Holmes County Republican

Jefferson City, Sept. 30.

A special dispatch to the St. Louis Republican says:

There is no intelligence of importance from Booneville, Georgetown, Sedalia, or Glasgow.

No apprehensions are felt of any immediate attack on any of these points by the rebels.

All reports received from Lexington corroborate the opinion already expressed that the rebels intend to keep their main force there, but it is stated that several bodies, from 200 to 2,000, have left there within a few days past for the North and West, but for what purpose is unknown.

Gen. Fremont preserves a strict silence, but he is said to be actively engaged in obtaining the exact number of troops he can command, and organizing plans for the approaching engagement, upon the success or failure of which he is to rest his reputation and win or lose his all. Every day an increasing interest is felt in the approaching battle, for it is generally supposed that it will decide the fate of Missouri. Some persons murmur at the delay, but Gen. Fremont is determined to have everything ready before he advances, and not to strike a blow before he believes it will be effective.

The opinion is becoming generally prevalent that the secessionists at Lexington are by no means despicable, but that with their vast numbers and ample ammunition their confidence and courage, they will make a powerful and desperate resistance

The pickets of Price's army extend from Lexington to within about 8 miles of Georgetown. They are stationed very near to each other, and thus the intelligence of all our movements is conveyed to Price's headquarters in the briefest space of time:

A telegraph wire was laid from Gen. Fremont's headquarters to camp Lytle this afternoon.
