CONTBACTORB AND POLITI
CIANS.
An intelligent and shrewd observer,
the other day, in Washington, after
looking around at a crowd of hungry
and cadaverous looking fellowß standing
hard by, remarked to a companion, with
whom he Was conversing, " la this a
contractor's war?” The multitude of
these active speculators, augmented, as
it is, by' (i swarm of sutlers and other I
c amp-followers, doubtloss do often sug-1
gest the inquiry alluded to, I
There seems to be another class of
individuals, however, not so large a? the
one instanced, personally largely inter
ested in our present troubles,We mean,
of course, a certain class of politicians. |
Let us take Fremont as an example,—
He was not content with squandering
the pjibßo money upon California pets
in St.'Louis, but transcended the positive
and explicit orders of his government,
in order to make an impression ujon
political zealots: The defeated candidate
of 1886 thought to make his mark for I
the sjiccession in '64, but in doing it he I
overstepped all bounds of discretion.
But mark the consequence of the con-1
duct of thiß daring aspirant, We are
now told by the most fanatical of Fre
mont's followers that his dismissal from
the command of our Western division
will prove a disastrous undertaking.
This disaster is to happen, not because of
any ability Fremont possesses for that
command, but because the Westem peo.
pie are so wedded to him that there is
danger of their seceding from the gen
eral government, and forming a republic
of their own, with their discarded Gen
eral at its head, This absurd story
carries weight enough with it to attract
attention from some of our Eastern ex-
and the Washington corres
* pondeDt of the Philadelphia /V:,, in a
' special dispatch, gravely assures liis
readers that “itis rumored that Fremont
» intends to revolt and defy the orders of
the Administration.’’ It would appear
from this that the Administration, having
interred with Fremont’s Presidential
programme, he is determined, with his
followers to set up for himself. He and
his crew are delighted in crushing
Southern rebellion, but when their
schemes are interfered with they talk of
v rebelling themselves.
Fanatical as some of them may be
upon the ohimerical idea of negro eman
cipation, We have no notion that even
Fremont’s immediate followers are pre
pared for this new phase of rebellion-
It is difficult, however, to anticipate fa
natacism, and we do not see why West
ern abolitionism may not rush after a
popular leader, as the proslavery men of
the South have submitted to .fetr Davie.
There is a difference between the two
sections, however, which is very grent.
Thc multitudes of the West are loyal to
their gewitnmemt, and these multitudes,
lead, by *H« indomitable Democracy of
that wait region, will be able to keep
their immense territory from being over
run by'slwery or of becoming an aboli
tion empire.

I never ordered Goneral Stone to cross Lhe

I immediately telegraphed Major Gene

he would be thus supported, I directed him
:to hold his position at all hazaids. On the

withdrew our forces from the Virginia side.

To Prigadier General Stun?, PoolewiHc:
General McClellan desires me to inform
you that General McCall occupied Drains

We yesterday announced; that the

Gen. McClellan a magnificent sword,—
The following is his reply to the Com
mittee by whom it was presented :
“1 ask you, sir, to give my warmest and
deep thanks to the honorable body you
represent for this entirely unmerited com
pliment. 1 could thank you belter if 1
thought that X deserved it, but 1 do not
feel that X do. Nothing that 1 have yet
accomplished would warrant this high
compliment. It iB for the future to detor
mine whether I shall realize the hopes and
expectations that haye been centered in
me. X trust and feel that the day is not
far distant when I shall return to the place
dearest of all others to me, there to spend
the balance of my life among the people
from whom I have received this beautiful
gift. The war cannot bo long. It may be
deßporate. I ask in the future forbearance,
patience and confidence. With these wo

fn the great drama which may have our
heart’s blood, that Pennsylvania will not
play the least, 1 trust that, on the other
hand, she will play the highost and noblest
part.
“I thank you, and ask you to convey to
the Councils my most sincere thanks for
ihe sword. Say to them that it will bo my
ambition to deserve it herealtor. 1 know
I do not now.”
j The company loudly applauded theße
sentiments, after which the members of
the Committee were introduced to Gen.
McClellan, who introduced them to the
officers of his staff.
The sword was admired by all and
pronounced to be a magnificent weapon.

