WASHINGTON. October s,

W hDh uiO4N3 OOtODcT o.
There was another protracted Cabinet
council held last evening, in the matter of
General Fremont's operations in Missouri,
at which Gen. Scott and Gen. Mcclellan
were present. The result is of course un-
known, but there is no Disgusting the fact
that the whole matter is an exceedingly
troublesome one, and that notwithstanding
the clamor of his friends, Gen. Fremont
has not the confidence either of the Presi-
dent or the Cabinet. Fresh evidences of
mismanagement and corruption are being
daily brought to light, and Secretary
Chase pointcdly declares his belief that the
continuance Of Gen. Fremont in command
in Missouri is positive evil
The difficulties in the way, and an in,
disposition to bring about an open rupture,
alone influence the President to continue
Gen. Fremont in his command; but mis-
management is so apparent, that all his
financial operations are to be subjected to
immediate supervision; and very shortly,
also, the direction of military affairs in
Missouri, will pass into other hands. Much
depends upon what Gen. Fremont can ac-
complish in the next ten days.
Meantime the Government refuses to
recognise his commissions. Hon. Mr.. Cur
ley, now here, has been raising several
regiments in Ohio and Missouri by the
authority of General Fremont, but now
finds that Gen. Fremonts commissions are
worthless. The same is the case with
many other officers, many of whom have
been engaged in large purchases of cloth
ing and equipments. The department
recognizes neither their commissions or
expenditures.
This, however, is only the beginning of
the difficulty, which is being daily aggra-
waited by the efforts of the opposing parties.
General Strong, who left yesterday for
St. Louis, is to take position as chief of
Gen. Fremont's staff, and is charged with
the duty of supervising and investigating
all contracts.
The prejudice of many of Gen. Ere
monts friends against Gen. Wool, may yet
induce his retention in the East.
1t is reported to day that Gen. Harvey
has been summoned to Washington.

this color, and after his revolt from Po.

Great Demonstration in Serene,

|
On Friday afternoon last, according tc
a previous announcement, q Democratic
Meeting was held in Serene. A large
number of Democrats from the Northern
part Of Columbia County assembled at
Leggott's Hotel. Three military com.
panics under command of Captains G.. w.
Utt, A. s. Ikeler, and j. Mcllick, were in
attendance and in uniform.
About half past 2 o'clock the crowd
formed in procession, led by the Military
companies, with flags floating to the breeze
and drums bceting, marched to the grove
near by, where all preparations had been
made for the accommodation of the au.
dience. The speakers stand had been
tastefully decorated by the ladies.
On motion, JACOB EVANS was chosen
President of the meeting, and Mcssrs.
Robert Robbins, Samuel Gregg, David
Demott, John Mordon, Samuel johnson
Henry Kitchen, Samuel Kisner, Esq
Isaac lkelcr, Thomas A. Funston, John
Runyan, Geo. W. UT, John H. Parker,
and Henry Eyer, were selected to act as
Vice Presidents; E. r. Ikolcr, and Eph-
riam kcster were appointed Secretaries
OF the Meeting. The audience was called
to order by the President. Col. John G.
Freeze, of Bloomsbury, being called upon
addressed the meeting for over an hour
in an earnest, mastery and prtriotic man
ner. Proved by their own speeches and
papers that the Abolition wing of the Re-
publican party have been and still are
disunlonists, also that it is the duty of the
Democrats and the Unionloving Republi-
cans to crush rebellion in the South and
Abolitionism in the North, in order 10 re-
construct our once glorious Union. He
closed by denouncing the outrages per-
petrated upon the freedom of speech and
Of the press.
Col. l.. i. Tate was then called out,
but refused entering into lengthy speech,
only casting off the false charges which
had been piled upon him by his political
opponents, which he did with earncstncss
and candor, and to the entire satisfaction
Of all present.
Hon. Paul Lcidy of Danyillo, Montour
county, was next called, and in a plain,
brief, explicit and able speech reviewed
the past and present position of the Demo
cratic party, proving that our battles are
fought under Democratic leaders, also re-
viewing the political parties of the present
day, and arguing that the Democrats are
willing to unite with the Republicans in
the support of the Administration in all
its proper measures for prosecuting the
war, and had and would unite with them
in fighting the battles of this country side
by side, but could net, and would not
unite with them upon a political platform.
Mr.. Chalfant Of Danville, was next call.

WASuINGTON, Oct. 6

The great attraction to-day was the
great review Of several thousand light ar
tillcry and cavalry, on the parade ground
east OF the Capitol, by Geu, Mcclellan
The display was truly imposing and drew
together an immense crowd of visitors.
There was in line, in addition to the
cavalry, some twenty batteries of artillery,
numbering one hundred and twelve guns.
The efficiency aud complete equipment
of the troops, was source of universal
satisfaction.
