THAT SUPPER TO PRENTICE Some silly
statements are going the round of the papers
in relation to certain declarations said to
have been made by Secretaries Cameron and
Smith on the contraband" question, at the
supper given to George D. Prentice in Wash
iugton, the other night. 1t is alleged that
General Cameron reiterated the statement
falsely attributed to him on a previous occa-
sion, in reference to the policy of putting
arms into the hands of the Southern negroes.
We have the best reasons for believing that
no such sentiments dropped from Mr.. Came
ron. The Government is undoubtedly ready
to employ the services of the slaves Of rebel
masters whenever they are offered; but it is
to put the spade and the hoe, and not mus
kets, in their hands. This being the only
policy that has been advocated by General
Cameron, it follows that the assertion that
Secretary Smith disavowed it on the part of
the other members of the Cabinet is as un-
founded as the declarations attributed to the
former. The object of these misrepresenta-
tions is evident. They are circulated to
make it appear that there are differences in
the Cabinet on this question of arming the
slaves, when, in fact, its members are a unit
against such a step.-New York Herald.

Fremont DEMONSTRATION AT TuR,

FREMONT DEMONSTRATION AT TURNER
HALL Germans turned out en- masse
on Saturday night to express their senti-
ments upon the subject of the removal of
Major General John Fremont from the
Department Of the West. A. Bauer was
called TO the Chair and +. Werner chosen
Secretary. yf.
Speeches were made in German by Judge
Stallo Mr.. Eisenlohr and others.
A committee Of five, appointed for the
purpose, reported the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted:
"WHEREAs, II is the duty Of a free people
never, under any circumstances, to relin-
quish the right Of criticising its Administra-
ton.
"WHEREAs, Fremont, in the opinion of the
people, is the best representative OF popular
political aims and the most energetical pros
ecution Of the war.
"WHEREAs, further, The cowardly and uu-
worthy means by which the Government
effected the removal Of Fremont iusties
the people in the worst fears of the designs
ard qualifications of the Administration.
Wherefore, ResoIUed, That this removal is
a sad blow to the Republic, and for that res.
son the more to be Teprehended, because 1t
acts in the most dishearteniDg manner upon
the patriotism Of the people, and encourages
the rebellion to renewed outrages, as the
ravages and burning in Missouri plainly
show.
Further be il Resolued, That Fremont, not
witbstanding his removal, has our fullest
| sympathy and confidence, and that we, as
| adopted citizens, are specially indebted to
| him for his unprejudiCed department toward
| foreign born citizens.
| Judge Stallo introduced Rev. NJ. D. Con-
way, who made quite lengthy speech laud-
atory of Fremont for his famous procama-
ton, and denunciatory of the Administration
| for his removal.
We have heretofore published lengthy
report of the Rev. gentleman's views upon
this subject. He was particularly severe
| upon those Generals who considered them
selves commissioned to execute the Fugitive
| slave Law or to recognize the institution o.
slavery in their several departments, men,
tioDing among others Dix, Sherman and
Halleck.

Our Troops in Western vlrsinia.

A. d. Bullock Assistant Quartermaster-
Ger eral of Ohio, and VIM. Heavier, Q. f.
Wilstach and Eli @. Baldwin, the two latter
gentlemen representing the Citizens Dona-
tion Committee, returned to the city on Sat
urday, from visit to all our camps in West
ern Virginia. ..... ....
Captain Bullock reports that, in accord
ance with his instructions, he visited Camp
Red House, Camp Enyart, Camp Gauley,
Camp Grafton, Camp Kelly and Camp ROM
ney. He was also at Webster, Phllippi, Bev-
eriy, Huttonville and Cheat Mountain Sum-
mir, the last. named place being the head
quarters of Generals Reynolds and Milroy.
He made pretty minute examination of the
condition of the volunteers, letting nothing
escape him that he thought worthy of inspec--
ton. He found the troops were furnished
with inferior shoes, himsy, and i'll intended
for that rocky region. The blankets used
10y the men are light, and easily penetrated
by dampness and water. The soldiers were
sadly in want of socks, which appear to be
the most perishable article of wearing ap.
parel, and Captain Bullock recommends that
if donations of clothing are made by our
citizens it should always be of wooden tex
turs. The rubber coat will not do; its close
ness provokes perspiration, and colds are
sure 70 follow.
But the India rubber blanket, answering
the double purpose of cape and blanket, ia
one of the best articles the men can be pro-
vided with.
In many instances Captain Bullock
found the horses in miserable condition
the amount of oats (twelve pounds) allow wed
them being insufficient Already hundreds
of them are mere tottering skeletons, and
they will soon perish by thousands.
The committee passed five regiments-the
Fifteenth and Seventeenth Indiana, and the
Third, Sixth and Twenty fourth 0hio---or

road, to move into Kentucky.
The official report of this committee viii
