Advices fromm Northwest Missouri state that eince the withdrawal of the Union troops from St. Joseph the rebels & that region lave commenced arming again. frme tw» thousand rebels are concentrated in Andrew county under Major Potter, and about the same number of Tnivnists, composed of Missourians and Jowans, under Goioneis Craner and Edwards, are stationed in the same region, Both sides are proparing for battle, and a congict te shortly expected. Tom. Haines, with one thonsand mien, crossed the Mis- ‘souri river at Arrow Rock on Tuesday last, bound for Gen, Price’s army. Six hundred rebels, under Col. Hull, were marching to- wards Glasgow on Wednesday, to cross the river and join Martin Green's force. The rebel camp at Lick creck, Monroe county, was breken up by the Union troops on Sunday last, and it is Teported that three hundred rebels were captured. Another camp at Spencerburg, Pike county, was Dreken up on Monday and sixteen rebols taken prisoners, Hansrnat, Mo., Sept. 12, 1861. ‘The following appears in the Messenger of this mor- ‘faing:—All that wo can hear confirms the previous reports Shat the rebels have full possession of St. Joseph, and are doing pretty much as they please in that city. It is re- presented that they have taken the control of municipal @muirs, and are preventing the egress and ingr.ss of both the mails and passengers. They have also levied heavy contributions on several stores, taking just what they wanted. The steamer Omaha has been seized and appropriated to their pur- peses, and we learn that an effert was made to send out tho inail by hand cars, but it was intercepted and taken ‘back; honce a complete blockade exists, which accounts for our getting no mail matter. The atraight eat Union mon have crossed the river to Elwood tor safety, and taxen the ferry boat with them. At Iatan dani Weston, it was said that the rebels permitted no one to go Into town, or out of it, without passes, From all we aan learn, tho Union men and their property in St. Joseph ¢ @nt the surrounding towns, are completely at the mercy ‘ef the rebels, and demand the immertiate interposition of the federal arms to save them from annihiliation, MOVEMENTS OF THE REBELS, Inontox, Mo., Sept. 18, 1861.

The correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat furnishes the following intelligen A messenger from Colonel Mulligan, at Lexington, re- perte that General Price’s advance guard reached War- Fensburg on Tuesday, and Goy. Jackson made them a speceh. General Price claima to have 16,000 men, and his main Body is approaching Lexington. This messenger brings au official account of @ skirmish Detween the rebels and General Love's forces, dated at Fort Bledsoo, near Fort Scott, the substance of whivu is as He says that immediately after leaving Springfield he despatchod General Raing to clear the counties bordering a Kausas of the marauding bands which have boen de- vastatirg that section of the country; that ho himself al- ance to General Raine’ assistance, and their combined foree encountered at Big Dry Wood creek the forces under Generals Lane, Montgomery and Jenison, and after a brick skirmish of an hour and a quarter the foderal troops retreated, and were pursued by his forces about Shree miles, He states his Joss at three killod and twenty- seven wounded, and says that he buried three of General Lane's nen. He concludes by saying that the enemy avo continued to retreat northward from Fort Kcott, which port they have abandoned, and adds:>—This re- Moves me of the necessity of pursuing them into Kansas, the soi! of which J am unwilling to invade, unless her citi gens sha'l provoke me to doso by couimitting renewed out ‘tages on the people of this State, and in that event I shall ot only cross the border, but will lay waste their farms and utterly destroy the cities und towns of that State,”” This correspondent adits:— ‘While this shows that there has been some skirmishing on tho borders, it does Bot prove that the rebels have gained any advantage: Dut on the contrary, {t would appear that they have found force too strong for them ant given up their plan of ad- wancing into Kansas, and turned upon the weaker force @ sx.ngion. Their design now is ev idently first to take Lextogton and thon bring Governor Jackson here.” OUR ST. LOUIS CORRESPONDENCE, % Sr. Louis, Mo., Sept. 11, 1861.

