Inc 7ribene's Washington dispatch says
the Cabinet to- day, at a special meeting, con-
sidered the report of djutant General Thomas,
concerning the state of affairs in the Western
Department
1t was decided that Gea Fremont should be

The order will be promulgated to-day. The
Times dispatch says on the contrary, that the
Cabinet decided not to interfere with Gen. Fro

Judge Davis Of Illinois will be commissioned

in the Western Department, and all bills that
he passed will be paid.

A special Washington dispatch to the Herald
says the latest news last night was that the
whole of Gen. Stones division had crossed the
Potomac, in full pursuit of the enemy, and that
Banks column had reached the banks of the
river and would speedily support Gen. Stone.
Information received late last night announces
that the fight on Monday was desperate one
and large numbers were killed on both sides. AL
though the enemy was much stronger, he wa

would undoubtedly have been routed but for
the fall of Col. Baker, which produced sud-
den confusion among the troops and led to halt
Gen. Il. w. Smith commanded the rebels, and

his horse and carried off the field.
Gen. McClelen left headquarters in the field

that Col. Baker should have engaged the enemy
when, according to report, he was ordered to
make a reconnaissance only with strict instruc-
lions il attacked, to fall back, and not fight.
Col Baker made his will on Saturday last,
and deposited it with Col Webb. and when he
left for the field, he said to the latter, shall

less take high rank in the fznatical literature of the

paragraph, az follows:
You remember how, in Sumter, Anderson ard
his men knelt in prayer before they sent aloft the
stars and stripes Vel, that prayer has been an
swered. We have been led through impulse be-
cause we were not equal to the emergency. Now
that we are, the work has been begun in the right
place. The sacred soil of South Carolina msde
sacred by the infamous treachery of political dem
sgogues, who have been st once sOpbists and bull
lies on the floor of Congress, has at length been
pressed BY Yankee feet.
Charleston hangs out the black nag and thereby
claims her brotherhood with savages of the South
Sea Ialands. Do we tcGnt quarter from her Have
we ever asked it, Are our boys likely to ask it :
