S. H TATE, JOHN MOWER. Gail Fremont- There can be hardly a doubt (says the mag netic telegraph) that Gen. Fremont has been superseded in tne command of the Federal ar my in Missouii. His incapability JD manage a force so larg •, his reckless extravagance and corrupt and dishonest dealings, have been ful ly ascertained by Adjutant General Thomas, (who has made a lengthy report on the sub ject to the War Department) and we presume for this reason he has been removed. We have always looked upon Fremont as a stupen dous, puffed-up , vainglorious humbug; "on ly this and nothing more." That he should have gained the confidence and secured the af fection of a very large portion of the Ameri can people is nothing astounding in this day of wonders, when people love to be humbug ged ' now and then, just for the sake of "a change." That he shoutel have been made the representative of the great sectional party which sprung up to the destruction of the Un ion and the imminent peril ol the Government, is not more strange than that a majority of the people of the North were so deluded and be—fooled as to think that the country . would be safe under the rule of such a party. But that he should have been entrusted by the : President with so important an oßice as the > command of the army in Missouri, is wonder ful beyond all comparison or conjecture. A man who was a notorious mutineer when form erly in the service, who had been broken of his ■*- j ous insubordination, who had no reputation I whatever as a military commander, who was known merely as a reckless and fool-hardy anventurer, could not have had any claims upon the President for a position so respon sible, arduous and important, and should nev er have been appointed to fill it. But it is well that Fremont's wild career has been curbed thus early. The mischief he would have done to the Government, had he been suffered to retain his command, is incalculable. True, his removal is raising up a powerful fac tion among the"RepubUcans," who are mov ing heaven and earth to break down the Ad ministration; but the gallant and loyal Dem ocracy will rush to the rescue of the President, as they have already rushed 10 the battle-field lor the rescue of the Constitution; and if there is to be a conflict between the Administration and the Abolitionists of the Republican party, the people will sustain the former while the latter will receive a quietus from which they can never ai is?. For ourself, we are glad to be able to approve ot the President's removal of Fremont. It should have been done when he violated the law, by attempting to declare the emancipation ot Missouri slaves, flad he been a Democrat, Lis neck would long ago have felt the edge ot the Executive guillotine. But as he belonged to Ihe party of the Administration, his case has been leniently and temporizingly handled. Nevertheless, we are entirely satis fied, and we doubt not that all good citizens, especially the conservative Union men of tbp country, wiM rejoice with us, that Fremont, the coifupt and dishonest Abolition general, has been dismissed ltom the service which he has already too long and too deeply disgraced. Retirement of G-ea. Scott. Lieut. Gen. Scott has resigned the chief command of the armies of the United States, and has retired from ac tive military service. It is with deep regret that we make this announce ment. In the retirement ofGeu. Scott, the Gov ernment loses an officer whose name is interwo ven with the history o! the most briiluut tri umphs of American arms- the country loses the active service of a true patriot and the army a general whose peer is yet to be found among cis-Atiantc military men. The reason given for Gen. Scott's resignation, is feeble health. May the \eteran hero live to see peace restor ed to the country he loves, and may the twi light of his existence be calm and peaceful as the meiidian of his life was brilliant and glori ous! surrounded the rebei general, Flcyd, near Gau ley Bridge, and taken hitn prisoner. Rosecrans cut bis way around a mountain, and complete ly surprisod F.oyd by shelling his camp. If the rumor be correct, it will have a great ef fect in crushing out the secessionists in Wes tern Virgisifc The Tug of War "When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war," is an old saying and is about be ing verified by which has recent ly sprung up between Herald and Whig and the Bedford Inquirer , the "Republi can" organs of their respective counties. The i Herald and IFAig complained in a long string of dolorous adjectives, that the "Republicans ' |of the Judicial and Assembly Districts were "sold', (which was quite true) and the Bedford editorial Ajas hurls back ihe charge, end with that wouderful "main strength and awkward ness" so peculiar to himself, strives to make it appear that the Somerset man is dissatisfied, not because of the "selling," but because Somer set county did not derive an advantage from the "sale." The Herald an. Whig replies, ac cusing the Inquirer man of infidelity to the parly nominations and of supporting one ol the Democratic candidates tor the