While it is true that these enactments
have never been enforced in our State,
nnquestiOnably general public attention
has been called to them, just now, for the
reason that some of the promoters of dis
union have paraded them as pretext
for the treason which they propose to
commit in the South, Il undoubtedly they
are stumbling block in the way Of the
true friends of the Union, whose voice is,
for the present, almort drowned in the
howl which the conspirator have contrived
TO raise, l would not counsel their re-
peal for the mere purpose Of attempting
10 please the plotters of treason at the
South; nor would Irefrain from it 10 graf.
ify fanaticism. which is equally hostile 10
tho Constitution. 10 the North. The for.
mer class openly declare that they care
nothing about them. and that their repeal
would change no purpose Of theirs. You
have seen the Senatorial declarations o
lveIson, Clingman and their compeers, tc
that effect. And the misohiefmakers ia
the North, of whom there are to many
who desire to keep up an inaamed condi
ton of public sentiment, will, Of course
oppose repeal. But they should be re-
pealed because they are wrong; and be,
ing wrong, our own good cause is weak
ened by their continuance; and the sin
oere friends of the Union in tho South are
weakened because there is this single
and only vulnerable point which they
cannot defend. Let our own States bt
right, aod thus be invulnerable!
Lct us, in coming before the angus!
tribunal of public opinion, and asking fol
the just judgement Of the civilized worc
and ofposIerity, strip ourselves of every
imoediment which may embarrsss US il
the conflict.

Letter from Gen. Fremont.

ST. LOUIS, Sept, 27.-The follow
ing will appear in the Democrat to-mor-
row: Just before leaving the city, Gen.
Fremont wrote letter to friend in
New York. We have succeeded in
obtaining copy, which as it relates to
public affairs, and possesses at this time
peculiar interest, we commit no impro-
priety in laying it before our readers:
ST. Louis, Sept. 26, 1861.
My DEAR Sir: [ leave at s O'Clock
in the morning, and send you this hur-
ried note in the midst of the last ar
rangements before starting. We have
to contend with an enemy having no
forts to garrison and no lines of trans
portation to defend or guard; whose
whole force can be turned at will any
one point, while we have from Leayen-
worth to Cairo and from Fort Scott to
Paducah to keep protected. I wish
to say to you that though the position
is difficult, | am competent to meet it
and the enemy in the field, but am not
able at the same time to attend to the
enemy at home. 1t is shame to the
country that an officer going to the field,
with his life i'll his hand, solely actual
ed by the desire to serve his country
and win for himself it's good opinion,
With no other object, should be des-
troyed by system of concerted at
tacks, utterly without foundation. Char
ges are spoken of when there are no
charges. Explanations when there are
none to be made. What is the object of a
repetition Of these falschoods, except
to tamiliarize the public mind to the
idea that something is wrong. Already
our credit, which was good, is shaken
III consequence of the newspaper intim-
alton Of my being removed Money is
now demanded by those furnishing sup
plies. To defend myself now would re-
quire the time that is necessary to and
belongs to my duty against the enemy
lfpermitted by the country, this state
of things will not fail to bring on disas-
ter. But | never would have been at
tackled In my capacity as an individual.
| am an exponent OF a part of the force
of the nation directed against the enemy
of the country. Everything that is di-
rected against me is directed against it,
and gives its enemies aid and comfort
My private character comes in only in
cidentally. [ defend it because natur-
ally his reputation is dear to any man,
but only incidentally. This IS the foun-
dation of many Of my acts, and will be
if | stay here. Everything that hurts,
impedes or embarras>es the work in
trusted to me, | strike at without hesi-
tation; [ take the consequences. The
worst that can happen to me is relief
from great labor. Yours truly,
J. G. Fremont.

A Thrilling Scene.

A tale Of the sea entitled "The Fair
Inez," by AETEMUs WARD, is given to
the patrons of Vuoity Fur in weekly
chapters We copy from late issue
the following account of an interview
between the heroine and the corsair
chief 1t is a true picture, according
to all sensation stories:
When Inez awoke the storm had ceas-
ed, the wild night had passed, and the
morning was bright and beautiful.
The maideu looked around her. The
scene was passing strange.
She was lying upon q fine twelve dol
lar lounge, IN an apartment Of sumptu-
Gus elegance.
"Where am % she murmured.
"Safe, lady," said a soft, futelike
voice. Safe from all harm :"
Inez looked up. A chivalrous look
ing young man, arrayed in garment
efred silken velvet, thick studded with
diamonds Of incalculable value, stood
over her, gentle smile irradiating his
fascinated though swarthy features.
"Safe, ladyn' he repeated. You will
be the corsair's bride ~
II don'tsee it, said the gentle Inez.
"Ha!" cried the pirate, ''longe.st
thou, then, for the laughing hillocks and
believing bulIocks of thy own chilly
cline ?"
Il have no hesitancy in asserting
that do" she replied.
"If gold be your desire," said the
pirate chef, taking his pocket book,
and brandishing a ten dollar bill on the
Waukegan bank of Illinois, ''here it is !"
"Miscreant, | spurn the vile dross .
Besides, there's ten per cent discount
on it." Thus spoke the noble Inez.

