uot for sleeping at thelf posts at
and Geueral Wool has approved
The time of execution Is to be
tbu account of tin* two affairs, as we copy them
from a northern paper:
TIIK FIRST ENGAGEMENT.
The particulars of the engagement, as far as
we can learn, are that Geueral Pope made a
forced march upon the enemy, got between them
(apparently near Shawnee Mound, as the rebels
were cucuiuped at Clinton, in Henry eouuty,
and Chilhowe, In Johnson county), and surpris
ed them ; for as soon as they at the latter place
heard ol his approach ifiey beat a rapid retreat
towards Hose llill, Johnson eouuty, leaving all
thdr baggage, arms, mliutious, papers, &c., iu
our possession.
Geueral Pope then threw forward ten com
panies ol cavalry and u sectiou of artillery in
pursuit, following with the main body of his
army. ,
Those at Clinton retreated southerly towards
Osceola, and southwesterly towards Johnstown;
for we find tlmt one section of rebels at Jobu*-
stuwn, Bates county, were so closely pursued
that they scattered in all directions, but mostly
towards the south.
On the other band, we find that Gen. Pope
forced a strong cavalry reeonuoissauee to within
liftccu miles ol Osceola, and intercepted arnica^
lured,one hundred aud j• ,,
and all o-ssagv.-iioGS, Hr. Giber squads.
iA4»ij» tome ten to fifteen, were taken, making
the aggregate number about three huudred.
All this was clone without fighting, the sur
prise being so perfect as to cause a complete
pauie and rout ol the rebels.
Gen. Pope, in his report to the Commander of
the Department, say%<:
The whole countr/betweeu Rose Hill on the
west, and Grand river on the south, is clear of
rebels.
“Grand river” is another name for that por
tion of the Osage river.
TUE SECOND ENGAGEMENT.
Further information.received Irom the West,
is to the effect that, ln addltiou to the expe-
peditiou of lien. Pope against the enemy at and
near Clinton, another part of his forces, under
Col. Davis and Maj. Marshall, surprised another
camp of the rebelb on the afternoon of the lStb
inst., near Milford, a little North of Wafrens-
burg. A brisk skirmish ensued, when the
rebels, finding themselves surrounded, sur
rendered.
Col. Davis took 1,300 prisoners, including
three colonels, seventeen captains, a thousand
stand of arms, sixty-five wagons, a thousund
horses, and a large quantity of tents, baggage
and supplies. *
Our loss is two killed and eight wounded.
The rebel loss is not yet known.
Information from Glasgow stales that our.
troops captured about two tous of powder buried
on Claib. Jackson's farm.
MnJ. riublmrd captured sixty rebels, a day or
two siuce, in Johnson county. The iroops in
Kansas have been stirring during the past week,
and good news is expected from them daily.
This news shows plainly that the plan cf at
tack has been well considered and effectively
carried out. Thu official dispatch from Gen.
Halleck confirms the nows.
We tlud the following additional particulars in
the Louisville Courier, copied from a Yaukee
exchange. Ol course allowance must be made
for falsehood and exaggeration :
bat in a few moments alturwaru* his house was sur
rounded by soldiers. 'I hey then Beni for the lady of
the houte, who threw a wrapper over her shoulders
and'came down stairs Two «»r three of the soldiers
then detained tho lady in the par’or, while two others
of tlndi counades proceeded up stairi with their pii-
soucr and watch while he dte.-ees himself, to see mat
he slips nothing into his pocket. Tue roBtoftiio
Federal invrinid ns Fcarch every corner and nook of
the house', ir keys are not dedveied up to them,
they break tie* doors. To show how minutely they
ransack, it took them from three o’clock to seven, A.

