Il must be extremely irritating to the
old veteran TO quit the service at this par
ticulsr period. lie has fought and won
numerous battles for this republic, and
his chief pride and glory for long years
for his entire life, We may say, has
been to support and defend the flag of
this nation. For its honor and glory,
he has faced death in thousand forms.
Through bris,Iiog bayonets, showers OF
shot, aud aln ost in penetrable barriers
ofsteel has the glorious old hero pushed
his way time without number for the
houor Of his country and it must be
extremely unpleasant, while the same
old flag is being menaced, to be COM
PEELED to abstain from taking the field
in its defence. No doubt his proud
spirit chaies within its worn out flame,
and longs to be foremost 10 the fray.
May his days yet be long and happy;
aud may the old veteran live to see the
day when treason is put down and trail

Late intelligence from Gen. Fremont's
army in Missouri conveys to our mind
the impression that he is coming down
on the rebels in vigorous and deter
mined manner. Ifhc should happen to
get Gen. Sterling Price and bis forces
within good fighting range, that indi
vidual would be apt to rue the day he
turned traitor to his country and took
position at the head Of rebel army.
Nothing could be more disastrous to the
secession cause than a grand defeat of
that force, and it is to be hoped that
the Information that Fremont has
him tight place, is true. The effect
that Union victory Of so great mag
nitudc would have npon the present
Blair Fremont imbrogIio would be
anything bat gratifying to tho Blair
family and to Fremont's enemies gene.
rally. 1t would, we believe, put a qni-
etus upcn all the hue and cry about the
management in the Western Division,
and put the superceding of the present
commander long distance in the fu-
ture. We should not be surprised to
hear Of the overthrow Of Prices army
any hour.