Gen McClellan remarkß, m his reply
to the Philadelphia committee, that ‘‘the

the strife will bo choering to a vast major*
ity of the American people, though it may
be prejudicial to the personal and political
interests of a few. Mr Robert J. Walker
expresses the opinion that tho be
terminated this winter —that it will sub*
stantially end with the present campaign.
The fiscal condition of the Confederate
government cannot, as he supposes, enable
it to maintain a war for another year. —
The loan of two hundred and fifty millions
of dollarj authorized by Congress at tho
late session will probably be obtained and
expended by the first of January next. If
the banks take a hundred and fifty
lions, as they doubtless will, and thirty
millions of demand treasury notes be issu

I main seventy millions to be obtained in

CEKEKAL FREMONT,
TOE BLAIR FAMILY.
The St. Louis Republican is flightin':
the Blair family valiautly in their eru
Bade against Fremont. Its issue of
Saturday last says :
tlcn. Fremont could not be used by
Mr. Blair. Neither his interests nor
the interests of the olique that support
ed him, were thought by Gen. Fre
mont unite so important as the interests
of the Government and tho nation.
Gen. Fremont had as h: had a right to
have, his own views of how his depart
ment should be managed in its various
subdivisions ; and without any dogged
and perverse deaf-earedness to sound or
even well meant advice, he took such
course as his best, judgment dictated.
It is unnecessary now to renew the dis
cussion on the merits of these courses.
They have been already argued at some
length ; and time and' tin- future will
shed forth salutary light upon them.
What we have to say now is that
mail, who was a lew months ago the
warm Jrietnl (professedly scat least i
of the Captain-General of the Western
Department, is now his bitter enemy.
A large part of the peuple of Mis
souri look on Mr. Blair as one of those
tiro-brands which has kindled up the
flames of civil war among us—as one
among the ehiel authors of the afllio
tions which are now crushing them to
the earth. The generality of our peo
ple—among the least prejudiced and
most reflecting classes —moderato and
thinking men all over the State nmk
Francis F. Biair and Claiborne F. Jack-
son together. The cursed ambition of
tlie one and the execrable folly of the
other aro regarded as the original twin
scourges of'-nr State. Many believe
that had Fdair let Harney alone, the
State could havo been kept quiet.
Harney was alumed by libels and slan
ders which throw doubts upon his loy
alty. file truth is that bis allegiance
to his superiors was a soldier s sacra
ment, which he never would have bro
ken. His spirit and his energy were un
doubted. What his proclamation said,
he meant. Had danger shown itself,
he would have been promptly present
at the scene of it, ready to meet it. At
the same time, he would have been as
conciliatoiy os circumstances permit
ted. Tn Short, we should havo had
from him a discreet exccrcise of power
.—a power held up in the eyes ot our
people to show them that defiance of it
was dangerous, while it would have
been energetically used on every oc
casion which called for its employment.
That was Harney’B position. We doubt
whether there was a conservative man
in the State —whether there was one
man who understood apd cherished its
true interests —who did not feel confi
dence and hope in Harney’s adminis
tration. But quiet for our peoplo did
not suit the views of Mr. Blair. This
was either because he had no confidence
in Gen. liarncy, wherein he showed
his own want of judgment and just ap
preciation of the condition of Missouri;
or because peace for its people aud a
subordinate plaoe for himself were not
the things he wanted. In either point
of view, ho is to be condemned. Mr.
Blair began to intrigue against Gen.
Harney. He finally got him ousted.
Lyon and Blair, or Blair and Lyon, (it
was difficult to say which,) were the
heroes of Missouri. Blair, at any rate,
became conspicuous. And with this
change commenced our troubles.
THE EIGHT AT SPKINGEIEI.
From a special dispatch to the St.
Louis Republican, we select the follow
ing particulars ot Fremont’s Body
Guard encounter with the rebels at
Springfield :
’ The desperate charge of the Fremont
Body Guard is still the theme of con
versation and praise in camp, and no
one can doubt, whatever his opinion of
it as a military movement, that it was a
recklessly daring performance, entitled
to the name of the American Balaklava.
Tho list of mortality now is sixteen
killed of tho Body Guard, eighteen
wounded, (two mortally,) and ten mis
sing, whose names are Poohen, ltosen
burg, Koska, Foe, and Trancemitk, pri
vates, Company A; Sergeant Sheanger,
Corporal Foster, and privates Itner and
Lack ey, Company B; Win. Ilaskitt and
Robert Leo, privates, Company C.
This famous charge is, in many in
stances, extraordinary. The men had.
ridden seventy miles, been two consec
utive nights without sleep, and had but
one ration previous to the engagement.
Not more than six of the Guard had
ever before been under fire, and yet
they manifested a coolness and courage
that would have done credit to Napo
leon's most veteran warriors. Not one
of them flinched or wavered—proving,
ag Zagonyi said, thatovery one of them
was a hero.
Not more than ten of the 150 horses
are fit for service—the rebels, different
from their usual custom, fired low, and
therefore struck 'the steeds instead of
the riders. The Body Guard will re
quire some weeks for reorganization, and
their splendid achieveifleiit will make
them a most sought for cofpß. Compa
ny C alone had two hundred; apphda
tions here for admission yesterday, ana
Sergeant Charles H,. Hunter says he
conld raise a regiment of Body Guards
in Cincinnati, whenoe ho comes, in a
week.
Gen. Fremont, immediately on his
arrival in Springfield, visited the bos--
pital where thebrave fellows lay wound
ed,” and complimented them highly on
their gallant conduct, and declared any
commander might be proud to havesuch
a l?ody Guard. When he saw the dead
soldiers he could not restrain his tears.
Yesterday afternoon fifteen of the
Body Guard were buried with military
honors —the Benton Cadets, M&j- Hol
man’s Sharp-shooters, and General Fre
mont’s entire staff, with the surviving
Guards, following the remains to the
grave. Fifteen riderless horses were
led in the procession, which was most
impressive. The Episcopal funeral
service was performs l by Rev. Mr.
Blake, Chaplain of the staff, and his re
marks caused many of the soldiers to
weep like children. The fifteen corpses
wero all deposited in one grave, just
outside of the town, and a volley of
musketry fired ovor the grave, into
which General Fremont cast the first
earth. The citizens, male and female,
attended the funeral in large numbers,
and a deep melancholy pervaded the
breasts of all who participated in the
mournful occasion.
General Fremont visited the soene of
Friday’s action after the funeral, and
examined the locality particularly. The
trees and fences contain marks of the
desperate conflict, and one rail in the
Mount Vernon road has thirty-seven
bullets in it.
One fearless rebel, on the day of the
fight, made a most desperate effort to
kill Zagonyi, riding along half the line
and receiving some twelve wounds be
fore he expired, resisting heroically to
his last gasp.

