Fremnnt.

We think there is no danger of Fremonts
removal, The order from President Lin
coin which We published yesterday, ex-
presses no dissatisfaction with the general
course Of the gsllant Pathfinder, and it
cannot be that the Administration has
found cause for fault in the bold course
which he has taken in dealing with the re
bellion as he found it. The modification of
his proclamation, as ordered, is no sign of
general distrust and displeasnre. And it
must be apparent to the Administration
that it cannot. afford to dismiss this man
who has in one short month so gathered
the heart Of the nation around him. Even
Il be had in any manner, unknown to u.s.
transsendsd his powers, it would be bad
policy to give the public cause for grum-
bling at his removal. The mass of the
people are with him and. for him to the
death, and they would not stop to examine
all the points Of Sn act which, az whole,
would so cut in upon their preferences.
The Cincinnati Commercial says of the
report that Secretary Chase was opposed to
Fremont:
The truth is, Mr.. Chase believed that
General Lyon and General sigel, if prop
erly supported, were competent for the
work in Missouri and he thought Gen. |
Fremont might for time be better oocu-
pied elsewhere. In this connection We take
the liberty Of making an extract from a
private letter, to a gentleman Of this city, |
written BY Mr. Chase on the 24th of July
three days after the defeat at Bulls Run,
as folloFs:
at was my wish two weeks ago that
Fremont should take the place Of Patter-
son. Had it been so ordered ths disaster Of |
sunday sDouId meter haze occurred
P.s.-The telegraph brings rumor Of
Fremonfs having resigned We do not
credit the rumOr, believing that though he
may feel aggrievel, he will appreciate the
faot that his services are Of too much value
% the country to be lost ct this time.

TIE CESSATION.

A FIRE on both sides from musketty and
artillery, was sustained nearly three and a
half hours, with occasional intervals of al
most entire silence, when darkness compelled
the withdrawal of our troops from the woods
They obeyed the order to fall back with OBJ
-vious reluctance, having fougA 1t their way to
positions which would have enabled them to
carry the position with the bayonet at a sim
gle dash, which would have been done had

the game fellows were withdrawn and biv-
Ouaeked under the-very heavy guns of the
enemy, sleeping on their arms supperless,
and ready to carry the position by storm at
sunrise next morning.

FALL OF COL. LOWE.

Meanwhile, the 18th Ohio, Col. Lowe, were
led into the field by lheir Colonel, under di-
rection Of Adjutant General Hartsuf, but the
route assigned them was lmpracticable,
aud the Colonel, in seeking to obey orders,
finally worked into cornfeld, directly in
the face of the enemy's front battery, and
while hfayely encouraging his men, his fore
head was pierced by rife ball, and he fell
to rise no more, thus vindleating his reputa-
ton against the cruel aspersions of malignant
enemies II is curious that be was the only
man in his regiment who was killed, not

el Injustice that ha1 been done him in aspers-
ing his personal courage, remarking that a
charge of coYardice IN battle could not be
lived down, and that his life must be saeri-
liced to vindicate his reputation. A sadder
conversation never had with man. He was
deeply imbued with conviction that be must
fall in conflict to redeem his name. The con
viction have expressed is confirmed by his
conversation with the chaplain OF his regi-
ment before going into battle. He said he
had presentimeBt of his fate, and desired
the chaplain to take charge of his property
should his iorebodings be realized. While
feeling his way through the bushes, he asked
to be led where the fight was the thickest
saying he wished to be with Lylle and Smith,
because he knew there was fighting where
they were. He died the death of gallant
man. Reader, drop tear to his memory,
and noror his name, for he shed lustre in his
last moments upon the sacred cause OF the
Union.

Orders az last arrived from Gen. Rose
Grams FOR Col MoCook 10 advance his bri-
gGde. Then ensued q scene battling de.
soription. The gallant Colonel dashed
along his lines inspiring his men with his
own enthusiasm, and the hearty felloWs
shook the mountains with their wild 40
claim. The Dutchmen we're seized with
war frenzy and screamed the stormy
charge with which their ancestors we're
wont to 60 into battle. McCook himself
charged up and down his columns with his
hat gone, none knew whittier, his face
blazing with the light Of battle, both arms
gesticulatiug while he roared, Forward,
my bully Dutchmen, and we'll 60 over the
d-d sntrenohmenis il we die on the other
side" Now that the WholS soene is before
me in calm moments, it seemed to me that
pandemonium had broken loose among the
brave Dutohmen, and that McCook WGs his
satanic majesty, engaged in a righteous
cause. Il inspired everybody, and every
spectator flung himself passionately up and
down the lines, cheering them onward, as
the brigade double quioked down into the
road, and poured on their massive column
to the field. What point shall We 60 tor
