The Eight at Frederictown,
.Tlissouri.
The Louisville (Bowling Greeu, Ky.,)
Courier of the 28th, gives the following
particulars of the late Gpdit at Frederictown,
Mo., reported by telegraph:
We are pleased to have it in our power to
lay before our readers the true state of the
case in regard to the recent engagement be
tween the Federals and Missourians under
Jeff. Thompson. We have our information
from an eye-witness and a gentleman of un
doubted veracity.
It seems that by some previous arrange
ment there was a simultaneous movement of
two columns of the enemy—one from Cape
Giraru’e tu, t’.ie other from Farmington, or
some place on the Iron mountain railroad.
These columns were both inovine in the di
rection of Frederictown. Gen. Thompson
advanced bis army front Greenville on the
road that led to the same place. By good
fortune Thompson captured a messenger,
bearing a dispatch from the command of the
Cape Girardeau force to the commander of
the other column, bv which he ascertained
that it was proposed to unite these forces
around Frederictown, where it was supposed
Thompson was then encamped. Being thus
put on his guard, the daring leader deter
mined to cut off the enemy advancing from
the Capo, and then turn his attention to the
force approaching from the opposite direc
tion. lie laid his plans accordingly. But
alas!
The best laid schemes of men or mice
Gang oft a’ glee.
When the scouts reached the road by
which the enemy must, pass, it was discov
ered that they had gone on, and were at
Frederictown. Thompson then moved his
army up to a small stream, the St. Francis,
about three-fourths of a mile from the town,
and putting his army, about 1,100 strong,
in line of battle, boldly awaited the assault.
This was notinadc,however,until the junction
ol the two wiugs of the enemy. W hen this
took place, the entire force moved against
the Spartan band standing ready to receive
thorn. Our brave soldiers received the
shock like a wall of adamant, and pouring
in a terrible and rapid discharge, from can- i
non and musketry, caused the enemy to re- 1
coil in dismay. In a cornfield, around which
Thompson had placed the right wing of his j
army, the dead men lay like a swarth before j
the reaper. At this point, Col. Lane, who
was in command of the right wing, was
killed, falling at the head of his regiment.
When the enemy retreated, Cen. Thomp
son found himself restrained from pursuing
by prudential considerations, but availed
himself of the occasion to fall back and take
up a more eligible position, a few hundred
yards in his rear. To this point be was af
terwards pursued by a large force of the
enemy’s cava ll T> acting on the idea that be
was retreating. So soon, however, as a suf
ficient number of the foe had turned the
crest of an intervening bill, a party of as
brave men as ever touched finger to the trig- ,
ger speedily made them understand their
mistake. At the discovery of this band of
heroes, under the command of our neighbor
ami friend, Major Thomas Brown, they halt
ed, and those in the rear, not undeistanding
the matter, closed up and huddled them
selves together until they were literally
packed. Then our M ssouri boys turned
loose upon them with their deadly rifle and
shot gun. The effect was terrible. Every
saddle was emptied—not a man escaped. —
Terror, dismay and fear seized those in the
rear, and they fled back to the town. This
ended the fight.
The army under Thompson did not exceed
I,loo,while that of theonomyexceeded 3,000.
This rendered an attack upon their encamp
ment madness, ami, therefore, a return to
Greenville was ordered.
AN INCIDENT.
When the battalion under the command
of Major Tom Brown, found a troop of cav
alry huddled all together within point blank
distance, so near indeed that they could al
most lav their hands upon them, the Major
gave the word to fire. To his utter amaze
ment no report followed the order. Biown,
astonished at the failure of his men to obey
the order, looked aloug the line and found
every man firmly in his place—gun to
shoulder, and fiuger to the trigger. Fire!
G o <] d—n you, fire I exclaimed the Major.
In an instant two hundred guns belched
forth, hurling the fatal missies among the
devoted troopers. When asked afterwards
by the Major why they hesitated so long,
the hoys suid that the foe was so close, and
they had so dead a thing on them, that it
looked like a shame to take that advantage
of them.
FEDERAL ACCOUNT.
Pilot Knob, Oct. 22.
A special dispatch to the St. Louis Re
publican says:
From reliable parties, who witnessed the
fight at Frederictown, yesterday, I gather
the following particulars:
Col. Carlin, with parts of the 21st, 23d,
38th Illinois regiments, Bth Wisconsin, Col.
Bake’-’s Indiana cavalry and Major Scho
field’s battery, reached Frederictown at 9
o’clock in the morning, and at 1 o’clock in
the afternoon was joined by the 11th, 17th
and 29th Illinois regiments and 400 cavalry
from Cape Girardeau. They then advanced
in pursuit of the rebels under Jeff. Thomp
son and Col. Lowe, who had left the place
only 25 hours before and were reported to
be rapidly retreating southward, but about a
mile from town they discovered the entire
force of the enemy drawn up in line of bat
tle, posted in an open field and partly in the
adjacent woods, with four iron 18-pounders
well planted in their front.
Major Schofield immediately opened fire,
and at the fourth round silenced one of the
rebel guns. The engagement then became
general and lasted about two hours, but af
ter the fust half hour the rebels left the
field in disorder and took to the woods closely
followed by both our infantry and cavalry.
Before leaving the field the rebel Colonel
Lowe, was shot in the head and instantly
killed.
Major Gavitt received five bullets while
leading a charge thirty yards in advance of
his commaud. Capt. High man was killed
in the same charge.
Our loss is reported five killed, five mor
tally wounded nnd twenty slightly wounded.
The enemy’s loss is not ascertained, but it is
supposed to be considerable. At last ac
counts the rebels were in full retreat with
their baggage train, and our troops in pur
suit.
Special to the St. Louis Democrat.
ITwo rebel surgeons came into Frederic
v>wn for Col- I#qwo* Mjt Tkoj **k*°* K 1
edged a loss of over 200 killed and wound
ed, but it must have been larger.
I counted twenty-five dead bodies in one
stubble field.
Their cannon were badly managed.
Jeff. Th* mpsou got information of our
movements by capturing a bearer of dispatches
from Col Plummer to Col. Carlin.
From the Cincinnati Times, Oet. Ud.
The following dispatch was handed to us
at one o’clock:
Headquarters, St. Louis, Oet. 22.
Major (’onein : We have gained a com
plete victory at Frederictown, twenty live
miles from Pilot Knob; killed Lowe, the
rebel commander, and captured four pieces
of artillery. Their loss is very heavy, ours
small. C. McKeevkr, A. A. G.

