From Tie 81 Laga RepHblicdR, Sept 20.
We believe that no will, thoroughly and finally.
But we are not among those who think tina. success
is the only merit, that failure rs conclusive evil
denee of mcapacity. We desire here TO put on rec
ord that Gen Fremont deserves and victory,
whether he obtains them or not. He has done all
that human energy could accomplish, under c.rcum.
stances OF the utmost difficulty aud embarrassment.
He has already iu orlsIripped, In energy and gem
eralship all his military competitors OF the day. We
do not speak ignorantly, for we know what was the
condition OF things in this Department when he took
the command and what II ID now, and the difficulties
under which the change has been effected In these
two months since the dsgraceful defeat at Bull Ran,
which had thrown its dark shadow over the whole
country, he has done n llescuean work, enough, of
itself, to make the reputation Of any mar living
He found the city absolutely deienseess-Seces-
sion rampant and ubilant, Secessionists organized
and full of courage, and the Union men cherries,
without organization, almost afraid TO speak, and
quite afraid 10 act. They had efficient head, and
no plan Of action. 4 considerable number Of their

The report in the afternoon dispatches of the re-
mOval Of Maj -Gen. Fremont has created intense in.
dignaiion among the mass Of UDionists, and great
rejoicing among the Secessionists.
The recruiting rendezvous for an Irish regiment
was closed on the receipt of the news, and meeting
in the Second Ward this evening, for the formation
of Home Guard adjourned without action.
A gentleman who visited Benton Barracks this az
ternoon reports that the greatest excitement exists
there among the troops amounting almost 10 mutiny.
A mass meeting is called for Saturday for an ex-
preston of opinion relative TO the removal OF Gen.

JEFFERSON CITY, Thursday, Oct g. le6L
Gentlemen who have arrived this evening from
Sedaa confirm the report of the execution Of Lex
ngton by the Rebels, and also bring intelligence Of
the probable occupation of that place by General
Surges
Major Baker, Of the Home Guards, who was among
the prisoners taken at Lexington, and who refused
to give bis parole escaped from the Rebels on Mon
day night, and arrived at Sedala this morning. He
SAYS that all the Confederates left Lexington on
Monday afternoon and thar their rear-guard as it
left was fred upon with shells by Gen. Sturges, who
Just then appeared the opposite side CT the ryer
Several were wounded by the shells.
When they first lef; Lexington, Major Baker thinks
il was the intention Of General Price TO march direct
On Georgetown, bu; information having beenbrought
10 him that Gen. Sigel was advancing with 10000
men lie moved westward toward Independence.
Whether the main body Of the rebels pursued this
route any distance Major Baker is unaware, as dur
ing the confusion among the rebels upon the recep-
ton Of the news of the large force Of Sige and the
reported pursuit by Sturges in the rear ne (Baherl
escaped.
Mai Baker thinks Gen. Prices effective force will
number about % 600 men, in addition TO which he
has about 1900 irregular troops, whose principal
occupation is foragng, bot this portion Of the army
had pretty much LETT the main body before MAJ. Ba-
keT escaped.
Gen. Sigel. who Is in command Of orr advance
guard, bad all his preparations made for an attack
las. night, and Rad the enemy made his appearance
he would have met with warm reception.
Orr forces are mostly stationed at Otteyille, Sc
dslia, and Georgetown. The distance from 0ueyillc
TO Sedalia is twelve miles and from Sedalia to
Georgetown four miles. We have also something Of
force under Cen Pape q; Bonneville, only twenty
five miles northeast Of Sedala.

GEN. FREMONT AND HIS TRADUCERs.

IHs 81 Louis hfIaofisdIi
The malignant and wicked personal warfare being
waged against Gen Fremont just a. he Is taking the
tld, lie evidently Designed 20 destroy NJ by impair
ing his public credit the representative OF the Gov
erument IN this department, by weakening the ialth
Of his army in It's commanding General ana by BRING
ING aganst him the most Uniocnded ana slanderous
CHARGES 20 ruin him in the confidence Of the people.
As an illustration of the aDimus of these charges we
NAV state that citizen Of 81. Louis, who Is now en-
deavOuring TO procure signatures 20 statement That
Lyon was needessly sacrificed by Gen. Fremont, as
serted few week. ago that he was thoroughly con-
yerfant with the matter, and that the charge was a
wanion and baseless Islander upon Gen. Fremont.
Another imtance Of the utter groupdess charges
against him is the statement that he has involved
tie Government in Express expenditures for the
Transportation Of guns etc, amounting TO S5UUUOO,
when the truth s that all the Express bills ne has
incurred do not reach 100000. We cite these simply
as illustrations, Tor no one can meet IN detail the
myriad,Ongued SANDERS which are being circulated
against Gen. Fremont, and which whenever
! they nre refuted, rise again IN some other
of their protean forms. just now, the tee-
graph brings us complaints from Washington
OF the high prices paid for arms. Before Gen. Ere
mont left New-York, he procured from the Govern
ment full arms for seven thousand men; out after
| Manassas, those arms were diverted 10 Washington,
and have never been replaced. To this day he has
never received from the Government any arms ex-
cept a few heavy guns. He was preparing raw
army for the field, TO meet pressing emergencies and
the very exigencies Of the compelled him TO pro-
cure arms in small quantities, wherever he could
find them either in this city or elsewhere. OF
course he unable, purchasing in this manner, to
procure az favorable terms as the Government could
in heavy contracts with the manufacturers; aud ii
the safety Of ST. Louis, of Cairo, and Paducah,
were Of less Importance than few dollars in the
price Of guns and revovers then these charges are
Just, aud Gen. Fremont was wrong. Even now,
finding il utterly impossible TO obtain arms from the
Government for his cavalry, be is having lanCes and
pixies manufactured for them by the mechanics OF
st. Louis and Cincinnati We cannot reasonably
hope that the present war can be conducted TO sue
cessful ISSUE If these energies used in endeavor
ing, from personal motives to embarrass and break
down our commanders which should be solely di
rected ogainst the enemies Of Republican Govern.

To strike at cause, as well as consequence.
