rather gloomy for anything like fair sup

THE CHANCES IN MISSOURI.
The soGcitudc with which the country
is locking to Missouri is cqualled only by
thai with which they arc accustomed to
regard the milit=ry movements on the Po-
tcmac. Not mail arrives here that docs
no. contain letters to us, who are in po-
sition 10 know the strength Of our forces
anu tie estimated number Of the enemy,
entr.a:ing information about the probabil
tiles Ct F1emont's success. We answer
frsrls'y and publicly, all inquiries that We
Lave received and those now on their
way;
We are by no means sanguine that the
rebels will be driven out Of the State,
though they ought to be beaten in pitched
battle, admitting even their alleged superb
ori:y III numbers. Our army, which has
bteh shockingly neglected aud uaaltreated,
Is made up Of as brave men and as good
fighting material as can be gathered on
this Continent; but it is :mperfectly
armed, poorly equipped, and many Of the
regiments are undisciplmed. The supply
Of artillery is not what it should he, and Of
effective cavalry it has but little. The
meass Of transportation are limited, and
not likely to be Immediately increased.
Bu: our troops arc full Of vigor, and though
fully informed Of the defects which are
chargeable to headquarters, there is not a
man among them, We believe, who would
not rather die in his tracks than endure
defeat by that rebel horde. We are will
ing to take it for granted that when the
fight comes of the enemy Will be routed
but We know that The army lacks that OF
ganizAtlon, discipline and material which
are necessary to make the most Of its prob
able successes. Gen. Fremont is untried
and nc one knows how ably he will lead
His advisers are bad, but we hear that he
vii not listen alone to them. His reputa
lion is at. stake, and he must win or e
down The exigency will have one 0
two efects-impel him to rash or fatal acts
o. throw him more under the influence O
men who are competent to advise and in
struct him-we hope and believe the latter
By patiently waiting, outstanding hls re
sources, inspiring and disciplining Iii
men, he may and probably will be able t
Etrike blow that will cheer every patrlo
heart in the land.
Such is the opinion, based on facts d
hey exist to-day It presupposcs that th
toSernment at Washington will do its dr
V-caa 10 more men from the West, pa
up the troops, arm them as rapidly and C
fectvely as possible in word, do for thi
Department what it is doing for that of II,
Potomac.

Col Marshall with gross cowardice in that
battle. We unhesitalingly state that we saw
Il1hirg in Col. Marshall's conduct justifging

it necessary that every man and officer should
keep himself under cover from the enemY'a
fire except when imperative duty required
him to move from point to point, aud VIC be-
ckyer most Of the time.
The published statements charge Col. Mar
shall with seeking safety in different ways and
III different parts Of the ground. IT this be
true, he must have exposed himself more o.

We further State, that when We met Col
Marfba]l, during the engagement, he showed
10 particular signs Of fear OF trepidation, bu1
appeared as cool and collected as the officers
q sue1slly did.
