field. They had driven the Rebels down TO the
Arkansas line, and were still in pursuit, when
Gen. Fremont was removed from the command
for mconpetency." Since that time our army
has evacuated Springfield, leaving all Southern
Missouri to be anew overrun by the Rebels,
while Union families by hundreds are flying
for their lives. The enemy has been permitted
to advance more than o hundred miles to the
North, burn Warsaw, and destroy the Govern
ment supplies which were stored there rob
the steamer Platte Valley On the Mississippi,
and the Sunshine on the Missouri and capture
a valuable train, loaded with guns, between
Sedalia and Leyenworth. But, on the other
hand, great vigor has been shown in giving
orders for the rendition of fugitive slaves, in
hunting down even the negroes who accom-
panied Gen. Fremont and his staff on their re-
turn to st. Louis, eliminating in Gen. Hal
lecks order 10 kick Out all fugitiyes who have
sought protection in our lines.
We do not venture to make any comment
upon these facts. Indeed, they need none.
