POSITION OF LEXINGTON.

POSITION OF lEAlNulON'
The painful suspense attending the anxiety
for news from Lexington, Mo- is greatly en-,
HANGED by consideration Of the size and
wealth OF the place, and its Importance as
strategic point. This population OF Lexington
and vicinity was made up of the best class OF
the early emigrants from Kentucky to NILSSON
RI is generally wealthy, and probably more
refined than that of any other sectioh OF Tue
state, excepting ST. Louis Inc early settlers
in that region were attracted by the similarity
of much Of the country to that Eden OF Ken
tuckians about Lexington, Kentucky, anu tfey
not only made their selections OF land accord
ing to the standard of old Fayette, but carried
the analogy to the naming of the country ana
the principal town of their location IN Missouri
The city, containing now probably lZ'ouO m
habitants, is situated on a high rocky olnll,
which there has its course ON the soUth sue Oh
the Missouri River and which slopes almost
precipilously directly down to the bed OF the
river, making a very steep ascent from tne
landing up into The city. From the rear OF the
city the land rccedcs slightly in alternate sue
cessions of beautiful prairie and choice timber,
and is well occupied by finely cultivated farms
yielding a first rate support TO tins hitherto
thriving place. The surrender OF the CITY,
with its beautiful residences, to the wanton
deyiry OF the secessionists, would be a serl-
GUS calamity. 1t is a prize which has doubt
less stimulated the rebels TO their most desper-
ate efforts to obtain; but ere this they nave,
we trust. found that their precious stake is lost
to them forever

THE APPROACHING FAST The national
fast occurs on Thursday next, in accordance
With the recommendation of congress and the
appointment of the president. There is a
very general desire of the people in this vicin.
ity that The day should be observed, in the
spirit in which it has been appointed, by the
cessation Of their usual employments, and by
such public manifestations of respect and
solemnitvv as the occasion requires. The city
government, last evening, took appropriate
notice of the subject, and made recommends
lion which a great part of the business com.
munity are DESTROYS to follow. 1t is suggested
that some common purpose should be agreed
upon, in order that the occasion may be open
to all classes, Catholic and Protestant, Gentle
and jew, to when the day and its duties are
alike commended.

Between 10 and II o'clock Sunday night the
police OF the twenty-t}ird precinct, under Cap
tain De Camp, discovered that most dlaboll-
cal attempt had been made to destroy the train
due at II O'Clock from Albany, on the Hudson
River Railroad, between 1924 and ll0th SITS.
1t appears that stones Of every description,
many OF which were heavy rocks, we're found
piled up in the inside tracks, extending over
sixteen blocks in length. Some Of them 1t
must have taken at least half dozen persons
to place on the track. The discovery was first
made by one of the officers whose duty 1t was
to patrol portion OF the tack. tie was una
bic to discover any parties on the hack or
III the vicinity, but Immediately sent word TO
the station house. when posse OF police
were dispatched to clear the track. The facts
were also communicated 10 the police head
quarters, when Inspector Leonard ordered a
stricter search to be made, in order to, if pos
sibe, ferret out the wretches who had commit
ted the daring act About week ago rail
was discovered strapped across the track in
the same vicinity, but fortunately was removed
before any train came along. The tram due
last night is said to be Il special train from
Albany, with regiment from the central part
of the state. Had the above discovery not
been made in time there is certainty that
the entire train would have been thrown of,
attended with great loss OF life. l+e tram
which the trap had been set tor consisted OF
some twenty-five cars, and, as is usual at the
above point, would have been coming under
pretty heavy speed
Who the Williams were that could have done
the work no clue could be had up to a late
hour last night. 1t was reported that it was
no doubt done by certain men who hold an
luminosity against the company, some OF whom
have been dismissed from the service of the
company while, on the other hand, it is
charged with being the work of band of Sc
cessionists. That there is such band of
spies and traitors among us there is no deny
ing the fact, and it is hoped that the police will
not leave stone unturned until til Sc rebel
traitors are scared and placed where they can
do no further damage.
1t seems strange thet so vast an amount of
rocks, &c, could be placed upon the track
without some of the parties being discovered.
The only clue that could be had was from
small boy, who stated that he ohsereed two
men carrying cobble stones down 1l0lh street.
1t took the police nearly an hour to remove
the stones, and the train is said to have come
through in safety
