GEN. FBEMOWT.
This gentleman has, for Borne months,
attracted an unusual amount of public
attention; what he has done to cause
him to fill so large a space, we do not
understand. He was considered unfit-
ted for the position of commander of
our Western division when it was be
stowed upon him, and he has certainly
done nothing since to show himself able
for the command of so important a trust.
What object the Administration could
have in removing Fremont, except the
public good we can not comprehend;
we have every confidence in the Presi"
dent’s abxiety for the suppression of the
rebellion by the speediest means, and
unless he has reasons of a most undoubt
ed character of Fremont’s want of abili
ty, he would never have consented to
his removal; We perceive that some of
our Republican cotemporaries attribute
his dismissal to the intrigue of some of
Mr. Lincoln’s cabinet, and that their
cry -against his speculations and con
tracts, is Only intended to direct atten
tion from their own rascalities. These
matters we know nothing of, but we do
not believe that all the corruption com
plained of in tt e army, is to be found in
the Western division in Missouri.
That Fremont, was aware of his ina
bility for the command assigned him,
we firnfly believe; and anticipating his
dismissal, he has endeavored to create
discontent among the army, we consider
certain. If thiß be the case it furnishes
the very best reason for his dismissal.—
So far back as Oct. 7 th, Bussell of the
London Times wrote that ‘ it was whis
pered the other day that General Fre
mont, ifhe were ordered to doso, would
not resign until he had beaten Price,
and there was no disapproval expressed
of any such conduct on his part.” “If
he whips Price,” said one in reference to
themmor that he was superseded, “I
should like to see either the President or Si
mon Cameron venturing to displace Fremont.”
/ The account published by us yester
day. of there being great excitement
and indignation among the army, be
cause of Fremont’s removal, lookß very
much as if they had been prepared for
it,-and the General’s soft words, in giv
ing up command, does not relieve the
matter in the least.
General Harney, a soldier of unques
tioned -ability was removed, to make
plqce for Fremont, and we heard noth
ing. of the indignant uprising in the
Western .Army. General Butler, the
only officer who has made an important
math in l the. Potomac division, has been
relieved; iOf his command, and is now
nbaming about New England in the
capacity of Btump orator and recruiting
officer; ' How does it happen that Mas
sachusetts does nbt rise in her sovereign
pOWer and demand to know why her
leading General has been thrust to one
sidei after his having given unquestion
ed evidences of ability. The Hon. .Tos.

With as much propriety make the same
"inquiry in relation to Fremont. His un
locked for nomination for the Presi
denqy in lBsfr, tdrned his bead; and he
seems to have been Wrong ever since.— :
The truth is that John C. Fremont is

