Fremont las siqnDzy 3.e- Jused to enter eato dse negro trade. As the shortest way of manag ing contraband negroes, he turns them loose to shift for themselves, lie dent undertake to sell them for the benefit q the United States, or feed them at the ex- Pense Of the government.

The reason assigned was that they owned property in Vir- glnla, which would be confscated unless they reswned to Richmond and remained residents of Inc rebel States.

 The President and Secretary Of State have in receipt a number of petitions from New York and Philadelphia, calling for the expulsion of W. H. Russell, the Times correspondent, on the ground that he is public enemy who should not be tolerated in this crisis of our affairs. The fact that his false facts and falser inerences are accepted as gospel by the entire press of Eng land, and that through them the anti-Unon feel ing on the continent is strengthened, makes his presence here public misfortune.
 President Fairfield of Hilisdale College, Mich agan, is reported to have said that during 8 re- cent conversation with General Casa, the Gene raj said that although he had always been here tofore opposed to abolition, yet this was now the only way to successfully and permanently end the contest.

 The HDi Vernon Phalanx," an contemplating and charming company of young Indies, at Pitts field, Mass. was recently disbaudcd by G;scn- sions among the officers, resulting from remark; ed attentions paid to in the ranks by pre- possessing young gentlemen, who ought to have looked higher. At several tea-Gghts, in the viii iage where the ptaanx was quarterHG!, it seems that not only cap but hair pulling was the order of the day, and of course military Crsanza- tion can exist where such practices prevail. The unfortunate dcmoraIizaton of the whole body is reported as being greater than that oi our troops at Bull Run.

 DAAFTlSa.-1I IS salQ tn6C military officers urge the government to make draft to fill the regular army. This army was increased by the last session of Congress by an addition of B 900 men, and these are the men it is found difficult to raise. More would enlist in the cities but there are scoundrels there, paid by other more sneaking scoundres somewhere who infest the recruiting stations and persuade men by false hood and sometimes by money even, not to en- list.-Thousands are ready to enter the volun- teer service. We hope a draft will not be neces- sary, but those twenty three regiments must be raised. They ought to be under instruction now.
