ST. LOUIS, Sept. 16.-Wiih reference to ths re-
moval Of General Fremont the Dem0cra. of this
merning holds the following language.
The removal of Gen. Fremont, we do not think
has been seriously considered by the Administration
Complaints have undoubtedly been made against
him. and possibly ehsrges preferred, which, Of
course, viii be duly and properly investigated but
those proceedings we satisfied have never look
ed to a result as serious his removal from this
Department. His extraordinary energy and eff
cheney are too highly appreciated by the Govern
ment, and the nan and his measures are too deeply
seated in the affections Of the people Of the loyal
States TO admi. the probabilities CT any such events
- -GNEw SEAT OF GOVERNMENT FOR MISSOURI
ST, LOUB, Sept. lG.-The Repu5Eean learns that
Col Marshall, when ct Lexington few days since
took possession Of quantity Of property belonging
to the State iRcluding books papers and the greas
seal of the State, which Jackson took from Jeffef
son City. After the defeat Of the State troops a.
Boonvile, BY Gen. Lyon, Gov. Jackson positively
announced his intention 10 establish the capitol At
Lexington, claiming that he had full authority to
do 30. Itmay be that this PrOgramms has not been
and the frequent movements of Gene
raj S, Price who doubtless is in possession OF
Lexington, is with the view Of planting the OF
Government there. Whether the Legislature which
May last, TO meet again to day, viii be
ready to proceed to business, caUnot now be ascer
tanned.

r: Yours Of the 8Eh inst, containing an erroneous
construction of my proclamation Of the 3Osh ult,
las bad my attention. / understand the object Of
our note TO be to inquire whether it is my iRten-
ion to shoot the wounded who may be made pris-
ners by the forces under my command. The fol-
owing paragraph extracted from the proclamation
will be strictly enforced within the limits prescrib
d, against the class of offenders for whom it was
Intended
:" All persona who shall be taken with arms in
heir hands within the lines shall be treated with
ourt martial and if found guilty will be shot"
The Lines expressly declared to be those Of the
rmy in the military occupation Of the State.
You have wholly misapprehended the meaning Of
he proclamation. Without undertaking to deter
nine the condition of any maa engaged in this re-
ellion, desire to be perfectly understood that the
reclamation is INTENDED distinctly to recognize the
sual right Of an open enemy in the field and to be
al respects strictly conformable to The usages Of
var.
II is hardly necessary for me to say that it was
ot prepar, with any purpose to ignore the ordi-
AIRY rights Of humanity with respect to wounded
zen or C those who humanely engaged in ale
iating their suferings. J. c. FRENONT.
