His wife, Josiio Betitnn, daughter rf Senator Demon, was a bold, courageous woman, and she hnd dptprininwl that the war should give tha hu.il.-and whom had married In romaneo, whom hail seen tho first candidate for the of tho party tbon In pdVor, the prominence In? dewrveil.

The exigencies would hare called for the Instant presence of Mtn mander "to Grant if he la travel by hand-car or special engine. Wnen Fremont took command of the Department of the West, Lyon was at Springfield It was, lhaf the latter should be reinforced at once for Fremont needed some little time to acquaint himself with affairs In 'his Department Two weeks afterward tha Battle of Wilson's Crook was fought and Lyon killed But after that disaster It was certainly Incumbent upon the Commanding General to heed the growth of Price's army, and bring all the tremeadous energy he was supposed to poBsesl'to strengthen the various pointi held, and concentrate his scattered forces. He did malm an effort- direction by Bending Jeff C.

Davte to Jefferson City CoL Mulligan with a brigade of 3,000 men, to Lei- Ington, and to Northern' Missouri but It was shown afterward thnt these dispositions frtre ilia vailing lo check. It has'een- erafly been thought that Fremont was disposed to underrate tho strength of Price and the Importance of protecting that portion of Missouri. In pursuance of his grand and comprehensive scheme of marching an army to New Orleans, he paid moro attention to reinforcing Cairo and other points on tho Mississippi not then seriously threatened than he did to protecting and reinforcing the weak commands of the West Again it was shown that elaborate system of fortification at St. Lo i 3 was wholly needless. St Louis was never threatened by an organized Yet he built earthworks there at tremendous cost, and kept 13,000 men as a gnrrison, who ought to have been off to check Price and reinforce Mulligan.

That Freoriioni did work with tremendous energy la not denied, but history has long since decreed that'ltwasmisdirected ineffaetlva. While hd 'was attempting to carry out his brood and brilliant schemes at Ht Louis and endeavoring to crush the rebellion by fulminating civil proclamations Gen. Price' was going up through Western Missouri Illce a whirlwind. 'Though deserted by Ben MoCuUough, Price left Springfield about the middle of August and started almost duo northwest receiving as he marched; He drove back Gen. Jim Lone, luto Kansas and made straight for Lexington on the Fremont learned of the movement, but too lata to accomplish much It Col.

Marshall's regiment of Illinois cavalry, and a few scattered troops. most ha could muster was mm.

Ha was well trenched, however. He bad got an eminence, that upon which the Lexington college stood, and had thrown upa tystem of earthworks which commanded the city. Had Bturges or Pope, or anybody ordered to do so, come to his alii In time, Mulligan could not only bavo held Islington, but might have attacked arid' routed Price's army. As It was the gallnnt officer held his ground against a ten days' siege and a five days' persistent cannonading and assault. On the 17th, after three or four days' skirmishing and artillery practice, Price began to rinse In on his prey.

Gen. Harris, following the south bank of the river, made his connection with Price's left, thus completely cutting off Mulligan from tha river and from water supply. There was but one little spring In the neighborhood of the college and two small elrtenm The latter were dried at once, while the spring hardly had water enough for the net-ds of a company, to say nothing of 2,800 men and 700 horses. Mulligan had, too, but a few days' rations and only forty rounds of ammunition per man, and altogether his situation bad become desperate. On Sept 13 Price concentrated his forces for a final struggle.

He had already occupied the town of Lexington and planted his batteries in the Court House Square within 1,000 yards of Mulligan's lines. He had another battery east of that, which hod a clean sweep to the front of the college building, so near that he could make grape-shot effective. Tha close Investment began about 9 o'clock, and for three days Mulligan's little band was not free from a storm of shot, shell, grape, and every form of missile. Harris, from bis position on the river, assailed the rear of Mulligan's works, end Parsons and Rains In front showered upon him a merciless hall. Imme.

aiatah- north of the college building was what wwtnown as' tho Anderson House, a flue two-story brick mansion, which Col. Mulligan had used as a hospital. This was the scene of the hottest fighting of tho two days' oaptured by tho brave fullows shed tears, was taken. There were fewer events during the war which involved groator heroism than Mulll- gan's defense of Islington. He hod but a Jimitsd force, few provisions, and scarcely any ammunition.

Hn had the incumbranct of 700 horses belonging to a cavalry regiment with nothing but pistols to fight with. Ho could have got away, and doubtless would, had he not been told to hold the place. As It was he "hold the fort" for more than it week -against ten times his numbers, then succumbed only when water, provisions, were gone. Yet it was a most important victory for Price. By it ho secured three colonels, two other Held officers, five pieces of ai tillory, two mortars, 8,000 muskets, 050 horses, $100,000 worth of stores of various kindu, and $900,000 In specie which had been previously taken from one of the Lex- Ington banks.

This last, however could hardly be called a capture, since CoL Mulligan's command had only removed it from the bank to protect It from the possl- bility of raid from marauding bands. When on the surrender Mulligan said to Price: "Here is the money, sir," Price responded: "For the bank)" "Most certainly," said Mulligan, "we were only holding It In trust" That act and tho spirit which prompted II have always held Mulligan's memory green In Itatwecn tho two forces nuurlv a million of gold was at stake. During the cannonading, the assaults, tho fiery charge, thu grim held Inviolate There Is even a story, vouched for by Greeley, that, after the ivndur Price said: "My dear Col. Mulligan, there Is a shortage $15,000 on that Colonel-drew himself up and siiicl "I know nothing about it. General, but I'll find it." He found it.

Fifteen thousand of tho money had got misplaced In a sink pot In the cellar of the college building. Mulligan knew that the money had been stolen. Ho could not court- martial the thief. He could only return It with an apology and keep bis eyes on the man ho suspected. CoL Mulligan's reverse aroused the Washington authorities, and it was soon after determined to relievo Fromont He who had assumed command in July hastily re- liavod from command in October.
