State hold Lane in more dread than they do all our
other commanders combined. He is very raw head
and bloody bones TO them. They also regard Sigel
with wholesome terror. Sigel is unquestionably an
admirable officer; and it is 10 be hoped that in the
revolutions of this unfortunate department he will be

ability and fidelity.
RoLIA, Phelps Co, No, Wednesday Nov. 70. 1861.
Upon the withdrawal of the army from Spring
field, the O Bohemian Brigade" made a mastery nd
vance upon this point, the nearest railway station,
leaving two of its members behind, in the popular
phrase to fight NIT Sige," until tie rear comes
up. Gen. Hunter was at Warfaw, Benton County,
last night. The announcement that Gen. Halleck
has been appointed TO take charge Of this DeTaii-
ment is quite a surprise 10 many OF Gen Hunter
friends, who were sangune that he would remain
permanently in command In any event, an I'M
poltant position will doubtless he assigned him.
Gen. Halleck, it is hoped, will come here wholly
without partisan feeling in regard to the divisions
which have proved so injurious to this Department,
and hold himself altogether aloof from the bitter
feeling they have left behind. In this respect he
has decided advantage over Gen. Hunter, who,
though Gen. Thomas report had unfortunately be-
come involved in the conflict. He was greatly cha
.,rnod that the Government should give publicity TO
q conversation which he regarded as confidential
Some of the enemies Of Gen. Fremont, III their
bitter disappontient that he relinqushed his COM
mand so promptly and gracefully that even the most
cautious can find in il nothing TO critcse, still con-
tnue the malignant warfare they have waged against
him. Their latest charge, that there was corrupt
conspiracy among the gentlemen of the press accom-
nanvnc bis command 10 misiaie the facts is too pu-
Grille for any extended notice. There were of course
TWO parties on the Fremont question, in camp as
well as elsewhere; and the newspaper correspond
ents who accompanied the army were about equally
divided in their sympathies But it is truth which no
ingenuity can disprove, that at the time Gen. FIRE.

of us; that one party Of them came, the same night,
within two miles Of our camp and another fired
upon our pickets; that the news OF Fremonts re-
moval caused very bitter and general dissatisfaction
in camp, which even his acquiescence would have
famed into active mutiny; and that, for the last day
and half before Gen. Hunter assumed command,
Gen. Fremont and the subordinate officers and TROOPS
were in constant expectation of an attack.
But all these things are Of the past only allude

down the Pathfinder, even after bis removal. why
can they not let the matter rest, and forget the I'M

cause which has suffered from il. Gen. Fremont is
removed and are they not satisfied? His conduct
will doubtless receive official investigation, and then
the whole country will be able to judge of the case
