FREMoNr AT CHURCH Ere
mont attended Beecher's church
last Sabbath. At the conclusion
of the services the congregation
rose, and a general rush was made
for the pew in which Fremont
and lady sat. Hundreds Of hands
were o~utstretched to greet him,
and after submitting to a severe
manipulation for about halt an
hour, he and company made their
exit from the church followed by
the congregation. As soon as the
Major General and his party
were seated in their carriage, the
crowd got up a cheer, and con
tinued to surround the carriage,
shaking hands with himself and
lady until the patience of the lat
ter was nearly worn out, and di-
rectionS were given to the driver
TO 90 ahead, which he did, and
the crowd followed the carriage
nearly as iar as the Fulton Ferry
where the party got aboard and

ganization OF the volunteer forces which mate
rally modify the system upon which we have
been proceeding.
UndeFthe new arrangement ali the officers
OF the Brigade when called into the service of
tne United States arc appointed by the United
States
The minimum number to constitute compa-
ny is eighty-three the maximum one hundred
and one All our companies thus far have
been composed Of seventy-eight men including
officers The Office of Ensign is discontinued,
and each company has two Lieutenants, five
Sergeon.s and eight Corporals
OF the regimental officers, the Quarter Mas
ter and Assistant, and Commissary must be
selected from among the Lieutetants of the
regiment. These are the more salient points
in which the former system has been changed.

most strength l rolled the massive stone and
found the pistol discharged. "-
Instantly the truth flashed across my mind
| rushed to the window and looking down saw
the woman and the man 1 had noticed in the
har-room the night before bending with torches
in their hands over the PROSTATE body of my
host, who was evidently in the agonies of death.
The ruffan had been waiting outside the win
dow until the accomplish had performed his
hellish work,in order to rob my mangled corpse
of the money he knew had in my possession !;
and the pistol being accidentally discharged by
the fall of the stone, the ball had pierced his
brain, entering through the evil eye which had
given me SUCK thrill of horror.
At the discovery of this hideous plot and its
awful retributon my senses threatened to de-
sert me; but rejecting that in such house l
could hardly be safe, no sooner had they car
ried the dying man within than l clambered
down outside, took my horse from the stable
and mounted him unobserved.
as passed the house, however, and looked
back at the room had recently occupied, and
which had so nearly been the scene of a far diff
ierent tragedy, saw lights in the window. The
sound of my horses hoofs drew the attention of
the man within, who had assembled to see what
had become of me and to ascertain the cause of
his comrades death and instantly levelling a
rifle at me, he fired. As 1 was looking at him
at the very moment, l anticipated his action and
clapped the spurs TO my horse, thereby some
what disconcerting his aim. and in all proba
biity saving my life, for the ball grazed my
shoulder, causing a scar which remains to this
day. Ten long miles had my good horse to gal
op before reached the nearest Justice of the
Peace, and returning as speedily as possible, we
found our birds flown and the house half burned
to the ground.
No Information in regard to them could be OBJ
tained except that they had lived in this habi-
tation about two years and had been Stunned
and feared by the settlers of the neighboring
country. The confagration of the house was
arrested, but nothing was discovered throwing
any light on the matter. The body of the foiled
murderer was taken, charred and scarcely re-
cog nizabe from the ashes of his dwelling, where
he had apparently been flung by his associates,
as the quickest mode of burying him. Having
ascortained the futility offurther investigation,
at least for the present,we rode away and pass
ing through an adjacent wood, the dog which
had played so strange part in this most strange
drama made his appearance suddenly on ouI
left and followed our horses to the village of R.
In gratitude for his effors to preserve me from
destruction, henceforth shared my home with
my unWecOme monitor.

The Cation Question.

A late number of the Savannah Ne,rS speaks
OF the enormous moncyed power to be attained
by the traitors, from the sale of 600, GOO bales
of cotton, when Great Britain shall have opened
the blockade of the Southern ports. The ques-
ton arises, What if Great Britain should keep
hands off, and not modest the blockade at all
Will the owners of the a 000,0 coo bales refuse to
let their cotton go through the ports Of loyal
States, to reach The markets of he world Will
they actually consent to starye, rather than
permit their staple to ps&s up the Mississippi or
through the interior, by railroad routes, to Phil
adelpbia, New York, Boston and Montreal
We observe that there is some silly uneasiness
felt in certain quarters, by those who fear that
the planters in the height fmadness, win refuse
to part with their cotton unless it shall 60
straight through Charleston, Savannah, Mobile
and New Orleans under the clearances of JEFF
feIson Davis Government. If the question was
whether the planters would 90 on and put mp
4,0OO000 bales of cotton in marketable cOndi-
ton, and then deliberately set fire to it, no one
would deem it worth while to argue such an
absurdity. Yet this is precisely what is embrace
ed in the former proposition The South has
gone into the culture of cotton, almost to the
exclusion of all other forms of industry The
destruction Of the cotton crop for a single year
is the destruction Of the South They cannot
manufacture pound, and If they could, could
not exchange their manufactures for the prod
ucts ofother countries, except through Northern
ports. They cannot cat it. They car do moth
ing with it but sell it. How shall they sell it,
No one has ever Contemplated such Il block
ade of the South as should keep the cotton crop
in statu qno. But the route which the coming
crop shall take is now wholly at the discretion
Of the Government. The rebels have brought
the trouble upon themselves. Selling the Gus
tom houses of all their ports Of entry, and nulli
flying the maritime laws, not only of their own
country, but of the world, they have not Only
invited, but forced tho very state of things by
which they are now enyironed. Until rebellion
is crushed-until United States collectors are al
lowed to perform their duties at Charleston,Sa-
vannah and New Orleans the cotton crop must
either come up the Mississippi, and reach the
ocean by lake or railroad, or it must rot in the
hands of those who cultivate it, The planters
can take their choice.
There is singular justice in this condition.
The seeding States have entaiIed enormous
losses upon US by Reputation. Now let them
use our railroads, our warehouses, our vessels
and our ports to carry Off their only article OF
foreign bound commerce. The Mississippi Riv-
err the Illinois Central Railroad, the Illinois andl
Michigan Canal, the great lakes, and the Inul
titude Of inland routes which the North affords,
will suffice to carry of their 100000 bales,
and By these routes Aey must gO.or not go at all.
