NEw YORK, Oct. so.
The Tribune Publishes a lengthy report
of Adjutant General Thomas, in regard to
+ emont's ease 1t can be summed up in
the statement that Gen. Hunter, his sec
ond in command gave a reluctant opinion
that Gen. Fremont was incompetent for
his extensive command. This also is the
concurrent testimony of large number of
the most intelligent men in Missouri, and
the report states that Fremont's order to
march was issued to an army,of nearly 40
O0O men, many Of the regiments badly
equipped, with inadequate supplies of am
munltlon, clothing and transportation.
In regard to Kentucky 1t is stated that
Gen. Sherman deems 200, 600 men neces-
sary, though he is willing to fight the enc
my with what he has No large bodies of
troops can be raised in that state, and it's
defence must devolve on the free States of
the west

ST LOUIS Nov. 2, 10 P. NJ,
By to-night's trains news has been re-
ceived that Gen. Thomas i. Price, by the
arrival of scouts at his headquarters at
Jefferson City, direct from his bro her,
Sterling Prices camp, has ascertamed that
the latter, on Sunday, was at Neosho, with
about thirteen or fourteen Thousand Mis-
souri, and Arkansas troops, and about five
! thousand Indians, the latter claiming Ben
| McCulluch as their leader. 1t was given
out in Prices camp that be would not
make stand in Missouri but would fall
back upon Camp Walker, across the Ar
kansas line. Ben McCulluch left Neosho
on Saturday for Fayetteville, to hasten re-
Inducements from Kansas to Camp Walker.
The same authority brings Intelligence
credited along the route, but which seems
doubtful, that Gen. lJim Lane is south of
Gen. Price to the west, and has sent to
Major Gen. Fremont for reinforcements :;
and that large mounted force has been
dispatched to bis relief.
ST. LoRIs, Nov. 2.
Gentlemen arriving last night from the
Southwest and passing near Prices camp
state posltivel J that Price has determined
on battle with Fremont's forces, and the
rebels are making every preparation for
defense. Large cannon are reported on
several high hills near Neosho. ta
Fremont by this time is probably in the
vicinity Of the rebels, and a general en-
gagement is hourly looked for.
