FROM PENSACOLA.

From the Warrington correspondence Of
the Pensacola O5server of the 28th, we have
the subjoined extracts:
The Wyandotte created some stir on
yesterday by her movements; she steamed
up and went out to the Sabine and St. Louis
oft the bar, the latter hoisted sail soon af.
terward; the Wyandotte returned, went up
to the Navy Yard: left there soon afterward
and proceeded to Pensacola. 1t appears
that provisions over at Fort Pickens are not
so very plentiful as was said to be the case.
Anderson's fate seems to be pursuing Slem-
lner.
Col. Clayton Of the Alabama regiment
formerly, now Of the Confederate States,
generously donated the man who los. his
arm, one hundred dollars.
A man was shot at the Redoubt last
night, in attempting to pass the sentry with.
out the countersign. lie died soon after

INTERESTING MEMORIAL OF MIR
MARCEY

l have seen to-day for the first time. ar
interesting relic of the late Secretary Marcy
1t is literary paper entitled "The Reveric'
written by him near Albany in 1929, lust
after his retirement from the office of Gov.
ernor of New York. The Governor repre-
scnts himselfin his study, rejecting on the
benefit of more systematic reading for the
improvement Of the leisure which he then
thought would then last for the remainder
of his life. He represents himselfa falling
into reverie, when the books in his library
with which he was familiar, undergo met
amorphosis and assumed the shape of their
authors, and each comes forward to greet
him and offer him their society.
The imaginary conversation which the
dreamer carries on in turn with his indus
trious old friends and poets, historians, DO
litical economists, philosophers. essayists,
dlv'nes an jurists, shows most nice and
discriminative appreciation of the great men
with whose minds, notwithstanding the
avocations of Office and politics, he for many
years held commerce. The style is per-
fectly Addisonian in plainness, simplicity
and delicate strokes Of humor. All the
principal poets, from Spencer to Byron, the
historians, from Tacitus to Robertson, the
essayists' from Bacon to johnson, 4 few
novelists, suchas Scott, Cervantes and lie
Sage, together with the classic French
authors, divines from DR.. South to Robt.
Hall, are characterised in very happy vein
Of criticism. Mr.. Marcy's posthumous
and papers are yoluminous,
and will, when published, possess quite a.
much interest for literary and general read
ers, as for the statesman and politician
In his diary, begun in 1883, observe 318
pages devoted to literary TOPICS notes on
authors read daily, and not 200 given to DO
litical, official, and miscellaneous matters. -

Farmers Bank at Lexington.

To put an end to all speculation on
the subject of the funds of the Far
mers' Bank of Lexington, No., we are
authorized to state, by gentleman
who was witness of the transaction,
and in whom we have entire conf
dence, that after the surrender of the
Federal troops at Lexington, the mon
ey committed to the charge of Multi.
gan, in the entertainments, was taken
by Gen. Price and Col. Mulligan, con-
veyed by their orders to the Bank,
and there, in their presence counted.
The whole sum, coin and bank notes,
was 100000, and this sum, except
SIS, 1000, in three packages of $1,000
each, was received. The $4,000 in
notes, it is conjectured, were stolen
by Federal Troops, about the time Of
the surrender, and when less strict
guard was kept. This idea is
strengthened by a report from Quincy,
that the soldiers, or some of them,
were well supplied with Farmers
Bank notes, and were offering them
at discount. However this may be,
the main fact of the deposit of all the
funds in Bank, settles the question OF
the soundness of that institution, and
all our Banks are receiving the notes
to-day.-St. Louis Republican.

Yours very truly,
ObStructing the Highway.

Mr.. EDITOR: Allow me to call the at.
tention of those interested, to the fact
that the fenced and travelled road,
some six miles below st. Charles, is
almost impossible for short distance.
1t has lately been plowed up-either
for crop, or to step trarel. Which is
it? If the legal road is not where it
has been fenced, worked and travelled
for some time past, cannot the owners
Of the land have little mercy upon
those who are obliged to haul their
produce over it, to get little money 2
Will not the citizens and authorities
of Floyd County try and find where
the best place is for the main road
along the Cedar River, and take the
necessary steps to have said road le-
gally established, at the earliest pos
sible period I? Your citizens owe this
to themselves and to the neighboring
counties. If they desire to divert
travel and business 10 your county in.
stead of driving it aaOay, they will
move at once in this matter.

From Washington.

1t is thought the rebels will make
an immediate attempt to cross the Po-
tomac both above and below Wash
ington. The prominent positions at
Munson's Hill, Falls Church, and Up
toms Hill have been suddenly evacua-
ted by the enemy and are now occu-
pied by our troops. The enemy are
in strong force at Leesburg. Their
army has been divided. One division
has taken position above Washington
and another below. 1t is thought by
some that the rebels are feigning a
retreat, as they did previous to the
battle Of Bull Run, with view of
drawing our troops into ambuscades.
The rebels have lined the right bank
Of the Potomac with batteries from
its mouth nearly to Washington, and
its navigation is consequently suspen-
ded. The Government will not permit
this state of things many days.

important from Missouri.

Gen. Fremont and Staff arrived at
Jefferson City on the Goth ult. Gen.
Price was at Lexington with large
force, preparing to march on Sedalia.
McCulloch is reported at Osceola with
10000 troops, marching north. He
and Price would have an army of
SO, 900 men, and it is believed they
will offer Fremont battle near George
town. Fremont's men are determined
on winning great victory.
Some of our prisoners released by
Price report that the rebels have q
large amount Of powder and ammuni.
ton buried in the vicinity of licking
ton, and that they have recently dug
up great deal. Two thousand rounds
of loaded shell were concealed by the
rebels in Mulligan's entertainments on
the day Of their surrender to him, and
he had no knowledge they were there.
Hence the determination to retake the
place. They report forty thousand
men at Lexington, and the number
daily increasing. Wagon loads of
provisions are constantly arriving.
Green's, Rains and Parsons troops
are represented as mere mob. Har-
ris has fine body Of troops, 1000
strong.
Gen. Fremont went Immediately in
to camp half mile from jefferson
City, where he would concentrate his
forces and hastily plan his attack.
McKinstry and Staff, Gen. Pope and
Totten's Battery arrived on the 30th.
1t is thought by some of the officers
at Jefferson City that the rebels in
tend to remain at Lexington and pre-
pare for the grand engagement there.
They say if Fremont can act quick
enough, he will cut off Prices chance
of escape and obtain brilliant vic
tory. ... ..... ....
Claib. Jackson and his Legislature
were at Lexington at latest dates.
On the 25th, they passed secession
ordinance, accepting the terms offered
by jeff. Davis to join the Southern
Confederacy. Their next bill was one
confiscating the property of all loyal
citizens.
Gen. Lane of Kansas lately had a
successful engagement with the rebels
at Popinsville, after which he made q
forced march on Osccola and succeed
ed in capturing large supply train
left there by Rains and Price. togeth-
er with 500, 900 in specie.
Generals Sigel and Davis have ar
rived at Georgetown, a few miles
north of Scdalia, the western terminus
Of the Pacific Railroad. There is no
rebel force there, or within striking
distance.
The number of men in Gen. FREE
mont's army cannot be accurately
stated. 1t is probably not far from
twenty thousand.
Gen. Fremont was received with
great enthusiasm all along the route
from St. Louis to jefferson CITY.
