Fhimmcr, wrtb 2,-500 men. left Cape Girardeau on ihe l?th, in pursuit of Jeff. Thompson's army." The command was composed of th? 20th Regiment, Cul. Marth ; the 17th, .Col. Ross; a..d the Missouri Eleventh, , Col, Flummer. Mhey had several pieces of Jih4. artillery, and transportation "or a march, with fifteen days' provisions. Colonel Flurmncr's troops took the road to Jackson, the county seat of Cape Gi rardeau county, and on a straight road to Fredericklown, in Maddison county, and the presumption is that he marched di rectly to that point. Col. Plumrner will be recollected as Captain Plumrner of the regular army, who distinguished himself at the battle of Wilson's Creek. While he pursued his march from Cape ' Girardeau on the enemy, Col. Cmlin, in - command at Pilot Knob, ordered troops to march in the direclion of Frederick . town, where the rebels were reported to be in force, under the command of Jeff. Thompson and Lowe. Major Gavilt, of the First Indiana Cavalry, with six com panies, was ordered to the assistance of Cap. Hawkins' Independent Missouri Cavalry, and, having effected a junction with him, and finding the enemy in largely superior forces, they dispatched a messenger for additional forces. This was on Wednesday. As soon as it could be done, Col. Alex ander's Illinois Twenty-first and one gun was sent forward by Col. Carlin. It was this force that had the engagement with the enemy on Thursday morning, and in which, by drawing them into ambush, a large number were killed, and the Reb els compelled to retreat in confusion. . The same force, and perhaps a larger number, from Pilot Knob, must have par ticipated in the battle of the 2 1st. Major Gavitt's . command, the dispatch states, was m ike : thickest- of ihe light, and he and Capt'. Hyrnan perilled and lost their lives for the honor cf the country and the safety of the Union. Cincinnati, 0:t. 22. 'A courier arrived here from Camp Dick Robinson, reports a fight yesterday between Zollicofler with six thousand or seven thousand men, and Cel. Garrard with twelve hundred men atCamp Wild cat. Zollicoffer made three different attacks and was each time repulsed with considerable loss. Federal loss four killed and twenty wounded. The cour ier met reinforcements of one regiment and artillery advancing to Garrard's as sistance. WlISUINCTON, Oct. 21, It is stated that Thompson & Bro., ukers of New.

Ba- ker. ' .i ' Uhi U. S. forces engaged were about 1,800, and were attacked by a force sup posed to be from 5,000 to 6,000. At this juncture Col.

Baker were removed to Poolsville, and will be brought to this city on Wednesday. SpocUl Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune Washington. Oct. 21. " ' Ninety eight bids for beef cattle con . tracts were opened to-day, ranging from S3.43 to $5,12; but the lowets "bidder , offers only 4,00 head, while the proposals require a guarantee for a supply of 1G, 000, or such portion thereof, not less than 1,000. as the government may require. The .next lowest is the bid of Benj. Sin kle and John L. Metzger, of Harrisburg, nt $3,19, the cattle to be delivered at Ilarrjsburg, York or Chambersburg, at .he option of the government.

Washington, Oct. 22. The report made by Adjutant-General Thomas, cf his recent examination into the administration of the Department of the West by Gen. Fremont, was this morning considered in a full Cabinet meeting. With the reluctance which hciitaics to injure a distinguished pan, and wound and disappoint, the friends who a popular leadrr gathers in his oa roer, all the members of the Cabinet slowly pronounced their judgments, that the interests ct .iiisoun and the Union, required that Gen. Fremont should be superseded in his command by Majop General Hunter. The order to this ef fect vrill be issued to-morrow morning. The President was greatly alilicted by the death cf Col. Biker. Col. Baker made his will on Saturday last, and deposited it with Col. Webb, and when he Jcft for the field he said to the latter: "I shall participate in batile with in forty-eight hours, and if I fall I request that you take charge of my body." The funeral of Col. Baker will take place in this city to-morrow. Great prep arations arc making for the obsequies. Grn.

The Washington Star, of the 23d, says the expedition f rom Anapolis sailed yes terday. In addition to the troops from Annapolis, we learn that quite as many more join the expedition at Old Point, they have been quietly shipped for this end from New Yoik, Boston and else where. Col. Baker, 1t is said, was a prominent mark for the enemy's bullets. He was struck by a ball in the heart, four in va rious parts of the body, and three in the head. Col. Baker, when he was killed, was on a horse and dressed in full uni form, and it is said one hundred Missis sippi rifles were aimed at him when he fell. A telegram from Gen. McClellan's headquarters is said to have been received at the War Office at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, stating that Leesburg would be taken in an hour. There has been sharp fighting in that neighborhood fill the morning. It was also reported that Gen. Stone and Gen. Banks had crossed the Potomac and were advancing with 50,000 men on Leesburg. Washington, Oct. 24. It is understood the rebel steamer, Page, which has been confined in Aquia Creek, is now on the rivur. She was protected all summer by the guns on the New Cheek, "a., Oct. 27.

