Gordon, right heel-amputation below knee; James Taylor, through the shoulder severely. Total-2 killed, 30 wounded, 1 wounded and missing, and 3 missing. Captain Lundy, Lieuts Schnitger, C. C. Horton, Co. A, and Chas. Moore, Co. K, had their horses shot from under them. Ninety seven horses were killed and disabled, and nearly as many more wounded. A shell divided Lt. Col. Hatch's heavy brass stirrup; another passed so close to Capt. Kendrick's head, as to deafen one side, and numerous sabers, scabbards and revolvers show the scars of cannon shot, shell and bullets. The surgeons had all the wounds dressed before night and the sufferers with the exception of one or two, are quiet and doing well. No Churches or Schools Our excellent correspondent "Diff" has on several occasions referred to the absence of school houses in the slave States which he has visited, and the consequent illiterate condition of the people. A correspondent thus alludes to the same subject: "On coming to Rolla, I was struck with the fact that there was neither church nor school-house in that town. From there to Springfield, a distance of one hundred and twenty miles, in which there are farming neighborhoods settled over twenty years, I saw but one church-a half finished building, commenced by the southern Methodists, and afterwards abandoned-and not a single school-house.-At Springfield there were indications of moral religious and intellectual culture, (churches and academies, temporarily abandoned during the possession of the town by the rebels, some of them destroyed,) but from Springfield to Cassville, there was not a church or school-house to be seen. In Cassville, I think, there must have been some obscure place used for religious purposes, but it was not visible, nor distinguishable from the other houses. From Cassville to this town, no church or school-house has met my eye. In Galena, the county seat of Stone county, there is no such structure. In Fors! ythe there is the same destitution of any outward signs of religion or education. Is it any wonder that in such a region the rebellion should find adherents among an ignorant and prejudiced population?" The New Rebel Flag-Imagine a red handkerchief with a broad white bar stretching diagonally across it from one corner to the other, and a similar bar crossing the first from the opposite corners, with a blue shield at the point of intersection, on which a yellow spot represents the sun, and you have the flag. ~~~~~~*~~~~~~ Elaine Rathmann List Adm. for: *IA-CIVIL-WAR *IA-DANES Assist.
