How THE TROops Took lT-The news of Gen
eral Fremont's removal flew over the city and
OUT to the camps yesterday afternoon with
Lightning wings. We learn that at Camp Ben
ton the troops were much excited and ndulged
in the most threatening and mutinous Ian
guage, some declaring openly for Fremont at
all hazards, and that they would fight under
no other leader. So general and intense was
this EXPIRE :sion Of the soldiers, that the officers
wisely abstained from any remonstrance or in
reference, trusting TO better news and gentle
couusels after the flush Of indignation had
passed.
In the city. we learn also that several of the
recruiting offices where rapid enlistnents were
taking place, were al Cnce closed, applicants
swearing they would fight under nobody but
Fremont This wonderful attachment to the
man is observed everywhere in the department
of the West. Who could AL bic place in the

AT q great Union meeting at Hayesville,
Chester county, Pa, the following letter Of eX.
President Buchanan was read:
Whedtldnd, near lancaster. Pa, Sept. 2s, 1861.
DEAR SIR l have been bonored by your
kind invitation as chairman Of the appropriate
committee to attend ard address n Union meet
lug Of the citizens of Chester and Lancaster
counties. to be held at IiayCsvIia, on the first
Of October. This should gladly accept, pro-
creding. US IL does from q much valued portion
Of my old Congressional District, but advan.
cling years and the present state Of my health
render It impossible.
You correctly estimate the deep interest
which feel, in common with the citizens who
" i'll there be assembled, in the present cond ton
OF our country. This is, indeed, serious; but
our recent military reverses, so far from pro-
6ucing dependency in The minds of q loyal
and powerful people, will only animate them
to more mighty exertions, in sustaining war
which has become inevitable, by the assault of
the Confederate States upon Fort Sumter
For thi~ reason, were 1t possible for me 10 al

families, to voiun,e0r for the war, and Join the

nize their independence, which is entirely out
Of the question.
Better couucils may hereafter prevail, when
these people shall be convinced that the war
Is conducted, not for their conquest or subju-
Cation, but solely for the purpose of bringing
them back to their original petition in the
Union, without importing in the slightest degree
any Of their constitutional rights.
Whilst, therefore, we shall cordially hail
their return under our common aud glorious
flag, and welcome them as brothers, yet unit
that happy day shall arrive, 1t will be our duty
to support the President with all the men and
means at ,he command Of the country, in Wig
orous and successful prosecution OF the war.
Yours, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.

The London Times has scorching article on
the Governmental interference with the liberty
of the press in the United States. The New
York Commercial Advertiser thus retorts on the
Thunderer:
Let us refresh the Ifnes's menory little.
In 1S4s, John Mitchell published weekly
newspaper in Dublin, advocating the separa.
ton OF Ireland from Great Britain, and the up
roofing of the infamous system of landlordism
in the former. He also advocated resort to
physical force for that purpose, and for several
weeks so infamed the people of Ireland that
"rebelion" was on the eve of breaking out
On that occasion the Government, without any
application from grand jury" decided upon
stopping the circulation of The United Irish
men through the mails, and we think the Times
failed to utter the first word of disapproval
against such high.handed proceeding. If We
are not mistaken, the same was done with some
journals which were started in the same interest
after the demise OF Mr.. Mitchells But then it
was not "my bull that gored your OK" and
that makes all the difference in the world.

JUSTICE JOHNsoN's DECI SION ON THE
LlQUOB QUESTION.


