, nothing has so disabled the rebels in Missouri. His despatches captured betray plainly the anxiety he feels concerning the safety of his men. His orders are to the various detachments to join him with all speed. There is, in fact, good reason to believe that had General Pope been allowed to continue his march, and if he had been supplied with another regiment of cavalry, he might have forced Price into an engagement in which he would have been worsted, or sent him back in a hurry to the Arkansas line once more. But it is understood that General Halleck sent him peremptory orders not to advance too near to Osceola, but to capture the outlying recruiting parties and return to this post. This would indicate not that we stand in any fear of Price, but rather that it is the intention of General Halleck to entrap and not to frighten him away. The account of our expedition may be summed up briefly. The plan was matured between Generals Pope and Halleck; and before the outside world

ies. Our loss is two killed and eight wounded. The enemy's loss not yet known. Information was received last night from Glasgow that our troops at that place had taken about two tons of powder, in kegs, buried on Jackson's farm. This effectually cuts off their supply of ammunition. H. W. Halleck, Major-General. General Pope's report. Headquarters District Central Missouri, Otterville, December 23, 1861. Captain: I have the honor to state that, having replaced by troops from Lamine the garrison of Sedalia, I marched from that place on Sunday the 15th instant, with a column of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, numbering about four thousand men. The first brigade was commanded by Colonel J. C. Davis, Indiana Volunteers; the second by Colonel F. Steele, Eighth Iowa regiment. The object of the movement was to interpose between Price's army on the Osage and the recruits, escort, and supplies on their way south from the Mississippi River. This body of the enemy was represe

errill's regiment of horse, to march from Warrensburg on the same point, turning the enemy's right and rear, and forming junction with Colonel Davis. The main body of my command occupied a point four miles south, and ready to advance at a moment's notice, or to intercept the enemy's retreat south. Colonel Davis marched promptly and vigorously with the forces under his command, and at a late hour in the afternoon came upon the enemy encamped in the wooded bottom-land on the west side of Blackwater, opposite the mouth of Clear Creek. His pickets were immediately driven in across the stream, which was deep, miry, and impassable, except by a long, narrow bridge, which the enemy occupied in force, as is believed, under Colonel Magoffin. Colonel Davis brought forward his force, and directed that the bridge be carried by assault. The two companies of the Fourth regular cavalry being in advance, under the command respectively of Lieutenant Gordon and Lieutenant Amory, were designated

s sixteen wagons, loaded with tents and supplies, and one hundred and fifty prisoners, were captured. The enemy's force was thoroughly dispersed. On the morning of the 18th Lieut.-Colonel Brown's force rejoined the command. Knowing that there must still be a large force of the enemy north of us, I moved forward slowly, on the 18th, toward Warrensburg, and, when near that town, the spies and scouts I had sent out before marching from Sedalia, in the direction of Lexington, Waverly, and Arrow Rock, reported to me that a large force was moving from the two latter places, and would encamp that night at the mouth of Clear Creek, just south of Milford. I posted the main body of my command between Warrensburg and Knob Noster, to close all outlet to the south between those two points, and despatched seven companies of cavalry, （five of the Ohio First and two of the Fourth regular cavalry,) afterward reinforced by another company of regular cavalry, and a section of artillery, all under

The reports were again confirmed and magnified by a loyal man, who was on his way to give us the information. He gave their location as at Kilpatrick's mill, on the Clear fork of Blackwater Creek. （Milford is the post-office name.) Early, therefore, on Thursday morning, more prisoners having made their way into our camp during the previous night, we started in the direction of Knob Noster, being directly south of the enemy.

From Colonel Hovey, of the Twenty-fourth Indiana, we learn the particulars of a successful ruse, whereby he succeeded in making a capture of six prisoners and two hundred bushels of corn meal, but recently ground for the use of the rebels He was ordered by Gen. Turner to reconnoitre with about a hundred men on the road to Clinton. He left on Monday morning, taking Fairview and Siseonville on his route. Learning on Tuesday that a party of the enemy was encamped at a mill near Chapel Hill, he adopted a scheme for bagging the whole of them next day. He ordered his men into the wagons, and had them drawn, with the exception of a small guard, resembling a provision train. As they approached Hall's store the rebels appeared in the brush ready to seize the train. One of his officers rode around a hill to see the whereabouts of the party, when he encountered a

He was informed that if he heard of any more outrages on Union men, he would return and burn every house in the county belonging to a traitor. This is, among the soldiers and citizens, regarded as not only just, but necessary, to stop the cruelty and murder which have prevailed of late wherever the rebels have the sway. The detachment of cavalry under Lieut.-Col. Brown also burned a mill near Johnstown, on the border of Bates County. His force have travelled two hundred and fifty miles in six days, and have done an immense service to the country in that time. But the spirit of the men is up, and if their horses would stand it, they would soon clear the whole of Western Missouri of roving bands. This may also apply to the infantry and artillery, for never was there better feeling and more pluck than at this moment. The unexpected and unparalleled success has stimulated them to the highest pitch, and if Gen. Hallec
