SPECIAL TO THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLICAN.

pied, and various division commanders
have lad interviews with him to-day

in his confidence to be excellent in every
particular and TO merit the approval of all
the military authorities to whom he has
exposed it. Since his arrival here, conf
dence in the Federal cause has greatly in
creased, and it is new believed that before
the end of the month Missouri will be
purged of her secession force. The Steamer

FROM SANDY HOOK

SANDY HOOK, Sept. so, On Thursday last,
Major Booei and Capt. Scriber OF the 18th
Massachusetts, and Major Mechanics of the
Special Service, went to HarPer's Ferry and
recovered two valuable bells belonging to
our Government, one of which weighed Is
200 and the other 900 pounds, together with
a fire engine, and other articles On the
same day, they arrested Mr.. Lagraw, who
had been engaged in robbing the . nionists
for the benefit of the rebels. Letters were
found on his person showing that he was in
constant communication with the rebel lead
ers. The officers conhscated his mules,
wagons and other articles. Four large piec-
es of ordnance which were recently recover
ed from Harper's Ferry, had been fitted up
in an ingenious manner by Capt. Scriber,
and frequently pay their respects to the en-
envy. The same officer has collected large
quantilaso of railroad spikes, which he wires
in suitable bundles and discharges them in
place of canister shot. He declares that
he can keep the whole rebel army from cross
ing here with these novel proiectiles.

| WASHINGTON G2d.-The Herald,s Special
says: Upon charges issued by Col. Blair,
Major General Fremont has been ordered to
report himself for trial by Court Martial.
| General Wool at Fort Monroe, has been
| ordered to supercede General Fremont in
the command of the Department of the West;
and General Mansfield left for Fort Monroe
this afternoon to supercede General Wool
Capt Drake DeKay, accompanies General
Mansfield and will continue as his aid. - =
General Wool, it is understood, has left
the Fortress and is on his way West. Cen
eral Fremont win proceed to this City at his
earliest convenience, leaving his forces in
command of another who is considered COM
petent to meet any foe that General Fremont
has been working against in person.
The defiant attitude of the rebels here
abouts has been abandoned and they are
now acting purely on the defensive. They
are manifestiy continually alarmed, fearing
an assault from some quarter where they are
most assailable. They cannot execute their
own programme of crossing the river and
fear an attack on their own TANKS. Their
position forms a crescent, reaching from
Occoquan Creek to point above Leesburg,
while the centre extends from Fairfax Court
House 10 Manassas Junction. A rise in the
river ABOVE, and the presence OF the Potomac
fotilla below, Washington precludes their
crossing. They are aware that we have
command of means to cross at any point
and turn either of their TANKS Their steps
backwards is considered here by army of
fcers as an Indication that they do not in
tend to offer battle on the Potomac.

FROM .TEFFERSON CITY. !


