then exhibited General curtiss' pass in which

Hunter and must have transportation and a
pass through the lines,
Oolonel Eaton replied: "I can not pass any one
through the lines, nor will General Fremont
issue q pass 20 any person. The General is
greatly surprised that you affected a passage
through tue pickets when he had given strict
and positive orders not TO pass any one except
on his special order. Imay be able to send a
man 10 pass you out" a...9.-
Captain McKenny--'That will do.''
1t now being evening, Colonel Eaton intro
duced Captsin McKenny to Colonel Wood, who
was to furnish transportation. Colonel Wood
went to see Colonel Richardson, and did not
return until about nine O'Clock, when Captain
McKenny inquired about the transportation
In clustering and excited manner Colonel
Wood replied: 81 did not understand that you
wanted it to. night" and being assured by the
n Captain that he wanted it immediately, Colonel
Eaton, who had been sent for, answered: 1--WE
doubt our authority now to issue your trans
portation, as General Fremont has turned over
hiscommand to General Hunter, as you will
see by this circular" which the Colonel produ-
ced. Colonel Eaton added that he had no in
formation where Hunter was, but supposed he
wason the Buffalo Road, and that copy Of
General Fremonts circular had already been
sent to General Hunter, which copy General
Hunter never received. After the first appeal
to pass through the lines. Colonel Eaton saw
General Fremont; and returned with an answer
that the General was passing no one through.
A second appeal the Captain found equally as
fruitless, and concluded to try another method.
He called upon Colonel Richardson, ald made
known his business, and the efforts being made
to prevent him from going through the lines
Colonel r. furnished the Captain two horses
and guide, and the two started at eleven o.
clock toward Buffalo. The first guard was pass
ed by means ofthe countersigHr which the Cap.
tain had overheard Colonel Eaton give to an
.Stficer. Coming up to the second guard, the
Waptain was overhauled by the Corporal of the
guard who demanded to see the pass Captain
Mex. alighted from bis horse, and, tlOurishng
the pass of General Curtiss in front Of blazing
fire, remarked that he was in great haste to in
,-tercept General Hunter with important dis
patches The Corporal passed the Captain
through the lines by sending sentinel along
TO the outer pickets.
Captain McKinny rode all night, and arriv-
ing at Buffalo, could learn nothing of General
Hunter; and leaving word with Major Wright
that he had important dispatches Tor General
Hunter, he continued on toward Bolivar When
about ten miles on the road, be was overtaken
by the Major, who announced General Hunters
arrival at Buffalo. Captain Mex returned and
delivered his dispatches about twelve M After
dinner General H., in an ambulance, proceeded
to Springfield, arriving there about nine O'Clock
at night. Captain Mex. re, urned the following
morning, when be found all the officers ma
king their calls on the new Commander, and
congratulating him upon his promotion. The
harmony was general. There was some NUT
tering among the troops, but not the slightest
insubordnation 10 laying on arms through 1.-THE
night, no throwing down OF arms on the even
III previous or morning after, and not q sifgle
oficer threatened to resign. General Hunter is
esteemed and beloved by the entire army, and
the expression is universal that the troops are
entirely satisfied with any change the Govern
ment may deem best for the interests OF the
service. Up to Monday night, when the Caps
tain left, this good feeling and satisfactory har-
mony prevailed.
General Hunter, hearing that the advance
guard of the enemy were on Wilson's Creek
sent out two regiments Of infantry and one of
acayslry, who secured the country for 20 miles
and discovered no signs OF the enemy, nor had
Prices army been in that vicinity at ALL The
base Rbricatons that have emenaed from the
"Boheman Brigade" particularly the CORES.
yondencc of the st. Louis papers, has been de-
nounced in unmeasured terms by Gen, Hunter,
with every probability of an arrest Of several o Il
these gentry, who have been riding over the
State, fed and provided for in every respect by
Uncle Sam, upon the special order OF General
Fremont. This game has now "paye1 out"
and tie forwarding of any correspondence what
f$9tr without the Generals approval has been
iaterdiced. A more complete soinerSault was
never known that the correspondence sent over
the country on the day of Fremonrs removal
and departure from camp, and that which ap-
peared from the same pens he day after Gener
al Hunter took command.
Tie first mistake General Fremont made was
the refusal to reinforce General Lyon at Spring
field when Lyon occupied the building in which
General Fremont received his order OF super
sedure. Truly a singular incident of letribu.
tive justice.
For several days report has been circulated
here that when near Warsaw, General FIR mont
received dispatch from General Mcclellan au
thorizing the General to resume his command.
This report has been circulated by members OF
tie staff The Dh0le is n fabrication, as know
from official sources. On the contrary, Genera!
Mcclellan telegraphed General Cur,iss to arrest
Colonel Pbinny for leaving Springfield with
$300000, and all others e7Ao d1ere IN any aUay
connected tUHh Hat transaction. As General Fire
mont ordered Colonel Phinncy to remove thai
money after he was relieved Of his command,
his arrest was included in the dispa tch, but sub
sequenty withdrawn. On yesterday telegram
