The Army In Missouri.

Chicago journal, dated Rolla, Mis-
snri, November 2sth, brings very
different report from that otherwise
received in regard to the danger
n0m Prlce's movements:
Yon may think IL strange, that
ehile Price 10 again advancing on
Scdalia ard Upton in force, and
Rem. Mccullough following us up 90
close, az to he within IS miles ot
Isnlla. at the G. 'sconade with large
force, have not informed you Of It,
40 that you could, with other papers
publish onr danger; but the facts are
that there is no danger. Price has
not advanced; Ben. Mccullough lie
not in this part OF the state, and will
not be as long as 10, 900 such troops
"a those of Gen. Ashboth, ~igcl AMI
Wyman, hold this post with a good
abundance oi all kinds Of munitions
ui war. lnhabitants from the vicin.
ity Of Springfield, keep coming in
and report that there is no large force
on the road between hero and there.
Gen. WymaD saye that II is in
the bipgest degree improbable that
Price with large force would ad
vance Northward without certain
necessary supplies, which no ,ould
not get short Of Little Rock. Arkan
sas--snch az salt, for instaDce--it
being impossible to get q pound
from the vicinity Of Springfield, and
IL would have been impossible for
him to have collected sufficient sup.
plies Of these things in so short a
time. And. in short, the rumors
that have filloi the papers OF late,
with regqrd to the advance of the re.
bells, are entirely without ionnda
ton.
Our campa have been greatly
clecred by a visit from Mrs. Chad
bourn, Of our city, and Miss Math.
or, of Springfield, Illinois. They
nre recognized everywhere as true
friends OF the Soldier. And they
seem to have discovered thstto reach
the heart OF the Soldier. they must
first minister to his physical necessi.
'i-s. | believe they have returned
home.
Since we came back to Rolla. the
men of our regiment (the 18th Hi
pois) have ell been supplied with the
Fremont tent" one Of tho best
probably now in use" and our camp
presents much better and more
comfortable appearance than before.
We know nothing yet with regard
to our destination for the Winter; but
one thing We iervenlly hope and
pray for, that we may not got the
command TO march over the sam
ground whore we have been. The
hare possibility of it seems very dis
conraging TO the Soldiers, who eee:n
10 have taken great dislike to Mis-
souri. There are some things that
redeem this part of Missouri from
being barren wild. IL is threaded
Ivy beautiful etreams OF soit. purc
and sparkling water; its woods ar
filled with large quantities OF fruil
and nuts in their season. The
plumb, PAW paw, persimnon ard
grape. the hickory, pecan, bla, k
walnut and butternut. FOR game.
there are great numbers of deer and
will turkies; while in the clearings,
arplcs, pears. peaches and grapes
can be had in great abundance,
wherever the "lords OF creation are
not too indolent to plant treo. But
our men have made too long anC
tedious marches through these wild'
wsding these rivers in undross uni
form. and toiling up the sleeps fol
miles without coming in eight o. s
hOnse or an enemy, 10 wish for q
command to 90 over the same ground
again.
