The news from this State is so fragmentary
contradictory, and unreliable. that scarcely any
definite idea Of the state of affairs there can be
gathered from it, just what relation Fremont
now sustaing to the Government is uncertain,
and whether he is to continue in command, or
be compelled to resign by restraints put upon
his free action, is yet doubtful. That there Is
at st. Louis, for come cause, disposition to H.
terfere wit his conduct of the war and embar'
rass him in his command, is tolerably evident,
and that the - Blair family" are connected
with it is to be inferred from the arrest of COL.
F. P Blair, Jr. " ho is right and who is wrong
in this quarrel is of course Of some consequence
to the parties interested but the griefs or jeal-
ousies of individuals is of utter insgnifcance
in comparison with the damage done to the
cause by personal quarrels and bickerings.-
Missouri needs d very strong arm to rescue her
Immediately from the horrors of the most mer
ciless, cruel, and savage depredations of trail
tors, and every energy Of her own Government
and of the L. S. Government that can safely be
employed for that purpose, should be at once
put in requlsitlon. The State has refused to
seoede, and by so doing has brought upon her,
self all the terrible scourge of civil war, and
until she is freed from the mu1derers who are
devastating all her national interests, the con-
tentions of partisans had better be postponed.
IF Fremont is right, the Government ought to
sustain him, or, if he is wrong put another
man at once in his place. vacillating policy
Will soon leave the State scarcely worth saving.

GREEN MOUNTAIN FREEMAN, SEPT. 49, lool.
Flovd's Position in the Late Battle.

The Washington Star furnishes the following
account of the position occupied by Floyd De-
fore and after his defeat by General Rosecranz'
on the 10th instant: 49,.
Before the battle, Floyd had established ms
camp near the brink Of a precipice, on the north
side of Gauley, with u plane, but generally q
wood. covered country, along which kosecranz
approached to attack him.
On the south side of Gauley, directly oppo-.
site the site of Floyds camp, is the mouth OF
the Meadow river, one of the principal triouta'
ries of the Gauley. 49,
Both the Meadow and Gauley rivers at this
point, and for many miles above and below H.,
Aow with great rapidity through deep chasms'
walled in by preclpices OF rock, rising not less
than five hundred feet, and possibly much
higher, above the rivers.
In the rear of Floyd's position, and his only
means of escape, Isl very narrow and very steep
road, which has been worked down the Gill 10
the level Of the Gauley. And it is along this
narrow road, since there Is no other, that MS
retreat must have been effected the night follow
ing the attack. Gauley River is crossed by q
Jerry, known in this region as Carnliex Ferry ;
but it seems that Floyd had managed to con-
struct temporary bridge over the torrent, just
below the ferry, by which he secured his retreat
The road on the south side OF the Gauley, up
which the retiring army assembled, is on the
west side of the Meadow river, very steep and
narrow, aud SO situated that handful of men
with few guns could successfully dispute the
passage Of the river by d very strong force.
Tho probability is, that after crossing the
river ana ascending to the level Of the plain,
between the chasm of Meadow river on the
East, and that of the Gauley on the North,
Floyd took up another defensive position for,
if he is able to make a stand anywhere in West
ern Virginia, he can make it just there. lie
has an open country, and good road behind
him, and a deep gorge with q violent torrent
running through it, between him and his pur
suers, which lie can defend from any command
ing points.
His position can possibly be turned by a de-
tour up the Gauley but that can only be after a
very difficult and laborius march, and after cross
ing both the deep rayines of the Gauley and the
Meadow rivers. 1t cannot be carried in front,
if defended with any spirit or skill.
The site first selected by Floyd to receive the
attack of Rosecranz, shows a total incapacity
for command. If he had been defeated there
his defeat would have been utterly DISASTROUS
1t is probable that he found this out during the
action, and became over anxious, as soon as the
darkness favored his escape, to put the deep
chasm Of the Gauley between him and the eager
regiments on his track

stand Together.

From time to time we have endeavored to
incuIcate the necessity for Tennesseans to
stand together. In the past we have told
the people to discard every feeling of ami
mostly, to forget all past strife and rally
shoulder to shoulder and hilt to hilt for the
honor, the interest and glory OF the State. If
such counsel was appropriate at any time
heretofore it is now become absolutely neces-
sary. Our strength is dependent upon our
unity. That majority, large majority
will ratify the action of the Legislature in
our declaration of independence, we have
not the shadow of doubt; but we desire
perfect unanimity. The day is past for
Union with the North, or for justice and
equality in a Union with the North. That
idea has been supplanted by that of oppres-
sion. The North offers us choice between
fire and sword, and dishonor and subjugation.
By prompt resistance and independence we
may avoid the first, but failing in these we
are inevitably reduced to chains and slavery.
Are we uEduly excited? Do We mistake the
purposes of the orth Who among US caR
mistake the Chicago platform for the consti-
tuition of the United States? Who can advo-
cate the Union, when it is demonstrated that
the constitution has been subverted in all its
essential provisions. Who can expect jus
tice, when every principle of justice is vio-
lated? Who can hope for equality, when he
is put under the lash and made to submit to
stripes? Who is willing to exchange the
heritage of a free ancestry for degradation
and slavery. If there be such a man in Ten
nessee let him stand forth, and avOw himself.
Let him present himself as the enemy of his
State and as the enemy of liberty. If he
prefer despotism to freedom, let him declare
il, and prepare to emigrate to that region
where such opinions are predominant We
sincerely trust that the election of the Sth OF
June will not discover a single man of that
stripe. We hope that no son of Tennessee
will have The insufferable modification
to see brother untrue to him or her. Let
US stand together in the great and mOmen-
tous issue of independence and equality, and
if we are to fall, let US fall togeiher-with
our feet to the foe and our faces to Heaven
which gives nerve to our arms courage to
our hearts, and love and veneration for our
patrimony of freedom.