From the Journal , Oct.'2Bth.
Latest From Louisville—lnterest
ing Information. —A gentiemau who left
L uisville on Tuesday evening last, and suc
cessfully run the blockade, furnishes us with
some quite interesting aud important infor
mation.
He says Gen. Sherman and Provost Mar
shal Dent have become exceedingly strict
and rigid. No more passes are granted to
parties wishing to eome through the lines,
aud no one is permitted to go down the river
or go towards Elizabethtown, Bardstown, or
Lebanon, on the raiiroad, without first ta
king the oath of allegiance. Quite a number
of persons, lately returned from Europe and
the North, nr 2 in Louisville anxiously await
ing an opportunity to come South.
Our informant states that troops from the
North were rapidly pouring into Louisville,
aud that Gen. McCook’s command between
Louisville and Nolin numbered not less than
30,000 men. Notwithstanding this they are
ii constant dread of an attack from Gen.
Buckner, and in fear that LouisvJie will be
tiken by the Rebels.
On Monday Night and Tuesday morning
last, three regiments from Pennsylvania,
with eight pieces of artillery, one regiment
from Indiana, and one from Minnesota, ar
rived there, and immediately wore sent for
ward to McCook’s command near and this
side of Elizabethtown. ‘J wo regiments from
Michigan were hourly looked for.
The Pennsylvania Regiment, under com
maud of Gen. Nogley, which arrived on a
fleet of seven or eight steamboats, passed
through the streets Tuesday, making, we are
told, a really splendid display.
A number of ambulances were in use, pas
sing through the streets Tuesday, and it was
reported that they contained the dead and
wounded from some skirmish on the road.
On Sunday last, all the muskets and small
arms in the city except those in active use,
belonging to the Home Guards and State
Guards, was sent over to Jeffersonville for
safety. The Yankees were afraid that Buck
ner might pounce upon them suddenly aud
capture them.
James Anderson, J. A. Lcskey, and J.
Cochran, who were arrested at Henderson
and sent to Louisville to jail, were released
on bail Tuesday morning.
Young Courtney Prentice, sou of the edi
tor of the Journal, who, a few days since,
was with our troops at Green River, was ar
rested at his father’s place, near the’niouth
of Salt River, whither he had gone. He
was taken to Louisville and placed in jail,
but it is not probable he will be allowed to
remain there long.
D
Business of every kind was dead dull in
Louisville. Nobody was making any mon
ey except a few of the favored ones who
were in the good graces of the Speeds and
had army contracts of some kind. There
was already much suffering among the poor,
and the calls on private charity were numer
ous and heavy. If the winter should prove
severe, unexampled suffering will be the con
sequence, unless Gen. Buckner should deter
mine to visit that city and open the trade