LlQUOB QUESTION.
ssYesterday, Officer Beall discovered man
in one Of the public streets giving intoxicat-
ing drink to group of soldiers Upon the
confession OF the man, that the liquCr belonged
20 him, the officer arrested him and took him
before Justice johnson. who decided that Civ
iag liquor away in the public street was not
an offence, and therefore discharged the pris.
oner.
For Justice johnson, personally, we enter
ain the highest regard, and we have never
before had occasion to question or ccntrovort
bis legal decisions, but in this case, he has en-
rely misunderstood the law not nisconstrued
r. for IL bears but one construction, as will be
en- by referring TO the Act, which was passed
by the late extraordinary session Of Congress.
Here it is:
Be il enacted, de-. That It shall not be lawful
Tor any person in the District of Columbia to
sell, qire. or administer to any soldier or vol
cutesr N the service of the United States, or
,uy person wearing tho uniform of such sol
Ter or volunteer. any spirituous liquor or In
nNiSaiiug drink and every person offending
yaust the provisions of this act shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeGnor, and upon
conviction thereof, before magistrate or court
nviug criminal jurisdiction, shall be punished
Ly fine of twenty-five dollars or imprisonment
TOR Thirty days"
This wss the original Act, and the following
amendment wns passed, rs explanatory of 1t
AN ACT to uuend an act to prohibit the sale
of spirtucus liquors and Intoxicating drinks
ia the District of Columbia, In certain cases
Be Il enacted bv the Senate and House of Rep
resentdtiUes of tie United States Of Americd n
Congress assembled, That whenever any person
| hall be convicted of the offence described In
| the act entitled An ac' TO prohibit the sale Of
| syirituous liquors and intoxicating drinks IL
the District Of Columbia Ia certain cases. h"
shall be punished by q fine Of twenty dollars
CT imprisonment in the Jail Of Washington
| county, in the District OF Columbia, for the
| period Of thirty days.
Approved, August 3, 1861
Nothing can be more clear than this Act
there is no room for cavil, or for misconstruc'
ton its language is plain. and Its import OBJ
vlous. Tne legislators, in this case, had all the
lights OF temperance legislation before them
they understood the numerous modes of ova-
sio1. by which the object of similar laws had
been defeated, and they determined there
SHOULD be no means, however ingenious, of
,rndinq this, and SO they made it unlawful for
onv person 10 eel. Jue or administer the foul
! beverage
4 Now. II, men who was arrested by Officer
| "caii, gaze the liquor away-or il that was
uot enough, he " administered ii, and therefore
riolated the law, and should have suffered the
penalty.
We trust our excellent Justice will reverse
his decision, and thus, not only vindicste Tie
law. but save cur brave volunteers from The
disastrous effects OF the poisonous drinks with
which our city abounds.

THE SABBATH.


The Sabbath in Gen. Bauks's command is
kept with great exactitude. No business not
absolutely necessary is transacted, and in most
of tbe regiments, religious services are held ot
least once during the day. The only music by
the band is that adapted to the occasion.
The weather for the past three days has been
extremely hot mot at all adapted to the sea-
son but the nights are pleasantly cool. To-
night thunder storm is passing to the north.

FEMALE CANT FOLLOWERS TO NE EXPELLED.
The number of feminine campfollowers in
several Of the regiments has caused an order

impress Of degradation, not lee sened or modi-
fled by exposure to the sun.

QUEST OF KENTUCKY.

have the same STATE Of things in Kentucky that
they have in Missouri, if the Confederates have

GEN. ROSsEAU'S BRIGADE.
A correspondent of the Louisville Journal
writing from EIizabethtown, October 2, the
headquarters of Rosseau's Union Brigade, says
Now that the Rolling Fork bridge is rebuilt,
We may expect the others below US to be
speedily repaired. Work has already been
begun on the Nolin bridge. It is rumored that
the teams of country rebels in that vicinity
have been impressed into the service, and are
now doing duty in the way of hauling bridge
timbers. Col. Crittenden's regiment, the sixth
Indiana, has been thrown forward 10 cover the
workmen at the bridge The enemys pckets
are said to be at Bacon Creek some twelve
miles beyond Col. Crittenden. The latter
threw forward detachment as far as Upton's
Station yesterday. They met with no resist
ance. The enemy's horse are all through that
neighborhood, and it appears inevitable that
diminishing will begin very soon. According
to accounts received direct from Green River
bridge today, Buckner has only about fifteen
hundred men there. All the rest that were
brought up to .hat place have been sent of
down the river to the locks.
