VIEWS, RUnORs, AND
RemovaI Of Gen. Fremont.
The Washington Star, of the 4th inst. says:


We have every reason to believe that the rumor
alleging that Major-Ganeral Fremont has been Or
dsred to this city is untrue, and also eve that
it has nat been determined to call the court martial
which the specific and formal charges, brought by
Col Blair against him, may have rendered necessa-
~ according to he rules Of the service to assem-
bic in Missouri.
From the best information within our reach, we
Judge that Col Blair distinctly charges upon Gen.
Fremont's Encouragement the loss of the battle Of
Springfield, aud the recent fall OF Lexington
with other allegations of improper conduct. as
commander, en- his part
Gen. Wool is expected to reach this city to-day.
Our impression is that he has been ordered here for
consultation and that he will not long hence be Or
dered to Missouri either to preside over the court
martial before which the charges against Gen. Ere
mont may be tried, or to command in that officers
stead During his absence from Fortress Monroe
from which post we 30 not believe he has so far
been detached for any considerable length of time)
the command there win devOlve on Gen. Mansfield.
The Baltimore Sun, of the It'll instant has the
following dispatch on the subject
WAsHINGroY, Sept 3-Rumors being prevalent
involving important military changes. it is ascer-
tanned on inquiry at the War Department that no
order has been ued to Gen Fremont to report for
trial by court martial 1t is true that Gen. Mans
field has been appointed to the command Of Fortress
Monroe but Gen. Wool whom he supercedes, has
been assigned to no other duty.

From the Norfolk IVa.) Day Book Oct 9.


The steamer Junaluska, Capt Slacum. arrived
here early this morning from R0anokeIIsand Capt
Slacum brings US a full confirmation of the ne VS.
we published this morning in regard to tie Cheka-
macsmack expedition, ard the breaking mp of the
enemies camp at that place, together with addi-
tional particulars.
The expedition for this purpose left Roaaoke Is
land on Thursday, at midnight, and consisted of
the steamers Curlew the flag ship Of Commodore
Lynch, Raleigh, Fanny, and Junaluska nd the
transports Empire and Cotton Plant, with detsch
ments Of the Third Georgia and North Carolina Re-
giments.
They arrived of ChiGkanacOmack at O'Clock
in the Faoralng, and commenced landing the Geor-
gia regiment, under cover Of,the guns Of the feet
which landed too far from the shores, and not In
position to prevent the Yankees from refreshing.
The goth Indiana regiment was drawn up on
shore, preparatory to giving our forces battle, pro

ed action of our ferCes towards landing the cow
ardly whelps took to their heels down towards Hat
teras leaving everything, even their private ward
robes, papers, &c. This example Of gallantry
set them by their Colonel, who put spurs to his
horse and was the swiftest Of the whole pack.
Our entire feet, except the transport Cotton
Plant then moved their position to Hatteras Light
House in order to intercept the retreat Of the Yam
KEGS; but it coming up dark before they could com
mence landing and the want of sufficient boats to
make an expeditions landing, the Yankees made
their escape TO the fort at Hatteras.
The Georgia troops, from the Cotton Plant, having
effected landing put out down the beach in pursuit
of the flying Yankees, but they being entirely too
feet of foot for them, escaped to Hstleras Light-
House where they were reinforced
At the time of the retreat Of the Yankees, had it
been high tide they would not have escaped, as the
sand was Of such nature as t. utterly preclude
the possibility Of running beloT the high water

through this sand twelve miles; that is from Chick

chase one member of the Georgia Regiment died
from exhaustion in pursuing the Yankees. His
remains were brought here By thelJunsiuska.
a SergeantMajor, Of the Indiana regiment, shot
the horse Of Col Wright, Of the Georgia regiment
from under him, which appeared to be the only
evidence Of bravery evinced BY the whole party
Colonel Wright captured this man, and for his
bravery treated him very courteouaiy.

The Prospect in NIissouri.

The Northern papers are getting Respondent of
the prospect in Missouri. The Washington Star Of
the 4th thus speculstes upon the next news from
that quarter:
Undisguised anxiety continues to be manifested in
military circles here relative to the state of things
in Missouri and Kentucky. The loss of Lexington.
we hear, has greatly increased the force Of Price
and all other dsuniOn commanders in Missouri
the wavering having accepted it as an omen Of the
eventual defeat Of the Union cause there Previous
to it Fremont in greater force through Ou- the
State than the disunionists. lis effect no viewer,
has been not only to loose him Mulligans 900 men
but to deter others (of Mssouri) from john ng him
and to induce quite ten thousand TO join ne rebel
commanders, who would have done no such thing
had Price been unable TO reduce Lexington.
Under these circumstances, and the general i'm
preston among the military men that Fremont is
no. adequate to his command the imp essiOn Is rife
here that the next sdyices Of battle in that quar-
ter will continue unfsvorable TO the Union cause
We state these facts in order to prevent the Sdrs
readers from becoming dishsartened by any APP
preaching result in that quarter.

burned 10 he ground
The General is perfectly aware of the fact that
these outrages are perpetFated by few bad men,
and do not receive the sanction of the of the
army He feels confident therefore, that all officers
and soldiers who have the interest of the service
at heart will cordially unite their efJr with his
in endeayoring to suppress practices which disgrace
the name of a soldier
The General commanding directs that in future
all persons connected with this army, who are de-
tected in depradang upon the property of citizens,
shall be arrested and brought to trial. and he assures
all concerned that crimas of suca enornity will ad
NIT of no remission of the death penalty which the
military law attaches to offences of this nature.
Wren depredatioDs are committed on property in
charge of the guard the commander, as well as the
other members of the guard, will be held RESPONSE
bic for the same, as principals, and punished ac-
cordingly.
