We have just had conversation with Pro-
fessor David Christy, who has spent the sum.
mer in Southern Illinois, where he had taken
up his residence during the war, along with his
daughters.
On first reaching the ground he found con-
siderable portion Of the population hesitating in
relation to the support Of Mr.. Lincoln-not that
they were favorable to disunion but on account
of the obscur'y hanging around the policy Of
the Administration. 1t appeared uncertain
whether the Chicago Platform or the Consttu-
ton was to be the basis of action. But no
sooner had Mr. Lincoln planted himself on the
Constitution, by countermandng Mr.. Fremonts
emancipation proclamation, than every citizen,
to a man, declared themselves for Mr.. Lincolns
policy. There is now, s,ys Mr.. c., but one
sentiment among the people-devoted adhe.
renee to the Constitution and to President Lin
coin. @ ..t,
On the other band, Mr. G. Informs that he
has conversed with officers who assure him
that had the Administration adopted the policy
Of Mr.. Fremont and pronounced in favor Of
emancipation, large proportion Of the officers
would at once have resigned, - Gin. Enq.
0-The Professor Christy mentioned in the
above, is the same gentleman that originally
started the paper that is now called the Cadiz
Republican, and is well known to all Of our old

the corruption complained Of in the army, is to
be found IN the Western division in Missouri.
That Fremont, was aware OF bis inability for
the command assigned him, We firmly believe;
and anticipating bis dismissal, he endeayored to
create discomfort among the army, we consider
certain. II this be the case it furnishes the
very best reason for his dismissal. SO far back
as Oct 9Th, Russell Of the London Times wrote
that "t was Whispered the other day that Gen.
eral Fremont, if he were ordered to do so,
would not resign until he had beaten Price, and
there was no disapproval expressed OF any such
conduct on his part" ~ Ls Vlips Price, said
one in reference to the rumor that he was su-
parseded, II should BIKE to see either The President
or Simon Cameron vsntuing to diPldco Ere
mont"
The account published by US of there being
great excitement and indignation among the ar.
my because of Fremonts removal, looks very
much as il they had been prepared for it, and
the Generals soft words in giving up command,
does not relieve the matter in the least.
Gen. Harncy, a soldier of unquestianed abil-
ity was removed, to make place for Fremont,
and we heard nothing OF the indignant uprising
in the Western Army General Butler, the
only officer who has made an important mark
in the Potomac division, has been relieved OF
command, and is now roaming about New Eng.
land in the capacity of stump orator and recruit
ing officer. How does it happen that Massa-
shusetts does not rise in her sovereign power
and demand to know why her leading General
has been thrust TO one side, after his having CIV
en- unqueStoned evidence of ability. The Hon
Jos Holt the other day in Louisville alluding
to those who had plunged the country in civil
war, speak n; of Breckenridge, asked upon what
bread has he led that he has grown so great
We might, with as much propriety make the
same inquiry in relation to Fremont. His un
looked for nomination for the Presidency ir
1856 turned his head, and he seems to have
been wrong ever since. The truth is that J ohr
: G. Fremont is not fitted for any public position
which is under restraint Of law From tht
time of his arrival in Cali iornia in 1847 unit
{ he left it, he was constantly in some act OF in
. subordinatiJn. He seemed possessed OF al
, the stubborness which characterised his lat
Father law Colonel Benton, together with
: reckless defiance Of all rule and authority
We do not doubt his courage, his powers OF en-
i durance or his patriotism, but his whole lille ha
4 shown him to be independent and defiant of al
law and precedent.

