Great Battle at Lexington, Missouri. JURRERBON CITY, Sept. 18.— Two couriers kave just arrived from Lexington, with the fol lowing intelligence, which is believed by the commanding > Sner bcre to be in ihe main re liable. General Price commenced ihe attack on tbe entrenchments at Lexington on Monday. 001. Mulligan, the commander of the Federal troops rusde a Tigorons defense, and the fight all day, was very severe. Throughout toe day General Prioe assaulted the works, bat was repulsed with great loss. The fighting was renewed on Tuesday morn ing, but the assault was feebly sustained when the couriers left. General Laoe wis at Johns town, Bales county, with ■ foroe of from two thousand to three thousand, marching to the relief of Lexington. The rebel loss on Monday is said to be 4, 000, and that of the Federal troops 800, bat this is probably an exaggeration. [SECOND DESPATCH J j JEFFERSON CITY, Sept. 18—On Monday afternoon Gen. Prioe again sent to Lexington, j summoning 001. Mulligan to surrender. Colo* ! ael Mulligan's reply was—"Tell him to go to ! heil." 6 The enemy immediately opened upou him with artillery, and attempted to rally UDdcr its oovcr. They were repulsed with tremen dous loss, and our flag is still waving. Gen. Line, with an estimated foroe of fivo thousand Kansas troops, is reported to be wttbm forty mile 9of Lexington, rapidly ad vancing to reinforce Col. MulligaD. Other Federal troops are rapidly moving •orwaid from St. Josoph and oiber points to ; reinforce Mulligan. The Eighteenth, Twenty-second, Twenty fourth, an J Twenty sixth Indian* Regiments have gone to Lexington on the steamers Des Moines and White Cloud. These reiaforoeuionts number about 6000 effective trooops, and will reach IjextDgton to morrow morning, the 10tb. Every confidence is felt here that Colonel Mulligan will be able to hold Lexington until reinforcements arrive. The Osage bridge, eleven miles from here, on the Pacific Railroad, is stid to be the first point threatened by BeD. McOullooh's forces, now belioved to be adv&ntuDg rapidly from the southwest.

LOUTS, MO., Sept. 21— In order to avoid confusion and correct many contradictory statements relative to the position of Lexing ton and the opposing forces of Colonel Mulli gan and General Price, it is deemed necessa ry to make the following explanation: The General direction of the Missouri river at Lexington is from west to east, Lexington lying on the Southern bank. The early settle ment, now called "Old Town," is situated back on a bill, and has been superseded by New Lexington, farther up the river, where the steamboat landing is, and whiobisthe main city. Colonel Mulligan's fortifications re on the ridge running at right angles between ths two towns. They surround the Masonic College buildings—staudicg about a quarter of a mile from the river— whieh have been use ! as quarters for the troops, aod strength ened to resist an artillery attack, The line of for tifications rnos dowu to the river bluff, be tween wbiob and the water's edge is a wide shelving beach. This is the point where the conflict took place on Tuesday for the posses } sion of the ferry boats* j The .n-in body of Price's army is situated at the Old Town, but the fortification* have been assailed from al! sides except the river. Oo Thursday of last week an attack w* ro.de frcm the Old Town by t strong purty ol roving rebels, who were repulsed with consid erable loss, and the Old Town was shelled and burned, to pretcot its being used as a shor ter Lexington proper is in the possession of Gen eral Price, but it is not being made the theatre •f conflict. The reinforcements which left Jefferson City on Wednesday, if tbey were not axsailod by batteries along the shore, munt have reached the neighborhood of Lexington yesterday.