entered one of the saloons which render that

of the lady of the house concerning her hus-
band. The landlady not exactly relishing
the style CT her interrogation, questioned her
pretty sharply in relation to her business with
hor liege lord, and not receiving satisfactory
answers, pitched into her in style more
forcible than eloquent, and cleared the house
in marvelously short space Of time. We

could be captured, with all his baggage and
plumber. The objection to this that may
be urged-that there was no transportation
is an iilsonc. The railroad and the river
were at command, ard the march from Soda
LA was only As miles long. The force could,
Gen. Hunter supposed, be thrown into Lex
ington by Thursday, and, as it appears, be-
fore it was taken.
Gen. Fremont ordered Sturgis in North Mis-
souri, to Lexington, and by crossing the river
to reinforce Mulligan. Sturgis had only Il
100 men, and on reaching the river opposite
the town, found it commanded by Price, and
of course was compelled to fall bsck. Hun
ters plan Of moving these troops was to
strike the river at Il point below Lexington
n our control, to cross il, and march upon

mont, the question was asked, whether any
orders had been given to reinforce Mulligan,
and the reply being in the negative, Gen.
| Hunter suggested orders to Sturgis; and,
had the order then been given by telegraph,
he would have reached the river before Price
| had taken possession of the north bank and
could have crossed. The order was not Civ
en- until three Gays after this Interview. The
! loss Of time was fatal.
| Muliigan was ordered from Jefferson City
then garrisoned with 5000 troops, with only
one reg iment, and with that to hold Lexing
ton until he could be relieved. When Lex
ington fell, Price had under his command
20 900 men, and his force was receiving
daily augmontations from the disaffected in
the State. He was permitted to gather
much plumber, and to fall back towards AR
kansas unmolested, until vas at Upton or
the 18th of October, when tne accounts were
that he was crossing the Usage.
Gen. Hunter expressed to the Secretary o
War his decided opinion that Gen. Frcnaon
was incompetent, and unfit for his EXTENSIVE
and important command. This opinion h
gave reluctantly. for the reason that he belt
tee position of second in command.
i The opinion entertained by gentlemen
position and intelligence, who have ap
preached and observed him is, that he i

guns. He had given the men orders to file
down the nipples. In conversation with Col.
! Swords, Assistant Quarterinaster General at
Louisville, Just from California, he stated that
| Mr. Selover who was in Europe with Gen.
| Fremont, wrote to some friend in San Fran
cisco that his share of the profits of the pur
! chase of these arms was $50, 00O
When Gen. Hunter received, at Jefferson
City, orders to march to Upton, he was di-
rected to take Al wagons with him, when he
had only 40 mules, which fact had been duly
reported to headquarters. AT this time, Col
Stevenson, Of the 7th Missouri regiment, was,
without Gen. Hunters knowledge, taken from
him, leaving him, when under marching Or
ders, with only one regiment at jefferson City
| fit to take the field.
Gen. Hunter also showed me the order for
marching to Durock Ferry, dated at Upton,
Oct. 10, which he did not receive until the
18th. Exhibit No. 100 He also showed me
his reply, proving that it was impossible for
him to comply with the order to march,
Exhibit No. ll) This order was changed
to one requiring him to make singl. day
march. (Exhioit No. 12)
When Gen. Pope received his order to
march to Georgetown, % miles distant, he
wrote back to Gen. Hunter a letter which I
read. 1t set forth the utter impossibihty of
his moving for the want of transportation ane,
supplies, and asking whether Gen. Fremont
could mean what he had written.
All of the foregoing facts go to show the
want of military foresight on the part Of Gen
Fremont in directing the necessary means for
, putting into, and maintaining in the field, the
forces under his command.
Gen. Hunter also stated that although the
, second in command, he never was consulted
by Gen. Fremont, and never knew anything

AFFAIRS IN ARKANSAS.


Governor Rector, of Arkansas, in his recent
message TO tho Legislature, bitterly laments
the devastating influence of tho war. With
reference 10 the Uuion feeling in that state, he
avs
more treason turks in Arkansas, under the
Rarb Of patriotism, than most men conceive of.
Libellous traduction of its authorities, gloating-
ly sought Tor, and swallowed by snarling cor
morants Of newspaper filth, well attest this
fact
The financial condition Of the state Is repre-
sentCd in no favorable light The treasury, he
says, is empty, the state in debt, and the war
tax, which amounts to two per cent, cannot BE-
collected. and is a source Of embarrassment t.
the authorities. lie adds
Upon failure to pay, the property may be
distrained, exposed to sale, and for the want of
bidders, knocked off TO tho state or Confederate
Government a. the case may lie. This brings
no oney, but encumbers tho Government with
useless property including premature bank
ruptcy and decay, state and national"
This is another evidence of the bitter fruit of
secession, acknowledged by high secession au-
thority. But this is not all. The Governor
proposes 10 seize one million acres of land grant
cd by Congress in 1858, to the Cairo and Fulton
Railroad Company, on tho protext, that as the
company failed to fulfill its obligations, tho land
reverts to the state. 1t may, according to rebel
law, but in strict justice 1t would revert to the
United States, and no doubt will.
