HEADQUARTERS WESTERN DEPARTMENT

HEADQUARTERS ESTERN DEPARTMENT,
ST.. LOUIS, August 80, 1861.
The Commanding General sincerely re-
grets that be finds it necessary to make re
proach to the patriotic army under his com
mand, He had hoped that the right en-
forcement Of discipline and the good ex-
ample Of tho mass Of the enlightened SOL
diery which he has the honor to lead, would
have been sufficient to correct in goad time
the Irregularities and license of the few
who have reflected discredit upon our
cause and ourselves. But the extension of
Martial Law, to oil the State OF Missouri.
renderened suddenly necessary by its I'M
happy condition, renders it equally inner
alive to call the army to good order and
vigorous discipline. They are reminded
that the power to infict the extraordinary
ooverftieo of tho now ssaverninsr Ia w IL rip-
idly confined to a few, who are to be held
strictly accountable for its exercise. They
are als) reminded that the same necessity
which requires the establishment of Mar
rial Law, demands also the enforcement of
the military laws, which govern themselves
with the same sudden severity. The Com
nandiGg General therefore strictly pruhib.
its all vexati"us proceedings calculated en-
necessarily to harass the citizens, ana also
unauthorized searches, seizures and de-
struction Of property, except in cases Of
military necessity, and for which the officer
authorized or permitting it will he held
strictly and personally responsible. All
officers commanding districts, posts, or de-
tachmeDts, are enjoined to use the utmost
prudence and eiroumspection in the dis
charge of their duties under the crcum-
stances. A strict obedience to orders, close
attention to duties and an earnest effort to
protect and avoid harassing innocent per-
sons, is requested and expected from Off
GERS and mer. The Commanding Genera!
trusts that he will find few occasions to re-
proach the troops. He hopes and believes
that he will fed many to admire and ap-
prove them. JOHN G. Fremont,
Maj. Gen. Commanding.

what are We Comingtol

Is our readers learned by the telegraph
70 dispatches OF yesterday, the United
States marshal Of Philadelphia seized all
the copies Of the New York Daily News
which arrived there, as well as those in
tended to be sold in Philadelphia, as those
destined for Interior points at the south and
vest. The marshal also took possession Of
the Office of the Christian Observer, in con
sequence OF late viTuleut article on "tbe
unholy war" The marshal, it is to be
presumed, acted under instructions from
the government. If so, we musr say we
are sorry to see our government in this
respect initiating come Of the most otiec-
tionahle proceedings of despotism. OF the
four memorable ordinances which cost
Charles y. his throne, the first aud most
important was that which suspended the
the liberty OF tho press, and directed that
no print or journal should be published
without authorization Are we coming
TO this I? Is every journal which incurs
the displeasure Of the government to he
suppressed?
BESIDES such a s0urse is iu contTaventiou
oil the most elementary principles of civil
liberty 1t is a mistake in policy: BY per
scouting newspaper, you pay it COM
pliment you make it a martyr; you give
an Importance to its views which nothing
else could give. Furthermore. it is really
a confession Of weakness. What is the
government worth if it cannot stand pa
pr cannonade?
We are indignant, and justly indignant,
at the tone Of portion Of the English press
and Of the English public towards us now;
are we going tostrengthen our cause there,
and secure fresh sympathy, by showing
how little regard we have for those great
principles of Anglican liberty out of which
the liberty Of the press, carefully protected
in that country, and the security of the
person from unlawful violence, alike
spring? We are lighting not merely for
the Union, but for the constitution and the
laws; if to keep the first we must sacrifice
the lasttwo, the question may we'll arise
Of whatv alue will the Union then be 10 us il

The Baltimore american has reliable in.
formation regarding Gen. Rosecrans' d.
vision. Up to the afternoon of the 9th
inst, Gen. Rosedrans was not only alive
and well, but was quietly transactipg his
functions at his headquarters. Various
accounts are given Of the forces of Gems.
Lee, Wise, aud Floyd, but no accurate
information seems to be possessed outside
of ROseeraus' staff. Opinions differ yery
much among military men and others in
Western Virginia as to the probabilities of
anything like general engagement be-
tween the respective armies in that quar-
ter. Confidence is reposed in the ability
of Gen. Rosecrans to maintain himself
against any force likely to be spared to
attack him.

The Administration and the
Fugitive slave Law.

From he Leavenworth Kansas Times
Some time since Marshal Mcdowell III
5. Marshal for Kansas addressed a letter
to the U. 5. Attorney General, stating that
he did not deem it his duty to return fugi-
tive slaves TO Missouri until she became
more loyal, and asking for advice ON that
subject. The following is the reply:
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE,

J. L. Mcdowell, U. S, Marshal, Kvnsas,
Sir-Your letter of llth of july. re-.
ceived 18Th (under the frank of Senator
Dane of Kansas, asks advice upon the
question whether or no you should give
your official services in the execution Of the
Fugitive Slave Law.
1t Is the Presidents constitution dutv IN
take care that the ldlcs be faithfully exc
euted. That means all the laws. lie has
no right TO dlscrimlnate-no right to exc.
cute the laws he likes, and leave unexeeu-
ted those he dislikes. And of course Won

latitude OF discretion than he has. Miss
souri, is State IN tie Union. The lusur-
rectionary disorders in Missouri are but in.
dIyldual crimes, and do 6ot change the L.
gal status of the State, NOR change its rights
ana obligations as a member of the Union
A refusal, by ministerial officer. to ex-
ecute any law, which properly belongs 10
his Office, is official misdemeapor. of Which
do not doubt the President would take
notice. Very respectfully,

Letter from Hon. Franklin
BLADES

We call the attention of our readers TO
the letter of Hon. franklin Blades, which
we publish in another column.
Mr.. Blades was a member Of our last
Legislature, and though Republican, is
conservative aid National in his views
Unlike the majority of his party, he ele-
Yates country above partizan prejudiees and
is willing to sacrifice every personal con-
sideration for the restoration of the bands
of brotherhood between the States of this
Union.
In reply to Mr.. Blades lnterrogatories,
we will say that we would be as loath to
agree to any terms of peace as he is, un-
less sustained by justice and honor. We
want no dishonorable peace. Nor do we
believe there is Democrat anyw here who
is in favor of peace on terms not fair and
honorable to all concerned.
To begin with, we would offer the South
the Crittenden compromise, the Douglas
compromise, or the compromise contained
in the resolutions offered in cur State Leg
islature by the Honorable gentleman him
self, at the last session and voted down bv
the Republicans. Either Of those promo
sitions would be acceptable TO. US, and if
presented ut tie proper time would have
been ngreed to by the South ard our coun-
try been saved from the appalling disasters
winch threaten it.
Unfortunately for the country aud the
cause Of constitutional freedom, tie parts
Fans of Mr. Blades have voted down all
propositions FOR the adjustment OF our ter
rible difficulties. The Republican party,
with very few exceptions, were opposed to
compromise and peace from the beginning
! This exasporated the South and neutral.
lied the patriotic efforts of such men as
Mr.. Blades and Mr. Kellogg, who were in
favor of settling our troubles by other
means than the dread alternative of war.
1t may not be too late yet to stop the
| flow of fraternal blood and save thousand.
! of valuable lives. 1t is at least worth the
trial. Let our Government offer the olive
branch of peace, but at the time present
the sword that the Southerners may choose
which they will lave, 1t cannot weaker
our cause to present q proposition for or
