late IN the evening, Alt Jones, who had been re-
leased az prisoner at the st. Louis Arsenal
where he had taken the oath Of allegiance to the
United States Government, returned from ST.
Louis to Lexington and reported that the whole
country below was alive with TROOPS tn 1t Fremont

Courage of Prices men, and they said, "Let Ere

sending troops to the railroad, and q messenger
was Immediately dispatched after those already
started.

That night Price made his order tor a movement

the idea that he has gone to meet McCulloch,
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 tor the occasion, and have since gone
home. His force was $4,000 or l. 900 when he
ieft Lexington; and as the fact becomes certain
that his destination Is Arkansas, his force will be
decreased.

ApArslsrRArIoN.-Ye esterday afternoon we took
. tour Of inspection through Camp Mcclellan.
and were agreeahly astonished TO see the great
improve ements made since the Cavalry Regi
ment left for the barracks, and new officers
we're placed in charge. The ola barracks have
bsen taken down and new ones built in more
convenient and servicable manner, after the
regulation form. These buildings are ar,ang.
ed with berths three deep along the sides
with ample room between for setting a table,
and drill 10 bad weather. At the end room
10 partitoned off for officers quarters, and ev.
srything made as convenient ss possible The
barracks are built in . triangular form and
in euch . manner as to do away with more
than one third the men required to do guard
duty Ut der the old arrangement The troops
all appear 10 be satisied with their new quar-.
tsrs, and the grumbhng is low confined to
those who. under no circumstances. would be
satisfied.
The Camp. until yesterday, has been under
the charge Of Lieut. Colonel Wm. Hall, who
has insugurRtsd many .: importan, improve
ments in and about the quarters, and in the
discipline Of the soldiers Col Hall, although
but short time in command. has gained the
respect and affection Of every officer snd sol.
dier 10 the Camp. His recent promotion gave
unbounded satisfaction to the men, and We are
sure the confidence Of the Government, in ap.
pointing him TO the responsible position, vss
not misplaced. He will prove himself to be q

Col. Hare is portly, good looking soldier.
and with oil glorious good fellow. He will.
when little better acquainted, become very
popular with officers and men.
The commissary department is eull under
the charge Of Hiram Price. Eeq.. assisted by
Messrs. Conner and Strseper. Under their ad
uinistrstion the soldiers will have nothing to
complain Of in the feeding line. The rations
are vastly superior to those furnished to the

SEND HIN ADRIFr.-Thc Governor
appointed Add Sanders his aid here in order
to stimulate him to do something in his (K,rk.
wood's) favor. Add packed the commission
and went to work to earn his 50 900 salary
which the Governor was to zee him paid-so
Add says Well the little aid pitched in and
whitewashed and belauded the q vernon
every day. and lost no occasion to make a loud
braying over the manifold virtues of the un.
washed But this only made the Governors
chances more desperate in this community, as
the record shows. The Governor was ba!ly
sold when he counted on any influence through
that appointment. We doubt not that Add
has tried hard to do the Gov. good service
here, but he is not the sort Of a person ca!cu.
lated TO do anybody any good. The Governor
has been swindled u damaged article has
been palmed off upon him as genuine. and he
should turn the little Joker adrift. or keep him
only at a reduced salary. Give him all he
earns and the State will be none the poorer
Tor paying him.
