GREAT BATTLE IN MISSOURI.

ST. LOUIS. Sept. 20.--A gentleman who
arrived here to-day from point on the Mis-.
souri, river, opposite Lexington, witnessed a
severe fight there on Wednesday afternoon,
Tor the possession Of the ferry boats lying az
the levee. Prices rebel forces advanced on
The boats from above and below, but after a
severe fight they we're repuIsed. Price also
assaulted Colonel Mulligan's entertainments
four or Eve times on Wednesday, and was
repulsed each time, with loss Of three or
four hundred killed and wounded.
Federal reinforcements, under Gen. Stur-
els, were expected to arrive on Wednesday
night. but as Price has possession Of some Of
the ferry boats they would be unable to cross
the river. This account is rather incoherent,
and entire reliance is not placed on it here.
1t is evident, however. that the reported cap
ture OF the town on Tuesday is not correct
Additional particulars of the attack on
Lexington have been received. II has been
ascertained that the first attack was made. on
Monday, with about 5000 men, lasting two
hours, when the rebels were repulsed with
loss Of one hundred killed and from two to
four hundred wounded Our loss is report
ed at only five killed and several wounded.
The Federal Notifications are situated at
the edge of the town. on bluff overlooking
the river. The works are Of earth, seven
feet high and twelve feet thick, with a ditch
surrounding them.
Another and smaller work is erected in
side, defended also by ditch. The whole
is capable Of holding ten thousand troops.
The attack on "Wednesday by Gen. Prices
rebel troops was very determined one, and
lasted nearly all day, resulting in heavy loss
to the enemy.
The Federal reinforcements from the
North, under Gen. Slurgis, will probably
number 5000, but should they be unable to
cross the river the only aid they can render
will be TO sweep the enemy with their artil-
lery.
1t is confidently hoped, however, that the
reniorcements which left Jefferson City on
Wednesday. by the steamers, will be able to
land at or near Lexington, and cut their way
through the enemy's forces, and JOIN Col.
Mulligan.
|, is said that Col. Mulligan expressed his
confident expectation d being able to hold
his own against any force that might be
brought against him.

I'M PoRTANT FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA.

We have intelligence of highly important
movements in Western Virginia. and of the
action of our Government in taking instant
and vigorous measures to try the conclusions
OF the campaign.
The report already given in the Examiner,
to the effect that Gen. Lee had gone to Gen.
Floyd. is fully confirmed by additional dis.
patches. Accounts received yesterday re-
port his arrival at Floyd's camp at Meadow
Bluff.
The army in the Northwest remained IN
der the command Of Gen. Loring.
Reinforcements 10 the amount of sixty
four companies have been sent to Floyd's
command. They comprise four Virginia
regiments, a Georgia regiment, d Mississippi
regiment, and battalion Of Louisiana vol
unteers. composed oil four companies. The
considerable portion Of this large force has
already reached Floyd's camp. Two regi,
ments will leave the city tomorrow to rein
force our army in the West.
Wise's cUmmandhas been ordered TO Lew.
isburg.
We learn, apart from any official publca-
ton Of the Government. that Gen. Wise has
been ordered to report at Richmond. The
reasons or circumstances which have Undue.
ed this order are matters Of conjecture, all
though il is supposed that Gen. Wise is 70
be transferred 70 another command.
The present movements are understood 10
be indicative Of unusual yigor aud concent-
ratlon in the prosecution Of the campaign.
The next news the prosecution Of the cam
paign. The next news from the West will
be awaited with impotence.
