With reference to the removal OF
General Fremont, the Democrat oi
this morning holds the following
] nguage:
I The removal OF Gen. Fremont We
do not think has been eeriously con

Complsints have undoubtedly been
made against him, and possibly
charges preferred, which OF course
will 10 duty and properly investi

to a result as serions as his removal
, from this department. Ills extraor'
dinary energy and efficiency are too

Il Hancock Courier.
The Editor complains Of favor
itism, in the appointment uf "staffI
officers" Here is what he said,
in his paper Of May "a:
"The people are already beginning TO ask
why IL Is that nearly all the leaders OF the
forces called into the field 10 defend the
Union are selected from the Democrsticl
ranks: and the question naturally arises
whether il is from a want Of confidence in
the leaders of the Republican ranks, or q
disinclinstion Of the latter to serve"
IT. May, the Editor "complained"
that the admin: stration appointed
too many Democratic to military Off.
cee; now he "complains' that they
appointed too many Republicans
Our neighOor has the happiest facul.
ty imaginable, OF one week knocking
in the head his most positive declar-
atoms of another week. He is very
careful to etate in his article, OF last
week, that the "favoritlsm" referred
to, was that manifested by the gov
ernment before the meeting Of the
7th Of August convention; yet, ad'
mitting that he has reference to that
very time, most ilatly contradicts
the charge; for he said then that the
administration appointed Democrats
to fill those stations, either because
it had no confidence in the Repub-
llcan leaders, or because these lead
era wero unwilling TO serve. Ac
cording to his logic, the administra
ton appointed too many Democrat
to military offices, and not enough o
Democrats; it appointed not enough
Republicans, and too many Repub
licans.
|, is very evident that the UnioI
men need not try to please Mr.
Glessner. In regard to the corrupt
ion charged, It is sufficient to know
that Governor Dennison challenged
the 7h Of August Convention Com
mittee on Resolutions, TO prove thei
change of o"iuption; and TO aiC
thom, he proposed to give them &C
GEES TO every department of the gov
ernment, and TO furnish all tho con
tracts made, and all the document,
In posse ssion OF the state, that worlt
throw any light on the subject; bu
these villitiers dare not undertal,,
the task, as they very we'll know
they could not sustain the charges.
| The Editor need not blame tn
! people if they suspect his loyalty
when he is making every effort t
destroy confidence in the govern
nent, by constantly carping at it an'
charging upon it the gravest kind @
fcnscs. The tone Of secession pa
pers, and the encouragement the,
J take from such a course, show tn
effect it has among rebels.

THE VICTORY Ar MATrERAs.

The success Of the Federal arms on the
coast Of North Carolina, and the taking Of
TWO forts commanding the principle inlet to
the Pamlico and Albcmarle Sounds, will
be received with mingled feelings Of JOY
and pride throughout the loyal States. 1t
is the first successful attempt to invade the
disloyal States, and results in the loss to
the Confederates Of one of the strongholds
in the very hot bed OF rebellion, and the ad-
vantage thus gained will be vigorously and
nobiy followed up by placing at these i'm
por'ant points troops enough to hold them
against any force which may be brought
against them, and enable a feet of light
draught vessels, which will be speedily pro-
cured from the merchant service, to annoy
the whole coast from Fortress Monroe to
Beaufort, North Carolina.
This invasion gives ! clue to the future
policy of the Administration, and as the sea-
son advances, We may expect to hear Of ex-
petitions of this nature. Our fleet will then
not only blockade the Southern ports, bu.
will land troops at assailable and unguarded
points, and harass the enemy in the rear.
This will create powerful diversion in our
favor, and prevent the rebels from concen-
trating all,heir forces at one point. In this
manner We hope soon to record the landing
OF an army in the neighborhood Of Charles
ton, ani the possession Of that well feathered
nest of rebellion by the Federal troops

LETTER FROM Pixies PEAK.

DETROIT GuLcH, IN THE Rocky MOUNTAINS, !
August 2lth 1861.
Mr.. Editor Knowing the deep interest
felt by the people Of the Slope IN this re-.
gion, and the high hopes they have for its
success us a gold producing country, W i'll
give you such news and facts as am poses
sed Of. FL ...l..
New discoveries are being made every
where, and the miners that work are receiv-
ing good profits in general.
At Bnckskin Joe, the mines are yielding
immense quantities of gold. At Taryall
everything is paying. Georgia Gulch is
paying better than last year. Gold Run,
American Gulch, Buffalo Flats, Key Stone
Gulch, this GuIch and dozen others are
yielding we'll where worked, and where the
&c streak" is found. French Gulch is not
paying as a general thing, but some claims
are paying very large. Negro Gulch is
paying very good wages, since they com.
menced to work. They have been spending
some time in constructing q ditch five miles
long, through which they get water to wash
the dirt. In Miners District on Blue river,
the "diggers" are making money; and in
other parts, are taking out large piles Of
dust. But we lack miners to develop the
resources and wealth Of this country, as it
requires hard work to go down where the
precious mesal is. Heavy sitting around
wont pay ont here-hedrg york will. 1t
may not this year, bot it will sooner or
later. One thing have noticed, that those
who stay in one place will mako it pay.
This country is a certain thing If a man
works, II he don't, it is one Of the mos.
uncertain. Work, not ,cits, for the Rocky
mountain gold region.