Hanns, Mo., Sept. 9, 1861. Affaire in Northern Missouri—Genral Fremont’s Energy— Arvest of @ Brigadier General ond Colonel-—The General's Claims to Consideration—M: Green's Whervalouls amd Operations—St. Joseph to de Ictaken bythe Unim Forces—Pribute to Colonel Moore—His Sons in the Ene- smy’s Ranks, do. ‘The recent disaster at Matte bridge, and the marauding depredations of Martin Green, the noted guerrilla partisan of Northeast Missouri, have had the effect of attracting the attention of the Commandant of the Western Depart- | ment to Northern Missouri, and in this division of the State, especially along tho line of the Hannilal and St. Joseph Railroad, we may look for active military opera- tions, and, possibly, some bloody fights. Of all this T shall keep you duly advised. Genera! Fremont’s great energy and sagacity have been directed till now to defensive operations in Southeast Missouri and at St. Louis. These points have been well ‘secured, and active operations are being commenced in tho interior of the State, and, as stated, in Northern Mis- sourl, Military operations in the latter section haye been ® series of blunders, resulting from’ the incapacity of those in command, and, as preliminary to a new order of things that emerges out of chaos when Fremont assumes the direction of affairs, two of the commanders on tho line of the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad are to-day under arrest, and have been ordered to report at St. Louie. These officers are Brigadier General 8. A. Hurlbut a Colonel —— Williams, of the Iowa Third, The first inebriety and general incapacity, and the latter, it {s said, for his untimely retreat from Green's forces at Shelbina. General Huribut has proved to be @ most incapa. ble officer. A ke is told about his ox ploits at Kirksville. It is said Colonel Moore, who de- feated Green at Athens, had laid an admirable plan for capturing the guerrilla chief at or near Kirksville; but when just in the act of plucking the prize Hurlbut camo up, countermanded the order and issued a proclamation commanding the rebels to disperse in five days. His pro- clamation giving notice of the imiaiuent danger from the Presence of a good Union force, of course the rebels broke camp, made a forced march, and next commenced thoir depredations at Suelbina by’ tearing up the railroad tr and forcing Colonel Williams to retreat rather ing ously. Martin Groon’s rebel operations haye been in the two ter of counties west of the Mississippi and north of tho Hannthal and St. Joseph Railroad, until Gen, Hurlbut'’s Proclamation sent him “kiting” down South. Of his Qper ations at Shoibina I have spoken. ‘To-day he is re- ported to be encamped near Paris, Mo., fifteen miles south oi Shelbina, three thonsand strong. If this is his present Position it is critical one. Two thousand Union troops came up the North Siissouri Railroad yesterday, a por- tion of whom disembarked at Mexico and the remainder at Renick, and are closing in upon Green, by columna from the south and southwest. Hudson, on the west, is garri- soned by Union troops, while a detachment guards Shel- Dina on the north. If tho bird is not already flown, Green cannot escape unless he makes a hasty retreat in a Tine utheast, and in that case he will be pursued by cavalry and light artillery. We may expect to hear of @ brisk fight in that direction to-night or to-morrow. A construction train went out on the Hannibal and St. Joseph road to-day. The latte bridge will be repaired and ready for crossing in a week. No othor dopredations have been committed on the road. In St. Jeseph, it is said, the rebels have sway in the abgenco of fede- ral troops, and are levying coutributio#s on the Union citizens to the amount ‘of $15,000, for which they give worthless “Jackaun State scrip.” Union forces will re take that city this week, under the nulitary orders now Out, of which T will not speak. If this fight with Green comes off you shall hear of the result. It is but @ just tribute to Colonel Moore to say that he is one of the most self-denying, loyal men of Missourt. In a word, he is the Brutus of our State, In the battle at Athens, in which he go sigually deveated Gre hig own sons fought in the rebel ranks, and it i one of the young Moores recognized his fathe ed him out toa comrade. It is to be hoped. that that son ig but another prodigal, who will repent and return to the old homestead, DEPARTURE OF THE SIXTH NEW JERSEY REGIMENT FROM TRENTON, ‘This regiment left for the scat of war at noonon Tuesday, from Trenton, N.

