R- The civil war is giving most re-
1narkable and unexpected stimulus to the
overland emigration to California and Or
egon. The plains are swarming With car
avans of emigrants from Missouri, Ten
nessee, and kentucky, all destined for the
PACIFIC past. Should the war last for a
couplesof years, it would doubtless lead to
very important transfers of population.
The actual seat of the war, as well as all
the border States likely to be affected by
the conflict, would suffer severely in he
emigration of its quiet and industrious
families, who would remove TO more peace
full settlements in the West and North
The Pacific coast will undoubtedly gain
largely, as its industry is not affected, and
it offers better inducements to the thrifty
and enterprising than any other section
of the country.

horses were killed in the stampede and
several men were more or less injured
The reason of the stampede is said to be
that the horses were too closely confined.

When Doctors Disagree, who shall
Decide!

A despatch dated Washington on the
14th inst, says that President LIScoLN
has transmitted letters to Gen. Fremont,
bearing date the 10Th, on the subject of
Gen. FREMoST's recent Proclamation free
ing slaves in Missouri The President
says:
"Assuming that you being on the
ground could better Judge of the necessi>
ties of your position than l could at this
distance on seeing your proclamation of
the Both August, | see no general oljec
ton TO it, the particular objection being
the clause relative to the confiscation and
liberation of slaves, being Objectionable for
its non conformity to an act of Congress
passed on the S;h Of last August.
81 wrote you expressing wish that
this clause should be modified. Your
answer expresses preference that should
make an open order for this modification.
which cheerfully do 1t is therefore
ordered that said clause be modified, held
and construed to confirm. and not trans
cend provisions contained in the act Of
Congress entitled an act 20 confiscate pro
perry used for ipsurrectionary purposes,
and that said act be published at length
with this order"
This makes an essential difference
FEkMosT's plan was that Of general eman
cipation Of all slaves owned BY secession
masters. President LINCOLN would only
confscaie such property of the rebels
including slsves-as is unawfully used by
them against the government--in confor>
nifty with the law passed by Congress at
its late session When two such distin-
guished Republican Doctors as LINCOLN
and Fremont disagree on the Niger ques-
lion, We hope no Democrat will interfere.

Hudson, Mo-, Sept %.
The following account of the seige of
Lexington. is furnished to the St. Louis
Republican, by Henery Bradburn, one of
Col. MuIigan's soldiers who left Lexrg
ten Saturday morning:
The fort was surrendered on Friday af
terDoon. The men fought for iftv-nine
hours without water, and had only three
bbls. vinegar to quench their thirst during
all that time.
There were no springs or wells of water
in the camp ground as has been stated
The supply was from the river. and was
cut off, after desperate fight, on Wed>
nesday. The camp ground consisted of
about ten acres, and WAS located short
distance from the rear. There were breast
works entirely around it, with the excep-
ton of a portion next to the river 1t VIA.
here the hardes! fighting took place, and
the rebels procured large number of
hemp bales, rolled them in advance, and
under their cover gradually succeed in Sc
curing position in the rear. They then
cut off the supply of water, and had the
fort completely surrounded
They made but few charges upon the
breastworks during the entire sege Their
object seemed to be to surround the fort
and cut off the suppl y Of water, and having
succeeded in this, they awaited unit. Col.
Mulligan was compelled to yield to foe
more terrible than the q 900 Rebels who
surrounded him.
Previous to his surrender. he offered to
take position on a level spot of ground
and to give Gen. Price the odds of four to
one in fair and open fight but no atten-
ton was paid to it. After the surrender,
the rebels mounted the breastworks, and
seemed mad with JOY, As soon as the
surrender took place, party took down
the Federal flag and trampled it in the dust
An immense amount of gold, supposed
to be about quarter of million fell into
the possession of the rebels. 1t was taken
from the banks and buried by Colonel
MuIligan on the camp ground some time
ago. The rebels speedily unearthed it.
Col N, wept like child when be found
himself compelled to surrender. The
morning after the surrender the men were
all released on parole, and ferried across
the river; the officers were retained. The
loss of the rebels is not known. but it is
thought to be not less than 1000 killed
and wounded. Their first attack proved
more disastrous to them than the lone
siege which followed For an hour or two
previous to the last attack they were en-
gagged in burying their dead.
