1? Swift and Close Pursuit?Lexington,
Mo., Becare, die., &e.
(JSIULU, Mo., August 20,1862.
Advices from the West are to the effect that the rebel
fbrces under CoUeo, Quantroll, Cocluell, Tracy andotbersi,
which were lately menacing Lexington, are in fail retreat
southward.
The rebels are four thousand strong, and have the two
spiked cannon captorod from Major Foster at Lone Jack
on Fridnylsst.
Colonel Fitz Henry Warren, of the Iowa cavalry, and
General Blunt, of the Kansas forcee, are in hot pursuit,
with three thousand live hundred troops ,?nd fourteen
pieces of artillery.
Yesterday Colonel Warren was ten miles north of
Johnstown, Bates county, and Geueral Blunt twelve miles
southwest of him. Both were moving rapidly. The
rebels were only one hour ahead of Warreu's cavalry.
There is every prospect thnt the rebels will l>e over
taken and captured or bad!y whipped at the crowing of
the Osage river.
As soon as Colonel Houston, the oommander at Lexing
ton, heard of the defeat of Major Foster, at Lone Jack, ho
made energetic preparations for tho defence of tUat city.
Tho old fortifications were extended to the river, to en.
able the troni? to get water. All the adjacent buildings
which might servo for the shelter of sharpshooters were
blown up.
Color el Houston also ordered all tho'hemp in town to
be burned to prevent the rebels from making hemp bales
ag i in for breastworks.
The warehouses and hemp thus burned were probably
worth $200,000.
The hemp and factory of Mr. McGreer alone were
worth $75,000, on which' there was an insurance of
$21,000. '
The city Is now entirely Rocure against attack.

this class of people here unhesitatingly assert that, the
proposition will be rospectfully rejected, ruid tbe oolored
people will announce their preference and determination
to remain In 'the United States. There is racsun to be
lleve that such a reply will be put into the mouths of
these people by heartless abolition agitators,
who are unwilling to have their only hobby
taken away from them. With this vlow they
are Industriously trying to prejudice tbe free negroes
