Missouri Matters.

Our chief apprehension now IS. that
Fremont will not be able to catch Price
and his runaway gang, to administer mer-
tied chastisement. All accounts concur
in stating that Price has undoubtedly ta-
ken the nearest possible route for Arkan-
sas. His army has dwindled materially
By desertions. His fighting force, when
last heard from, was not more thau l6,-
900 to $4,000. There were many hang
ers-on and followers, but the above com.
prised his available force. The troops uu-
der him are said to be secretly disguised
at this retreat, and are becoming sadly de-
moralized and depressed. They are, more
over, badly supplied, and much suffering
exists among them.
The inevitable and omnipresent Ben.
McCulloch is said to be expecting rein
forcements from Arkansas. These are ex-
tremely doubtful. We think there are no
Inducements of any magnitude within
his reach. ef
1t is now rendered certain that in pro-
ceeding to attack Lexington, Price was not
informed of the immense force that it
was in the power of Fremont to ultimate
ly bring against him. He accordingly ex-
pected to take Lexington by his superior
force, and make it his winter quarters
This is the more probable from the fact
that Lexington is in the centre of coun-
try abundant in supplies, and not unfriend-
" to the secession movement. But, learn
ing, as he did, soon after the Lexington
surrender, that Fremont wonld soon coop
him up and cut off his retreat, be immedi-
ately called in the 5000 troops sent to de-
stroy the Hannibal & St. Joe Railroad,
and with amazing haste took up his line
of march for the Arkansas border.
He was stimulated to this also by the
evident disappointment he experienced in
finding that there was no rising in the cen
tire of the State to favor his arms and wei
come his approach. There is no question
as to this; for he expressed himself as not
having been received and sustained as he
had erpected to be.
This hasty withdrawal is therefore a
complete defeat. Had he remained in
Lexington he would have fallen into FIRE.
mont's hands, unquestionably. Rumors
are currant, about his moving torward tc
form junction with McCulloch, and then
attack Jefferson City! This is evident
ly all CANNON. 1t is canard invented
doubtless, to pacify his troops, till he can
get into safe quarters.
1t seems tina: Price said that he had
been promised 10000 soldiers; whereas
he had but 10000 and must retreat. HI
was said to have been much disappointed
From the movement of things in Ere.
mont's hands at present, 1t appears that
the people of Missouri are beginning to
breathe freely, and to consider themselves
safe from disorder and persecution.

Iowa and the War. - Missouri
SeCeSSiOniStS.

An Iowa correspondent of New York
paper says:
So large proportion of the population
of the Western States are engaged in ag-
ricultural pursuits that the demand upon
them is felt far more severely than in the
Eastern and manufacturing States, where
the loose population is so much greater,
and yet every State has responded with al
most equal rapidity and willingness.
Iowa, with comparatively small popu-
lation, has already in the field six regi-
ments of infantry and two Of cavalry
Three more regiments of infantry and one
of cavalry are in camp ready to march,
Four other regiments are organized, and
are being rapidly recruited, making in all,
actually in the service of the Government
sixteen regiments. This does not include
the Independent regiments forming, or the
number of men in Missouri and along the
border, who are under arms for the protec-
ton of the Union men in Northern Mis-
souri, and Southern Iowa. There are per-
haps from 1000 to 1000 men performing
service of that character. l think that
without doubt, by the first of the coming
month, Iowa will have a force of 10000
men in the field under arms ready to per-
petuate our free Institutions, or perish with
them.
Some trouble is felt along our Southern
border owing to the inroads and depreda-
tions of Secessionists in Missouri. Mis-
souri, rebels are the meanest of the mean.
They are destitute of honor and without
courage. Their principal exploits consist
in burning railroad bridges, firing into pas
seuger trains, and stealing cattle and horses
from defeuceess families. Robbery, plum
der, and incendarism is their only employ
ment. Such a thing as fair fight or an
honorable battle, is beyond their concep-
tion. That they should be dealt with rig
orously and severely no one familiar with
their character questions.

