We gather from the Memphis (Tenn) Appeal of July 24th, the following’in formation relative to affairs in Missou ri. Kansas City, July 19.—The Fort Scott Democrat, of the 13th, furnishes the following Items : Gen. Lyons, who is now marching S"uth towards Springfield,. has about COO men, including Major George’s com mand, 24 pieces of field artillery of all descriptions, an abundance of ammuni tion and a full train of baggage wag ons. Md’ulloch and Jackson have retuC.Tf ed across the Arkansas line for the pur pose of drilling their troops. Their av ailable force is placed at 11,500, i iclu di g tbe Texan Rangers and a Missis sippi regiment. Gen. Lyons strength will be between 10,000 and 15,000. The Jay hawkers under Janneson have been stationed on the State line, below this place, some days. Janneson will main tain a force of from 200 to 500 men in that region, until the United States troops an ive A train which passed this place about a month since, with the families and property of the United States soldiers fiom the Indian country was intercepted and searched by him a few days since. There can be no d >ubt but Missouri is to be the Western battle field, and it will be a bloody one. She needs all the help she can get, and if she is not sus tained Arkansas, Texas and Lousianna, and other States South of us will sutler. It is useless to shut our eyes to these things, and our millitary men must look to tlie defense of the Arkansas border, in order to preserve the other States of the Confederacy South. Virginia will be the Eastern battle ground, and Mis souri the Western, and the sooner Mis souri receives aid, the better it will be for the States < outh of us. The Republican makes the following brief mention of the worse than infernal atrocities perpetrated by the Lincoln hirelings in North Missouri. The death of Mr. Palmer, as repic sented to us, rivals in atrocity the acts' of the mountains. He was taken pris oner, and in the hands of the Zouaves. They proposed to hang him. He entreat ed for his life declaring that he was loyal to the government. A rope was put around his neck, and he was taker* across the track in the direction of a tree from which it was designed to sus pend himself. Rather than suffer suck a fate, he attempted to escape, and the* chivalrous soldiers fired upon him. The ballsjtore his head off,and his body was perforated with bullets. It was said, but we will not. believeit, ihat thecemmand was to take no prisoners. A man called Bill Enwards was also killed. At. Jonesborough station, a father and two sons, by tl.c name of bkinner were killed. Ihe Fori Smith Timesand Herald, of of the 12 li has the following. Major Potter, sheriff of this county, returned from Missouri last night di rect from Carthage the scene of the late conflict between General Raines and the St. Louis Dutch. He tells us that the battle was fought principally with cannon, th • Dutch hailing eight pieces an<l the Missourians seven. The con tending parties in the fight ran over, ill retreating and changing, about fifteen miles ot g ound. They fought all day, ami when the Dutch retreated they kept up firing until 10 o’clock at night. The Missourians lost eight killed and two mortdly wouidcd, besides oth ers slightly wounded. 'J he Dutch lost a large number, most of them being thrown into wagons and hauled off, ami eighteen found dead on the field, a. part of which were found in a creek in tlio water. Gen. McCulloch’s and Pearce’s com mand did not reach the scene of action until the day after the fight, and could not pursue the enemy, as the men and horses were too much jaded by forced marches If they had been able to pur-, sue the enemy, the whole command would have been captured. Captain Mclntosh, adjutant general proposed to lake 1,000 men and pursue them, but it was not thought best. Major Porter speaks in the highest terms of the I ravery and gallantry of Captain Mclntosh. He was with him when he captured the Dutch at Neosho. He says that as they enter d the town of Neosho the women cheered them by the waving of handkerchiefs and bon nets. The Dutch were quartered in the court house, and Capt. Mclntosh gave them ten minutes to surrender, and which they did in nine, marching out of the court house, kneeling upon cue knee, and deliverieg up their arms. Capt. Mclntosh turned to our troops and said he hoped the troops would trefct the prisonsi s well, for ilie honor of Ar kansas. Then seeing the old flag flying, he said it ought to come down, which was no sooner said, than down it came. The women standing bp tore it into shreds. Jftor picking up all tl.c pick ets and fellows with soldier clo hes on . there turned out to be one hundered and twenty prisoners. It is stated that there are between the Georgia line and Manassas some twenty thousand Confederate troops on# the road to Virginia. And this is not all —the riivnbef is GQD.Uuually increasing.
