n r'e arm passed through Necsho
on Wednesday. and Is probably al Cass-
vile to-day. We have no Information az
vet as to bis movements after reaching
there. McCulloch's force, or at least a
sorti5n of il. is at Crane Greek. % miles
southwest. from this point. The exact
force IS not as vet asCertaIned. II Is
moving slowly towards Us. Il is not
known whether McCulloch is with this
band.
Gems. Lanes and Sturgis's command
arrived here last night aftea a forced
march Of thirty-fve miles. Gen. Me
Kinstry eDcampod at Bolivar last night
and should be here this evening or ia the
morning.
General Fremont received this fore
noon an official notification Of his removal
from the command Of the Western De-
partment. The Body Guard is now un-
der marching orders, and will probably
leave with the General for ST. LOuis some
time between now aud nightfaI.
The General. to all appearances, has
taken tho news with his usual Cslmness
and self-pessessiOn. The fact Of the re-
ception Of the news is not generally known
a S vet. even among the staff, the larger
portion Of whom would probably leave
with him, were they aware OF II.
Whatever may be the opinion IN regard
to Gen. Fremont's military ability, none
can but acknowledge the fact that his re-
movaI at this time, when within a few
DAYS march Of the enemy, viii be q So

but j, bebooves oil good and loyal citizens
10 bow TO the decision Of the powers that
be, and by giving their hearty support to
his successor, repair this injury 10 the
extent Of their powers.
Gen. Hunter, who is to succeed Gen,
Fremont, is well known as q veteran
officer Of great ability and executive ca
pacity. Gen. III. has not as yet arrived,
but will doubtless be here ere many hours.
Gen Sigel viii probably assume the
command until his arrival, being the sen
Tor Brigadier-G General attached to this
army.

well armed, and one artillery company
composed Of Germans from Memphis, II
very effective, they have one thirty-twt

Louis by Wednesday.
On last evening a printed document wa
issued, and gave the first official announce
inent TO the troops of the fact Of his re
moval from the command Of this Depart
ment
1t created the most profound sensation
and upon hearing it. several comPanie
threw down their arms, bat subsequent
returned TO duty. Some fears arc enter
tanned Of trouble among tue troops, but
think there is no danger Of open mutiny
though 1t cannot be concealed that th
feeling is intense.
