General Fremonl-Ris Removal.


Under the circumstances, the removal of
General Fremont, which, according to the
dispatches of to day, has taken place, will
produce a deep sensation throughout the
country. Whatever may be his want of
qualifications for the place to which be was
appointed, they are no justification of the
course which has been pursued toward him
by the Administration. Disqualification is
no excuse for proceedings which are in
tended to disgrace and humiliate; and the
treatment to which General Fremont has
been subjected will do more to ALLEVIATE the
people from the Administration, and render
them Indifferent to the cause, than any event
that has occurred.
Whatever may be the military abilities of
General Fremont-and of these we have
never had an exalted opinion-he has, so far
as the public is aware, on all occasions con-
Quoted himself honorably. If he has not
done very WELL it is not proved that he has
done willfully wrong. If he has not ex-
hibted the qualities of great General, he
has not had an opportunity to show that he
does not possess them and we do not won
der that his subordinate officers were willing
to lay down their commissions when the Or
der came by which he was not only super
seded, but, as far as the Government was
able TO do it, disgraced.
Had General Fremont been an officer of
the regular army, and had our regular army
possessed the esprit du corps which is charac-
teristic of the soldiery of warike nations,
not one officer in it would retain his COM
mission until tomorrow. But we have no
army. In its rank and file, oar army is,
upon good authority, mob; and in its Off
GERS it is an anarchy. Faction is obliterat-
irg that sense of honor which to cherish has
always been thought the peculiar duty Of
the military gentleman; and administrative
incompetency is doing all it can to awaken
and keep alive the factionary spirit. What
we are coming to it is difficult precisely tc
guess; but there is enough in the present tc
excite for the future the graVest appre
tensions.
