Colonel Fremont.

Whatever may be the current of poll
tics, Col. Fremont has, in the recent con-
test. gained laurels which no mere victo-
ry could have given. He has proved
himself possessed of the most eminent
qualities as man and hero. Maligned
by the most malicious lies, he has not
stopped to answer them. Assailed in
the persons Of his mother, wife and chill
dren, in terms which are only applicable
to the vile and criminal, he has borne it
like martyr and reviled not again.
Amidst a storm of fierce assaults, he has
remained calm, nor once departed from
the dignity of his position, and the de-
pertinent of a gentleman. The passage
of the Rocky Mountains amidst the SHOWS
of winter proved him capable of courage
in danger, ard of fortitude in suffering !;
but his passage through the Presidential
election proves him that rare character
a moral hero. While shame, which
can never be washed out, adheres to his
assailants, he energies from the conflict
wiser in conduct, brighter in renown.-
We were not in favor of Fremonrs nomi-
nation, but il it appeared an error then
tie result has proved it right Nobly
has he sustained the cause committed to
his trust, which has been sullied by no
act of his, but is now stronger and bright
er than ever. It's now certain that no
other man could have aroused the same
amount of popular sympathy, and to him
has been paid the highest compliment
ever bestowed by this nation on one OF
his age. At 43 only, yet young, he has
barely escaped an election to the Presi-
dency Cincinnati GazeHe.

he was boy. Very likely there have not
been above a half-dozen such SHOWS in New

In another article We give to-day detailed
account Of this Arctic visitation, as far as

subsistence for several days, clear gain, from
the application Of their shovels to the snow

Che News from, Europe.

The Arago arrived yesterday, after an unu-
ually long passage, bringing dates to the 18th
ult Her news is not of much Importance.
The leading fact is the rumored accession Of
Sweden to the Western alliance. This is stated
positively in telegraphic message from Stock
holm to the Daily Nens, and probably fact
1t does not appear that Sweden is bound to
take the field against Russia. She covenants
not to ALLEVIATE any portion of her territory to
the Gar, or entertain any proposal --om him
without communicating the same to the West
ern Powers. 1t will be remembered that the
active adhesion Of the King of Sardinia to the
alliance was preceded by similar league.
Much has been said about the true policy OF
Sweden at the present crisis. Her position is
undoubtedly difficult. Should Russia, by any
chance, prove the victor in the present contest,
Sweden would find that she has committed sui
eide by strengthening the bonds which unite
her to the Western Powers. If, on the other
hand, Russia is baffled and the cost Of the
war is such that the victors consider it just to
punish her, present of Finland would proba-
bly, reward King Oscar for his timely support.
Another subject Of gossip is the visit Of Count
Esterhazy to st. Petersburg. We give else
where a very significant article from the Lon
don Globe generally supposed to write under
ministerial inspiration-on the subject Of his
mission. 1t seems to be understood that he is
the bearer Of the ultinatum of Austria; and
that in the event of his failure, the Emperor will
join the Allies. Here, at all events, this story
will be received with doubt aud Indifference
Austria has evinced no desire to participate IN
trary very lively anxousness to keep out Of
it, and amuse the belligerents with never end
ing negotiations. 1t looks as though she was
doing so still. The London Globe speaks Of the
terms which Count Esterhazy is instru tied to
propose to Alexander, as if they were not only
injurious but positively insulting TO Russia; It
is curious, if this be true, that Francis Joseph
-hould have chosen. for their bearer states
man whose Russian sympathies are notorious
1t is said that the Car is about to emanci.
pate his serfs The rumor reeds confrmati n
The late Alexander always meditated this de-
sign, and had bis practical ability been equal
to his theoretical ingenuity he would have tried
it in Russia as he did in his German provinces.
He had a scheme in his head for the abolition
of slavery not only in Russia but 10 the United
States also. Whether the present Gar follows
his example as far as this, remains to be seen.
From the seat of war there is no news: and
except the death Of the poet Rogers, there is
no item of particular moment in our London
adyices.

DIR. DAvEcA.--We publish elsewhere long
extract from letter Of Mr.. Russell's, the Sc
bastopol correspondent of the London Times,
impugning the veracity Of DR.. Davega. SINH
lar assaults have been made upon the Doctor
by various other parties in England; perhaps
it would be we'll for him to put a stop to the
clamor which..his letter has created, by making
an example of Mr.. Russell. He has, no doubt,
the means of showing the truth of all he stated
in his communication to us; his character might
seem to require some such vindication. For our
selves, we need hardly state that we publish Mr..
Russell's statement as we did DR.. Davega's, as
matters Of current news, without endorsing
either.

We are quite tired of these annual bulletins
from Washington expressing strong hopes Of
the future, and remarkable only for neglecting
to state the true causes of the degradation Of
the Indian races, which in truth are to be
found in the cruel policy Of the federal Union
itself.
II the government will suppress its present
system, and drive out of Office its twenty thou
sand agents-its blacksmiths, its superinten-
dents; annul its treaties-most of them procur-
ed by fraud, and nine out Of ten without the
knowledge of the Indians themselves-and en-
ploy its army to remove the tribes into the in
terror, as remote as possible, and annually
supply them with blankets, calicoes, guns, am
munition and other needful articles Of use,
instead Of the money now paid, the tools and
implements of agriculture and the thousand
articles they never use, we shall be subscribing
the cause of humanity, and posterity will give
us the credit of having, very late in the day,
done our duty to the poor Indian.
We concede that there would be difficulty in
carrying out this suggestion to the full extent.
The Supreme Court has declared that the In
dian tribes must be recognized as Independent
nasionalitiesa very fogy and absurd decision,
and one wholly founded in precedent, and as
completely rejected by reason. But there
would be no just grounds however, for reject
ing the whole machinery established for the
civilization of the tribes, and treating them as
races of irreclaimable savages, entitled to the
sympathy and the aid of the people Of the
United States during their short remaining
career Of existence. There are hundreds Of
blacksmiths in the Indian service, at high
wages, who are scarcely ever employed. They
are the instruments for introducing habits Of
labor, themselves setting the example Of idle
ness. The Indian department, embracing all
our relations with the various tribes is the
most corrupt Of all the operations of the gov
ernment. it is founded in beneyolence--in a
humane desire to promote the welfare of the
savages-but it has been perverted into an in
strument of personal peculation and whole
sale official plumber 1t is very easy in such
condition of things to produce an interesting
statement of the progress Of the tribes; mean
while the great fact stares US in the face that
civilization with them is rograding--their
moral condition mora and more debased-
their spiritual affairs horribly caricatured and
degradcd-their social interests worse and
worse, and their numbers fearfully declining
every year.
