St. Louis, Oct. 10.

The Lexington, 7th, correspondent of
the Republican writes as follows:
1.-The plan Of Gen. Price, after he cap
tured Lexington, was to remain for a
time. and operate on the north side of the
river and. for this purpose, on Saturday.
the 28th Of September, he crossed over
the river at Lexington 1000 mounted men,
and this force took up their line of march
for the railroad, with the view of its to

northwestern Missouri but, late in the

ton. and reported that the whole country
below was alive with troops that Ere
mont was after Price, and that Price might
prepare for big fight in few days.
This served to raise the courage of Price s
men, and they said, let Fremont come !;
they were ready for him. But, when
Jones announced that Fremont had 80 600
men, and his only fear was that Price
would not make stand. the latter coun.

railroad. A messenger Vas Immediately

Hollis Letter to Lincoln.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12, 18G

WASillNUTON, sept. *, loOl
Dear Sir Z: The late act of Congress
providing for the confscation of the estates
Of persons in open rebellion against Gov.
ernment was as a necessary war meas
ure accepted and fully approved by the
loyal men of the country. 1t limited the
penalty of confscation to property actually
employed in the service of the rebellion
with the knowledge and consent of its
owner, and, instead of emancipating
slaves thus employed, left their status to
be determined either by courts of the
United States or by subsequent Legislation.
The proclamation, however, of General
Fremont, under date of the 3Oth of August
transcends. and, Of course, violates the
law in both these particulars, and declares
that the property of rebels. whether used
in support of the rebellion or not. shall be
con6scated, and if consisting in slaves,
that they shall be at once manumitted.
The act of Congress referred to was be-
lieved to embody the conservative policy
of your Administration upon this delicate
and perplexing question, and hence the
loyal men Of the border Slave States have
felt relieved of all fears of any attempt on
the part of the Government Of the United
States TO liberate suddenly in their midst
population unprepared for freedom, and
whose presence could not fail to prove
painful apprehension, if not of terror, to
the homes and families of all.
You may therefore we'll Judge of the
alarm and condemnation with which the
Union loving citizeas of Kentucky-the
State with whose popular sentiment am
best acquainted-ha read his proclama-
ton. The hope is earnestly INDUCED by
them as it is by myself, that this papv, was
issued under the pressure of a military ne
cessity. which General Fremont believed
justified the step, but that in the par,icu-
lars specified it has not your appreciation
and will not be enforced in derogation of
law. The magnitude of the interest at
stake, and my extreme desire that by no,
misapprehension Of your sentiments or
purposes, shall the power and fervor of the
loyalty Of Kentucky be at this moment
abated, or chilled, must be my apology for
the ffankness with which have addressed
you, and for the request l venture to make
Of an expression Of your views upon the
points of General Fremont's proclamation,
on which | have commented.
l have the honor to he, very respectfully,
your obedient servant. J. HOLT
His Excellency, ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
President Of the United States.

jackson availed himself Of this cofnmand
AS an escort to get himself out Cf danger.
Price and all his forces left on Monday,
the 3Jth ult: but his train of baggage
wagons, about 200 in number, did not
all get off before Wednesday morning
If Price had designed fight with Fre-
mont, he would have taken the George
town road. or possibly the Warrensburg
road; but. instead of this, he has gone the
road leading down the western boundary
of the State and to the southwest
His most intelligent friends consider his
course a complete back-down, while the
more verdant are solaced with the idea
that lie has gone to meet Nc cCulloch, who.
from the most reliable information, is some
where in Arkansas.
The forces of Price were very large at
Lexington. but many of the men were
only for the occasion, and have gone home
His force was $4,000 or 5000 when he
left Lexington, and, as the fact becomes
certain that his destination is Arkansas.
his forces will be decreased"

they haAe transpircd here, and. if Price
does not make stand and give battle. al
who are cognizant of his movements will
be disappointed.

We most cordially indorse the follow
ing from the New York World, an able and
Influential Republican jo=rnal
We are in the receipt of many affecting
letters from the parents and friends oi
soldiers now held in captivity by the
rebels at Richmond and Charleston, ur-
ging us to call upon the Government for
their immediate exchange. We ale not
insensible to the claims which these men
have upon the sympathy of the public and
the consideration of the Government. In
deed. we have more than once exposed the
unreasonableness Of a policy which should
refuse to release somo of the bravest and
most suffering of our volunteers for fear
of violating official punctillio, or of involv
ing recognition of rebel authority. No
true friend Of the Government can be will
ling to believe that the case of these cap
tured men is not the subject its anxious
and solicitous attention, or that some
practicable plan for their release is not
rapidly maturing"

The best piece OF satire upon the len.
iency observed by the authorities, in ref
erence to rebels found committing depre-
dations, is in tho shape of story which
is told. we believe. by Governor Pierpont.
As the story goes, some of the soldiers in
General Cox's Camp, down in Kanawha,
recently caughta large rattlesnake. The
snake manifested most mischievous dis
position. Swapping, and thrusting ou, its
forked tongue, at all who came rear it.
The boys at last got tired of the reptile.
and as nobody wauted such dangerous
companion. the question arose. "What
shall we do with him." This question
was propounded several times without an
answer, when half drunken soldier, who
was lying near upon his back. rolled over
upon his side, and relieved his companions
by quietly remarking. "Swear him and let
him Co.

