We are short a hand in the office this week, and being desirous those at la bor should, in common with our citi zrns, observe the National fast day, we issue but half a sheet, and that a day in advance of regular publication day. Why can't some arrangement be made by which we can at this place receive our mails some fife or six hours earlier ? There are two ways it can be done. First to discontinue the daily route from Rock Port to this place, and establish a direct route from Saint Joseph to Omaha, on the Kansas and Nebraska side of the river. This wouid not only greatly ac commodate our own immediate locality, but the whole section of country between the points named. By this arrangement we would receive at eight o'olock in the morning, what we now get a four and five o'clock in the afternoon. Another arrangement, having bur mail arrive here from Rock Port at eight o' clock in the morning, instead of depart ing at that hour would answer the same purpose.

We have just been shown a letter from a gentleman present at the skirmish, to a citizen of this plaoe, giving an account ofthe fight between forty Union men and two huhered secessibnists, at Jack son's Point.Mo., on Saturday last. The Union men put the rebels to flight, cap turing eight or ten horses and taking six prisoners. We have been requested to ask why candidates for the Legislature have thus far made no arrangements for speaking. Come, gentlemen, do dodging. Let us hear from you The War for tlie Uniou. BY TELEGRAPH! The Overland Mail to be sent via Council Bluffs and Omaha. Jllore Fighting in Missouri. DESPERATE FIGHTING AT LEXING - TON. WASHINGTON'S NEPHEW KILLED. The New York World says that Gen. Lyon's will, gives all his property, some $30,000, to the government. His labor, bis possessions and his life have all been laid tipon the altar of the country which he loved. No man can do more, and his memory is henceforth embalmed a- mong the most precious of the nation s treasures. From our telegraphic reports it will be seen that the rebels have taken Lexing ton, Missouri, and were marching on St. Joseph. If this latter be true, we look for warm tines ia upper Missouri. To our old friend Hon. E. S. Wilhhe, now a member of the Colorado Legisla ture, we aro indebted for documentary favors, that body being ia session. Attack of Rebels nponBocnville Washington, September 16. Owing to information received by the Post Office department, that the Hanni bal and St. Joseph railroad is entirely unprotected from the rebels, and St. Jo in their hands, it has ordered the Cali fornia mail to be carried via Davenport, Council Bluffs and Omaha. The Department has also received in formation that the officers and employ ees of the Overland Mail Company are rebels. Kansas City, Sept 18. Fifteen hundredmen under Col. Smith overtook three thousandxrebels as they were crossing from the north to the south side of the Missouri, at Blue Mills Lan ding, on the 27th, and after a sharp fight completely routed them, killing from 150 to 200, and taking twelve prisoners. The Federal loss is fifty killed, and 27 woun ded, Col. Smith, at last advices, was in rapid pursuit of the fugitives. Kansas Citt, Sept. 19. Latest advices by private letter from Lexington, to-day, say Gen Price attack ed the Federal forces at that place at ten o'clock, on the 18th. Price's force was 30,000, and that of the Federals at from five to six thousand. The Federals fought them gallantly for over two hours, when the secessionists, succeeded in driving them to their en trenchments, which overlook the town, carrying everything before them, our entrenchments were assalted with great fury, when the Irish Brigade sallied out, and with the bayonet scattered the assaulting- column- ia' every direction with great olctUIUtfr. No statement of losses cn eiter side Is given Price drew off from the town, and will assault the Federal entrenchments to day with seventeen pieces of artillery. The Federals have but little hope of their ability to withstand a general attack, but are determined to fight as long as possi ble. When an attempt is made to carry the entrenchments by storm, the Federals will meet them outside the works, and it worsted, will then retire behind them, prepared for a desperate hand to hand encounter. Many of the Union rflen at Lexirjgton and in the vicinity, have joined the Fede ral forces. Washington, Sept. 15. Mr. Sasarra, the Spanish Minister, has called to assure the Secretary of State that the report from Charleston that the