The St. Louis Democrat learns that Gen Price
has proceeded to organize his immense force up
on infantry basis, sending off the large number
Of horses attached to his camp, and reservlng
out of the whole but four REGIMENTS OF cavalry.
! The Democrat says
This proceeding means at least two things,
viz /: that the rebel general intends to deprive
his men OF the opportunity Of scattering or 60

that he is determined to give General Fremont
a fair, stand-up fight whenever the occasion Of

hearty appreciation of Gen. Fremont and the
brave soldiers under him. A regular stand-up
open field fight is just what they want

Col. MulIigan il the intrenchmcnts has not vet
been found by the rebels.
Of the safety OF several places which fear an
attack from the enemy, the Republican says:
" 80 lar as Jefferson City is concerned all the
accounts go to show that it is SO strongly torti-
lied that 1t can be held bya mparativelv small
garrison. Pilot Knob is in a scarcely less i'm
pregnabl2 situation and as for Rolla, that
point too is Nell protected We do not aniici-
