JOSEPH HOLT It is surprising that our government permits the eloquent Holt to remain in active, in this trying emergency of our countiy’s existence. Such men are needed, both in council and in the field, and yet he iapermitted to remain in in glorious retirement Because Mr. Holt does not seelc public position, is no rea son why he should not receivo it; but on the Contrary, having madeW> great a mark while in’the Cabinet of the late administration, he should be induced to take a prominent part in the great drama which our country is now enact ing. 'Why is he not in the public ser vice, some where ? Is his ability and genius so transcendent, as to alarm the politicians of the Republican party T How happens it that wo see appoint ments, of a most important character, conferred upon all sorts „of nincom poops, swaggering blatherskites, frothy spouters and brawling swell-heads ;‘nnd such a man as Holt passed by without notice ? It looks very much as if this war was being carried on, simply for the benefit of contractors and politicians.— Here is a man, who, taken all in all, has no equal whom we know of in the United States. Twenty years ago he was the successful competitor of the cele brated S, S. Prentiss, of Mississippi, for oratorical renown, and while heequalled that distinguished gentleman m oratory he far surpassed him both ns a lawyer and an advocate. As a polished and powerful writer we do ifot know his superior, and as an executive officer his management of the complicated details of the Post-office and War Departments, Bhowed him fo be a man of remarkable resources. But what is still better than .all these, is the fact of his being a man of spotless integrity. Were he in the public service there would be no need of Bending Secretary Cameron away to St. Louis, to look into extravagant con tracts with California sharpers; nor would our government refuse, upon his account, to settle some mysterious, though unadjusted balances. The branch of the service over which he would have control, would be conducted honestly,at least. Should tlio general government re main insensible to the necessity of se curing the active services of Mr. Holt, Kentucky can distinguish herself l.y sending him to the United .States Sen ate. Let her give him Breckinridge’s place in that lofty arena, ami he will confer as much lustre upon the proud Commonwealth that tends him, as his predecessor did dishonor. Here would be a “fitness in things,” indeed. And what a magnificent Senator Kentucky would then have? The equal of Clay in the fervency of his patriotism, and the superior of Breckinridge in the ele gance of hiß diction, Mr. Holt would add to the character of the Senate, it self, and remind us of the days when intellects like Webster, Clay, Calhoun and Wright contended for the palm of triumph. FBEMOET GONE AT LAST. A Washington telegram to the N. V Tribune, of Wednesday, contains the fol lowing: “The report made by Adjutant General Thomas of hiß recent examination into the administration of the Department of the West by Major Gonoral From or.'., was this morning considered in full Cabinet meet ing. With the reluctance which hesitates to injure a distinguished man and to wound and disappoint the friends whom a popular leader gathers in his career, all tho mem bers of the Cabinet slowly pronounced their judgments that the interests of Mis sourl and of tho Union required that Gen. Jfremont should be superseded in his com mand by Major General Hunter. The order to thiß effect will bo issued to mor- The public have beon prepared for Fre mont’s removal for some' time; what effect it may produce in and about Missouri is differently estimated. The extreme aDti slavery wing of the Republican party will be furious, while the peoplo of St. Loais will be equally mortified. As evidence of this we select the following extract from a long article in the St. Louis Republican of Tuesday: ‘•That Gen. Fremont was so well aware of our precarious situation, and took his measures accordingly, we,'the loyal citi zens of St. Louis consider a blessing. We rejoice tnat he had sufficient knowledge Of military matters to be aware that bo im> portant a point as St Louis ought.ingt to be left exposed, and that in the absence Of the necessary amount of troops, artificial fortifications must be resorted to, as the on ‘J available, and after all also the cheap er defense. We rejoice that he had suffi cient knowledge of the state of public feeling to know that our city will be threat- S. OD i B uer ri!i& attacks for a long time after the last remnant of the rebel army Shall have been driven from ibn State, and that the Forts, so judiciously erected on the ' outskirts of the city, will be our surest and ' Cheapest protection. From the past neg lect of the