Fremont, and subsequently purchased the old STATE
Gazette, to which he united his own subscription
list He is still the proprietor Of that Journal, and
was its editor also up to the time of his joining the
army. Without military education, lie has always
shown great fondness for military study ahl employ
ment. Before he joined the army he laid bare,
with tcorching severity, multitude Of abuses prac-
tieed on the tbree-montbs men, and had them cor
rected. He ia now in the prime of LIE, man Of
fearless courage, outspoken and not to be corrupted
or intimidated. As writer be is fierce and bitter,
now and then striking out very great novelties,
but no man has o better heart. His coutse with
Southern debtors who are sneakDg out d their
Northern obligations, is exactly what might have
been expected of him. If the President VIII only
be wise enough to sustain Judge Freese in the steps
he has taken, and let him and his Court follow the
army as it advances into the enemys country it viii
be the means of collecting vast sums OF money!
Indeed, if such Judge were in the train OF each
division of the army, with a crowd of Northern
creditors in his wake, armed with ledgers and pro-
tested notes. the prospect Of being compelled TO pay
up would strike as much terror TO the hear's Vi
Rebels as a csnnonade. But already Two stories are
afoat-one that his proceedings have been s'opleu'
and the other that they arc approved.

There s a singular fatality among the voolcn
mills in variou parts Of the country fire destroying
them, and stopping the production Of army cloth.
Several such d,asters have occurred here. But this
is the natural result OF running all night. All the
cotton and wooden mills at Manayunk, some IA in
number, and employing some 200 persons, are run
ming on Government contracts. In 81 other manu-.
featuring establishments in this city, which at this
time last year employed $50 persons there are now
:, 500 employed At one woolen factory. the largest
in the country cloth is turned out daily in quantity
sufficient to clohe 500 men, and all it can produce for
seven months TO come is contracted for by Govern
nent, enough TO elothe 100000 men. II is evident
hat our wooen mills unable to supply the urgent
wants Of tho army. To Gil their contracts they run
night and day. and hence the numerous ruinous con-
1agrations that have occurred.
