But never morning opened more peacefully
or sweetiy--the sun shining with the fever
of july on the fields of giittering hoar -frost,
the blue jays shrinking In the woods, and
rnoet of the ie-stricken soldiers OF yester-
day looking exceedingly ashamed of them :
selves II the 40, 900 men said TO be under
Price In orr immediate neighborhood, we
have received definite information only OF
two foraging parties. one Of about 3o0 and
the other of 4l0 exactly, who had come down
on separate roads to within fifteen or eigh-
teen N les OF this place. We also learn that
there are nearly, ii not quite, 400 rebels about
As miles from here, and it Is said that Price
has Il, 0Oa somewhere down near the White
River, over which he draws his supplies from
Arkansas, the country south of this being an
absolute wilderness of filthy hills, producing
few eatables save hiekory-nuts and black
wainnts.

Meantime at an early hour this morning.
General Fremont took his leave. his Indian
"body guard" riding first, followed by his
white "body guard and the rear being
brought up by another Indian 'body guard,"
with a train of uncounted wagons and teams
all being necessary, suppose, to transport
orr late commanders baggage, and that OF
his little son, no rode with a special train
of aids-de camp inst behind his father. The
trouble is, however, that General Fremont
carried away with him Deputy Paymasfer
Phinney, with the military chest, con tanning
$500, 900, so far rs known, thus leaving the
army absolute destitute of pay, with the
exception of ta6Hs favored "body guard pfo-
pie" and the NA1qfn II issioned ami illegally
appointed staff sGlcers, who were all paid of
in full Immediately after Fremont had re-
ceived notification of his removal.

1t appears that these boys are en- lied 10 large

which under the recently &C ed la W OF me
rebel ConteIeracy, are IL danger of cOnfsca-

concluded not 10 grant passes TO go beyond the
lines Of the Federal army for such purposes,
as 1t intends TO I IKE such action as VIA render
utterly null aud void any Of the cCnfiscati0ns
