THE LATEST WAR NEWS.
The excitement in relation to the reported reme
lt-al of Gen. Fremont has been renewed, and we
again have a' series of conillaing statements; some
averting that orders have been issued for his depo
sition, and others denying that allegation. An at
tempt is being made to create the impression that
if he is removed, the real cause will be his anti
slavery proclamation, but this opinion is dearly
erroneous. Thurlow Weed writes to the Altemy
Evening four»at what he terms a "statement of
fate" in regard to Fremont's conduct; which
says:
He bas appointed and commissioned, without the
shadow of authority, more than fifty officers, with
the rank of colonel, lieutenant colonel, make, cap
tain, kn.., ke_ CuL Andrews, the United States
paymaster". was required to pay these racers: and
upon his refusal to do so was threatened with im
prisonment. 21e was also directed to make an
illegal transfer of $lOO,OOO.
The officers belonging to Fremont's itnif are into•

is a partner of Colonel Degruf in mule, hay, and
othevontracts.
Capt. Turnly, a United States commissary, was
ordered to receive and pay exorbitant prices for
inferior. MOO, from Cept. Haskafl, anti upon pro
testing against this wrong, was ordered away from
the post by Gen. Fremont.
Capt. E. M. Delis, of Gen. Fremont's staff, re
ceived a contract for blankets; which, on delivery.
proved rotten and worthless, and though condemned
were paid for and sent to the hospitais.
The muskets purchased by Gen. Fremont, in
France, are worthless.
After Gen. Meigs limited the price to he paid for
oats at 30 cents, corn at 23, and hay at $17.50, a
contract was outdo with Baird and PaheeP(PAlster,
Cook, & Co., of California notoriety) at 33 cents for
oats, 30 for corn. and $l9 for hay, amounting in the
aggregate to $lOO,OOO.
Gen. Fremont, on his arrival at St. Louis, was
Met b - the Aid of Gra. Lyon, enoompanicil by Maj.
Phelps, M. C., asking for reinforcements, which
were not sent.
The indebtedness of the quartemaster's depart
ment, for Gen. Fremonec - command, it; over four
millianm end n hell!
This disastrous condition of things is attributable
to the " malign influences " of Californians with
whom Gen. Fremont became unfortunately con
nected in mining operations, and who hurried from
the Peg& on le.arnmg that he was entrusted with
a high military command. These ill-omened men,
some or all of whom left a dark record in Califor
nia, seem to have obtained either a voluntary or
constrained control of the tinartermaster and eom
miasary, departments of Gen. Fremoneft military
district. The results and consequences are fatal
alike to the interests of the country and the useful
ness and reputation of the commanding general.
They impeach either his head or his heart. and, so
far as-he is practically concerned. it is not material
-which. for, Whether a wicked or a weak general,
he 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 is
being prosecuted by the army under his command
in a way which roans. and deepens the horrors of
vandalism. Without conquering traitors, he is con
verting Union men into enemies. His line of march
is marked and memorized by spoliations and ra
vages which disgrace an age of e irilization.
The Chicago Ttifin»r, ajournal whose ultra anti ,
slavery tendencies are well known, bitterly de
nounces the manner in which Fremont has managed
the campaign in Missouri. It attributes the sacri
fice of then. - Lyon ton "jealous incompetency which
withheld the reinforcements he asked ; - 7 contends
that the retreat of Price might have been prevented
if suitable measures bad been adopted, and says
that the successful inroad and successful retreat of
that rebel Itcaerat will probably close the campaign
in Western Missouri, "unless the newborn im
petuosity of his pursuers, still at a respectful dis
tance in his rear, leads them into a position from
which extrication will be impossible, then, at the
beginning of winter, and at the end or a
that opened most auspiciously for the Union cause
in that State, we sway be compelled to announce
another and still more disastrous defeat, and the
loss of ten thousand men, who will crown Price's
rebellious efforts in the West."
