From Missouri.

JEFFERSON CRY, Sept. 25.-The train
that went west from here last night with
the Illinois 35th aud Brig. Gen. Davis and
7 staff aboard, stopped at Ottenville to-day,
( passing over the LHmine bridge.
/ The road now is in good running order
to Selalia. The next train with troops
will probably go through to that point.
There are now along the road, Mt and
West of Syracuse, the Indiana 3lst, Mis-
souri, I'd, Nebraska LIST, the larger portion
of Col Eads' Missouri regiment, and $50
men of Col. Bissel's Pioneer regiment.
At and near bonneville there are the
Iowa 9th. Indiana 18th, 22nI and 2eth,
Capt. Richardson's battery and Mai. Epp-
STEMS Home Guards.
Matters are represented as quiet in the
neighborhood of these forces. West of
them the Secessionists are rising, and
Prices forces in few days will doubtless
be augmented TO thirty or forty Thousand.
Nothing from Lexington To-day. The
secessionists say their loss there was tti-
fling.
Maj. Gen. Hunter arrived here to ,dNy;--
Gen. Siegel will arrive tonight.
Sr. LOUIS, Sept. 25.-Lieut. Harris. of
Col. Murshall's Illinois Cavalry, who was
in the battle of Lexington, hHs arrived
here. He states that he disguised himself
in uniform of the enemy, after the sur
render; and passed through their lines, es-
Gaping without taking the obligation. BE
reports that n large amount of gold
cannon, 1900 rifles aud muskets, tile
equipments of Marshall's and Mulligauis
regiments, number Ofwagdnsnnd eoii-
siderable quantity of provisions, fell into
the hands of the rebels. There were but
1900 engaged on our side, the balance be-
lug sick or absent The enemy,s force is
stated at 1000 engaged, and 10000 out on
marrudiug expeditions.
The surrender was made against the
strongest protest of Col. Mulligan, who
proposed to attack the enemy with u
bayonet, and die with arms in their hands.
The meu were willing to follow him, but
were SO exhausted they could have made
but u feeble resistance.
On Wednesday, the 18th, Price, having
been reinforced by Green and Hurts,
commenced most determined seige. Tie
fight lasted from 0 o'clock on Wednesday,
A. ~, till 4 O'clock on Friday, p. N !, dur
ing which time the fighting was so inces-
SAINT, our men had neither time to eat or
sleep, and water was very scarce. The
enemy erected breastworks of hemp bales,
and fired upon the Federal garrison from
tree tops, hillsides and roofs of houses
Several charges were made by the rebels,
each of which were repulsed with consid-
cradle loss.
In the struggle on Wednesday, for the
possession of the ferry bouts, two of our
cannon were captured, but were retaken
after II severe straggle.
The report from Quincy to the Chicago
Tribune, that Siegel had attacked Price at
Lexington, is utterly false. Siegel has
been here (St. LOUSY several weeks, and
Gen. Hunter reached Jefferson City today,
from Rolla.

amusing incident occurred on the cars of
the Hemp6eld Railroad GU Wednesday last,
between this city aud Washington. a
young fellow with his girl got on the train
aud when the train emerged from the first
tunnel through which it passed afterwards,
tue young damsel,s bouaet, collar and 9th
er iriugs were observed by most of tue
passengers to have been mysteriOusly dis
arranged, while the damsel herself was all
GlasLss aud confusion. When the train
entered the next tunnel wag who sat i'm
nlediately behind the couple made sort
Of a noise with his lips us if iudulging in
an osculant, at which the passengers all
laughed and when the car came out into
the light of day the innocent couple (whO
had the second tiuic sat rs far apart as
possible in order to avoid the confusion of
the FIRST scene) were the observed of all
observers. The confused pair looked as
il they were ready to Jump from the car,
while the cruel cause of their cmbarrass-
meut cody enjoyed their notification.
