GENERAL FREMON1's CAsE.-We publish, on
the outside, synopsis of the charges against
General Fremont contained in the report Of
General Thomas. Also, the replies made IN
behalf Of General Fremont, in respect to two Of
the charges.
We have not happened to see any reply to
one charge in General Thomas report aud
which was also made some time since by Hon
Francis P. Blair, viz: that General Frtmon,
continued to circulate his original proclama,
ton in respect to the emancipation of slaves
after receiving the Presidents order to modify
1t. This is a very serious charge, because
whatever diversities of opinion there may bt
as to the policy of issuing the proclamation
originally, there can be none as to the duty OF
General Fremont as matter of military
subordination, to obey the order given by the
President for its modification. 1t may turn
out, however, that there is mistake as to the
fact OF General Fremont's subsequent circula.
ton of the original proclamation.

THE NAVAL EXPEDITION.

We have good reasons for believing that the
accounts in the New York papers greatly ex
aggerated the magnitude of the expedition
which left Hampton Roads last week. The
Rumber of ships is not more than half of what
has been represented, and we doubt If the num-
ber Of soldiers taken on board exceeded fifteen
thousand. If we are correct in this, no attack
can be intended upon New Orleans, or any other
place capable of a strong resistance, but only
such Judgement upon some part of the South
ern coast as may be made the base of future
operation.
The storm Of Friday night has excited great
uneasiness as to the safety of this feet, but as
storms come rom the leeward, this souherly
storm will hardly have reached the feet before
it has made a ls.iiDg unless destined 70. somt

PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION FRAUD-A SUPER
dous election fraud has been discovered in
Philadelphia The Inquirer Of Saturday morn
ing says:
The vote cast by our citizens now In the
military service of the country, instead of being
opened and recorded as soon as received, as
has been done In other counties in the State,
was kept from the public eye, and is now being
opened In presence Of four citizens, selected by
the Prothonotary of the Common Pleas OF the
county. This process was commenced on Mon
day, the 2lst Of October, and continued for five
days, when there was cessation for few
days.
At the adjournment the canvass Of this mill
tary vote indicated the election of Robert Ew-
ing by majority Of some seven hundred to a
thousand But almost Immediately after the
re.assembling of the canvassers forged return
was presented among the remaining packages,
which appears to overcome Mr. Ewings ma
jority and leave small majority for Mr..
Thompson. This paper purports to come from
Schimmelpfennig's regiment-a regiment raised
in Allegheny county.
This regiment cast nine hundred and twenty
two votes for city and county, officers. The
return professed to be from twelve companies
from Philadelphia while nine companies al
least belong to Allegheny. Some of these
companies voted for Allegheny county on
GERS and have actually made returns to Pitts
burp

RIVER NEws-We learn, from authority
which we have no reason to doubt that on
Friday night field battery attached to the
brigade of General Sickles, fired from the Ma.
ryIand shore on the steamer George Page, who
was at that timo lying in Quantico Greek, two
miles off, Two or three of the shells exploded
over her, and one struck her, causing speedy
scampering of her crew. 1t is not known what
damage she sustained, If any.
The rebel batteries on the opposite shore
(Virginia) Immediately returned the fire
throwing she'll and shot, which reached the
Maryland shore, but doing no damage.
We were told that on Saturday the rebels
opened new battery down the Potomac, or
the Virginia side, aud celebrated the occasion
by raising two mammoth rebel flags.