These are grave accusations, and possibly may
be unjust, but they suffice to prove that if General
Fremont is superseded it will be for causes altoge
ther unconnected with the slavery question.
some excitement was created yesterday by the
rumor that the secrets of the Naval Expedition had
been betrayed by the private secretary of Commo
dore/Input, or HMO War porgo, Maw Torii
Evening- rum' of yesterday, in commenting upon
this report, says:
" Our own correspondent with the naval exp 944-
Con mentions, incidentally, as a matter of — small
importance, that a master's mate on one of the
ships. a crazy fellow. had suddenly disappeared.
and it was feared he had. in a moment of temporary
aberration of mind, wandered beyond our lines,
where he would be shot by the enemy_
We suppose this is the ground of fact on which
thn Tribunv's alarming rumor is founded.

tary of the Navy, had in his pocket the." seated
ordehi of the Conissetloreu at the Very time this
mythical private secretary is reported to have ran
away with them, there is, perhaps, no cause for
alarm. Besides, if Jef f erson Davis had not learned
the destination of the fleet before this time,_he will
learn it too late to derive any material advantage
from the knowledge.'
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial.
in describing the. hate bat* at Wildcat, Ky., un
der date of Oct_ •%, says :
The loss of the enemy is not yet known, but it
was Telly severe. Our men buried dd rebels whose
bodies they found on the field, and picked up some
of their wounded. The people beyond . Wildcat
say that Zollieoffer admits a loss of 80 killed. Our

guns and navy revolvers for cavalry. A coaeide
rabic quantity of muskets, shot-guns, and pistols
were gathered on the battle field, and several
swords were found. It is said that a rebel colonel
and a captain 'were killed."
A correspondent of the same journal, writing
from Louisville, says that a strong opposition party
exists -among the rebels. It is bitterly hostile to
the movement against Kentucky, which is a gross
violation of the-se-called States-Rights principles
of the Secessionists. He says :
" The invasion of Kentucky gave the party of
Governor Brown, of Georgia, a fresh start. The
Dtraists had the honesty to say Kentneky.had the
right to choose for hermit', end shoeld hors boon
respected whatever choice ehe may have made;
that if misled it was for time and her own efforts to
bring her back. These doctrines were poti'erful
ones whispered in the earsof the army. The in
linenes inched the Potomac army and infected it.
The Georgia troops positively refused to invade
Kentucky. They had come, they said, at the call of
Virginia ; they were ready to go at the call of the
Governorefldiamnri, or at the call of the Governor
of Kentucky, but not, to subjugate the men who, in
opposition to theAluslilieniste, (as they call all the
North," they had - called brothers. They look on
Kentucky as, and they call her, a sister State—on
those of the North as free States. The South Caro
lina soldiers swore they would throw down their
arms first, - and other _demonstrations 'were
made hy other troops so alarming that Dimas has
been forced, in his proclamation, to offer' an excuse
for his ill-advised invasion of Kentucky ; and how
lame and impotent is the conclusion to which his
logic brings bins !"
THE country rings with rumors of treason to
the Union in all quarters—civil, naval, and
military. The New York Tribune .of yester
day prints, under its editorial head, in double
leaded type, the following extraordinary state
ment :
" One of our correspondents with the great naval
expedition writes from Hampton Roads, on Friday
evening last, that he had just been informed, upon
good authority, that the private secretary of Com
modore. Dupont, the commander of the fleet, had
absconded, carrying with him the maps and charts,
and even the sealed.orders of the Commodore. We
do not !vouch for the truth of this report, but only
for the fact that the writer is one worthy of credence.
It certainly would not boasts/wising_ eonsidering tho
amount of treason which has attended the.move.
'netts of our forces hitherto, should another confi
dential servant of the Government prove to have
been a traitor. We hope, however, to heitr that
the report is erroneous."
