Da~ We do not publish the Geographic
items from the st. Louis papers, in regard
to the movement of Price and McCulloch IN
Southwest Missouri, because we have direct
information from McCullochs camp OF a
later date, which denies the whole of them.
The items which we published last week, OF
the reported fights in Missouri have not
bcen confirmed; on the contrary, there Is
reason to believe them entirely unfoundod.

rsg- A rumor prevailed in McCullool's
army when Col. Singleton left there, that
linn Lane had come into South Missouri,
since the departure Of Price, and had gone
10 Carthage, stole all the negroes, he could,
and had warned the citizens that he intend
nd 10 burn the town. From recent informa-
,ion, we believe this rumor unfounded. 1t
was known that Gen Rains division Of the
Missouri forces had been especially detailed
