WHAT FREMoAT Is TO BRING.-Col. Fremont
expects 10 bring home with him arms and &C.
coutrements for 10000 men. His contract
reaches S25O,OOO. The first purchase he made
reached $4,000, aud, what is curious, they
were Enfield rifles, bombs, percussion caps and
other articles belonging to the Pope. They
had been prepared on contract for the Papal
army, but on account of the defeat of Lamori-
cicre, had it is said, never been delivered.

THF PAY AND Pension OF our VOLUNTEERS
The following recapitulation affords useful
information to the volunteers and their families;
LIST After being mustered into the service of
the United States, volunteers are entitled to
pay, the same as regular troops.
End If disabled by wounds received in service
or disease contracted in service, they are cntit.
led to an invalid pention during life, or as the
disability continues
3rd. If any are killed or die in the service of
the Uuited States leaving a widow, she is ent
tied to what pay was due her husband, and pen
sion. If there is no window, the child of such
volunteer is entitled to the pay and pension
until they are sixteen years of age.
4th. If there is no widow, or child ,under six.
teen years Of age, the other heirs Of decedent
are entitled to the pay due the volunteer at the
time Of his death-no pension. At this time
neither the volunteer nor any heirs is entitled to
any land warrants, bat there is no doubt an act
of Congress will be passed early in July, grant
ing one hundred and sixty acres to every vOluD-
ter who shall serve fourteen days or engage in
battle and be honOrably discharged-frst to the
widow, second to the children, third TO the
mother, fourth to the father, and if oil the
the foregoing heirs be dead, fifth to the brothers
aud sisters Of those who may so serve and die
without receiving warrant, in like manner as
the volunteers who served in Mexico are now re-
warded. Seamen aud Others who take prizes
and those performing meritorious feats will IN
doubtedly be rewarded with the fruits Of theiI
valor. Those patriotic men and women who
suffer from robbery in the slave states under the
name OF con6scaton, will almost certainly be
rewarded, according TO the scripture rule, four.
fold from the property Of the rebels-all state
confscations being wholly illegal-and mere
organized piracy will be punished, and Congress:
will undoubtedly pass proper and effectual &C
whereby the United States Courts will TAXI
from the unfatbful and unjust stewards wha
property they may have, and give it TO tht
faithful and true servants.
5th. In addition to what the volunteers and
heirs are entitled to and may become entitled
to from the u S. the several States have passct

A DoDGE.-It has leaked out among Virgin
ia Seeessonists that the removal of the Confed-

to win over the wavering in the State to the

There was no intention to make Richmond the
place of permanent occupancy ; the object being
to "secede" at their convenience whenever it
was for the interest of the leaders to do so.

The HOpeIessness OF the Rebel Cause-ID-
posing strength OF seOtps Position.


When Gen. Scott shall have completed
his preparations aud dispositions, there will
be such tremendous preponderance on the
side of the Federal forces at ever point that
it would seem not unlikely that the rebell-
ion will be crushed out without any serious
sacrifice of life. There is no doubt of the
desperation of the rebels, and of their de-
termination to prolong the contest, in the
hope that the North will become wearled,
or be deluded into seme plan of compromise,
But we can and should by vigorous use
of the enormous resources which patriotic
and united people has placed at the COM
mand of our Government, crush the rebel
lion by the mere weight of our columns.
The forces now concentrating upon Manas-
sas Junction and Norfolk would seem TO
leave them no choice but to reenact the
game of Harper's Ferry at both these points
and finally at Richmond, which city, ac'
cording to the most reliable accounts, is
without any considerable defenses, and can
offer no serious opposition to the advance oI
a well-appOinted army of $4,000 men.
1t is not unreasonable to anticipate that
by the lst Of November next the Federal
forces will be in occupation OF every consld'
cradle port and every point Of stragetic lm'
portance in the Rebel States. Not bale
Of cotton, not tierce of rice, nor hogs
head of tobacco will be able to leave
Southern port, nor box Of goods or sup
! plies Of any kind TO reach those states, ex
cept through the legally constituted chan
nels of commerce, receiving clearness IRON
