No Talker.

By the following extract from Carlo
letter we judge that Gen. Fremont has been
putting veto on CAB in and about Carlo:
Gen. Fremont is gaining the respect and
good will of his soldiers in remarkable
degree. He is interchangeable in his eudeav
ors to make his division efficient, attends
personally to the minutest matters Of detail
and works day and night. Some of his best
officers say they never saw sach a hard
working man. He infuses his spirit into
his soldiers, and makes them work, too -
He appears to consider warfare as much a
business as any other pursuit, an opinion
that does not seen to have prevailed very
strongly around here. HIS field Of opera
tions is Birds Point, and he finds enough
to do there to keep him busy. He has not
made speech; when called upon 20
address the soldiers, he told them that he
came here to work, and had no time :,
talk, Rather different from our political
5rigadiers.

SHocKrNG.-The True Democrat was
mistaken in its statement that Lovejoy was
engaged in taking care of the wounded at
Bull Run. 1t is said that Lovejoy, instead
of caring for the wounded, was the means
of having one poor wounded soldier kicked
out of an ambulance to make room for his
own cowardly carcass In his fight from
the battle, he was overtaken by the ambu-
lence loaded with Abolition correspondents
oil Northern papers, who actually kicked
the poor soldier out to die to make room for
him. Talk about rebel barbarism after
this.
