na, Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas, and Cherokee half-breeds, but, as all our friends here, even the ladies at the Exchange remark, make no mention of Arkansas. Now, your correspondent well knows, and states on his personal responsibility, that McCulloch's command contained previous to the 21st of July, with the exception of one regiment from Louisiana, (the noble 3d,) Arkansas troops alone, and that he had with him just previous to the march towards Springfield one regiment of well-armed cavals a regiment of infantry and a regiment and several independent companies of cavalry from the Northwestern part of the State, the names of all of whose commanders your correspondent will not venture to give correctly. It is impossible that McCulloch, notwithstanding the enemy's reports, could have had under his command over six thousand men, unless he had been reinforced by a regiment of cavalry which he expected from Texas. What Price's addition was I cannot learn. Arkansas, with a

Jeff Thompson a Virginian. --The public see almost every week, in the Missouri news, notices of Col. Jeff. Thompson's doings. He hangs around the skirts of the Federals with his troops like some "infernal machine," ready to explode missiles of destruction in their midst. He is a terror second only to Ben McCulloch. Jeff. is a gallant boy, and has always been noted for impetuous intrepidity. He is a son of the late Capt. Meriwether Thompson, formerly of Culpeper, we believe, who removed in early life to Jefferson county, Va., and in the now noted place, Charlestown, Jeff. was born. For the last fifteen years our friend Jeff. has been a citizen of Missouri, and was at one time Mayor of the flourishing city of St. Joseph's, high up on the Missouri river. When the John Brown raid broke out, Jeff. was among the early arrivals at his native town, Charlestown, and we believe was there when Old John's light was extinguished with the aid of a hempen cord. We know he

agitated in England, and the London Times fears it will lead to "difficult complications." In this connection, we have an important opinion from the Premier of Great Britain. The London Herald makes the announcement that when Napoleon heard of the battle of Bull Run (Manassas) he resolved to recognize the Confederate Government. The details by this arrival will be looked for with cager anxiety. We have a confirmation of the Federal defeat in Missouri, with a brief statement from Gen. McCulloch in relation to the affair. A telegraphic dispatch from St. Louis informs us that Gen. Pope is making immense preparations to retrieve the disaster, but we think the Lincoln Government is nearly played out in Missouri. The statement that Gen. Siegie's location is unknown at St. Louis, confirms our belief that his command has been captured by Gen. Hardee. The Federal statement of their loss in two regiments, though probably below the truth, would make an aggregate much larger than the N
