The Springfield Mo- correspon dent of the
New York Times gives Al amusing account OF
the state OF affairs at Springfield INN adia tey
preceding and following The removal OF Fro

the peru-al OF or readers:
THE RRHuyAL.
'Lata on Saturday night one OF three. mes
sensers sent forward by Gel. Leonard sweet
from 81. Louis, succeeded in eiuding the yigi-
lance OF the guards stationed to prevent &C
cess 10 Gen. Fremont's headquarters and
from " ashingion.
Upon this there WAS, of course, unuttera-
bic CONSERVATION aud commotinn in and
around heaGquarter and it appeared doubt
tut Tor seVerl hours what course General
Fremont would pursue Many of his leading
personal adherente, chiefly of the Teu tonic
stripe. were IN favor of disregardiug the Tt
moVai, and refusing TO recognize Gen. Hun
tar's appOlutment-a course which, if they
had persisted in, tand it was not aban-
doned till late last evening would have
caused a very considerable row, for Gen.
Hunter Is not the sort Of man it would be
safe to trifie with.
In the end, however, wiser councils pre-
vailed, Gems. Siegel and Asboth both refusing
900 yfly ans = va n ha al in, thn
tiny: and Gen Fremont, it must be SAID,
either not knowing anything OF the contem
plated movements, or opposing them, as In
duty bound, with all his force. On this
point, however, We are in the dark. Certain
only it is that council, now known as the
Council of INSTRUMENTATION - was held last
evening" only a few hours before Gen. Hun
ters arriy ~ that regular invitations 10 il
had been issued, and that the affair looked
very threatening until suppressed by the EN-
phatic couI SO Of Gen. Siegel''
THE THEATRICAL BATTLE.
Dozens of messengers were forth
with posted Off in all dire ttions. These mis-
sives represen ted thai Price with 40 900 men
was within ten or twelve miles OF Sprin gfie,d
The informants added that the pickets of the
eAemy could be seen by the National pickets
the south side of Springfield, and that
thousands OF Union men and their families
were foching in for protection. So widely
had this report been circul ated and credited,
that a regular panic existed throughout the
taking the road to Bolivar, Bnffalo and
Rolla on the ruL, while portions, also-end
these not small of the newly raised ard dis
affected soldtery gave plain signs OF "undna
excitement"
These dispatch men bore, also, the astound-
ing news that Gen. Fremont had concluded
to leave Springfield on Sunday morning,
without waiting for tha arrival Of his success
sor This afterwards proved to be partly
true and partly false, Gen. Fremont with his
body guard and personal retainers, having
actually started on the road 10 Rolla yestsr-
day morning, and advanced ten miles on his
way. But again, the soosr second thought
stepped in to save him, and he returned To
Springfield in the afternoon, remaining until
this morning.
Immediately on receiving news of his ap.
poiu Gen. Hunter himself pushed on
10 Springfield with three companies OF the
lst Missouri cavalry, distance of y miles,
and over the most eNecrabie roads ever .eeu.
All the way along the line, as have been in
formed, by mem Der of The escort, fresh, and
yet fresh dispatches, were poured into his
hands, all -'piiins up the agony so 10 speak,
about the danger Of SpTiG giieid, and the GER
tainty that the lace woald be- az lacked by
overwhelming number. before early daylight
this morning. Special messenger, on foam
ing steeds, dashed ont OF all the dark bride
paths, through the woods, carrying the dis
NAL tidings of near disaster TO the new incuut-
bent OF the Western department. Never be-.
fore were seen such ioug faces on ANY order
lies, express riders, or military gnides Each
added some new particulars to the sketch OF
general dislnay, so that as Gen. Hunter rode
along in hot haste, (theugh still good deal
fncred uious) his escort~nvere listening, with
strained ears, for the first heavy guns that
would announce the commencement of the
ombardment and capture OF Springfield By
the rebels.
These things are only mentioned to serys as

were Just about to win" Never was there
