IL is believed tho rebels havo from &C, 900
to so 900 men at Lexington, and are daily
receiving reinforcements. They will mako

troops. IL 10 supposed that Price will. in
two or throe weeks, have from 10000 10

WAsnrNGroN, Sept. 29.-During the
last week 1t was so frequently reported
from day TO day that our troops had taken
possession OF Munson's Hill, that when
last night this long predictnd event took
place, ii found few believers among those
least excited by sensation rumors. A
personal visit, however, places the fact be.
yond doubt. The American flag now
floats there in place OF that of the rebels.
