Doc. 33. capture of Lexington, Missouri. Gen. Fremont's despatch. Headquarters Western Department, St. Louis, September 23. To Col. E. D. Townsend, Adjutant-General: I have a telegram from Brookfield that Lexington has fallen into Price's hands, he having cut off Mulligan's supply of water and reinforcements, four thousand strong, under General Sturgis. By capture of the ferry-boats, he had no means of crossing the river in time. Lane's force from the southwest, and Davis' force from the southeast, upward of eleven thousand in all, could not get there in time. I am taking the field myself, and hope to destroy the enemy, either before or after the junction of the forces under McCulloch. Please notify the President immediately. J. C.

Jackson, Governor of the State of Missouri: I have the honor to submit to you
