Latest From Gen. Fremont.

Last Friday evening Gen. Fremont
was at Warsaw, where Sigcl's divis-
ion of the army, some 5000 strong,
had effected a crossing of the river,
by means of pontoon bridge. Gen.
Price was reported to have been rein
forced by McCulloch, and to have
made stand at Osceola. This place
is on the south side Of the Usage riv-
or, about twenty-five miles southwest.

way. The force under Gen. Price is
not stated, but it cannot be less, prob
ably, than $4,000 men, the most Of
whom arc well armed, and, as the
Federal cause in Missouri has had on
ly too good reason to know, desperate

Pope, Sturgis, Lane, McKinstry and
Hunter were all converging on War.
saw, and everything suggests that a
great and perhaps decisive battle in
Missouri is imminent.
Col. Wyman, of Chicago, acting
Brigadier General, is reported to have
dispersed the rebels who have been
plundering Union men at Linn Greek,
taking two hundred prisoners and re-
covering some of the plundered prop
erty. His force was $500 men, and
Linn Greek is town on the Usage
river in the direct route to Warsaw,
he must be there by this time, to CO.

1t is reported that Price has again
broken up his camp and was in full
retreat towards Arkansas.

Battle Near Leesburg, Va.
COL. BAKER KILLED.

Gen. Stone crossed the Potomac on
the morning Of the 2lst inst, with one
portion of his command at Edwards
Ferry, and the other at Harrison's Is
land. Skrmishing began between the
enemy in uncertain numbers, and part
of Gen. Stones command as early as
nine o'clock in the morning, and con-
tinucd without much effect until FIVE
P. NJ, when large achievements OF
the enemy appeared upon our right
which was commanded by Col. Baker,
late Senator from Oregon. The Union
forces engaged were about l,sOO and
were attacked by force supposed to
be from 5000 to 5000. At this juno
ture Col. Baker fell at the head of his
brigade, while gallantly cheering on
his men to the conflict. Immediately
before he fell, he despatched Major
Young to Gen. Stone to apprise him
at Lccsburg Of the condition of affairs,
and Gen. Stone Immediately proceeded
in person towards the right to take
command !; but in the confusion Great
cd by the fall Of Col. Baker, the right
wing sustained repulse with consid.
cradle loss. Gen. Stone reports that
the left wing retired in good order.
He held the approaches. Strong re-
Inducements were sent forward to
Gen. Stone during the night.
The remains of Col. Baker were re-
moved to Poolsville, and were carried
to Washington on Wednesday.
Lcesburg, near which place the
fighting occurred, is about thirty miles
above Washington. Gen. Banks
headquarters are near Rockville, Nd,
half way from Washington to Stones
command. The advance of General
McCall's Pennsylvania Reserves to
Drainsville, some fifteen miles up the
Lcesburg road, in Virginia, brought
them within striking distance, but VIC

had fallen back to Townsville.

Status of British Subjects.

