Tbe President and Tremont.
The President it ia now reduced to a certainty,
has determined on removing Gen. Fremont, from
the Department of Missouri. It Is not jet knowa
who his successor will be. lie will bo assigned
to a command ehiewiiere. The ultra Republican
B wgpapers are unnecessarily 6evere on President
Lincoln for taking this step. We feel certain.
Fremont would not have been removed, if the act
had not been imperatively demanded by the cir-
euoutances of the case, no has been weighed
In the balance and found wanting. He is a bold
and ambitions man, who we fear, only wants an
opportunity, to play the part of a second Aaron
Burr, lie cannot be watched too closely. Since
his arrival In St. Louis, bo has been constantly
-surrounded by his pew and favorites from Cali
fornia, aa corrupt a set of political gamblers as
the land contains. lie was engaged In forward
ing their plana for plundering the public treasu
ry, when he should have been sending on rein
forcements to the brave Vut unfortunate Lyon1
and the Intrepid Mulligan. The President has
dons well in removing him. At least, so says
very man In the land who is not an Abolitionist
If the Republican newspapers don't hush up on
this subject, the Democracy will soon be the only
upportcrB of the National Administration.
Fired TVltb Indignation.
The deputy Editors of the AReghanian. seem
to hold that the Board of School Directors of our
Borough, like the King, can do no wrong, and
that it is therefore a high crime, to find fault
with any of their acts. According to thia woolly
head organ, they possess the right to do jnst what
they please, and it is the duty of the people to
applaud their acts whether right or wrong.
They possess the right it soenn, to reject a com
petent teacher on account of his politics, and
thereupon it is the duty of the people to cry out
"well done good and faithful servants." The
parents and pupils of the district, were almost
unanimous in desiring the continuance of Mr, E.
D. Evans as a teacher, because he was well qual
ified for the position, a man of good moral char
cter, a taxpayer of the Borough, and one, who
'anable to use his left hand, could sot pursue any
avocation for- the support of himself and family,
tire that of school teaching. The common
promptings of humanity should have been suffi
cient to Induce the Directors to appoint him.
But low and dirty political spleen, triumphed
ever the better feelings of their nature. With
regard to Mr. Evans1 politics, it i sufficient to
tar, that he did not vote for "Alexander C. Mul
ling" last Tear neither did he vote for one Davy
Jones for Cotmty Treasurer in 1859. That was
the weight which pulled him down. Davy is
one of the Directors and gladly embraced this
opportunity, to pay JZv&ns back in his own coin.
Bally for you Davy you're a brick, and a model
director. We are sorry that we accidentally
tramped on the sensiive corns of the august per
sonages who com peso the School Board, and
faithfully promise that if they'll forgive us this
lime, well never do so again.
Our Foreign Relations.
A sharp correspondence recently took place
between Lord Lyons, the British Minister at
.Washington, and Mr. Seward, Secretny of State,
with regard to the arrest and imprisonment some
time ago, of two British subjects. Mr. Seward's
letter is both independant and spirited. . We
re no alarmist, but recent news, leads us to fear
that Great Britain, France and Spain, look on
the Southern rebellion with a frieuJly eye, and
irs dUpoeed to do all they can to embarrass our
Government. All they want is a favorable pre-
Mxt, for acknowledging the Independaace of the
Coutbern Confederacy. Under the circumstances
it behooves our Governmeit to prepare for the
Worst, and we are pleased to observe that the
powers that be," are turning their attention to
the iL&tUr. Tj be forewarned is to be forearmed
rueh a movement on the part of the great Euro
pean powers, would only tend to unite the poo
pie of the loyal States, more firmly in support of
ih Government and the Union. This Union,
"Never cI aJr -9v ex ei.a..!,
' ilordecai has been trying his hand at
writing an epitaph. The following Is his first
effort. He promises to do better next-time.
Here sleeps A. A. Barker,
Our dear beloved brother.
He has left this here world
And has gone to the toikcr.
In Samboe's dark corner.
In the regions below.
He dwells with old John Brown,
The Slaveholder' foe.
Hes in love with tho D 1
Because be is bhek, "
And tows to this world.
