sEDALIA, Dec. 6.-Our latest advices from

tant, where he has established his headauar-
ters. Gen. Rains's command removed at Os-
ceola.
A train of fifty wagons from Lexington, la

There are four rebel recruiting offices in

A meeting was held there on last Friday at

urging united effort IN behalf of the rebels.
Similar meetings have been held in Clay, Ray

money, clothing, etc., are In circulation.
II Is not perhaps generally known, but 1t lie
believed to be fact, that the County Court of |
Saline county, Claib. Jsckson's residence, in
July last authorized commissioners to raise one
hundred thousand dollars to be expended for the
benefit of Price's army. Other couuties along
The Missouri river are believed to be doing the
same thing.
1t Is stated on good authority that when
Price was besieging Lexington, delegation of
citizens was sent TO him from Saline county
with an urgent request that he would not allow
bis army to enter that county, which was com.
piled with. The reason of this request was be- |
cause Of the great dread entertained BY the In |
hsbitants of that county Of the plundering pro.
pensities Of Pfice's rebels. The counties along
the Missouri west Of Jefferson City, are the
richest in the State, and have furnished nearly
as many men and as much means in behalf Of
the rebellion as the balance of the State, which
have been almost entirely exempt from ma
rauders and have never been visited by Federal
