SPRINGFIELD, Nov. 2.--Gen. Fremont has issued
the following farewell order to the troops:
HEADQUARTERS, WESTERN DEPARTMENT.,
SrRNGFiELD No, Nov. 2, 1861.
Soldiers Of the Missouri army
Agreeably to orders this day |. take leave of you
Although our army has been of sudden growth, we
have grown up together, and have become fami-
liar with the brave and generous spirit, which you
bring to the defence of your country, and which
makes me anticipate for you brilliant career. Con-
tinue as you have begun and give to my successor,
the same cordial and enthusiastic support with
which YOU have encouraged me- Emulate the
splendid example which you havA already before
you and let me remain as | am, proud of the noble
army which had thus far labored to bring to-
gcther.
Soldiers regret to leave you most sincerely
thank you for the regard and confidence you have
invariably shown to me. / deeply regret that
shall not have the nonor TO lead you to the victory
which you are just about to win, but shall claim
to share with You in the joy of every triumph, and
trust always to be fraternally remembered by my
companions in arms.
Signed J. C. FREMONT,
Maj. Gen. U. s. Army.
The feeling ran intensely high during the whole
Of last evening and there were meetings almost
everywhere. The various bands serenaded the
General, and wherever he appeared, he was greeted
with cheers, Though after notifying Gen. Hunter
as his order directed, he had no longer command
over the troops, he spent several hours in making
personal examination of the ground about the city,
to be prepared for battle, and in accordance with
a written request from all the Brigadier Geuerals
here, he remained through the night, to lead the
army in case of an attack. All the troops slept on
their arms. Many officers remained up all night,
and an attack was hourly expected, but nothing
more occurred than the firing our pickets on two
different roads.
The enemy are now. encamped on the old Wilson
Creek battle ground. Gen Fremont is preparing
to leave for 81. Louis and will go as soon as Gen.
Pope arrives who has been sent for, and will take
command till Gen. Hunter gets here.
Universal gloom prevails throughout the camps.
A battle will undoubtedly occur ere long.
Our troops viii meet the enemy firmly, but they
are disheartened aud have lost their enthusiasm.
The body guard, who could not have been induced
to remain, aud who will now disband, as the terms
of their enlistment permit accompany Gen. Ere
mont, and also his entire staff including General
Ashboth, Commander Of the LIST Division. General
Fremont will permit no demonstration from the
troops on his departure.

Departure of Capt. Coles Company.

All the companies now encamped here
turned out yesterday morning, as did also the
Athens Guards, to escort the CASTOR Rifles to
the depot The display was good one, there
being from 500 to 600 men in the lines. There
were a large number ofladies at the cars to see
the gallant young Cole and his command take
their leave, and the waving of handllerchiefs
and the God bless you" uttered by the
"loved ones left behind" contributed largely
to the pleasures of the moment; and that COM
pany, we know, will never return to their re
Iatives and friends and the county of their ma
tivity without consciousness Of having done
their whole duty. Capt. Coles Lieutenants
are, Messrs Chadwick, Clark and W ethering-
ton. These young gentlemen all deserve much
credit for their energy in getting this company
prepared for service, and sincerely trust
that they as we'll as their men may be permit

upon their banner, to enjoy long and happy lives
amid the scenes of childhood and surrounded

Cant Colo left three sick men who were un-

n+bar companies now encamped here; and as
those brave men have left wives, mothers, Sis

drive back the miscreants who are now lnva-
ding our soil, little acts of kindness from the
fair ones among whom their lot may be tenn
porarilv cast will fall upon their hearts as the
evening dews upon the parched earth. The
ladies@& Newbern have shown themselves,
since the commencement of our present
troubles to be worthy descendants of the he
roic women of the Revolution, and we know it
is only necessary to call their attention to an
instance of suffering to have it relieved, IN SO
far as they can do it. Let each housekeeper
remember these poor sufferers, and send them
such delicacies as they know the sick need
These things will not be missed by you but
NAV be the means of saving the soldiers life; and
the consciousness of having ministered to the
wants ofthe afflicted and thus helped the cause
in which we are all engaged will give you an in
ward peace that the world cannoe take away