Captain-General of Cuba has issued a proclamation recognizing the rebel flag . - is untrue. The facts are tnat vessels from any port in the United States in possession of the rebels, coming in port. without regular papers, are, or necessi ty, admitted without any of the regulari ties, just as they have been admitted in all the ports since the rebels obtained the possession of the custom houses There is no recognition of the reU-l Adcr in the Spanish or any of her colonial porn. Elkwateh, Va., S pi 17 On tbe l3th inst., a detachment of 300 men from the 14th Indiana and 24th Ohio Regiments, dispersed three Tennessee Regiments under General Anderson on the west side of Cheat Mountain n:om nletelv routin? them, killing 80 and ob taining most of their equipments. Our loss was only eight killed. The enemy made an attack on Elkwa ler the same night, with a force, supposed to be 1400 strong-1 but were driven back bv detaching several hundred froia the 15ih Indiana, and the 3d and 7th Ohio, with the aid of shell from Loomis bat tery. They have retired soma eight or ten miles. A strong force of Arkansas, Tennes see. and-Virffinia troops are threatening the east side of Cheat Mountain. A shell from one of Loomis' guns was thrown into the enemy's camp at a dis tance of two miles, killing ten wounding four. Tiie 12th Indiana had several skir mishes with superior numbers on the 12th instant, and killed ten of twelve witn on- Iv triflinar loss. One of the killed at Elktrater, was Cel. John A Washington of Mount Ver non. St. Louis, September 13. Martin Green, at the Lead of 3,500 mounted lebels was sround the Missouri River near Boonville. on Wednesday and moved southward. He took possession of the steamer Sunshine, which was ly ing at Glasgow, and osed it for trans porting his men over the river. Oa the Sunshine were sdme 4,500 stand of arms and some four or five secession prisoners and aFedeial guard of fourteen men. Green released the prisoners and took the cuard prisoners. The Sunshine was laden with bacon, sugar, and various oth er things, all of which fell into Green's hands, and went into his commissary department. At West Ely, in Marion county, Col. I Moore, ot a regiment ot Home Uuards, last evening, fell in with 75 to one hun dred secessionists. Col. Moore had 200 men. He immediately gave battle, and rouxed the rebels, who scattered in every direction. Two of ihe Federal forces were killed. It is not known how much the rebels suffered, it being dark. Tom Hoines captured a Government Agent named Smith, in Boone county, a few days since, and took from him $12, 000, and a number of horses. It was expected that Harris would take possess sion of Columbia, Boone county, where a bank is located. Capt. Foster, of Col. Manhin's regi ment, Franklin County Home Guards, brought in seven prisoners last night who were directly from Hardee's army. They report that a fight had occurred in Har dee's camp between the Missourians and the Louisianians in reference to the con duc of the Missourians in the battle of Springfield; the Louisianians charging the Missourians with cowardice, and also treating them as cowards. The Louisianians charge that while they were fighting, the Missourians ac tually stole their horses' and fled. Gen. Hardee was falling back on Pocahontas. The Missourians were dispersing. Washington, Sept. 14. The President transmitted the follow ing to Gen. Fremont, on the 12th inst., on the subject of Fremon's proclamation. He says ; "Assuming that you, being upon the ground, could better judge of the neces sity of your position that I could at this distance, on seeing your proclamation of of August 30th, I perceive there is a general objection to the clause relative to the confiscation of property and the lib eration of slaves; objectionable from its non-conformity to the act of Congress Dassed on the sixth of August. I wrote you expressing the wish that you would modify that clause. Your answer ex pressing the preference that I should make an order for this modification which I cheerfully do. It is therefore ordered . - 4 a a that said clause be modified, held, and construed, to conform with, and not tran scend the provisions contained in the ac' of Congress entitled nn act to confiscate all property used for insurrectr iry pur poses, and that it te puulishcd at leng'.!; with thia crden ABRAHAM LINCOLN. . THE PROBABILITIES OF AjY ENGAGEMENT. Washington, Sept. 19. Gentlemen, from the West, now in this city, say any change in the head of the department