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.

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.’ ” [From the Newborn (N. (’.)

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, more, Everett anil Cuss, lioury and grizzled shippers of the seven principles of the loav and fishes, became such zealou* advocator -* ■ And ttins' it glided, blt>ped und l») Mine* of untold n’cnliii r JIuliimr In Me rl Then* it inei wti.h cordial welcome, Borne nlo:t in iuc.eu**: ^itUeftil Clouds received it on th&ir busoins—soutlt winds Ik it far away.

L*1n<10:inuk [Correspondence of the Macon Teleutnpb.] 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.
