to the st. Louis Republican dated at Head
quarters, Camp Lyon, Springfield, Oct. 81 lst
Good deal of excitement has prevailed in
camp for some days past, respecting tho re-
port of Fremonts supercession, but Wash
ington advices at headquarters mention
nothing of the kind. Fremont's remova
would cause intense excitement, and sus
pect no little trouble in camp. A number
Of officers declare they would resign in that
event, or insist on creating him Dictator oi
the southwest, independent Of the Admin
istration which is bitterly denounced in
camp for its vacilating and injudicious pol
icy respecting this Department.
The list of rebels killed in the battle Of
Friday last, now numbers 1877.