Colonel Hatteld fas been connected with thi u tia of New York and New Jersey for over thirty years, during which time he has risen from the rarks to Briga’ dier General. He served in this city for imi years, after which he became counected with tho New Jersey militia by being elected, in 1850 to the position of First Lieutenant of the Highwood Gvard, of Hoboken. In 1852 he was elected Captain, which pusition he held with great credit to himself 4s well as to the corps he commanded, «bored hard, and his command was acknowledged to one of the crack corps of the State. During the Pergen riots Colonel Hatfield was among the first to lead his command tothe scene of disturbance, and rendered mo t efficient service on each occasion. About four years ago he was tendered the position of Brigadier Genvial of the Hudson Brigade, which he at first declined, prefer- Lng to remain as commandant of the Highwood’ Guard. However, on the following year he was induced to ac cept the position, and which he now holds, having during that time Brough vp to perfect disci- line, and was the first to secure the Adoption af a re, Brigade uniform in the State.

(From the Richmond Corrospondent of the Memphis Appeal, Sept. 16.) Riciutonn, Sept. 5, 1861. Rain, rain, rain—it seems as if Jupiter Pluvius had come down upon the country to drive Mars-out of it, for in we have weeping skies and muddy stroets, encamp- ments drenched with water and roads absolutely im- passable to the army trains. Lincoln mry weil say, “ Apres mii, le Deluge.” If it continues to pour t . out the month as it has done, with very brief intervais, since the 16th August, there will be a meteorological ar- mistice of sixty days before our war dogs can shake off the moisture from their bides and rush again to the fight. In the mountains the chance is that the incessant showers will render any forward movement impracticable until winter sets in and puts a stop at once to all warlike operations. Alas, thore are other considerations connected with the weather which force themselves Painfully upon Us; the sickness among the trocpe increases, and the decay of the rank vegetation of the summer must'produce malaria which will carry 4 many & brave young fellow ere the ap- pearanceof frost. Tthas been said frequenily, and it iapro- bably true, that a general with the enemy, either im the Peninsula or om the line of the Potomac, would pro- ably prone leas divastrous to us than the fever of the neat forr werl's wil be. This must be accepted as one of the mis- fortunes of war, and we can only struggle against it by Securing the greatest possible degree of comfort and atten- tion to the sick in the hospitals, and providing proper clothing for the entire force in the eld, in anticipation of the approaching season of cold. The hospital daty de- volves chiefly on the citizens of Virginia,male and female, and I am happy to assure you that they are devoting themselves to it with affectionate zeal and tender solici- tude. The work of provtiing winter clothes will be dis- tributed among the people of the Confederate States, and we caunot doubt will be faithfully and seasonably per- formed. ———$ Accident at Wheatley’s Theatre=S: Ballet Girls Badly Burned PMLDELIINA, Sept. 14, 1861.

