Especial Dispatch to the 81. Louis Democrat
JEFFERSON Cry, October 3-Dr. White, Of
Muligan's Brigade, arrived here in the Seda
liza train at an early hour this morning, and
brings information from Lexington up TO
Monday night.
Price left Lexington with the main body
of his force, and is moving southwark, for
the purpose of effecting junction with Nc
Culloch, after which he will give Fremont
battle. DR.. White represents that Price is
decided upon this point, having been elated
and intoxicated by his victory at Lexington.
He says that Price anticipates an easy victory
over Fremont at this point, and will then
move on st. Louis. There were no less than
twenty-four thousand Secessionists ready to
rise and welcome him, with arms in their
hands.
DR.. White thinks that the rebels will en-
deavor to get between us and the force at
Georgetown, and surround and cut off Davis
and Sigel, and then meet Fremont near this
place.
The rebel force has nineteen field-pieces,
and are expecting riaed cannon from the
South.
General Price told the Doctor that the
Southern Oonfederacy had loaned the State
of Missouri 81, ,000 900 for the purpose Of car
rying on the war against the Federal Gov
ernment
The rebel troops are confident of victory,
and are clamoring to be led against Fremont.
DR.. White gives q sorry statement in re-
gard to the conduct of the rebels toward the
wounded at Lexington. They took away
from him all his hospital stores, not leaving
him even a sponge.
A portion of Prices force had moved to-
ward Independence. There were but about
three hundred men in Warrensburg when
the Doctor passed through there. He thinks
Prices force numbers fully forty thousand.
A special dispatch to the st. Louis Repub-
hcdn says: DR.. White says he heard, on his
way here, that eighteen thousand rebels had
parted from the main body and marched to-
ward Georgetown, with the intention of TAX
ing that place before re-enforcements could
arrive from Jefferson City.
A miller, who left Georgetown yesterday
morning, says he was turned back by the
enemy's pickets twelve miles from that town.
The Doctor believes that the rebels have no
| idea of quitting the State, but intend to make
a demonstration in vast numbers upon
Georgetown, Jefferson and st. Louis, and
that they are perfectly confident of their
ability to take them. No immediate attack
| is feared on Georgetown, and our forces there
are preparing to receive the foe.
An officer here, formerly of Mulligan's
| Irish Brigade, who left the vicinity of Lex.
ingtou, Monday evening, places no confidence
| in the truth of the above.
The officer says at the time he left moi
more than ten thousand rebels had quilted
Lexington, and that nothing reliable wa:
known of the intentions or course, or Of what
policy P-ice had concluded to pursue.
| Bonneville and Glasgow were quiet at the
latest sdvices, but our forces are on the aler
for fight. Many persons think there will
be no general engagement since the reputeC
evacuation of Lexington, but others believ
he will very soon strike blow on SOM
quarter where he is least expected and tn
prospect of battle is now increased rathe
| than diminished
