Moven ents of Gen. Price.

LeriNgt0n No., 7h.-The correspondent Of
the St. Louis Republican writes as follows -
The plan of Gen. Price, after he captured
Lexington, was to remain for time and oper-
ate on the north side Of the river, and, for this
purpose, on Saturday, Sept. 2s, he crossed over
The river at Lexington with 1000 mouDted

all the government forces in Northern NJ ssourl -
But, late in the evening, Alfred Jones, who
had been released as a prisoner at the Arsenal,
where he had taken the oath Of allegiance TO
the United States Government, returned from
st. Louis IN Lexington, and reported that the
whole cOuLtrv below was alive with troops
that Fremont was after Price, and that Price
might prepare for big fight in few days.
This seemed to raise the courage of Prices
men, and they said, 'let Fremont come I" they
were ready fer him. But when Jones announced
that Fremont had 80, 900 men, and his only fear
was that Price would not make a stand, the
latter countermanded his order for sending troops
to the railroad, and a messenger was Immediate
ly dispatched after those already started, aud
they recrosssd the river on Sunday morning.
That night Price issued orders for a movement

day, the 3Oth ult., but his train OF baggage
wagons about 200 in number, did not all get OF
before Wednesday morning. If Price had de-
signed to have fight with Fremont he would
have taken the Georgetown road, or possibly
the Warrensburgh road, but instead Of this, he
has gone ON the road leading down the western
boundary Of the state and to the southwest.

Southern Confederacy.

II is instructive 10 remark that dissen-
sion has already begun TO spring up res
pecting the choice of gentlemen worthy
to inaugurate the projected Southern
Confederacy. The Americas Georgian, for
merly Democratic paper, nominates the
following "ticket:"
A. G. Brown, of Mississippi President.
J. ii. Hammond, of S. c., Vice Prest.
W. L. Yancy, of Ala, Sec'y of State.
r. B. Rhett, of S. c., Sec'y. of Treas'y.
jeff. Davis, of Miss. Sec'y of War.
Jno. Sldell, of La. Secy. of Navy.
G. S. Hawkins, of Fla, Sec of Interior.
NJ. A. Cooper, of Geo, ?. NJ. Gen.
Upon this the " Americas Union"
published at Griffin, Georgia, and former
ly Wing journal remarks as follows:
:" Now, ifthe Democracy ars 10 make
old party alignments the test for Office,
we shall believe that their only object in
erecting Southern Confederacysk to sat
isfy the cravings of Democratic ofiice-seek
ers. The Waynesboro' News also has
similar ticket-every man of which is a
Democrat. We hope they do not reflect
the sentiments of the old Democratic par
ty. If they do we now announce our in
tenton to battle with all our might against
that diabolical old party. For the sake
of common honesty we hope that old par
ty associations shall not be regarded by
the people of Georgia. The Democratic
presses speakers, and orators have assur-
ed us that these old party affiliations
should not be considered as tests for office
under the new administration OF affairs.
They have seen that Democratic policy
has proved futile to save the noblest Gov
eminent ever made. 1t would destroy
any Government under the sun; and we
hope and trust that it will not be intro
duced TO destroy the hopes of that glori-
Gus Southern Confederacy which we are
to have. Let our policy be to put our
best men in Office, irrespective of old po-
litical associations, and let them direct
our destiny. Party spirit and personal
have destroyed our former Gov
ernment. Let not these destroy the one
we are now about to erect"

DEATH AND IMMoRrALITY.-How trT'e
and touching are the following thoughts
by an unknown author:
Men seldom think Of the great event
of death until the shadow falls across
their own path, hiding forever from their
eyes the traces of the loved ones whose
living smile was the sunlight Of their exT
istence Death is the great antagonist Of
life, and the cold thought of tho tomb ia
the skeleton Of all ieasts. We do not
want to go through the dark valley, al
though its passage may lead to paradise;
and with Charles Lamb we do not want
to lie down in the muddy grave. ever
with kings and princes for our bed-fel-
lows. But the fat OF nature Is incxora-
bic. There is no appeal or relief from the
great law which dooms us TO dust. We
flourish and we fade as the Raves Of the
forest, and the flower that blooms and
withcrs in day has not Trailer hold up
on life thnn the mightiest monarch that
ever shook the earth with his Footsteps
Generations of men appear and vanish Al
the grass, and tho countless Multitude
that throngs the world to-day, will to-
morrow disappear as footsteps on tho
shore.

Sources of Cotton Supply.

A late number of the Providencet tR l. ]
journal conloins letter addressed by
Mr.. E. Geo. Squire, formerly our Charge
d'Affaires in Nicaragua, to Mr.. Senator
Anthony, in which he seeks to demon
strate the following points
|. That Central America is betteradapt-
ed for the production of cotton, of equal,
il not superior quality, in larger quanti-
ties, and at less cost of labor and capital,
than any portion OF the Southern States
of this Union.
2. That, by the introduction Of foreign
enterprise and capital, under such pro-
lection and guarantees as the. United
States and Great Britain could give,
through means of treaties with the Cen
trail American States, the cultivation of
cotton, with the existing local supplies of
labor, could be simulated TO the extent
of filling very large part Of the demand
for that staple, present or prospective.
3. That the country is emnently adapt
ed for the introduction of exotic labor,
and that, under such inducements as En-
gland and the United States could easily
secure from the local governments, emf
grafton would be attracted thither to an
extent adequate to remedy any defcien-
cy in the supply Of cotton resulting from
a lack of local labor.

Honest Talk.

In the subjoined expressions Of regret
at the decree Of the Georgia Convention
in pronouncing formal severance OF the
bond which untes that State with her sis
ters under the Federal Constitution, we
have the evidence of sentiment which
we are assured would be canyassed 10y q
majority Of the Georgia people if only the
question OF Union or Disunion could be
distinctly and directly brought before
them. We quote from the Language
(Geo.) Reporter ofthe 25th ultimo;
"The deed is donel Our rights are
not secured We have been ftedand drum
med-and votcd out of the Union. We
still love the Union. We love our old
