We gather from late Southern papers
that the hospitals at Fredericksburg, Va,
are crowded with sick soldiers from the
CorOlina, Arkansas and Tennessee regi-
ments. The hospitals In Richmond have
been full for some time, aud they are obli-
gcd to quarter the sick wherever they can
find shelter, The Mississippi Brigade,
which was composed of forty -seven hum
dred men, has only tweaty-three hundred

For the Intelligencer'I
General FremODt's ProelAmntl0nssl1
supplies the Hiatus the lnst Soh-
BEess left open.
1t appears the rebel Congress at Rich
moud has passed an act conhscating "dI
property, of ecery description, Oicntd, PosseSs-
ed or enjoysd 5y alien enemies siHee the 2lst
If U1,J 1861" The terms "alieu enemies"
according to the construction of the rebels
includes all persons who remain loyal to
the Federal government, whether they re-
side in the loyal States or in such States as
have attempted to secede. They make the
taking of an ooth to support the sO-called
Confederate States, with tender of their
active influence, property or lives, the evil
dence that establishes fidelity 10 their trea-
SON and rebellion; and this alone takes the
citizen beyond the sweeping act of confis-
cation.
What has the Federal Congress done to
counteract this overwhelming influence
over the minds OF the citizens 1.-THE States,
which come within the sn-called Southern
Confederacyl Has it prescribed punish
ment of equal severity against traitors and
rebels in the government of our fathers p
Has Il denounced as severe pains and PEN
allies against what is considered the "sum
of villainieg,H as the rebels have denounced
against what is considered the highest viz
tue, an mistaken fidelity 10 ones country
II seems it has mott for whilst the
Confederttes confscate "Property OF
every description" the Federals confscate
only such articles as can be proven to be
directly destined to the support OF the re-
bellion, or such as are usually contraband
Of war.
This is a strangs spectacle for the nine
teenth century OF the Christian Eral The
Traitor and Parricide is spared and pro-
tected in his possessions, whilst the Pa
triOt aud loyal citizen is stripped OF all
lands, goods aud chnttels-everythiug
Nor Is this made TO depend upon the
success of one or the other of the con-
tending parties. For citizen of Virginia
or Tennessee has only to turn traitor and
adhere TO JEFF. Davis and throw all his in
flnenre aud weight of character 10 that
direction. and his person and possessions
are alike safe, whichever party succeeds.
But If he remains loyal to himself, his
country, and his God, and the Confederate
scheme should happen to succeed, all is
lost.
1t is this omission that Gen'l Fremont
lias supplied in Missouri, by establishing
martial law, Agreeaoly to the exigency OF
tile war and the Federal Constitution, and
the people iriH sustain him und his exam
pie should at once be initiated by tile Com
manders of other military districts.
The Federal Government, both civil and
military, must come up to the exigency OF
! the war meet the enemy ut every point on
the terms be has proposed and with his
own mode Of warfare. Vox PoPuLI.

This has been done without cause: there

eaectualIy Knocked the starch out of the
secession ordinance, which the Legisla-
ture was expected to pass. The Balti-
moreans are featfully wronged and much

liberties destroyed, and themselves "a good

full. But then it is singular fact that
not single man who behaved himself
like white man and respected the laws.
and didn't undertake to subvert the gov
ernment, has had the smallest of his rights
as u citizen abridged. Baltimore isH viii
lainous nest of traitors, and we must re-
member that when man turns traitor to
his government, he forfeits all claims to
its protection, and at the same time lays
himself liable to all its penalties. Balti-
more by her own acts has brought down
this punishment, and We suppose she will
have to endure ii till times chauge7for the
better.

Cause OF the Arrest OF SecessionIsts in
BaItfmOre-Thc Plot to Carry Mary
land out of the UniOn--EOrtunnte
FrustFntion OF the Schemes of the
Rebels.
The arrest ut Baltimore of the secession
members of the Legislature of Maryland
has exploded a plot of the rebels which
will prove of vast Importance tothe govern
ment. 1t is known that some of the ar
rested members of the Legislature had a
programme all prepared, by which an act
was to be passed declaring Maryland out of
the Union and a State of the Southern
Confederncy. The movement of the rebel
army up the river WAS preparatory to a
contemplated movement across. The at
tempt was to be made the day the Legs
lature acted. AT the same time the Mayor
of Baltimore, who vas also arrested, was
TO cooperate by the best demonstration he
could make. By the arrest of the leaders
of this conspiracy the Legislature is with
out the power to act, and the rebels OF
Baltimore have lost their chief.
A simultaneous movement was to tax e
place along the Eastern shore of Maryland
under the supposed direction and leader
ship of ex-Commander Buchanan, of the
navy, to aid the rebel army of Virginia in
crossing to Maryland. This movement un-
der Buchanan was TO be made to distract
our centre
The plot is exploded by the prompt ac-
ton of General Mcclellan, in directing the
arrests made in Baltimore.

The Reported Trouble with Major

All sorts of reports are in circulation
relative to Gen. Fremont and the visit of
Postmaster Blair and Quartermaster Cen
eral Meigs to st. Louis. These reports
are not only current here, but are tele-
graphed all over the country. have as
| certained the facts in the case.
The gravest difficulty at st. Louis was
personal, between General Fremont and
| Colonel Frank P. Blair, Jr. 1t arose from
different causes, and was manifested on
various occasions, public and private
Confident hopes are entertained that it has
now been substantially adjusted.
Complaints are made, from sources
which hnvereceiyed consideration, against
General Fremont, for alleged inaccessibili-
ty to persons having important business
with him, and an indisposition to cooper
ate cordially with the State officials. 1t is
probable that the ground for such dissatis-
| faction will be removed.
General Fremonts proclamation, which
was written and promulgated without con-
sultation with anybody, will be modified
! to n certain extent by the President. he
requires, or requests, General Fremont, in
| a letter already written, to be made public
| in a few days, to interpret his proclama-
ton so as TO make it itaccord with the law
of Congress passed at the recent session.
This is the substance. do not undertake
to give you his language, but my authority
for all these statements is the highest that
the case admits of.
The relations between President Lincoln
and General Fremont continue amicable:
| The President sent Postmaster General
Blair out to st. Louis MS friend of Cen
eral Fremout's. Quartermaster General
Meigs went on other business-simply to
investigate the Quartermaster's Depart
ment there.
No other charges, except those mention
ed, which have any weight at all with the

The rebels don't want to attack Wash

parently contemplate movement into

Ir seems to be agreed on all hands that
Fremont is not to be superseded. We are
glad Of it, He has shown himself a man,
well qualified for his position and the
emergency he is plnccd in. The people
have confidence in him, and want him
just where be is. If some other army
officers had half his military genins or cx-

greatly the gamer. We give elsewhere the

sufficient allowance.
