WAR IN MISSOURI.

J?terson City, Oct 7.-[Special to the St.
Louis Democrat. Little doubt is entertained
here that General Price is on his way South
with the main body of his army. The force
reported to be making demonstrations near
Georgetown and Sedalia, being merely de-
lochment for that purpose.
When last heard from, General Prices ad.
vance guard was at Clinton, in Henry county.
1t is supposed Price will push to the Kansas
line.
General Frement will follow him closely,
and give him battle wherever he ca u find him.
A force ofbelween three aud four thousand
fabel cavalry were seen near Upton to dsy,
whose object is presumed to be to get between
our advance and this place, and fall upon some
stray regiment or transportation train going
out.
A scout fr"m Linn Creek reports the proba.
h'e death of tho notorious Rebel leader, Rev.
Miskel Johnson, VIII, while moving some of
Dupont q Co.'S powder, on Friday night, was
dangerously wounded, by ths explosion of one
of the kegs.
Gen. Fremont and STAFF will probably leave
for Sedalia, to morrow.
1t seems to be the beIiefin military circles
here, that General Price will avoid battle
with Fremont if possible; but others entertain
the opinion that he intends a surprise upou
some point the least protected, and that We
shall have fight in few days.

frcm a similar fate, the Journal Of Commerce
curtailed its dimensions, and SO lid the DaiIv
