: y This is too obvious to be disputed-if Mr.
Fremont can alter the relations and chance the
status OF the "slave. he alter the relations and
change the status Of the t'rebe' master-if he can
make the negro free man, he can make the white
man slave. Las it, then, come to this that the
native born, free American can be stripped of all
the rights which God and nature as well az the laws
OF his State and country give him, at the bidding
OF military desp0t? No, indeed. General Free
monts proclamation in respect to negro "freedon"
IS mere brutum fulnen, with neither law, religion
truth nor common sense in it, and thousand pro.
CARNATIONS OF the kind cannot free single slaye"
lie may, it is true, take negroes from their rebel
masters and send them to Massachusetts, where
they will be received with open arms, of course;
but be cannot strike down the social order or
alter the legal status of a single negro in Mis-
souri,. But what will the white wOrknr-men
mechanics and farmers of Fremonts army think
OF this anti-socisl warare-this effort to de-
grade them into Impartial freedom" with the sooty
and subordinate negro, which, could it be success
fu, would debauch and destroy society, and render
the liberty of the white man impossible? True
the educated" and non-prnductiye classes the
preachers, lawyers, bankers and sreculators might
get along with negro ''freedOm,' in gland and
other monarches, but the rkng- men, those who,
in such case, would alone suffer by it, had better
perish by the sword, pestence, famine or any con-
ceivable calamities, rather than be poisoned by
negro freedom" or rather than their manhood
should be degraded and their liberty debauched and
destroyed by sharing it with the sooty and semi
animalized African In conclusion, we can onlv
express our belief that General Fremont has acted
without orders on the part of the Administration
Tor surely they cannot be so utterly demented as
thus to outrage the selfrespec well as the sense
OF social safety of the people of the Border States
A PICTURESQUE CaSTRAsr-How different the
paraphernalia of the two armies, North and South
Their men are all clad in gay uniorms their horses
richly caparisoned their wagons built after the |
most approved patterns, for the express purpose of
transporting their army supplies; their ambuances
as perfect as skill and money make them; their
artillery the best and most effective that can be
oought; their rifles from the most approved manu-
tacturers OF Europe, while the quarters of their Of
hcers abound with the choicest wines and liquors
ana the richest and most costly viands. One might
suppose they were out on gala excursion, and no |
doubt thousands have Joined them attracted bv |
their line trappogs We need no such inducement |
to swell our numbers
Oar men are dressed in service uniforms made |
from the coarsest cloth; only simple braid de- |
notes the uniform. Their wagons are of all sizes |
coors, and descriptions, gathered from the neigh
porlDg farmers, picked up here and there when
they can be found and paid for or received as
glIts as the case may be. Our supplies for the |
wounded consist of sundry parcels, and bundles
and boxes, prepared BY the hands of love- MANY
A matron has taken her bed linen and torn it into
strips for bandages, while fair hands have toied
early and late to prepare the lint which was re.
CURED, cOnsecrating it oftentimes with tears and
baptizing it with prayers for the safety of the
loved and the triumph of our arms. Nor is this con-
trast less in artillery and rifles Some whole COM
panles have been formed who have been compelled
to gather up the guns from the neighboring plant
ers. Sportsmen must forget their pursuits and
orego the excitements of tie chase for their guns
are needed for other purposes than hunting game:
and our officers, how many of them are sharing
the prlvatiOns of their men, like them sleaninp m |
the ground and sharing soldiers coarsest fare,
forgetting the Injuries and refreshments of the
home to which they have ever been accustomed,
and adopting the hardships of the camp with a
aye, enthusiasm, as they look forward
With hope to the fruits of their toll and hardship
