LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
ANOTHER BATTLE!—FEDERALISTS
AGAIN DEFEATED! ! /
We {Home News) have just received news down to the 14th August from America. A second great battle has been fought, and the result has been again disastrous to the North. Our information is derived from the following two telegrams from New York:—
August 13. It is reported from St. Louis that General Lyon's command at Springfield had been totally routed by the Confederates and General Lyon killed. The Federals, it is stated, were in full retreat. Mr. Faulkner, the late American Minister at Paris, has been arrested on a charge of treason and lodged in Washington Gaol. The King's County Court has issued an order to arrest the commander ofFort Lafayette for refusing to obey the writ of habeas corpus to produce the Baltimore Police Commissioners. Prince Napoleon has returned to New York. He was received at Manassas by Generals Beauregard and Johnston. He will proceed to Niagara in a few days. The Secretary of the Treasury has not yet obtained the loan for which he has proposed to the New York banks. The Bank Committee will report on the secretary's proposal to-morrow. Some uncertainty prevails in commercial circles as to the result.
August 14. The news of a battle having been fought at Springfield, resulting in the defeat of the Federals and the death of General Ly on, has been confirmed. The Federal loss is officially reported at 800 killed and wounded. The Federalists retired in good order to Rolla. 8000 Federals and 23,000 Confederates are stated to have been engaged. The Confederate loss is said to be heavy, and it is rumored that Generals Price and M'Culloch were killed. Twenty-three Federal prisoners liave been released and have returned from Richmond, where 1200 prisoners remain. General Wool will take the command of Fort Monroe. It is reported for certain that the New York, Boston, and Philadelphia Banks will now take 50,000,000 of the Federal loan and the remaining 120,000,000 in instalments by December.