Administration, we are sure that St Louis need never expect the neces sary troops for her protection from Wash ington, and thus our only safeguard con sists in these artificial works of defense As long as France had no large standing army, fortresses on her frontier wore a matter, of absolnte necessity for the securi ty of the interior ; when the army, the living defense, was completed, these artifi cial works became a matter of secondary ' Importance. ‘‘Why did General Scotl not advance, front Washington with his raw troops, leaving the Capitol exposed, instead of pre „paring the present extensive and incredibly ..costly works of fortification, while organi a3s ar ”‘y, and quietly allowing the 7 ,oemy to advance and seize all Virginia ?” *!«,' reason? for his removal aroprodigal •expenditures and other acts uot warranted by arm y regulations. His confiscating proclamation, the construction of quarters I for his splendid body guard, the giving of a military reception to Mrs: Fremont on the occasion of her return from Washing ton, the using of an entire steamboat for himself and suite In the Cairo expedition, the neglect to give audience to Governors of Slates that were supplying troops for hi 6 army—all these thingß, with many others not warranted by military practice, woro matters of such public scandal as to seri ously impair the inlluenco and usefulness of a commanding general.. ;OCT. 25, E&'A'a article of ours, headed ‘ Doug, las and Breckinridge,” published a few days ago, intended to expose a few pietenders in Pennsylvania, who are en deavoring to keep themselves politically alive by extravagant expressions of at tachment for the teachings of Senator Douglas, has attracted the attention of ('ol. Forney’s Philadelphia Press. Our Philadelphia cotemporary misappre hends our meaning. We do not object to reverencing the teachings of departed patriots; but we do protest against dem agogues prostituting their teachings to compass infamous designs. For instance —the Philadelphia Press, in tb e late elec tion, could not support Mr, Ewing for Sheriff because he was not a Douglas man in the late Presidential election.— It informed its readers very frequently that lie was a sympathizer with Breck inridge and his treason, and endeavored by this course to defeat him before the people. It is true that Mr. Ewiug had and has two sons in the army, and we understand that one or both of them were wonnded in the servico ; still this important fact never appeared in the Press, but instead of it, an occasional squib throwing suspicion upoa the loy alty of these boys’ father—and all be cause he was not an exclusive Douglas man in 1860. We trust this brief and simple illustrat'on will properly impress our Philadelphia cotcmporary and fur cisli a key to tho meaning of our former article. In order to fortify itself, the Press lias recourse to Shakspeare and quotes from HeDry the Fifth, to prove the propriety and efficacy of our occasionally consult ing the teachings of departed greatness. We can have no controversy upon this point. It is a good thing to frequently peruse their teaching, in the hope of emulating their virtues, but is a bad, a very infamous thing to find political bankrupts and profligates prostituting the name, fame and teachings of good men to the lowest and meanest of parti zan schemes. Our cotemporary’s poetry from Shakspeare, therefore, does not illustrate the class to which we alluded, so admirably as do the following lines from the same author. We quote from that political knave lago, For when my outward action doth deraonstrato The native act an i figure of my heart, i n complement t .clam, * tin not long a ftcr But I will wear my heart upon my uleeve For tlaWet to }*eck at: I am not xrhat. I am. Extravagant professions of friendship do not constitute genuine admiration ; and we suspect that the J'rcss' desire to keep the Democracy of the State divided is quite as potent as its veneration for •ludge Douglas’ teachings. Shakspeare's lago, like many a diss appointed applicant for office in our day, entertained a remarkably exalted opin ion of his fitness to be Othello’s Lieut enant ; but }ie did not succeed in his application. Hence he devoted himself to the Moor’s destruction, whilo profess ing to love him all the time. The Fr,-s.