We left St. Louis Oct. 12, for General Fremont's headquarters, at Tipton. 1G0 miles distant, passing the eight at Jefferson City, theCaiitol of Missouri, 125 miles distant from St. Louis- Gen Price was in command of the place, with a force of 1,200 men The Eight Iowa wa3 there en route for Tipton. At this place they were accumulated a large quantity cf forage, landed from steamboats, and means of transportation ; also' the half barrels for carrying the water, and a number of mulea. which Capt. Turnley said he could not get forward, having no control over the transportation by rail road. We arrived at Tipton at 9 A. M. of the 13th- The Secretary of War was called upon by Gen. Fremont, and upon his invita tion, accompanied him to Syracuse, about five miles distant, to review Geu. Mekioister s division, adout 8.000 strong. This body of troops is said to be the best equipped and the best supplied of the whole army. They cer tainly are, as far as means of transportation are concerned. At Tipton, besido Gen Fremont and staff, bis body-guard, &c , I found a part of Gen. Hunter's First Division and Gen. Asboth's Fourth DiaHion. The force designed to act against Price con sists of five divisions, a? follows : First Division Hunter's at Tipton 9.75C Second ., Pope's at Georgetown 9,220 Fourth ,, Sigel's at Sedalia 7,930 Fifth Asboth's at Tipton 6,451 Sixth ,, McKioistry'i at Syracuse 5.318 Total 33 789 As soon a I obtained view of the several en campments at Tipton, I expressed the opiniou that the forces there assembled c uld not be moved, as scarcely any means of transporta tion were visible. I saw Gen. Hunter, second in command, and conversed freely with him. He slated that there was great confusioD, and that Gen. Fremont was utterly incompetent ; that bis own division was greatly scattered, and the force there present detective in many respects ; that he himself required 100 wagons, but that he was under orders to march that day. and some of his troops were already drawn out on the road- His cavalry regiment (Ellis's)had horses and iadiffirent arms but no equipments,. The men had to carry their catridges iu their vest pockets consequently on their fijst days march from Jefferson City, in a heavy rain, the catridges were destroyed. The march to Tipton (35 miles) was made on a mud road, heavy and miry with rains, aud parallel with the railroad, and but a short distance from it. The troops were directed by Gen. Fremont to march withour provis ions or knapsacks, and without transportation. A violent rain-storm came up, and the troops were exposed to it all night ; were without food twenty-hours; and when food was re ceived, the beef was found to be spoiled. General Hunter stated to me that he had jas received a report from one his Colonels, inf inning him that but twenty out cf a hun dred of his guns would go off. These were the guns procured by Fremont in Europe. I will here state that General Sherman, at Louisville made to me a bimitar complaint of the great inferiority of thesa European arms He had givo the men orders to file down the nipples. In conversation with Col. Swords Aftsistant Quarterrnastet General at Louisville just from California, he'stated that Mr. Selo ver who was in Europo with Gen. Fremont, wrote to some friend in San Francisco that his share of the profits of the purchase of theie arms was $30,000. When Gen. Hunter received, at JtlTerson City, orders to march to Tipton, he was dir ected to take 41 wagons with him. when he had only 40 mulef, which fact had been dily reported at headquarters. At this time, Col. Steveson, of the Seventh Missouri R'igimeut. was without Gen. Hunter's knowledge was taken from him, leavin him, when under marching orders, with only oiw Regiment at Jefferson City fit to take the field. Gen. Hunter also howed me orders for marchiu? io Darocks Ferry, dated at Tipton. October 10, which he did not receive until the 12th. (Exhibit No. 10.) He also show ed ma his reply, proving; that it was imposs ible for bim to comply with the order to march. (Exhibit No. 11.) This order was changed to one requiring him to make a single days march. (Exhibit No. 12) When Fen Pope received his order to march at Georgetown, twenty-five mi!s dis tant. h wrote a letter back to Gen. Hunter, which I read. It set forth the utter imposs ibility of his moving for the want of transpor tatian an 1 supplies and asked whether Gen. Fremont conld of meant what he bad written. AH of the foregoine facts goto f-how the want of military foresight on the part of Gen. Fremont in directing the necessary means for pu'ting into, and mantaining in, the field, the forces under his command. Gen Hunter stated that alrhough the sec ond in command, he never was consu'tad by Gsn Fremont, and never knew anything of his intentions. Such a parellel I will venture to aeserf, cannot be found in the annals of of military warfare. I have also b?en inform ed that there is Lot a Miesonrian on his staff not a man acquainted personally with the topography and physical characteristics of the country or its people The fiilare of Gen. Fremont to reinforce Gen Lyon demands notion. Gen. Freswnt rrived at St Louis on the 26th of July cal led from New York by a trlegraphic dispatch stating that Gen. Lvon was threaroned with destruction by 30.000 rebels. At this time Geu. Pope had nine regiments in North Mis souri, where the rebels had no emb odied force.

