Gen. Fremont.

.a Gen. Fremont. NiI. .G D.
The following truthful picture Of ono
Of Lincoln's Generals is from . Richmond
paper: t. ... ra.; H -
GENERAL FRsnoNr.--The career of Gen,
Fremont has been brief and brilliant
We ventured 70 espreas the opinion,
when he rose with . rocket-like glare
over the department of the Missouri" y
that he would p come down like b
stick. He has done batter than we sx.
pected. He has won no grand victories,
IL Is true, but he has exhibited the touch
ing spectacle Of . patriot yielding to
temptation, and permitting his pockets
to be filed at the expense Of his reputa-
ton. II Fremont had chosen to pursue
the vulgar path of military glory, he
would probably now be in the possession
Of Gen. Price, or transferred to an apart.
ment in Richmond tobacco factory
But he sbstained, with commendable
discretion, from every act which could
imperil HE person or his fame, and con.
tented himself with pursuing Federal
ducats, instead of ragged Confederates.-
The extent Of his financial achievements
will not probably be fully known before
the close of the war. l-. gut
We think it likely that he has mulotsd
the Lincoln exchequer to the tune Of
several millions, and thus more than full.
filled the expectation OF his friends.-
We, feel grateful TO Fremont for his sue.
cessful speculations, and only regret that
be has 20 soon been Withdrawn from a
career OF usefulness 10 our county,
We had hoped that his influence would
prove strong enough 10 sustain him in .
position where, by bis Abolition and con.
hscating proclivities, and his mastery
depletion Of the Fsdsrsl treasury, he has
rendersd incalculable service 70 the Con.
federate cause. As NATIVE OF Virgins,
We felt proud Of Fremont, and hoped he
would be spared to demonstrate that in
every department Of human enterprise
the Old Dominion can surpass all compe-
tition. Having produced in Scott "the
greatest coward in the world" We indulg-
cd q pleasing anticipation that Virginia
could claim in Fremont such a sapper
and miner Of a public treasury a. man.
kind had never seen. Virginia never
gives birth to ordinary public characters.
They are like the prophets figs. the good,
very good, and the bad, very bad. Ere.
mont owes 1t TO his native State not to
retire altogether frem political Affairs
Let him set up an independent monar.
chy in the West, With Jessie ~ Lieutsn-
ant General. Now is the time to strike
q bold blow for immortality and founi
dynasty, around which the foreign ele.
ment in Missouri, and all other admirers
of legitimacy will rally 90 one man.

SATURDAY EVENING, Sept. IA. 1861.
There is no Northern Exchange to be hsd, the
Banks 10 New York having early in the week re-
fused to honor the checks of their correspondents in
this city, in consequence of the balances due South
erners having been seized BY the LISCoLN Governs
ment. Since then there hss been heavy demand
for Gold, and it has gone up to Is per cent pre-
MUM, at which We have heard of large amounts
being taken By parties who, it is presumed, wished
to use it in some portion of the Ualted States We
quote the buy ing and selling rates at lS1@I6 per
cent premium. We omit quotations for Exchange
as there is no demand for it on any point South
There lie still extraordinary scarcity of Silver
change,snd We hear of parties paying as high as I24
per cent pre- MUM fer small amounts. This scarcity
is not confined to Nashville. We notice that tie

The Bank of West Tennessee has made an ar
rangement with the Planters Bank to redeem its
notes. and they are now taken at par. The Ocoee
Bank has similar arrangement with tbs City
Bank, and its notes are now taken at par, as well
as those of the DsndTidge Bank and the Farmers
Bank, which belong 10 the Ocoee Bank.
business has been unusually active during the
yast week, and we have noticed th2t considerable
proportion of it has been of speculative character,
still, the legitimate bv~iness has been heavy, be-
cause ours has been the only market in the South
where the trade could be supplied with assorted
stocks. But these heavy demands have greatly re,
dueed the stocks, and of Groceries and Provisions
there new only very light supplies.
The demand for Flour continues TO press upon
the market. and although no advance has beer. es-
tablished in wholesale rates the tendency Is decid
edly upward. The heavy demand for Fi0ur to
supply cur army added to the demand for dome
consumption, tssps The nins h shs cOOfsdsssss
