The Fremont Court MARTIAL This
long and tedious affair has at last been brought
to final close, if we may be permitted the
Pathology. The Court unanimously found L.
Col. Fremont guilty of all the charges VIZ =
LIST, mutiny ID, disobedience OF orders; 3D.
conduct prejudical to good order and military
discipline, and sentenced him to be dismissed
from the service majority of the Court
recommended him to the clemency of the Ex-
ecutive The President has examined all the
testimony, and the finding of the Court, and
does not think that the charge of mutiny was
proved, but that the other two WERE In con-
sequence of the hitherto distinguished servi-
ces of the gallant 1t. Colonel, and the recon-.
mendatIon OF the Court, the President has re-
mitted the sentence of dismissal, and has or
dered Col. Fremont to resume bis sword and
report for duty. The rumor, however, is, that
Col Fremont has resigned bis commission,
alledging that if he accepted the Executive
clemency that il would be acknowledging the
business of the finding OF the Court Martial,
which he streneously denies.

WHAT WE ARE TO GET by THE TREATY
Should it be, that the specuIatons of thepre
are 10 be verified with regard to the terms Of
the supposed pending treaty OF peace we will
get, according to the Philadelphia Bulletin
quite pretty little slice Of territory. That
paper says that Upper California contains an
area of $780, 900 square miles, and New-Me1'
leo s5,7oO square miles. Assuming the cost
of the war and the Purchase money TO be, IN
round numbers, 100000, 600, the acquires
territory would cost TESS than thirty cents an
acre. The population Of the former is about
10000, and Of the latter 1000. Upper Cal
ifornia includes the magnificent bay OF SaA
Francisco, bay not merely large enough
contain the shipping in our future commerce
between China and the East Indies, and sat
western possessions, but large enough to IT.
commoddte the united navies ofthe ,rorld.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM GEN TArIoR-
The following letter from Gen. Taylor, one Of
the most recent which he has written, is one
OF the most curious specimens of epistolary
correspondence which we have ever seen. If
any Taylor man will explain to us what Gen.
Taylor means by the closing sentence of this
letter, he will have our thanks. For our own
part, we confess our utter inability to get the
hang of it. Gen. Taylor would esteem it
an honor to be nominated by any body of his
fellow citizens, designated by any name they
might choose, and would accept the same,
provided, however, the said nomination was
made entirely independent of party considera-
tons. We should like to see a Wing Con-
vention make nomination "entirely indie
pendent of party considerations" Certainly
Gen. Taylor's political dispatches are not al
togethe: SO clear as his War dispatches. But
we give the lettcr-it speaks for itself.
In the Convention at Harrisburg, the fol-
lowing letter from Gen. Taylor was read by
Dr.. w. G. A. Birkey, of Philadelphia:
BATON ROYCE, La, Jan. 80, 1873
SIR Your communication of the / 5th inst
has been received, and The suggestions there
in offered duly considered. In reply TO your
inquiries, | have again 10 repeat that have
neither the power nor the desire to dictate 10
the American people the exact manner in
which they should proceed to nominate me
for the Presidency of the United States.
If they desire such a result, they must a.
dept the means best suited in their opinion to
the contamination of the purpose, and if they
think fit to bring me before them for this Of
fee through their Legislatures, mass meetings
or conventions, l cannot object to the designa-
tons of these bodies, as Wings, Democrats or
Natives; but in being thus nominated, must
insist on the condition, and my position on
this point is immutable, that shall not be
brought forward by them as the candidate OF
their party or considered as the exponent of
their party doctrines. In conclusion, have
to repeat, that if were nominated for the
Presidency by any body ofmy fellow citizens,
designated by any Name they might choose to
adopt, should esteem it as an honor, and
would accept such nomination, provided it has
been made entirely independent of party con-
siderations.
l am, sir, very respectfully. your obedient
servant, L. TAYLOR.

we are amongst those who have o.

