General Fremontand numerous staff left
st. Louis on Thursday by the Pacific Rail-
road, and reached Jefferson City that night.
The soldiers had previously been forwarded
byIsteamers to the same.place, where they
await orders.
FRENoNT's FIRE IN THE REAR.
Before leaving st. Louis General Fremont
dispatched letter to friend, which is pub
lished, charging that the evidently concerted
attacks against him are utterly without foun-
dation, and denounces them as fslsehoods.
He claims that his position is difficult but
that he is competent to it, and to the enemy in
the field. He protests, a Ia Scott, against
fire in the rear.
THE ROUTE TO THE BERMY.
The typographical descriptions we to-day
give of the localities already historical in
this civil war, will aid the reader to under
stand the routes the army, to advance under
General Fremont, must take to meet the
revolutonists.
Glasgow is below Lexington, on the Mis-
souri, River, and the highest point held by
Federal troops.
The enemy is reported to be near Sedalis,
the northern terminus of the Pacific Railroad,
sixty four miles beyond the present head
quarters OF O6ueTdl FREMONT.
If the Federal forces are not kept in one
grand army, portion of the troops can be
sent by steamers up the Missouri, portion
by cars toward Sedalia, and portion toward
Rolla on the South west Branch Railroad.
REBELS DECEIVED BY RUMoRs.
False rumors are current with Prices men,
that Beauregard had taken Washington and
that the rebel Congress were in session in
old Congress Hall, Philadelphia. His soldiers
were elated by their success at Lexington
and desire to be led direct to st. Louis.
Reports are rife in Western Missouri that
the Southern Confederaey has been recog.
nized by England and France, and that be-
fore the last of October the blockade will be
broken by the navies of both nations. The
rebels prOphesy that before ten years have
elapsed the Confederacy will be the greatest,
most powerful and prosperous nation on the
! globe. and that the United States will decay
and be forced to seek the protection OF En-.
gland to prevent their being crushed by the
! South.

valuables and eatables from every house
reached. They fed on friends and foes. The
mock Legislature has passed pro .torma an
act of confscation of the property of all who
do not take up arms for Jackson, to give
apparent legal approval of the devastation
and pillage pursued by the invading army.
