Gen. Fremont may possibly be an incompetent

to be pretty vide awake to making improvements

pearing man came up to where . person was sit
ting in seat next to Mr.. NJ, and without saying
q word, drew II revolver and fred three balls
into the man, killing him almost instantly. As
Mr. NJ. held up the head Of the dying man, the
murdered said to him: care you friend of this
man." Mr.. N. replied, II am the friend of any
dying man." The stranger said, at you are his
friend will put ball into you" He then laid
down the revolver, and the conductor coming
along said to him, "Whst did you do that for ?"
He replied, "There lies my revolver with three
more balls init--take it and do what you please
with i'll am satisfied now. If you know your
business you will take this dead man and myself
to Canada, and then you will find out all about
it." He gave his name to be Mcdonald, and said

conductor, and another person, went into another
part of the car with the murderer, when he took
out a cigar, lit it, and went to smoking as calm
and composed as if nothing had happened.

Under these embarrassments, public
opinion is fast settling down upon the idea
that We have too many other incompetent
Generals in active service, and that it is
under their prevailing counsels that the
war,
Like wounded snake, drass its siow length along.
The failure Of that incompetent old Gen.
eral, Patterson, for example, to take care
of the rebel johnson, in the valley of Vir-
ginia, is painfully remembered as the prin-
cipal cause of our expensive defeat ut Man
assas and while, on the other hand, from
the brilliant campaign 6f Gen. Mcclellan
in Western Virginia, we all believe that
he is the man to wipe out the disaster Of
Bull Run, We have reason to fear that he
IS clogged in his movements by the cloudy
concerts of old men, and of incompetent
men, soho should not bepermitted to stand
in his ,cay. = = =
Briefly, while the public service re-
quires, as the leaders Of our armies, such
men as Mcclellan, Sherman, Rosencrans,
Lyon, Sisel, and Sturgis -skillful. vigor-
our, educated, and experienced officers
the crisis as sternly demands the ,oeediug
out or retirement Of all incompetent pre-
tenders and snperannuated old gentlemen.

"Dan Webster, or handsome Dan," the
familiar sobriquet BY which he was known
to the men, women and children through
ont the city, il gelding ofa beautifully
dappled mahogany-bay color, with three
white feet and ! star, very large flowing
black mane and tail, the latter regular
spout" He is sixteen hands, and, weighs
in ordinary flesh, 1850 pounds. He Was
sired BY Gen. jackson, dam Of Sir Arehy
and Messenger blood. He has fine, bony
and Intelligent head, delicately tapered
ear, and proud beautifully arc-ed neck,
capital shoulders, very long and muscular
arms, whose symmetry could not be improv-
ed were they carved to order; his chest Is
broad aud deep, his legs fine, fat and
bony, with hs hooks and knees well down
70 his heels, and his fetlocks almost to
the ground, with well.ribbed barrel Of
tremendous length, and line, and hips
remarkable for strength and beauty: in
deed, his fine points, and evenly balanced
proportions make him in the fullest sense
ofthe term, q model horse, not only for SYM
merry, but for speed and stoutness. Al .
field horse, I never saw his superior,
being very s'topy" when in action, with q
proud and nervous step, his head As high
IS his riders when mounted, and his
throat-latch and the tips of fore feet al
most on perpendicular line when in re-
pose. He possesses many characteristics
common to no other one Of his species /
have ever known. For instance, he will
not stamp his feet nor shake fly off if
there we're thousand on him, seeming
to entertain contempt for all lesser ami
mails; and his confidence in and affection for
the human species is such that he will not,
under any circumstances, snffer his atten-
ton to be drawn from his master by any
minor object. To his own species he pays
no attention, passing among them without
deigning them the slightest notice, even
when turned loose in the same yard or
field. He will follow his master up any.
any flight of stairs, or along any precipice
where he can get foothold, relying on
his masters judgment for his safety; will
stand any where he is left without con-
straint, and is as brave as lien and as
discreet as judge May he bear his
noble master on to victory-conquering
and to conquer-until this foul rebellion
is crushed out and peace aud union once
more restored to our distracted country"

>. The MAMMOTH ARMY BAKERY.-We
first visited the vault under the rotunda,
which is used as store room for the i'm
mense quantity of -four which is being
daily received, The wagons are constant
ly kept busy delivering their loads under
the eastern portico, from whence the bar
rels are rolled into q vault. Whenever
the -four is needed it is sided down to
the floor below. The amount of -four con-
stantly in this room is between four and
eight thousand barrels Retracing our
steps, we came again to the vicinity of
the fountain, where we found eight ovens
in full operation, turning out about &c, 900
leaves Of bread every "a hours. The
bread is of the best quality, and each loaf
weighs 20 ounces. There are 40 bakers
employed at these ovens, who have on one
or two occasions, when pressed, run out
"a 900 leaves per day. Adjacent to these
ovens are two rooms, one on each side of
the entrance, from which the bread is de-
livered. 1t may not be uninteresting to
know the form in use. When the requi-
sition is sent by quartermaster to the
subsistence department at the post-ofice
for the rations for his regiment, an order
is drawn for the bread on Lieut.. Cate, to
whom the driver of the wagon presents 1t
and is furnished with a ticket, which is
handed in at the delivery window, and
the breadis forthwith passed out on smooth
boards to the wagons. The mess room and
the kitchen also on this floor, and the
hands, to the number Of 160, here take
their meals. This department is super
intended by Mr.. Levi NJ. Pierce, formerly
of the 9Th Massachusetts regiment, and
the clearly appearance observable, as well
as the well-catered meals Get out, give in
disputable evidence that he " can keep a
hotel"
Outside of the building, in the vaults
heretofore used for the slowing of fuel,
we find six double sized ovens built, en-
ploying ten bakers each, and capable of
turning out 10000 loaves per day, but at
present averaging about 1000. Near by
are two other rooms, in which eight men
are constantly employed in making yeast,
of which about fourteen hundred and fifty
gallons is made per Washington
Republican.

To expect that Pennsylvania Legislature can with