moment in our power, to give the Ob.o.
and Mr., Badger all the benefit they can as.;
from the correction of what the fornos >,"e
charged upon the Journal as a misouo,,to" as
the speech OF the latter In the first iD.,oS
we clipped the paragraph which we o~"' ,
from the report of Mr.. Badgers speech 1 rh;'
we found in the Observer of the 25tb - ''O

that OF the LIST of February, we find a lona s''
ticle commendatory OF the speech as mhrs, a.
in that paper of the previous week, and =
which we clipped the paragraph in Ouss, tOIH
but nowhere in that article do we find WI,
in correction of the paragraph in Question
True, the Observer states in the article ayOd.a
TO, that the report of the speech at first nuS
lshed was imperfect; not, however, in ssD,;
ment, but in style. In the Observer, bowar..
of the 9Th of February, we find an article ~
forming US that our quotation was from Il.
"imperfect report" and that the last seDtsr,.
should have been, as it reads in the "au,ho,;
zed" report, {" | am opposed 10 augment;Dr

gentleman who attended 10 the editorial dp,;..
somehow overlooked the matter. Last w.sl
(not in time for last Fridays paper, however,
we for the frat time saw the article in the On,
server of the 9Th ult. A friend called our a,
tention 10 copy of the corrected" speech
in which we find the version Of the paragraph
in question different from that which we cln
ped from the Observer. We are perfectly viii.
ling that the Observer shall have all the bers
fit of the correction. We never, so far as ".
know, have willingly misrepresented ei,b.,
friend or foe. We cannot, however, see how
the misquotation would materially affect Mr.
Badgers position. We said at the outstart
that Mr.. Badger was opposed TO voting any
more men for the augmentation OF the army
From our reading of the corrected speech ".
come to the same conclusion. To end III.
controversy, we put the following question to
the Observer Does Mr.. Badgers recent
speech lead the reader 10 the conclusion that
he (Mr. B. will vote for the augmentation Of
the army of the United States under the exist.

A RUMoRED Cause.-The True Wesley

The above paragraph, clipped from The
Philadelphia Presbyterian OF the 26th ult'
has been handed to us by friend. We have
not seen Mr.. Crooks letter, and OF course
cannot say exactly what 1t contains. We %
think, however, that the idea which the peru
sal of this paragraph would convey to the
mind of most readers is, that the writer OF Inc
letter desired to inform his friends in the lFs'
States that the institution OF slavery was De-
coming unpopular even in the old North o'a'''
Certainly Mr.. Crooks is mistaken in his suP
position. We know OF very few OF the So0"

DEATH OF JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.


The death of the great New England states
man and scholar, has created profound sem
sation, not only at Washington City, where
he died, but throughout the whole length and
breadth of the Union. However widely we
may have differed from Mr.. Adams in most of
his political opinions, still do we readily and
cheerfully accord TO his memory the tribute OF
respect which his long and important public
service-his vast and varied attainments, and
his undoub,ed great abilities-demand at the
hands of the whole American people. For
upwards of fifty years has Mr. Adams filled
the highest civil trusts which his countrymen
could confer upon him. He died in the midst
of his labors in the House Representatives,
in his eighty first year, full OF age and full OF
honors. Every token of respect was shewn
to him by both Houses Congress. The fol-
lowing which we clip from the Washington
Union OF the 23d ult., is beautiful and just
tribute to the memory of this distinguished
man:
The mournful and deeply impressive event,
the anticipation of which. during the last three
days, has created so profound an emotion
through our community, and almost wholly
suspended the Legislative business of the coun-
try. has come at length. Mr.. Adams is no
more. He breathed his last, in the Speakers
room of the House of Representatives, at twen-
ty minutes past seven o'clock this evening"
The manner and the circumstances OF the death
of this illustrious and venerable patriot and
statesman from the fitting close of life devo-
ted even from early boyhood to the service of
his country. His public career commenced in
1881, when he was but fifteen years OF age.
At that time he acted as secretary to one of
the American legislations Since then-du-
ring a period Of sixty seven years-he has
been constantly, almost without single inter-
val, in public official stations. The last solemn
visitation of Providence has found him-and
so he seemed to desire that it should beat
the post and in the harness of patriotic duty.
Crowned with his countrys highest honors-
representing to younger generation the old
'Heroic Age" of our republic-the las veneer,
ated survivor of the chief magistrates of our
great example of his life might be most con-
spicuous and impressive, his spirit has passed
away, as it were before the eyes of his as
sembed countrymen, from the very midst Of
those halls of national council, wherein, by
his commanding participation in the labors OF
two generations of statesmen, he had achieved
his great and world wide renown!
Fila non soium claritate rita,
Sed etIam opportun1tate mortis!
Mr. Adams was born on July II, 1867
Thus he died in the 8lst year of his age, attel
filling large space in the eye Of his coun.
trymen. He has died amid the universal
sympathy of his community. Every mark o.
respect will be paid to his memory.

