Moro About tho Lexington Fight,

Notwithstanding the gallant unwillingness
OF Ool. Muligan to surrender, affairs had
reached condition on Friday that rendered
such an operation an imperative necessity.-
With the exception of little water obtained
wh,le the wounded were being removed the
night before, the command had had nothing
to drink for forty eight hours In addition
to this, they had no round shot except few
rough hewn specimens manufactured at a
neishboring foundry by Capt McNuta Of the
cavalry. They had few shells, but they
We're unified, and when filled no one could
manufacture fuses. Even with shell ready
for firing, they had only two miserable little
affairs which they called mortars, but which
wer. more properly machines for testing the
strength Of powder The muskets of tn,
command were generally the old smooth bore,
with balls of the wrong calibre-the cavalry
were put in the trenches to fight, and had
nothing to DO it with except horse PISTOLS
The Home Guards as general thing, sneaked
into the trenches and refused to fight at all
the cannon were useless for want of ammuni-
ton 80 dead horses strewcd the field in every
direction produced most intolerablc odor-
these and perhaps other similar circumstan-
Gee characterized the condition Of affairs at
about the time of the capituation, and were
sufficient not only to drive Il man to surren-
der, but into suicide or insanity.-(o,. St.
Louis Republican.