A distinguished citizen has just received
an important communication from semi
official source in Washington, the substance
of which we are permitted to state. Instruc-
tons have been prepared, and will be imme-
diately forwarded, to the Collectors OF the
ports in the West, directing them to exert
themselves in the prevention of the shipment
of arms and munitions, and provisions, to
the insurrectionary states. 1t is presumed
that orders t. grant no more clearances for
such shipments will be Immediately issued.
The interruption of communications between
Washington and the country, and the imme-
date danger which has been mpenGing over
Washin2 ton, have prevented the Govern
ment from bestOwing the proper attention to
Western affairs. 1t is the opinion of the
highest officers of the Government, that Ohio
and the Northwest should keep their provis-
IONS at home for the present, as the Northern
armies and people will.furnish an ample mar
ket for them. The Administration will
doubtless take vigorous measures, without an
hours unnecessary delay, to crush out the
great rebellion. 1t is regarded as very i'm
pOrtant that the three months period for
which troops have been called out shall not
be suffered to pass away without decisive
measures. -Cm. CON-, Nay 18th.

liticai matters was passing away, and busi-
ness was resuming its usual course. What
will be the result of collision between the
two governments is more than any one can
predict. The vision of privateers at sea aud
partisan bands along the frontier must be so
terrible to Americans that it is possible the
public feeling Of the people may restrain the
acts Of their rulers. But should this quarrel
begin aud continue until both sides are
reused into animoslty, the war, though short.

Furnishing traitors. But We had rather not
speculate on SO great a calamity as such a
war would be. We would rather hope that
the good sense of the Americans and the
peaceful counsels of this country may bring
about reconciliation before the dispute has
been too far envenomed- As long as the two
sections Of the Uuion refrain from hostiIities,
it would be the height of arrogance and fol-
ly to Interfere; but when the soil and seas of
the new world are likely To be stained with

lions to the District: but so soon as by the act
of reversion Washington ehalI return to Ma
rylaDd, she will be beieaguered by our Con-
federate armies and forced to surrender like
Sumter to State Sovereignty.
A portion of the Vice Presidents speech
which Is deserving of serious contemplation,
il that which aIludes to the protecting hand
OF Providence, which seems to guard Us SO
specially. 1t was the winds of Heaven which
delayed the arriv al of the enemy's feet off
Charleston until Sumter was reduced. Just
as the match of the incendiaries was applied
to the works at Gosport with the intent to
destroy not only the Navy Yard, but the
whole city of Norfolk, and when the forked
flames were spreading wildly, The ,Dizd turned
and saved Norfolk from the conflagration of
Moscow. When powder had been placed
beneath the dock and the train laid and
lighted for the destruction of the most valna-
bic naval work upon the continent, q lad,
who was concealed near by, removed
plank and thus broke the connection. The
Goths attempted to blow up the Pennsylva-
MIA, the Germantown and the Merrimac but
the vessels sunk before the fuse caught. From
these incidents, in so short conflict, it
would seem as though an everything Provi-
dence was blessing our purpose and APPROX
ing the rectitude of our course.
Everywhere, said Mr.. Stephens he found
the whole country alive to the exigencies of
the times; crowds of citizens thronging the
depots to hear the news, aud to cheer COM
rades who were off for the wars. For these ex-
hibitions of loyalty and common purpose,
he might render a little of thanks to the
blind policy of Lincoln. who, by his procla-
nations, has stirred such fame in Southern
hearts as not oceans of food can extinguish.
Ten millions of people are with us now
heart and hand TO defend US to the death.
We can call one million of people to the bat
tie field if need be, and if they be cut down,
we can call another End another until the
last man of the South will find bloody
grave, rather than submit to the foul dcta-
tiOns of our oppressors.
We thank Dir. Stephens for his eloquent
and patriotic speech, which must cheer every
heart which even dropped the faintest, and
nerve every hand in the justice OF our cause
and in the smiles of an overriding IPrOvi-
dence.

The Right Spirit.

Hon. JOHN E. PERKINS, of Louisiana, this
morning presented to the Congress resolu-
ton (Which was read by the Clerk,) recently
passed at an enthusiastic meeting in the par
ish OF East Feliciana, in that State. in which
the planters pledged themselves to appropri-
ate eUery dollar of The proceeds Of their respectirs
crops, outside of the current expenses, to the
Confederate States during the continuance of
the war between the two sections. Besides,
twelve thousand dollars were appropriated
by the meeting in a few moments for the pur-
pose of Immediately arming and equpping,
and otherwise providing for The wants OF the
three hundred soldiers that had volunteered
their services from that parish. This is the
right spirit, and is rendered more significant
from the fact that the people of the parish in
question. formerly opposed the ordinance of
secession.-Montgomey AdUertisr, Nay 9Th.