unfortunate surprise near edeysville.
On Saturday morning last, a Lincoln gun
boat from the Ohio, supposed to be the Con
estoga, with 300 Abolition troops, came up
the Cumberland and lauded at West Eddy
vi 1 10. The troops were disembarked and
proceeded to Saritoga, a few miles from Ed
dyville, where a fine cavalry company of
Kentuckians, just formed by Captain Wil
cox, were encamped, completely surprising
and putting them to route, and killing aud
wounding, it is supposed, some 25 or 30 of
their number. The others fled and several
of them had arrived at Hopkinsville, where
our informant saw them. Some of them
had their clothes actually riddled with balls,
while their persons miraculously escaped
injury. The pursuit was continued by the
Yankees about two miles.
Capt. Wilcox was hit with a ball on the
forehead, aud although believed to be seri
ously if not fatally wounded, managed to
ride two miles on his horse, and it is thought
escaped the enemy.
They were surprised while the pickets
hid come in so breakfast aid before others
had gone out to take their places.

VANDALISM.
•
We have seen a gentleman from the neigh
borhood of Col. Oscar Turner, of Biliard
county, who informs us that a few days since
a troop of two hundred Federal cavalry visi
ted the residence of Col. 0. Turner, aud des
poiled him of of all his stock ot horses and
mules. The Colonel was not at home, or he
would doubtless now he tasting the sweets
of imprisoumeut.
“ First-rate — Fine.” —We learn that
while the Bth Georgia Regiment were on
picket duty at Munaon’a or Mason’s Hill, a
member of the Oglethorpe Light Infantry
was put on duty about two hours before day.
When daylight came he saw the warlike line
of Federal pickets off two or three hundred
yards—-the following dialogue eusued:

