--Speculation is again on foot on the subject of the rumored appointment of a General to rank Price and McCulloch for the District of Missouri and Arkansas. The report of the intention of the Pret had abandoned the idea of this appointment, if he had ever entertained it. The rumor that Price was to be ranked by a young Confederate officer, just promoted, traveled on the wings of the winpapers received at this office, excited one universal bust of disapprobation.

Price, with 15,000 troops, marched on the 26th November into Kansas, which will be the field of his future operations. The country between exington and Independence is nearly deserted, in consequence of the men joining Price's army.--Gen.

orted to Gen. Wallace, he sent his Aid-de-Camp, with a squad of men, to order the traitorous flag to be taken in, and if Woolfolk refused, then to take it in and erect the stars and stripes over his house. Woolfolk knowing that General Smith was senior officer, refused to obey Gen. Wallace's orders, whereupon Wallace's Aid forcibly took down the rebel flag and hoisted the stars and stripes in its stead. In the meantime Woolfolk having appealed to Gen.

Gen. Paine sent Wallace assurance of his co-operation. As Gen.