< will perceive the similarity of lago’s con duct to those who use Judge Douglas’ teachings, in order to prostrate the Democratic party. The Purchase of Army Clothing Abroad-—Correspondence Bo tween the Boston Board of Trade and General Meigs. The following is the despatch recoivod by the Secretary of War on the 18th inst, from the Boston Board of Trade, and the answer of General Meigs, United States Quartermaster General, thereto, which supports the position taken in this corres pondence in yesterday’s Herald relativo to the purchase in Europe of woolen goods: Boston, Oct. 18, 1801. To Hon. Simon Cameron, Secretary of War;— Sir— Learning that an agent of the government bos been sent to England for the purpose of procuring supplies of cloth ing for the army, the Board of Trade of this city; believing this step to be entirely unnecessary and prejudicial to the govern ment and people, will immediately com municate facts deemed conducive upon this subject. The undersigned requests that the instructions to Baid agent majTbe revoked or suspended until this communi cation be made. CHAS. C. NAYOK, Chairman. The following is a copy of the reply seat by telegraph : To Charles C. Nator, Chairman of the Board of Trade. ! Boston, Mass.: The Secretary of War has been absent i for ten days past, and your telegraphic ' dispatch has been referred to me for at tention, The government, with every ex ertion, has not been able to procure wool ens, to clothe troops suffering in the field* Thdy fill the hospitals at great expense of life and of money. The government has instructed its agents to procure, not large ly, but only enough to meet the immedi ate and pressing demands of the service. The goods ordered will be made up in this country by our own people. This supply, with what is now making in the country, it is hoped will relieve the distress among the troops, and it is believed that full em ployment for all our manufactories will yet remain to provide for the wants of the go vernment and the country at large. The government wonld deserve the Ex ecrations of the people if it permitted, its defenders to suffer while waiting Tor in creased productions here to meet the pres sing wants of the army. Yog may rest assured that the policy of the Secretary and of his bureau is altogether in favor of using home manufactures, when it is possi ble to be done without pcsitive injury to tbq men in the field. If yon can aid ns in thrcf matter we Bhould be glad to have vour assistance to this end. E. 0. MEIGS, Quartermaster General. To epablo Cob Thomas, tho disbursing : agent, to execute the above |ordor, a war-i rant of eight hundred thousand dollars ' passed through the Treasury Department on Saturday last, which amonnt is to be 1 deposited with Baring Bfos , subject to the order of Colonel Thomas, j FROM WASHINGTON. I The Battle at Edwards’ Ferry. \ The unexpected death of Colonel I Baker is the general theme of conver sation to-day. He was the true type of a gentleman, an accomplished offi cer and a gallant soldier. His untime ly fall has cast a gloom over a large circle of warm hearted friends. The Rebels, in every skirmish we have yet had, pick off some of our best officers. The fault is generally their own —In their honest and patriotic zeal for the cause of the Union, they expose them selves too much. The skirmish at Edwards’ Ferry, and in the vicinity of Leesburg yester 1 day, was more serious than at first ap prehended. The Rebels allowed our forees to cross tho river without oppot sition, and, as they marched forward in the direction of Leesbuig, opened upon them from ambuscades, and mask ed batteries. A portion of Gen. Stone’s division hod the advance, when the Commander finding that tho rebels outnumbered him nearly four to one, besides tho natural advantages in their possession, maintained his ground an. til reinforcements, which he had scut for from General Ranks’ column, came up. A spirited engagement then followed. Col. Bakrr, wfth a portion of his command, led the charge in gallant style. He was ai the head of his col umn, urging his men forward, when he was pierced by some eight or ten rebel rifle balls. He died, it. is said, without uttering a word. The Colonel, before lie left here on Saturday, had a premo nition (hat he would he killed. He gave directions how he wanted his body disposed ot. Hi,- friends went up to the sene of conllict this morning to bring bis body home, and it will arrive here this afternoon. The Rebels fell hack with heavy loss, and left our troops iu possession of the ground. The rebel loss is reported to he over one hundred in killed. Our forces had three or four killed, it is reported, and about twenty wounded. More skir mishing is reported this morning at Leesburg, hut nothing official had reached here up to two o’clock. Colonel Baker, when he was killed, was on horsebaok, and dressed in full uniform. It is said that one hundred Mississippi rifles wero aimed at him when he fell. Col. Baker’s Bcmains. The news of the death of Colonel Baker caused great sorrow in this city, President Lincoln being particu larly affected. It was the desire of both Mi. and Mrs. Linooln that his body should he taken to the "White House, and placed in the blast room ; but as the House