Several days ago Lord Lyons adj
dressed a letter to Mr.. Seward, in
which he says Her Majesty's Govern
ment was much concerned to find
that two British subjects, Messrs. Pat
rick and Rahune, had been subjected
to arbitrary arrest, and although they
had been released it could not but re-
gard the matter as one requiring very
serious consideration. Lord Lyons,
therefore, felt bound to demonstrate
against such irregular proceedings, as
he designated them, and to say that
the authority Of Congress is necessary
in order to justify the arbitrary arrest
and Imprisonment of British subjects.
Mr.. Seward, in the course of his re-
ply, after detailing the facts in regard
to the two prisoners named in the note
Of Lord Lyons, says the proceedings
of which the British Government COM
plains were taken upon information
conveyed to the President by the lc-
gal police authorities of the country
and they were not instituted until he
had suspended the great writ of free
dom, in just the extent that, in view
Of the perils Of the State, he deemed
necessary For the exercise of his
discretion in the suspension Of that
writ, he, as well as his chief advisers,
among whom are the Secretary Of
War and the Secretary of State, is
responsible by law before the highest
tribunal Of the Republic, and amena-
BILE to the judgment of his country and
the enlightened portion Of the civiliz-
cd world.
In conclusion, Mr.. Seward remarks
that the safety of this whole people
has become, in the present cxigency.
the supreme law, and SO long as tue
danger shall exist, all classes of soci-
ETY., aliens as well as citizens, must
cheerfully acquicsce in the measures
which that law prcscribcs. This Gov
eminent does not question the legality
of the claims of British subjects on
the British crown, or the justice Of the
Difference which Her Majesty pays to
them. Nevertheless, the British Gov
ernment will hardly expect that the
President will accept its explanations
of our constitution and laws, especial
ly when the constitution thus ex-
pounded would leave upon him the
sole executive responsibility of sup.
pressing the existing instruction,
while it would transfer to Congress
the most material and Indispensable
power to be employed for that pur-
pose. Moreover, these explanations
find no real support in the letter, much
less in the spirit of the constitution !;
he must be allowed, therefore, to pre-
fer to be governed by the organic ma
tional law, which, while it will enable
him to exercise his great trust with
complete success, receives the sane
ton of the highest authorities of our
country aud is sustained by the gene
raj consent of the people, for whom
alone that constitution was establish

A Tennessee paper says that Andy
Johnson is very bitter against the Sc.
cessionists. Whether he is or not he
certainly had enough to make him
bitter. A band Of tile rebels went to
his house in East Tennessee with the
avowcd intention of hanging him, and
not finding him at home, they cut a
hickory withe in the woods and sconrg-
ed with it the body of his wife. Who
could wonder if the outraged husband
were to raise bis clenched right hand
and swear to wage war of cxtermi-
nation against the internal miscrcants.

MOVEMENTS ON VIRGINIA.

The important movement of United States
troops from the North.Eas. and the Northwest
upon Harper's Ferry is going steadily on, and
unless the Rebels run, as is not unlikely, We
shall soon have stirring news. The 9th, 2lst,
23d, and oath Pennsylvania Regiments reached
Chambersburg. on their way TO IIarper's Ferry,
early yesterday morning. Moorheads, Lewis's,
Lyle's, the Scott Legion Regiments, and tho
Philadelphia City troops, were expected during
the night. Thus, as we stated yesterday morning
there are in this wing about $1,000 men advanc-
ing upon tho Rebels
On the other side the Ohio and Western Virginia
troops under COL Kelly entered Grafton yesterday
and the SecessiOnists fed without firing gum The
9th Indiana Regiment was at Cincinnati on the way
to the same point. The l4th and 2lst Ohio Regi-
ments were also near Grafton at the latest accounts
they numbered 1900 men.
From Washington we learn that the Garibaldi
Guard and the 9th New-York Regiment are expect
inc TO be sent upon important service into virginia.
also that two regiments of District Volunteers ast
evening received orders to prepare for long march
II is probable that these preparations look toward
Harper's Ferry Thus it will be scen that no hope
remains for the Rebels at the latter point except in
precipitatc flight.
From opposite Wilamsport the Secession troops
have fallen back two miles OF more toward
MartiDsburg, and we learn that q hundred
assertions from them have taken place.
The latest news from Washington indicates
immediate action. The list Regiment was
ordered to be ready for instant march last
night. The final report for the night from Har-
pers Ferry stated that there were 10000 troops
there. 1t should be taken with qualification.
Our Baltimore correspondent gives the details
of plot Matched by Gen. Lee to regain pos
session of that city. The advance of the lornid-
able force upon Harper's Ferry will however,
materially damage his plans, and he will have
work enough to tax all his ability if be is
content to act merely on the defensive. There
is no doubt that there are enough traitors in
| Baltimore to make serious trouble there under
more favorable circumstances. They reckon
without their host however, if they think to
catch our generals mapping.
