The following is a re-, same of tho military operations In .Missouri, obtnincd from reliable sources, within the past two weeks i The Union army enpturcel 2, 000 rebels, Including about 70 commlssloneel odiecrs, 1,200 horces ami mules, 1,100 stand of arms, two tons of powder, wagons, an Im mense amount of commissary stores and camp equipage, and a large foundry at Lexington ustd by Ihe rebels for casting shot nnd sin II. More rebel craft In Missouri, Including four gunboats, have been destroyed, and a pretty clean sweep has been mndo of tho whole coun try between tho Missouri and Osngo rivers, and Gen. Price, cut off from all supplies aud recruits from Northern Missouri, Is in full re treat for Arkansas, with his whole army- having passed Springfield on Mouday last. Our loss In accomplishing these Important re nils has not excecdeel one hundred men killed and wounded. These arc the fruits of the brilliant and strategical combinations of Gen. Ilallcck, which have been ably executed by Generals Pope, Prentiss and Mclvenn, Col. Jeff C. Davis, Stein of the Klcventli Regular Infantry, and the bravo officers nnd soldiers of our nrmy regulars and volunteers. Price's cmmlsarlei have stirred up rebellion in North Missouri, or simultaneously, burned railroad bridges and stations, nnd destroyed sluiu, vic.'i Oil trie 20ili of this month, accord ing to platis promulgated from rebel camps. They were followed through the energy of Oen ITiillcck ami the nctitlly of our force, which were kept In constant motion, nothttith- standing tho severity of the wealhcr. Tho damago done to the North Missouri Itnllroad has been much exaggerated, ite- pairs are rapidly being made, and both the North Mlssiiuil Railroad nnd telegraph wins will be in working order to Willstillo to-night.