THE WING CoNvENT1oN--This body,
which assembled at Raleigh on the god ult,
nominated Charles Manly, of the City of Raj
eigh, as the Federal candidate for Governor.
This nomination comes like wet blanket over
the wishes, hopes, and fears of many Wing
in this region of North Carolina, and, if we
are not much mistaken, the election in August
will demonstrate this. However, this is Fede-
raj business. and we suppose ,re ought not to
NEEDLE with it.
The Federal Convention passed string OF
resolutions, made up of the miserable twaddle
which has been circulating through the Fede-
raj press during the last IL months. AS the
campaign opens, these resolutions, and the
candidate presented to the Whiggery of the
State, will receive their proper consideration
at our hands.

A Nut FOR THE ABoLITIoN1STs.-Wef find
in the Cleaveland Plain Dealer, one of the
ablest Democratic papers in Ohio, an article
which, coming as it does from free State,
falls upon our ears with peculiar pleasure
We extract from the Plain Dealers article the
following paragraphs, which contains great
deal of good sense -
"Manumit and scatter the five millions OF
slaves now held in the South through the free
regions of the North. for they never would
aspire to social equality among their ancient
masters, and what would be the inevitable eff
feet upon free labor? Would it not throw as
many millions out of employment, and depre-
ciate the value of labor to such an extent as 10
be fatal 10 the prosperity of as many more
But saying nothing of this kind of competition,
can the white laborer who has enjoyed the
benefits of refined society, Of schools, and 9th
er free institutions peculiar TO the North,
ever commingle socially or on equal terms
with those who, by their masters, have ever
been ranked and treated as brutes? Not only
his per diem allowance for service rendered
would be graduated by colored rule, but his
standing in society would also be regulated by
it.
"The fact is, and we say it from the most
deep and sincere conviction, that whatever
may be it's effects upon the interests Of the
white men of the South, slavery is true human,
ity to the colored race. Emanci patton to them
would be Il mother of curses, bringing in its
train hopeless poverty, miserable life, and &
wretched, unmourned death. The laborne
whites of the free States and their black com
petitors, would be involved in common ruin
over which reason, humanity, and patriotism
might well mourn
A PREDICTION Democratic Senate
from Arkansas, Mr.. Sewer, in the course O
his able speech delivered some days ago il
the Senate upon the ten regiment bill, makes
the following prediction, which, We trust, TO
the sake of our common country, will not D'
verified We shall soon have it brought Il
the test -
AS we have had prophets on the othe
side, will now beg 10 turn prophet myself
prophecy, that when treaty is made, if
ever be made, that treaty will be decidedly op
posed by the gentlemen on the other side
They will oppose it, as being too liberal O
too rigid to Mexico it will have in it too lit
tie or too much for their appreciation. ] hop
may be mistaken in this prophecy. Pu
down the prophecy in your memorandum
books, and when the day shall come when w
shall have such a treaty 10 dispose of, it will
be seen whether | have prophecied truly 0
not"

Mr.. HanEegan, MIR. Cameron, and Mr..

W ASHINGTOS, FeO. Y.
SENATE.-As soon as the journal had been
read, MIR. Davis, of Massachusetts, stated that,
i'm consequence OF the critical condition in
which Mr.. Adams was still lying, under the
roof of the Capitol, the House of Representa-

moved, therefore, that the Senate now adjourn,

Senate adjourned