Thompson.
\Ve have seen a private letter from Gen.
Thompson, to a gentleman in this city, dated
the 23d, in which he states that every day
of the previous two weeks had its adven
tures and history. Alluding to the affair of
the 21st he says: “We had a very pretty
little tight on Monday, which will be magni
fied iuto a battle. I allowed it to gratify
the men and try their pluck in open field,
and am more than pleased with their perfor
mance.”
After the fight the infantry encamped at
Indian Ford and Bloomfield. The cavalry
were moved to anew field of labor, under
Gen. Thomps m’s personal command. Os
course any statement made as to their desti
nation would be injudicious.
Gen. T. considers his little campaign one
of complete success, although in consequence
of unavoidable accidents, all was not accom
plished that was originally contemplated.—
The Big River bridge was burned —thus
cutting tiff communication by rail between
two important positions held by the enemy,
Cape Girardeau and Pilot Knob. The cav
alry performed a march of two hundred and
seventy-five miles within the ten days, and
the infantry over one hundred and eighty—
distances unprecedented in the history of
; he movements of armies. This energy
shows what can be accomplished by men
fighting for privileges they arc determined
to secure.
The enemy had become alarmed at the
rapid moveincuts of Gen. T.'s command,
and brought out 7,000 men to overwhelm
him. Referring to the fight, ho says: “We
met them with twelve hundred men, and
after fighting them two hours, retired ill
good order. W’e ambushed them at every
turn of the road, cornfield aud thicket, and
are here (at Greenville, M 0.,) with more
men than we started with, and the whole
force in one thousand per cent, better spir
its than when the campaign commenced.” —
Memphis Appeal , 29 th.
From Col 11111 bus, Ky.
From the correspondence of the Memphis
Appeal we take the following:
Columbus, Oct. 2(>.—The current of
news has been almost stagnant here recently,
though the waters were again “troubled”
yesterday afternoou by the arrival at head
quarters of a courier from Ben. McCulloch
aud one from General Jeff. Thompson.
Mr. Conner, the courier from McCulloch,
brings information that the command is now
in Benton county, ou the Osage river, some
four hundred aud thirty miles from here,
and in communication with - Gen. Price, those
two generals have not seen fit to form a con
junction. McCulloch’s troop3 were in good
order, and eager for an opportunity to meet
the enemy. Gen. Price had fallen back
from Lexington to a position higher out on
the Osage, and was only restrained from
giving Fremont battle by his want of amu
uition, being entirely out of caps.
As soon as measures can be taken for the
replenishing of his military stores, and a
conjunction effected between the forces of
Price and McCulloch, Fremont will he
ground between these twocommands like
fox-fire in a bark mill. Tilings are drawing
to a crisis with Fremont iu Missouri, aud one
more signal defeat will be enough not ouly
to disgrace him, but to shake the Federal
power in the State to the very centre. —
Fremont is well assured of this, and will
spare no efforts to regain the lost confidence
of the Washington despotism; but in Price
ind McCulloch he has to combat the pres
tige of success and mature experience, iu
both of which he is himself wanting. Un
less forced into un engagement before they
ire ready for it, we may be assured that
Fremont will be crushed in the next battle
between his hirelings aud the forces under
Price and McCulloch.
From Zolliroffor’s Brigade*
We are permitted to make the following
extract from a private letter, received iu this
cily, from a member of Gen. Zollicoffer’s
Brigade, dated Cumberland Ford, 14th inst.:
“ Last Friday the brigade advanced into
Kentucky to attack the forces at Rock Cas
tle Hills, sixty miles further into the ene
my’s country. Yesterday we learned, by
-pedal messenger, that Zollicoffer, when
within six miles of the main body of the
enemy, while attempting to remove obstruc
tions from the road, was attacked, aud after
some loss in killed and wounded, withdrew,
and is on his retreat to Cumberland Ford,
where he is expected to aifive to-uigLs.
At that point, there are several hundred sick,
with a small amount of with
good natural defences and some slight breast
works. If the enemy pursue, (and they are
m great force from Rock Castle Hills back
to Camp Dick Robertson,) then this place
will be the stand point, and here must be
the fighting. If the enemy make a flank
movement and get behind us, we will be in
a bud flx. I cannot give you any p. r ic
iars, for w” haven’t them here.” —Nashville

Excitement in Knoxville — There
was quite u demonstration on our streets yes
erday, growing out of a collision between
several soldiers of the 15th Alabama Regi
ment, and several town constables, assisted
by their Union frieuda. Two of the soldiers
were very badly hurt; one of them, as we
learn, bjing now in a dying condition. How
tie affray originated we have not been able
to learn, but rumors of it having reached
camps, Capt. White’s Cavalry company, of
Hamilton county, and parts of several com
panies of infantry, double-quicked it to town,
ind their endeavors to find the perpetrators
•f the injuries to the soldiers created consul
able excitement.
The names of the town officers, and their
friends, engaged in the affair are: Martin
Hrillwell, J. M. Petersfield, Wm. Peters
tield, Robert Brown, Samuel Waddill Russ.
Coker, W R. Knot, John J. Craws. rd.
The names of the injured soldiers we have
not been able to learn.
The pei sons above named, (whom it was
the purpose of Col. Wood, commanding here,
to have arrested, that there might be a full
and fair investigation into facts,) have
made their escape, but we are requested to
say that a liberal reward will he paid by the
military authorities, for their apprehension.