Gen. Henry Wager Halleck, who
has been called to Washington from
California, for the purpose, as it Is ru-
mored, of receiving an important com
mand in the army, is New Yorker by
birth. He entered the West Point
Academy in 1885, was graduated in
1889, ranking third in his class, and en-
tered the army rs brevet second lieut..
of engineers, his commission bearing
date July lst, 1899. lie remained at
the military academy until June of the
next year, as acting assistant professor
Of engineering; in 1871 he published a
work on "Bitumen and its uses;" was
made first lieutenant in January, ls45,
and published an able work on the
':Elements of Military Art and Science"
in 1916. s. .... ....s.
Shortly after the Mexican war broke
out Lieutenant Halleck was sent to
California; and in September, i8+s, he
was brevetted captain "for gallant con-
duct in affairs with the enemy on the
10Th and goth of November, 1917, and
meritorious service in California, May
lst, l647." .
Iu California he was engaged in the
military government, as Secretary OF
State, under General Kearney, Colonel
Mason, and General Riley, from ls47
to December, ls49. Afterwards he
became chief of the staff of Commo-
dore Shubrick, in the further united
naval and military operations on the
Pacific coast. He was also member
of the convention which met in ls49
to frame the constitution of the State,
and was on the committee which draft
| ed the Constitution.
He was made captain of engineers
in July, 1859, and resigned his COM
mission the following year, August |,
| 1854.
| Since the breaking out of the pres
ent war the Government has recalled
him to the army, and he returns now
with the commission Of a majors -gener-
al, dating from August 10th Of the
present year. @
Orders were sent to General Hallcck
some time ago to report for duty in
Washington; and it is reported that
he left the Pacific side on the lst ol
October. He may therefore be expect,
ct in Washington in few weeks.

THE FIGHT AT BELMoNT.-The fol-
lowing despatch, dated St. Louis, Nov. 8,
gives the latest and most reliable account
Of the battle at Belmont Mo-, on last
Thursday, that We have seen. 1t says:
"Gen. Grant telegraphs from Cairo to
headquarters here that our victory at
Belmont was complete. We captured
one hundred and thirty prisoners, and all
the rebels artillery, but were obliged to
leave part of the guns behind for want of
horses to haul them.
Some of the prisoners report that
large force was preparing to start to rein
force Price, but our attack will no doubt
prevent it. Our loss was about two hum
dred and fifty, about one-half killed and
mertally wounded. 4

The New York World compares our
Southern naval expedition, which num-
bers eighty vessels and thirty Thousand
soldiers, exclusive of laborers, &c, with
the great fleets of former times. The
Spanish Armada against England num-
bered one hundred and thirty seven
vessels, twenty thousand men, and
eleven thousand sailors. The spanish
vessels were little more than boats.-
So the expedition of Charles V. to Tu-
mis- numbered five hundred Genose and
Spanish vessels, but carried only thirty
thousand men. That of Peter the
Great upon the Caspian sea numbered
two hundred and seventy ships, but
only twenty thousand men. The expe-
dition Of Gustavus Adolphus to Ger
many numbered fifteen or eighteen
thousand men; that OF Jussuf against
Gambia thirty thousand; that of Charles
XII. upon Denmark fifty thousand.--
Hoche, in his attempted decent upon
Ireland, counted twenty-five thousand.
Bonaparte's expedition to Egypt con-
sisted of twenty-three thousand men,
with thirteen ships, seven frigatcs, and
four hundred transports. Abercrom,
bie's expedition to Egypt numbered
twenty thousand men; Cathcart's to
Copenhagen twenty-five thousand; Wei
ington's to Portugal fifteen thousand,
and to Spain thirty thousand. Bona
parties contemplated expedition, in
which preparations were made for
throwing hundred and fifty thousand
disciplined veterans upon England, by
means of three thousand pinnaces, pro.
tected by sixty ships of the line, is not
entitled to be brought into comparison,
inasmuch as it was never carried out.
The English expedition against Wash
ington numbered eight thousand, and
against New Orleans fifteen thousand.
The French expedition against Algiers
thirty thousand. The United States
expedition, under General Scott, a.
| gainst Mexico, twelve thousand. - Gin

A singular case of restoration after
apparent death occurred on Wednes-
day, at Albany. A little daughter of
Mrs. Wilson, residing on First street,

body did not stiffen, but every other
symptom of death was present. The
remains were prepared for the grave,
when, on Wednesday night, the sup
posed dead child screamed; and initne-
diateIy the functions oflife were resum-
ed. Heavy perspiration poured off the
body in great quantities, and the pale,
marble like form assumed healthy red
appearance. When the "dead" child
screamed, those present, except the,
mother, became greatly alarmed and
ran ont of the room. The. mother
rushed to the body, enclosed it in her
arms, and removed it TO a bed in the