He will never come back;
Farewell then old Barker,
Our own cherished dear.
Here's to you and old Brown,
In a glass of small brer.
CT As we announced last week, the 'Silver
Grays" met in Wilmore . to day (Wednesday.)
for the purpose of orgaciaing, and electing offi
cers preparatory to starting for the seat of war.
A number of the gallant old patriots passed
through this place oa last Tuesday on their way
to the place of rendezvous. Several of them ser
ved their coca try faitiifully in the late war with
Great Britain and the Mexican war. Their pa
triotism is beyond praise, and their example is
well calculated
To stir a fever in the blood of age.
And make the sinews of the youth
Wax strong as steel."
03- A gentleman in Washington City requests
us to state, that a report which has been circula
ted in Johnstown, that Fix's Cornet Band have
disbanded since their departure from that place,
is untrue. They are playing for the 31st regi
ment of New York Volunteers. They left the
29th regiment, because the 3lst offered them
better usage and better pay. They are regarded
both by officers and men, as one of the best
bands in the army of the Potomac.
A Ghost. The boys who have had charge of
the Alleghanian, since the death of the lamented
Barker, have in imitation of the example we set
them last week, been trying their hands at wri
ting epitaphs. Naturalists tell us, that monkeys
are for nothing so remr rkable, a3 attempting to
imitate every thing they sec men doing. It is
the nature of the beasts. Hence we are not sur
prised at the deputies endeavoring to imitate
us in this little matter. But about the Ghost.
A number of marvelous stories have been float
ing around our town during the last week con
cerning the appearance of the Ghost of our old
and beloved Abolition friend, Barker. It seems
he has not only appeared to, but conversed with
several of our citizens. All this we confess is
hard to believe, but from the highly respectable
sources from which we have derived our informa
tion, we firmly believe that the Ghost of poor
brother Barker walks the earth like otherGhosts,
U never speaks utiles spoken to.
Speak not to him as he ralks along.
And he'll say naught to jou.
He sweeps along in his dusky pall.
As over the grass the dew.
His form you may trace.
But not his face,
'Tis painted black with coal.
But his eyes may be teen
The stains between,
And they seem of a parted soul.
"We are engaged in collecting all the facts with
regard to this remarkable apparition, and will
lay them before our readers in a connected nar-
ritive next week. It will be partly in Poetry
and partly in prose, aud will be cf deep aud
thrilling interest. Everybody should procure a
copy of the Democrat Sf Sentinel containing it.
Extra -copies will be for sale at the counter, in
wrappers ready for mailing.
3-The following ia a copy of the order issued
by the Secretary of War before he left St. Louis,
and after he bad visited Fremont at his bead
quarters, about which so much has been recently
said in Washington.
, St. Louis. Mo., October 14th ISGl Gen
eral: The Secretary of War directs me to com
municate the following as his instruction fur your
government :
In view of the heavy sums due, especially
in the quartermaster's department in tnis city,
amounting to scnlfe $4,500,000, it is important
that the money which may le in the hands of
the disbursing officers, or being received by them
be applied to the current expences of yonr army

Washiastoa for settlement : the disbursinz offi-
cers of the army to disburse the funds, and not
transfer them to irresponsible agents in other
words, those who do not hold a commission fivm
the President are not under bonds. All contracts
necessary to be made by the disbursing officers.
The senior Quartermoster here has been verbally
instructed by the Sec retary as above.
It is deemed unnecessary to erect field works
about this city, and, you will direct their discon
discontinuance ; also those, if any, in course of
construction at Jefferson City. In this connec
tion, it seems that a number of commissions have
been given by you. No payments will be made
to such officers, except to those whose appoint
ments have been approved of by the President.
This, of couroe, does not apply to the officers
with volunteer troops. Colonel Andrews has
been so instructed verbally by the Secretary ; also
not to moke transfers of funds except for the
purpore of paying the troops.
" The erection of barradks near your quarters
in this city to be discontinued at once.
" The Secretary has been informed that the
troops of General McLane's command are com
mitting depredations on our friends in western
Missouri. Your attention is directed to this, in
the expectation that you will apply the corrective

FALSE ONE I LOVE THEE STILL."
