"FREMoxr AND THE UNION."-This was the
battle cry OF Fremonts body guard, who num-
bering only 800 under the intrepid Major Zagoni,
drove 200 of the rebel forces from Springfield,
With heavy loss. This victory, and the one At
Fredericktown, where the army Of JEFF. Thomp
son were defeated with an inferior force, show
that Fremont is meeting all that was expected Of
him. After the defeat on the Potomac, Govern
ment will hardly dare remove Fremont while in
the full tide OF success. So far, the troops Of
Western Virginia and Missouri. have never failed