The FIGHT ATLEESBURGH.
Death of Colonel Baker.
WAsHrseroN, Oct, 2l


The Herald's dispatch says the Govern
ment sent down the Potomac to- night two
steam tugs for the purpose of>bripging up
a number of vessels loaded with Gouern-
stores. They intend to pass the rebel bat
teries in the night.
The Navy Department to-day notified
the War Department, and also a number
of gentlemen who had vessels now below
the batteries and are afraid to venture up,
that after tomorrow they will be able to
bring up all the vessels. How it is to be
done the Department does not state.
A dispatch was received to-day from
Gen. Rosecraus, dated Camp Tompkins,
near Gauley Bridge, where he has been
encamped some time. He reports every
thing quiet. The rebels, it appears, are
falling back from their position, and from
the best information which can be obtain
ed of their movements, they are concentra-
ting in very large force below to co ope-
rate with Gen. Johnston, who has separa-
ted from Beauregard.
The Worlds dispatch says:-Rumors
have prevailed that Fairfax has been evac,
uated, and it is so announced in this eve.
nings Star, but information from the ad.
vanced lines show it to be incorrect; on
the contrary the indications are that the
rebels are in large force in the rear OF Fair
fax and are reinforcing the rebel army al
Leesburg.
Gen. Mcclellan will move his head-quar
tiers tomorrow to Bartlett's House, neal
Falls Church. 1t is point whence easy
communication can be had with the two
extremes of our lines.
The Cameron Rifles, Col. Detye, moved
out to Annandale, on the Little Rivel
Turnpike, nearly ten miles west of Alex
andria, aud took possession of the place
Our pickets had been stationed there fol
two days, and during the time had encoun
tered none of the rebels.

Ths Fremont Trouble.

If seems to be an established TACT that Gen.
eral FnrAoxr is really to be removed The
charges made against him were forwarded to
the President by the friends Of Mr.. BLAIR. 1t
is reported that he has Involved the Govern
mept in unnecessary expenditures to the amount
of nearly ten millions of dollars that he gave to
his California friends contracts for fabulous
amounts without requiring any security what
ever; that he denied Government officers inter-
views with him unless it particularly suited
him; that he assumed supreme powers which
were not delegated to him; that he did not obey
the instructions of the Government unless they
met his views The friends of Gen. FREMONT.
however. say, in unmistakable language, that
he has been unfairly dealt with; that he has
been villainously prosecuted because some
members of the Cabinet are jealous ofh popu-
larity; and that when an investigation takes
place he will make things manifest, and show
cleoner record than any other officer of hi.
rank in the service.

" The omission TO reinforce Gen. STONE
has cost the life of Col. BAKER, than whom no
more brave or talented man lived. With 49,
600 men under BANKS, 100000 under McCLEL-
Ian, and a superior force threatening STONE, the
inquiry. why was not the latter reinforced by
one ofthe former, may well be made. It will
be made. Some call the failure to reinforce a
blunder. Nay il is crime, for which the
guilty should suffer.
There has. as will be seen by the news pub
lished elsewhere in to-day paper. been some
more fighting in Missouri, in which the loyal
troops were successful. This being in General
fnEAosr's division. will probably settle the
question of his removal. A victory by his
forces will hardly be pardoned by his enemies

A NFGRo ESCORT "A number of the
Bull Run prisoners, it is known were sent
to New Orleans from Richmond.
Charleston papers announce that they
were escorted to their prisons through the
street of New Orleans by company of
negroes. This was done, for the purpose
of insult, and to wound thier feelings.
An escort of colored soldier may not be
regarded in the free States as so degrading
as the rebels intended. The thing that
will arrest Northern attention most is the
fact of the employment of negroes as SOL
iers. People will be apt TO ask why the
National side may not permit loyal COL
ored men to strike in behalf of Union, if the
other side employ negroes to help destroy
it? Men will naturally inquire what impro-
priety there would be in offsetting negro
with negro. If the slave of q rebel may
be used to fight for secession, why may
not the colored neighbor of loyal man be
allowed to fight for the Union! These
questions many people will not be deferred
from asking by the supposed sacredneSs OF
"divine institution"

HAYTAN EMGRAIIoS.-TbeH Hay;ian Emigra-
ton is taking off the colored people of the
United States and Canada by hundreds to the
Island Of San Domingo, where they intend, by
cultivating cotton by free labor, to strike an eff
fective blow at the emancipation of their un-
fortunate fellow-men now in bondage. The
New York Tribune Of the 18th says 400 able
bodiod, and intelligent colored Americans sail
ed that day from New York for Hayti, and 500
are already engaged to form the next colony,
which will depart in November.

