Letter from Fremont.

ST. LOUIS, September 27.-The following
will appear in the Democrat tomorrow. Just
before leaving the city General Fremont
wrote letter to friend in New York. We
have succeeded in obtaining a.copy, which,
as it relates to public affairs and possesses at
this time peculiar interest, we commit no i'm
propriety in laying it before our readers:
"ST. LOUIS, Sept. &c, 1861.
MY DEAR SIR: l leave at eight in the
morning, and send you this hurried note in
the midst of the last arrangements before
starting. We have to contend with an en-
emy having no posts to garrison, no lines Of
transportation to defend or guard, whose
whole force can be turned at will to any one
point, while we have from Leaven worth to
Cairo, and from Fort Scott to Paducah, to
keep protected.
"I wish to say to you, that though the
position is difficult, l am competent to it and
to the enemy in the field. l am not able at
the same time to attend to the enemy at
home. 1t is;a shame to the country that an
officer going into the field, his life in his
hand solely actuated by the desire to serve
his country and win for himself its good
opinions with no other object, should be de-
stroyed by system of concerted attacks
utterly without foundation. Charges are
spoken of when there are no charges; explain.
ations where there are none to be made.
falsehoods, except to fsmiliarize the public
mind to the idea that something is wrong?
"Already our credit, which was good, is
shaken in consequence Of the newspaper in
timations of my being removed.
"Money is now demanded by those fur
nishing supplies. To defend myself now
would require the time that is necessary to
and belongs to my duty against the enemy.
'lf permitted by the country this state of
things will not fail to bring on disasters. But
l never would have been attacked in my ca
pscity as an individual.
al am no exponent of a part Of the force
of the nation directed against the enemy OF
the country. Every thing that is directed
against me is directed against it, and gives
its enemy aid and comfort. My private char
acter comes in only incidentally-I defend
it because naturally his reputation is dear to
any man, but only incidentally.
"This is the foundation of many of my
acts, and will be il l stay here. Every
thing that hurts, impedes OF embarrasses the
work intrusted to me, strike without hesi-
tation. take the consequences. The worst
that can happen to me is relief from great
labor.
"Yours truly, ~. G. FREMONT"

betrayed considerable feeling, and tears
streamed down his cheeks, when he told
Major Kiefer, who took the body, that it was
the remains of John A Washington, grand
nephew of the immortal lie was on Gen.
eral Lees staff, and held very prominent
position. The companies were kept out
seven days and nights and not ordered back
till the rebels had retreated TO their original
position. The companies returned with
many laurels to their regiments, and re.
ceived the especial mention from General
Reynolds for their untiring watchfulness
and bravery.
Nothing has been heard in regard to
Captain Bense and his men since | wrote
last. Two more of his men have returned,
having escaped after the cutting off of the
main party. They were on picket duty, and
not knowing Captain Bense had been
captured, were returning to the Captains
headquarters, when they were met by q
friendly female who told them of the cap
ture. They Immediately took to the woods,
and were there three days before they could
egain our camp.
Two or three days since We learned that
one of Captain B. g men, who was supposed
dead, was found in the woods, bullet hav-
ing passed through the top of his head, ex-
posing the brain. He had been taken to a
house and kindly treated by the inmates.
Surgeon Amess, with assistants, went imme-
diately and had him brought to camp. He
is unable to speak, so we can learn nothing
from him in regard to his comrades. His
name is Jacob Hillflicker. Corporal Henry
Choat, privates James Martin and John Nc
Clone have returned also, they being on
picket at the time Of capture. GregeOre
Yelle was killed Sunday.
To day we enjoyed serenade from the
brass band attached to the Third Ohio Regi-
ment. We miss Menter much Many an hour
would pass lightly were he here with his
band.
s0ne would judge by your city papers that
an effort is about to be made by "the stay
at home party" to declare vacant the offices
of those who brayely volunteered at the first
call of our country. Now we know Of several
instances where this would prove contempti-
BILE meanness, and in fact be no Tetrenchment
either. The paltry pittance allowed q Lieu
tenant is not sufficient to maintain a man
respectfully, and much less if he has family.
1fthere are men contemplate enough to urge
the declaration of vacancies' for the pur-
| pose Of securing to themselves the little bene-
| fit, they must be base ingrates indeed, and as
sure as the sun sets there will come day OF
retribution when the war is ended.
The Ninth Indiana is now with us and are
making the welkin ring with their yells.
So III close, telling you we have brigade
| of eight or nine thousand men right here in
one lump. Yours, as ever,
ALF. BURNETT.