is now undergoing repairs, it was not deemed judicious. The body will he brought to the resi dence of Major J. W. Webb, in this city to morrow. On tho oilier side of the Potomac the announcement of his death was received with marked signs of grief. Those of the troops who had a person al acquaintance with the Colonel, and others who only knew him by repu tation, were strong in their resolves to avenge his death. A Fight, A Fight--Zollieofler Re pulsed—Battle of Wild Cat. Tuesday, a. m., October —, JSOI. Tho people at Camp Dick aro soundins; the loud timbrei. Is.’twithstandimi a low erin'; eky and burni i atmosphere, hilarity reigns. At about two o’clock this morn- ire a courier wiLh his uscyrt darlied up the rord, oh a foaming Fiend, with tidinge of a U.hi. h victory at “Wild Cat." General Sho'-pl announced, in a brief dispatch to brigadier General Thomas, that Z illicoffer, with ti.Otei infantry arid 1 ,o0i» cavalry, at tacked him In position yo-terday morning at eleven o'clock, and was repulsod. At one o’clock p. m. he renewed the attack at another point and was again ropellod At a later hour ho made a third unsuccess ful attack, and waa again repelled. The Federal iose was f or killed and twenty wounded. Tho rebel loss was not ascer tained, becauso our mon did not leave their porition. Z.illicoffor no doubt supposed that Col. Garrard had not been reinforce,l. His original.loreo war, hie own regiment and part hf another. Subsequently a battery of six guns reached him, and on Saturday and Sunday tho 17th Ohio, Col. Connell, and the 33d Indiana arrived. Tho guns of the battery were not brought into play vigor ously until the second attack, whon a few rounds drove back the rebels. The dispatch from General Shoopt treats tho affair as an attack, not as a reconnoisanco in force. I infer, however, that the rebol General was endeavoring to feel his position, which is represented to mo as capable of formidable defense against great odds. The news of the fight inspired the troop 3, and they man ifested much anxiety to press forward. It is not known whothor Zollicoffer em ployed his whole force in tho attack, but tho inference is fair that only ono division was engaged. The Tennessee regimentß bad Dot reached Wild Cat when the fight took place, but they will probably arrive there to-day. Capt. Kenny's battery is now deploying into tho pike, en route for the scene of action. The Importation of Arms. The United States continue to im port from England and tho Continent large quantities of arms and munitions of war. During the months of Septem ber and October, the receipts of these articles have measurably increased. The importation is not confined to guns, rifleß, &c., but includes cannon, shells, shot, camp-kettles and cartridges. The Bremen which arrived from Southamp ton at this port on the 16th of October, brqught one invoice of one hundred and forty-one oases of cannon, shell and shot, together with the necessary fuses and friction tubes, destined for General Fremont* These artioles were immediately forwarded to St. Louis, The value of the invoice, exclusive of duty, is about §14,000. The duties, amounting to about §4,200, are of course remitted, the goods being for the use of the government. The Bavaria which arrived Ootober 10, brought a large invoice of guns. The invoice consisted of 259 cases, con taining 6,222 guns, valued at §52,800 or about §8 50 per gun. These were Sent to the Arsenal at Bridesburg, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia. The same vessel brought swords, rifles, &0., for General Fremont’s army. In addition, tp these arms, a large number of Enfield rifles, have recently arrived By the Edinburgh, Kangaroo and City of New Yorfc- Loudon, with a population of three Bullions, has six bridges. Paris, with one million inhabitants, has twenty-four Three of the London bridges are hefcvi-. iy taxed. Interesting from Bebeldom [From the Baltimore Patriot, of yesterday ) We have had an opportunity of con versing with several persons just ar rived from the interior of the Houthe States, some of whom left rsthcr thm take the oath of allegiance to the new Confederacy, and others, because their business was broken up by reason of ad hering to their ancient allegiance. One of these parties left Richmond, where he had been since February, on Thursday last, and spent Friday in Norfolk He informed us that there was still a fierce enthusiasm seeming to pervade the Se cessionists throughout the South, wom en and children, as well as men ; that they have a complete confidences in their ability to maintain their position ; that there were, to his personal knowl edge many Union men in Richmond, and in Norfolk especially; that the counties in Eastern Virginia, as well as tho towns, were swarming