There is great praise expressed for Null !.
gan and his men, who fought with the
utmost gallantry against the greatest odds.
The moral effect OF the defeat is bad and
dsheartening, but from q military point OF
view it is regarded as al right. Fremont
has been waiting for weeks to get the rebels
lust where they are now, so that they cannot
possibly retreat. Before We were afraid that
they would, on finding themselves threaten
ed seriously, play the I'D game OF dispensing
into little bands, and there would be NOBODY
to fight.
This victory will so encourage them that
they will be sure to give US fight, and we
feel very hopeful of decisive battle by next
Saturday, which will utterly cut them to

tW Col. F. P. Blair cooly informs the
country that his difference with General Ere
mont arises from his objections to the man
agement of the army. We wera not aware
that either in his ca pacity as Colonel or Con-
gresham he had charge of the Western Mill
tary Department. 1t is stated that the point
of his objection to Fremont's operations is
that too much attention has been paid to the
organization of great expedition 70 60 down
the river, and too little to driving out the reb-
ell hordes that infest Miss uri This strikes
US as very shallow objection. The rebel
armies would not be likely to remain long in
