GENERAL FREMONT AGAIN.
1 The Republican journals are still engaged
in discussing Gen. Fremont, but a large
majority of the most influential of ,them
... are forced to the conclusion that he is un
fit for the important position be still holds.
The report of Adjutant General Thomas
appears to have settled .'the question, al
though the extreme abolition press of the
Tribune stamp still cling to the General
■With wondrous tenacity. This report
proves conclusively that Gen. Fremont’s
'• military family is in a large part composed
of mere adventurers and speculators, who
take advantage of their close ofiioial rela.
tion to the commanding General to engage
in contracts, which, to say the least, are
questionable, and that have every mark of
corruption. Such areNCaptain Haskell's
transactions in mules, and a transaction of
another aid-de<camp in blanketß. For re
sisting such prodigal irregularities the
Quartermaster was ordered from St. Louis.
These are but examples of malpractices of
.which there are other cases mentioned in
»thereport.
.These California adventurers monopo
lize the staff of the commanding General,
to the exclusion of men who are acquainted
with the topography and resources of the
country, and with what is still more im
pprtant in this war, the temper of the in
habitants. This is a grave error and has
led to some deplorable results. From this
■ report we also learn that Fremont upon
his own responsibility issued commissions,
to nearly two hundred officers, from Lieu
tenants up to Colonels, one of these being
a ‘'Director of Music,” with the rank and
pay of a Captain of Engineers ! Colonel
Andrews, the Paymaster, who informed
Gen. Thomas of these extraordinary pro
headings, appears to have had his hands
full of similar troubles, for on one occasio Q
when he objected to an improper payment
he was threatened with confinement by a
file of soldiers.
Major Allen, Quartermaster of St. Louis,
complained of irregularities, and stated
that Gen. Fremont had ordered supplies of
forage to be Bent from SL Louiß to Tipton,
'a distance of 160 miles, where corn was
abundant and cheap. The indebtedness
this Department was $4,600,309 73.
By order of Gen. Meigs, conlratcs for
hay and grain were to be advertised and
awarded lo the lowest bidder, and bids
were made to supply oats at 30 cents per
bushel, and hay at $17,94 ~(9 ton, but in the
face of this Baird, Cook & Palmer, of St.
Louis, (some of the firm were Fremont’s
agents in California), were ordered to send
100,000 buahejs of oats and a correspond
ing quantity of Ifiiy to Jefferson city, where
these The price was 33
cents per.bushel for grain, and $l9 per ton
for hay. . ...
” Captain Davis, amember of Fremont's
staff, reoeivod a contract for army blankets,
which were condemned by a board of ex
amining officers as worthlese, but,no‘.w>ths
standing they were purchased aid given
. .to the sick in the hospital. Among other
supplies sent by Fremont to the army were
600 water barrels and 600 tons of ice lo be
uaed in a country whoro Water abounds.—
The hiring of the Brant house at a rent of
$6 000 per year for the General’s head
quarters, is also alluded to,
~A pontoon bridge was erected at Pa
ducah over the Ohio river, where a ferry
boat would have answered rb well and
been cheaper. One week after th e receipt
of the Presldent’s letter. ordering General
Fremont to modify his Proolation relating
v. toslaves, he ordered 200 copies of the
original Proclamation to be sent to Iron
ton for distribution.
General Thomas on arriving at Jeffer
son City, 160 miles from St. Louis, found
immenßO quantities of forage, and the wa
ter b’arfels~4nd nhfleh which 7 could not be
-,'sent forward for want pf : transportarion.
Only 20 out of lpO guhs, bonght by Fre
mont In Europe, would go off on trial. A
v number of orders are given, written by
' ~ Fremont to Mb officers, ordering moves
ments which it was impossible to execute
.for want of transportation, and Exhibiting
his want of Military foresight.
