Carthage, Mo. — [July 5, 1861] — After Governor Jack- son and his followers had been driven from Boonville by General Lyon, they pushed westward into Jasper County, being joined on the way by General Sterling Price, aug- •menting the confederate forces to 3, 600. July 5, 1861, they were confronted near Carthage by General Franz Sigel, with a force of 1, 500 men, who had been sent to the southwestern part of the state to prevent reinforcements from Arkansas and Texas, Sigel, though strong in ar-... tillery, was inferior in numbers, and after inflicting con- siderable loss on the enemy, retreated in good order through Carthage to Sarcoxie, fifteen miles to the east- ward. Sigel's loss was 13 killed and 31 wounded. The confederates reported their loss at 40 to 50 killed and 125 to 150 wounded. Rich Mountain, W. Va. — [July 11, 1861] — As soon as the ordinance of secession had been ratified by the state of Virginia, Major-General George B. McClellan, who had been assigned to the command of the federal forces in the Department of the Ohio, issued an address to the loyal citizens of western Virginia, which resulted in many enlistments from that state, and determined him to occupy at least a part of it with federal troops.