“On
l* lauy asked permission to seud for iter lather
or brother, who lived acro-s the street The request,
however, was denied her. Another ludy asked to call a
female friend next door; but-was refused. They
then read aloud to her the let>rs her husband lmd
written to her before her marriage, which they cume
across while searching her writing desk, and laughed
over them before her. They would not tell where
the geiitlomea, whom they aireoted, were to be taken ;
a- d tacit families only learned fruin public sources
that they went next day to Fortress Monroe. Their
imprisonment there was simply boHMly, They were
put Into casemates communicating one with another,
the doors and windows of winch were blocked up
with a Yomtidti shutter, fastened ont-ide with iron
11 '\; y 1 iFlVi(i'll 1 Virile came i ti io iTndi rooms.
Duly during the brightest hours of the day could they
see toreaa—and • hey were never allowed to leave
those rooms for any purpose. Two wooden boxes,
containing two horse-buckets, served as a water closet;
and these were emptied once a day. I suppose tho pa
pers give the names of this ‘noble army ol martyrs.’
So you may conceive whut it is for men like John
Hunson Thomas, Wm. Harrison, Cuiules H. Pitta aud
8. Teakle Wallis to he subjected to such treatment.
“ 'These gentlemen, 1 underaUud, sent to oue or
their friend- iu Baltimore for a quantity ol disinfec
tants, notwithstanding wliicu .he atmosphere t i
which thev were subj cted was staling and into!era
bie. After two week- confinement in Fortrecs Mon
roe they were dispatched to Fort Lufuyetto; and so
closely had they been Imprisoned that they even en
Joved the prospect of sea sickness. They arrived a-
Fort Lafayette without accident at t» P. M , and the 3t
prisoners were turned into one large casemate, tho
lloor of waich was rough bricks set upon end, ane
the only laniitnre was guns and gun carriages Thd
prisoners wtre not allowed even their trunks to
on, the excuse being that t hey could no* take time it
search the trunks mat n»ght. 'The trunk.-, however,
had already been ruinag«d thoroughly when taken
from the homes of the prisoner-, again when they
arrived at Fortress Monroe, and once again when
they left it : beside-, the gentlemen had been all
that time under a strong military guard The tea
had been very rough, aud some of the prisoners had
been very sea sick, but they had to walk their rooms
through the uight. Next morning the prisoners were
given their trunks, and the next uight they had them
to sit upon : and they could take tueir thick clothing
out, cover the bricks and lie down. The third day
they had loose straw given them, and they could lie
upon the fioor. After ten days, iron bedeteads were
furnished them, and cotton bags, tried with loose
straw', for beds; bat no bed furniture, except for such
as had had the precaution to btiilg it . The prisoner?
were sliowHiii Urn liberty of the square yurd within
the fort, tor certain hours during the clay. They can
buy caudles, but must put them out at nine o'clock,
when all conversation must cease. There is no fire
in the casemate, and no way of having one The
are two smaller rooms. 14 by 22 feet, with wooden
floors ami stoves, ln which ten or twelve of the older
and more delicate prisoners are placed. One of ilie
Baltimore gentlemen has had two hemorrhages since
Ids imprisonment, aud another's mind is very deci
dedly afiectcd. I see, by yesterday’s New York pa
pers, that hs is a maniac. The prisoners are not al
lowed writing materials, and all letters seut to them
are opened aud examined. These details l get from
a ‘reliable source.’ ”

*1,086,404,on
These are the figures furnished by official
documents for the two years commencing first
July, 1861, and eudiug 30lh Julie, 1863. They
embrace tbe expenditures of llie Government
for a period of two years, together witli those
of halt of April, and May and June, 1861, the
first mouths of the war. Ol tho period thus
covered, only the expenses ol about six mouths
are definitely ascertained; those of the residue
of the lime being conjectural and estimated,
The actual expenditures ol the six months lor
which they are ascertained, exceeded the rsti
mates submitted to Congress in -Inly, *214,000,-
000. At the same ratio of excess, the ruul ex
penditures lor the uext eighteen months of the
period estimated for, Will require additional ap
propriations to supply deficiencies, of six bun
dred and forty millions; and the aggregate
shown by thu above table will be swollen to
seventeen huudred and twenty millions. It
would he a very moderate computation to as
sume that the actual expenditures for the two
years, estimated at ten hundred and eighty mil
lions, will he Iroui twelve hundred aud filly to
fifteen hundred millions ; or more than six bun-
died luiilivus a year.
