Tho reported return of @ por’ fon of the-Army of the Frontier to Springfield torns out premature. Only afew hundred sick and wonnded men and officers on furloughs have arrived there, aud ‘abe place waa comparatively defenceless when the onemy Attacked it yesterday. ‘The force at Springfield was under command of Briga- @er General Egbert B. Brown, of-the State militia sor. woe. Several months ago, when-Hindman commenced ‘Rls forward, movement, Springfield was fortified. Five forts were duilt, and between two of them rifle pits were made. Unluckily these forts were never mounted. Gene fal Schofeld’s movementa were 90 quick that al) ies, am attack by Hindman was sbandosed, ‘a4 20 cannon were ever mounted on the earthworks, ‘Wield pieves wore placed in the works, but subsequently femoved. On General Schefield’s arrival he changed the samen of the forts previously designated by the numerals ene, two, three, fear and five, and named them after the eed herees of Wilson's creek, respectively “Lyon,” /” “Grate” and two others not now remembered. ‘This was the situation of affairs on Wednesday morn- lag, when it was discovered in SpringSeld that the tele- Iine to Fayetteville was down. A repairer was sent Out to fix the wires, but he was gobbled up by the @vemy near Wileon’s creek, and never more heard from. About this time the Union farmers came rushing into the town with information that the rebels were approaching Springfield 6,000 stroug, with several pieces of artillery, ‘wader command of General Marmaduke and Colonel Bur- Bridge, both of Missouri. Strange to say, (he was the Qrat intelligence Gereral Brown, the commanding officer, (hed of the affair.

By this myncuvre they cut off the garrison at Ovark, the shire town of Christian county, ‘Wen under the command of Captain Flagg, troops which ‘Deing cavalry, they may have ezcaped unless surprised. At daylight yesterday morning they were met by are- @ounesitering party from Sprivefeld, on Jonn 8.

The streets be. fag wide, and the houres detached, less damage was in- Gicted them might have been expected. Three shells which did not explode penetrated the office, and the opérator says one of them rolled across the floor on lightly an ifke had gently pushed it. , _ General Brown in the meantime had stationed his pol. @iers in the houses on the edge of the town, and relied chiefly on musketry and the firing of two six-pounders to Tepel an attack. One of the fleld pieces was placed in Fort Lyon, and the other in the street near the cemetary. ‘Thie gun the rebels captured; but the other held them at ‘Day unti) our mon poured volleys of musketry into the rebe! ranks with deadly effect.

My latest intelligonce from Charleston is Drought by a dovorter from the rebel ranks, who reached here a day or | two since, This man, who belonged to the Twenty-first | regiment of fouth Carolina Volunteers, left his camp on | Morris island on the merning of Christmas day, eluding | the usual vigilance of the sentinels by moans of > forged permit to gather oysters on Folly Island, whence he made his way along the beach to the mouth of the Stone river, aod was taken off by the gunboat Ottawa. From bim I arn that the people of Charleston are now lev, apprehensive of an attack by the federals than at any time since November last, but that the forces for the defence of the eity are still very strong, and very confident of their ability to repel any blow which ‘we may choose to strike. The troops on James Island number from 15,000 to 20,000 men, One regiment of infantry, eight bundred and fifty strong, and one com. pany of artillery occupy Morris Island. Sullivan's Island is held by two regiments of infantry and two batteries of artillery, in additien to the garrigon of Fort Moultrie, Fort Sumter con- tains a garrison of six hundred and fifty men, while in the new fort in the middle ground is stationed still another company of fifty men. The beach between Ashley and Cooper rivers ig lined with batteries, while the works at Fort Johnson, Secessi nville and in the vicinity of Wappoo river have all been muterially strengthened since the departure of our forces {rom the Stono river, Zz halfa year ago. The naval force i. tho harbor consiats of two vessels, constructed for the defence of the city, ‘but lacking in every requisite essential for speed or for service at sea. These gunboats, one of which mounts five guns, while tho other has but three, are constructed somewhat after the manner of the origina) Merrimac, ‘with sloping sides and an armor of railread and bur iron. It would be strange if the people of Charioston did not by thia time entertain hopes of holding out unconyuered and uncaptured, till the end of the war, Nearly two yeurs of uninterrupted preparation, aided by the best of engincering skil! which the rebel market could afford, have made the city almost impregnable, and have begotten a confidence whieh is every day increasing.
