Upton, Mo-, Oct 2s.-From special dis
patch to the ST. Louis Democrat, we learn
that Gen. Kennedy has returned to Sedalia
from Prices army. He says that Prices
men are much dissatisfied at the prospect of
leaving and that they will force him to
make stand within our borders On the
other hand, it is asserted that Gen. Johnston
left Kentucky to take command of Prices
and McCullough's forces, and that before
leaving that State he sent commissioners to
Price and McCulloch, directing them to fall
back into Arkansas and not give Fremont
battle until he could reach them Gen. Ken
nedy says that Fremont will have a much
larger force to contend against than he i'm

Considerable numbers of Prices rebels arc
arriving in this section daily, and it is feared
that they will renew plundering as soon as
our troops leave. ....
49,. GEN. SCOTT.
Washington, Oct. 2S.-Wc regret to hear
from Washington that the health of Gen.
Scott is becoming less and less adequate to
the severe and unremitting labors imposed
by his position. His fatigues have had such
an effect upon his system that he now finds
it difficult to attend to business for more than
TWO hours at a time, without refreshing him
self by sleep. He is unable to walk or ride
to any considerable distance, and for por-
ton Of the last few days has been confined
quite closely to his house
1t is evident that the term of the old
soldiers active service is drawing rapidly to
close.
Gen. Scott vii retire from active military
duty in consequence of physical infirm;ty,
within ten days, under the law of the last
Congress, which allows him to do so and
which also continues his full pay, allowances
and subsistence.

FROM GARIBALDI.
Advices from all parts of Europe are thor.
oughly encouraging. A letter has been
received from Garibaldi, saying that we shall
put down the rebellion, and therefore he need
not come over to help us, but if we do not
do so easily, he will come.
THE SAILING OF THE GREAT EXPEDITION.
Fl. Monroe, Oct. 3o.-The great feet sailed
this morning, the Wabash taking the lead

Illinois the Golden Eagle The morning was
the most beautiful of the season. and the
scene the finest ever witnessed on this con-
tinent. A heavy storm prevented the fleet