~ Judge SAMPLE is reelected in this Dis
triet. Of course this was to be expected by all
reasonable men. Fourteen to fifteen hundred
majority was rather more than we could expect
TO overcome, though it was right enough to try.
We hope the Judge will now let politics and
making political speeches alone, for really he
cuts the poorest caper at either. of any man we
ever saw try it. With very few exceptions
ehave heard little complaint of him a, Judge.
He has been hard on the liquor sellers; but in
that all good men will sustain him.

FoRErGN CAP1rAL OFFERED.-The New York
Post says it learns from good authority that
certain foreign capitalists have offered MIR.
CHASE, the Secretary of the Treasury, to take a
hundred million loan of the United States gov
ernment. at six and a half per cent. interest.
It would seem that the fulminations of the Lon
don Times have not succeeded in frightening
any body. for our credit is as good rs it ever was
abroad. and the money holders of London
would be glad to see the Secretary accept their
propositions.

esxpects to eomplete il of the same kind. To
young men desiring to serve their country, no
better opportunity will ever be offered them of
getting into good company than is presented
now. Capt. TAMYHrLL. we understand also
lacks few men. This is also a good Compa-
ny, and we hope to See it filed in few days.
Wehope that young men belonging to Holmes
county intending to enlist in the service will do
90 in companies belonging to their own county,
for if they enlist elsewhere, the county to which
the company belongs gets all the honor. We
sre satisfied that our county has already fur
nished to adjoining counties more than suffi-
sient men to have made q full company, had
they enlisted here, and then we should have
had the credit for it. As it is we get none, and
We are even blamed by those who do not know
the facts, for not turning out more men.

Interesting from Richmond

Richmond papers of the 1lth show a
smart quarrel has sprung up between Wise
and the proprietors of the Enquirer on the
one hand, and Gen. Floyd no the other
The officers of the Wise Legion who
served in the Western Virginia campaign
so inglorionsly having published their dis
paraging opinions on the conduct of Floyd,
the assailed Gen. writes in the following
clustering strain to the publishers of the
Enquirer, who, it will be seen, retort by
reminding Floyd of his crimes and that he
lodges vindication in the "usual mode
among gentlemen"
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF KANAwHA, ]
CAMP ON SEwELL Oct. 6, 1861.
'In the Enquirer of October l, you have
published certain letters, dated in Camp
Defiance, purporting to be written by Off
GERS in the Wise Legion under my COM
mand. These pretend to narrate my con-
duct in this campaign, particularly in the
late action on the Gauley and retreat at
Meadow Bluff Their statement are ca
lumniatory falsehoods, having no shadow
of truth for their foundation; but their in
tention, and not less their malignity, is
too obvious to permit me to believe that
they can be injurious ether to my own
reputation or that of the army which l
then commanded" He commits his rep
utation to history, and winds up by de-
manding, the names of the officers who
published the libels against their general,
that they may be tried by the military tri-
bunals, and punished according to the laws
of the army.
The proprietors thus respond:
ENQUIRER OFFICE, Oct 10.
"John.B Floyd Esq.
"SIR: Your letter of October is before u.s.
Not recognizing any authority in yourself
either individually or as commander of the
army of Kanawha, to demand the names
of our correspondents, we decline to COM
ply with your request.
"TYLER, WISE & ALLEGRE.
awe decline to furnish the names of
our correspondents to Gen. Floyd because
of his purpose to seek his vindication
through courtmartial instead of the usual
mode among gentlemen. Whenever Gen.
Floyd proposes personal vindication, the
names of our correspondents shall be fur
nished.
ave shall dismiss this letter with the
statment that the characters of our cor
respondents hare neuer been stained by the
suspicion cf crime, and the charge of false
hood against them is much easier made
than proved. They are gentlemen, the
equal of Gen. Floyd in every respect, and
what they have averred in their communi-
cations we believe TO be true in letter and
spirit.
