The .Fremont Imbroglio. We litid intended to not say one word jii tho subject of the Fremont troubles but justice to the administration compel us. We know that Dr. John told ovci the County that Fremont would be sus tained ; we sea a set of Republican news papers denouncing the President for re moving him ; and we desiro to put the facts before tho people and show them that Mr. Lincoln ii light, lie will be cordially sustained by the people. Let the abolitionists howl ! The Chambers burg Vallnj Spirit says ; " There is one peculiarity about the conduct of certain Republican papers, in these war times, that might afford us tome ainuscuieut was it not dictated by so mueh malignancy. Whenever a Democratic journal denounced any of the many blun ders committed by our commanding Gen erals, or tho innumerable villainies of Ar my Contractors, these patiiotic Republican papers forthwith vent their virtuous indig nation on our devoted heads without stint or mercy. The mob spirit is invoked to put us down, we are threatened with 'oss of patronage by certain patriotic individu als, and their friends, interested in rontracts or hunting after petty government offices, the terms 'traitor' aud 'peccssionist' arc freely applied to us u all prudent occa sions ; aud all this for merely SDcaking a good look at it and then continue to denounce u, for denouncing General Fre mont, to their hearts content : " From the Evening Journal. General Fremont. Washington, Oct. SO " Since it cannot be concealed or denied that Gen. Fremont's conduct in Missjuri has been the subject of official inquiry, as is now the occasion of Executive vitupci ation and of popular solicitude, 1 have made it my business to obtain, from vari ous but reliable sources, information from which the people, as iurcrs, may safely render a verdict. On coining, as 1 hive, to a conclusion unfavorable to Gen. Fremont, it is scarcely needful to say that I had, in doing so, to 'conquer' my 'prejudices.' My relations to Gen. Fremont bao been intimate and pleasant. I believed him eminently up right and patriotic. I thought him well fitted for the high command with which he was invested ; and ho went forth with my heartfelt aspiration that he would render good service to our country and win E'ry to himself. Passing much that might bo said, im puguiiig the sense and taetu of Gen. Fre mont, and confining mytelf to aceuaiions undeniably true, I submit to the renders of the Jutumit some facts which will show tlicm bow lamentably a favored general diappoint- the popular expectation : When (Jen. Fremont reached St. Louis, he took as his headquarters a home fur which the Government is pajing SO,000 a year. lie surrounded himself with a numerous staff, none uf whom wcro resident-, of Mis souri, organizing, iimultaucously, a body guard, consisting of nearly three hundred horsemen, through which ncce-u to the chief is m difficult as the approach to a monarch in tho d-irkutt aes of dopotmi. He has appointed ami commissioned, without th'i Miadow oi authority, more than fifty officer.:, with t.ie rank oi colouel, lieutenant colonel, major captain, .Vc. uoi, uiurows, mc umti.u ctat.'S paymas ter, was required to pay these officers, and upon his refusal to do so was threatened with imprisonment, lie was abo directed to make an illegal tramt'er of Sli O,nu. The officers belonging to Gen. Fremont s staff are intereited in armv contracts. Captain Uaskill, an aid, is a partner of j ;iet ou that uoionei jsegrai m mule, hay aud otner contract;. Captain Tcrnly, a United State3 com missary, was ordered to receive and pay exhorbitaut prices fcr inferior mules, from Capt. Ilaskall, and upon protesting against this wrong, was ordered away from tho post by Gen. Fremont. Captain K. M. liayis, of Ocn. Fremont's staff, received a contract for blankets, which, on delivery, proved rotton end worthless, and though condemned, wore psid for and sent to the hospitals. Tho muskets purchased by Gen. Fre mont, in Franco, are worthless. After Gen. Meigs limited the prices to bo paid for cats atDOc, enm 2Sc, hay at 817,- au a contract was matte with Jttird & rai nier (Palmer, Cook k Co., ot California C ,,nni'!i'lvl nt .lie fur ftitj :l(l fnr roau. or blanket that has not been seized. For all t,liis there is no excuse, the army having an abundance of provisions and stores. The army has now reached Warsaw and can advance ne further, aud nnw was intended to advance juilhir. Price and his army are to-day moro than soven ty miles ahead of ours. Fremont docs not oxpeet, and never did cspcet to overtake him. " Let the least disaster happen to us in front, and not a man will ever nturu tn tell tho story for we shall have left be hind us a maddened, beggared, famishing, frenzied population, in which those who were Union n:cu ten days ago, are to day our most bitter enemies." Such license adds horrors to the legiti mate and unavoidable evils of war. An army that leayes such remembrances along its lino of march will bo forever ezecratctl. It is sad to record these thing-) of a youthful general, from whoso career the country looked for heroism tempered with humanity. Rut high as our hopos were of Gen. Fremont, wo cannot afford, when whether from fault or misfortune so much 1 depends on tho wisdom and integrity of i generals, to bo deceived. I am, by the force of evidence which cannot be resisted, ; constrained to admit that ho has signally failed to discharge, with usefulness to tho ! country, or credit to himself, tho duties of . kis station." !

The streets of every city and village were ablaze with tho torches ef their Wido-Awako processions. Democrats were depressed and disheartened. Defeat stared them in tho faco as a party, and they saw with gloomy forb. lings the pro monitions of danger to the Union. What was the language of both parties at this time, and how docs it now look in tho light of experience and existing facts ? The Republicans promised unexampled prosperity as the result of their success. They treated tho idea of danger to the "Unionists," All lovers of 1mt, order aud good Gov crnmont, in short, all true patriots, rcacl tho announcement with feelings of eorrovr and regret.
