NJ. Eaitor:-To state falsehood Of evef
so trifing character, subjects its author to
distrust and contempt by all honest and sober
thinking men; but when that falsehood is a
thrust at private character, it brands its au-
thor with heart so black, ami purpose so
vile, that he should be Stunned by all good
citizens as the plaguc-spot Of moral corrup-
ton, whose presence is contamination, and
whose touch is moral death.
We had hoped that those who were called
upon to defend the liberties of our country,
and the freedom Of speech, would not so de-
grade themselves as to traducc and SANDER
the character of fellow soldier. But we
have it as fact in history, that when the
loyal subjects of Heaven presented themselves
for duty, Satan also appeared in their midst
to plot evil and mischief against the loyal and
the righteous. Thus it is with our soldiery
the slanderer is in their midst A short
time since one Lieut.. KNIGHT, from company
of the Third Regiment, passed through this
place LOT SoIHc part VI Dutier Scuhtys anu
while here stated that Adjutant SESSIONS,
from this place, and now in company X, had
been guilty of cowardly conduct at the battle
of Blue Mills. Since then every word Of said
KNIGHTS statement has been proven flse by
letters received here both from officers and
privates of company X, of which Adjutant
SESSIONS is a member
Now we know but little of Lieut.. KNIGHT,
but from the letters received, and his conduct
while here, we believe him to be jealous
souled, black hearted, no-principled aspirant
for the position which Adjutant SESSIONS now
occupies, and having neither the sense or the
ability to merit It, attempts through vile
SANDER to lower our citizen SESSIONS in the
eyes of the community; but we would say
to Mr.. KNIGHT that we have known Adjutant
SESSIONS for years, and know him to be a
man Of undaunted courage and valor, and
that when KNIGHT made his statement we be-
lieved it to be base SANDER. TRtrii.

Fremont's Removal.

The story brought us by the Cincinnati
Gazette of yesterday morning, that Gen.
Fremont is to be removed on Tuesday next,
will be sure to attract attention. We do not
wholly credit it.-Chicago Tribune, 10Th inst.
Then why do you publish it? Is it be-
cause you hope it is true, or do you do it just
because Fremont's Removal" is your hob
by? Can't you get off for a day or two, or
have you rode it so long that you have
grown to it Do you think that you are
helping the cause of the Union in Missouri
by one continual harp on this question? Do
you believe that matter derogatory to Gen.
Fremont is more interesting to your readers
than any other? Is your policy dictated by
spite, or do you claim that you are acting
from serse of duty? Are you willing to
leave the rcins Of Government In the hands
of the Administration, or do you consider
yourself more competent to hold them? 1t
cannot be justice you are after, else you
would give both side an equal hearing. Do
you lack confidence in the Administration, or
are you lacking altogether? Do you think
it would continue a man in so important a
position if he were wholly unfit? II Gen.
Fremont ought to be removed don't you
think the President and Cabinet know 1t,
especially when you have already told them
of it so many times? You will acknowledge
that your course is not calculated to strength
en- the hands of the commander of the west
crn department? You will admit that what
you are printing from day to day is liable to
injure the confidence of the people in that
officer? You must either be laboring for the
removal Of Gen. Fremont from spite, or else
because you think he ought to be suppressed
ed. If from the former, Of course a wrong
motive actuates you; if from the latter,
hadn't you better dry up, and let the Admin.
istration manage the business?

1913 until 1868 he remained in the United
States service, and since that time he has
been following agricultural pursuits. Re-
Gently he has been living on his farm in
