expenditures over the Postoffice Department

1t is probable that new department will
be created in the West and its command de-

moval at rest:
"WAsHINGToN, October 8.

ST. LOUIS, October 4.-The Democrat this
morning, in an article showing why General
Lyon was not REINFORCED, states that the en-
tire force under General Fremont on the I'd of
August, including Lyon's command of four
thousand, was nineteen thousand three hun
dred and fifteen, OF which twelve thousand
five hundred and fifty-six were three. months
men whose term of enlistment was just ex-
piring, leaving an active force of six thousand
seven hundred and ffty-nine in the entire
department. Ofthese Lyon had two thousand
three hundred and twenty men. The balance,
four thousand four hundred and thirty nine,
being the total strength of Fremonts avail
able force.
At this time, Cairo, Birds Point and Pa
ducah were menaced by accumulating rebel
forces, and the President ordered Fremont to
take all his available troops and re-enforce
these points, for which service only four
thousand one hundred and twenty-six men,
including upward of nine hundred St. Louis
Home Guards, could be raised.
Rolla, the terminus of the South
Branch of the Pacific Railroad, at this time,
was the depot of largo and valuable guam
| tity of army-stores and munitions, and was
protected by the Seventh Mo. Regiment, Col.
Stevenson, and Thirteenth ILL.,, Col. Wyman
the former of which was ordered to march
! to Springfield but in consequence of the to-
tai absence of trsnsportations it could not
move. The article also shows q distribution
throughout the State of the constantly dis
| banding three-months men, and says after
the battle, Fremont was thoroughly exonor-
ated from blame by very many men, now
the loudest in condemning him.