When first we met I believed thee truo.
And I was blest in thus believing;
But now I mourn that e'er I knew
A man so fair and so deceiving.
Few hare ever loved like me,
Oh, I have loved thee too sincerely;
And few have e'er deceived like thee
Alas; deceived me too severely.
Fare thee well, yet think awhile;
On me, whos bosom bleeds to doubt thee.
Who now would rather trust that, smile,
And die with thee than live without thee.
Fare thee well ni think cf thee.
Thou leavest me many a bitter token;
For see distracting man see.
My peace is gone, my heart is broken.
The Legislature.
After examining the returns from every quar
ter of the State, we are satisfied that the Democ
racy, will have at least seven of a majority in
the next House of Representatives of this State.
This is a big change from last year. Then Black
Republicanism was everywhere victorious. Now
th standard of Democracy, floats in triumph
from every hill top in the State. The party has
i-lected its very best men as Representatives, and
the Black Republican cormorants, who last win
ter, pi eyed unmolested on the public carcass,
will during the coming session j jare tot lay low
and keep easy. Of course the Senate is strongly
Republican, although wc have gained several
members.
LETTER FROJI THE "CAMBRIA
GUARDS."
Camp Pifbpoxt, Va., Oct,14th
Friend Murray. Since I wrote to you.
the 11th Regiment was at Great Falls on
picket, but as "Veritas" has written a full
account of doings of the Regiment while there
it will be unnecessary to do so at this time,
From tbe time the regiment returned from tbe
Falls until last Tuesday nothing of importance
occured to disturb the even tenor of camp life
The election passed off quietly in O. N. Our
election was held ia the Captain's quarters.
The result has reached "Ye Ancient Village"
before this time.
Wednesday, 9th. the division- of Pa, re
serves under Gen, McCall, left camp Tenally
about 3 P. M. and marched towards the chain
bridge. The advance of the army was inter
rupted by frequent halts, but after we reach
ed and crossed the bridge our march was
continued without interruption for botweon
four or five miles on the 'sacred soil of Va
At dusk a halt was ordered and we were in
formed the officers were selecting a camping
ground for the night. Soon the command
was given to fall in again, when we were
marched by a circuitous route to a ploughed
field and after considerable manoeuvering we
were ordered to stack arms and quietly lie
down to rest. After eating 6upper from the
coutents of our haversacks and canteens we
rolled ourselves in our blaukets and lay down
on the soft cround to rest. Notwithstand
ing the night was damp and cold, we were
not allowed to make any fires. Late in the
evening Col. Gallaher came around, and or
dered as to get up and load, so as to be ready
for a surprise, if the rebels attempted to dis
turb our slumbers. However the night pas
sed quietly and Thursday morning found us
up bright and early, for another day's work.
With morninig's dawn came some scenes
which I hope will not occur again at least
among the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps
The soldiers commenced plundering the farui
on which we were encamped of corn, pota
toes, chickens, pigs in short of everything
they could lay their hands on. None were
compelled by Lunger to take these things,
because each man was supplied, or had the
opportunity of supplying himself with two
iays provisions, before they left camp Ten
nally. About 7 o'clock a m., the call to fall
in, was given which at once put aa end to it ;
tbe 11th Regt. , was first marched into a field
adjoining the one in which they encamped
over night. After halting there a short
time it was countermarched and taken into a
strip of woods near by, and the men set to
work to clear out a place for camp. The axe
booh began to resound through the forest and
tbe woods presented the appearance of a large
clearing. Towards evening, our cook, cook
ing utensils aud part of our tents, arrived
from camp Tenally. The lucky occupants
of the tents at once proceeded to pitch them,
while the less unfortunate in the company
whose canvas had been left behind for want
of means of transportation proceeded to make
sheds of poles covered with leaves Thurs
day night it rained slowly antil about "two
hours after midnight. Friday was passed in
cleaning, and fixing op things in our camp
jpg groand. The plundering of houses to ,
was stopped this morning by our officers.