Legislature. lis last article reads, in part, as follows "Mr. Davia Over, the edito rof I lie Bedford Inquirer , who professes to be a Republican, whose paper is ostensibly the organ of the pat ty in that county, and had, du-ing the canvas, the name of George IV. Householder lit its mast-head, while its editor was zealously la boring for his democratic opponent and thus betraying the interests of his {'arty and play ing false to its nominee, has taken umbrage be cause we deemed it our duty to expose his du plicity and wash our hands of the consequences before the result of the election was known. H- thereupon devotes a column of abuse and attempted sarcasm, to the Republicans of this county in general, and ourself "ID particular. This diatribe we would have treated with the si lent contempt it merits, but for the attempt of its author to wipe off some of his nastiness on our skirts,"See, We have no desire to meddle in this iratn cicla! conflict, and we must confess that we ad mire the course o! the one combatant about as much as that of the other. The Herald ard Whig is entitled to our highest es'eem for its (aithlulness to its party friends, whilst the ed itor of the Inquirer in his efforts to defeat Mr. Householder, alter having been a mem ber of the Convention which nominated him and whiUrf keeping his name at the head of his pa oer, furnishes a species of treason so acceptable to his political opponents that it is almost im possible for them to despise the traitor. We could say, without the least hesitation, thai our old friend Scull deserves great credit for the stand he took during the late campaign (barrir.* that cancer in Wilmot's stomach) but were we to do so it might wound the feelings of the Inquirer nan, which we would not do for the world after his valuable assistance to the Democracy on the Assembly question. There fore, we hall at present say no more in re gard to the matter. TREASON AN D DISUNION IN IBi6. A writer in the Elmirtt Gzzclte makes the jfune* BtS, from the proceedings of a Convention held previous!) in Faneuil Hall: Resolved , That if the Governor or the Leg islature of this Common wealth shall do anv act to aid the Government of the United States, in prosecuting the iniamous war in requisition for troops, or co-operate in any way to assist in war or to give it countenance, they will deserve the contempt ol all honest men, and be recreant to duty, to liberty and to the Constiution. ****** n Resolved, That we, the people of Massachu setts, do hpre now deliberately assert that there is no longer a Union of the States a national Constitution, a National Executive, that no cit izen ot these States is tinder any kind of obliga tion of patriotism or of honor to aid the act of un paralleied outrage upon a sister republic; that a p3ritcipation in this war to an act of conspiracy with lawless marauders and murderers ngeinsl that nation; an.l that we announce for ourseles, and repomend to our fellow citizens the adop tion of these three emeasures as alone suitable to the present crisis: 1. Individually and collectively to pledge ourselves in no way to countenance, °ncourage or aid this inhuman and impious lodbery "of Mexico. 2. Individually and collectively to pledgecur contriontion to support the families of "those who. being draftted for this war, refuse to serve and take the pena Ity. 3. To meet in primary assemblies of tfie peo ple, and in county, State ami general conven tion! lor the end of re-establishing the pos'rate Republic; ol forming a nevv bond of Union ot Free men only, of adopting a new Constitution which shall be founded upon principles of uni versal justice, and fitted in all its articles to se cure the equal rights of every citizen to ''life, lioerty and the pursuits of happiness," an of or ganizing the people into a nation which God in n'l3 providence designed us to be, a nation of united Fr'.emcn.

The ves- Stis, more tnan fitly in number, formed in line | a few miles down the Roads and wentoutde j tween the capes in splendid style. In a!! its ap- I pointmeuts, this armament excels anything ever ! before witnessed on this continent. Its~desti j nation remains as a profound secret, and probably will so remain until it is revealed by the b.ow it proposes to strike. There ar f> in the exnediton 31 large transport vessels, conveying over 12,000 troops, with their arms, provisions! &.c. —lO steam gunboats, with Bor 10 other ves sels of war, carrying ir. ail about 4-00 guns. It is in every respect a powerful and admirably organized expedition, and but lor accident which cannot be foreseen, it will unquestionably rtuder very Essential service to the Union cause. The naval portion is under the com mand of Commodore Samuel F. Dupont, and the military portion is commanded by Gen. Thomas VV- Sherman. The appearance of this fleet as it left Fortress Monroejon Tuesday, is described as one of the most magnificent scenes in the annals of Arnencan history. We shall soon have stirring news ol the doings of this fleet. Local and Miscellaneous. . .. .Harry Turn recently married his cousin of the same name.