(Pilot Knob and Cape Girarb.vt were forti fied after Gen. Freinout's arrv.) .VI! these places conld be reinforced by railroad aud river from St. Louis and the Northwestern States, could hold out until reinforced, even if attacked by a superior force. On bis arrival at St. Louis, Geo. Fremont was met Capt. Ctvender, First Missouri, and Major Farrar aid-de camp to Gen. Lyon, with statements from the letter, and requests for reiuforcemects ; Major Phelps. M. C. from Springfield. Dr Miller, of Omaha, and mny other cttizens. having ample means of infor mation, made the same representations, and urged the sending of reinforcements. To Gov. Gamble, Gen. Fremont said "Gen. Lyon is as strong as any other officer in this line."' He failed to strengthen Lyon, and the result is well known, was the defeat of the most gallant officer The two regiments at Rlla should have been pushed forward, and the whole of Pope's nine regiments brought by rail to S.. Louis to Rolla, and theuce sent to Lyon's force. Any other Geueral in such an emergency would, have pursued this obvious courcc The battle of Springfield for more strictly Wilson's Creek, one of the most des perate ever fought on this continent took place August 10th, whet, the brave Lyon fill, and the troops borne down by greatly superi or numbers wete obliged to fall back but were unpurued by a badly beaten foe. Gen Fremont called four regiments from North Missouri, and went with them to Cairo. It ts evidaat that he had no indention of re enforcing Gen. Lyon, for the two ngimenls at Holla, r25 miles from Springfield, received no orders to march, and were not supplied with transportation, and thirty or forty hired wagons, just returned from Springfield,, were discharged at Rolla, August 4th seven days before the pattle, and were returned to St. Louis. After the news of the battle reached St: Louis, four other regiments were drawu from Pope in North M it-sou ri, and sent to Rolla. Better to have called in these troops before the battle, as after the battle the whole revo lutionary elements were let loose. The six regiments accomplished nothing. They were not ordered to advance and cover the retreat of Lyon's army, although it was supposed is St. Louis that Price and McCulIough were following it. oud that Hardee bad moved up to cut off his retreat on the Gasconade. An advanc? of three regiments would have enabled the army to retrace its steps, and to beat the forces of Price aud M'Cullouh so badly that they would have been unable to follow our force in their retreat. It is said that every ofiicer in Lyon's army expected to meet reioforcemeuts, acd return with them and drive Price and M'Cullough frjm the South wrst. General Hunter arrived at St Luis from Chicago, called thither on a suggestion from Washington as an adviser. Gen Fremont submitted to him for consideration and advice a paper called, Disposititons for Resaking Springfield.' It sets out with a sta'emeot that Springfield is the strong strageiical point of teat wile elevation which separates the waters of the Osage from those of the Arkan sas, the key to the whole Southwestern Mis souri, comraaodicg an area of nearly 60.000 miles. Why did this not enter the brain of Major General Fremoot before the fall ot Lyon, and he strain every nerve to h'ld tha important key in his possession. Gen Hunter, in answer to the pspT, re plied : 'Why march on Springfv-ld where there is no enemy or nothing to take? Let me rath er take the troops and proceed to Lexington in which direction Price is marching, arid where he expects to be reinforced by 40.000 rebels ' Instead of this he was sect to Holla without instructions, and remained if.ere until ordered to Jefferson city, still without in st uctions, and thence to Tipton, where we found them (See exhibit no 13 ) No steps have been taken to meet Price in the Sel l, he niov:f forward his lice of march j plainly indicating his intention of proceeding j to Lexington. When within some thirty five miles of the place, he remained teu or more ui wtueimy expecting wnt snm movement would be made against him. None being made he advanced, and with his much supe rior fore--, laid siege to Lexington, which was defended by MuIIum wi.h 2.700 men, on the 12th of September, and captured it in nine days thereafter, oa the 21st of Septem ber. Now for the Tacts to si)w that this catas trophe could have bneu prevented, aud Price's army di&troyed before or aft-jr that disastr ous affair, before Price got to Lexington, the forces to resist him were as follows At Jtfferson city. 5,500 ; At Rolla, 4,000; a Iong the Hannibal and St. Joseph railroad, about 5,000 ; on the Western Line of M is souri, under Lane, down near Fort Scott, 2.300 ; a large force in Illinois, along the Mississippi River an 1 on the Iowa line Outside of St L-mis were some 17,000 , in St Louis itself. 18,000: and Mulligan's for nnc TOO O I .1 . . . iov. oay, nowever, mat tnere were only 10,000 there. Hunter's plan up to Sun day Septembnr 22, was to coventrate from St LduLj. Jtflersin city and Rolla, also from the Hannibal and St Joseph Railroad. 