ANOTHER FIGHTING EDIToR.-Joseph
Eibeck, editor Of the Clayton Co. Journal
has thrown his paste-pot away for KNAPP
sack, and his pen for a sharp bag-o-nct, and,
like brave Jeannotis going off to the war
to leave the Jeanette he never had. Bully
for you Joseph. Your pluck, if it has no
copyist in the profession, has many admi-
rers. May the God of battles and a stout
right arm, keep all harm from you and
bring you back to old Clayton, when this
bad rebellion will remain to be written by
the historian, as colossal failure.
A gentleman whose name is not yet men
toned, it is said will occupy the tripod du

Iowa ALL RIGHT. In three weeks, says
Governor Kirkwood Iona will have muster
ed into the service of the United States her
full quota under the call Of the President
seventeen and one half regiments. Three
Of these regiments are cavalry, consisting
Of 1900 men each. The infantry re-
gimcnts are all of the maximum order,
and number more than 1000 men. 1t is
probable an additional impulse was given
to enlistment by the current report that
drafting was about to be commenced, but
the results are fit rebuke to the unwar-
rantablssstrictures which many of our CO.
temporaries in adjoining states have pub
lished concerning the dearth of patriotism
in the young Hawkeye state.
III the Governor has made no errors in
his estimation, lows win be the second
state in the Onion to make good her quota.
Illinois and Wisconsin papers will do well
to make note Of this.

Frenaont,s Removal.


Perhaps no other subject is provoking
so much interest and discussion at the pre.
sent time as that Of the removal or retcn-
ton Of Gen. Fremont as Major General OF
the western division of the army Of the
United States. We suggest that nasmuc h
- the responsibility ana the power rests in
the President Of the United States and his
advisers, it will be best to drop impassion-
ed discussions upon the subject. Perhaps
We interfere too much in military matters,
we cannot all be Generals or the military
advisers of the Commander in Chief; neith-
er is it presumable that our facilities for
obtaining information az to existing facts
and necessities, are so complosa.-as those
which the President enjoys. If Mr.. Ere
mont then, appears to the Chief to be in,
efficient for the position and is superseded
in command would It not be the height Of
folly for usto talk Of disseminating our efforts
in the good cause until he should be re.
instated; and would no. such talk DO in
sobordination
Let every tub stand on its own bottom,
and every General upon his personal
weights. We don't want to see Fremont
removed, unless he is inefficient, and as
We arc not the judge of that matter, we
shall acquiesce in the determination of Mr..
Lincoln.
1t is shame that this Blair and FIRE.
mont quarrel has been prccipitated upon
the country Mt this time.

We are quite sure the faircr portion of
our readers will welcome a brief disserta-
ton upon the fall fashions for 1861 based
upon the best authorities which our editors
table can produce.
Bonnets are made high, full upon the top,
and with straight sides from which ruche
is displaced by waves of black and white
ace,-giving fine nautical appearance to
the wearer. True, thin long face, with
bunch Of flowers over the forehead, and a
miniature garden upon the top Of the bon
net is sine qua non Disagreement; but
such an one may be seen any day this
month on Broadway. Feathers of every
grade from the ostrich to those of the COM
mon barnyard fowls are very much worn
in fact all the fashionable are in high feather.
In color, the best bonnets are made of red
material and all its attendent shades-the
sensation color being sort of red brown,
more like army shoe leather than anything
else that grows. Young Misses wear round
hats Of the turban Zouavc pattern, trim.
med with feathers and velvet.
Dresses are made Of heavy goods that
stand off from the form and preserve the
BELL like shape which is a token of gentility.
Crinoline is dominant Cores are going
out Of use. Skirts are cut long and full,
plated upon the waist in army box plaits
as.of old. The best designed are not trim
med, except up the sides, around the bot
tom, and up the front. 1t will be interest
ing to note that broad black velvet is the
most costly that is worn. Capes are becom-
ing for morning and street dresses.
Cloaks in dimension have suffered little
change from last year, except that some arc
made of black beaver in plaits-heavy
enough to weigh down any man Of moder.
ate muscle.
Balmoral boots-blcsscd design and
heavy English shoes, are both fashionable
and healthy.
No change in furs worthy ofnote.
Hair is to be crimped, curled and pulled
out at the sides.
On the whole the Opening indicates
two good things, to wit: return to natural
colors in their season, (bright for autumn
warm and rich colors for winter, green and
violet for spring, and pale colors for sum.
mer) and q due regsrdfor economy in the
material and mode. Good prudence; gra
eious design.