St. Joseph Railroad yesterday afternoon gives us the following details of a spirited skirmisn which took place in Cirrol county on last Saturday. Col. Morgan, whose regiment, the Eighteenth Missouri, is stationed at La clede, in Linn coounty, having heard of the depredations of a gang of rebels near the joing line of Carroll, Chariton, and Livingston counties, started out on last Friday tiifrht about nine o'clock, with a force of two hundred and twentv men, composed cf cavalry, infantry and artil lery, with two six-pound canncn, in pur suit of them. He proceeded rapidly about twenty miles, in a a southwest direction, which brought him to Big Ilurrican Creek, in Carrell county, where they learned they were in the neighborhood of the enemy. At this point they came upon aaold man, whose name our informant dees not re Ovllact, who told them that a rebel force of five or tlx h:-.ndrvd men had crossed the creek, and were some distance along the road. Gel. Morgan crossed the creek nnniediatftlv. and w nil ft nnssinrr j , j 0 along tne road, up a deep and muddy ra vine, suddenly found himself ambuscaded, the dd man having deceived him as to the whereabouts cf the enemy. His command received a very distressing fire from the rebels, who were posted be hind the trees and brush As iooo as the began to be returned the rebels scattered, and were pursued in smoll squad-s, with great success. The two pieces of artil lery, under Lieut. Dawson, did excellet service in cleaning them out of the thick ets. The pursuit continued until late on Saturday afternoon, when Col. Morgan called his men together, and with" the wounded and prisoners marched ba.de to Lacicde. Two of his men were mortally wounded, and are probably dead at this writing. Their names are A. Scraps of the cavalry, and Benjamin Kirgan,"ot me liitantry. she may find. The President has at last suspended the writ of habeas corpus f?r the District of Columbia. The judges and lawyers have made themselves so troublesome with their officious interference with mil itary affairs, that this has become neces sary. Washington, Oct. 23. Casoious M. Clay, our Minister to Russia, has intimated to our government that in view of the threatened attitude of the rebels, he would prefer to surrender his present commission as representative to Rusisa, and enter the army in active defense of the government. The Cabi net has had the subject under serious consideration, and Kentuckians here are anxious for the return of the gallant Cas sius. Only ihe Rhode-Island officers stood by their fun?, the men retreating early in the fray. Tho enemy charged from the wooJs, in a.l directions, converging upon our forces. They were bravely met, but the slaughter of our best officers and men was so tersific that the federal ists were at last obliged to retreat. Col. Baker was killed by a horseman, who rode close to him and fired five shots from a revolver, they all taking elfect. The slayer was at once brought down in turn by Capt. Derrill. The same brave man recovered his body, leading a charge of his company for that -purpose. The California regiment took over the river of men and ciiieers 651?. The drowned are about 50; killed 3 i ; prisoners 300, and wounded 12J; total 50-5; safe 1S4. Two howitzers and two field pieces of the Second Rhode Island batlery were hauled up the hill and effectively handled during the figf, by Col. Baker himself, aided by Wistar, his Adjutant, Ilowley, and Company G, Captain Derrill. The forces which crossed the Potomac were as follows : The first battalion of the California Regiment, GS9 ; Massachusetts Fifteenth 1,000; Massachusetts Twentieth, about 500 , Tammany Regiment, 250. Total. 2.3S9. On the advent of the news of the fall of Gen. Baker, Gen. Lander was imme diately ordered to the scene, he being at that time making arrangements to pro ceed to a new command higher up the Potomac. Gen. Smith was not in the fight at Edward's Ferry. The rebel army was commanded by Gen. Evans. Colonel Hays, of Kansas, arrived here to-day as bearer of dispatches containing certain charges against Captain Prince, commanding at Leavenworth. The prin cipal difficulty is his refusal to fill a re quisition of Gen. Lane. ami that of the enemy was not ascer tained. fHE ADVERTISER, 11. W. FURNAS, EDITOR.