of the West will seriously check enlistment throughout the North west, and operate against the taking of the national loan by Western citizens, while Fremont's proclamation carried out woald eive both great impetus. The pro clamation would be believed as the real cause cf Fremont's removal, notwith standing the support given him by the Cabinet. The matter is still under con sideration by the President. Two plans which had been matured by Gen. Fremont to capture Pillow and Mem phis, were frustiated by order from Washington. A detachment of loyal Marvland vol unteers crossed the Potomic at Williams port a day or two since, attacked a com pany of rebel soldiers, and drove ihern some distance beyond Shepardstown, Va. Several negroes in full uniform came to this city with a regiment from the ciiy of New York.- Secretary Cameron now insists that the colored men shall not wear th? army uniform. New Yohk, Sept. 19. This evening's Commercial says, we think we have sufficient authority for say ing that as far as a movement of the na tional troops is concerned, there is no probability of an engagement within thirty days. Of course if attacked there will be a general and severe battle. Our troops are well prepared to meet any number they may bring ; but for perfect ing the arrangements for the onward movement it is deemed best to accom plish certain things which may not be effectually done in less than thirty days. These matters have no reference, we be lieve, to the raising of more men, the government being satisfied that it has all that it will require. Baltimobe, Sept. IS. All reports about Gen. Johnson cross ing the Potomas are unfounded, There is much alarm at Mar.'msburg arid Winchester about Gen. B?.nks cross ing the Potomac. Louisville, Sept. 19. Early this morning Kae United States Marshal seized the office of the Louis title Courier, and. arrested ei-Governor Morehead, Rouben E. Durrett, one of the proprietors of the Courier, and Mar tia W. Earr, telegraphic news reporter of the lNTew Orleans Associated Press, on charges of treason or complicity with traitors. The prisoners were carried to Jeffersonville, and will be transferred to the custody of the Marshal of the Second District. The transmission of telegraph ic news South has been Interdicted, and the lines are still interrupted. From Icilnstoa. St. Louis, Sept. 20. A gentleman named King, who left a point on the Missouri River opposite Lex ington, on Wednesday night, arrived in St. Louis on Friday morning, and reports that a severe fight took place on Tues day, for the possession of three ferry boats, which lay at the Isvee. FricoV force advanced on the bca!s ia two- tod ies one from above, and the other frosi below the town, and after s Tery shirp engrgement, they were captnretL Tho boats were not in range cf 2Ia!lig$ar3 guns, for his fortifications being situated, so as to prevent him from commanding them completely, and his force wa3 too small to admit of his making a sortia against Price's overwhelming uursJjers, but Mr. King rays he saw twelve wagon loads of killed and wounded rebels tik en off after the fight. Ha aho says Price assnnlted Mcliigaa'ss fortifications four or fire times on Wednesday, but was repulsed each time, with a total loss cf between three and four thousand men. Reinforcements from the north, probably . under Gen. Sturgis, were expected fo ar rive late cn Wednesday night, but 03 Price had possession of the ferry boats, they would not be able to cros3 the rifer. and of course could be of little or no service to Mulligan. Leavenworth, Sept. IS. Citizens of this place, who were at Lexington at the time of the surrender of the Federals, state that the troops had been thirty-six hours without water. The surrender was unconditional. The rcleU . claimnd to have 3,700 men but badly., armed and equipped, and without orjani- tion. Many having joined for a day or two only. Jackson, Rains and Price, were there. Our informant escaped from, the town after the surrender, and maia his way up to the nearest point ca the Hannibal and St. Joseph railroad, thence to this city. Scouts this morning report." a strong column in march northwardly ', from Lexington. Supposed destination St. Joseph. Organized companies Kan-" sas militia ordered to reorgantze at thij city immediately. Wasainoton, Sept 21. tt is stated that 10,000 additional can leave Indiana in 24 hours. Gen. Reynolds, who was at Cheat Mountain, the telegraph states has driver the rebels fr m their position, killing 100 Col.
