[FruGl the Cincinnati Commercial, 13th.1
Col Lowe, Of the 18th Ohio, fell at the head
cf his r, giuent, in the battle on Gauley River,
Tuesday afternoon. There are circumstances
attending the death Of this officer of a peculiar
and psininl nature After the battle Of Sea
:ey, the State was filed with reports that his
Conduct in that action had been coWardly.
Many letters were printed In the Cleveland
sid other Northern Ohio papers, charging him
in the most direct terms, with conspicuous
want of personal courage. Officers v 10 were
IN the action and passed through this city short
If AftsrwarG, made state1aents that seemed to
co1robo1ate those of the Cleveland letter writ
cIs. As Eoon as bis OVID regiment and the Off
cers who had been with him in the action, were
heard from, 1t was apparent that tho9e who
lad the best opportunities Of knowing had
entire confidence in his bravery and capacity
The reports which we're so extensively circu-
lated to his prejudice, grew out Of certain diff
ie1eEces OF opinion, OF little Importance,
which bad been permitted to excite Ill feeling
between the regiments commanded by COPS
Lowe and Norton
At this time the public mind was intensely
ee1eitiye as to the conduct of field Officers,
aad il Its excited condition great Injustice was
done Col Lowe. Letters from regular eff
GERS 6nd Others, testifJiDg to his bravery and
good conduct in action, were published, but
the Colonel wRs esger for an opportunity on
another battle field, to show TIE world how
cruelty he hid been wrcnged By the imputa-
tons cast upon him. HI found his oppoFta.

We know not how much credit to give
the telegraphic rumor shat Gen. Fremont
is to he superseded by Gen. Mcigs, the
present Quarternaster General Of the Uni
ted States Army. There are attendant cir
eumstanccs which make it not wholly lal-
probable. 11r Blair, to whom tie tele-
graph assigns the unpleasant duty Of re-
conciliDg Fremon: to his fate, is now in
St. Louis, as is Gen. Mejss. But there pres
cnce there on business wholly disconne cted
with the chan: e may have given rise to
The report. We know that there are Ger
tain Causes Of dissatisfaction growing out
OF Gen. Fremont:s proceedings, and the
character of few Of the men whom he
has put in highly important and re-
sponzible posts; but We have no idea tha
they are serious enough to effect his dis
n;ssal from his command. Gen. Meigs
Las probably gone to st. Louis to look per
sonally into the business appertaining Il
his department, ard TO lay his strong hane
upon 8 few abuses that need correction
Out Of this fact, the rzunor has probabl,
leen manufactured. But if it is confirmed
the effect upon the II est would be exceed
insly disastrous. Our people Of all partie
have pinned their faith to Fremont; ant
not hing short Of proof Of a pressing neces
s;ty for charge, would win their consea
to have any other man take his place.
LATER-The emphatic denial Of the ru
NOR above referred to, received By ou
midnight dispatches, will be hailed Wit
universal satisfaction. Though We canno
rejoice that any such report gained circy
lation, it has certainly had one effect in ou
city at least, not in any other manner to b
60 unnlistakably demonstrated, the proc
that the people without distinction {
party are with Gen. Fremont, to the Yer
Letter End extent Of his proclamation.

In yester3as's Bulletin We gave some res

Tic to}}oscing extract nf letter to the Saranaah
-Ates deals arah the subject in nsort scac man
saeF::
The chief topic Of conversation here Is the
inactivity Of the army. Much criticism has
been passed upon Gen. Beauregard and those
who are believed to direct the movements OF
the army, more particularly respecting the fail
ure to occupy or destroy Alexandria and Wash
ington City. Congress called for inform alton
on this point, and the President referred the
Inquiry to Gen. Beauregard, who, in his an-
ewer, Plactd the blame where it really be-
loDeed. He had been for weeks almost be-
seechiDg the War Department to supply him
with the material neeoful to carry on TIT war,
men, ammunition, provisions, wagons but
the Quartermaster's and CommissaEiat De-
partments being In Incompetent hands, the
day Of battle came End found our Generals
without means Of carrying the army forward
Quite an acrimonious debate sprung up in
the Houee upon the reading Of this answer,
in which Messrs. Miles and Chesn1t, of South
Carolina, who had been upon the staff Of
General Beauregard at Manassas, and had
supported him IN 9 most gallant manner dur
ing that eyent'ul day, found It necessary
t. vindicate their great chief from the asper
sions which certain members we're disposed
to throw out against his military reputation
Since the 21st Of July many circum instances
have combined to keep our troops in Sta
tlonsry position. Rain has fallen in great
quantities and almost necessarily, rendering
the roads impassab1e for heavy wagon trans
pcrtation, and the marching Of large bodies
Of troops; and there has been a great deal O
sclness among cur so1di7s st,robaby tsoex.fy pr
