QUINCY, Sept. %, l86l-About 7O0non COM
mlsslOned officers and privates of Col. Mulligan' 8
command arrived here from Lexington, Mo, by
the Quincy q ST Joseph railroad about o'clock
tins evening. The remainder amounting to about
! ,4Ou, will be here tomorrow and next day.
Col Mulllgan's force at Lexington, it is stated
by these soldiers, did not exceed twenty five hun
cred, including reverb companies of Missouri
home Guards The siege upon Mulligan en-
trenChments commenced on Thursday, the l2th
INST and was continued from day to day until
Friday last, at clock P. NJ. when the Union flat
W as hauled down by the Home Guards of Missouri
who had acted inetficiently and cowardly during
the whole siege.
Col. Mulligan refused to surrender. but beino
wounded In one of his legs at the time he could
not prevent it, As he had but five or six CHARGES
lett for his artillery and beng nearly out of sm-
munltion for his infantry and cavalry he could
have held out but little longer.
Col Thomas A. Marshall, of the cavalry is said
TO have acted most cowardly, though his men con.
Quoted themselves with great bravery and Gal.
lautry making several destructive charges u9on
the enemy.
After the surrender when the rebels approached
Col. Multgan, and demanded his sword, he refus-
ed to deliver 1t up, and they took it from him by
physical force.
Col. Mulligan and his regiment have covered
themselves with glory while somebody somewhere
is terribly guilty of great wrong for not having
him reinforced in time.
Col MulligaB and all the commissioned officers
are still held as prisoners.
