WASHINGTON, Sept l, 1851.
You should zee what high spirits Washing !
ton Is IN to-day. There has been no sneh uni- /
veraal cheerfulnees for many week. Hereis |
material for public qualification over which no |
doubt can throw 9 shadow. We eTen hare |
our choice OF topics for agreeable discussion. |
General Butler is with us in the flesh, heavily |
laden with the Lo1ors Of q brilliant military |
success, and General Fremont has visited us |
in the spirit, with the most stirring and en- |
phatlc proclamation that the war has yet |
brought forth. You will not be surprised to |
learn thEt the proclamation OF the II estern |
leader is more talked about, nors wondered
at, and even more reJoiced over, than the in !
pp1tant event BY which Soutlesn piracy Is |
Suddenly checked. Not that the advantage Of |
the latter is undeI1ated. There are enough |
congratulations on this score; but the great |
and lasting Significance Of the former is so |
patent that other subjects are, for the present, /
dwarfed beside it. That 10 the conviction

and yearning for something E4tsl}y decisive
something which should stamp new charac-
Few expected it. Last evening, when the cor
ridots Of Wizards were crowded, according
to custom, for the diffusion Of that sagacitY
and that Frescience which there nightly IN
fold themselves, the Ty5buae's announcement
Of tie fact was de1ided with great spirit, and
ne who could most knowingly affirm sit isn't

Gay, it il 3 little surprising to Ind that quite
number Kew all about it beforehand, but
were not permitted, &C., and that countless
hocts had had dietinct impressions, which
mcdesty forbade them to disclose. The truth
is, that everybody was taken by surprise, al
though every person noW admits that there
should properly be no surprise at any good
thing coming from Gen. Fremont.

I good WoIk, especially in satisfying the public

office holders in this city How many Of those

Kit Carson is husily engaged in raising
t 8 corps Of mounted rangers, composed
mot Of halfhreeds or saTages, but of shrewd,
practical trarpera Ike timse1f, who have
spent their lives on the pralrie,, and know of
no enjoyment but that which comes from
wild adventure and 7icissitude With these
| Carscn purposes coming eastward and Offer
ing his services to the Federal Government.
He selects biz men himself, and accepts Of

fhe swift Mexican mustangs, and will be
AIMED te the teeth with Colt's reyolyezB,
bowie knives and Sharpe's rifles. At the time
Of my intormant's departure, Carson had al
ready enrolled one hundred sud fly E1en, bat
seemed unwilling to depart until a larger
number should have been raised The vaF ne
| Of such corps car1ot be o7erTated, for our
grand armies need the aid Of crack rifle sh0ts
to set - scouts. I presume Gen. Fremont
will claim the services Of Carson ard hfa men,
for be will, doubtless, advert to the time when
he crossed the plains, and became acquainted
with the sterling qualities of Kit Carson.
