Col Marshall publishes card in the
st. Louis Democrat, retuting the charges
Of cowardice brought against him, saying
lac has demanded an investigation, and is
confident Of proving them false. Accom-
panying the card, is certificate signed
By Major jenkins, Captains Walter,
McNulte, Smith, and Mitchell, and Lieu
tenants Murray, Parks, Skillman, Dent,
and Blair, stating that they saw nothing
in COL Marshall's conduct lustitying the
charge of cowardice. They claim that all
hands sought cover at times, but Col Mar
shall was frequently seen encouraging his
men and doing his duty. The charges
against him for failure to provide cloth
ing, are declared groundless, as he made
repeated efforts to get clothing, but was
banked by the military authorities.

The following brief editorial of the
Springfield Ill. J Journal, is exactly to the
point, and We adopt it rs a very clear ex-
preston of our own views III the premises
The Press is all the time court martial

impatient and indignant people. At one
time it was Seward, then the Cabinet, then
Cameron and Welles, Gen. Scott and the
rest. Now ii is Fremont, and next week
it may be Mcclellan.
We observe general disposition on the
part OF the newspaper press at the pres
ent time to condemn Gen Fremont for
the surrender of Lexington. Even those
papers that have been loudest in his
praises and most blatant IN naming him
as their candidate for the next Presidency,
now demand his immediate removal. As
is we'll known, we have never allowed our
adlnra ton to Get ahead of our discretion
IN speaking of Gen. Fremont, but We very
much doubt the proprlety Of passing SEN
tence of condemnation upon him, whatev-
er the press or the people mean, until it
shall be shown that he is to blame In
reference to this Lexington misfortune.
We say, let there be prompt aud rigid in
