tisfaction as the perusal of your account of General Thompson's short but brilliant campaign in the Ozark mountains. To have ventured to advance more than a hundred miles from the main body of our forces, pass between the strongly garrisoned fortresses of the enemy at Ironton and Cape Girardeau, distant only a few hours travel, the former by railroad and the latter by the Mississippi river, from St. Louis, and burn an important railroad bridge within fifty miles of that city, swarming with Lincoln troops, would have been rashness in a leader less sagacious and vigilant than General Thompson, or with soldiers less hardy and daring than the "Swamp Fox Brigade," of Southeast Missouri. The fight at Fredericktown justifies the high reputation of that gallant officer and his command. While deploring the loss of the brave officers and men who fell in that campaign, I console myself with the reflection that as long as Missourians can be found who, half clad and poorly armed, successfully

current there that Mr. S. W. Ficklin had probably been taken prisoner by the enemy. I am happy to inform you that he returned home last Tuesday, after being detained longer than he expected in the enemy's lines. I came to Centreville on Thursday, and here had a ramble in the camps and around the fortifications erected in this vicinity. I have no right to say how many there are, or how strongly the army here is posted. There are soldiers enough, I believe, to whip the Grand Army of Abe Lincoln, and to annihilate it. Let it come whenever General McClellan pleases, and our numbers will report them their full strength. It is a magnificent sight to stand on the parapet of one of the fortifications near Centreville, and see as it were spread out before you a city encompassing several miles. Here is a larger army than your correspondent ever believed he would live to behold encamped in the Old Dominion; and, notwithstanding his eyes see large batteries on every side, and "any q
