MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1

the state of Mis.ouri fell into Price's hands. It is
reported that 10,000 rebels were marching north-
ward, through Greene County, Mu., and 4,000
through Bates County, on Osceola. A force of
10,000 was threatening St. Joseph, being only four-
teen miles distant ; only 700 Federal troops were
there to defend the city. The Louisville Journal,
of the 30th ult., states that General Zolliconer has
taken Manchester, Clay county, Ky., with great de-
struction of property. It was rumoured that an en-
gagement had occurred between 600 rebels and 500
of the Indiana regiment. The result was unknown.
Humphrey Marshall's rebels stand of infantry
arms, a large number of sabres, 750 horses,
had disbanded and dispensed. General Price, of
the Confederate army, had issued his bulletin re-
specting the capture of Lexington. He states that
he captured 3,500 prisoners, including four colonels
and a major, five pieces of artillery and two mor-
tars, 3,300 met, of cavalry equipments, waggons,
teams, and ammunition, more than 100,000
worth of commissary stores, and a large amount of
other property. In addition he had got possession
of the great seal of the state and the public records,
and about 900,000 doh. in money, which latter,
however, he says, belonged to the banks in Lexing-
ton, and has been returned to them. This splendid
military achievement, General Price says, cost him
only twenty-five men killed and seventy-two
wounded, General Lane, we learn by a despatch
from Leavenworth, after his alleged suocossful
engagement with the Confederates at Papinsville,
made a forced march on Osceola, and succeeded in
capturing a large supply train left there by Generals
Rains and Price, together with one hundred
thousand dellairs in money.
Important points in Kentucky were being rapidly
taken possession of by Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois
troops, with the full consent of the legislature, the
higher branch of which, on the 28th, passed a vote
of thanks to them for their promptness in respond-
ing to the call for aid iu repelling the rebel inva-
sion. Five hundred Indiana troops had gone up
Greene River and taken possession of Locks
Nos. 1 and 3 ; a regiment of cavalry from
Ohio had gone lute camp near Covington,
and Cyuthiana had been occupied by Ohio
troops. A report was current in Louisville
that a party of Buckner's inen had attacked a
place known as Mud River, fifty miles from Bouling
Green, which was occupied by a state force, under
Colonel Hawkins, and that the Confederates were
worsted. The Kentucky Senate, on the 30th,
passed a resolution calling upon Breckenridge and
Powell to resign their seats in the legislature. The
house had met. A despatch from Kentucky states
that General Pillow was reported to be making a
junction with Tennessee troops to march on
Paducah with an army of 40,000 strong.
It was stated by way of Cincinnati that General
Thomas, at " Camp Dick Robinson," telegraphed
to General Anderson, at Louisville, that the rebels

were at Louden, about fifty miles southward of
him, approaching in force. Anderson telegraphed
for reinforcements.
Advises from Havana state that the cultivation
of cotton had begun to occupy considerably the
attention of landowners throughout the island.
Old worn out coffee fields which had been used as
mere cattle enclosures are eagerly sought after by
speculators for the purpose of converting them into
cotton plantations, and the prices of those so-
called waste lands bad suddenly risen to a very
high figure.
