\. FRIEND RICH Since my last, but little
of interest has TRANSFERRED, but on the 10Th
inst. we were ordered to pack knapsacks,
and prepare to leave ST. Louis, having
the day previous received our arms-old
muskets, which which were undoubted
ly in the Revolution, and perhaps have
not been shot since. Nevertheless, we
took them, and started for the cars. Our
knapsacks being heavy, and the sun shin.
ing rather warm, many OF us were ready
TO rest when we got to the depot. We
finally got into first class cattle cars, and
moved off slowly, for one horse served
The whole regiment we arrived at this
place Pacific City about 12 p M, and
were marched 10 our camp ground, 80
or 40 rods from TIE village. We are sta
toned here to guard the place, for it is
an important post, the roads forming a
junction here. A great many soldiers
pass over this road for Rolla and Jelier.
son. Seven companies of the 9th left
last Wednesday for the west or south,

scouting parties.
We were glad to hear, through your
columns, the election news. We see that
there is Republican administration
over our county which has served and is
serving our country SO we'll. Our Com.
pany is getting along finely, all Of the
boys enjoying themselves. But one or
two are in the hospital. We are afraid of
the ague if We stay here long, for it is a
sickly place. The patriotic spirit seems
to be among our boys firmer than ever.
Life Is sweet, but not SO sweet but what
we are willing to risk ours to replace
the stars and stripes which have been
trodden in the dust We are bound to

ened with removal. Had he kept clear
of the darling nstitution-had he turned
slave calcher--had he used his troops TO
return to rebels the slaves who had escap-
ed to his camps-we should probably
have heard nothing about his removal.
But the popular heart feels that he was
right, and the popular mind has faith
that the line he marked out will yet be
reached. Slavery has forced us INTO the
horrors and bloodshed of the present
contest-Slavery murders our brothers,
our friends-Slaverv has risen up to des-
troy our country and our liberties. Ii is
Slavery that we are combating, and, like
Gen. Fremont, il is against Slavery that
the people think the blow ought to be
struck. Slavery is also conlessedly the
po'Cer of our opponents, and TO strike it is
to undermine their strength. Why, then,
should we be so tender with it? Within
the protection of the constitution, we
would deal with il as the constitution de
mands. But having cast off the ayis OF
that instrument, and now attacking with
a view of destroying it, it should receive
no leniency. The government may sus-
pend Fremont for so proclaiming, but
the people, for their future protection, fol
the interests of humanity and liberty
will yet demand that his position be
maintained.

The stilling of that eloquent tongue, the
bIotting out of that noble intellect, the
stopping of that honest and patriotic
heart, is misfortune enough to come up
on the country at once. He had proven
himself not only noble soldier on the
plains of Mexico, but wise statesman in
the council chambers of the country, and
one of the most eloquent of those who
have graced the Senate chamber Of the
nation. He fell nobly fighting, scorning
to turn his face from the foe. The brill
liant promise he gave for usefulness to
his country in her legislative halls, has
been quenched, and he lays bleeding
sacrifice at the shrine of slavery. Can
he be avenged, and slavery escape :?
