Of the town. He seems to be locating himself for
quite stay here.

ing.
Col. Thatcher and Lieut.. Tenant left Lexington o
Thursday last AMI went acrss the Juntry to the
! est point the Hannibal and ST Joseph railroad.
They were stopped at two different places BY secess
ifon banda, WHO paid no regard to General S. Prices
| permit or to the parole, saying lie wa but man
| anyhow, and that they we're damned Eederals, and
had no business there.
| At one point muskets were cooked and pointed
at their heads. and probably at both places they
YOGld have suffered violence if it not for the
fact that Lieut.. Sol, TeplSnt happened To b. Ma
son. and found frieuds among the rebel bigl, who
/ took him under their protection.
The more one hears of the particulars of the
! Lexington siege, the more must one admire the
gallant bearing of our little band there. The Fed
erai ofcers III omitted IN saying that they treat
ed with the greatest courtesy by the officers of the
rebel army, though they suffered nat little from
the unbridled Geen of the soldiers whOstJe their
/ horseF, sde-arms, and plundsred clothing of the
men, unfortunately.
/ One of the rebel regiments having helped them
selves to the uniforms of Col. Muligans troops,
now called the Irish Brigade.
The Confederates are IN possession of any qusnti
ty of aRmgpitOn, it being buried and hidden away
in various parts of the country. After the surren
! der no less than 700 los ED shCls were fOun1
buried within the intrenchIhents. Directly beneath
| the ground over which the EederAls had 80 long
been fighting. They were buried there by the res
bells several months since. The rebels had full IN
fOrmaEoE in regard to MulligGns defenses, the po-
sition of his guns, etc, furnished by prominent
lady Of Lexington disguised as mglatto woman,
having visited them several days before the fight
and gained full information.
The Federal officers give the most amusing ao-
counts of the appearance of the rebel troops. They
state that Gen. Harris division is the only portion
of the army which is under any sort of discipline
The men are distinguished by red badge around
the arm the officers have piece Of red funnel on
the shoulder. Red tape is, however, unknown.

CAIRO Sept. IA coil of submarine telegraph
cable came down the other night, with which it is
intended TO connect the military posts.
At Camp Holt there is speeious appearance of
security, and atf4rs remain quiet, but from the
eager watch that is maintained it is evident that
their proximity to Cairo does not entirely assure
them of immunity from surprise attack Since
our troops evacuated Fort Crittenden the enemy
have made their appearance there, and seized the
person OF prominent UniOn man, who had, by his
patriot SIN, stronger hold than usual On &c affec
tisns OF our men. Yesterday a party went out
from Camp Holt intending to execute righteous
letters of mqrque and reprisal on certain Seces-
sionists as pledges for his safety. The expedition
has not yet returned.
