10 stop at Cincinnati and 20 into Kentucky,
while the other half are TO enter into 40.
tive operations in Missouri, and supply the
place Of Gen, Fremonfs army.
Information has been received here that
about three weeks ago q slave insurrection
was attempted in Jasper county, and that
about 85 Of the negroes were killed and a
number Of others we're TO be hanged.
The discovery OF the plot proved that the
insurTectiOn was wide spread, and that the
slaves intended TO murder their masters,
and perpetrate all manner of barbarities.
A report is current that 1000 rebels are
26 miles from Hermann, marching toWerds
the Gasconade river, with the intention OF
burning the railroad bridge across that
stream. These rebels are said TO be headed
by Mikel johnson.
It is Gen. FremOnts intention 10 follow
Price rapidly and continuously after leaving
S,'dalia. BE will march from 20 to 40 miles
day, according to the condition of the
road, and it neceg sary he will enter Arkan-

Information having been received here
that McCulloch's forces were on the south
bank of the Usage River a few days since
with the design Of cutting off FremOnts
communication with st. Louis, and then
marching on that city, strong and experienced
scouting parties have been sent out to seOur

FROM FORTRRss mONROE.

FORTRESS MONROE, Oct. Z.
The steamer Express met by agreement
this morning the rebel steamer Northum-
land with a Aag of truce, ~ miles above
Newport News, and brought down fifty
seven wounded prisoners who we're re-
leased yesterday from Richmond, captured
at Bull Run. They report there are about
5000 troops in Richmond; that the rebel
army on the Potomac is supposed to num-
ber over 10000, and that apprehensions
Of an attack on the seGboard cause the
greatest anxiety. Powerful batteries have
been erected along James river, in sntici-
patton of an advance of the Federal army
in that direction.
The ar aament has been removed from
the steamer jamestown. The prisoners
did not see the Yorktown.
The troops at Richmond are composed
Of North Carolinisns and Georgians. Gov.
Brown, Of Georgia, has recalled Eve regi-
ments to defend the State.
The rebel troops are suffering greatly
from the want Of medicines, clothing, and
certain kinds of food.
Articles cut off by the blockade we're
bringing fabulous prices.
The wounded prisoners were released for
the reason that their wants could not be
supplied. They have been obliged to sleep
on the floor during their Imprisonment.
Gen. Beauregard was at Manassas, and
JEFF. Davis returned to Richmond Saturday
in feeble he.Nlth.
Speculations were rife as to his successor.
Seventeen of the released prisoners who were
unable to goihome, have been sent. to the Old
Point Hospital.
