His men scattered considerably, and Colonel Balomon’s couid not be rallied. Consequently Siegel lost five of his guns, the other being brought away by Captain Plage, who compelled his prisoners some sixty in number, to draw the artillery oif the tield.

With a train five miles Jong to protect, it will be singular indeed, if the enemy floes not prove enterprising enough to cut off a portion of it, having such a heavy force of cavalry. With two more regiments we should have driven the enemy entirely from the valley, and with a proper cavalry force, could have followed up such a victory with decisive reaults. Our loss is about two hundred killed and six or seven bundred wounded, while the loss of the enemy must dbave been double our own.

LEWIS WALLACK’S ADDRESS TO HIS MEN, ON BEARING OF GEN. LYON’S DEATH. {From the Evansville Journal, August 16.) ‘Yesterday morning, after the nows of the battle of Springfield reached Ind! is, Col. Lewis Wallace the following bulletin to the Indiana Zouaves. It has the Napoleonic ring:— ‘A battle has ‘been fought near Springfield, Missouri. Gen. Lyon is slain. Our army is in full retreat. General Fremont has telegraphed for all the available forces of Indiana. Now or never, Zouayes! Return to camp. I will give you back your old rifles, your old officers, and the ever glorious flags. The Eleventh waits you—your country calls you louder than ever. your experience and strong arms. Let us make a new Fenown on the banks of tho Mississippi. Fill"up the camp, Zouaves, and I will march you to-morrow. ‘LEWIS WALLACE, Colonel Eleventh regiment Indiana Volunteers. August 14, 1861. SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI. ‘THE ROAD FROM SPRINGFIELD TO ROLLA. [From the Chicago Post, August 15.] Aformer citizen of Chicago, but more recently a resi- dent of Southwestern Missouri, furnishes us with the fol- Jowing description of Springfield, Mo. -— Springfleld is probably the most beautifully situated in- land city of Missouri. It ia built upon a.mnountain prairie— upon the highest point of the Ozark rauye—the dividing eminence of the northern and southern glope, about thir- teen hundred feet above the Missouri river at St. Louis. Adjoining and to the southwest lies Green’s prairie, which ia the name given to that portion of Grand prairie in ite immediate vicinity. ‘The country round about is beauti- fully rolling, diversified with ravines, valleys, springs and groves—principally prairie of the most productive character. The city itself contains about 3,000 inhabit- ants, and is the centre of a very large trade throughout Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas. It is stbstan- tinily built of brick, and truly boasts of good schools good hotels, fine churches. and wealthy and intelligent people. The Northern element has had marked influence upon its prosperity. Its splendid bank, hotel and court house (now im process of construction} would do credit to any city of more Kastern civilization, and many of its private residences are costly and magnificent. Among its most noted citizens are the Hoa, John 8. Phelps (Colonel of the Home Guards), who hi represented Southwest Missouri in Congress ever was of ago (for tweuty years and more), who refused to Join the Golden Circle of rebels in the jast election, and triumphantly carried the majority of his district for the Hov, Stephen A. Donglas, and who now is doing so much in the organization of troops, &c., for the support of our constitution, our country, and our flag; the Hon. Sample Orr, late Bell-Everett nominee for Governor vs. Claib. Fox Jackson; the Hon. Mordacai Oliver, late member of Congress from Northern Missouri, and present Secretary of State in the provisional goverument; Judge Meddebery Hendricks, and others—all good Union men and true, are also residents of Springfeld. Springfield has her Knighta of the Golden Circle— among whom, and probably at the head, is Honorable William Price, late United States Sub-Treasurer, who is more familiarly known as * Wild Bill.’ He *‘ joined teams” with General Rains, of Larcoxie, to beat tho Hon, John &, Phelps for Congress in the last election, and tried to do itby physical arguments, wich he undertook to apply at Mount Vernon, in Jasper county; but the Hon. Mr, Phelps quietly and gently knocked him’ down, and so Wild Bill withdrew from the canvass. Springileld is also one of the principal depots of the late Butterfield & Co.’s overlaud Culifornia United States mail stages to the Pacific. The road run by this company from Tipton on the main branch of the Pacitle road, pags- ing directly thraugd that city to Fort Smith, Arkansas, Mhenee on \o Bl Paso dwg fle. It is also the diverg:” ing point to theSouthwest—Santa #e, Albequerke , South- ern Kansas and the Indian Nation. As astrategic point for the central of Southern Missouri, Arkansas, the Indian Nation, and even Texas, it is of vast importance to the government. For years it hag been ¥ gite of the Unked States Land Office for that frontier district. itis within a day’, journey of the spleuitid Jend. tunes of Granby; in fact, it is the business centre of what is termed by Profesor Swallow, State Gcologist of Missouri, the most productive mineral country (lead and zine) in the world. It is probably this knowledge that has caused. ko large an army of rebels from Louisiana, Tennessee, Te: Missouri and Arkansas to conceutrate in this bor- der country, and probably it was this which imluced Goueral Lyon, with that remarka foresightedness for which he was “1, to ‘take possession of this city and defend jt wit is life. From Springiield to” Rolla the country is more rongh, and in places through which the road passes, upon the head waters of the Gasconade, the scenery is’ grand and torritic. If Sieg lucky euough to dccupy one of these mountain forts, all hell, with its rebels let loose, can’t touch him in his masterly re- treat, which in history wjll vie with that of Zenophan and that of ten thousand Greeka Seong “™- — __ CAPTAIN W, F. FRE ThE Chicago Post, August 15.] On the recommendatiou of General McClellan, Captain. W. F. Smith, of the regular army, has been appointed a Brigadier General of the volunteer army.

