jackson made speech. Price claims to
have sixteen thousand men, and his main
body is approaching Lexington.
This messenger brings an official account
offs skirmish between the rebels and General
Lanes forces, dated Fort Bledsoe near Fort
Scott, September 4th, the substance of which
is as follows: "He says Immediately after
leaving Springfield he dispatched General
Rains to clear the counties bordering on
Kansas of the narauding bands which had
been devastating that section of country he
himself advanced to the assistance of Rains,
snd their entire force encountered at Big
Drywood Creek, the forces under Lane
Montgomery and Jennison, and after q brisk
skirmish of On hour and a quarter, the Fed
eral troops retreated, and were pursued by
his forces about three miles. He states his
loss at three killed, and twenty. seven
wounded, and says they buried three of
Lanes men.
He concludes by saying that the enemy
have continued to retreat Northward from
Fort Scott, which post they have abandoned,
and adds:
"This relieves me of the necessity of pur-
suing them into Kansas, the soil of which l
am unwilling to invade, unless her citizens
shall provoke me to do so by committing re-
newed outrages on the people of this State.
In that event l shall not only cross the
border, but will lay waste their farms, and
utterly destroy the cities and towns of that
State.H
This correspondent adds while this shows
that there has been some skirmishing on the
border, it does not prove that the rebels have
gained any advantage, but, on the contrary,
it would appear that they have found force
too strong for them, and have given up their
plan Of advancing into Kansas, and turned
upon the weaker force at Lexington. Their
design now is evidently, first to take Lex
ington, and then bring Claib. Jackson here"

WASHINGTON, September l3.-The Presi-
dent and Secretary of State have been in
receipt of a number of petitions, from New
York and Philadelphia, calling for the ex-
| pulsion of William Fl. RUSSELL the London
Times's correspondent, on the ground that he
is public enemy, who should not be toler-
ated at this crisis of our affairs.
Lieutenant Reynor, of an Ohio regiment,
Quartermaster of the Thirty-eighth, and
Captain Hurd, of the First Kentucky, arrived
here to night from Richmond, where they
had been held as prisoners. They made their
escape on the fifth of this month.