20,000 men, and relieve Mulligan He said that if Price was a soldier Lexiegtou had already fallen ; but with energy Price could be captu ed. with all his baggage aod plunder. The objection to this that may be urged that there was no transportation is an idle ooe. The railroad and the river were at command. '....) I. - L e ri . . . i.u iue uiarcu iroro eUalia. was only forty. j five miles long. The force could, Gen Hun j ter supposed, be thrown into Lexington by j Thursday, aud as it appears, before it was j taken. Gen Fremont ordered Sturgis in North j Missouri to Lex'ngton. and by crossing the river, to reinforce Mulligan. Sturgi bad only 1.100 men, and on reaching the river opposite the town, found it commanded by Price, and cf course was compelled to fall back. Hunter's plan of moving these troops was to strike the river at a point below Lex ington iu our coutrol, to cross it and march up to the town. Ia the interview with Gen Fremont, the question was asked whether any orders had been given to reinforce Mulligau, and the reply being in the negative, Gen Hunter suggested orders to Sturgii ; and had the order then been given by telegraph, he would have reached the river before Price I . f a 1 uaa laseu possession of the North bank and could have crossed. The order was not eiv- en until turee days after this interview. The loss of time was fatal. Mulligan was ordered to from Jefferson city, then garrisoned with 5.000 troops, with only one regiment, and with that to hold Lexington until he could be lelieved. When Lexington fell Price had nnder his command 20.000 men, and his force was receiving dai ly augmentations from the disaffected in the State. Ha was perm'tto l to gather muoii plunder, and to fall back towards. Arkansas unmolested, until I was at Tipton on the 13. of October, when the accounts wre that he was crossing the Osage. Fremont's order to march was issued to an army of nearly 40,000 men, many of the regimentb badly equipped, with inadequate Fupp'ips of ammunition, clo thing and transportation With what pros pect, it must be inquired, can Gen Fremont. i under such circumstances, expect to overtake a retreating army, some one hundred miles ahea?. with a de-p river between ? Geu Hunter expressed to the Secretary of War his decided opinion that Gen Fremont was incompetent, and UTifit for h 8 extensive and important command. This opinion he auu luipoi tau k uouiujiiiiu. xuis ujjimuu uc j gave reluctantly, for" the reason that he held th; position of second in command The opinion entertained by gentlemen of position aud intelligence, who have approach ed and observed him. is. that he is more fond of pin:p than of the stern realities of war that his mind is incapable of fixed attention or concentration that by his mismanage ment affairs since his arrival in Missouri, the State has almost bjen lost and that if he is contiuued in command, the worst results may be anticipated. This is the current testimo ny of a largo number of the most intelligent men iu Missouri. Leaving Tipton on the 13th. we arrived at St Louis on the same day, and on the 14th the Secretary of War directed me to issue the foilowinc instructions to Gen Fremont. St. Loci-,, Mo. 14. 1 SGI.

They no longer seek to conceal or deny the fact, that they rlo nt de sire to see this var brought to a ehe.until everv slave in the Southern States is a freeman. This, Horace Greely, Senator Sumner, Henry "Ward Ueecher, ahd in short all of that clasps of political fanatics, now openly proclaim. "Emancipation" "freedom to the slave" are their rallying cries, and to which the Abolition hosts everywhere en thusiastically respond. They regarded the bom bardment of Fort Sumpter as the inauguration of the 'irrepressible conflict," and are not willing that the war shall be brought to a close, until the rreat work of emancipating the Negro shall have Keen fully consumated. That with them is a matter of infinitely more importance, than the preservation of the Union. In fact, as tLey re gird the Government as established by Washing ton and Lis compeers, as "a league with death an-! a covenant with bell," it is uot likely they wish to see it preserve.!, unless a radical chanse can te effected in its structure. Fremont's Emancipation Proclamation was bailed by them with delight as the practical iuaugurat'on uf the work,aud although it was in open violation of the Constitution and Laws of the country, they were fired with iudignation from M i;ue to California, because Presidi-nt Lincoln had sufiick-ut regard for his oath of t-fiice to interfere, and prevent its being carried out. This bhows bow much regard they reully entertain for the Constitution and Laws, although they have impudence and aro gance enough, at the present time, lj claim to be their only defenders. At this time, when the emancipation question is thus brought prominently before the An.eiicau people, it may not be out cf place to inquire, what would be the effect of the Abolition of Sla very on the North? A moments calm reflection, niut convince any unprejudiced mind that it would t-eiiously injure iu a pecuniary point of view, and tend to degrade and demoralize the la boring classes of the Free States. The Slaves having become free, would pour like a swarm of locusts into the northern portion of the Confede racy. They wi-uld become com; titors for em ployment with white laborers, reduce their wages, a-d sink thern from their pic-ition a.