With the Tribune, we hope that the reportb
erroneous, inasmuch as if confirmed it will
seriously involve many of those who have
bees loudest in late professions in favor of the
4suutry ; but there is no doubt that many or
these rumors originate in honest suspicions:
WE atm .Torry to record the death of Colonel
Thomas Lloyd ; which took place at his real
&rice, Ulf Willlstutpert, Lysaming minty, oh
Sunday last. CZlonel Lloyd has held frequent offi
ces of public trust. He was sheriff of Lycoming
county, member of the General Assemhly, Super
visor of the West Branch Division of the Pennsylva
nia Claud, and for a great number of years was the
cashier of the West Branch Bank ; in all of which
he performed his part-so well, that neither the State
nor any corporation ever lost one cent during the
time he aduiiniittred their affairs. He was too a
generous, whole aouled man, and hir death will be
lamented by many aoquaintances and friends, who
were not connected with his immediate family
circle.
People's, Literary Institute.
The tinnnal course of lectures delivered under
the auspices of this popular literary society is an
nounced to commence on next Thursday evening,
the opening lecture of the course to. be _delivered
by Bet:. Heiry,Warti Beecher, on War." For
,several yeafs pa the lecture•going public have
been hidateil to this organization of well-known
gentlemen for thu best annual aeries of lectures
given in Philadelphia, and from the character of
their programme•of names. for the coming c our s e ,
its entire success may be safely predicted. Besides
Mr. Beecher, the names of Dr. Chapin, Dr. Storrs,
Mr. E. P, Whipple, and Mr. W, ctirtis are men
tioned. Hon. Charles Sumner will probably be in
cluded in the list. The subjects of the lectures, a s
far as ascertained, will be appropriate to the times.
Ir Major General FlttMoxi has been re
moved by the President of the United States
front the deitartment of Missouri and Ken
tucky, this act cannot be charged, by any
honest construction, to General FaEstoxr's
peculiar opinions on the subject of slavery.
General FEEMONT remained at the head Of, his
division after the President had modified his
proclamation. The President was only moved
to institute an investigation into the mili
tary administration of General Pitestost,
by the persistent accusations that he had
displayed extravagance; favoritism, and
looseness in the disbursement of the pub
lic, moneys, and, in order to show his
sincerity, no less than four important com
missions have gone to Missouri, either di
rectly with the President's sanction or by his
order. These were—first, Postmaster Qeueral
Brant attfi Quartermaster General MEtes;
second, Secretary. of War CAMERON and Ad
jutant General Tomas third, the members
of the Investigating Committee of the House,
raised on the motion of lion. Mr. VAN WYCE,
of New York,-to inquire into corrupt contracts
made in the several departments; and fourth,
the confidential friend of the President him
self, Hon. DAVID DAVIS, of Quincy, Illinois.
It must be borne in mind that in no single case
has any One of these commissions been actuated
by any hostility to Gen. FREMONT because
of his peculiar opinions on the subject of sla
very—certainly not Postmaster General BLAIR,
who has always been quoted as rather an Abo
litionist than otherwise ; nor Secretary CAM.
RON, who is known to have been the early
friend of General FREMONT; nor Quartermaster
General MEms and Adjutant General THOMAS,
because both being' military men they had
nothing to do with the politics of liiajorGene
ral FREIIOiT. Assuredly not Mr. VAN WPM:
-and his Northern associates, who are Republi
cans of the FREMONT school; and as to Judge
DAVIs, of Illinois, he being the intimate friend
of the President, would never consent to as-
L:ist in breaking dawn a military leader who
had been his political and personal. favorite in
MO. We recur to these facts for the purpose
of deploring the effort now making on the part
of some who call Yhennselves the friends of
the Administration, and who are resolved to
charge the removal of Ficatexr to political
opposition to him by the President and his
Cabinet. If displaced, he has been displaced
simply and alone because the objections raised
against him in regard to his disbursement of
the public funds have been sistained by the
four important and responsible commissions
alluded to, We believe when the Presi
dent modified the proclamation of Gene
ral FRI:3IONT he acted upon the most
patriotic motives, and the tribute 'thus
paid to the loyal men of Kentucky and Mis
souri has been vindicated by their subsequent
constancy and courage. General FREMONT
himself accepted this construction of his pro
clamation, and - obeyed it by remaining in com
mand. Is it not, therefore, most unjust on
the part of any man pretending to be the
friend of the Administration and. the war to
create divisions among the supporters of both
by trying to charge the removal of FREMONT
to a cause entirely different from that which
actuated the President and the Administra
tion ?