A detailed statement of the facts relating
. to the failure to reinforce General Lyon,
■hows that it was possible to send him aid,
£ and that under any efficient officer it would
-hive been done. The failure to reinforce
' Tjexington was also a military blunder,
■ ihd like lhe Lyon affair, without any paU
llatiye excuses. They exhibit 'in the
» strongest light General Fremont’s want of
7 • .fixedness of purpose and concentration,and
“ shows that he is unfitted for high com.
. mand. This, Bays General Thomas, is tho
concurrent testimony of the most intelli
” 'gent men of all parties in the State,
Army Contracts—Purchase of Horses,
There is no doubt that great frauds
aresperpetroted ou the Government in
every department of supply, as well at
tbe East, in and about Washington, as
, in Missouri. Indeed, it is surmised that
.... this great ory about Missouri contracts
has "been raised, to .cover up much more
elsewhere. With regard

First Regiment Sickles’ Brigade.
Camp, Banks of thk Matta woman, l
October 28th, 1861. /
Editor Post ;—Wo left our former camp
ozf rather abort notice, Thursday morning
il&st) and he you will preceiv© i>y the post
mark, have placed ourselves la pretty close
quarters with the enemy. This movement
includes the wole division, (Hooker’s) and
an additional escort of two regiments of
artillery, and one of cavelry—in all about
12,000 men. We came to this point via.
PisoAthaway, and were the advance during
tbe march. Since Our arrival the regi
ments comprising our Brigade (Excelsior,)
have been placed in differant positions —
the Fourth having moved to Chapman’s
Point, ours. in the vicinity of Shipping
Point and the Fifth are now on the march
for Port Tobacco. Our Third Kcgiment
has been for some time near Budd s Ferry,
and to show their close proximity to the
rebels, a shell was thrown into their midst
a few days ago, killing|one and dangerous
ly wounding several. Tho Second is an*
camped near us, tut move to some other
point to-morrow. Hooker’s Brigade, (Ist
and 2d Maes., 2d New Hampshire, and
26th Penns.,) have, along with the artil
lery and oavalry, gone in the direction of
liudd’s Ferry, where there is a rebel baU
tery, and from the cannonading that we
have heard to day, we are prone to believe
that they are at work. But there is bo
frequent firing in that direction that H
may bo only practice, or saluting a passing
vessel. Gen. Hooker carried with his
Brigade all our ambuiences, and 16 extra
which we received from Washington the
day of our departure, leaving us but one
Bm&ll one, as a Hospital Dispensary. So
there mußt evidently be some work of im
portance ahead, for they took ail the tools
to do it. Our Brigade is, probat ly, held
in reserve, and placed in the positions that
the enetoy would be most likely to cross
the river. If this is not the intention —I
am completely ignorant of sdv other.—
Daring the entire ma r ch (on a hot day,)
our regiment hold their position in rank
manfully, not any falling out, while in
1 tho others they were scattered alone, the
road for miles in tho rear. The Colonel
of the Second was placed under arrest, not
having his command in order. The Fire
Zouaves, (4th,) were perfectly unmanage
able, doing juat as their fancy prompted
them, on the entire march; and Hooker's
Brigade—l know not what to BAy of them
—they wore two dayß in passing our camp,
stragglers coming along every few mo
ments.
The artillery was commanded in good
style, and conveyed their heavy ordinance
ouer tho rough rokd without any incon
vienence to the infantry whatever. They
comprise 16 guns, the greater part being
rifled, (Parrot’s,) and are also provided
with mortar, abundance of ammunition,
shell, <kc., «fcc. The cavalry are scouting
through tho neighborhood the greater part
of the time, and doing valuable service.