The water flowed through the house of Mr?. Crom wtll, almost submerging flie piano and damag ing some fine furniture. One of the daughters of Mrs. Cromwell was rescued from the house by placing her upon a horse. Altogether it was an extraordinary flood. May it long be the last. F. Hallet, of Boston, ha 3 written a long let ter to a committee in Holmesfyurg, Pa., which is published in the Philadelphie I'less, in which he sat*: There i 3 no i : Mie but this one great test:— Shall the const'h lien be the supreme law of the land in every Stale And Territory? Eleven' States have repudiated it by Secession. We must take care that the Free States do not ab rogate it by Abolition. Both are alike heresies to the Union, and both must be driven oat of our Eden, or we can have no Union, and no nee.ee in it if we had no Union. How TO KNOW A TCAITCR. —Some of our negro loving exchanges are publishing a series cf paragraphs, purporting to describe the men in the North who may be set down as traitors to their county. We have very little faith in any of the political receipts thus given, and, therefore, present one of our own, which we have never known to fail. Whenever you meet a man who has more love for the African than the Constitution, you can rest assured that his pretended loyalty to the whole Union means only one-half ol it.— Weekly Observer New Fancy Goods— a fine lot— just received I by M. C. Fetterly. Call and see, " * * i attJ a li-iii. The disastrous condition of things is attributa ble to the " malign influences" of Calitornians, with whom Genera! Fremont became unfortu nately connected in mining operations, and who burred from the Pacific on learning that hr was intrusted with a high military command. These ill omened men, some or all of whom left a dark record in California, seem to have obtain ed either a voluntary or constrained control of the quartejrmacter and commissary departments of Geri. Fremonts military districts. The re sults and consequences are fatal alike to the in terests of the country and the usefulness and reputation ol the commanding general. They impeach either his his head or heart, and, so far as he is practically concerned, it is not materi al which ; for whether a wicked or a weak gen eral, fie is unfitted for so great a trust. Nor are these faults, grave as they are, the only ones to which he is obnoxious. The war i 3 being prosecuted by the army under his com mand, in away which recalls and deepens the horrors of vandalism. Without conquering traitors he is converting Union inen into ene mies. His line of march is marked and memo rized by spoliations and ravages which disgrace an age cf civilization. We have a letter dated " Tipton, Mo., October 17," tiom an intelligent, observing, truthful friend, from which we take the following extract : "From Tipton to Warsaw the march was one continuous devastation, without the least regard for priciples or antecedents. One Union man, who had kept five sous ftom joining the seces sion forces, had his place literally gutted, the men cf Asboth's and Sigels divisions killing, on h;s farm alone, forty sheep, three cows, two steers* and stealing eight horses. The cavalry galloped over prair'es lassoing mules and shoot ing oxen, sheep and hogs, then chucked them into their already overloaded wagons. There is scarcely a feathered biped left within five miles on either side of their march; not a whole looking-glass or an unnfled bureau or blanket that has not been seized. For all this there is no excuse, the army having an abundance of provisions and stores. "The army has now reached Warsaw and icrn aUvance no further , and never was inten ded to advance further. Price and his army are '.o-day more than seventy miles ahead of ours. Fremont does not expect, and never did expect to oveofake him. "Let the least disaster happen to us in front, and not a man will ever return to tell the story —for WP shall have left behind us a maddened, beggared, famishing, frenzied population, in which those who were Union men ten days a*o are to-day our most bitter enemies. Such license adds horrors to the legitimate and unavoidable evils of war. An army that leaves such remembrances along its line of march will be forever execrated. It is sad to record these things of a youthful general, from whose career the~countrv looked for heroism tempered with humanity. But high as our hopes were of Gen. Fremont, we cannot afford, when—whether from fault or misfortune—so much depends on the wisdom and intecri'y of generals, to be decerved. I am, by the force of evidence which cannot be resis ted, constrained to admit that he has signally tailed to discharge, with usefulness to the coun try, or credit to himself, the duties of his sta tion. OTFThnre are two classes of men generally in the wrong. Those who don't know enough, and those who know too much. j TUASKSGIYIXG IX PENNSYLVANIA. Pennsylvania, ss.