LETTER FROM " OCCASIONAL."I
WASHINGTON, OCt. 23, 1861.
Patience is a great conservative element.
If we had been a little - more patient we should
not have failed at Manassas ; if we bad been
less patient our cause would not challenge the
admiration and respect of the civilized world.
It was the forbearance of Mr. Lincoln's Ad
ministration, compt;lsgr} in 4119 ISQRSei
- tary in another, which crushed out faction in
the free States; and, even if this gave time
and opportunity to treason in the South, it
also demoralized it at home, by proving its
monstrous injustice to reasonable and right.
judging men. The impatient and impulsive
character of the rebellion, like a man who
loses his temper in a conflict with a cool op
ponent, will prove to be incalculably beneficial
to the Federal arms. Grant that the—first
blows of the rebel troops have been effective,
we have the splendid consolation that those
who have dealt them have grown weaker -from
their wild and maddening exertions, and that
those who have received them have collected
prudence and strength from the experience.
The itdVocates or - me - so-caned - --slummy-vat
hytlttgnt lAil§lM 7 " and the " Oh to Rlchmend",
gentlemen, as they behold the great army
gathered under McClellan—now confessedly
more than two hundred thousand strong—ad
mit that when that column moves its demon
strations will be irresistible if slow at first,
and its progress unerring if gmdually forward.
The Secession leaders no longer pretend to
conceal froth the people of the South the in
curable disease preying upon the vitals of the
Confederacy. , The theory—Often set forth in
this correspondence—that the whole rebel ex-
periment would be a calamitous failure, is at
last reluctantly accepted by the rebel 'chiefs,
and confirmed by daily events. The Southern
newspapers, with scarcely an exception,
mingle their rejoicings over the early victo
ries of the rebel troop with bitter reproaches
of the rebel administration, and candid con
fessions as to the sufferings of their people, and
the rapid diminution of almost all the supplies
essential to the prosecution of the war, and
the existence of their non-cOmbatant popula
tion. Mr. Nemminger, the Confederate Secre
tary of the Treasury, gives a doleful account
of the present and prospective financial con
dition:of his Government. What an appalling
picture is disclosed in the following extract
from one of his last communications—being a
letter in reply to the cotton planters :
gf It would appear that the planters, seriously
oppressed as they are by the blockade, have ap
pealed to the Government either to purchase the
entire cotton crop of the year, or to make an :ad
vance upon its hypothecated value. To both of
these proposals Mr. Momminf e er declines to accede,
remarking, at the same time, that they demand
that a new Government, yet struggling for exist
ence, should reject all lessons of experience, and
undertake that which no Government, however
long established, has yet succeeded in effecting ,'
and the eXperimest, he says, is proposed, more
! over, to a Government engaged in a gigantic war,
whose enemies are in possession of all the mini
: lions and workshops that have been collected
during forty-five years of peace, whose fleets have
been built up at the joint expense of both North
and South ; who, with all these on hand, are'noixt
pulled to spend nearly ten millions per week to
i. carry on the war.; and can we,'. says Mr. Mom
: winger, 'expect to contend with them at less than
half that expenditure ?' He reminds the planters,
further 7 that it is not their notes and bonds,nor
their prodsee, which the 'Government requires,
but money, which is essential to its existence. , He
declares the experiment of increasing the liability,
and thus damaging the credit of the Government,
is too dangerous a one to do tried for the further
enee of any interest even that of setten and ha
very plainly tells the planters that they mnst seek
relief elsewhere. 'Let the planters,' he says di
vert their labor from.potton, and take measures
for the supply of wintbr crops.' He recommends
the increased cultivation of grain, and other
agricultural products, and points to the money
capital in bankti and private hands as a ready re-
•
source." • •
If this is the report - . of the rebel Secretary
of the . Treasury, what must be the report of
the rebel Secretary of War ? If there is no
money in the locker, how can the head of the
family gOto market? If his own people will
not trust him, how can the President borrow
from strangers ? It is easy for Mr. Cobb, Mr.
