some of the troops were
receiving new uniforms for the winter
campaign. The destruction of the town
was a wanton act of crueltv, both for the
residents and Unionists; and moreover,
entirely useless, as Gen. Butler intends
to winter his army many miles beyond
Jiampton. An attempt wnl be made to
fasten the acts on the General. !
After 10 o'clock. Wednesday night a
flag" of truce came in from Norfolk with
Miss Mayo, a niece of Gen. Scott, who
is on her way from Richmond to New
York.' Sho states tho rebels attributed
the act tc Gen. Butler.
the names of tho petitioners presented
i-ome days ago by Senator UrecliimMge,
purporting to come from Niagara county
New York, asking that the present duii
culties be adjusted, and supposed to be
nearly all forgeries. They have been
sent for by prominent gentlemdn living
in that county, who assert that they are
forgeries, and are now engaged in fer
reting out the perpetrators.

Sixty Fain ilic 3 Driven from their
Homes! !
Upward of sixty families from Che re
bec county, on the Cherokee Neutral
Jmds, have, within a few days, readied
Allen county, having been driven from
their home's by a band of Missourians,
Arkansana and Cherokee Indians, under
the leadership of one John Matthew?, a
well-known trader of Timber Hill, in the
Osage Nation, some eight miles from our
southeastern border. Threats of an at
tack on Humboldt, where they had sought
safety, have driven many to Lc Roy, in
Coflee County.
The operations cf the desperaeoes un
der Matthews extended througout tho
neutral lands fifty by twenty-five miles
and almost every Union family in that
section has been driven away. Their
houses have been plundered, the greater
portion of their stock seized, and them
selves driven from their thriving daces
without opportunity for a moment's prep
aration. Some were so fortunate as to
save their teams and a portion of their
s'ock, but they are only the exceptions.
Sixteen men are known to have been bru
tally murdered.
In one instance twenty Union men had
fathered together for self-protection, but
Matthews came upon them with three
hundred men. Resistance was ustless
and none was made. The fiendish com

On Friday, tbe 2nd itiFt., Orn. I.yon, hearing that
Bin McCullork anJl'.is Southern hordes -were apjiroach
lng to Five Lini tattle, ordered his men or.der arms and
marched out to mf-ct Lim. On arproartins a ravine
known a Dugs' Spring, tho enemy as discovered in
large force and marshalled in h;tttle army. Our forces
was 6,000, thctof the enemy 15.003. The cny.-irremcnt
was opened ly Lyon's artillery, which was promptly re
plied to by the energy.
After some hard fighting, in which tho artillery of
Lyon proved its superiority, the enemy retreated with s.
lots of 40 tilled and 41 wounded. Our loss is eiht.
killed and thirty wounded We took eighty stand of
arms, fifteen hor.ses and wagons, and other trophic..
The advantage of the cavalry were exhibited in thiii
contest. During tho engagement, a trr.all Fqiiad of dra
goons made a sndden charge up.m a column of the
eueniy, numbering some 4,000. The FTuh'.ciiesis of tho
onset created a fctainpede among the Lafaatry, and our
boys cut their way through them, uiu came Lak with
the loss or five of their number.
The enemy retired foiuo milci during the fight, and
Lyon took possession of the field.
We expect a fight to-morrow (Saturday) as the cneny
have been largely rcinferced.
Washington, August.
General order No. 45, which prohibits
volunteers who do not speak the English
language from being mustered into ser
vice, is now officially explained. It is
not inten Jed to apply to regiments or com

men and officers speak the same tongue,
but to prevent the enlistment in regiments
or companies where officers only speak
English, of meu not understanding it.

Government has iust issued strinirent
orders to prevent the transmission of tel

whether past present or future. Ex

any secession sentiments, but- he is ex
ceexlingly non-committal. The secession
ists here 6ay that in a few weeks he will
enter the rebel army as Brigadier Gener

