NEW YoRK, Oct. o3
The T'ribune's Washington dispatch says
the Cabinet to-day, at a special meeting, con-
sidered the report Of Adjutant Gen. Thomas
concerning the state Of affairs in the Western
department. 1t was decided that Gen. Fre-
mont should be superseded in command by
General Hunter. The order will be promul-
gated to-day.
The Times dispatch says, on the contrary,
that the Cabinet decided not to interfere with
Gen Fremont for the present.
Judge Davis Of Illinois will be commits
stoned to take testimony in reference to con
tracts made in the Western Department and
all bills that he passes will be passed
The weather is dull and rainy wind south
west
A special Washington dispatch to the Her
aid says the latest news last night was that
the whole of Gen. Stones division had cross
ed the Potomac in full pursuit Of the enemy,
and that Banks column had reached the banks
of the river and would speedily support Gen.
Stone.
Information received late last night an
nounces that the fight On Monday was a
desperate one, and large numbers were killed
on both sides. Although the enemy was
much stronger, he was falling back before the
advance of our troops, and would uudoubt-
eddy have been routed but for the fall of Col
Baker, which produced sudden confusion
among the troops, and led to halt. Gen.
q. W. Smith commanded the rebels and a
private dispatch asserts that he was shot from
his horse and carried off the field.
Gen. Mcclellan left headquarters in the
field yesterday morning.
! 1t is subject Of regret that Col. Baker
should have engaged the enemy when &C
cording to report he was ordered to make a
reconnaissance only. with strict instructions if
attacked to fall back and not fight. Gen.
Baker made his will on Saturday last, and
! deposited with Col. Webb, and when he left
J for the field he said to the latter, II shall
( participate in battle within AZ hours. If
fall, request you to take charge Of my body"
A dispatch states that his body pierced
with six Mimic balls, showing that the rebels
had their sharp shooters to pick off our men

rebels at Fairfax Court House are the pckets

God fights; His way Of covering mems

reverse the order Of things is worthy Of
the deep study Of the whole nation at this

Good tor Gen. Lane.
Most respectfully yours,
r. LANGLY.

The Leavenworth Conservative con-
firms the successful attack of Gen. Lane
upon the rebels at Osceola. 1t says:
"Irom o. A. Bassett, Esq, who arrived
yesterday from Fort Scott, we learn that
Gen. Lane mas been completely successful
in his forced march npon Osceols.
"After his victory in Papinsville, already
recorded, he proceeded Immediately to Os-
ceola, in St. Clair county, Mo-, distance
Of tweuty miles.
"The rebel force there was dislodged, the
town burned to the ground, and the i'm
mense supply train Of Rains and Price cap
tured.
"Tiiis train was between two and three
miles in length, contained oil the supplies
and equippage Of Rains and Price and
100000 in money. This is the most
important success gained for the Union
cause il Missouri, and goes far to redeem
our losses at Lexington. Lane is now on
his way back, and may soon be expected
in this vicinity

Nothing but the imperative demands Of
public interest will induce the Government
to supercede Fremont.
The Attorney General is unreseryed IN

It's given out that Spain is taking these

Rz Authentic news from Lexington
confirms the report, that Price had evacua
ted Lexington. Capt. Meet, direct from
there, reports that Pnee's force, which he
estimates at 10000 strong, was encamped
about eighteen miles from Lexington,
where hewas fortifying. Hunters diyis-
ion left Jefferson City in pursuit of him on
tho 4th. Unless Price continues bis re-
treat there viii doubtless be battle of con-
siderable magnitude before many days.
Capt. Meet states, that OH Saturday
night, at IL o'clock, a fight took place ii
Ray county, opposite and about six miles
from Lexington, between 5000 rebels I'M
der Harris, and 1000 Federal troops On
der Stnrgls and Lam, in which Harris was
forced to retreat, with the loss Of his bag

RISE ON WHARF.-THE latest reports
from the grain growing parts Of Europe
show that crops have failed beyond calcu-
luton. A heavy draw on this country for
the deficiency is anticipated, which news
has already causel a rise in our markets.
But as the railroads have just raised their
transportation tariff enough to cover the
rise, the benefits Of an eastern rise are not
fit in these parts. Wheat was selling at

FATAL AccIDENT-W learn that sad
accident occurred in Brookfield on the 2Ist
ut. A boy about ten years Of age, son of
Geyrge Gebhardt, had his leg torn to pie

ished up, and the boy had taken enc of
teams by the bits to check the speed, when
in some way his foot slipped, and his leg
was caught by the tumbling-rod, complete
y crushing it to pieces, and almost tearing
it from his body. The poor fellow lived
until Monday morning four o'clock, having
suffered dreadfully.- Waukesha Demo

There Is stringent law in the statute
book, designed to compel owners ofthresh-
ing machines TO SO guard the tumbling

cur. Among other penalties the law pre-
seribes that no charge tor the services of a
thlesiing machine in which the tumblisg
rods arc not so guarded, can be collected

The Resolutions s.

Speaking Of the action Of the Wisconsin
State Convention, the Chicago Tribune
says:
"The Republican Convention, by the
way, skipped round the subject of FIRE.
mont's Proclamation in mauncr not very
lucid to say the least: and we imagine that
neither the President nor the General will
ever know which one Of them eff either) is
intended to be censured. The resolution,
says in effect that when it becomes neces-
sary to strike down slavery the Govern
ment ought to strike it down without COM
junction. Surely there needs no ghost
come from the grave, nor a convention
come from anywhere, to tell us this"
The above IS just our view Of the case
Mr.. Mill<ysof Grant, reported pointed, clear
and VIGOROUS resolutions, but we have too
many cowardly republicans, who dare not
speak out-non-c ommital in fact. Many
Democrats, to our knowledge, are far in
advance of them on this subject, and speak
their sentiments plainly. They say openly
''free the slaves of rebels" We wish all
republicans had manhood enough to say
The same.-Rock Co. Repo5}scan.
