CHICAGO, Nov. Is.
Eos. LRADER; The removal Of General
Fremont had beea 90 psrsistentiy an.
nOunOel day after day, for the last six ol
eight weeks, that the actual removal e1.
cited but little surprise. Those Who be-
lieved him to be the right man In the
right place" have reluctantly concluded
that If the President with all the facts be-
fore him, took the responsibility to remove
Gen. Fremont there undoubtedly we're coed
reasons for So doing not altogether made
known to the public.
Some Of the high officials Of Chicago are
nov Of Washington visiting the President
upon affairs Of the West. It Is supposed
their mission has something TO do with the
Fremont embroglio--at any rate some Of
bis Warmest friends are stirring about. It
Is thought not impossible he win yet be
assigned some command in the West where
he viii have ample opportunity to display
his military abilities without being ham
pered with other duties. Il Is not without
the range Of possibility that he viii be ap-
pointed to new Department which it is
expected will soon be created South Of his
late command, and having an important
river emporium for head quarters.
Among other matters to be brought to
the attention Of the President by the Chic
ago delegation is the contemplated location
Of national armory in the West. Chica-
20, Rock Island, and Pittsburgh will be
the principal competitors. The Iron
City, through the Secretary Of War,
hopes TO secure the prize, while Chi
cago looks to the President to honor the
leading city Of his own State.
Rock Island would be fine location. It
is proposed TO locate the arsenal upon the
large Island in the Mississippi opposite
Iowa. Among the advantages
Of this point is q large and effective water
power formed BY turning the rapid current
Of the river into a channel from one end Of
the island TO the other, Q distance Of sever |
al miles. Anotheriiem favoring this point |
is that the Island Is mostly Government !
The 0hioagoRns are making |
some strong points" upen the advantages |
Of 6 commercial centre, the oheapness of |
lake transportation, and the ready access |
to adjacent GOAL, stone and iron regions;
and through the energy and zeal Of her |
leading citizens it is probable Chicago will |
be the favored site selected.
Chicago is also g candidate for the pro |
posed Navy Yard upon the Western Lakes. |

Muligan's return, and the brilliant ova-
tion be received ct the hands Of welcoming /
thousands. l will not expatiate upon the |
theme. The reception was q fitting after
piece to the Lexington affair. Col Multi
gsn's eloquent reply to this testimonial of
his welcoming countryman is most signif- |
csntly expressed in few lines in to-day's |
papers calling upon all officers Of his brig
sde who have been exchanged to ct once |
gil up the ranks with recruits. There are
many impstient sons Of Erin who fought /
4t Lexington now growing over. their un-
lucky tste IN not being permitted to re-en- I
list until regularly exchanged. The |
friends Of the Colonel anticipate that after
be has raised the RriandA-L~--i4i ~ ssrsH
! Brigadier Generals commission.
The achievements of the feet and cur
victories in Kentucky have greatly elated |
the public feeling and dispersed the de-
preston caused by our late reverses. The |
tide is turned. The waves Of secession,
treason and infamy have rolled high over
the land, and the rebOunding ebb will be
at is darkest just before |
daybresk." There is q strcng belief that
the God Of Battles will smile upon our arms.
The sacrifices Of an Ellsworth Lyon-s
Baker-and the prayers Of an earnest
Christian people, were offered not in vain.
The sun Of Austerlitz pierces the dark
clouds, and once more shall the Eagle
I,bear the rattlesnake in his besk, and rend
him with his talons." T. b.