Toombs, Mr. Slidell, Mr. Hunter, and Mr.
Jefferson Davis, to refuse their salaries as an
example to troops who get no pay. I looks
well for So./Ahern gentlemen to-- tell.-their
guests at dinner that the absence of luxuries
is a proof that they are ready to submit to any
privations for the sake of their country. It is
a poetic spectacle to see Southern ladies dis
carding silks, wearing linsey-Woolsey, and
weaving socks and making shirts for their
fighting fathers, sons, brothers, and lovers.
It is a patriotic thing for an editor to print a
viper for people who cannot pay their sub
scriptions, much less advertise what they
have not to sell. It is pleasant for a Govern
ment that boasts of the kingdom of cotton to
be without a navy to carry cotton to nuirket.
It is a morally -sublime reflection, too, that
while all these cheerful sacrifices are making,
they are made for a cause in itself a scanda
lous violation of all honor, faith, law, and
gratitude. If we pursue this thought, we
find that the Southern people have paid these
costly tributes to their betrayers during the
summer montlisovhen they maintained com
munications of some sort. each State with
the other, and were enabled to receive from
foreign ports many of the essentials required
for their joint subsistence.
But what of 4he Mute ? The answer is to
be found in the letter of Mr. Momminger to
the cotton planters, in the angry or despair
ing language of the Southern newspapers, and
in the no-longer suppressed reproaches of
thousands of plundered and down-trodden
men, women, and children. Thus is Northern

Federal Government is going forth, not only
to make the blockade vigorously close, but to

But we have many proofs not only of discomz
tent among the Southern masses, growing out
of the causes alluded to, but of a reawakened
spirit of devotion to the aid, regular, benefi

meetings are held wherever the flag of the
Union Is raised. As soon as the strength of
our army is demonstrated, the rebel reign of
terror is broken, and thousands avow them
selves heart-sick of the whole Secession usur
pation. I contend that we arc indebted
for this state of affairs more to the mo
deration and caution of our rulers than,
if possible, to the prowess of our armies.

Lincoln found the Government almost bank
rupted, as well as disgraced, deserted, and be
trayed. He had to make the tools before he
began to Work; to build up what had been
torn down ; to borrow money to replace
that which had been stolen ; to encourage
a dispirited people ; to ferret out treason,
and to take no,step without care, in the midst
of a crisis abounding in unknown perils and
beset by 'secret and savage foes. Our strength
is now as well assured as the weakness of our
enemy. We may look forward with proud
hope, if not to a speedy peace, at least to such
a change as will compel the surrender of the
malignants who raised the Secession banner.

portion of their troops from that point, and order
them to their batteries at the terminps of the rail
way at Acquia Creek, where they anticipate an
attack from a squadron of our fleet, and from
whence they can send troops along the railway
to Richmond, in case they find that an attack is to
be made upon Portsmouth, and by the rivers upon
Richmond. Necessity compels them now to keep
their forces as muck as possible upon the line of

EDwAt „. n utt y, bot h remained quiet
during tne night. So trawl were thrown over tiro
river, but those on thUilde heard the rebels on the
opposite side all night, and saw their fires thickly
scattered in the woods along the shore. Their can.
tralizing point was a clump of trees on the bluff,
Where our troops had constructed a picket station,
and near the spot where our artillery shelled theta
during the skirmish on Tuesday last.
When our troops were withdrawn from the Vir
ginia side s on Wednesday, night, the Sixteenth In.
diana, occupying the most advanced and expos
position, were not aware of any withdrawal until
the rest had been successfully ferried over. They
lay upon the cold ground, almost frozen, with
loaded markets in their hands, every moment ex ,
pectinvt furious and overpowering assault from a
Otiacealed and reinforced enemy, whose numbers
were known to exceed our own by many thousands,
yet the only murmurs uttered by these hardy NU
of the Northwest were at the orders to retire with
out disputing the ground, inch by inch, with their
adversaries. Slowly and mutteringly they retired
to tha pleas of embarkatian, plating up and load
ing themselves down with the knapsacks, canteens,
guns, and equipments, left there by others who had
retired before them.