— These trops could doubtless have been hnded on the South side of river, the steamers having cros-c.i to the Ferry. Gen. Sturgis' command bring brought across, and the combined force* numbering about twelve thousand, on Lex iog;> n, with the easi-taoce of Mulligan'! brroes and Geo. Lane's command, oao attack and completely rout Price's whole army. I STiRTLIM; REPORT ( OICAQO, Sept. 2*2 —A special despatch to the Timss, eent from Quincy, Illinois, t 1 o'clock this (Sunday) morning, says the ro-il agent of the Haimibal and St. Joseph Kail road, who arrived at 7 o'clock on Saturday evening from St. Joseph, states that Oolom I Mulligan and bis wbo!e command t Lexington mrrendered to General Price on Friday momr ing at 5 o'elook. The siege continued from Monday until the time of the surrender. Col. Mulligan's aen were without water al day oa Thursday, and FriJay morning found them soropletely exhausted. They fought va liantly and desperately, but were compelled tc yield to vastly superior numbers. The number of Union troops killed is said to be from 800 to 900, whilo that of the reb els is estimated at some three or four thousand with a proportionate number of wouoded. The report of the above battle sod its un fortunate result is fully corroborated by pas sengers on the same train. The news wut brought by stage to Hamilton, whieh is b< the nearest point on the railroad to Lexington being distant forty miles. Of the faet of the surrender there can bt no doubt. A special despatch tc the Chicago Tribune from beacquartors, at St. Lou is, received this (Sunday) evening savs tbe burreoder rf Mul ligan i not believed there, hot that reiaforoo menta were pusbiug toward him from four dif fcrerrt directions. Boat of the Rebel's at Bine Mills. KANSAS CITT, Sept. 19.—Fifteen hundred men, nndcr Colonel Smith, overtook 3000 Se cessionists as the; were crossing the river at Hloe Mills Landing, on the 17th, and com pletely rou'od theui, killing between I{>o and 200, and takiag 12 prisoners. The Federal loss was 50 killed and 25 wounded. LATER DISPATCH. Sr. LOUIS, Sept. 21st.—Two fights occured at Line Mills Landing on the 17tb iust., tbe first between 500 of the Third lowa regiment, with one piece of artillerj, under Lieut. Cul. Scott, and about 4000 rebels. After a desperate struggle of several hours, duration, in which Lieutenant Colonel Scott lost 120 killed and wounded, and all bis hors es, he retreated slowl; for half a mile, hauling his cannon b; band, when he took a position on an eminence and waited an attack, but the 1 enemy did not pnraue. Not long after, Col. Smith's command, with four pieces of artillery, approached blue Mills by another route, and engaged and rtouted the rebels as they ware about crossing ithe ri'ver. EXCITING MEWS FROM KENTUCKY. LouisvrLi.E. Sept. 21—It la rumored that Gen. Buokner, of tbe rebel troops, has advanc ed on Elisabetntown. ' , , Tne bederal trocpa are prepared for any emergency. Tbe following proclamation has.just been received. "To the people of Kentucky. "The Legislature of Kentucky have been faithless to ttie will of tbe people. Tbey have endeavored to uiakoyour, gallaut State a for tress, in wuioh, under tbe guise of neutrality. Cue aruif.d forces of the United States might * oretly prepare to subjugate alike the people of Kentucky and tbe Southeru States. "It was not until after months of covet t and open violation of your neutrality, with large encampments of Federal troops on your territory, and a recent offioial ( deoiaratioß of ' the President of the United States not to re- ! j gird your neutral position, coupled with a well j prepared scheme to seize an additional point in j yon<- territorr which was of vitel importance to ibe stfety and defence of Tennessee, tbat j the troops of the Confederacy, on, the iovita j tion of the people ol Kentucky, oeoupied a de | fensive poet io your State, j- "In doing so, the commander announced ! b's purpose to evacuate your territory aimul j bineously with a similar movement oo the part of the Federal forces, whenever the Legisla ture of Kentucky shall undertake to eoforee against both belligerents the strict neutrality which they have so often declared. "1 return amongat yon, citizens of Keu tucky, at the head of a force the advance of which is oomposed entirely of Kentuckians.— We do not come to molest any citizen, what* ever may be bis politicsl opioious. •'Unlike the agents of the Northern despot ism, who leek to reduce us to the condition of dependant vassals, we believe that the recog nition of the civil rights of citizens is the foundation of constitutional liberty, aod that the claim of the President of the United I States to declare martial law, to sngpood the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, and to convert every buraok tu the iiD<J into a Bar tile, is nothing but the elaim which other ty rants have assumed to subjugate a freo peo ple.

I renew the pledges of the oommaoders of other oulumns of toe Confederate troops to retire from the territory of Kentucky on the same conditions whkth will govern their movements.

