Letter from Gen. Fremont.

a'ttI ST. LOUIS, Sept. ~.
The following letter will appear in
the Democrat to morrow. Just before
leaving the city Gen. Fremont wrote a
letter to friend in New York. We
have succeeded in obtaining a copy
which, as it relates to public affairs, and
possesses at this time peculiar interest,
we commit no improperly in bringing
II before our readers:
est. LOUIS, Sept. 26.
MY Dear Sir::-I leave at o'clock
in the morning, and send you this
hurried note in the midst of the last
arrangements before starting. We
have to contend with an enemy having
no posts to garrison and no lines of
transportation to defend or guard,
whose whole force can be turned at
will to any one point, while we have
from Leavenworth to Cairo and from
Fl. Scott to Paducah TO protect. /
wish to say to you that though the
POSITIONS difficult, l am competent to it,
and to the enemy in the field, though, /
am not able at the same time, to attend
to the enemy at home. 1t is shame to
the country that an officer, going to the
field, has his life in his hand, solely
actuated by the desire to serve his
country and win for himself its good
opinion with no other object, should
be destroyed by system of concerted
attacks utterly without foundation.
Charges are spoken of, when there arc
no charges,-explanations when there
are none to be made. What is the
object of the repetition of these false
hoods, except to familiarize the public
mind to the idea that something is
wrong. Already our credit, which was
good, is shaken in consequence of the
newspaper intimations of my being re-
moved. Money is now demanded by
those furnishing supplies. To defend
myself now would require the time that
is necessary to and belongs to my duty
against the enemy. If permitted by
the country, this state of things will
not fail to bring on disasters. But
never would have been attacked in my
capacity as an individual; l am an
exponent of part of the force of the
nation directed against the.enemy of
the country; everything that is directed
against me is directed against it, and
gives its enemy aid and comfort. My
private character comes in only Incl.
dentaly. / defend it because naturally
his reputation is dear to any man, but
only incidentally. This is the founda-
ton of many of my acts, and will be
if / stay here. Everything that hurts,
impedes or embarasses the work intrust-
ed to me, / strike at without hesitation.
i take the consequences. The worst
that can happen to me is relief from
great labor. Yours truly,
(Signed j. c. FREMONT.

wounded. Capt. Gleeson was shot
through the jaw and badly wounded.
The gallant Montgomery made many
of the Texans bite the dust. This
fight was very fierce. Some of the
sick were actually bayoneted or sabred
in their cots. Rev. Father Butler, an
esteemed Catholic clergyman of this
city and the chaplain of the Irish Bri-
gade, was wounded in the forehead by
a ball which passed across it,, laying
open the skin. He was taken prisoner.
as was also DR.. Wisner, surgeon of the
Brigade, thus depriving the regiment
of the valuable service of both, during
the dark and trying days that followed,
preceding the surrender.
The issue of the 18th warned the
enemy that they had task before them
which was no easy one, and they COM
menced on Friday morning a new sys-
tenn of approaches. They secured the
entire region for its staple, hemp in
bales. These were thoroughly wetted
as a safeguard against red-hot shot,
and then were skillfnlly used to mask
the batteries of the rebels, and rolled
forward as they made their advance.
The fight went on thus for several
days. the enemy bringing more of their
artillery into action. Following the
skirmish of Thursday, Mulligan or
dered portion of the old town on the
east to be burnt to prevent the rebels
from gaining therefrom the advantage
OF shelter. Meanwhile, the little gar
rison already worn by labor on the en-
trenchments, began to look eagerly for
the coming of reinforcements-

many of them wept to leave behind
their colors, each company in the Bri-
gade having its own standard presented
to it by its friends. At the surrender
the muster rolls of the companies were
taken to Gen. Prices headquarters, the
list of officers made out, and then or
dered to report themselves as prisoners
of war.
The scenes at the capitulation were
extraordinary. Col. Mulligan shed
tears. The men threw themselves upon
the ground, raved and stormed in well
nigh frenzy, demanding to be led ont
again and finish the thing" In Col.
Marshall's Cavalry Regiment the feel
ing was equally great. Much havoc
had already been done among their
horses during the seige, and but little
more than half of them remained.
Numbers of the privates actually shot
their horses dead on the spot, unwilling
that their companions in the campaign
should now fall into the enemy's hands.
The privates, numbering some 1900
strong, were first made to take the oath
not to serve against the Confederate
States, when they were put across the
river and in charge of Gen. Rains,
marched on Saturday night to Rich
mond, l6 miles, whence on Sunday
they marched to Hamilton, station on
the Hannibal and ST. Joseph Railroad,
where they were declared free to go
where they pleased.
While on this march they expert

The money market vas unusually dufet to-day.
The most prominent was a good demand for first
class commercial paper at the rate Of 100t2 yet,
with q still better demand for mortgage paper at
the rate of 100I1. The movements in and about
the banks were light chiefly confined to exchange
transactions. Sore few discounts were granted
but the business Of the city is rapidly approach
ing the hand-tc-hand SYSTEM that's, sales and pay
ment the same day, there appears very slight pros
poets for capitalists for the present, to realize
half Of their anticipations. They will make much
better collections than expected. The suspended
houses, or the most of them, are paying up with
cammendable faithfulness. sThe failures have been
80 few and far between az scarcely to be worthy
of thought. Ont of the sxty-f7e suspensions of
the twelve hundred merchants and dealers, there
will not be dozen but what will pay in full under
another crop. There will be some Flemish bal

up and support lettering firms and connections in
other places, or in the case Of drawing post the

which are presented, smilingly looked at and are

and then called failures in New Orleans. In
the meantime, the branches and sprouts of North

baton, are daily calling and Fostering our banks
for discounts to sustain and keep their principals

banks to discard the snivelling system of discount