Squads of soldiers were sent out to take all who
were found disgracing themselves and the
cause ic which they are engaged in fighting
for. Friday evening turned ia wet. Du
ring the night it rained very hard.onr sheds
affording but little protection against the
drenching shower. As we were eating oar
dinner on Saturday, the long roll was beat
and wo were ordered to fall in on double
quick. The regt, was immediately formed
in front of their quarters, and awaited future
events. Tbe rumor wss that the enemy were
approaching to attack us with a large fprce
of artillery and cavalry. After, standing io
in line about two nours cacn company was
marhed to its quarters, stack arms and be
ready to be called oat at a moments notice.
We were not called oat agaiu daring the day,
but aa we were about retiring, we were or
dered to have our arms at hand so as to be
! rea-jr rH in at o e".?cT: ?3-y T?"rnrjT-
Aa attack was expected by our officers at that
time, At four o'clock we were called out,
stacked arms, and most of as retired to rest
again. The anticipated attack was not made
bat, we are still under marching orders, and
know not how soon we may be called out
again. Fatigue parties have been busily en
gaged sinco we came here in cutting down
the timber ia front of as, so that oar artillery
will have an opportunity of doing effective
service against tbe rebel?, if they attack aa,
as well as to impede their approach to our
position. The members of company A. bear
the fatigues and privations of the campaign
as soldiers should. All are in excellent spir
its and anxious for a fight, in whioh I am
certain they will do themselves much credit
Truly yours, II.

A correspondent of the Louisville Journal.
writing from Lebanon, Ky., under date of

Three oien passed through Lebanon yes
terday afternoon on their way to their homes
in the Southern Confederacy.
They say that divisions under Buckner,
Polk and Zollicoffer are combining, and that
when the commands are finally joined, the
grand army under Polk will embrace from
30, 000 to 40,000 men, who are well armed
and equipped. It is the policy of tbe rebels
to draw out Ilouseaa's forces as far as possi
ble on the line of the Louisville and Nashville
road, and then with their superior force, to
flank them and cut off their retreat, and then
with the federal forces corrpletely in their
power, to make an easy conquest of Louis
ville.
The officers cf tho rebel army, they say.
are rernlarly informed as to the movements
of the Federal forces. familiar with their num
bers, and posted 00 their designs. The reb
el itpies are said to be cuonUg and active.
employing means heretofore unheard of to
acquaint themselves with the movements of
our forces. Tbey pass our lines upon forged
passes, and even obtain passes through the
connivance and interference of persons of in
fluence who are thought to be loyal. It is
the custom of the rebel horsemen to rip opens
their saddles, secrete tbeir correspondence in
them, sew tbcm up again, and thus avert de
tection, even after submitting to aigid exam
ination. In some cases, they secrete letters
in the lining of their horse's bridles, and thus
eluding tbe Federal guards.
Rodger llansou is in v oodsonville, which
is tbe nearest point toward Louisville on the
Nashville road, at which the rebels have con
siderable force. They are making entrench
ments and erecting batteries there, and will
strongly oppose the Federal advance beyond
Wood-onville. Tbey say that on Sunday they
6aw twelve heavy pieces of artillery there,
which were being placed in position.
The traveller spoke with a display of glee
cf the condition and numbers of the rebel ar
my ; of the perfect confidence in an early vic
tory ; and of the completeness of their arma
ments and general outfit. They saw a body
of over two thousand Indians, who were splen
didly equipped, each bearing a bowio knife
to almost fabulous proportions, in addition to
the ordinary arms worn by the infantry.

assas ran into a vessel, striking her near the
bow, and cutting into her about twenty feet.
Appalling shrieks were heard aboard the doom
ed ship ; signal rockets were fired; the enemy
beat to quarters, and a perfect iron hail fell
upon and around Manastas, daring which br
machinery became deranged. Tha Tuscarora
and tbe Watson came up with - five bargas
which had been cat loose and set adrift on
the stream.
The prizes captured, were the Joseph H.
Stone, and a launch belonging Ix the Feder
al steamer Richmond, which latter was la
deced with cutlasses.
The vessel sunk waa not the Preblo. bat
the Vineennes.
The vessels of our expedition arrived on
Saturday morning.
