MOVEMENTS OF GEN. FREMONT.

A special dispatch to the ST. Louis Republi-
can from Camp Richardson, Bolivar, Polk
county, NO., Oct. 26, states that Gen. Fremont
and staff arrived at Bolivar, Polk county, six
teen miles from Camp Morrisy, and encamped
this evening on the outskirts of the town.
Bolivar, like nearly all the towns in southern
Missouri, is almost entirely deserted-the stores
being all closed, and many of the houses aban-
dOned. 1t is now ascertained that the loss of
Fremont's body guard in the brilliant charge
at Springfield, was six to eight killed, and some
fifteen to twenty wounded. A number of most
brilliant instances of daring were shown on our
side. One sergeant had three horses shot from
under him, and rebel placed pistol to Sea.

General John B. Henderson of the State

rebels at Dyer's mills near Concord, by
which he commanded the United States
troops not to make any arrests if the rebels
would lay down their arms and return to

AN On WELL ON F1RE.-Last week, in
Venangeleo, Pennsylvania, an oil well ex-
ploded. The scene is thus described by an
informant OF the Rochester Democrat >:
The men who were boring suddenly
struck oil at depth Of about four hundred
feet, and before they could withdraw the
drill, or extinguish the fire under the boiler
of steam engine used to work the boring
apparatus, an immense jet Of oil and gas,
mingled, sprang into the air. The gas was
forced in lateral direction, far enough to
communicate with the flames in the furnace,
and an explosion Of terrific violence took
place. A perfect sheet OF fame for q mo-
ment overspread the earth for some distance
around, and then the ascending column of
oil took fire. Inc spectacle was inconceiv.
ably grand and imposing, particularly after
nightfall. The force Of the jet was such as
to send the oil to height Of one hundred
and fifty feet. It was literally q fountain

sKlRMIsH1NG ON THE LOWER POTOMAC.
Herald's Dispatch. -WAsHINGToN, Oct.
29.-Information was received here to day
from the Lower Potomac that the rebel
steamer Page crossed the river with large
force on Monday, from Shipping Point, and
entered Chicamoxea river. The rebels did
not disembark, but boat containing twenty
men left the steamer and went to a schooner
lying at anchor in the river near by. The
Captain of the steamer questioned the crew
as to the strength and position Of our forces,
but without molesting the vessel the boat
proceeded to the south shore of the river,
landed, and would have been bagged by
Taylors Sd New York regiment, that
was bivouacked in the woods near by, but
for the accidental blast of bugle. The
rebels became alarmed, took to the boat,
and as soon as they reached the steamer she
moved out into the Potomac, throwing
shells in every direction along the Maryland
shore without doing any mischief. The
steamer went over to Virginia and did not
return during the day.
Yesterday one of our steamers opened fire
on . rebel battery below Acuuia Greek.
The rebels returned the FIRE with consider
able energy. A large number of rebels
appeared on the ramparts. The steamer
after engaging the battery for some half an
hour, steamed up the river. This engage.

shore, and reached Us by . messenger from

REPORT OF ADJUTANT GENERAL
THOMAS

The New York tribune publishes q
lengthy report of Adjutant General Thom-
as, in regard to Fremonts case. It can be
summed up in the statement that Gen. Hun.
ter, his second in command, gave reluc-
tant opinion that Fremont was incompetent
for his extensive command. This also is the
concurrent testimony of large number of
the most intelligent men in MISSOURI.
Full details were given of all operations
in Missouri, and the report states that
Fremont's order to march was issued to
an army Of nearly 10000, many of the
regiments being badly equipped, with in.
adequate supplies of ammunition, clothing
and transportation.

dy, who has just arrived at Sedalia from Pri.
ce's army, says that Prices men are much dis
satisfied at the prospect of leaving the State.
and that they will force him to make stand

forces, and that before leaving that State, he
sent couriers to Price and McCulloch, directing
them to fall back into Arkansas, and not give
Fremont battle until he could reach them,
