Mr Swigs of Indiana noticed that part of
the report with, reference to Gen. Fremont, and
said that the committee had not ae fully loves
tigated as they should have done his mili
tary operations in the west. A combina
tion had been formed against that just and
good - man to destroy him, and if they
could not do that to involve him in diaaa
ter. He defended General Fremont generally.
The charge of inefficiency was too shallow to
deceive any body, more especially the western
people, and be proceeded to show that the al
legation was totally unfounded. He alluded
to former events when the city of Washington
was trembling in fear of rebel victorious armies
and when full supplies and equipments were
sent hither. It was nut so in the west. In vain
Fremont asked for men and stores. These not
being supplied he was compelled on his own
responsibility to make such arrangements
as would save the people whom he was sent to
protect. When Fremout went to the West
there were ',only thirty-five thousand troops,
ten thousand of them three months men and
their time fast expiring. As to arms, he could
pet only what the holders were willing to let
him have on his own credit, and the Govern
ment was now refusing to pay for the supplies
thus authorized. He paved the way for ocher
men to reap the 'victories. Fremont was al
ways successful when pursuing the dictates of
his own judgment.
Mr. Simms then reviewed the circumstances
under which Fremont was relieved from his com
mend which was not until twenty-six days af
ter the order was issued, and that too at a
time when Fremont had a well appointed army
to meet General Price. He alluded at length
to the - annoyance to which Fremont was
subjected, and especially at the time
when be was in the pursuit of Price, which
was prevented by the arrival of Hunter
and Pope, but for this, Tennessee would have
long before been in oar possession. Fremont
was removed because the slave power demand
ed it He criticised the report of the cornett-
Itee relative to fortifications at St. Louis. These
be contended were as necessary as those on the
southern side of the - Potomac, which latter
were desired by Scott and M'Clellan, and for
which Congress had voted hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Fremont was only in the depart
ment a hundred days, during which time he
raised his army from fifteen to sixty thousand
men, clothing,- arming and feeding them. Be
sides this, he fortified not only St. Louis, but
distant points, holding military occupation of
nearly the entire State. Mr. Shanks related
the most prominent points in Fremont's opera
tions. The life spirit, labor and success of the
great western campaign are due to Fremont,
and history will give the credit to bim, all com
binations to the contrary notwithstanding.—
The hoar expired before Afr. Shanks bad
concluded his speech, but be obtained per
mission of the House to print the remaining
portion.
Mr. Otte, of New York, said the reputation
of Fremont was at least as dear to him ti 4 it
could be to the gentleman from Indiana him
self. He had made many sacrifices fur Free
,
moot, and would, if be could, have elevated
him to the presidential chair, but he, Mr.
Olin, regretted that the gentleman from In
diana while defending Fremont should cast
imputations upon General Ripley of the
ordnance department. He asserted, without
fear of contradiction, that no man who had
held the position of chief of ordnance, bad
ever brought more energy of heart, and devo
tion to patriotism and the performance of his
duty, than Gen. Ripley. It seemed to him
that, for gentlemen to criticise military affairs
without knowledge of them, was an idle waste
of time.
The House then adjourned.
