The missonrt News in washington
Public Opinion and Fremont.
Especial Dispatch to tho New York POst)

wAsHlNGroS, Sept. 24.-The Cabinet is
in session this morning, aud it is under
stood that the disaster to the federal forces
at Lexington is the subject of discussion.
The opponents of General Fremont
charge that he could have prevented the
necessity of Mulligan's surrender by send
ing timely reinforcements to Lexington.
Recent advices received from st. Louis by
Fremonts friends, however, state that he
had no troops to spare, and thatit was en-
tirely impossible for him to strengthen
Muliigan's position. The liveltest discus
sions of the state of affairs in Missouri
prevail here to-day in all quarters.
1t is nscerniined that General Patterson's
campaign in Yirgiuia cost the Government
fully ten millions Of dollars. The sole re-
suit was the capture of some twenty fn-
gitive slaves, nearly all OF whom were re-
turned to their masters.
The national fast day is to be strictly OBJ
served in Washington. All the public
buildings and departments will be closed.

The Lexington Affair Reported At
tack of Gen. Siegel ON tie Rebels.


CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-ttom reports of
some Of MuIligan's couimand, who reach
ed this city last night, we have the follow
ing additional particulars
The men left Lexington on Saturday at
ternoOn. Nearly two hosifs were occupied
in frrrying them over the river. At three
o'clock they started for Hamiit n, 40 miles
distant, under the guidance of several
armed secessionists. The advance por-
ton reached Hamilton q sunrise. Al ten
o'clock most of the party took the train
for Quincy. Alopg the route to Hamilton
they were, in general, kindly treated. All
the money they could raise was employed
to get wagons 70 carry the wounded
through. All those severely wounded re-
mained at Lexington if!s.y7
Only one commissioned officer, Lient.
Hollenburg escaped.
All accounts agree that the rebel loss
was killed and dangeiously wounded,
from 500 TO 200. ~
The Quincy HHig states, ON the infor-
nation of an Intelligent fnepiber of Col.
MarshaA's Regiment, thata leading rebel
surgeon conceded loss Of \ ,l34. Some
400 horses of Dol. MArhalls Regiment
were killed, it being impossible TO shelter
them from the enemyis eannons After the
Surrender, many OF the men Killed their
horses to prevent them rom falling Into
the enemy's hands.
A large sum OF mnuI estimated at a
half million aof dollar half in specie,
was secured By Price, sAttef Being {bufiel7
by Col. Mulligan.
Special reports By telegraph from Qain-
cy, TO the Cbicago Tti5nde, say that Gen.
SiegeI, with large force, also Gems. Lane
and Hunter, had arrived atLexlngtonsau
attacked Price.
An officer in the employ of the Govern
ment, heard heavy firing while passing
Hamilton Yesterday, and saysit was be-
lieved that Siegel had Price in the same
position that Mulligan had been placed in.
In regard to Gen. Hunter, this cannot be
true, as he was Mt Rolla, $50 miles from
Lexington, on Saturday.
