A special dispatch, under date of tho 9Th,
from Jefferson City to tho Missouri RepaJiican,
says;
Prices amy, it is reported, made forced
marches for several days after leaving Lexing-
ton, but it is probable they will now move
more lei,uI,ly, though they can 70 reat with
teltriiy, as there is a good road from the vicin-
ty Of Clinton, in Henry county, to Arkansas.
General Thomas l.. Price thinks Frenont's
army, il properly managed would create great
terror among the rebels in Ark tnsas, and cause
a general stampede; that Ffemonis policy
should be, and no doubt il, TO follow them up
wherever they go, and that, with his abundant
artillery, he can overcome all opposition and
trive his foes into Red river.
Ii il thought that Price will cross the Usage
at lloliman's Ferry and that he will have
reached the Arkansa' line by Thursday next.
Various persons who have arrived here repre-
sent that Prices forces number at least 10, 90,
and soldier, who saw the entire fight at Lex
irgion, says re is positive the rcb,l loss there
could not have been less THAI | 900 in
single charge they lost fully 200 men.
Many Of the Missourians think, If the federal
forces are withdrawn from the state, that the
Home Guards, provided they are properly arm
ed, can prevent the rebels from their deprcdi-
tiors hereafter; that the Unionist' are now
thoroughly aroused, and are willing and able TO
protect themselves.
The commander at jefferson City thinks the
capture 4 Lexington ard its evacuation ind
cate very lad generalship, und that the latter
movement, IA, had very unfavorab!e influence
on his cause and his followers.
