DIR. White reports that Price is decided
upon this point, having been elated and
intoxicated by his victory Mt Lexington.
lie says that Price anticipates an easy
victory over Fremont ut this point and will
thea move on st. Louis. There were no
less than $4,000 Secessionists ready to
hands.

deavor to get between US and tho force at

Especial to the st. Douis Republican)
DR.. White says lie heard, on his way
here, that 5000 rebels had parted from
the main body, and marched toward
Georgetown, with the intention of taking
that place before reinforcements could ar
rive from Jefferson City.
A miller, who left Georgetown yesterday
morning, says he was turned back by the
enemy's pickets, IL miles from that town.
The Doctor believes that the rebels have
no idea of quitting the State, but intend
to make demonstration in vast numbers
upon Georgetown, Jefferson aud st. Louis,
and that they are perfectly confident Of
their ability to take them.
No.immediate attack is feared on George
town, and our forces there are prepared to
receive the foe.
An officer here, formerly of Mulligans
Irish brigade, who left the vicinity of Lex
ington on Monday, places no confidence in
the truth of the above. This officer says
at the time he left not more than 10000
rebels had quilted Lexington, and that
nothing was known of their intention
or what policy Price had concluded to
pursue.
Boonville and Glasgow were quiet at
latest hdvices, hut our forces are on the
alert for the fight.
Many persons think there will be no gem
cral engagement, since the reported eyac-
untion of Lexington; but others believe he
will very soon strike II blow in some quar-
ter, where he is least expected and the
prospects of II battle is now increased
rather than diminished.
