condition Of First street east, between c and ID
streets north, where the gutter and sidewalk on
the east side Of the street have been undermined
and washed away, leaving huge gulley in their
place.
This mischief has arisen from the neglect to
place gutter upos the west side Of the street to
divide the drainage, and the late heavy rains
have thrown their floods upon the single gutter,
with the effect above noted The sooner this
thing is remedied the better for the corporation
which, Of course, will have to foot the bill.

army will be made beyond this point
Further intelligence concerning the posi-
ton and Numbers of the rebel army may

General Hunter has taken four compa.

Gen. Hunter ives employed yesterday in

Fremont,s Removal.

We are afraid the Government has done
wrong IN removing Gen. FREMONT. At any
rate. after all that has been said against
him by the Chicago Tribune. and after a
csrefulexamination ofthc charges preferred
against him by Adj. Gen. Thomas. which
we must say is contradictory and one
sided document, the Republicans in this
vicinity. as well as many Democrats. are
very much dissatisfied. They think Gen.
F. has been snjustly dealt by. but for the
sake of'the cause, believing that President
Lincoln has done what he honestly consid-
erred for the best, are willing to postpone
auy discussion of the matter until the re-
bellion is suppressed. We think. howev
err, that Gen. F. owes it to himself and
friends to demand a Court Martial as soon
as practical. and let the country see the ev-
idence on both sides. 1t is unfortuna te
that such difficulties occur at time like
this between the commanders Of or armies,
but It has always been the case. and al
ways will be. we presume. Even during
che Revolution our Generals wrangled with
one another, and .conspiracies were entered
into among them to have Washington re-
moved, be- ause they considered him incom-
petent for the position he occupied. But
time proved they were mistaken, and had
Gen. Fremont been let alone we think he
would have demonstrated that his enemies
were also mistaken in regard to his ability
and fitness for the place he occupied. A
general ought not to be condemned because
he commits one or swo Insignificant blum
lers. OF because he is not invariably sue
cessful. If this rule is adopted we will
soon have no Generals to command our ar
mics. Even Gen. Mcclellan, who owes
his present commanding fame more to ac-
cident than to any great generalship lie has
yet exhibited, but whom we are willing to
see have fair chance to provs his ability.
may. by this rule be disgraced- We are
not sure but lac Is just as response
BILE for the disaster at I.eesburg nights as
Fremont is for Mulligan's defeat. but we
are far from intimating that Gen. McClel-
Ian ought to be removed.
But the deed is done, and the injury,
however great IL may be to Gen. Fremont
as an individual. is nothing in comparison
with the cause of the country. for the good
of which it is the duty of every patriot to
postpone any further discussion of the mat
ter for the present The people win yet
have an opportunity to decide between Gen.
Fremont and his accusers. We would not
be understood by any thing we have said
above that we entertain any doubt of the
patriotism or honesty Of the President. on
account of his removal Of Gen.. Fremont,
and it may be when all the facts are before
us that we will be able to approve his ac-
ton in this respect. At present we regret
that we cannot.

We copy from the Louisville Journal
the following article, which furnishes some
striking facts in relation to the position of
the Confederates in regard to Kentucky.
They are not put forward as mere specula-
tive theories. but from actual information
and knowledge of the strategic position
of the belligcrenrs. The Confederates are
in sore distress and want. the masses are
tired of the unnatural strife forced on them
BY military dcspots. and would willingly
return to their allegiance if they could:
1t oes not seem to us that the Govern
ment comprehends the full importance of
tbs position Of Kentucky. or the necessity
of breaking up the pivotal point. and snap
ping the spinal cord of rail road between
the Atlantic Ocean and the Mississippi
Valley. Such action would as effectuaIly
break the back Of this rebellion rs the sun
dering of the spinal cord would destroy the
vitality Of the human body. The rebels
understand this and there is hardly q
doubt that the fight which seems failing on
the Potomac will soon 'trebly thunder in
the gale in Kentucky. They fally know
that. if they cannot occupy and hold Ken.
lucky this winter they must prepare for
submission. This is not more military
necessity. but a natural, absolute, and vi
tai necessity-the necessity of subsisting
their troops. If then we could break the
rail road connection in East Tennessee,
