The Fremont Trial.

The Washington correspondent of the Jour
nal of Commerce says: The examination Of
Commodore Stockton has been closed. and
with that ceases Mr.. Wise's agency in the
matter as the Commodorc's counsel. The
trial is abont to end. How it will end no one
can say. 1t would have been as we'll for Lieut.
Col. Fremont, if some person other than his
father law had been engaged as his counsel
Col Benton is so excitable in relation to sub
jects affecting his personal feelings, to be
cool and judcious counsellor. l could men
ton some of the Coloners extravaoant de-
clarations on the subject in illustration of this
remark. Eor instance. he exclaimed, in con-
versation, in presence of witnesses, the audi
ence, court and all, abiding to the result of
the trial, "shoot him, if you please, but don't
disgrace him." l suppose Colonel Benton
apprehends an unfavorabe decision. But it
is a nice question whether Lieut. Col Fremont
has been guilty of any INSTRUMENTATION. In
the question Of precedence between land and
naval commanders, Lieut. Col Fremont became
involved.

exception.

A great deal is said about the Intoxicating
properties of this medicine, and it is limited
that it is little better than New Rum, though
under another name. 1t certainly seems
strange that so many people should stand in
need of these bitters, if they are taken merely
for their medicinal qualities. The amount sold
even in our vicinity, according to an estimate
recently made, is almost incredible If it be
true that these bitters are nothing but ardent
spirits, disguised by little alloes or decoction
of roots, and if they are increasing intemper'
ance in our midst, the public ought to know
it, and men ought to be put on their guard
against them, lest those who have once escaped
from .he pit of intemperance shall again be en-
shared and led astray

SECRET History OF THE WAR.-Some of the
newspapers are just now publishing what they call
the " secret history Of the war; Those who will
read this g secret" history and then compare it with
the public history Of events since Gen. Taylor pitched
bis tent at Corpus Christi will see that the whole
"secret" IS as much CANNON as any thing else
They will perceive at once that it is bug-b "
got up for some purpose, perhaps, of very little I'M
Portance. 1t has always been supposed that Aristu
desired to form an independent republic of Northern
Mexico; and that Mexico, under Herrera, offered tc
negotiate for peace. 1t is well known too that Her.
rera, in consequence of his wish for peace. was
overthrow by Paroles, who compelled Arista to ad
vance and fight. 1t is, perhaps, probable that We
might have prevented battle or two by fomenting q
revolution in Northern Mexico, but was it the bust
ness of our government to assist in the dismember
ment OF neighbcring republic, except in a legiti
mate war with that republic! OF course not.

0E1rThe New York Express has published private
letter from Gen. Taylor said to have been written to
Gen. Gaines, in which the writer finds fault with the
Administration, and cracks up his own achievements
as altogether unparalleled in the annals of either
ancient or modern warfare. We have taken the ear
hest opportunity to copy this letter. Gen. Taylor
will find that his friends have done him the poorest
service imaginable in giving it to the public. This
being done, 1t not only justfes but requires those
who dissatisfied with his course speak out and
let the people have the truth. We heretofore have
been restrained from doing this because we did not
feel disposed to initiate the federal wing policy Of
assaing any of those engaged in the public service
against the public enemy, however inefficient we NAV
have regarded their policy their acts Taylor him.
