EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
SAVED BY A SHREWD MAN.
EUNER.

Before martial law was eStab-
lisned in St. Joseph, Mo-, gang
OF Secession outlaws had their
evil eye upon SS0,OOO in gold, in
the Express office, and were pre-.
pairing to pounce upon it, when
the agent in charge Of the money
adopted a plan to deceive them.
The Omaha Nebraskian says:
"From the cellar an old trunk,
without lock, ard covered with
mold, cobwebs and dust, was
brought forth. From the old
clothes inside, one of the meSsen-
gers quickly selected a suit more
compatible with the appearance
of the trunk than the one he gen
orally wore. The treasure was
then packed snugly inside, and an
old piece OF rope tied carelessly
around it, supplied the place of
the lock and held the lid securely
down. Hurrying down street as
fast as his clumsy boots would let
him, our messenger, disguised as
an anxious clodhopper, secured a
drayman, and telling him that the
times were getting rathef hot in
St. Joseph, he had con luded to
90 to Elwood, and that he had
some baggage at the Express office
he would like to have taken over
The drayman went with him, and
after a little parleying with the
Express agent to let the trunk go
without the payment OF a small
charge alleged to be upon it, and
while the back of the owner was
turned, made fun to the drayman
of his appearance and his trunk,
and finally helped the owner load
it, putting eff the drayman. who
was anxious to help, with 'Never
mind, it's no trouble
Walking down the middle Of
the street, behind the dray, our
disguised messenger soon reached
the river, and in a few minutes
more was safely in Elwood.-
Thus S6O.000 in hard gold passed
the very eyes of the rebels at St.
Joseph. Joined by another mes.
senger, equally rough in appear
aace, a team was hired to take
them to Nebraska City, and from
thence they came to Omaha, with
the same old trunk and its load of
treasure, strapped on behind as if
it did not contain anything but
old clothes.

WHEN THE BATTLE MAY BE
EXPEC TED.

The public must not be impa,
tient for the cIashing of the two
great armies now approaching
each other in the center Of the
State. The best information from
Lexington is to the effect that
Gen. Price will make MS stand
at that city with the main body Of
his army, and perhaps choose as
his vantage ground the very en-
trenchments which were so gal.
Iantly and successfully defended
by Col. Mulligan. To reach
him, therefore, and give him de-
cisive battle even within ten days
time, will require extraordinary
exertion on the part of General

SOME OF TIE REASONS WHY.

From the Gin. Commercial, Sept 2G.l
Bat why has not Fremont
driven the Rebels out Of Nlissou-
ri, and why did he permit the
fall OF Lexington?
La the first place, a majority Of
the men who take up arms in
Missouri, fight for the Rebels.
In the second place, more reg
iments have been sent into the
State by the Confederate than the
United States authorities. For
some time alter Gen. Fremont
took command. the army lost
strength, though public opinion
was that it was increasing enor-
mously. The dissolution OF the
three months regiments was not
compensated by the appearance
OF raw three years men. Many
regiments that Fremont ought to
have had, were taken to Wash
ington. He was crippled terribly
for want of money. We believe
ourselves to be stating the case
very moderately, when we say
the Government has been penuri-
Gus in It's transactions with him.
He has also been sorely troubled
because good arms could not be
procured in sufficient quantities.
He was not permitted to purchase
hundred thousand stand of arms
in Europe, as he wished to do.
The St. Louis Arsenal was emp
tied early In the war. He needs
twenty five thousand new rifles
now. He can't get sabers for his
cavalry, and is driven to order
two thousand FIVE hundred lances,
made here, another instance, We
suppose, OF his extravaganza.
He was accused some time
since of having a great army
and the Government appe ared TO
be of the opinion that a great
army anywhere, except on the

COL. sol. MEREDTTEE.

a pleasant story is told by a
correspondent, OF Col. Sol. Mere
dith, OF Wayne County, Ind,
now commanding the l9,h Ind
ana on the Potomac.
At the Lewinsville skirmish.
the Colonel was at the head OF
bis men as they were formed in
line OF battle, under the fire of
the enemy. As the shells explo-
ded over them, his boys would
inyoluntarilv duck their heads.
The Colonel saw their motions.
and In pleasant way exhorted
them, as he rode along the line,
to hold up their heads and act
like men. He turned to speak to
one of his officers, and at that
moment an Is pound she'll burst
within few yards of him, scat
tering the fragments in all direc.
tlons. Instlnctively he jerked
his head almost to the saddle bow
while his horse squatted with
fear. Boys said he, as he
raised up and refined his steed,
you may dodge the large oneslp
A laugh ran along the line at his
expense, and after that no more
was said about the impropriet.