No information can be gained in regard
to the time of our remaining here, ae wo
are merely awaiting further orders, and are
liable to move at any moment. The Pitts
burgh Greys are all hale and hearty, and
impatient for a brash with the rebels. The
U. S. Cadets, (could one judge from their
appearance,) a* we passed them yesterday,
had a Loud smile upon their countancos,
and gave evidence of fine spirits. Our
present encampment is situated an a gen*
tie slope near the HiaLtawoman creek, and
beautiful as well as healthy. In full viow
is the rebel side of the Potomac, and by
the aid of a glass their rag is clearly per-*
ceplible, floating over one of their bat
ieriea. This is a torture io us, to boo these
ihings and not have the privilege of “van'
ishing them forever from our Right,” which
would undoubtedly be the case if our de
sires were complied with. Gen. Sickles
has forbid any foraging, and we have thus
far been a protection rather than a scourgr
to the citizens h reabouts. Oho of out
boys who has just returned from the banks
of tho Potomac; reports to mo that all
moves along right on our behalf at present
he informs me that all tho residences are
deserted by the lalo occupants, from ap*
parant fear of shells, &c., which have full
range for some distance in tho roar of the
river. Their signal lights are plainly visa
ble to us in the evenings, and roach from
the creek to Port Tobacco, and even fur
ther, But, as I must attend to a little dot
mesiic work, and “Sick QaU” is now close
at hand, 1 shall postpone further oppera.
tions at present. In my next, 1 shall aim
at news and items, and Post you in regard
lo our future movements. Until theD,
believe me, Tours truly, K (J. U.
U. 15.—1 should mention that it was
Hall’s Battery that accompanies us on our
expedition and not Sherman's, as falsely
reported. We left all our sick and con
valesent in camp, conveyed with us our
prisoners, (6 or 8,) who are tied in the
rear of the wagons. This is an urpleas
ant situation, from the fact that they are
required to perform a littlo double quick
now and then; but I must cease now—

HOW ABOUT A BATTLE ?
The following extracts from the Wash
ington correspondents of the Press and
the Inquirer (both of the same date, will
give an idea of the general correctness
of the special .telegrams from Washing
ton. The Inquirer says;
A 9 Advance Positive
There need exist no longer any grave
tpprehensions as to the grand army of tbe
Potomac going into winter quarters in this
vicinity. The Present, it is understood,
has assured several distinguished gentlemen
that a forward movement is determined on
though at .what time it is not proper to
state. Those who have not been fully
posted have been quite loud in urging an
immediate advance, fearful that at the same
lime it was not contemplated by those in
authority. Tho impatience of the people
may f e Bet at rest for the present. It is
Dot at all improbable that a movement will
be made and a victory achieved before the
distant public are aware that anything has
occurred to disturb the inactivity of the
army just now.
The Press sayß;
To Be or not to Be.
The opinion prevails pretty generally
here that no general engagement will take
place between the armies of the Folomao
during the antumn or winter months.—
Beauregard has withdrawn’ his forces to
Manassas and along the line of the railway
.from Acquia Creek to .Richmond. The
short supply of forage renders it unsafe to
advance a largo army into the interior of
the State; aDd while the cities and seaports
are being menaced by our fleets, many of
our officers think that wisdom points to a
suspension of hostilities here. Others urge
a forward movement, under the impression
that our army ought to have an opportu
nity to “retrieve the checks they have
met,” and “for which they are not account
able,” as Gen. McClellan says. Of one
thing we are assured, that heavy contracts
are being made for the erection of wider
quarters for 60,000 tj 100,000 men in the
vicinity of Washington.
Western Grain Sprouting. —lt
is stated that the grain staoksnf South
ern Wisconsin, Northern and Central
Illinois, are green, in many instances,
with growing groin—that much of the

(October 7,) rain has fallen almost
daily.

FROM WASHINGTON,
GUN. SCOTT
Many absurd stories, says the Press,
are circulated in reference to the inter
ference of Lieutenant General Scott
with Major General McClellan. Gen.
Scott continues in his old position„ttnd,
so far as his enfeebled health enables
him to do, maintains a supervision over
the operations of all our corps cTarmee. —
Whatever may have been his own opin
ions in regard to the management of the
campaign, the fact cannot be conir'adict
ed that Gen. McClellan lifts been left the
uncontrolled mastery of hisown military
district.
EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS,
Gradually the necessities of the case
-will compel the government to consent
to the exchange of prisoners. I have
every reason to believe that many of the
absent sons of the free States, captured
in honorable battle, will be released at
an early day.