Thus, the expenses of the Federal Govern
ment are ut the rate ol sixty millions of dollars
a month, or two millions of dollars per day.—
Considering that this expenditure is disbursed
almost wholly within the Northern Stales,
whose population is twenty millions, the aver
age amount -of money which is thus paid thu
Northern people by their Government in pur
chase of their support to itsell and It* measures
are nearly fifty dollars to each man, woman and
child per annum, which is the largest capitation
expenditure ever yet recorded iu the auuals of
finaucc.
This enormous amount of expenditures, wero
it not officially disclosed, would seem inernir-
ble ■ and It reveals the must stupendous system
of largesses disbursed to a corruptible, money-
loving people, fur supporting -in unholy uieus-
uru, which the history of mankind affords.
These official statements remove all doubt as
to the means bywblcll the public sentiment of
tbe North, a large portion of which wn* onco
so btrongly in favor ol justice to the South, and
so violently hostile to measures 01 coercion, has
been wholly changed. It can i.o longer tie a
matter of conjecture why Vallaudigbaui, Fierce
and Bright are the solitary voices among tweft
ty millions to refuse their sanction to this war ;
it can lio longer be necessary to surmise why so
sudden a change waB wrought in the sentiments
ot such fierce fire-eaters na.Dallus, flushing and
Picayune Butler; it can no longer admit ol con
jecture why such time servers as Buchanan,

Fayetteville, Auk., Dec. 4tU,
Dear Bro. John:- in tho providence ot Uoil
my noil and family are at this place, i left Fort
Scott, Kansas, on the 14th ult., ahd have
thus far, on my flight Irom a land of murderers
and robbers, beeu wonderfully preserved. It Is
a wonder to me that wc are all alive and in u
land of freedom ; but the Lord has done It. In
.June Inst, run Joe left us, dec larim; that In; could
no longer resist his seufe of duty, and In Au
gust, Montgomery nud Lane encamped upon
our place al Fort Scott, burnt up our place and
destroyed our whole crop-declaring that such
men should support their army in the war.
They took our beef cattle, burnt lour thousand
rails and destroyed thirty acres of corn, and eight
acres of sugar cane; took a fine mare, “addleund
bridle, aftd left us destitute of every earthly ar
ticle ot sustenance. Sou Joe had gone from us
iu June, and we never heard distinctly from
him, till about the 1st November. To gel awav
from Fort Scott, I sold my place to /an
officer in the Federal anny locklfeWU—it Lad
been valued at $16,000. The ddyflltfet I left,
a Jayhuwkinir company overtook,in«, took away
three double-barreled shot guns, and declared
that that night they would take all £ had. aud
leave mo destitute on the prairie. We passed a
horrible night—“I cried unto the Lord and He
heard me.” Next day, about 10 o'clock, the
children commenced voluntarily singing:
“There Is a happy laud,” and light appeared un
to me. I am now 160 miles from Fort Scott,
we breathe easy, nnd believe that the Lord is
with me, and that I am delivered fronuhe hands
of the Philistines. In a day or two 1 shall move
ftirlher South, and when I gel to a good point 1
will write to you, and stop for the Whiter. My
whole property has been taken from me, bnt l
am not yet dispirited. 1 lack but ‘Jl days of be*
lug three score years aud ten ; but the Lord i*
with us. .1 want to hear from you, and when l
can get to a place where 1 cun winter 1 will let
you know, aud shall expect to bear from you and
all my friends, f believo the South will suc
ceed, and the cause of truth triumph. 1 huve
not a good chance to write, and you will make
allowances.
Your brother. Brill Buantly.
P. S.—My dear son Joe got to me from
Price’s army, two nights ago. lie had been gone
five months; was in the battl* of Springfield,
and is anxious to join a Georgia Regiment. The
South is right, and will succeed. The Lord he
with you. H. B.
