ssault on Mulligan commenced], and consist of two full regiments of infantry, four pieces of artillery, and 150 regular horse. These, with two Ohio regiments, which will reach there on Thursday [19th], will make a re-enforcement of 4,000 men and four pieces of artillery. So confident was he that Price would be driven from Lexington by these combined forces, that he telegraphed to; General Davis on the 18th, directing him to send five thousand men to the South Fork of La Mine River, in Cooper County, where it is crossed by the Pacific Railway, there to intercept the expected retreat of the Confederates to the Osage River. In these reasonable calculations Fremont was disappointed. Whilst expecting tidings of success, he received from Pope Sept. 22. the sad news of Mulligan's surrender. The active and vigilant Price, with a force of more than twenty-five thousand men, had been enabled to beat back re-enforcements for the garrison and to keep the way open for recruits for his own

in great part of recruits from the counties north of the Missouri River, with a considerable mixture of the old soldiers of Gen. Price. Their appearance is decidedly better than that of the rebels I have seen heretofore. More uniformity in dress and more respectability in person. The last draft of Gen. Price is likely to be less numerous than his first, but far more influential in morale. Col. Robinson, the senior officer, is a man of middle age, intelligent countenance, resided in Cooper County, and has been with Price from the beginning. Col. Alexander is younger, and looks more like chivalry; he also has been through the struggles of Dry Spring, Wilson's Creek, and Lexington, and tells some interesting stories of the hardships and hair-breadth escapes he has undergone. They are well dressed, that is to say, the material of their clothing is not fine, but the ornamentation is showy and evinces some attention to this important military qualification.

and Poplar, and M. N. Coolidge, of Company H, First regiment. Nine of our men were wounded, but few of them severely. One man is also missing, who was known to have been badly shot. Thos. McCord, of Lothrop's regulars, was one of the most seriously hurt. The loss of the enemy will, probably, never be fully ascertained. It did not fall short of fifty, and probably will run nearly as high as a hundred. Among their dead are Dr. William Quarles, Isaac Hodges, and thirteen others of the Cooper County Company; Francis A. Hulin, of the Pettis County Rifles, and many others more or less prominent, some of whom have not yet been recognized. The enemy had two regiments of 1,800 men, under command of Col. J. S. Marmaduke of Arrow Rock, and nine hundred cavalry, besides other companies whose muster-rolls have not been captured. Horace H. Brand was Lieutenant-Colonel of Marmaduke's regiment. It was reported, and for some time generally believed, that he was among the dead, but he has si

en in their respective districts and get them ready for service in the field. Recruiting went on rapidly in the populous counties bordering on the Missouri river, and volunteers, organized and unorganized, poured into the capital in a steady stream. On the day General Price was appointed commander more than a thousand were gathered at Jefferson City, waiting to be mustered into the State Guard and take the field against the enemy. Capt. Robert Mc-Culloch brought several companies from Cooper county, and Capt. D. H. McIntire several from Callaway county. The Independence Grays came from Jackson county, and brought with them the four brass 6-pounders taken from the arsenal at Liberty. Capt. Jo Kelly's company of Irishmen, sent up from St. Louis in charge of the arms bought by Quartermaster-General James Harding, was still there. The first regiment organized was composed of eight companies from the counties close around Jefferson City. It was designated the First regiment of Rif

rce of the three companies soon came to their aid, but the Confederates had then fled, leaving traces of blood behind. The same correspondent says that H. T. Martin, an editor of Weston, Va., has been arrested and sent to Columbus, Ohio. Peace Conference in Missouri. The St. Louis Republican, of Friday, says: A military conference was held day before yesterday, at Sedalia, in Pettis county, composed of Colonel Brown, from Jefferson city, Captains Harris and Parker, of Cooper county, and a number of other officers, some connected with the State, and some with the Federal forces. The object of the conference was to determine upon some plan to tranquilize that portion of the State. Our informant says the terms finally agreed upon were of the following import: The state forces to disband and return home, and the Home Guards to disband as such, and if they choose to preserve a military organization, to enlist in the United States Army, detachments from which are to be

vers, and so on. Explanation of Missouri affairs. Another fact is referred to show the workings of the Order. At a meeting of one of the lodges, held at the corner of Webster and Fifth streets, on the 25th of May, a Major Harris, of Cooper county, formerly a rebel officer, but now an inmate of Gratiot street prison, made a speech, in which he stated that he had been traveling through Illinois and over the district of North Missouri; and gave a glaring account of the prosperous condition of the Order wherever he had been. He regarded its condition in St. Louis as rather lethargic, but spoke in high terms of praise of its energy and activity in the counties of Callaway, Boone, Howard, Chartton and Cooper. The greatest difficulty experienced by the officers in those counties, he said, was to restrain the members of the Order from rising before the proper opportunity should arrive. He had found the same difficulty to exist in the State of Illinois, and appealed to those prese

The bridge and water tank at Scott's, eight miles west of Jefferson City, have been burned by the rebels; also, the railroad depot at Lookout, a few miles beyond. St. Louis, Missouri, October 11. --Intelligence has been received at head-quarters that Price's army went from California to Booneville, Cooper county, yesterday, and Shelby sent two thousand cavalry across the Missouri river at that point. General Fisk has gone to Lexington to take command there. General Sanborn is still pursuing the enemy. Reports were extensively circulated to-day that Magruder, with five thousand rebel infantry, had entered Southeast Missouri and occupied Frederickstown, but they prove to be unfounded. Business is suspended at St. Joseph, the citizens having been called to arms by General Fisk, in antic