On the other hand, the soldiers were delighted with his presence and company ; for it is @ peculiarity of the French troops to be passionately fond of children, and the grim visaged warrior who would burn down an Arab village without @ Sigh will nurse an infant tenderly, and shed tears at the Prattle of an engaging little child. Marshal Dirt aerived at Chalons lately, on a visit to the Emperor and General MacMahon, who commands the camp. After dinner he aske | th» young Princo (n about seven years old) if ho understood the marual- arms exercise. The boy immediately ran out, and, ro- turning with his musket, placed himself at ‘attention’? outside the tent, and waited the pleasure of tho Marshal: for drill. Marshal Canrobert immotiately went out aud gave tho: word, “Shoulder,” “Carry,” and Order arms,” all of which were promptly executed. He then ordered, “Pre- Pare to prime and load.” *Prime”—to put powder under the pan of a flint lock musket—when the Prince threw down his piece aud laghingly shouted, “Marshal, you forget your regalement (rudiments of bis education): this 1# the timo of percussion caps.” At this he started off to announce the fact of the oblivivusness of the great commander to his father, the Emperor. The incident has caused the imost lively sensation among the eighty thousand men in camp, and bursts of laughter follow its recital every evening in the tents, the soldiers observing that the young moulard—mustard or & “spicy fellow”—is too sharp for the old man, and true scion of the ‘old stock’’—Napoleon the First. The Gold Ficlis of Nova Scotia. OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE PROVINCIAL SECRITARY TO THE LIEUTENANT GOVEKNOR—SITUATION AND YIELD OF THE DIGGINGS. Hon. Joseph Howe, Financial Secretary of Nova Scotia, has presented a report to the Farl of Mulgrave, Lieuten- ant Governor of the colony, on the above subject, which has already attracted considerable attention in the United States. We reproduce the main points of the paper to- day. ‘The Secretary says:—The existence of auriferous: deposits in Nova Scotia was unsuspectd till 1860. In March, this year,a man, stooping to drink at a brock, found @ piece of’ gold shining umong tl bles Gyer which the stream flowed. He picked itup, and search- ing, found more, ‘This ws about half a mile to the castward of the debouchment of the Tangier river, @ Stream of no great magnitude, taking ius rise not very far from the sonrers of the Musquodoboit, flowing through a chain of lakes which drain, for many: miles on cither site, @ rugged aud wilderness country, and falting into the Atlantic about forty miles to the east? ward of Halifax. Your Exceliency visited the mines in May, aml your attention was arreste! by the fact that two men from one of the agricuitural districts had take from a. pit, dug four fect wite by five fect deep, seveuty- five doilays’ worth of gold, three’ days prior to your visit. As six dolars would have paid these men for their labor, it was apparent that they had male a profit of sixty-ning dollars in three days, This profit was not derived from the chance discovery of a nugyet, but from crashing the quartz, veins of which, there was good reascn to belicve, ran for m long the sea ovist,or from washing the erembling rock and soil by which they wero surrounded. Th Tangier minex been visited during the sum- mer by your Excellency, by Rear Admiral Milne, by Prince Napoleon and the Princess Ciotikie. They were visited Inst week by the Fon. Mr. Tilley, Provincial Seere- tary of Now Brunswick. ‘the lowest depth yet reached is torty-tive feet, and the largest nugget found is valued 100. The gold is got in q vartz veiug, running tifrongh or earth, resting upon g anite, in the form of scales, Jagged and torn bits, like shet or Ballets fired against wall, It_is sometimes globular, but seldom completely round. The veing run east and west. It is found in the sof! immediately around the veins, but placer washing has not been very profitable at Tangier, or perhaps has not ben attempted ona gcate sufllciently extensive to command a fair return, ‘The qvartz veins run in al! directions through the pro- montory, and are visible to the naked eye without labor. ‘The vi the cirenmjacent sell were discoverod to be auriferous in June, and a great number of persons rushed im and began to stake off'claims. Though single lots were taken np by a good many, it wae evitent that the expert ence gathered at Tangier had ta:ght the value of combi- ation. mies were formed, and larger areas ap- Wied for, ‘The shore washings have proved very rich, Mr. Campbell having associsted himself with William Cunard, Esq. and Mr. R.G. Fraser, proceeded to work the four shore claims. which formed the frontage of some seventy np'and lots taken by this compan in the rear. (Tbongh no accnrate return has bec! given by thes® genti:men, there is every reason to boeliove that a very large sum has been taken from these shore claims within a menth, and the rights of those three gentlemen have since been sold to a larger company for £1 200, they retaining all that had been ob- tained upto theday of sale. At Tangior, Lunenburg, Lawrencetown, and Lake Thomas, the facts collect indiaputable; and the interest taken in those mii canitalists at home and abroad, and by a very large num- ber of.the industrious classes, warrant your Excellency in assuming, and go reported 'to the Secretary of State, that gold mining in those Iecalities, whatever may oc- cnr elsewhere, will be permanently ’ established as a new branch of industry, tempting to the capitalist and at- tractive to the immigrant.
