. Each stopped, and Fremont commenced fortifying in the neighborhood of Georgetown, where he was concentrating his forces. This gave Price time to move his infantry and artillery, aggregating about 8,000 men, unmolested, until he got south of his pursuers. He crossed his command over the Osage river in flat boats, built by his men for the purpose, in one-fourth the time it afterward took Fremont to cross at the same place on his pontoon bridges. He then continued his retreat leisurely to Neosho, where the legislature was assembled. The legislature passed an act of secession. In every particular it complied with the forms of law. It was called together in extraordinary session by the proclamation of the governor. There was a quorum of each house present. The governor sent to the two houses his message recommending, among other things, the passage of an act dissolving all political connection between the State of Missouri and the United States of America. The ordinance was pas

a hundred men recruited by him joined the column. Here Shelby threw forward beyond Springfield three bodies of scouts under trusty and experienced officers, with instructions to cut telegraph wires and in every way interrupt communication with St. Louis. They were to move in advance of him toward the Missouri river at Booneville, and communicate with him from time to time. For the rest, to mystify and mislead the enemy, he depended upon his own strategy and rapidity of movement. At Neosho, Mo., twenty-five miles from Bentonville was a Federal garrison about 400 strong, quartered in the brick court house in the center of the town. They were well armed, well mounted and well clothed, and their equipments were more attractive than they were themselves. Maj. George Gordon approached the town from the east, Coffee from the north and Hooper from the west, while Shelby advanced on it from the south, with Shanks and the artillery. The Federals, in their strong position, were confide

ld be lost; our troops on the extreme right and left were already engaged. To advance with the rest, without the assistance of artillery, seemed to me a movement which could easily turn out into [sic] deroute! The moral effect of the enemy's mounted regiments behind our lines could not be denied. It was, therefore, with great mortification that I ordered one part of our troops behind Dry fork, sent one to protect baggage train, ordered retreat, etc. He left Captain Conrad and Company B at Neosho for protection of the Union-loving people with a train of supplies, which McIntosh and Churchill, of McCulloch's brigade, soon captured. Lyon marched into Springfield, August 1st. He was joined the next day by Major Sturgis, who had a skirmish at Dug Springs with Arkansas and Missouri mounted men. The Arkansas troops were commanded by Capt. Americus V. Reiff. It required sharp skirmishing of several hours, by several companies under Capt. Frederick Steele, the Fourth artillery under Lie

ention from other movements of Federal armies in Missouri, to try the strength of his newly-constructed gunboats, and test the weight of the metal of General Polk's artillery at Columbus. The movement in Missouri he attempted to aid was the threatened march of Fremont, Lane and Sturgis against Price, after the battle of Lexington, when Price had caused them each to go to ditching in anticipation of an attack, while he was really crossing the Osage to make a junction again with McCulloch, at Neosho. That the engagement brought on at Belmont by Grant was a second thought of the Federal commander, to give diversion to his officers and men, and furnish evidence of activity to the expectant people who were demanding that the war be prosecuted, there is no reason to doubt. The disadvantage of the defensive policy is that it gives the aggressor liberty to pick his own time, place, and opportunity for directing his blows. The armies of both sections had been lying inactive. But the Nort

ich he was entirely destitute. So that when he reached the town of Neosho, at the south-western angle of the State, after a long and fatiguinred; he was himself encamped at Pools Prairie, between Sarcoxie and Neosho; Governor Jackson, with a brigade commanded by General Parsons, wasice, having abandoned the camp of Pools Prairie, had retired beyond Neosho. After occupying this town, Siegel determined to go and attack theook the line of march, imprudently leaving a company of infantry at Neosho with a view of protecting the inhabitants in the event of the retur wounded; but on the following day the company which he had left at Neosho was surrounded by a superior force, and, as might have been easily boats constructed by their own hands. Thence he proceeded towards Neosho, where McCulloch was awaiting him with five thousand men. It was inoreover, Price and McCulloch had not considered themselves safe at Neosho.

uired to break the new line of which Corinth was the principal centre. The shock, however, had been so severe that both parties felt an imperative need of rest and reorganization. We shall take advantage of it to return with the reader to the east of the Alleghanies; for since the battle of Pea Ridge no military event deserving of mention has occurred in the far West. The conflicts at Independence, in Missouri, where the Confederate Quantrell was routed on the 22d of March, and those of Neosho, near the Arkansas frontier, where the Federal cavalry dispersed a few Confederate guerillas, were of no importance, even for those uninhabited regions. Price, who remained alone to watch Curtis from a long distance, while Van Dorn was marching upon Memphis, was assembling, east of the Ozark Mountains, all the Missourians whom the prestige of his name always collected around him, and was preparing to lead them, as soon as he had gathered a sufficient number, to the great rendezvous at Corin