Compliment to Cussewago-
Our readers have, we doubt not, read
with pleasure the vivid descriptions of
camp life by our correspondent “ Cusse
wago,” attached to Col. Black’s regi
ment. They are racy and interesting,
because naturally written and without
any attempt at poetical embellishment.
A correspondent of the Boston Pilot,
writing from Minor’s Hill, near Fall’s
Church, Va , on the 2d Inst., over the
signature of “ M. A. F.” pays “ Cusse
wago” the following well merited com
pliment :
“We had a glorious time on Sunday
evening last. The officers of the Penn
sylvania 33d regiment, some of whom
are true Irishmen, paid us a visit, and
their brother officers of the Ninth did
not fail to treat them as gentlemen. —
They BCemed entirely surprised at the
reception they met, and, did not fail to
express their sentiments freely and un
reservedly. They are an excellent set
of officers, intelligent and gentlemanly,
and 1 trust that the good leelings that
now exist will continue, and the officers
of the 33d have no reason to regret their
acquaintance with the gallant officers of
the Ninth. We had beautiful speeches
from Colonel Cass, acting Major Uuiney,
and that Bturdy little hero, Lieut, .lohn
W. Mahan, on the part of the Ninth,
and Capt. O’Brien, Capt. MacDonald,
Private Onslow, and otherofficers whose
names I do not now remember, on the
part of the 33d It was a pleasant oc
casion, and was productive of much good
feeling. Long may snohscenes continue.
Lqpg may the eloquent ‘’Cussewago” be
spared to write his beauteous descrip
tions of camp life and camp scenery.—
Let us hope that one Who is apparently
so worthy will Roon be in a position to
wjiich his talents, hia merits, and hia
patriotism, justly entitle him.”
Death ef a Naval Hero.
Ernest Walton, the seaman belong
ing to the Resolute, who was wounded
while endeavoring to oapture a rebel
boat, when the officer in charge and
fwo other men were killed, died this
morning at the Naval Hospital. He
was thought to be out of danger, al
though the bullet penetrated hia brain,
until he died suddenly. To this man
belongs a great deal of the credit of
saving the boat of the Resolute, severe
ly wounded as he was. He was an Eng
lishman by birth, and was attached to
Lord Lyons’ fleet in the Crimea, and
was detailed to man the batteries before
Sebastopol. Escaping the terrible fire
of the Russians, it was his fate to fall
before the deadly bullets of the rebels,
in defence of the flag he had adopted
as his own. He will be bnried with
military honors by the two gun crews
of the ho waiter battery at the Navy
Yard.
Cen. McClellan’s War Polic\
At a recent dinner given by General
McClellan, he is said to have remarked
to a gueßt, that there was no power on
earth, neither that of the press or polis
tieians, that should cause him to swerve
a hair’s breadth from the policy which
he had adopted in relation to the pres
ent war. Availing himself of all the
military wisdom that is in the posses
sion of the ofiioers around him, togeths
er with his own mature experience, her
has, to the best of his own ability adopt
ed a plan of warfare to which he in
tends to adhere most rigidly. Know
ing, as he does, that the fate of the na
tion is in his hands, and that a single
blunder might forever estrange him
from the support and confidence of the
people, he has resolved to propose and
dispose of all the military power now
at his command, and to venture a blow
only at the time when in his own mind
he is convinced that the exigencies of
the occasion demand that it should be
strnok.
Judge Grier on the Cass of the Pirates'
Philadelphia, Mov. i, 18G1
In the Circuit Court this morning the
caso of Patrel, the pirst was called up,
but postponed til) next Monday. While
the Assistant District Attorney was nrging
the trial, Judge Grier said he could not
consent to have the regular business of the
court Interrupted, it seemed like a farce
to try thorn at this time, when the coun
try played civil war. Tho dictates of hu
manity would counsel the government to
treat captives on the sea the same as thoso
taken on land, and he could not under
stand the policy of hanging the first and
holding the latter as prisoners or releasing
them. Lot the rebellion be crushed—and
God grant that it may be speedily —and
these men might be tried for treason or pi
racy, and he would assist, no matter how
much he might be called Jeffreys or
Scroggs.
ggylt 19 still confidently declared that
the rebels intend wintering a portion of
their army in Maryland. They certainly
can inrow an army across, now. that the
Potomac is practically closed, as it is
known they have boats enough to do it.—
We have a number of troops on thatßhore,
but not enough, perhaps, to prevent an
attack in great force. The passage would
bring on a series of battles of necessity.
correspondent of a Boston pa
per asserts: We know noton what evi
dence —that the “U. S. Government are
fitting out two more great expeditions
against the shores and strongholds of
the rebels. Both the ships and men
are to be despatched as soon as possible.
One of these new expeditions is to be
commanded by Gen. Butler, and the
other by Gen. Burnside. They are des
tined to crush out treason wherever they
strike. Their destination is a profound
secret, though the preparations have
been going on for some time past, and
are now being more actively pressed
forward than ever"." 1 1

