From st. Louis
GENERAL HUNTER IN COMMAND-THE ARMY
ENTHuSIASTIC.

ENTHUsIAsTIC.
81. Louis, Nov. 9-Gen. Fremont arrived
here in n special train last evening, and was
met at the depot by an enthusiastic crowd of
citizens. Large delegations of Germans, from
the various wards OF the CITY, escorted the
general to his quarters in II torchlight process
sion.
General Hunter has not yet put INTO effect
any decided measures for the conduct Of the
campaign, but ] am informed that he VIII
adopt plans entirely different from these q"
Fremont.
Col. Merrill was sent out on Il Reconnaissance
yesterday with l40 cavalry and Il section of
artillery. He examined the country around
Wilson's creek, but discovered no signs Of the
enemy-their advanced guard having lett for
the South on Sunday morning.
The main body of the rebels Is supposed to
be in the vicinity of Cassville.
Gen. Hunter has little faith, at present, in
their having u design of attacking us. He will,
however, in few days, have such reabo
information of their numbers, position, &u., as
to decide rs to II future.
The troops are now apparently rs enthusi A. tlI
rs ever, and the more they learn of their new
commander the better they are satisfied with
him. This opinion is also strengthened by the
high opinion entertained of Gen. Hunter b. all
the old regular army officers.
The reports that he officers Of many com.
panies and their commands threw down their
arms upon the announcement of the removal
of Gen. Fremont cannot be traced to any rrlil
Ole source.
Gen. Hunters position on the contrabaud
question is undersl ooi to be as follows:
Allnpgroes coming into camp will be retained,
and such Of them as are prove to be the prop.
erty of Union men will be duly appraised and
receipted for, to be paid when and how Con-
gress may see Mt.
Gen. Asboth has concluded to rema II in com
mand of his division.
Col. Albert, acting brgadier general, W Il
| also remain, and several other valuable foreign
officers, who, AT first, decided not to remain
Marcus J. Parrot, Of Kansas, has been ap
pointed on Gen. Hunters staff.
LATER.
According to Information received by Gen
Hunter, 1t Is now said that Gen. Price has l.,
intention OF attacking us, and that if pursued
further by us, he win scatter his army, or re
| treat to Fort Smith, Ark, and await develop
| ments on the Potomac and in Kentucky.
1t Is very doubtful whether any further nd
vance of the main body of our army will ht
made, but further INTEL gence Of the numbers
position and designs Of the rebels, may change
the policy.
General Siegel has been appoiuted command
| ant At this post.
| General Hunter spent Il part of yesterday IL
| visiting the various camps, and examining ,D;,
| the general condition OI the army, AMI lu day
| he ha. gone ON a reconnaissance south, wltl
| his body guard, 400 infantry, II battery of arul
] lery, and several companies of cavalry.
