Fremont = EAD0AN ~ - AAAA@0AtAs
The Springfield Mo- correspondent Of the
New York Times gives uu amusing account Of
the state Of affairs at Springfield Immediately
preceding and following the removal Of Fremont
We extract the following:
THE REMOVAL.
Late on Saturday night, one Of three messen-
gers sent forward by Col Leonard Sweet, from
St Louis. succeeded in eludiBg the vigilance Of
the guards stationed to prevent access 10 Pre-
mont's headquarters, and served on the general
personally the order from Washington.
Upon this there was, of course, unutterable
CONSERVATION ana C0mmOtIou IN and around
headquarters, and 1t appeared doubtful tor seI-
eral hours what course General Fremont would
pursue. Many Of his leading personal adheTents'
chiefly of the Teutonic stripe, were in favor OF
disregarding the removal, and refusing to recog-
nize Gen. Hunter appointment course which,
if they had persisted in, (and il was not aoan-
doned till late last evening" would have caused
- a very considerable row, for Gen. Hunter Is not
the sort Of man It would De safe to trIhe with

Gen. Fremont. il must be said, either not know
ing anything of the contemplated movements, OF
opposing them, as in duty bound, with all MS
force. On this point, however, we are in the
dark. Certain only il is that a counsel, now
known as Counsel of INSTRUMENTATION, was
held last evening only a few hours before Gen.
Hunters arrival that regular Invitation. 10 IL
had been issued. and that the affair looked very
threatening until suppressed by the emphatic
course Of Gen. SigeL-
ARRIVAL OF ID HUNTER.
At or about 9 O'Clock last evening, General
Hunter arrived I'm town. and soon after called al
Gen. FremUut's late headquarters, where a couu-
cI of the more prominent generals had been as
srmbled 10 meet him. The interview lasted
about an hour. and the only ding known con
corning its results may be summed up in the fact
that Gen. H returned 90 his quarters, accompa-
MED by Gen. POpe-bOth laughing very heartily
at something which your correspondent does not
even venture 10 surmIse. Certain It Is only, that
the excited and teverish sentiment Of Springfield

THE ID GUARD-THE RUNNING-oFF PAY

Meantime, at an early hour this morning,
General Fremont took hIs leave, his Indian
body guard riding first, followed By his white
body guard, - and the rear being brought up
by another Indian " body guard with a train

Gen. Fremont carried away with him deputy
payuss.er Phinney, with the military chest, con-
is ming S3O0,G00, so far IS known, thus leaving
the army absolutely destitute Of pay, with the
exception of those favored &" body guard pe0-

pointed staff officers, who were all paid off in full
immediately after Fremont had received notlh

chaos into which Gen. Hunter was pitched head

changed post to-day.
