rom the columns of the New York Herald, of the 7th, we extract the following in regard to the progress of the war in Missouri: The forces of Gens. Fremont and Price--Fremont Preparing for battle. Springfield, Mo., Nov. 2. --A special dispatch to the St. Louis Republican says: Reliable information has been received here from different sources that Gen Price was at Cassville on Thursday last, with 25,000 men, and that Ben. McCulloch was ten miles this side of that place, with 10,000 more, with the intention of marching on Springfield and offering battle on the old Wilson's Creek grounds. McCulloch was expecting 10,000 additional troops from Arkansas. Large numbers of the residents of Green, Jasper, and other adjoining counties, recently joined Gen. Price's army, and many of our officers think that the rebel force now numbers nearly 60,000 men. Gen. Fremont has been up nearly the whole of the past five nights, making the most perfect arrangements for a battle,

Gen. Price. --From all parts of the Confederacy we hear a unanimous tribute to the illustrious services rendered by Gen. Price in Missouri. He is one of those Generals who comprehends the genius of revolution and the spirit and temper of volunGen. Price in Missouri. He is one of those Generals who comprehends the genius of revolution and the spirit and temper of volunteer troops. He has not restrained the enthusiasm of the volunteer, and yet has guided. directed and impolite it in the most prudent as well as efficient manner. In all Missouri his name is a tower of strength to his friends and of terror to his eoping fortunes of Missouri from the dust, and given her the promise of eventual disenthralled from her cruel oppressors Gen. Price is evidently the right man in the right place, and, if permitted to go on as he has begun, will add new triumphs to then, will add new triumphs to the Confederate cause and fresh laurels to his own honored name. We trust the day is not far distant when even St. Louis will be rescued from the fangs of Lincolndom; and if there is any man who can do it, it is Price.

ment. We passed around the place and crossed the Nashville and Murfreesboro' pike to Smyrna, where we tore up the railroad track and out the telegraph wire; attacked a battery and received a dispatch that was being transmitted to Col. S Maturews, commanding at Nashville, relative to our being in the vicinity, and the cavalry that had been sent in pursuit of us. Col. Morgan answered it in Col. Mathews' name, and ordered the cavalry to Shelbyville, saying that it was about to be attacked by Gen Price. We arrived at Lebanon at night on the 4th, the men and horses being greatly fatigued, and considered that we had eluded pursuit for the present. At dawn, on the 5th, our pickets were driven in, and before our men could get to horse, the enemy was upon us in overwhelming numbers. Col. Morgan and Lieut Col. Wood, (of West Adams's regiment,) after most desperate efforts, succeeded in getting the men collected and the most desperate fighting ensued that is on record, but all or no avai

The Trans-Mississippi country. A surgeon attached to Harrison's regiment, and recently direct from the Trans-Mississippi region furnishes some very interesting intelligence from that section. He brings flattering accounts of the improving condition of affairs in Missouri and Arkansas. The people of the former State are in great numbers hastening to the standard of Gen Price, and are represented to be well supplied with arms cannon, and other munitions of war. The Union families of Missouri are stated to be leaving the State leaving their growing crops — and the Southern families are sending their husbands and sons to the army, and all come forward and voluntarily take the oath of allegiance to the Confederacy. The wheat crop in Arkansas is being harvested, and a finer one was never seen.--Corn is 25 cents a bushel, and flour $3 per 100 pound, in Missouri. The disaffected troops of Hindman's command were returning to the ranks under Price From one county alone the narrator

affairs in the trans-Mississippi Department, written before the report of Steele's surrender to Price: If our intelligence from the West be true, and we have no reason the doubt it, Gens Smith and Price are doing their work up nobly on the west side of the Mississippi river. The campaign of Banks in Louisiana has proved a complete failure, and he is represented as having been driven on te for Lincoln to supply Banks with a new force sufficiently strong to renew the campaign. Gen Price, too, since he has been relieved of the Incubus of Gen Holmes, is beginning to loom up, and wiremain long in Little Rock, even if he should get there.--Now that the work has commenced, and Gen. Price has his face once more set towards the North, we may rest assured he will not remain idle. Hiisiana. Magruder has little or nothing to contend with in Texas, and we may rest assured that Gen.