PLYMOUTH, INDIANA:
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18th, 1861


MArTrSGLY shows the cloven foot in the
las, issue of the Republican, in his attempt
10 get the DEMOCRAT excluded from the
mails. or suppressed. lie has been guilty
Of a great many mean acts in his life, and
his present exertions to get our Office de-
stroyed By mob. or the paper suppressed
by government. may well be classed with
them. If he possessed any of the attri-
butes cf man. he would scorn such
methods of combating an opponent. We
have no fears that he will be successful in
influencing ruffians to mob our office, or
the government to exclude our paper from
the mails nevertheless, his conduc, is Jus;
as detestable as if he accomplished his
designs.
Men of such a tyrannical, cross-grained
disposition as MArrINGLY, stop at no con-
ceivable method of retaliation for suppos-
ed injuries, from the most cowardly and
contemplate, to the most atrocious and
villainous. Nothing manly, nothing no.
bic. just, or true, is expected of him. and
when he exhibits his innate meanness, as
he has lately concerning our business af-
fairs, it is but an additional illustration of
the degree of meanness to which he is ca
pable Of attaining.
If the DEMOCRAT contained as obscene
matter as has appeared in the columns Of
the Republican. at almost any time since
i. has been published here, we Should ex-
pect it TO be excluded from the mails and
females. too. A gentleman of our ac-
quaintauce says he has the Republican left
at his place OF business, as he does not
wish his family to read a paper that caus-
es them to blush And yet the man who
publishes such vehicle of filth, billings
gate and obscenity. thinks that because
the DEMOCRAT does not endorse abolition
ism. such as Fremont has been inaugu-
rating lately iii Missouri, and applaud a
few leading politicians who have accepted
lucrative military positions, it should be
suppressed
His dislike Of the DEMOCRAT is very
good evidence that i! is what it should be-
His praise would injure more than his de-
famalion. He thinks that barking at US
will conceal his meanness from public
view

European Intervention i'm 1EcxicO.

From the London Glole Organ Of Lord Palmer,son
England and France are both largely
interested IN the welfare OF Mexico. There
are debts TO be paid, there are lives to be
saved. England has larger amount ot
capital employed in Mexico than France,
but the subjects of the French Empire
there are more numerous" Nor are
Spain and the United States unnteresteG
The lives and properties Of their subjects
ale also in imminent peril day by day.
England has a right to enter and seize the
custom houses, and appropriate the reve-
nues for the payment of debt. No one
questions for moment the right of inter
vention No one can doubt that the SUB.
ject has occupied the anxious attention OF
France and England, OF Spain, and even
of the Government of the United States
But it is easier to note the peril than to
devise the remedy. Intervention Is easy.
No large force would be required TO bring
the country to its senses. Bat no Gov
ernment would enter on such course
without ample deliberation and careful
forecast Of The consequences. It is i'm
possible to doubt that England and france
alone, with small force, could walk into
the city of Mexico whenever they pleased;
but, If needed, Spain could supply all the
cavalry that such an expedition would
require. There would be no difficulties in
doing the business thoroughly, so far as
the mere Occupation. Of the country and
Capitol were concerned. The difficulties
would arise afterward. They are great,
but not insuperable. Any intervention OF
the kind we have indicated, whenever re-
solved on, whenever executed. could not
tail to succeed as mere measure Of mill.
tary policy. called Cor by the outrages on
common humanity in Mexico. That such
an Intervention is extremely probable, and
indeed only question Of time, is what all
feel who have considered the subject. But
it is clear y one that cannot be undertaken
without very careful preparation, without
clearly defined objects, and due subor-
dination of the means to the end. All that
the parties concerned are interested in OBJ
tanning is a recognition and liquidation Of
money obligations. guarantees for the Sc
curiiy of life aud property, and the exem.
plary punishment Of those who have COM
mltted atrocious crimes on the persons of
Europeans. The question is. how can
these objects be accomplished with the
least loss of life and the least cost? That
an attempt must be made, sooner or later,
to accomplish them. we are not able to
doubt, although it is not so easy to see The
precise means which may be adopted for
reaching the ends in view. The condition
of Mexico is worldwide scandal and a
reproach to civilization, and cries aloud for
amendments.

Senator Spinola. of New York. in a
recent speech to a Union meeting in
Brooklyn. said
He justified the Government in suppress
sing treason and locking up traitors; but
he favored equal justice in using this
power. DR.. Tying uttered reasonable
language when lie said he would not be
satisfied with the Union unless slavery
was abolished. When he uttered senti-
ments like those uttered the other night
in Cheever's church, he spoke treason,
and he should be sent to keep company
with other traitors at Fort Lafayette.

and equal justice under it for every man,
rich and poor; it should reach all men,
whether IN the marble palace on Fifth
avenue, or in mud hovel. When Wen
dell Phillips said be was secessionlst for

law should reach him; he believed that i:
should be dealt out to Secessionists, and
that being an Abolitionist should afford
no protection--the law should be used
against both. Cheers.