Foreign News.
*We select the following from the last
letter of Kussell to the London Tiynes ;
Lincoln and. McClellan.
It is significant enough of the relations
between tho State and the army to see Mr.
Lincoln wain over daily more than once to
visit Gen. McClellan’s quarters. Pray do
not think 1 deßire to insinuate that the
Gener 1 is in any way desirous-that tie
chief of the State should adopt that course
or that he Bbould consider it beneath him
to wait on the Executive, instead of the
Executive waiting upon him. Young as
he is, and suddenly elevated to such a
giddy height, he is perfectly modest, un
assuming, and uninflated, though quite
self possessed, calm, self respecting and re
ticent. But his reticence is very severely ]
taxed, for the President desires to know all
things “And hang me, if I were Mc-
Clellan, if I’d tell him or any man my
plans.” The great abyss which lies be
tween the Sovereign and tho mbjeet in our
deluded and ridiculous old countries does
not exist over here, and.tho President and
the general stand very much on the same
piano. The private soldier saunters into
the drawing-rooms of the White Houbo on
reception nights, and shakes hands with
Mr. Preident as affably as if he were not a
Sovereign and President-maker. I am
bound to add, the private soldier in his
hodden-gray behaves himself perfectly.
McCtellau and Beauregard,
To my mind them is eometbing of re
semblance between the men. Both are be
low the middlo beighL They are both
squarely built, and famed lor muscular
power since their college dins. Beaure
gard, indeed, is loan and thin-ribbed; Me.
(Jlellan is lull and round, wbith a Napo
leonic tendency to embonpoint, subdued by
incessant exercise. Beauregard sleeps lit
tic-: McClellan's temperament requires a
lull share uf rest: both are spare and
Spartan in diet, studious, quiet, lioauro
gard is rather batumlne, and, if not
melancholic, is of a grim gaiety; McClellan
is genial even iu his reserve. The density
of the hhir, the squareness of tho Jaw, tho
tlrmnuss and regularity of tho teeth, and
tho outlines of the features are points of
similarity in both, which wuuld be more
.striking if Beauregard were not of tho truo
Louisianian Creole tint, while McClellan
i 3 fair-complectionod, Beauregard has a
dark, dull student’s eye, tho dullnes of
| which arises, however, lrom its formation,
for it is lull ul tire, and its glances are
quick and searching. McClellan has a
dorp clear eye, into which you can look
far and deep, while you foe) it searches far
and dc-ep into you. Beauregard has sumo*
tiling - I proh-nH’.i-n in his manner—not
hauu ur, but u ioldiug-armed, meditative
port of air, whih u.ems to say, “Dod’i dis- 1
turb mo; I’m thinking of n ihtary move* 1
ment-s." McClellan seems to be always at
leasure; but you feel at tho same time you
ought not to intrude too much upon him,
oven when you seek in vain for the grounds
of that unproßeiun 10 any thing that ho is
doing or saying. Beauregar i is more sub"
tie, crafty and artuu; McClellan is mere
comprehensive, more learned, mure im
pressionable B laurogaui is a thorough
fioldier; MtC.ciian may prove he is a great
general. The former i nly looks to mili
tary consequence*, and disregards popular
manifestations; tho latter respects the
opinions of the outer world, and sees politi
cal as well as military results in' what he
orders. Thoy are both the creatures of
accident, so iar as their present positions
ar e concerned. It remains to be 6een if
either can control the current of events,
and if in either the artillerymen or the cav*
olry officers of tho old Uuilod States army
there is tho stud’around which h story is
moulded, such as that of which the artil
lerymen ol Brienno or tho leader of the
Ironsides was made.

The impracticable nature of the dispute
is shown in the incidents of the subsidiary
expeditions. In Missouri and Kentucky
separate wars are pen dine;, almost irre*

Beauregard uiny retain over bis bouton*

timatod that Gen. Fremont might possibly
refuse obedience to President Lincoln, and
continuo the campaign even if ordered to
resign. X 1 he were to win a battle, he
would, it is said, become absolutely his
own master. But though in these remoter
districts the armies are smaller, and the
commanders, as having less at stake, loss
circumspect in their movements, yet noth*
ing decisive can be accomplished. Cities
are taken and evacuated, battles won and
b>st, wonderlul marches achieved, and pur
suits undertaken ; but Missouri is no near
er being a Confederate or Unionist State
than it was at first. Kentucky is similarly
divided, and in theso sundered States we
see the image of the whole Union. Mary*
land, though certainly in'tbe- hands-of4he
Federal Government, offers no example of
better things. The Unionists do contfrivo
there to hold in subjugation the disaffected
portion oi the population, but at what
cost '! This little State* comparatively un
important in all but position, is only kept
down by an army of 35,000 men quartered
within her limits. Let the reader look at
the size of Maryland on the map, and then
say what force would be repaired to occupy
and overawe those vast States of the {South
which have renounced their allegiance to
the Union.
The Southerners, no doul>t, have a dis
tinct and intelligible purpose before them.
They desire to repel and exclude all Inter*/
vention of ihe.Northerners in their affairs;
but to do tbis they must defeat the efforts
of a population of twenty millions bent
upon coercing them stall hazards. Against
this cry of Idependenco the Northerners
sot up the ory of Union, but how the Uns
ion can possibly bo reconsolidated after
what has happened nobody appears to
know or to think. At present there ie but
one feeling throughout America. Both
sides are resolved to fight, and in this de*

The spirit of Sod wifcflf might tuifsirrd

And like allits beaded anarchs Aid,
Like vultures frighted from Imaans,
Before an earthquake’s tread —

Oa Philnppi half alighted,
Like an eagle on a promonolory.

