THE PAIHrigpEn ~ letter fror
Thurlow Weed Of the Albony Journal. il
relation TO Major General John Q. Ere
monrs administration OF the Military De
pariment Of tho West, will bo found il
another par, Of this paper, aud j, worth!
special attention.
The various charges against Fremont. 81
detailed in this letter, are the same ss Civ

Mr., Weed must have had accees 10 ihuN
report before writing his Letter.
As q matter Of course, Fremont must
now be removed His outrageous conduct
IS now exposed to the country, and to con-
tinue him in his present position would
be 10 acQuiesce in these outrages. This
the administration could not stand, aud
hence the only alternative is to turn him

What grace will he submit to his impendo
ing taieH Can he submit to be thus huns
bled in the face of, not only the enemy,
but of the whole world-for his fame was
not confined to this continentH Will he,
after putting on the regal airs Of a live
uouarch--if Adjutant Thomas is to be
believed consent TO take subordinate
position, and strive to regain the honors
ne has so suddenly lost? Or will he as
some pretend to be wicked enough to fear
hewill, strike out for himself, and. in true
aeXlcnn style, issue pronmceameato, and
establish a dominion of his own away out
Southwest, part Mexican, part American
snd the balance Indian, or perhaps 90 into
partnership with Brigham Young2
A ehort time, we repeat will reveal the
mystery. Truly this is q great country,
cnd these arc stirring times.
What the effect will be. it may require
few days--perhaps weeks clearly to in
dicato. Fremont has great personal pop
ulority, and commanding unlimited cred,
It as Il man Of wealth founded upon his
Mariposa gold mines--surrounded as ne
Is by a 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
be we'll aware Of the "fre in the rear" of
his adversary, and vas most certain of
gaining victory by avoiding battle.
A DARING FrAT.-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 a few days ago in Philo-
dolphia The present U, .. Marshal, Mr..
Millward, claims to be avery great "smel-
ler," and Is surrounded by a number of
deputy "smellers.n The Marshal was
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 mind s eye Of the ever
viglant Marshal, he was nothing less than
Secession spy--a JEFF Davis emtssory-
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. search disclosed the fact that the
stranger was loyal oitizen--perh0ps some
government contractor who had been ST.
lently medtating upon the large profits
that were TO find their way into his pock
els, and thus attracted the suspicion ot
the officer.
The other instance occurred with one
Of the Deputies, either Of whom can snuff

one of these "sharps" espied a traitor il