with soldiers; that almost every man wore a uniform, and was attached to some military or ganization ; that the troops wero, in many cases, ragged, and in very few cases uniformed; that their clothes were of homespun, dyed with the wal nut hark, or some similar substance, to secure something like uniformity of col or among those of tho same company; that they were very badly off for shoes, and had very few blankets, still fewer tents, and were well armed only in cer tain places, as at Manassas, and in parts of Tennessee, having brought each man his squirrel gun or fowling piece, with such as he could provide at home. Certain medicines were very scarce, and some it was impossible to obtain. Calomel was worth fifty cents an ounce, and hardly any to be had in Richmond. Quinine, there was none to he had at any drug store there on Wednesday. Ipecacuanha and iodine of potassium, and opium particularly, were almost un attainable. He found some opium at Norfolk, but neither of the others. The Tredegar iron works were said to be turning out one large gun a day. The armories were busy, and as guns were much needed, as fast as they could he manufactured, they were gent to their troops. In Richmond there was not much disorderly behavior in the streets, and no drunkenness, that he saw, among the soldiers. Among the operatives and mechanics especially the Union feeling was strong; but no one could dare to give expression to it. The Union men, however, knew each other, and were objects of suspicion to those who ruled and those who upheld them. The knowl edge that a man still adhered to the Union was sufficient to deprive him of employment and take away custom from his store. Many Union men who could got away had left, but the great mass, of course, could not get off, and they were waiting in hope, the arrival of the Federal armies to release them fiorn the oppression which was exorcised over them. The Union men would undoubtedly join the United States flag a- soon as it could be displayed among them. Thousands would flock to it who now were silenocd, and who now were actu ary forced to bear arms against it. What was tho relative actual strength ol the parties there it was impossible to say. No test could be had—no elec tion held under present circumstances in these Stales would afford any evi dence, even if it were possible to run a Union candidate. None suoh could show himself, nor would it be safe for any voter to vote for such. Tho dis unionists well know this, as well as tho fact that there arc thousands of Union mon, and their fear of allowin'* these Union men to find out their own strength, causes them to forbid and crush out any attempt at a demonstra tion. The secessionists were, in many pla ces in the interior, beginning to be em tirely sick of this state of affairs. Cof fee, fifty cents a pound—hardly any ho tel now gave coffee—some had tea; that too, was high. Bacon, twenty-five cents a pound. Balt, eight dollars a sack. Flour, eight and nine dollars a barrel. In North Carolina, where one of the parties with whom we conversed had been staying some months, wheat was worth in a country store about eighty five to ninety oents a bushel, and the storekeeper told a farmer, in his hear, ing, that shortly it would be a bushel of wheat for a pound of ooffeo. Gold and silver never seen. Bank notes, of tho different Stateß, and “Confederate” money, of the denomination of five dol lars and upward—all ehange consisted s “shin-plasters” and. corporation prom ise to pay five and ten cents (when of was presented) in Virginia money. In the west and mountainous region of North Carolina, and especially in East Tennesseo, Union men dared still to gather together and speak out, ex cept in those points which were closely ocoupied by Jeff. Davis’s “minions,” In Northern Alabama, too, about Huntsville, and in Northeastern Missis sippi, as well as among the largest planters along tho river, the Union feeling was rife and strong; and he had hoard one man say at a “gathering" that “if he could only see the old Stars and Stripes he would cry for joy.” One account gave 18,000 men in and around Norfolk, and 110,000 at and about Manassas. Another ac count stated that the Quartermaster at Norfolk served out 38,0Q0 rations daily. It was quite impossible to know anything exactly of position or number. The .Confederates did not al low the newspapers to publish any thing. The movements on' our side were known almost immediately at Richmond —how, unless through secret traitors and spies in Government of fices, he could not toll—and a perfect confidence was felt that they had se cured and would maintain their inde pendence. The fleet now assembling at Hampton Roads gave great uneasi ness to the secessionists, and they are alarmed and perplexed.
