counties along the Missouri are believed to
have done the same thing.
1t is stated on good authority that when
Price was besciging Lexington de!egn-
ton of citizens was sent TO him from Saline
county, with an urgent request that he
should not allow his army to enter that
county, which was complied with. The
reason for this request was the dread en-.

The counties on the Missouri river west
of Jefferson City are the richest in the
State, and have furnished AS many men
and as much means in behalf OF the rebel
lion as the balance of the State, while they
have been almost entirely exempt from
maranders, and have been rarely visited by
Federal troops.
