IMPORTANT FROM sPRINeFIELD-SEN HUNTER ON
THE coNrRABANp QuRsTIoN-PRIcE STILL AT
cAssvIILE-HIs ARMY WILL RETREAT on SCAT
TER II HuNrER ADVANCES.
SPRINsFIELn, Mo, Nov. S.-The following 10 a
special TO the st. Louis Democrat:
"Gen. Hunter has not Yet put into effect any
decided measures for the conduct Of the campaign
but am Informed he win adopt plans entirely
different from those Of Gen. Fremont.
Colonel Merrill was sent out on q reconnois-
"a nee Yesterday with 400 cavalry and a section
of artillery, and explored the country around
Wilson's Greek, but discovered no enemy, their
advance having left for the South on Sunday
The main body Of the rebels In supposed to be
still In the vicinity Of Caaville. General Hunter
has little faith at present IN their having design
OF attacking us. He will, however, in a few
days have such reliable information Of their
numbers and position, &C., as 70 decide his
future course. The troops are now as apparently
their new commander the better are they salts
ned with him This feeling is also strengthened
by the high opinions entertained Of Gen. Hunter
by all the old reg ular army officers.
The reports that officers, many companies and
regiments threw down their arms upon the an
nouncement Of the removal Of Gen. Fremont can
not be traced to any reliable sources
Gen. Hunters position on the Hcontrab andp
question Is understood to be as follows:
All negroes coming into camp will be retained
and such Of them az are proved the property Of
Union men will be appraised and receiPted for,
to be paid when and how Congress may see At.
Gen Ashboth has concluded 70 remain in CON-
mand of his division.
Col. Albert, Acting Brigadier General, will also
remain, and several other foreign officers, who at
first decided to leave, will remain.
Marcus J. Parrot, Of Kansas, has been ap-
pointed on General Hunters staff.
The cannonading at Sarcoxie, some days since,
Is said to have been salute in honor of some act
passed by the Rebel Legislature, assembled at
that place.
LATER.
SPRINGFIELD, Nov. 6-According TO informa-
ton received by Gen. Hunter IL is now said that
Gen. Price has no intention of attacking us, and
II pursued still further by us he will scatter his
army or retreat TO Fort Smith, and await devel-
opponents on the Potomac and in Kentucky.
1t Is very doubtful whether any further advance
OF our main army will be made, but further in
teligence Of the number and position of the rebels
may change this policy.
Gen. siegel has been appointed commandant Of
this post.
Gen. Hunter spent part Of yesterday In visiting
the various camps and examining into the gen.
ernl condition Of the army, and day he has
gone on a reconnaissance south with bis BODY
guard, 400 infantry, battery, and several COM
panies of cavalry
Brig. Gen. Sturgis has been appointed chief Of
the staff and Of the cavalry in Hunters division.

FORTRESS MONROE, Nov. lOth.-The 8. n.
Spauldng arrived from Hstteras Inlet this morn
ing with the 10th Indiana Regiment. A desertsr
who reached the Inlet in a small boat stated that
news had been received on the main land Of the
taking Of two Confederate forts at Port Royal,
and the landing Of large Federal force. Beau
fort had also been taken by our troops.
No particulars have arrived, but the main CT
corresponds with news received few hours since
from Norfolk by dag Of truce. Great excite
ment prevailed on arrival Of the news at Norfolk.
From the same source we have rumor that the
railroad above Beaufort has fallen into the pos
session Of our troops, with an immense quantity
cf stores.
Five deserters who reached Newport News this
morning, state that the rebels up James river are
In conservation, and also bring an improbable
rumor that our troops had advanced up the rail-
road az far AZ Charleston.
The French frlgate Calabria was burnt 10 the
waters edge on Friday night, Of Hatterss. All
hands were saved.
Just arrived from the blockade OF Beaufort, N.
c., the following The Captain ofthe U. =. Gun
boat AIbatross, reports that he discovered the
Union ashore on the sixth instant, about eight
miles to the eastward OF Bogue inlet, hut in con-
sequence Of the heavy weather had no communi-
cation with the shore until the following day,
when she landed with flag Of truce and learned
from the Captain Of a Confederate company tie
following particulars:
The Union went ashore or rather was run ashore
in a sinking condition, on the LIST inst, and soon
after broke in two In front Of the smoke stack.
The crew, 70 In number, and fifteen horses, were
saved. The men are prisoners at Fort Macon and
Raleigh, N. c. A large quantity Of stores was
seen piled upon the beach.
At the time Of the disaster the Winfield Scott
was in company with the Union, and the captain
Of the latter expressed the opinion that his conso
was loSt-she having suddenly disappeared.
Nothing is known concerning the rumored loss
Of the Ocean Express.
There are rumors Of three Federal vessels having
gone ashore.
An officer Of the 10Th Indiana regiment, who
came from Hatteras Inlet, arrived here In the Old
Point boat He says be had q long conversation
with the party who brought news TO Hatteras In
let. He was not deserter, but private ciuIen'
and man Of considerable intelligence, who bad
crossed the sound at the risk Of his life 10 bring
news e. the Federal troops' officers
The report Of the conversation corresponds pre-
cisely with what has already been sent. Outside
Of this statement there 10 a report that In taking
Beaufort large part Of the town was burnt.

OLD PoINT, Nov. IO-ltelegraphed from Bslti-
more this (Ilth) forenoon l-Editor Of the STAY
In the course OF to-day we have accounts from he
feet and Sherman's invading army from three
sources From Hatieras Inlet via deserters 10 our
force there; from Norfolk by those coming with
the days Gag ofuuce; and also through two de-
serters who came to our camp at Newport News.
They all agree upon some important points.
First, in saying that the Union troops had effect
ed landing. Next, that the two forts at Port
Royal had been taken by our brave Navys work.
Next, that Beaufort 10 in our hands. Next again,
the railroad communication between Charles
ton and Savannah. And last, that the most
intense excitement exists in Georgia, North
and South Carolina and Virginia, over the belief
that Gen Sherman is Fastening to Charleston
but so miles from Besufort-by forced marches.
All but the last story are, in all probability
true. IL was Of immense importance to the sue
cess Of the expedition 70 destroy the series OF
four or five large railroad bridges situated within
twenty miles Of Beaufort, in different directions.
With those destroyed by dashes, gap Of quite
twenty miles can be made in the railroad CON-
munIcation between Charleston and Ssyannah-s
the country for that twenty miles 10 pretty much
swamp. The Confeds will be terribly bothered
to send troops through It to attack the works Gen.
Sherman's main force 10 doubles rapidly build
ing on Port Royal Island.
NV belief is that the enemy have mistaken the
marching of perhaps three detschments to burn
the bridges and to fall back on Beaufort quickly,
for general advance Of sherman's army in three
divisions on Charleston.
The steamer is just about to start-so1 must
close here