He became known te the many admiring citizens of this city while he had the su- perintendence of the harbor improvements, two years since. It was then, we believe, that he and General McClellan first met. At any rate, they were for months on terms of considerable intimacy.

The War Bulletin office on Pine, between Fitth and Sixth: and that of the Missourian, on Locust, betwoen Fourth and Fifth streets, were visited each by asmall squad of sol- diers, who very quietly effected the object desired. By order of the Provost Marshal, Col. MoNeil despatched @ equad of troops to search the residence of Mr. H. Mo- Kollops, on Olive, between Fourth and Fifth streets, and that of Wm. Wade, on St. Charles, near Sixth street. ‘Wade's ofiice, on Olive, near Main strect, was subjected to asimilar aitention. "Arrests were also made, by the United States Marshal of Wade, H. N. Hart, Moritz Neid- ner, J. H. Blood, A. H. Menken’ and several others. ‘We understand that warrants are in the United States Marshal's hands for the arrest of a large number of por- sons on the charge of complicity with enterprises of trea- son. A score or a0 of terror-atricken gentlemen are said in consequence to have suddenly departed from the city. ‘At the residences searched a quantity of papers were seized, which are expected to disclose more or less of evidence against the parties arrested. PROVOST MARSHAL—ARREST OF BROWNLER. By this time about every person in the city 1s aware that martial law has been declared and established there- in by Major Genoral Fremont, commanding the Military Department of the West. ‘The legal status also embraces: the entire county of St. Louis. Many people had enter- tained vaguo and fearful apprehensions respecting the natureand results of the step thus taken, but it has as been followed by no unhappy consequences. bas eo an Provost sarsbial af the ‘etty, Major McKinstry yesterday issued an order for the arrest of John A. Browntee, President of the Board of Polico Com- miseioners, upon ‘the grave charge of treason. The ar- rest appears not to been unanticipated by Mr. Brownlee’s friends, and in fact took few persous by sur- prise. The order to effect tt was issued ‘to Colonel John MeNoll, of the Third regiment United States Reserve rps. After some inquiry, Colonel McNeil found Mr. Brown- Ice, at abont noon, at this residence, ‘and at once took. him in custody and placed him ow ‘board the govern-: ment steamer Empress. It was announced that the pri-y soner would be taken to Cairo for safekeeping, but oni the protestations of ‘his friends, setting forth that in the, | eatvebled stato of his health such @ eourse would Prove dangerous ifnot fatal to hine, it was concluded to retain him here. Ho was accordingly conducted in a -earriage to the Arsenal, where he wrrived at about four P.M. Comfortable and secure apartments were assigned ‘him ovor Colonel Frederic’s headquarters, on the second oor of's stone building, near the eentre of the grounds. Mr. Basil Duke, elected by the Board of Police Commis- sioners to fill the post. made vaeant by the removal of Mr. Brownlee, yesterday morning entered upon the dis- charge of his duties. Major McKjnstry’s proclamation, given below, was published on the streets last evening, and was read with Senoral gratidcation. Tt is appropriately calculated to allay disquiet and strengthen the consciousness of public ‘and private security. PROCLAMATION.

