The Kiatr and Fremont Dfrgiculsy
IN cIieiian not slave Catcher.
New ! OrA. Sept. 81

The Hcrald's despatch from Washing
ton says the difficulty relative to General
Fremont arises from the Interference of
the Blair family-the r. NJ General and
Col I. L. Blair, jr II Is from them
the charges have emanated | under
stand the real secret Of the hostility Of the
Blairs, l., that Fremont would not permit
them to dictate to him, and would not
lend himself to combination Of contract
ors from New York, Philadelphia Gincin-
att and elsewhere, who had the patronage
OF the l.. Nj. General Some ~ DAYS ago
i. T. Blair demanded that s. 100000
worth Of contracts should be given 10 that
combination, and General Fremont re-
sponse was that his duty was 10 oppose
an enemies Of the Government and north
ern schemers.
Upon enquiry at headquarters of the
army Of the Potomac, | have asccrtained
positively that no orders, general or spe-
cial, have yet been issued BY Cen McClel-
Ian relative to the fugitive slaves, 80 that
all the reports and comments on that
subject which appear in the papers, are,
TO say the least, premature. Nothing
has yet occurred requiring action ON his
part on that subject.

This evenings Commercial says: We
think we have sufficient authority for say
ln- that SO far as a movement Of the ma
tional troops is concerned there is no prob
ability Of an engagement within thirty
days. OF course if attacked there will be
q general and severe battle Our troops
are well prepared to meet any number the
enemy may bring, but for pcrfecting the
arrangements for the onward movement,
il is deemed best to accomplish certain
things which may not be efiectually done
IN less than thirty days. These matters
have no reference, we believe, to the rails
i'm Of more men, the Government being
satisfied that it has all that it will re-
auire.

The sale of the fine herd of short horns,
belonging to the estate of the late Henry
G. Stuart, which comes off in West Point
at the Lee County Fair, on the Sd day OF
October, will he matter of interest to all
stock raisers in the country. There is nc
better lot Of stock this side of Kentucky
and they will be sold low and on time.

The lntelligencer says that we. believe
frequent threats Of Richmond papers in
regard to closing the Potomac BY batteries
along the western shore, have never made
my serious impression on our military
authorities. There arc shells enough at
command ut any time to enable our yes
sells to dislodee the rebels along the
river.

Two couriers just arrived from licking

is believed by the commanding officers
here to be iii the main part reliable:
Gen. Price commenced the attack on
the entrenchments at Lexington, CON-
manded by Col. Mulligan, on Monday
The fight was very severe all day. Price
assaulted the works and was rcpulsed with
severe loss. The fight had been renewed
on Tuesday morning by Price but feeby,
when the courers left.
Gen. Lane was at Johnstown, Bates
county on Monday morning, with force
from 1000 to 5000, marching to the re-
lief Of Lexington
The rebel loss on Monday is reported
at 4, 900, and that Of the Federal troops
at 500, which is probably exaggerated.

handing a surrender. Col. Mulligan' S