IN The following dispatch was received here last night at headquarters. Hu-ni-nsville is in Polk county, about forty miles north of Springfield. Price and the rebel army have undoubtedly passed down on the west side of their old stamp ing groung, "Cowshin Prairie," where we opine, they will not be permitted to enjoy the same recruiting leasure they did in their encampment last summer. This brilliant dash, made by the "foreign er," Major Zagonyi, was performed by the same "Body Guard" which surroun ded Gen. Fremont at his head quarters in this city. "Useless appendage," "hor ses all Lay," "clothing blue, with yellow stripes," "d d Ilungatian humbug," etc., ect. But read the dispatch : Headquauters in the Field, Near Ilumansville, Oct. 23, 1SG1. To Cajt. C. .VcKc2vcr,d. .7. G.: Yesterday afternoon Major Zagonyi, at the head of my Guard, made a most brilliant charge upon a body of the enemy drawn up in line of battle in their camp at Springfield, two thousand or two thou sand two hundred strong. He completely routed them, and cleared them from the town. He hoisted the national flair upon the Court House, and retired i ron a re inforcement which he has already joined. Our loss not great. jvjThis successful charge against such very large odds is a noble example to ihe army. Our advance will ocrupv Springfield to-night. JOHN C. FREMONT, Major-Gtiifrui. "Wlist I Have Written, I Have Written." Our article two wqeks ago, on ilJcy hawking audjayhawkers" failed lo please some folks, we understand. Well, it can't be helped. It was not expected it wovld suit tlnse who sympathize with the rebellion against the Government. In fact, we would want no better evidence that we were in the wrong, than to know what we might say upon that subject did suit that class of men. We are not ca tering to the wishes and feelings of such, and when we speak on the subject of our country, we design to do so very plainly Notwithstanding we stated very positively in that article that we are no advocate of Jayhawking nor apologist for Jayhawk ers, and denounced Jayhawking as all wrong, those who were not suited, per sist in calling us a Jayhawker in princi ple. We here repeat our disapprobation of Jayhawking. Hence our continued condemnation of every movement the rebels have made from their Jayhawking expedition against Ft. Sumpter, and all their operations from that day to the present. We, with all other Union men, were inclined to believe, when Floyd, Thompson cc Co., stole the Government arms and robbed the United States Treas ury of millions of dollars, that that was Jayhawking; we thought the firing upon the Government Steamer, Star cf the West, was Jayhawking; we were forced to. .denominate the stealing of the United States mint at New Orleans, Jayhawk ing ; we had an 'idea that ' fitting cut Pirate- vessels to prey upon our merchant men, was Jayhawking; we are seriously dispDsed to characterize Claib Jackson' movements all of them Jayhawkin- expeditions ; we have no doubt that the taking of over twenty-five thousand dollar; worth of property from the citizens of St. Joseph by the notorious Boyd and his gang, was Jayhawking; we can't help believing that the recent seizure of SS0, 000 of property in cottonddm belonin to Union men, was Jayhawking ; the confiscating act passed by the co-called rebel Congress, which confiscates ''any land or lands, tenement or tenements, hereditament or hereditaments, chattle or chattels, right or rights, credit or cred its, within the Confederate States of America, held, owned, possessed or en joined for or by an alien enemy ; or in or to which any alien enemy had, and when, since that time, any right, title, or inter est, either directly or indirectly;" and which applies, in the language used by Silver Spoon Benjamin, Rebel Attorney General, in his letter of instructions to executive officers, to "allpersons who have a domicil within the States with which this Government is at war, no matter whether iheyle citizens or nc," the civilized world will not fail to pronuunco Javhawking.- Ve will not attempt to enumerate the thousandth number of Jayhawking acts on the part of the rebel; it would fill a dozt-n papers like ours, even though set in agite type. Suffice it to say, they About the Next Session ofUic Legislature. When the fact tvas first announced that this Territory would be required to pay a direct tax of S19.000, in support of the war for the preservation of the Union, many were the plans spoken of by which it could be done. Among others, that of adjourning the Legislature immediately after convening, and appropriate the money, given by Congress to defray the expenses thereof, to the payment of the direct tat. This plan appeared to suit almost every one, and so far as our knowl edge and observation extends, does yet, Provided, that it can, be done. The Legislature cf course has not the power to divert the funds donated by Cuiigres for a special purpose; Congress alone can. do it. We have been, and are yet, an advocate of that plan, if it is practica ble and can be brought about. In order that the Legislature might act so as to accomplish this end, it ought to know be fore it acts, whether such action would secure the object sought. For we hold that it is not the part of wisdom to reject the profered aid of the General Govern ment, and derive no benefit from it what ever. If the sum usually appropriated annually to defray Legislative expenses 20,000 we believe cannot or will not be diverted to the payment of our direct tax, we cannot afford to send it back into the National Treasury. Better, we think, that the members consume it by holding a regular session, and thus secure and dis tribute it throughout the Territory. It will then be where it will be used in the payment of the tax referred to. We can but view this matter in this light, and in so saying believe we reflect the views of the Nemaha Delegation and the comma nity generally. - We repeat, if the desired object can be secured, or there is any reasonable prospect that it can, by an immediate ad journment, by all means adjourn. Plain Talk About Pro il ace. We are getting almost out of patience with those of our delinquents who have been pleading poverty for one, two, three, and some even four years. We have always been" disposed to bo easy with those owing us entirely too much so for our own good adopting the saying, "live and let live ;" trying to worry through the hardships incident to a new country, and therefore have never been urgent in our demands ; never asked for a cent in cash, produce or trade, that necessity did not compel us to csk for. We know money is next thing to an impossibility, and while that and nothing else will pur chase our paper, ink and the stock, we have always been content with trade "chips and whetstones" whn the scar city of money was offered as an. excuse for being in arrears. This year the crops of all kinds have been abundant, and the promises to pay "after harvest" equally so. Vt e have had a standing proposition in cur paper to pay 25 per cent, more than any body else pays for produce, and yet we have to pay cash, while we have several thousands of dollars standing out, that we are as well convinced could be paid, as we are that we exist. Friends, you must come up to the work ; we must have our winter stock of hay, corn, wheat, flour, potatoes and wood laid in. On all such delivered before the 15th of Novem ber, we will agree to pay on indebtedness over one year old, 20 percent, more than' any body else will pay. After that titn we will allow the cash price for trade and produce, be it high or low, and no more And hereafter, when men want to pay us m trade, payment must be made invaria bly in advance.