To this note the following patriotic response
was made by an officer of the company
To Misses Ciark, Wilson and Broohfe1d::
LADIES: From the very beginning of the
happy age of our country, that has been so
ruthlessly terminated have the poets sung and
history told, and proud hearts remembered
deeds of valor performed by our mothers, that
have made US reverence their memories and
strengthened that Unborn principle OF every
true neutrality-suspicious. Their daughters
of 1851 have proven true to the honest pride
of '7G and risen by thousands to aid with hand
and heart and soul in defeating those who, for
getting their country's honor and the mercy
of God would, Cain-ike, say their brethren
Ladies, can the Newbern Light Infantry thank
YOU too much or bless you more fervently than
we do for this memento Of your respect? No.
There is not heart among US that hath not
beat more ioyously, nor pulse that hath not
felt its blood quicken this day at the sugges-
ton made to every soul by the presentation Of
this silent representative ofeur country's hon
or and the patriotism fits daughters. Ladies,
upon your part you have done well AID with
the guidance and protection Of Almighty God,
and the remembrance of the outporing of your
noble souls in this cause we will confirm it.
You told us to 'guard it till our homes are
free" Oh! how hard will we try. This flag
shall be borne northward to meet its foe; but
every breeze that comes from the sunny South
shall commune with its folds and tell of anX-
ious but brave hearts at home.
Ladies, we again thank you, and though few
in numbers would remind you, that ours is the
motto of our glorious ancestry: "Liberty or
Death :"

OUR MECHANICS. The Lincoln Government

chanics by its blockade, that if the ratification

approval, there would be found few, if any,
votes against it. They are now busiy engaged
in making such articles a. usually were OBJ
tanned from the North, and are making in eve
ry respect better articles. One of our mach
nists, now filing a large order for Tennessee,
remarked a day or two ago, that ''if the block
ade continued for a much longer period the
South would be entirely independent of the
North.' Various agricultural implements are
now l<ng made in large quantities our shoe
makers are actively employed; our tai!ors

it cannot long be put off Our people must

THE LAW OF CLOTHING IN REGARD ~
VOLUNTEERS RECEIVED INTO THE
CONFEDERA SERVICE.

THE LAW OF CLOTHING IN REGARD TO
VOLUNTEERS RECEIVED INTO The
CONFEDERATE SERVICE.
Much misunderstanding seems to exist
among the volunteer forces called INTO the
Confederate service, in relation to the suG]ect Oh
clothes and clothing and yet the law OF Con
oress controlling the question is quire clear, and
admits of no two constructions Many Nolun-
teer companies, and Battallons and Regiments
entered the Confederate service With the lGea
that the War Department would supply all de-
fciences of clothing among them, and would
moreover, be prepared with future supplles 10
meet the accruing wants OF the soldiers ana,
consequently, are now suffering IN this res
ncct because of the want of proper information
in the beginning which their officers and the
State authorities should have given. The law
of CONGRESS. as set forth in the act ito pro-
vide for the public defence, reads as follows,
to-Wit:
"Said Volunteers shall furnish their own
clothes. When called into actual service and
while remaining therein, instead of clothing,
every non-comnlssloned officer ana prlVaee III
anv company shall be entitled to money, IN g
sum equal to the cost of clothing Of a non
commissioned officer or private in the regular
army of the Confederate States"
Bv this Iaa0 counters prOrtde at all times,
thei1. oecn clothing, and receire therefor COM
mutation IN money, and in the passage OF the
law, Congress evidently had in view those pub
lie exigencies that required large forces to be
thrown into the field while yet the Govern,
ment was in its infancy, and stood provided
with no regular Quarter Master organization:
We have been thus explicit because it is
highly desirable the matter should be thor
ouehiv understood as well among those troops
already in service as among those who are
daily expected to be called into service And
we think it would be we'll for the newspaper
press genearlly, to set forth, as we have done,
the subject in the light of the law, and the