- Amir. can .itizens. to the condition of the companions, as sociates and co-laborers of newly liberate.! negro Slaves. The white laborer, would be obliged to work at reduced wages, by the side of the negro laborer as Lis equal, or fail in obtaiuing employ ment to support himself and family. In a word the colored laborer, would be made the compan ion, the equal an ! the competitor f-r employ ment of the white laborer. The Amalgamation of the two races, to a certain extent, is another -f the beautiful result which would flow from the carrying out of the emancipation scheme, and a race f Mu'ittoea w;uld spring up among us, even more despised and degraded than t!ie full blooded negro. Honest lalxjr would be shorn el' all its dignity, and the poor white man, would l se his caste in SiK.-iety.by becoming with the ex negro slave, a hewer of w.l and orawer of water, to the wealthy p rti n of the community. This j is no fuicy sketch. It is by no means slror.glv nough drawn. The res-u'ts we have picturrtl. would follow the carrying out of the emancipa tion schemes cf Fremont, Greely Co.. as cer tain as thunder follows liarl.tnin". In coiiMdering this question, wc 1-ave left out ! of vie n-, the servile insurrections in the South- cm States, which would follow the pr-xdaiming of liberty to the slaves by the United States Gov ernment, and at the ver- idta of whch.Lumaitv shudders. We have viewed it only as effecting soicety in the Northern State. Are the people of the North ready forsuch a state of affairs as we have pictured ? Are they willing to see the honest white laborer and his fami' degraded to a condition of equality with tho negro, a-id thus rendered an outcast from society ? Are the la boring classes of the North witling to submit to it? If they ara not, now is the time to let their sentiments be made known. Now is tne time to announce in language not to be misunderstood, their strong and unqualified condemnation of the emancipation scheme of Fremont, Greely, Sum ner and their fanatic followers. We do not pretend to say t!t the Nati jnal Administration is in favor of this treasonable scheme for liberating the slaves. On the contra ry, from the mauner in which it has treated Gen Fremont and his Proclamation, wc are convinced that it is opposed to it. We believe that Mr. Liucoln and his cabinet, like the Democracy, honestly desire to see the war carried on f r the preservation of the Union, and not for the exter mination of slavery. Rutin this course, they arc uot sustained by a large portion of the party which elected Mr. Lincoln. From the tone of the Republican press, we are certain, that the Fremont or emancipation wing of that party is much strcnger, than the Administration wing. (For further particulars on this point the reader will plea-sa see ibe New York Tribune, Pitts burgh Dispatch, Chronicle, Gazette, Chicago Tri bune and other ultra and plain spoken Republi can sheets) Under the circumstances, it is plain that if the Administration wishes to be sustained in its course in opposing the schemes of the Abolitionists, it must look to tho Demociacy for support. While writing this article we have re ceived through the mad, a circular franked by Charles Sumner. Seuator from Massachusetts and one of the Apostles of the Republican party, which boldly advocates the emancipating of all the slaves in the revolted State. This it con tends, w ill alone bring the war to a speedy and successful close. Wc will probably have some thing to say hereafter concerning Mr. Sumner'ii circular, al tough we cannot comply with his re quest, to give ita place in our columns. It does not belong to the kind of iteraturs we ad mire and give currency to, through our paper, . Removal of Fremont. On the 2d "mat., Mar G.-neral Jvhn C.

It Li said that the intelligf-nce, spread like wiMfire through the camps of the Army, and createl the rnist intense excitement among both of!ix-rs and men. It is also said, ou what we regard as rather doubtful authority, that great numl-crs of the oflicers signified their intention torefignat once, and that many Companies laid down thtir arms, declaring they would fight under eo General but Fremont. He however, instead of encouragin?. labored to extinguish and repress, this spirit cf mutiny and insubordination. Gen.

We learc from the Johnstown Tribune, that there was on Saturday of week before last, a tremendous freshet of Stony Creek and the Conemaugb, the two streams which hkirt that place. The oldest iuhabi tant has no rc2jlLc:i)as )f the water ever having been so high. A considerable portion of the town was completely inundated, to the serious inconvenience for the time being, of the inhabitants. The Stony Creek bridge, which connects the town w ith Keroville. was carried away. This is a serious loss, espe cially to the stockholders. A portion of the structure on the Kernville side, still remaios iu tolerable conditiou, A portion of the fee der dam in the vicinity of town, was also car ried away. A new bridge will we under stand, be erected over Stony Creek ic a few months It will be a more convenient aud substantial structure, than the one mhese un ceremonious exit, we Lave jut chronicled.
