coniding as do in the loyalty, discipline
and courage Of our troops. and believing as

crown our efforts and sacrifices. The army
will unite with me in tho feeling of regret
that tho woight of many years aud the of

intensified in his cuuntry's service, should
just now remove from our head the great
soldier of our nation, tho hero who in his
youth raised high the reputation of his
country in the folds of Canada, which he
sanctiiod with his blood who in more
mature years proved to the world thai:

same has been the case 10 such places on
the Tennessee. We were returning down
that river about ten days ago, when we
were fred upon from Rebel camp in the
bushes. Our Captain Immediately had
the boat turned up little, so as TO bring

Union people living upon the Cumber-
land and Tennessee, have at length got up
their courage sufficiently to give mouth to
their patriotism, and dare proclaim their

ings which greeted us at different points, as
we came down to-day. This is owing to
the repeated visits OF the Conestoga, and,
ut every trip, Union faces and feelings go
up. while the Rebels proportionately sink
down. Our Captain told the people Of
Eddyville, on leaving them to-day. as a
parting piece Of advice, TO let their Union
neighbors alone. in the enjoyment Of their
loyalty. II they did not, he would make
not only the persons but property OF dis.
unioniss responsible. and would shell
their houses and av them in ruins, which
would, in my opinion. destroy abou; nine
tenths OF the town. There are, however,
even in this traitorous place. two elderly,
honorable Union men, who have stood
their ground through all the storm, and
openly proclaimed their attachment to the
Government and Union, which has re-.
quired great amount of moral courage.
Their names are Mr.. Yeiser and Mr..
Leister. Our Captain has each trip car.
ried them up large Giles OF papers, which
they have thankfully and open!y received.
Our intercourse has been confined to the
people Of Kentucky, although we have
been up several miles into Tennessee,
being, in fact. the only Union force which
has invaded that State. A.P.

Victory of General Rosecrans.

The War Department received dispatch
late this evening. from Gen. ROsecrans,
stating that Gen. Floyd had made IN attack
upon him, but he had repulsed him with
great loss. General Roseerans further
states that one officer, with pretty large
force, had got in the rear of Floyd, aud che
presumption was that Floyd aud his entire
command would be surrounded and cap
tured.

Maj. General, U. S. A.
Feeling ran intensely high. during tho
whole Of last evening. and there was a
meeting almost everywhere. The various
bands serenaded the General, and when.
ever he appeared he was greeted with
cheers. though, after notifying General
Hunter, as ms order directed, he had no
longer command over the troops, he spent
several hours in making a personal ex-
animation OF the ground about the city,
10 be prepared for battle, and, in ao-
cordance with written request from all
the Brigadier Generals, he remained
through the night, 10 lead the army, in
case of attack. All the troops slept on
their arms. Many officers remained up
all night, and an attack was hourly ex-
pec,ed, but nothing more occurred than
the firing on our pickets on two different
roads. The enemy are now encamped
in the old Wilson Creek battle ground
Gen. Fremont is prepared to leave for st.
Louis, and will go as soon as General Pope
arrives, who has been sent forward and
will take command ill Gen. Hunter gets
here.
Universal gloom prevails throughout tho
camps.
A battle will undoubtedly occur ere long.
Our troops will meet the enemy firmly,
but they are disheartened and haVo lost
their enthusiasm.
The Body Guard could not be induced to
remain and will now disband, as the term Of
their enlistment permit, and will accom-
pany Gen. Fremont; and also his entire
staff. including Gen. Asboth, commander OF
tho First Division.
Gen. Fremont will permit no demonstra-
tion from the troops on his departure.

Removal Of Gen. Fremont on the Eve
Of Battle---Its Effect upon His Army.

SPRINGFIELD. Mo-, Nov. 8.
Yesterday small bodies Of the enemy
came within l2 miles OF US, and news was
received of the approach OF their advance
$500 strong. Preparations were being
made to go out and attack them, when
Gen. Fremont received the unconditional
order from Washington relieving him at
once from his command.
simultaneously came the newspapers
announcing the fact. The intelligence
spread like wildfre through the camps,
and created indescribable excitement and
indignation. Great numbers Of officers
signifed their intention TO resign Mt once,
and many companies laid down their arms,
declaring they would fight under no ore
bu; Fremont.
The General spent much Of the after.
noon expostulating with the officers, and
urging them by their patriotism and their
personal regard for him. not to abandon
!heir posts. Also issued the following
farewell order to the troops:
