Movements of Kirby Smith and Marmaduke. By way of St. Louis, it is announced that Kirby Smith was supposed to be attempting to cross to the east side of the Mississippi, but at what point was either not known, or is not mentioned.

the State of Illinois, and appealed to those present to take no hasty steps, but to await the official call of their Grand Commander. He spoke of General Price in the most eulogistic terms; said he had been in constant communication with him, Marmaduke, and the rebels, in Arkansas. He expected and looked for a raid from Marmaduke. When he came, all should hail and support him as a friend and saviour. He referred minutely to the condition of North Missouri; said that all the Umited States tMarmaduke. When he came, all should hail and support him as a friend and saviour. He referred minutely to the condition of North Missouri; said that all the Umited States troops had been sent off to the front, and that the enrolled militia would amount to nothing, and could not be trusted by the Government. He looked upon a rebel raid, therefore, as an easy matter. Two hundred Southern men could, even now, march from the Kansas line to the Mississippi, and take all the United States troops in the district. He gave detailed accounts of the posts where United States troops were stationed, and the number at each; also the points of easy access and passage where n

ord, and hoisted the Yankee flag. He declared that he was born on the American side of the river, he was a citizen of the United States, and would hold Brownsville for that government. He immediately notified the Yankee commander at Brazos of his proceedings, and offered, through him, to the United States Government, the services of himself and army. A Louisville dispatch states that Forrest crossed the Coldwater on Monday last, and camped within fifteen miles of Memphis. General Marmaduke, with seven thousand men, is across the St. Francis river, intending to invade Missouri. General Price is threatening Little Rock A letter from Grant's army, speaking of General Hampton's raid, says: Kautz's and Gregg's commands were both ordered in pursuit as soon as the enemy's presence was known, but were unable to more than harass his retreat.

From Northern Mississippi. --The Yankees seem to be quiet above. It is said Marmaduke and Price are giving them as much as they can attend to across the river. Last week, five or six hundred came out within a few miles of Hernando, and a squadron of one hundred and fifty dashed into the place. They remained in the vicinity ten or fifteen days, but finally went back to Memphis. It is said that General Morgan L. Smith is to be placed in command at Memphis, but this is not generally believed, for Washburne is a great favorite with Lincoln, and the command at Memphis is a very soft, shady place, except when Forrest gets scarce of horses. Blockade running is pretty well broken up, and some of the old operators have sold out and gone South. Goods are higher at Jackson than they are in Mobile. The fact is, they are too high everywhere. New issue, although extremely scarce, has not reduced prices at all. On the contrary, everything is higher now than it was twelve months

ver. A dispatch to the Tribune from Louisville, dated October 4th, says that "a band of thirty-five guerrillas captured two upward- bound freight trains on the Nashville railroad at 10 o'clock last night, between Richland station and Fountainhead. They burned nineteen cars, but they contained no stores. To-day the trains will be slightly disarranged by the disaster." Accounts from Missouri state that General Price is moving on Rolla in three columns, the right under Shelby and Marmaduke, the centre under himself, and the left under Cooper — the latter being composed mainly of half-breed Indians. About five hundred rebels entered Union, the county seat of Franklin county, on Saturday, and captured about one hundred of the county militia.--Washington had a garrison of six hundred men, under Colonel Gale, who evacuated the place on the approach of the rebels, and took his men and stores across the Missouri river.