FROM THE LOWER POTOMAC.
The rebel batteries were opened upon
the Maryland shore yesterday, and firing
continued to a late hour last night, but
without damage to anybody on our side.
It is believed that no vessels have, with
in the last twenty-four hours, run the
rebel blockade.
SPIES ARRESTED,
By order of Brigadiertfeneral Sickles
a family, consisting of husband, wife
and daughter, it-pre arrested near Port
Tobacco and brought to Washington..—
They are confined iu the jail on Seven
teenth street, charged with harboring
rebels and giving information detrimen
tal to the interests of tlie Federal army
Work for the Army
Almost all the work that is done for
the army is, in some respect or other,
less faithfully done than it should be.
This fault has been corrected, to a
great extent, since the war began, but
continual vigilanco on the part of the
Government Inspectors is necessary to
prevent the frauds ol contractors. An
intelligent workman on army shoes, in
New England, says thaUthe imperfect
character of much of the work that is
done for tho service is partly attributa
ble to the ignorance of those who make
out the specifications. In illustration of
this, he remarks that those who are em
ployed to make tho shoes for our troops
are required to make twelve stitches to
the inch in the upper, and six in the
sole, which is too many, as they fre
quently ent out the leather in drawing
in, thus making an inferior shoo at an
increased cost. He also states, while
white oak tanned stock is required,
nothing is said as to its thickness or
quality, and consequently an artiole
which might be termed leather shoddy
is frequently used, stiffened up with
shingles or pasteboard, for soles. These
shoes, moreover, are manufactured with
out a counter tor the support of the an
kle, and as the uppers will hardly stand
alone, they inevitably run down at the
heel in wearing, and are rendered ut
terly useless on a long inarch. The
Government is said to pay 52,2"> for
these shoes, at which price it should
command the very best artiole that can
be put together.
TUc Position oll.orti I.yous.
The Washingoon Star snys
We apprehend that a profound mis
apprehension of the position of Lord
Lyons toward the cause of the Union
exists in the popular mind. We draw
this conclusion from the invidious com
ments of our presses upon what they
evidently regard as being his attitude,
and from our personal knowledge that
iheir impressions are not shared by this
Government or aDy member of ft, who,
it will be remembered are in daily in
tercource with him. We aro satisfied
that not a word has fallen from his lips
concerning our public affairs to which
they have taken exception; and further,
that they have no fault whatever to find
with any portion of his personal course
in our present unhappy national con
troversy .
It will bo remembered that the recent
letter, bearing his official signal tire, to
which Mr. Seward neoessarily wrote'so
caustic a reply, was not his own but the
letter of the British Minister of For
eign Affairs, whose views in the pre
mises (not his own) it was his official
duty to make known to this Govern
ment.
Tim Philadelphia Sorih American, re*
plying to an English journal, says that
sagacity ior groat enterprises has been
among the distinguishing characteristics of
the great Republic, but vast as has been
our reputation hitherto in this respoct, the
present era is swelling it beyond all pre
vious conjecture. Just as the English
press eagerly exclaims that the spell is
broken and the Republic is shattered for>
over, it has accomplished two wonders
which serve to illustrate its marvellous
energy. It has built and opened a com
plete line of magnetic telegraph across the
continent from New York to San Francis
co, and raised, equipped, armed and dike),
plined an army of half , a million of men
and a navy of over twenty thousand sail
ors.
These things have been done suddenly,
while Europe has Bnpposed ail here in a
stato of chacs. At the same time we have
sent unmolested thirty thousand peaceful
emigrants, with all their families, household
goods, cattle and two thousand wagons,
three thousand miles across the continent

and paid it in hard cash; and from our
overfiowick granaries we have sent so vast
an amount of breadstuffs to Europe as to
leave a large balanoe of trade in our favor,
which she is obliged to pay in gold.
In the midßt of such wonders as these,
how vain and frivolous appears the Motion
that this stupendous structure is falling .to
pieces, and the world is witnessing tie self
immolation of its mightiest creation- Per

FOREIGN NEWS.