ATTITUDE OFTIIE FORGES IN VIRGINIA
If General Beauregard is really to be
attaoked, bnt not to attack, Gen. Mo-
Clcllan is also prepared to receive an
offensive movement rather than to make
one. In fact, they are both perfectly
well aware at this moment that their
armies aro quite beyoDd their grasp,
and that all they could do in such a
country as lies between them would be
to depend on the officers of brigades to
work their men almost independently,
and to hold their own behind their
lines and in the position in which they
arc placed. * * * If Beauregard ex
pects that his .opponent will march di
rectly on his position at Manassas I
think he will be disappointed, and he I
will probably bo forced at last oither to
divert a portion of his forces to the
west, with long marches and a difficult
country before him, or to make the at
tempt on which i have always calcula
ted, if ever he could obtain possession
of the Potomac, to cross into Maryland.
Gen. McClellan is so well acquainted
with his army by this time that he must
be aware many of his inferior officers
are not fit for their plaoes. Of his men
ho is sure. The rank and file are equal
to their work. The want of proper of
ficers is felt most in the cavalry and
in the artilhry, as well as in the quar
termaster's department.
But, after all, the wonder really is
that the army is so well t.flicorod as it
is, and the number of men of fine faces
nod figures, with the appearance and
manner of the soldier about them, which
one sees in the streets and in the
camps, shows what a large mi'itary ele
ment there must have been among the
Araorican people, for the class of which
I speak is beyond all proportion to the
habits ot the people, and yet it has
dropped easily and naturally into the
disoharge of military duties. General
McClellan rides and reviews indefatiga
bly. There is Bcaroely a day on which
he does not cover some 20 or 30 miles of
ground about the camps, and he is now
attended oooasionally by the Count of
Paris and the Duke of Chartres. What

