GENERAL FREMoST.-We are not, at al

journals defy the veficst hunbugs in the
world, and then, when the Workmanship of
their own lanos proves itself to be but NOR
tai, they demolish it in perfect fury. They
manufacture great man rapidly and deity
as brown paper sole, and he lasts just about
as long. Their SCoTTs, MASsFIELps, Mellow
ELLIS, and FREMosTs, seem to be set up like
nine-pns for the pleasure Of bowling them
down. General FGENoNT," exclaims the
Herald, Is has been IA source of weakness and
embarrassment. to the President in Missouri
When he entered upon his duties in that State
the rebels had been swept out as chaf before
the wind. But now more than half the State
has been reconquered by the Confederate
arms. Disaster after disaster has bef;tllen
our arms there" And this is the great Ere
MONT, the "coming man. who, instead of
coming is all the time ''gong, going
gone"
Having never had much admiration of
Monsieur Fremont, we are not at all sur
prised that while he has "gene up like a
rocket" be has come down like stick" If
his mother had been as good Union man is
himself, Monsieur Fremont would not be III
existence. To her secession proclvities old
Mr. PRYOR was indebted for the peaceful ter
mination of stormy life, and Missouri for a
petty tyrant who threatens all legitimate Sc
eeders with a rope. We are now told that
Col. Fremont intends to take the field in per-
son, and, gracious heaven, declares his prr-
pose to capture the rebel chieftain, General

hasten to carry out that project, and take with
him Provost Marshal, Brigadier General jus

1SDUsTRIAL CoEDirtoS-cF THE FREE STATES
We copy the foIlUwngarticlef from the WISH

We copy the following article from the wash
ington Naiiond! Republican, OF Che 20th inst: .
A statement Of the gross earnings Of the
leading railroads in the free States and {! the
Erie Canal for an average period of eight
II onths past. shows an increase, is compared
win the CORES pCnding period OF last year
of 8, 3il, 13l, or about thirteen per cent. The
figures last year were S26 "a, 56s. They are
now $50, ;}43, 7b-.
This war, SO far rs the free States are Goa
c"rned, Is not civil war, hut one wholly eX7
teruu. No hostile foot Ureads any part Of
their soil, aud their Internal peace is perfectly
unGisturted The same thing, indeed, is true
of the greater part Of the South, the pectl-
liar calamity of civil war being confined TO
Missouri and portions of Virginia and Ken
lucky. .. ..
The total white population Of the eleven
Confederate States is 5,4JQ,1ll, and this IN
cludes Virginia, of which portion, contain
ing 100000 white people, is not only thorough
ly loyal, but actually in the possession OF The
national forces and under the national juris-
diction in all respects. But this total whit e
population of the Con federate States is large
~ exceeded by the mere increase, within the
last ten years, of the population of the loyal
states. which was 6,i92,4 This increase is
still going GA, and now probably at the rate
OF 100000 per annum, and would soon make
an equivalent for the loss of the Southern
trade, even if that loss became total and final
The commerce of the great cities of the North

Gus basis as that of the rude industry Ola It "
negroes engaged in raising cotton. 1t rests
upon the fertility and resources of Il CONT
nent, and upon the swelling mum berS of Il
free. active, and inventive people. The dest
ny of New York, which is TO surpass London,
will be none the less surely accom- lished if
all the Gulf States We're, by some CONFUSION
of nature, submerged III the ocean
The principal loss to the free States from
the present war was in the loss OF debts due
from the South, not less than two hundred
millions of dollars being computed to have
been due to New York alone. But this is
loss to be suffered but once, 1t is not "a CON
tinuing loss. The shock has been met and
borne, and, although individuals are hope
iessIy ruined, is already recovered from in 4
national sense.
Indeed, in general view, it is not more
than half true that this loss resulted from the
war 1t was really made when the credits
Were given To the cotton States. The partic-
ular debts due when this war broke ou5 might
have been principally paid, if peace had been
preserved, but ouly by mourning new debts.
There has been no time within a generation
when the cotton Static had the means 10 pay
what they owed. Their bankruptcy has been
really chronic, although concealed by facil-
tiles of credit which enabled them to nomi-
nally hqaidate old debts by con attracting new
ones.