Potomac, would be an error Of
Judgment, and peremptorlly or
dered five of his best regiments to
Washington, breaking up at once,
and necessarily, all his plans, and
resulting, as We verify believe, in
preventing the relief of Lexington
and an advance upon Columbus
and New Madrid.
A correspondent of the n. Y.
World writing from St. Louis on
the Doth, says of him:
Though the atmosphere above
him and below him lie filled with
the reproaches OF mutlnous off
GERS and an angry Cabinet; tho
a savage enemy be laundering on
his frontier, and a Rebel State be
wrlthing under his feet Ike the
great dragon under the heel of St.
Michael, Fremont is quiet and
collected, master of himself and
his instruments.
1t is a difficult thing to hold a
wild cat in each hand and attack
a panther in front of you; and
when, in addition, your own
friends begin a brisk and mag
unanimous fire in the rear, success
becomes at least conjectural. Yet
this is nearly Fremont's position
to day. As fast as he concen-
trates his forces the enemy occp-
py the towns thus vacated, and the
outraged Unionists besiege the
General for succor. Ii he scat
ters his troops garrison-wise
among the towns, the country
clar>brs against inaction, and re-
proachfulIy points to New Mad
rid and Columbus. While every
nerve is strained for public use,
the ilI-timed criticisms Of impru-
dent friends endanger his efficien-
cy; and while, with his little ar
my Of IlliDolSianS, he prepares to
do battle with the whole South
west, he is ordered to send a large
proportion of his command to
defend the Capital.

PATRIOTISM.

'Tis not a local spot of earth,
That, in the patriots breast, has worth.
'Tis not section--East or West,

No. It's his country, as a whole,
That claims allegiance of his soul!
And what's a country? lis not land,
With cline either stern or bland.
Il Is rot hills. Wales. streams, and trees,
But OF far greater worth than these.
1t is a peoples aggregate;
A common weal-of low and great;
A nationl based on human claims
To life, 10 freedom. and to AIMS
For harmless happiness for ali
Unchecked 10y tyranny and thrall.
It's where just laws Ger all preside;
Where arts and sciences abide;
Where every one. by honest toll,
May see around his homestead smile.
'Tis where the pulpit, press, ard school

4 JUST TRIBUTE.

The Louisville Journal well
says:
"There is no man in the nation
to whom Kentucky owes at this
moment a larger debt of gratitude
than to Gov. Morton, Of Indiana.
For many months past, indeed
from the first hour when she was
threatened with danger, he has
watched diligently every move
ment that seemed to have refer
eace to her, taking exceeding
pains and expending considerable
sums of money and diSpatching
agents in all directions to obtain
the best and earliest information
in regard to all that concerned
her, and, since her actual invasion
by the ConfederateS, ne has ex
hibited wonderful activity and
energy In sending troops to her
aid, aud adopting measures to
raise more to be sent hereafter.
Gov. Morton has military
eye and a military soul, and Ken
tucky is indebted to him Tor a
large portion of the measure cl
safety she enjoys. She is under
an obligation to him that she will
rever forget. 1t has been well,
that, having virtually no Cover
nor OF her own, she could find so
invaluable a friend in the Cover
nor Of neighboring State.'

