mont's administration OF the Military De
partment Of the West, will be found in
another part of this paper, and is worthy
special attention.
The various charges against Fremont, as
detailed in this letter, are the same rs Civ.
en- in tue report of Adjutans General
Thomas, (since published. who acoompa,
WED Gen. Cameron in his recent tour OF
Inspection to the West, and showing that
Mr.. Weed must have had access to thu,
report before writing his letter.
As matter Of course, Fremont mus.
now be removed. His outrageous conduct
ID now exposed TO the country. and to con.
iinue him in his present position would
be to acquiesce in these outrages. This
The Administration could not stand, and
hence the only alternative is TO turn him
cut,
When candidate for President Ere,
mon. was called "lhe American Pathfnd-
cr," "the Man of Destiny" &C., &c. With
What grace will he submit to his impend,
ng iateS Con he submit to be thus huns
hled in the face Of, not only the enemy,
but of the whole world-for his fame was
no. confined to this continent? Will he,
after putting on the regal airs OF live
mouarch-if Adjutant Thomas is to be
believed consent to take subordinate
position, and strive 10 regain the honors
ne has so suddenly lostg Or will he, as
'ome pretend to be wicked enough to fear
hewill, Stlike cut for himself, and, in true
Mexican style, issue pyOn,mceamcuto, and
establish a dominion of his own away out
southwest, part Mexican, part American
and the balance Indian, or perhaps go into
partnership with Brigham YoungH
A short time, we repeat, will reveal the
mystery, Truly this is a great country,
and these arc stirring times.
Wha; the effect will be, II may require
few days-perhaps weeks-clearly TO in
dicato. Fremont has great personal pop.
ularity, and commanding unlimited cred,
it as a man Of wealth. founded upon his
Mariposa gold mines--surroupded as ne
is by small army Of California "roughs,"
he can, if he wills it, be dangerous man.
At last accounts he was in pursuit of the
rebels under Gen. Price, who seemed TO
he well aware Of the fire in the rear" of
his adversary, and was most certain of
gaining victory by avoiding battle.
A DARING FEAT,-The present struggle
in our country will furnish to the worlds
history many feats of unexampled hero
ism, many incidents of unparalleled cum
ming, and many deeds Of noble daring"
Two of the most recent affairs of this
kind took place few days ago in Phila-
delphia. The present U. Z. Marshal, Mr..
Millwurd, claims to be very great "smel.
ler" and is surrounded by number of
deputy "smellers" The Marshal wa.
coming over in the train from Baltimore
one night, and on the way, noticed gen.
tlenan who seemed to be entirely absorb
ed in his own reflections, and was letting
other peoples business alone most terri
bly,. This was enough TO throw suspicion
upon Kim. In the minds eye Of the ever
vigilant Marshal, he was nothing less than
Secession spy-a JEFF Davis emissary-
and when the train reached Philadelphia
the stranger found himself in the clutches
Of the United States Marshal, prisoner
in the name of the United States of Ame-
rica. A search disclosed the fact that The
stranger was loyal citizeo-perhaps some
government contractor who had been si-
lenty meditating upon the large profits
that were TO find their way into his pock
els, and thus attracted the suspicion Of
the officer.
The other instance occurred with one
Of the Deputies, either Of whom can snuff
the scent Of traitor in the breeze as soon
SIS he sets his foot on the loyal soil Of old
Pennsylvania. On the day in question
one Of these "sEarps" espied traitor in
ono Of the rooms of the Continental Ho-
tel, whom he Immediately spt about weav-
ing his web Of stratagems by which TO Sc
cure the Gus" His plans all laid, and
the assistance Of Il detachment Of the city
Police procured, they pounced down upon
the rebel and dragged him forthwith before
the proper officer for hearing. But here
they soon discovered that they had caught
Tartar--or what was about the same
,hing--a New England Abolitionist NAM
ed Anderson
The only shadow Of excuse for the ar
rest Of this maA was the fact that,one o1the
Deputy Marshals saw a copy OF the Rich
mond (Vs.) Examiner sticking out of his
pocket! and another one actually saw him
reading it at the hotel
How long would IL take such men to
