are as industriously at work as If everything

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. %.
A special dispatch from Upton says a
scout came into Scda!ia yesterday, and re-
ports that Price is moving for Springfield,
where it is deemed certain that he will make
stand.
Gen. Kennedy, just returned from Prices
army, reiterates the same thing, and says
Price will have more reinlorcements than the
Government dreams of.
Gen Lane entered Pleasant Hill the other
day. and planted a United States flag, and
made speech.
There is still number Of sick at Ottcrvie

Another dispatch Of Saturday night, says
Gen. Fremont arrived at Bolivar, Polk coun-
ty, 16 miles from Camp Morrissey, and en-
camped on the outskirts of the town.
1t is now ascertained that the loss Of Ere
nont's body-guard in the brilliant charge at
Springfield was to killed, and Is to 90
wounded.
A number Of most brilliant instances Of
daring were shown on the Federal side.
One Sergeant had three horses shot from
under him; and rebel placed pistol at
Seagonis breast, and was in the act Of
firing, when the Major severed his arm from
the shoulder, and laid him dead at his horses
feet. .
Concerning Major White, nothing reliable
is known. Some say that he was taken i'll,
others that he attacked Springfield at another
point and lost men, and now holds it.
Nothing has been heard of Price and Nc
Culloch at Fremont's camp, but it is believed
that general engagement will take place
within two weeks, unless the rebels retreat to
Arkansas.
Another dispatch received this afternoon,
reports McCulloch on Grand Prairie with TO-,
900 men.

Republican nomination for Attorney General
of New York. He had previously accepted
the nomination of the Peoples Union Con-

Committee he says:
Gas the nomination you made was tender
ed, not for party purposes, nor in partisan
sense, but was an echo to the popular voice,
and in the same spirit, my acceptance of the
one is an acceptance Of both. Not desiring
the office, would not have accepted a nomi-

STRANGE TRUTH.

We live under Republican Administra-
ton. Although it is hardly possible for the
mind to fully and clearly comprehend this
fact, yet such is really the case. Locofo.
coism has at length lost control of the
Government, and yet,-s.rangest fact of
all,-the world rolls on!
From the incredible amount of gass that
has been circulated, and the unnumbered
and infallable predictions made by sagacious
Democrats, of the inevitable ruin to follow
such q state of things, we had come to the
conclusion good while ago, that when the
eventful fourth day of March should arrive,
and Republican President be inaugurated,
there would certainly be general ripping
up of nature and things. But the day came
and passed, just as many day has come
and passed the sun rose in the east, and
also in the morning, and after shining about
as long as is customary at this time o'year,
he disappeared in the west it was light in
the day time, but darker at night. Smoke
went upward, as usual, and water ran down
hill the mud appeared as muddy as the
day before, and the Big Muddy remained
between here and Omaha, which latter City
continued to be west of US. Old ABE was
inaugurated, and, notwithstanding Demo-
cratic prophecies and Democratic prayers,
the world,-or at least so much of it as is
located out this way,-ddn't bust.

THE INAUGURAL.

We publish to-day the Inaugural Address
Of President LINCOLN. We have only
time to say that it is q model Of perspicui,y,
and that it takes broad and intellig ent
view OF the existing troubles. I. fully
meets the expectations of the great mass of
the Union men of the Nation, but is less
successful with the Secessionis,s and Abo-
ltionists. No one, after reading the Ia
augural, will longer doubt that, at last We
have a Government that viii protect itself
alike from foes without, and traitors within.
No other assurance is needed.