The regiment likewise brought with thorn two
prisoners—the owner of the mill on Goose Creek,
with his son, who it was charged had prepared com
bustibles to fire the bridge over Goose Creek, but
were prevented from carrying their plan into exe
cution by the sudden descent upon the bridge by
our skirmishers.
The officer of the night, Capt. Collis, of the
Zouaves d'Afrique, had a prolonged conversation
with a prisoner of war, a very intelligent gentle
man, a non-commissioned officer of one of the Mis
sissippi regiments, engaged in the affair of Ball's
Bluff. He left Leesburg on Sunday night, when
there were but five regiments there. There were
no defensible works at Leesburg, but every ap
proach was fortified commanding the river and land
routes.
This prisoner was astonished to learn that our
aresy was not almost entirely composed of Abe
litionists and radical Republicans, and that our
main object was other than to emancipate slavery
throughout the South. Ile said, if the fact were
generally known to the working people of the South
that our sole object was to sustain the Government
and preserve the Union intact, there would be a re
volution in the rebel army. and peace restored. He
was surprised beyond measure to be assured that
Breekinxidge Democrats constituted a large com
ponent of the army.
Capt. Vaughan, of the Rhode Island battery,
who went over with a flag of truce, has returned.
Ile was captured by a party who did not under
stand the law of nations, but was released by"the
military authorities when the fact became known
to them.
OCCASIONAL.
DAttRItInoWY, Oat. 27.—Tliyao bitgadas of Gen.
Baas' division left lawards' Ferry yesterday
forhnoon, and arrived in this vicinity last night.
A sufficient force remains at and near the Ferry
to insure safety against any attempt of the rebels
to cross or molest us.
Before leaving yesterday forenoon, the rebel
pickets thickly lined the opposite shore, and taunted
our men with their "attempt to invade Virginia,"
and begging them to come over and pay them an
other visit.
The division will remain here over the Sabbath.
Of its future movements nothing is known, except
to the staff.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—Accounts from Dunes
town state that arrivals from the Monocacy and
the scene of the recent battle below show that all
was quiet there yesterday. The enemy's pickets
frequent the - Virginia shore of the Potomac, and
occasionally send a leaden compliment to our pick
ets on this side; but no serious casualties have
occurred.
The question has boon asked why Gen. I.llllllBr
was absent from his brigade at the battle of Bali's
Bluff, in which one of his regiments, the Twentieth
Massachusetts, participated. He was in Washing
ton at dm time, under optoial ordure from trio
vernment. On hearing of the engagement, he im
mediately proceeded to Poolesville, and took part
in the action the next day at Edwards' Ferry,
where be did good service, for which he has been
complimented by the commanding general. He
now lies wounded at his quarters in Washington.
In Gen. 111oCLELLares order, signed by Adjutant
General WILLTAna, a high compliMent is paid to
the soldiers under Gen. STONE, for their bravery in
the late engagement, but no allusion is made to the
general in command, C.P. Eeroms—an omission of
remarkable significance.
Ittiportitut Movement Frustrated.
It is said, on good authority, that Ben. McOL-EL
LAN had resolved upon
_a movement upon Lees
burg, in which he has been most unfortunately de
feated by the injudicious advance of lien. STONVE.
06f1; hicOLELLAN , s plan wag this: He sederod
Gen. MCCALL to reconnoitre from Drainville to
wards Leesburg ; Gen. Brown from Edwards' Ferry
towards thesame point ; - and if the reports brought
• •
_ t _tavorabli,o Gen ! MCCALL was to move
VW; the irginiti aide, xliiilo (lelle ru.tt£sarnotZt
from tiro river. MCCALL performed his duty, and
returned to quarters lii-row, in making hit recon
noissance, saw thirty rebels, an insignificant num
ber, which he proposed to capture, snit gave
to that effeet but lit the in4veraant tb
do so, he discovered that the number - had beau
slightly increased. To meet this inekesse, he
strengthened his reconnoitering party—.'stilt, with
zw intention of inviting Or even expecting *general
engagement. - But the pursuit of these led to the
discovery of more rebel troops. At this juncture
he found, himself involved in the pr4ect of an
engagement, and strengthened himself accordingly.