JEFFERSON Cry, Oct. S.-Price has left
Lexington with the main body of his
force, and is moving southwark for the pur-
pose of effectiDg juncture with McCui-
loch, after which he will give Fremont
battle. 1t is represented that Price is de-
cided upon this point, having been elated
and intoxicated by his victory at Lexing-
ton. He says that Price anticipates an
easy victory over Fremont at this point,
and will then move on st. Louis. There
were TO less than $4,000 secessionists
ready to raise and welcome him with arms
in their hands.
Dr. White thinks that the rebels will en-
deavor to get between us and the force at
GEORGETOWN aud surround and cut off Davis
and Sigel, and then meet Fremont near this
place The rebel force had nineteen field
pieces and are expecting rifle cannon from
the South. Gen. Price told the Doctor that
the Southern ConfederacY had loaned the
State of Missouri $1,000, 900 for the pur-
pose of carrying on the war against the
federal government -
The rebel troops are confident of victory,
aRd are clamorlng to be led against Free
mont. DR.. White gives a sorry statement
in regard to the conduct of the rebels to-
wards the wounded at Lexington. They
took away from him all his hospital stores,
not leaving him even a sponge.
A portion of Prices force had moved to-
wards Independence. There were but about
300 men in MartInsburg when the Doctor
passed through there. He thinks Prices
force numbers fully 10000.
SPECIAL To THE REPUBLICAN.
DIR. White says he heard on his way here
that ls, 600 rebels had parted from the main
body and marched towards Georgetown
with the intention of taking that place be-
fore reinforcements could reach there from
Jefferson City.
A miller from Georgetown yesterday
morning, says he was turned back by the
enemys pickets Il miles from that town.
The Doctor believes that the rebels have
no idea of quitting the State, but intend to
make a demonstration in vast numbers
upon Georgetown, Jefferson City, and st.
Louis, and that they are perfectly confident
of their ability to take them.
No immediate attack is feared on George
town, as our men are prepared to meet the
foe.
An officer here, formerly of Mulligan's
Irish brigade, who left the vicinity of Lex
ington Monday evening, places no conf
dence in the truth of the above This Off
Ger says at the time he left not more than
10000 rebels had quilted Lexington, and
that nothing reliable was known as to what
policy Price had concluded to pursue.
Boonville and Glasgow were quiet at the
latest advices. Our troops are alert for a
fight. Many persons think there will be no
general engagement since the reported
evacuation of Lexington, but others think
he will very soon strike a blow where be
is least expected, and that the prospects of
battle are now increased rather than di-
minished.

JEFFERSON Cry, Oct. ga special de-
spatch to the st. Louis Democrat, states
that gentlemen who have arrived this ev-
ening from Sedalia, confirm the reports of
| the evacuation OF lexington, by the rebels,
and also bring intelligence of the probable
occupation of that place by Gen. Sturgis's
command.
Major Baker of the Home Guards, who
was among the prisoners taken at Lexing-
ton, and who refused to give his parole es-
capped from the rebels Monday night and
arrived at Sedalia this morning. He says
all the Gonfederates left Lexington Monday
afternoon, and that their rear guard, as it
left the city, was fired upon with shells by
Sturgis, who just then appeared on the OPP
posite side of the river. Several were
wounded by the shells. When they first
left Lexington, Major Baker thinks it was
the intention of Price to march direct on.
Georgetown, but information having been
brought to him, that Gen. Sigel was adj
Vancing with 10000 men he moved west
ward, towards Independence. Whether
the main body of the rebels pursued this
route any distance, Major Baker is una
ware, as during the confusion among the
rebels upon the reception of the news of
tho large force of SIgel, and the reported
pursuit of StHrgis in the rear, be escaped.
Baker thinks Prices effective force num-
bers about $4,000, in addition to which he
has some 5000 irregular troops, whose
principal occupation is foraging. But this
portion of the army had pretty much left
the main body before Major Baker escaped.
Gen. Sigel who is in command of our
advance guard, had all his preparations
made for an attack last night, and had the
enemy made his appearance, he would have
met with a warm reception. Our forces
west Of here are stationed at OtterviIle, Sc
dalia, and Georgetown. The distance from
Ottersville to Sedalia is IL miles, and from
Sedalia to Georgetown, four miles. We
have also something of a force under Gen.
Pope, at Boonville, only 25 miles northeast
of Sedalia.

FROM BALTIMORE.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 3.-Passengers by the
boat which arrived this morning from Old
Point report that Gen. Wool addressed the
prisoners at the Rip Raps, who had been
sent there by Gen. Mcclellan en- route for
Tortugas. He told them that had McClel-
Ian shot them on the spot for rebellion in
face of the enemy, be would have been per
fectly justified. He had, however, propo-
sition to make to them. All who were
willing to place themselves in his hands,
should step forward three PAGES. Those
who refused would proceed to Tortugas.-
The entire $50 stepped forward with
cheers, and many were so affected that they
shed tears of Joy.