VOLUME XXXIX—NO 33.
Our Generals.
We regret to *<3e a disposition in some
quarters to decry tbe al ilities, and criticise
the movements of our Generals, by those
j 0 are not iu possession of the data upon
vrhu h to form a judgement, and who do not
even profess to know any thing of the intri
cate science of war. The great subject of
complaint is, that our aruiy has not advanood
into Maryland, and is still at its old battle
ground of Bull Hun. Why don't the fault
tiuders take the bull by the horns and arraign
the Executive, in obedience to whose order*
our Generals act ? No General of our army
has the power to order a forward movement
into Maryland, or upon Washington. The
Commander-in-Chief, which is vested iu the
President by tbe Constitution, is exercised
by him in fact, and in conformity with bis
orders our military movements are strictly
regulated. So that, whether it was good
policy to enter Maryland or not, it is the
resident, and not the Generals, upoji whom
the responsibility ot action or non-action
rests.
W e don't know that any service in tbe
world has more accomplished military uien
than are at the head ot the Southern armies.
Gen. A. Johnston, of Kentucky, Gen. John
ston, Commauder-in-Chief of the Armv of
the Potomac, Gen. Beauregard, Gen. Smith,
Lien. Lee, Gen. Magruder— we know not
where to stop—form a host of military
worthies that would adorn any service in any
age. We conceive that they have every
motive to accomplish everything within their
power which can operate upon the most un
sparing of their critics, and probably under
stand their business as well. And this is
equally true of the President. Undoubtedly,
if any one individual in this Government
has more interest than any’ other in the suc
cess of our arms, it is the Chief Magistrate.
W e do not hold with the Lincolnites that
the King can do no wrong, but we cannot
resist the conclusion that our Executive, in
the trying position he occupies, must be at
least as well disposed to do tbe lest lie can
as any of his critics, and that it is fair to
presume he avails himself of all the lights of
his position, and all the wisdom and intciii
cence that can be brought to his counsels.
Ri chraoud DispatcK .
Col. Iluker.
The Richmond Dispatch has the follow
ing reflections on the death of this officer,
killed in the late Leesburg fight:
It is wrong to exult over the death of any
man. It is appointed to all men to die, aud
we must all make up our minds to meet the
inevitable hour. But we cannot resist the
impression that there was something very
much like the retribution which awaits all
men, either on this side of the grave or the
other, in the death of Col. Baker. Ho
was an Englishman, by birth, but had been
in the United States many years. He had
fought bravely in Mexico, as his country
men, with very few exceptions, have always
done, wherever they have served. In the
last Congress he made the most violent
speech that was made, even in that assem
bly of blood-houthis. He was in favor of
making Lincoln a Dictator, as if he were not
already one. He wished him to have the
name as well as the substance of power. He
was not content with his being merely Caesar
he wished him to bo king. He desired
to place a thousand million at his disposal.
He would give him a million of men to en
slave the revolted States. He would subju
gate them completely, though it could only
be done by exterminating the whole popula
tion. He would have set Yankee taskmas
ters over them. He would hold them as
colonies, subject to the laws of the power
which had subdued them. Even banded
justice has returned the chalice to his own
lips, in a space of time so short, that tbe fin
ger of a higher power than any of this earth,
is dearly seen in it. He sleeps bis last
bloody sleep ou the soil he would have pol
luted—

The JPtomac Entirely Closed !
The first Confederate Steamer
•n it* Waters ! !
Our information from the Potomac of all
that has transpired since our last issue, can
be comprised in a very brief space. On
Wednesday morning our men found the river
entirely free of vessels, sail and steam, war
or merchantmen, as far as could be ee< n
from above and below. This interesting
condition ot a flairs still continues. Indeed,
not a gun has been fired ou the Potomac lor
last three days. The fleet is evidently off
on some expedition for mischief, making
preparation for an attack, or, as some sup
pose, it is a trap to induce our men to seek
after captures, with a purpose of firing upon
them from their flying artillery, which it i*
now ascertained is scattered about at various
points on tbe Maryland shore.
The state of things mentioned cannot last
long, and in whatever way the Yankees turn
up, they will find out that we have not been
“napping.” Ou Wednesday, about 10
o’clock, the George Page, now kuowu as the
Richmond, Capt. C. C. binims, succeeded in
passing unmolested from At quia Creek up
the Potomac to a safe position, and in the
evening a row boat with six men aboard pass
ed up.
The firing which was heard so distinctly
here on Monday evening, proceeded from
Yankee ships firing at random along the
shore about Mathias’ Roint.

lately killed in a duel in Arkansas, had for
more than twenty-five years been a member
of Christ Church, Episcopalian, in Vicks

reads as follows : “That deploring the death
of Mr. Lake, and regarding it as a personal
calamity that has befallen each one of us,
we deem the occasion an appropriate one to
express our solemn condemnation of that
code of honor to whose false teaching our
lamented friend fell a sacrifice.”
