lists spoke, urging a united effort in behalf
Of the rebels. Similar meetings have been
held in Clay, Ray, and other river counties.
and subscriptions for money, clothing, &c,
are in circulation.
1t is not, perhaps, generally known. but
it is believed TO be fact that the court OF
Saline County, Clai5. Jackson's residence,
in july last, authorized Commissioners to
raise 100000 to be expended for the ben =
eft of Prices army. Other counties along
the Missouri River are believed to have
done the same thing.
1t is stated on good authority that. when
Price was besieging Lexington, deIega
ton 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 complied with. The
reason oftbis request was because Of the
great dread entertained by the Inhabitants
ct that county of the Piundering propensi-
ties Of Prices army.
The countries al ,ng the Missouri. west
of Jefferson City, are the richest in the
Suite, and have furnished nearly as many

lion. as the balance Of the State, while they
have been almost entirely EXEMPT from
marauders, ard have rarely been yisited bv
Feeeral troops.
