nt, is about 80. The Home Guard appears to have come out strong. They captured and brought back Major White, who was a prisoner, and the 14 rebels who were taking him to General Price's camp. Last night about 20 of them charged on Lieutenant-Colonel John H. Price, and 12 other rebels, killing one of them, twelve miles south of here, and brought all the rest on, and they are now prisoners in our camp. The rear divisions of our army are coming up to us by forced marches. Gens. Pope and Hunter's commands are expected here this evening, and General McKinstry's to-morrow. All of our troops are in the best spirits and full of enthusiasm. Gen. Fremont has taken possession of the flouring mill in this county, and is rapidly gathering supplies for the army. Gen. Price is near the Arkansas line. It is doubtful whether he will give us battle. The rebel officers thought that the body guard that made the attack was 2,500 strong, and on their retreat swore at the men as a

Arrival of Fremont at St. Louis — his Successor in command. Cleveland, Ohio Nov. 7. --Gen. Fremont has arrived in St. Louis. Gen. Hunter published an order at Springfield, on the 5th inst., assuming the command of the army. The Germans appear much dissatisfied at the change in the commanders.

nfederate States. The Provisional Congress still holds its sessions with closed doors, and we are unable to furnish our readers with any detail of the proceedings.

R. M. T. Hunter, for this Government, and the Commissioners for Missouri. On yesterday, we understand, that Congress passed a law admitting Missouri into the Confederacy.

The retreat of Hunter's command. --The St. Louis Evening News, of the 22d inst. alludes to the retreat of Hunter's army northward as follows: Of course it is understood that the evacuation of Springfield gives up the entire Southwest, for the time, to the enemy. It is to be regretted that the Union men in that region should thus be exposed to persecution by their foes, or be compelled to abandon their homes to avoid such persecution; but this cannot be helped at present.

It is to be regretted that the Union men in that region should thus be exposed to persecution by their foes, or be compelled to abandon their homes to avoid such persecution; but this cannot be helped at present. There is nothing in the strategic positions or resources of the Southwest to justify the stationing of an army of 40,000 men at Springfield to hold it. This army can be used more efficiently and advantageously in another quarter; and perhaps it will not be long before it becomes evident that this army can more effectually protect even the Southwest by striking the enemy at another point, and thus forcing Price and McCulloch to abandon their present position and march to Eastern Arkansas.

In losing him Texas has lost the foundation for a successful business that would have been of immense pecuniary value to her people. More Confederate Ministers. A special dispatch from Washington to the Philadelphia Enquirer, says: A "Secesh" here says that John C. Breckinridge and R. M. T. Hunter will be sent abroad in place of Slidell and Mason, via Canada, and sail from Quebec or Halifax.--Some of our officials ought to distinguish themselves by bagging these two worthies. Commenting upon the above, the New York Tribune's Washington correspondent says: The report that J. C. Breckinridge or any other Confederate has started for Europe to take the place of Mason or Slidell, is discredited by Government. The policy of the Government respecting coast and lake def