In this way, as I inn informed within the circle of
the departments here, he was brought into that en
gagement, which has resulted in the defeat of his
men, and in the breaking up of well-laid plan
for a decisive and glorious victory to our arms.
The rerun has been terribly aggravating to. the
- conimander of the army of the Potoma43. der
however, makes the best of it, and is now arranging
his cards for a move in another direction, as confi
dent of a triumphant success as he is that he is in
commaed of the army.
Review of General McCall's Division.
• There was another grand review of General Mc-
CALL'S flivision to-day. General MCCLELLAN with

ciency in drill, and were complimented by their
officers for their soldierly appearance.
The Pennsylvania Reserves have made remarka
ble proiress since they have been collected under
the command of lien. McCaw... Diligently have
they been drilled since their arrival here, and their
evolutions have the precision of those of the uter
army. With their new imiforms they make's mast
attractive appearance. They iredevotedlyattacited

The Caseof Col. Einstein—His Protest.
The case of Col. EINSTR/N, of the Twenty-seventh
Pennsylvania Regiment, bide fair to excite much
attention. The following order was handed him by
the Assistant Adjutant General :
ADJUTANT GENDRAL'S OFFICE,
WASHINGTON, Oet. 22, 1861.
MIK Ent gcvni ,
Late Colonel Pennsylvania, Twenty-seventh
Voluniterx :
SIR : I nm directed to inform you that, in obe
dience to instractiona from the lion. Secretary of
War. you were on the 2d instant mustered out of
the service of the United States as Colonel of the
Twenty-seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obd't serv't,
Gco. D. Icrwor.ws,
Assistant Adjutant General.
Colonel EINSTEIN Sap thatho called on Secretary
Camanox and showed him this document. Secre
tary CAMERON, according to what the Colonel says,
disclaimed haring any-knowledge of it. This
morning ; Col. EINSTEIN sent in the following pro
test to the War Department:
Hon ;Simon oameron, Secretary of War :
fast : Haying been mustered out of the service
of the 'United Slates without cause. I desire to pre
sent this, my solemn protest to the action of the Ge
neral Government, and therefore take the liberty
of recapitulating to you the numerous circumstan
ces under which am disabled. I was mustered
into the service Of the United States in the Twenty
seventh Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, on
the 10th day of August last, and brought
to its service 1,064 men, rank and file. After
the battle of Bull Run, and when I had per.
formed my entire duty, as I believed,
and still believe, for I stood at my post, with
out deserting my country's flag, for some
thing unknown to tee, by orders of commanding
officers, I was placed under arrest. The charges
and specifications of that arrest have never been
served on me, and I am ignorant of their nature.
In this condition I was kept at camp until the 21st
day of September, when I was ordered under said
arrest to the city of Washington. On the 6th day
of °debar, inel, on application to the paymaster's
office for my pay, I was apprised by a clerk (Mr.
Brooks) that I had been mustered out of the ser
vice of the United States on the 2d of this month.
This is the only notice I received of the notion .of
the Government, until the 26th day of Ooto •
bar, lasi, when the efilcial tcpy, hereto an
nexed, and marked A, was presented to me by the
Assistant. Adjutant General, at his office. Not un
derstanding what offence I had been guilty of, if
any, justice to myself demands that I should address
your Department, from whence this order emanated,
for a satisfactory solution of the enigma ; and I
Cann& but believe that your patriotism and honor
will see me fully justified. It is well known that,
in the country's hour of peril, I sacrificed my all to
respond with, alacrity to its call—deserting family,
business, and business prospects, to be foremost
amongst our flag's defenders. I had not, however, an
ticipated that, with the readiness thus evinced by me,
and the great pecuniary expenditure then made, that
I should be summarily dismissed without the common
of a heating, end I bow &tire to aele of the
Department that the only legacy I can leave to my
children—that of fair fame—shall not. be thus im
properly taken from them. If denied to me, that
your Department will order an investigation in my
case, that they, the world, and myself, shall not
rest in unexplahicd doubt, and that the record in
my cnsa shall be full: ample, and satisfactory.