From age to Age, from man to man.
It lived, and lit from land to land
Florence, Albion, Switzerland. ,
Then night fell; and, as from night,
Re-RMftuming fiery flight,
From the West swift Freedom came,
Against the c lurse of heaven and doom,
A second sun array’d in flame,
To burn, to kindle, to illume,
From far Atlantis its young beams,
Chased the shadows and the dreams.
France, w t th all her sanguine steamp,
Bid, but quenched it not; again
*i hrough clouds its sbalts of glory ram

As an eagle fed with morn.ng
Acorns the embattled tempest’s warning,
When she seeks her eyrie hanging
In the mountain cedar’s hair,
And her brood expect the clanging
uf her w inga through the wild air.
Sick with Famine;—Freedom, so
To what of Greece remaindth now
Returns ; her hoary ruins glow

The Sharpshooters on Both Sides*
That the enemy have many good
marksmen is proved by the events at
Bull’s Run and Ball’s Bluff. So in
Missouri. The following story is told
in the St. Louis Republican :
it is re’ated that one old fellow* du
ring the continuance of the siege, was j
in the habit of going up every morning
within musket range of the entrench
ments, ensconcing himself under cover
of a tree, and blazing away at whoever
exhibited himself above tho earthworks
of the government troops. He took
his dinner with him, and after loading
and firing till noon, he paused for re*
fre“hments, “whioh ever as with haste
he could dispatoh,” he would smoke his
pipe and begin his work again. Acting
on the advice given to the Irishman at
Donnybrook Fair—“wherever you Bee
a head, hit it” —this backwoods rebel
picked off one after another of Mulli
gan's men with as much ■ complaisance
jas he would shoot a squirrel. Others
I climbed trees and fired inside the for*
| tifications at selected objects. In the
recent affair at Big River, Capt. Elliot
states that a white blanket, improvised
| as a flag of truce, and elevated above
[ the little breastworks was instantly
pierced by twenty or thirty bullets
showing the accurate aim of Jeff.
Thompson’s men.
We have a partial offset to this in
j the following : On the day after the
I fight at Conrad’s Ferry, while Gen.
Stone was endeavoring to make good
his position on the Virginia side, al
-1 though a whole brigade of rebels stood
forth in line and menaced us, the
Southern standard could not be reared
i before our eyes. Three successive
times the bearers were shot down, uni
til it was allowed to droop into some ob
■ p.cure and invisible corner. 1 believe
that one Bharpshoofer alone kept the
disunion flag dowr. lie never saw it
rise but that he made its bearer instant
ly fall with it.
We take the following extracts from
the letter of a Confederate soldier of
Louisiana in Virginia to tho New Or*
leans True Delta:
Camp Vincent, near Norfolk,Va,
October 13, 1861.
Eds. True Delta : Dr. Trott, Ensign
of Ist Regiment Louisiana volunteers,
having obtained a furlough to visit
your city, affords an opportunity to
write, with an assurance that it will
reach you. I have upon two previous
occasions, in compliance with promise,
forwarded communications from this
camp, but have never Heard irom them
since. This is rather remarkable.
What could have become of them? Wile?
they suppressed? These are ques tionfijyou
can answer as best you can. I know
our friends iu New Orleans are glad to
hear from their friends at the seat of
war, and ore not -very particular as to
the style in which these tidings are gath*
ered up, provided troth, fair dealing,
' and interest characterize them. I am
satisfied a daring system ot espionage
has been practised upon some of us,
who had been anxious to keep our
friends and the public posted in relation
to military transactions in this depart
ment of the army of Virginia, whioh is
disgraceful to those in power; but truth,
like murder, must ultimately “out,”and
it is my determination to keep you ful
ly posted in future, not only in matters
of news, but all affairs concerning
us.
It is my candid opinion that the Lin
coln Government covets the possession
o i New Orleans above all other southern
ports, and that the real objeot of -the
movement south is to obtain a foothold:
in your vicinity as a basis of future opv
erations.; They know full well that the!
possession of New Orleans by them;
would have about the same effect upon
the Confederacy,that the possession of
New York and intermediate points by
us would have upon the Northern Gov
ernment. It would, for the time, par
alyze and cast a gloomy shade around
us, while, on the other hand, it would
embolden and inspire with) confidence
our enemy. It is tlie policy of our
State, at whatever sacrifice, to keep
them frpm) our shore, and in order to
do so—mark my word—vast prepare,
tions must be made, and the greatest
I vigilance exercised, You need well
drilled and experienced soldiers for'this
; service, and as the first regiments have
, been doing nothing and are likely to
| be required:to do ; nothing where we.are
at present situated, would .if notbe wis
dom in Gov. Moore to recall ug in the

and property of our immediate friends ?