had finished. While Gen. Nc
Clellan at Washington, even with
the aid afforded by the President,
and the War Department, finds it
necessary to deny himself TO near
ly every civilian who calls on
him, some allowance should be
made to Gen. Fremont, when he
gives over eighteen hours per day
to the country.
He looks older ard more care
worn .han when we last met him,
three months ago, just after his
return from Europe. Ills wife,
who assists him in a thousand
ways, examining voluminOus
documents, acting as secretary,
&C., doeanot seem to have chan
ged in the slightest degree since
1856. when her vigor and energy
were so we'll known and so uni
versally conceded, both by friend
and foe.
His proposed military move
ment we can not allude to. They
will be like himself, bold. We
only regret that the ordering East
of so many Western troops. even
from west Of the Mississippi, has
lett his force weaker in numbers
than is generally supposed.
The principles of his famous
proclamation, so enthusiastically
Endorsed as they were throughout
the North, he still believes were
based upon the truest and wisest
policy. They have been modifi-
ed by the President, to whom, of
course, as his superior officer, he
delerS; but we think he still be-
lieves with Andy Johnson, that a
man who is a traitor in arms has
no right to own any thing.
The arrest of Colonel Frank
Blair, which will cause so much
surprise throughout the country,
Is, OF course, a military arrest, not
involving Imprisonment, but SuS-
pending his military duties during
trial. The charge is insubordi-
nation. OF all the details we are
not advised; and hence, warmly a
friend, as our readers know, OF
both sides, very gladly suspend an
opiniCu until the evidence be =
comes public. We can say,
however, that while we regard
Frank Blair as among the bravest
OF men, we believe with the St.
Louis Democrat, whose political
devotion to Col. Blair'S interests
Is so widely Known, that the
Pathfinder IS the right NAN in
the right place, and should be
cordially and Loyalty sustained in
his difficult duties with all our
hearts and by all our hands.
Gen. Fremont, we should have
added, has not, so far as we
know, indicated any intention of
resigning. He may, OF course,
at any moment, be superseded;
bat this we do not consider at all
probable.

a VISIT TO GEN. FREMONT.

From SCHUYLER Colfax's paper, South
Bend Register, 18th ult.
Just before going to press, we
have returned from a visit to St.
Louis, the headquarters OF the
Military Department OF the West
Of which Gen. Fremont is the
Major General commanding.
This Generals quarters are in
a beautiful building on Chouteau
avenue, owned by Mrs. Brant, "a
cousin OF Mrs. F'remont,) and
rendered by her for his use. Here
are arranged ali the vast plans for
the occupation OF Memphis, the
restoration OF the Tree navigation
OF the Mississippi, the second
victory OF New Orleans, the re
annexation Of Texas. and the de-
Iiyeaace Of Missouri from. the
Rebel armies thst have invaded
It's soil from Tennessee and Ar
kansas, aiding It's owl traitors in
their work OF destruction. Here,
too, reside his family and part OF
his staff; and It's rooms are con.
verted into business offices, tele-
rr9ph office. e.. while SentlnelS
guard its gates, and the starry
banner OF beauty and glory waves
over all, by night and by day.
AS to the barricades,' and the
alleged 'inaccessibility' OF Gen.
Fremont, it is but simple Justice
to him to say, that the pressure
for personal interviews with him
has been unparalleled; were the
DAYS an hundred hours long he
could not have complied with
them. Overtasked as his secreta-
RES have been, it is possible, and
quite probable, that some have
6een excluded who ought to have
been admitted, although every
communication IN wrifinq has
passed under his eve. When
Gen. Fremont saw that this dis
elimination bad provoked so
much cenSure, he endeavored to
satisfy these demands on HIM. ii
possible, in a larger degree.
We will give one days expe-
rience that We happen to know
of. One committee consumed
over an hour, an individual three
quarters eli an hour, and 50 on
through the day. That night he
worked till after midnight, exam
ming the daily reports he requires
from his subordlnates, civil and
military, ordering movements OF
troops, and all the numberleSs
d tails required OF the head OF a
military department.
The next morning ; 6re, he
was again at work; a0d when we
breakiasted with him at len, he
excused himself for the lateness
ofthe hour at which he had invi-
ted us, by alluding to the pressure
OF business, and the fact that In
the earlier hours of the day he
was freer from interruption. AZ
ter these five hours of labor before
breakfast he partook of spare
meal of corn bread, beef steak and
tea, and was called back to his
Office long before the rest Of US

description of the affair in the

"The battle had ragged but 20
minutes when our gallant General
was very painfully wounded in
the right arm, the ball entering
near the elbow and passing out
near the wrist, without breaking
a bone. We retired him short
distance under the hill, and had
the wound dressed by Surgeon
Gleaves, and in ten minutes he
was again moving along our lines
encouraging his men by his pres
ence and his voice. At later
stage of the fight MIME ball
tore through the lapel OF his coat
and another through the cantle of
his saddle. Indeed, it is the
wonder OF all how he escaped
death. None but his Staff and
Surgeon knew be was wounded
until the close of the fight. He
is now suffering much pain"