Canton, Missouri, Aug. 6.
A messenger dispatched from Camp
Carnegy to the battle field, has just re
turned, and gives the following informa
tion concerning the great fight, which
was so allant!y fought by our troops:
About eu;ht o'clock on Sunday night,
a messenger wa3 dispatched from Croton
in a hand-car, to Ktnkuk, Iowa, and re
ported that a large lady of rebels were
seen moving, on Sunday, towards Athens
in Clark County, Mo. At the camp, a
part of Col. Moore's Regiment LT. S. R.
C, were stationed. The Keokuk Kiiies
and Rangers were immediately summon
ed, and after 9 o'clock, P. M., thirty-nve
men of each company, armed and equip
ped, were ready and started on a special
train to Croton. Soon after daylight, the
Keokuk men, being oxer in Athens, the
attack wa3 begun by firing of small can
non from the rebels. The Union men
immediately sprang for their arms, and
to their surprise, found the rebels coming
up in three divisions, evidently intending
to surround town or camp.
During the time, say an hour and o half
Col. Moore came with five Lundred men
and began firing upon them, completely
routing them, and driving them cut of the
town of Athens, killing forty cf the reb
els, and wounding seventy-five. In their
flight they left sixty-two horses, which
were captured by our forces. The reb
els at that fight numbered 1,600. four can
non, commanded by the great Martin E.
Green, brother of Ex-United States Sen
ator. James S. Green. The Union forc
es were commanded by Col Moore, num
bering 500. It seems that guns have
more strength than theirs : one reason,
our cause is just. The rebt-U retreated
in double buick tunc. Our less is but two
killed and six wounded. It was part of
their programme to attack Athens and
take it, and next take Canton, Col II. M.
Woodyard was ready to meet them and
would have given them a warm reception.
The boys under Col. WcodyarJ see that
he knows his duty and the boys will fight
under his command like generals."
Time at Last Makes all Things Etch.
How just are the retributions of histo
ry ! Virginia originated the heresy of
State rights run mad, which has culmina
ted in secession ; behold her ground be
neath the upper and neither mill stones.
Missouri lighted lb a fires of civil war in
Kansas; now they have burst out with re
doubled fury upon her own scil. It was
done in the name of slavery; but the re
action which logically followed has given
mure impetus to the emancipation move
ment in Missouri, lhau all the Abolition
ists in Christendom could have done in
twenty years. She sent forth her hordes
to mob printing presses, overawe the bal
lot box, and substitute the bowie-knife
and revolver for the civil law. Now her
own area gleams with federal bayouets.
the rebel newspapers are suppressed by
the file of soldiers, aud the civil process
supplanted by the strong military arm.
Claiborn F Jackson led ono of these raids
into Kansas, which overthrew the civil
authorities, and drote honest citizens from
the polls. To-day the poisoned chalice
is commended to his own lips : a hunted
fugitive from his chair cf ofiioe and his
home, he is deserted by friends, ruined
in fortune, and the halter awaits his neck.
ThomasC Reynolds, the late Lieutenant
Governor, is a German Jew, born on the
Prngue ; his former name was Reinhold.
Twenty-five years r.go in South Carolina,
he advocated the right cf secession, ar..d
did much to poison the public mind of the
State. He, too, has hii rew ird in dis
grace and outlawry not chring even
to comft within the borders of the Sta'e
which so recently delighted to do him honor.
Up. np with that banner I where'er it eiij call,
Our ruillions sbn.Il rally around" ;
A nation of freemen that monH'ot shall fall
When its stars slifilllxj trailed on tha ground.
Then p with onr flag ! let it ptrcam on the air !
Though our faihera a.recolJ in their graves,
Thej had handi that could striko, they had souls
that could dare,
Ar.d their sons were not born to b?J slaves !
Nebraska Regiment.
Last week we announced that the Ne
braska Regiment had been ordered to
St. Joseph, and Col. Thayer given com
mand of matters in and about that place.
Before tho remainder of the regiment
left at Omaha, in command of Maj. Mc
Cord, reached St. Joseph, tho whole was
ordered to St. Louis, and is now most
likely at Cairo or Bird's Point, with a
very flattering prospect of soon seeing
active service.
Tho departure of the Nebraska Regi
ment was very unexpected to the citizens
cf the Territory, to say the very least,
and if bad faith has not been exercised,
a proper regard for the interest and safe
ty of this frontier country has been over
looked. While we claim to be possessed
of as much patriotism and devotion to
country as any other people, the fact is,
Nebraska cannot spare a regiment to be
taken without her borders ; she has, and
will have her hands full at home. Situ
ated on the frontier, and exposed to ma
ny danger, we never asked the General
Government for no other protection or as
sistance than the meagre forces that had
been stationed at the Forts m time of
peace. When even those forces were
taken away, we asked nothing more than
io iukc care of ourselves. To do which,
permission was asked of the President
and granted to form a regiment within
our borders for our own protection. We
so understood the formation of the Ne
braska Regiment ; in fact, it was so pub
licly proclaimed by the War Department
through our Governor.
It may be said that as the Department
has re-inforced the forts with regulars,
that it is justifiable in using the Regiment
elsewhere. If wo understand correctly
there are no forces of consequence at Ft
Randall, and those at Ft. Laramie most
ly rebels, and the officers at Ft. Kearny
but little better. If this be true, we would
be better off without than with them.
While we believe the great majority of
those composing the Nebraska Regiment
preferred going into active service, we
know nany who volunteered, felt that
the case was not yet sufficiently emer
gent to require them to leave their homes
and families exposed, aud go into the
the States; arid would noi have gpnc in
to the service had proper representations
been made to them.
Reposing confidence, however, in our ru
lers, we hope all may be for the best. We
know the Nebraska Regiment to be com
posed of brave, hardy, loyal men, and that
whenever, and wherever their country
calls, they will be ready and willing to
defend it, and that upon the battle field,
whoever falls, his face will be found to
ward the enemy.
Daily and Morton. '
We have before us a public Document
of 170 pages "Evidence and other papers
submitted in the contested election of S
G. Daily V3 J. S. Morton." We have