How We Keep House.

Ny chum and I had often, in the
privacy of our rooms, wondered how q
family of only three persons could make
50 much work, and why our landlady
should, on some particular days, keep
on her feet from morn till night. Al
though we could appreciate the clear
coffee, the tender beef steak, and the
light biscuit, that were daily placed
before us, yet we thought if household
duties dcvolved upon us, we could per-
form them IN half the time, and not
make half the fuss about it either; and
we had more than once freely express
ed our opinions as to the manner in
which household affairs should be treat
ed, but the merry twinkle in the eye of
our good natured landlady, and the
oft-repeated expression, "A mans
work is from sun to sun, but woman's S
work is never done," did not convince
us; and old bachelor like, we began
to think of q home of our own, where
we could have the privilege of trying
our hand at the culinary business
providing Mrs. Somebody was willing.
One evening, as we sat down to the
table, our landlady informed us that
she had been called out of town to Wis
it u sick friend, and, as she expected
to be absent a few days, she would try
aud find some one to ia ke charge ofthe
house and It's occupants. Tom and |
protested against the heunnecessaryt troub-
le, for, was not this the opportunity we
had long been wishing for? We were
large enough to take care of ourselves,
and she need have no fears on our ac-
count. After much entreaty on our
part, and objecting on the lady's side,
consent was won for us to act for our
selves; and, after showing us the bar,
rels, frkins, and boxes, containing the
ingredients used in cooking, and deliv-
ering the keys ofstore-room and closet,
our landlady bid us good by, with a
wish that we might have a pleasant as
we'll IS a profitable time
The anticipated baking on the NOR
row possessed for us more charms than
did ever 4 box of marbles in our bow
hood days. That evening we read all
the receipts in the cookbook, from
making bread to frosting wedding
cake, and, in our own conceit, thought
we we're wise enough to do anything.

Missing.

Not among the suffering wounded
Not among the peaceful dead;
But among the prisoners MISSING,
That was all the message SAID.
Yet his mother read it over
Until, through her painful tears
Fades the dear name she has called him
For these twO-and twenty years.
Round her all is peace and plenty;
Bright and clear the yellow floor;
While the morning glories cluster
All around the kitchen door
Soberlv, the sleek old housecat
Drowscs in his patch Of sun;
Neatly shines the oaken dresser;
All the mornings work is done.
Through the window comes the fragrance
Of the sunny harvest morn;
Fragrant songs from distant reapcrs,
And the rustlng of the corn;
And the rich breath of the garden,
Where the golden melons lie;
Where the blushing plums arc turning
All their red cheeks to the sky.
Sitting there within the sunshine,
Leaning in her easy chair,
With soft lines upon her forehead,
And the silver III her hair
Blind to sunshine-dead to fragrance
On that royal harvest morn;
Thinking, while her heart is weeping,
OF her noble e-broWcd frst-born;
How he left her in the spring-time,
With his young heart full OF flame,
With his clear and ringing footstep,
With his 1.-the and supple frame;
How with tears his eyes were brimming,
As he kissed his last "Good-bye,"
Yet she heard him whi9tling gaily,
As he went across the rye.
M1ssISG. Why should he be missing?
lie would fight until he fell;
And if wounded, killed, or pris'ner,
Some one there would be to tell.
MISSING. SilI hope to cheer her
Safe, triumphant he may come,
With the victor army shouting,
With the clamor of the drum
SO through all the days of autumn
In the eve and in the morn,
She will hear his quick ming footsteps
In the rustling Of the corn.
Otter she will hush the household,
While her heart is leaping high,
Thinking that she hears him whiatling
In the pathway through the rye.
Far away, through all the autumn,
In Il lonely, lonely glade
In the drcary desolation
That the battIc-storm has made;
With the rust upon his musket-
In the eve and in the morn
In the rank gloom Of the tern-caves,
Lies her noble-browed trst-born.
