Especial Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune
ST. LOUIS, August Is, 1862.
This city Is somewhat excited to-day by re-
ports Of another fight, in which our troops
have been severely defeated, near Lexington.
Last nights train from sedalia brought seve-
ra1 parties to town who are full of pretended
news giving details of the fight All infor-
nation ut headquarters is denied, and an at
tempt has been made to hush up the matter.
a dispatch arrived yesterday for the associa-
ted press, giving few particulars, but before
1t was delivered an order was received from
Gen. Totten, at Jefferson City, to suppress It.
From various sources, however, it has trans-
PRED that the fight took place west OF War
rensburgh, in johnson county, and that Ia que
Enla force attacked Union troops, [chiehy
State militia,) one-slxth their OWL number,
and after a brief fight whipped them. The
Union commander was Major Emory B. Fos-
ter, who is MORALLY wounded. He lost 800
men In killed, wounded and missing, and it is
said inflicted loss Of 500 on the rebels. The
worst part of the affair Is thst We lost four
pieces Of artillery belonging to an Indiana
battery. These are all the particulars known
at the present moment, The military autho-
rites have promised to make public the full
details in time for to-morrow's papers, and In
the meanwhile the city is full ofrumors about
the taking Of Lexington As fat contradic-
tion to these reports, 1t is only necessary tc
state asimple fact: Communication with Lex
ington By telegraph is uninterrupted; and dis
patches have been received from that point
this morning.
It is singular evidence Of the gradual
change that has been going on in the minds Of
men during the past year, that the emancipa-
ton Of twenty-five negeoes belonging to &C.
tive rebels has scarcely excited a passing re-
mark even from those who one year ago
5ercely denounced the proclamation Of Gen.
Fremont. The negroes were quietly seized,
brought to town with their masters, detained
one night and freed. One Of the masters has
been released on giving bond for SIC, 600 to
deport himself as loyal citizen for one year.
The other remains In the military prison. The
provost marshal general in the exercise Of
these functions has simply performed his duty
as laid down by the confscation act What q