S. W JI.LIAMS, Asst. Adjutan:.General. The following ?pech was delivered at a'flght ing oonvcotioD r * of the Democratic party in Wes-oLestcr county N. T., by Geo. A Brsnd rctb. I endorse the sentiments which the HOD. Daniel S. Dickenson has lately expressed. 1 believe those patriotio sentiments should be the t:uidiog principles of every patriotic Democrat. If you elect me as a delegate to the Syracuse Convention 1 shall vote for him for Secretary of State. lam opposed to Peter Cragger and Dean Richmond, and, in fact, all Ben. Wood Democrats, believing they ate nothing lot secessionists in disguise and we never can succeed in puitiog down this rebellion unless we first subdue secessioniat# at borne. Ibey are lending aid and ceuifort to the enemy, and encouraging them by tbeir talk of liberal of fers of peace. No peace can be made with the seceded states without acknowledging their independence. Do that and we surely lose Rleo tuoky, Maryland, and Missouri, and our Un ion dissolves like a rope of sand. I tberetore believe in a vigorous prosecution ol the war, until the rebellious states, like bad children, are whipped into obedience. I tbiuk that the late offer of the Republicans to join with the Democrats, and sink party issues for our com mon welfare, magnanimous and wise; and if our Central Committee bad Dot the power to accept it they should have called their Con. vention to assemble the same day as the Re publicans. and then the people by their rep resentatives could have settled tbe matter. The secession Democrats broke up our national convention, defeated Douglas, and elected Lincoln, and now they say that bis election is the cause of the present war. i •ay that tbe secession Derooorats cause j tbe war and all our present troubles, and they should bo punished and subdued. Until this is done we shall bare uo government, and nothing ab out wbich political parties can have cause to fight. The only issue now is, for or against the war, and the support of tbe admin istration. lam for the war and sustaining the administration until we are victorious, or so badly beaten as 'o be forced to beg en our knees for peace. 1 will then fight for ibe Democracy, but unttl tben we should ail figbt for our country. • ONLY PATRIOTS-OR TRAITORS:" la the last speech dciiviered by Stephen A. Uouglas occurs this paragraph: But this is no time (or a detail of ceuscs. Tbe conspiracy is now known. Armies have been raised, war is levied o accomplish it. There are only Iwo sides to the question.— Every bhu must be for the Uoiteu States or Hgniosr. it. Tfbri can be no ntuirnls in this Wtr; ONLY PATRIOTS-OR TRAITORS. This is the whole story;, and there i no mis taking "Patriots' 2 for "Traitors." Neutrality is treason; aod he is st heart a traitor who savs or does anything to embarrass the Gov ernment or discourage the people. Thoee whose general leanings render it necessary for them to specially affirm, their pit riot i.-m, are not true nu n. A real, hearty, honest patriot will he known as such by every one. He neither says nor does iquivoc.l things; and heaee is never doubted or questioned. Those who are doubted should be. There is some thing in what they say or do which comprls suspicion - The lameuted Douglas uttered s groat truth when he said; "There oan be no ueutrals in this war; only Patriots or Traitors." How A MAN FEELS WHIN BE 18 SHOT.— We take the iolluiving from a letter writreu by one of the lowa volunteers, who fought in the bittle uer Springfield, Missouri: "I was standing, or rstber kneeling, behind a little bush reloading my uiurket, just biforo tbe rebels engaged in this olose work retreated. Suddenly i felt a sharp pain in tin shoulder and fell to the ground. Jumping a<> cue of onr hoys asked ms if I wai hjsit I repliod I tbt I thought not, and drew up roy icusket I to fire, when he said: "ITes, you arc shot j ficbt through the shoulder." I think it w*, this remark more than the wound, wbtoh cans ed the field, all at once, to ecnnmrnce whirling j eroood me iu a very strauge mmner, 1 start ed to leave it, with a half nunoe musket bsll r in my shoulder, sod once or twice fell down with dizziness, but in a short tirno recovered I sufficiently to be able to wall back to Spring field, niue miles, where the ball was taken out. 07* Dr. Lelind's Anti Rheumatic Band J IS the only known remedy for Rheuinaiisro, ' Gout and N"oraigU, nd the pernicious effects i of Mercury, and it us with the greatest satis ; faction, as to ite merits, that we call the ats j tautiou of our readers to the t'dvertiserijeiit in j -uotber column of our piper, of the Aoti { Rheumatic Band, i Sept. 6, 1861. j $26 !