(From the St. Louis Democrat, August 15.] ‘The five o’clock train from Pilot Knob, yesterday even- ing, brings us news that there bad not been even so much as an alarm at that place, and the whole story of Hardee’s march upon the town and the burning of bridges by the rebels, which kept the city in such a fever of ex- citement all ‘day yesterday, was a sheer fabrication, hatched in the* disordered or malignant imagination of some secessionists. Such things should be stopped. We have sources onough of alarm and excitement without manufacturing any to torture the community. THE INCREASE IN OUR NAVY. LAUNCH OF THE FIR6T OF THE TWENTY-THREE NEW GUNBOATS. ‘The first of the twenty-three gunboate lately ordered to be built by the United States government was launched’ yesterday afternoon, from the ship yard of Mr. John Englis, at the foot of Tenth street, Fast river. The hour for the launch to take place was five o'clock, but it was alter six before the operation was gone through with. Long before five the yard was crowded with persons of both&eexes, und the river was alive with small boats, while every prominent point in the vicinity was covered with human beings eager to see the vessel enter that ele- ment in which she is hereafter to occupy such @ promi- nent position. For the few moments’ before she glided into the water, and whem the men were busily engaged in striking away tho stanchions that supported her, and kept her in her place, the expectations of the people ‘were at the highest, and when finally she was scen ta move, the shouts that rent the air proved that the interest excited was above the common. Owing to the narrowness of the opening in front of the yard, the veseel as she left the shore struck with some’ violence against the pier on the left hand side, and for some time it was expected that sho was seriously injured, but upon examination it proved that if anything was damaged it was the pier. A steam tug was in attendance to tow her to hor place where she will lie to take {u her machinery and boilers. She will be schooncr rigged,and will be supplied with two screws, driven by two engines with thirty inch cylinders. Each engine it is intended shail be complete in itself, This is a great ad- vantage, As in cage one should be damaged by a shot the other will be able to propel the vessel, and it gives to the vessel a much greater spged, as it is expected that will be able to acquiré a Yate of fifteen dr sixteen miles an hour, Her length is one hundred and sixty-six foot, the width twenty-cight feet, and the depth twelve feet. It is thought that’ she will draw about nine feet of water. Tho timber of which she is constructed is composed chiefly of white ,aak, and the greatest care has been taken that the solid posis of the vessel, such as the knees, braces, &c.,sheuld be of the finest quality and of the heaviost description. By this means these vessels by their great streagth will prove themselves to be ane of the most effective branches of our navy. ‘The armament will consist of twelve thirty-two pounders and @ pivot gun amidships. This piece is ex- x1 to be one of the largest calibre, probably one of »famous columbiads. When completed these vessels will prove a terrible foe to any enemy. Another of three gunboats will be Inunched from the yard of Mr. Vestervelt, at the foot of Houston street, in a few days. TENTS FOR OUR ARMY. The proposals for furnishing 10,000 small tents for the army, to be made like the Freach fente abri, were opened yesterday at the Quartermastor Geueral’s office, and were ag folloy Se Re ee Price. ew York, agent. 100 & Co., Nathaniel Coles, New YOrk.... ‘Wm.

Astory is told of the Hon. John A. Gurley, representa- tive in Congress from the Second district of Ohio, which will bear repeating. The honorable M. C., like Mr. Ely, wanted to see a battle, and overpowered by his curiosity, he took his horse and gig and followed on after the army.