A Vtfar With the Union More Danger
; ous Than a Want of Cotton.
(Worn the Manchester Guardin' » OcL 16 )
. The condemnation of several British ,
prises was resisted by the
Britiehagent on fhe ground, that the
public rdisturbances subsisting between;
differebt portions of the United Btates
do not constitute a state of war, that no
lawful blockade has been established,
and, in fact, that no particular State, or
States, can be treated as enemies of the
Union byfita own government. But if,
on the other hand, the South be an in
dependent government, in hostility to
that Union of whioh it formerly consti
tuted a part, the right Of the latter to
blookado its ports is as little open to
dispnto as any right which can possibly
exist underjtho law of nations. What
is it, then, |bat is required of us ? Not
only that we -should recognize the in
dependence of the Southern confedera
tion, bnt that, having done that, we
should forbid tho United States to car
ry on against it one of the most legiti
mate operations of war, further at least
than it might not interfere with our
own convenience. This is, in plain
terms, that wo should declare war against
the United States in order to prevent
them from using the only weapon by
whioh, if by any,, they can have the
slightest hope of reduoing their adver- :
saries, ball them rebels or enemies or ]
what we will, to submission. We can
not, think there are many men in the:
country who would, knowingly and with
their eyes open, recommend this coarse
of procedure. There are considerations
tending to show itsjmanife&t shoitsight
edness and impolicy whioh may be urged
on another occasion. For the present
it may suffice to say that it would give
a shock to the system of public law
throughout the world, by which we
should inevitably be the severest suffer
ers in the end,and that the disastrous ef
fect of snoh on example set by sneh a
country as England wonld be infinitely
heightened by the glaring selfishness of
tho motive.

(Paris, Oct. HCorroepondence of the London Post)
It is natural enough to find political
parties in Paris talking much about the
unexpected resolution of the Orlennist
princes in taking an active part in the
American civil war. Two or three
more or less amateur soldiers added to
the staff of General McClellan, will
make little difference on the day of
battle; and it is difficult to suppose
that the troops of the North will be in
spired to extraordinary heroic deeds by
the presence of those two amiable prin
ces of royal blood. It is the political
consequonces likely to result from the
Count de Paris ana the Duke de Char
tres taking service under the govern
ment of Washington whioh suggest re
flection. The Orleanist party in France,
it should be known, are fully convinced
that the Count of Paris is destined one
day to occupy the throne of France,
and this is their line of argument:—
So long as Napoleon lives we have little
ohanoe, but should he be removed be
fore the son arrives at manhood, there
is every reason to believe that imperi
alism will soon till to pieces, and then
France will look to the Orleanists and
real parliamentary system of govern
ment. This is certainly a probability;
but who can speculate on the humor of
the French people ? A few days after
the battle of Waterloo, the universally
adored Napoleon L lost all popularity,
and Peris eohoed “Vive le Roi l” and
again knelt down to the Bourbon. No
ruler of France was ever more popular
with, the army and the majority of the
people than Napoleon III:, but who
shall say that such popularity may ex
tend to the son ? Nations forget their
princes and heroes with wonderful fa
oility: The Nelson monnment is an
example of that in more serious and
constant England ! On the whole, the
Orleanists have certainly a leasonable
right lo suppose they may one day rule
again in Franoe,iand- that is why their
party is discussing the wisdom of the
princes taking service in Amerioa.
The Orleanists say the princes (fid not
leave England to become soldiers of the
North; they visited America as Prince
Napoleon had, simple tourists; but the
excitement around them fired their
youthfql imaginations with warlike
ideas, and they with-the permission of
the Prince de Joinville, offered their
services to the government of the North
and were accepted. -So goes: the story
in Paris, and then itisiaddedThat

There are, however, others of the 0r«
leanist party who think the step a false
one. They say that it is like inter-,
fering in a family quarrel, and finally
the' princes will not be thanked by
either party. They argue that a civil
war is not the sort, of war in which
'they ought to take part, while ft dis-
