Letter from President Lincoln TO General

The following letter from President Lin

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. IL, 1861.
MAJOR GENERAL JOHN C. FREMONT:
SIR: Yours of the Sth. in answer to
mine of the I'd inst, was just received
Assured that you, upon the ground, could
better judge of the necessities of your po-
sition than could at this distance, on see
ing your proclamation of August 80,
perceived no general objection to it; the
particular clause, however, in relation to
the con6scation of property and the lib
Grafton of slaves appeared to me to be OBJ
jectionable in its non-conformity to the
act of Congress, passed the 9th of last
August, upon the same subjects, and hence
| wrote you expressing my wish that chat
clause should be modified accordingly.-
Your answer just received expresse the
preference on your part that should make
an open order for the modification, which
| very cheerfully do. 1t is therefore or
dered that the said clause Of said procla-
nation be so modified, held and construed
as to conform with and not to transcend
the provisions on the same subject con-
tanned in the act Of Congress, entitled
AN act to confscatc property used for in
snrrcctlonary purposes, " approved August
6, 1861, and that said act be published at
length with this order.
Your obedient servant,

We are glad to learn that Gov. Fair

WHATS IN A NAMEY'-MT MANS
FIELD--M. Editor: In the very appro-
pirate notice you gave of Mt. Mansfield,
in your last issue. you ask why is it
called Mansfed?' and add that 1.-The
mountain is the man himself; and the
town in which he laps his head is the true
Mansfield"
Considered etymologically, the name
Mansfield, mans field, may seem some
what inappropriate for locality so little
adapted to agricultural purposes, as this
grand, picturesque and sublime cminence.
Bat its n1me was given to it as other char
cacterstics which were by no means I'M
pleasant to contemplate. 1t is said that
it was named Mansfield. from u fancicd
resemblance which the first English navi-
gators of Lake Champlain saw between
the contour of the placid face of the "old
man." and that of the celebrated Lord
Mansfield of England

MURDER BY A LITTLE BOY.
EortifcatiOns.

On Saturday afternoon Coroner Jones held an
inquest over little boy named James Z. Dickson,
aged ii years, who was found on the day previous
lying with half his body In branch near Oakdale
Cemetry, and almost in dying condition from
gun shot wound in the back of the head. He
was brought home, and physician immedi-
ately called, but his services were unavailable,
and the boy died Saturday forenoon about 10
o'clock. His dying declarations, accompanied by
other corroboratng testimony induced the Coronors
Jury to return verdict that ''the deceased came 20
his death by wound from gun in the hands of
Thomas j. Bishop" another boy aged IL years!
1t seems that on Wednesday last the little boy
who was killed, had taken twenty dollar gold
piece from his mother, with which he and Bishop
bought two small shot guns and ammunition, be-
sides sundry other articles including pair of boots
each. They went out hunting in company with
other boys, and in the afternoon Bishop returned,
bringing Dickson's gun and boots, and stating that
he (Dickson) would not come home until night,
and that he intended to sleep in the COW shed.
The nOn-appearance Of the boy created anxiety,
and search was instituted for him, aud finally he
was found By his mother in the condition above
described-lying with half his body under water,
his head dreadtully mangled by the wound, which,
from the length OF time which had elapsed, had
become suppurated. He had been there in that
condition two nights and day, during the whole
OF which time the weather extremely severe.
He said Bishop shot him; but his mind
dering. Bishop at frs. protested his innocence OF
the whole affair, but afterwards acknowledged
that he shot him, saying, however, that he shot at
bird, and struck Dickson accidentally The
wound, however, showed that the gun must have
been very close to the boy head when it dis
charged, and there was in addition, such evident
contradiction in Bishops statements that the Coro-
nors jury felt it to be their duty 10 render
dict in accordance with the facts above stated and
Bishop was taken to Jail. Bishop, before
stated, is IL l3 years old, and the deceased IL.
They were, we learn, both very bad boys, and
Bishop is now reaping the benefit of being regard
ed the worst, and most lawless boy in the commu-
nifty. 1t is shocking in any point of view.