To illustrate we know farmers who the last season, raised from thirty t ) sixty' acres of wheat; in their hurry, it was badly put in and badly harvested; ihcy had to buy a por tion of their seed, at a high price with cash. They had to buy fencing; hire help in building fence ; in putting in seed ; in harvesting ; and in thrashing. The consequence was they were "out cf pocket," about 40 cents for every bush el of wheat they received. If, after tak ing it to market, they get 30 cents a bushel they will-be ten cents a bushel worse off than if they had lain in bed all the time they spent with their wheat. If they had sown less, and done all the work themselves, though they might not this season have received large wages, yet they would have lost nothing, even if they had sold their wheat at twenty five cents per bushel. c juicu u.'i i n: j mit, cat preve-ni .;seim lr. sliuuM henseil Ly ;!l wh l.ve ia a count ry uticr'ntt,, wter is ba I. or where chilis ar,! fover are pre, tVitiu entirely inmcetit ai..i harmless they may beY' cti freely t.) oitMren at:J hir.inn wkh i;iipi;m;y.

GREAT HAUL OF COIN AT WAR SAWTHE IIAIiEAK CORPUS PEN DEI) FROM JEFFERSON CITV. Jefi-ersox City, Oct. 21. Col. Wagner arrived to-day from Tip ton. He brings the highly important information that it was rumored and be lieved that Lane and Montgomery had intercepted M'Cullcch -in his attempt to join Price, and had cut his whole annv to pieces. This is said to be it nuan that has as sumed the name of McCuli.xh, that irre ?n,mi! ,.- i ii 1 It-Mi. .

I:uve not performed a single act migiii. not, with the utmost propriety, be j called Jayhav. !,;ag, strictly construing that lefin ; and. yet,, in the fate of all this, Jeff. Davis's followers, have the brazen impudence to say to the Adminis tration and the Govei nment armies, "you ought to conform tolaf:, and be careful not to infringe upon Constitutional limits !" In other words the rebels destroy the Constitution aud law, and then demand that the friends of the Union conform to them!

Glnlral: I report respectfully, that yesterday afteni'on. at four o'clock, I met in Springfield, about two thousand or two thousand two hundred of the rebels in their camp, formed in line of battle. They gave me a warm reception, warm er than I expected, but your Guard with one feeling, made a charge, and in less than ten minutes the two thoiieadd men were perfectly routed by one hundred and fifty men of the Body Guard. We cleared the city perfectly from ev ery rebel, and iaistd the Union Hag on the Court House. Getting loo dark, I concluded to leave the city, not bemz able to keep it with one hundred and fif ty men. Major White's command did not par ticipate in the charge. Allow me, Gen eral, to make you uouiaiuted with the be- Nc&rasKa Conference Seminary.