Terrible Disaster in France.
THREE HUNDRED MEN PUBJED IN A
The foreign papers give accounts of
a terrible casualty in tho department of
Gard, Franee. In consequence of a
powerful storm —the bursting of a
waterispout, aooording to somo state
ments—tho Lalle mine was flooded,
and the sides fell in, burying all the
working men. An explosion of gas
took placo at tho same time, by whioh
a portion of the mine was blown up.
The number of men missing, and con
sidered as killed by acoident. is
nearly 500. The casualty took place
on the 13th ultimo. The Gazette de
Mudi publishes the following aocount:
The mine had been flooded by the
late rains, a land-slip took plaoe and
more tnan one hundred workmen were
either smothered or drowned. The
Prefect of the Gard, having been ap
prised of the circumstance at ten at
night, left his residence, accompanied
by several public functionaries and by
the chief engineer of the department,
and proceeded to the ■ mine in special
train. On arriving at tho scene of the
disaster it was found that 117 miners
were missing, and that 1,800,000 cu
bio yards of water had rushed into tho
mine, and caused numerons landslips.
The engineers are of tho opinion that it
will require three months to pnmp out
the water. The authorities returned to
Nimes profoundly afflioted. M, Dum
linbert, the Prefect, immediately open
ed a subscription for the relief of the
numerous families who are xeduoed to
a state of indigence by the death of
their husbands and song. Public ru
mor casta tho blame on the engineers,
bui the feet is that a waterspout burst
and caused a torrent, whioh rushed in*<
to the mine with such violenee and ra
pidity that even the overseers had not
time to. Bave themselves. An explo
sion of gas took plane at the same time,
by which a portion of the mine was
blown up. Though every means of
rescuing the victims have been taken,
there is but liitle probability of saving
tho lives of those "who are buried in
the mine. The utmost that can he
done is to bring the dead bodies to the
surface, The number of workmen
missing, and considered as killed by
the acoident, is nearly 3QP.

THE ORLEANS PRINCES —FRENCH REC-
OONITION OF THE REBELS,'
The English journals continue to be
greatly exercised about the entrance of
the French Princes into our service
While the French papers contend that
there is an obvious propriety in young
men of ardent temperament in casting
their lot with a Government that, in
its early struggles for national exist
ence, had received so much Freneh
sympathy and aid, it is contended by,
English papers, such as the Liverpool
Courier, that the President and his
Cabinet must have seen that their re
ception of the Hourbon Princes waß
calculated to alienate Louis Napoleon,
and dispose him to regard the agents
of the Southern Confederacy with fa*
vor. He may say, “You have acknow
ledged the position of pretenders to my
crown ; I will acknowledge the position
of the Southern States.’’
respecting the blockade.
A very lucid gleam of common sense,
then shines out in the columlts of the
Courier, when the question of the block
ado comes to be discussed... The editor
justly observes, that the acknowledge*
ment of the Southern States by all the
nations of Europe would not legalize
the breaking of the blockade. If the
blockade be effective it oannot be bro
ken by any State, without actual war
with the blockading nation. This prin
ciple is ratified and acknowledged by
every European power, and we may
expect that it will be respected.