MILITARY SERVICES FROM ABRoAD.-As In the
days of the American revolution, the most dis
and lively sympathy for this country; and that
sympathy is not merely announced in words
but in thu profrer of their military services.
We now hear that the Count de Sayre. 6
lineal descendant of Count Rochambeau, ant
the Baron de Schonen, a descendant of Genc ra
Lafayette, have rendered their military ser
vices to the Government. The President hai
assured them that these will he accepted. We
may, therefore, expect soon to announce their
arrival.
They who do not know what Rochambeau
and Lafayette did in the army of the revolu
ton, have not read the history Of their country

Gg' The New York Tribune, of Friday, says,
in reapect to its publication Of the report of
General Thomas in relation TO affairs at the
West:
whether General Thomass report was
wholly untitled for publication, is point on
which we, at least, do not choose to offer an
opinion. 1t came to us. as that of Gen. Stone
did, published in the same paper, in regular
course from the War Department, with author
ity to give 1t to the-public through our col.
umns. 1t Is not for us to decide upon the fit
ness of official reports for publication. On that
point the Departments are quite able to Judge
for themselves, and we should not feel at lib
erty to reject either Gen. Thomas's or Gen.
Stones for any such reason"

CONTRABANDs.-Forty- y-five contrabands, all
able bodied young men, with the exception ot
one woman, were brought into Fortress Mon
roe, October 28. They came out of the Rap
pahannock in boats, which we're picked up by
the tug Rescue. Their story was, that they
escaped in order to avoid being sent to Rich
mond to be sold South.
On the next day, forty more contrabands
were brought in, who had escaped from Glou
cester, opposite Yorktown, where, according
to their reports, great desttution exists.
Congress, now about to assemble, will un
donbtedly make provision for the emigration
Of such of thes, contrabands as may choose t.

FINANCIAL.

In the money article Of the New York Trib'
u,,c Of last Friday, We find the following,
"The Bank Committee having In charge the
matter Of the third afty millions Of the National
loan have had several meetings, and, In an un-
official way. have had communication with the
Secretary Of the Treasury on the subject: No
decisive action, however, has been hal, but It
is understood that they are willing to assume
he ffty millions at opce, provided they can
have the optioh of<tAe stock authorized BY the
Loan act to be issued at per cent. at par
This loan could be placed at once, without am
Guilty, with foreign capitalists. at small com
mission. but the banks claim the option OF Ias-
| 'ng 1t on the ground that they nave taken 60
A. large load of Treasury notes, upon which
there Is no profit"
The New York bsnkr, as the world goes, may
be expected to take all they can get from the
Secretary Of the Treasury, or from any body
else. But Il does not strike us that those who
have taken one loan At the very high rate Of
interest of seven and tbree-tenths per cent,
have any particular ground to claim bonus
in the shape Of an option to take another hun
dred million loan at seven per cept. Interest, at
par. The New York Euening Post stated sew
eral days ago, that this hundred million loan,
of which Congress has fixed seven per cent. In
terest as the maximum, was offered to be taken
by foreign capitalists at six and q half per
,utum. And whether such an offer has actu.
ally been made, or not we believe that the
Government can borrow all 1t needs, not at
ak and half per cent, but at six per cent.
We are perfectly prepared for that dema
pogue clamor Of men who wish to fleece the
public under patriotic pretences, that 1t is bes
to negotiate our public loans at home, and no
to allow foreigners to participate in them. tt
say nothing of the doubt, whether 1t ia no
advisable to interest foreign capitalists In th
preservation of our Government, by allowir,
chem to become the takers of part of on

JAPAN. Late intelligence from Japan gives
promise that a change for the better has taken
place. The Rev. DR.. hepburn, of the Presby-
terian Board, writes that in recent convsrsa-
ton with Mr.. Harris, the United States com.
missioner, that gentleman said gradual change
is going on among the Dairmios in favor Of
foreigners, and that more than one half Of
them are in favor of foreign trade and inter-
course. The Rev. Mr.. Brown, missionary Of
the Dutch Reformed Church, in recent letter,
says:
see q great change here for the better.
Since November, 1859, have been at Yeddo
three times, spending week or ten days at a
time with Mr. Harris at the United States le
CATION, and was there last month During u
weeks stay rode not less than hundred
miles, in various directions, In and around the
city. But did not see a look, or a sign, or
hear word, from any one Of the thousands
whom we met on our excursions, indicating i'll
will or di.like of our presence. Even the com
mon appellation Tojin, (Chnese,) by which
foreigners are generally designated, was rarely
heard,
