promptitude with which the War Depart

the energy with which the war is prose-

hour that a request for sixteen 2-inch
field-guns was received from St. Louis,
the carriages for them began to move
from Maine, and the guns from Pittsburg.
The entire order arrived in St. Louis in
fifty-one hours,

WHAT Is DUE TO GEN. FREMoNT,-
And the Government owes it to Gen. Ere
mont TO see that lie is properly supported
It is said that his movements have been
repeatedly embarrassed by the withdrawal
of troops from his department just as he
had arranged his plans to strike crush
mo blow at the rebellion in Missouri The
life of the brave Gen. Lyon was sacrificed
in consequence. More recently move
ment of great importance had been ar
ranged, when a peremptory order came
from Washington to send forward five
thousand men, well armed, and it became
necessary to abandon the expedition. We
hear reports also. that Gen. Fremont has
been hampered in other ways. This IS
not right. The government owes 1t to a
commanding officer who has charge OF a
department so important, and OF military
movements of so much consequence, to
rive him men and materials in abundance,
and to refrain from disarranging his pian'
by drafts which should be filled from 9th
or sources.-BoSton Journal.

The Provost MarshaI's Court of Alexandra
has made decision to day which will gladden.
the hearts OF our Northern merchants. The
substance OF the decision ia, that our brethren of
Dixie must pay their debts. The question came
up at the Court to-day, Assistant Adjutant. Gem
eral Brcese of General Montgomery's Staff presi-
ding, One Of our Broadway merchants complain.
ed that an Alexandria dealer had possession of
his goods, and would niether pay for them nor
return them. The Alexandrian was brought up
forthwith, and undertook 20 plead some Of the
Old Virginia stay laws. The Provost Judge
"cculd'nt sec 1t" in that light, and decided the
case by snmmarily ordering Provost Marshal
Griihs to take possession OF the property, aid
TO return TO the original owner such portions as
he could identify. Provost Marshal Griiiitbs has
therefore iu his possession about $4,000 worth
of Northern goods, mainly belonging to New
York merchants, which goods are in the stores
OF Alexandria, which stores are locked with keys,
which are in the possession of the aforesaid
Marshal. Tho same summary justice is dealt
out to the liquor dealers who are shown to have
had any hand in the nebriation of recruits.