Sunday night they drove out a family
named Vest, and then tbe same night
went to the house, of a Mr. Summers,
whose wife they informed they had come
to hang the old gentleman, who is a timid,
inolfensivc Union man. He managed to
escape from tie scamps. One of the
ruiTians informed a neighbor that he was
one of twenty 'who were swern to clean
out the Union men of that vicinity, but
personally he desired lo get cut of it.
It may be said ihcse acts are commit
ted on humble citizens, and consequently
do not merit attention. We care net who
they are committed upon or by whom,
they are outrages that should not bo toler
ated. The better citizens on the other side of
the river think the absence of the liquor
establishment now located there would
greatly diminish the'' rowdyism in that
vicinity! Should'nt wonder.

that the drunken, worthless rebel va-a-bonds
who hang around the drinking sa
loon in Scott City, just opposite this place
in Atchison county. Mo., and threatea to

Indian Affairs West-
The following from Maj. Baker, agent of
the Otoe and Missouri Indians, although
a private letter, not written for publica
tion, will give a better understanding of
the Indian affairs west of us than any
thing we could say.
Otoe axd Missouri Agency,
August, 10th, 1SG1.
Deah Furnas: I arrived here yes
terday and found the Indians had been
back from their hunt about ten days, hav
ing had a rather exciting, but unsuccess
ful time of it. I learn from Daily &
Shotts who accompanied them that the
Pawnees had waited on the Republican
about ten days for the Otoes; they had
exhausted their provisions and were near
ly in a starving condition when the Otoes
came up, and divided their small stock
with them and they resumed iheir march
in search for Buffalo. The first they saw
was a small herd of about seventy-five,
all of which they killed, and in two hours
from the time they attacked them they
had the meat and hides all in camp. The
next they found was on the Saline Fork,
where they killed two small herds of
about one hundred and twenty each; but
found themselves among innumerable
herds with every prospect of killing all
they wanted, when the combined tribes
of Sioux, Kiowas, Chyennes, Arappahoes
Camanches, attacked the Pawnees with a
very superior force. The Pawnees im
mediately called on the Otoes who were
encamped near by and in full view for
assistance. Notwithstanding the Otoes
had formed an alliance with the Pawnees
for their mutual protection, the Otoes re
fused to help them. "Big Soldier" and
a few others pitched in on their own
hook. Big Soldier after exhausting all
his arrows, singled out a Chyenne and
run him seven miles at the utmost speed
of their horse. Daily say it was the
most exciting race he ever saw. The
Otoes witnessed the fight for about six
hours during which time the Pawnees
sent four or five different messengers to
them begging their assistances, that they
were being cut to pieces by vastly superi
or numbers, that their head Chief and
leading brave were killed. One of the
Otoes who was in the fight reported that
he saw thirty dead Pawnees. The Otoes
had a short Council, the result of which
wti.3 that they would strike for heme as
fast a3 they could, consequently they
struck their tents' and left while the fight
was still raging. They came by the way
of Fort Reily, and reached home in seven
days. They reported that the Pawnees
were completly surrounded by from seven
to ten thousand warriors; that there was
no posibility of their escape, that their
enemies were killing them off at their
leisure, and had expressed their deter
mination not to stop until they had wiped
the last they from existance; and the
Otoes firmly believed that would be their
fate. But last evening a runner from the
Pawnees arrived here and reports that
the Pawnees had extricated themselves
and gut away and had come in as far as
the Little Blue destitute, of provisions;
they could not go home, without subject'
nig tnemseives to starvation, sotney con
cluded logo back in search of Buffalo.
The Otoes arc very much disheartend
they have incurred the displeasure of the
Pawnees and there enemies, and it is
doubtful whether they will venture on a
hunt again this season unless protprted by
troops. A war party of 12 to 15 Otoes
left last night. The object I could not
learn. Yours, in haste,
J NO. P. BAKER.
