Ed, says: That upon charges made by Gel. Blair, Maj. Fremont has been ordered to re- port himself for trial by court martial.
 Gen. Wool, of Fortress Monroe, has been ordered to sapersede Gen. Fremont in the command of the west, and Gen. Mansfield has left for Fortress Monroe this afternoon to su- persede Wool. Gen. Wool has left the Fora tress and is on his way Westward.
 The rebels hereabouts are now acting on the defensive, fearing an assault from some quarter, where they are most available.
 Affairs along the Potomac are quiet. The rebels have number of masked battesics at all the principal points.
 At the Potomac Creek, eleven merchant vessels were fired upon by rebel battery, the shots however fell short.
 LOUISVILLE, Oct. 4.-Special appeals have been made to the young men of Louisville. Jefferson and the adjoining counties, every inducement IS offered, but the work goes on slowly. Patriotism, State pride, love of coun- try, and all the influences that urge men to gallant and glorious deeds are insufficient to wake them. Not 20 recruits from the Home Guards of this city are now in camp. The Journal thinks It very strange indeed.
 FROM WASHINGTON.
 WASHINGTON, Oct 3.--Gen Wool who was superseded by Mansfield has been assign ed to no other duty.
 fhOm MISSOURI.
 JEFFERSON CITY, Oct, 3.-Eighteen hun- dred rebels parted from the main body for Georgetown. They intend to make demon- strations in vast numbers upon Georgetown, Jefferson City and St. Louis, and feel confident of their ability to take them.
 The report of the removal. of Fremont has created intense indignation among the Union men. There is great rejoicing among the se- cessionists. A gentleman who visited Benton barracks this afternoon, reports the greatest excitement among tho troops, amounting al- most to mutiny.
 Gen. McKinsbry has been ordered to the de- partment of the Cumberland, in Kentucky.
 Dr. White of Mulligan's brigade, brings in- formation from Lexington to Monday night. Price left Lexington with the main body of his army, moving Southward, to effect junc- tion with McCulloch, and to give Fremont battle Price anticipates an easy victory over Fremont at this point. Then we will move to St. Louis, where 24,O0O Secessionists will welcome him with arms in their hands.

 A reliable despatch states that the Lincoln ties, in strong force, crossed the Potomac, at 0ccoquan, for the purpose of capturing one of our batteries. No particulars are given, but 1t is believed they will be cut off, as they don't know the precise location of our batte- ries.