I remain your oianlient servant,
With highest consideration of esteem,

EARL RUSSELL ON THE AMERICAN WAR.
A grand banquet had been given to Earl Russell,
at Newcastle-upon-Tyne. In the course of the
speech which his Lordship made upon the occasion,
ho alluded us follows to the state of affairs in
America :
44 Let us leek for a moment at another pant of
the world, at another country, which, for my part,
I have also observed with the greatest intergt--
the United States of America. It appears to me
that it would be a great misfortune to the world if
that experiment in free government, which, though
not carried NA on exactly the same principles an
our own, was conducted on principles which had
been devised with groat wisdom—it would be, I
say, a very great misfortune if anything were to
happen to that State. [Cheers. ] I am sorry to
any that those events have happenecl, pHd yfe &my
see two parties contending together, not upon
the yillbstion of slavery—though that, I believe,
is the original cause of the conflict—not contend
ing with respect to free trade aml protection,
but contending as so many States of the old world
have contended-the one side for empire and the
other for power. Far be it from us to set ourselves
up as judges in this matter ; but I cannot help ask
ing myself, as affairs progress in the contest, to
what good end can it lead? Supposing this contest
ended by the reunion, of its different ;
that the South should agree to enter again with
all the rights of the Constitution ; should
we not again have that fatal subject of slavery,
brought in along with them—[hurrahl—that
slavery which, no doubt, caused the disruption,
and which lire all ogres Nom or later,
cease from the face of the earth. [Cheers.] Well
then, gentlemen, as you will see, if this quarrel
could be made up, should we not have those who
differed with Mr. Lincoln at the last election car
ried at the next, and thus the quarrel would re
commence, and, perhaps, a long civil war follow.
ff On the other hand, supposing the United States
competent to conquer and subdue the Southern
States ; supposing that should be the result of along
military conflict ; supposing that that should be tho
fault of seine years of Civil war, should we - not
have the material prosperity of that country in a
great degree destroyed ? should we see that respect
for liberty which has so long distinguished our
North American brethren? [Cheers.] Would not
the Koith be ileeeesilated -to keep in subjection
those who ;ma been conquered; and would not
that very materially interfere with the freedom of
nations? [Cheers.] And if that should be the
unhappy result to which we at present look for
at 41—if by MeidiS such as these t.he ieiialou of
should be brought about, is it not the duty
of these men who have embraced the precepts of
Christianity to see whether this conflict cannot he
avoided? Gentlemen, I have made these obser
trillions to you upon matters, as I hare said,
deeply affecting to us all, but not matters in which
the Government of this country has any immedi
ate"
power, or, indeed, any immediate interest.
Had they been eases of that kind, it would not have
been consistent with my duty as Foreign Secretary
to have spoken to yell in detail on such subjects.
But, with regard to the duties attaching to my of
fice, lean only point out to you, if it is at all neces
sary to point out, that the world disturbed by asser
tions of nationality on the one hand. and by assertions
of authority on the other, by conflicts anti disturb
ances °cue rring almost daily in some parts of Europe,
as well as in America—l - cheers - I—in these cases, it
is the duty of the Foreign Minister of this coun
try, it is the duty of the head of the Government
of this country to watch closely as to what happens,
to respect the independence of all foreign nations ;
but not to let go any part of that caution and vigi
lance which becomes the ministers of England at
this time; not to impair any part of the influence
of this country, because that influence may he
used in the cause of freedom and humanity, [hear
and cheers] ; not to lower in any respect the puwer
of this country, because that power may be abso
lutely necessary to preserve the freedom of Europe.

guard our own dignity and fraction],"
