THE REASONS FOR PRICES RETRO,

| LEXINGTON, No., Oof. l0.-(Corresnon.
denes Of the st. Louis Republican The
| plan of General Price, after ho captured Lex
| ington, was to remain for time and operate
on the north side of the river, and for this
purpose, on Saturday the 2Sth September, be
crossed the river at Lexington with four thou
sand mounted men, and this force took up
their line Of march for the railroad, with the
view Of its total destruction, and then sad
havoc was TO be made among all the Governs
aIent forces in Northwest Missouri.
But late ia the evening rebel named ALI
fred Jones, who had been released as prisoner
at the arsenal, whero he had taken the oath OF
allegiance to the United States Government,
returned from ST. Louis to Lexington and re-
ported that the whole country below was alive
With troops; that Fremont wss after Price. and
that Price might prepare for big fight 10 q
few days. This seemed to raise he courage
of Price's men, and they said let Fremont
come, they were ready tor him.
When Jones announced that General Free
mont had 10000 men, his only fear was that
Price would rot make stand, the latter
countertnaDded his order for seuding troops to
the railroad, aud a messenger was immedlate-
II despatched after those who had already
started across the river. On that night Price
made his preparations fora movement south-
ward, and General Rains, it is said, went
twenty miles that night on his southern route.
1t is also believed that Governor Johason
availed himself of this commauG as an escort
TO get himself ont Of danger.

"THE ARMY FRAUDS" I"

We have received from Harrisburg the Res
port of the Commission appointed bv Gov. Cur
tin in reference to the frauds alleged 10 have
heen committed against the State iu the furn-
ishing Of supplies for the army.
As might very we'll have been expected. Is
entirely exculpates the Governor and all Of the
members of the Administration from any
completely whatever il frauds against, or over
charges to the State. The ouly paragraph in
the Report which at all bears upon any per-
son connected with the Administration, is the
following. Referring to the purchase of infe-
rior blankets, for which, it is alleged, that too
high price vas paid, the Commissioners say
The blankets were, perhaps, worth the
price, bnt the price, one dollar and a.half
pair, was obviously too low to procure sultas
bic article, even had each soldier received
pair, which was not the case, each soldier re-
ceiVing only one blanket at cost to the Stata
Of only seventy five cents. No blame can be
attached to the manufacturer, and il is, there
fore, divided between Adiutan. General Biddle,
by whose order the purchases were made, and
the Qusrtermaster's Department., to which alone
such purchases belong.9
1t will thus be seen that so far as the blan,
kets are concerned, the great difficulty was
that an inferior article was furnished, aud
that the State paid no more for them tLaa they
were worth.
We have examined this Report carefully and
critically, aud after having done so, we arrive
at the conclusion that such complaints as NAV
be made must be attributed entirely to the
peculiar circumstances nnder which the Ad
ministratioB was called upon to act It is,
without doubt, true that in some cases the
Government of the State paid larger price
for articles which were required than, under
other circumstances, they conld have been OBJ
tanned for: but when the extraordinary circum-
stances of the case are considered, this fact il
not surprising.
The Report shows that the State has paid
out from seven to ten thousand dollars, which
might have been saved under other eseum-
stances; but If we consider the fact that those
who bad charge of the furnishing of these ma
terials were without experience, in reference to
their purchase, there can be no blame attached
to them. The Governor, SO soon as his atten-
tion was called to the fact that money was be-
ing made out of The State in an undue manner
directed his attention to the evils which was
said to exist, and the Report Of this Comrnis-
sion shows clearly aud conclus vely that be
was successful in his efforts.-Daltg .Aeps.
