Capt Walter, Of Col. Marshall's regl-
ment, who was at Lexington, arrived here
this a. m, having left there Thursday
noon. He saw no rebel troops between
Lexington and Sedalia, and says the
main body Of Prices forces was there
when he departed He also says it is be-
ieyed they intend to make stand and

well calculated from its streams and deep,
miry banks without bridges to trouble al
advancing enemy. All the Federal Off.
GERS have been released on parole but Col
Mulligan, who refused to give his parole
for private reasons.
Price probably has $4,000 men, and
the rebels ON Thursday confidently expect
ed that Hardee with 5000 or 5000, and
McCulioch with 10000 men were within
or 3 days march of Lexington. They
have no faith in McCuloch as a General
but think he is very effective with small

A spy, who was attempting to escape

The opinion seems to be gaining ground
that the rebels intend to remain at Lex
