but were repulsed with severo los. 'J lie
light was renewed on Tuesday morning,
but was fully sustained when the courier
left.
Gen. Lane was at Johnstown with from
two to threo thousand mon, marching to
the "relief of Lexington.
The rebel loss on Monday is reported at
4.0UD, and tho Federal loss at 8(10, which
figures are probably exageratod.

THK BATTLE AT LKXIX(!TOX.
Si. 1,'iu'i.i, Sept. 20, A gentleman nam
ed King, who left a point on the Missou
ri rirer opposite Lexington on Wed ties
day night, arrived this morning, and re
ports tiint a severe liyht took pi icq on
Tuesday for tho possession of three ferry
boats which lay at lho levee. General
Price's forces advanced on ilia boats in
two bodies one from above and theothor
from below tho town and after a very
sharp engagement they were repulsed.
The boats were not iu fair range of Col.
Mulligan's guns, his fortilieations being
so situated as to prevent him fioin com
manding them completely, and his force
was too small to admit of his making a
soi tie against General Price's overwhelm
ing numb"rs ; but Mr. King says he sa'v
twelve wagon loads of kiilej and wounded
rebels taken oll'after tho light. He also
says that Gen. Price assaulted Col. Mulli
unn's fortifications four or fivo times on
Wednesday, hut was repulsed each time
'.vith a loss of between o'H) and 400.
Reinforcements from the North, proba
bly under Gen. Sturges, were expected to
arrive late 041 Wednesday, but as General
Price hail possession of tho ferry boats
they would not bo able to cross the river,
And of course could bo ol little or no ser
vice to Col. Mulligan.
Mr. King's account is quite incoherent,
and entire reliance is not. placed on it
here. There is little question, however,
that .1 battle has taken place, but tho de
tails are yet unknown.

employed against tho government, and
not all the slave properly of rebels, upon
which a oom-sondciu'e appears lo have
