Federal Pickets DOubied-Why Fremont
Did Not Help Mul;Igan, &C.

WASHINGTON, September 25.-A Herald
dispatch says that the pickets along our
whole line are doubled tonight, in order to
be fully prepared for any movement that
may be attempted on the other side.
No passes whatever are to be issued to-
morrow to visitors to the other side of the
Potomac. ,...
learned to day the confirmation of fact
which throws some light on the Fremont
affair, and which will 90 far toward exhon-
Grating the General, and which explains why
be was unable to send re-enforeements to
Colonel Mulligan. By the middle of this
month, General Mcclellan had all the troops
here that he wanted, and more than be could
possibly use, yet about the 18th inst. the
War Department sent orders to General
Fremont to send here Immediately six regi-
ments of Illinois troops, which were at that
time at st. Louis. These regiments had been
organized for some time, and had been long
in the field, and were in all respects the best
disciplined and best drilled soldiers under
Fremonts command.
1t is useless to deny that Fremont re-
eeiyed the order with surprise and executed
it with reluctance, but he ordered it i'm.
medistely without a moments hesitation
General McO,tilan has no use for the troop!
here, and they !. ~ have to be put into camI
by themselves and Brigadier General ap
pointed for them. If they had been sent ~
the Missouri River to Lexington, Colone
Mulligan would never have surrendered.
AS three of our gun boats were passing the
mouth of Occoquan River last night rebel
battery at Stony Point opened fire on them
The fire was returned with spirit but the
boats were considerably cut up, and were
obliged to haul off.

From the Upper POTOMAC.

DARNEsTowN, MD.S September 26,-The
latest advices from the Upper Potomac state
that Captain Cunes, formerly OF the rebel
army, was at Dam No. 4, with company of
loyal Virginians performing picket duty. At
Williamsport and Hagerstown, eur forces
have been considerably strengthened. On
the Virginia side of the river from Harper's
Ferry to Dam No. 5, there were about four
hundred rebels. 1t is said that Captain Hen
derson was recently killed in Jefferson Coun-
ty, by one of his privates named Mailer.
There are about five hundred foot soldiers
in and around Martinsburg, but they were
generally employed taking up the track of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from Ape
quan Bridge to Dufield's Station, distance
of twelve miles, and six miles above Harper's
Ferry. The rebels have succeeded in carry
ing off three new locOmitives, and were en-
gagged in taking to pieces four others. The
locomotives, as well as the iron rails, have
been dropped at Stephenson's Station, the
nearest point on the Harper's Ferry and Win
chester Railroad. Nothing has been done
toward laying the track from Winchester to
Strasburg, on the Manassas Road.
At Charlestown there were but two COM
panies of rebel militia, who were being used
as laborers.
At Winchester there are from three to foul
thousand rebel militia, halfclothed, half-shoC
and half-starved. They are also being uset
as laborers.
Their condition is deplorable in the extreme
and they perform the duties required of then
with the greatest reluctance. ey
General Johnston was at Lees Farquial
Sulphur Springs, where he had been staying
several days for his health. OF this fact there
can be no doubt.
The general impression among the people
in Winchester and Charlestown was that thu
time for crossing into Maryland had passed
and that no attempt to do SO would be made

Especial Dispatch to the st. Louis Republican,
JEFFERSON CRY, September 26.-Captain
Saggen of the Twenty-fifth Illinois has ar
rived from Otterville where he heard yester-
day that Claib. Jackson was advancing on
Bonneville with ten thousand men, and Price
was marching toward Georgetown with
about twenty thousand. The army at Lex
ipgton having been divided for that purpose.
General Davis is in command of our forces
at Georgetown, where large number of
troops can be concentrated in short time.
The rebels were reported moving forward
to burn the Lemine bridge again, but it was
well defended. ...
Scouting parties were reported near Boone
vile last night.
General Sigel went west from here to. day.
Ex. Governor King and Judge Ryland have
been released by the rebels.
Nothing reliable has been ascertained as to
the whereabouts of Ben MoOulloch.
Two of the crew Of the steamer Clara Bell
| have arrived from Bonneville. They report
that Colonel Mulligan took possession of the
| Clara Bell and about one third of her cargo
| on the 18th, and then ordered her to drop
down opposite his intrenchments. She was
afterward captured by the rebels and the re-.
mainder of her cargo seized. She was loaded
with merchandise for Santa Fe.
No considerable number of Prices troops
had left Lexington on Tuesday. No batter
les were seen on the river bank between
Lexington and Bonneville.
General Sturgis, with one thousand one
hundred men, reached point six miles from
Lexington on the 18th, but learning that
some five thousand of Prices rebels were
stationed in the woods skirting the river,
waiting his approach, he marched to Liberty
and thence to Kansas City.
Reports, which are regarded reliable, say
that Colonel Montgomery, of General Lanes
command, attacked 0sceols, St. Clair County,
Friday last, burned the town by shelling it,
and repulsed a large force of rebels.
There are said to be about four thousand

NEW YORK, September 26.-General Free
mont, day or two since, made a requisition
of $500, 600, to be paid Immediately on ac-
count OF purchases of ordnance and ordnance
stores in st. Louis.
General Ripley especially reported to-day
upon this application;
First, that no authority whatever was
taken in the Ordnance Bureau for General
Fremont's making the purchase. =.
Second, that vouchers accompanying the
application show that excessive prices were
paid for many of the articles. 'o ~,
There is no evidence from General Fre-
monts command that these arms have under
gone inspection by United States officer, or
any inspection at all. -s-r r-g .....r
Finally, General Riley reports that unless
purchases and expenditures like these of Cen
eral Fremonts are regulated and restricted
by the War Department the liberal appro-
| pfiations of Congress will be wholly insufti-
cient to meet the liabilities that can be called
! up against the Government.

Adjutant. General of lowe

The OLD AND THE NBw.-The Prairie du-
Chen Leader has been turning up the rem
iniscences of the past which cluster around
Fort Crawford, and calling the roll of some
of the actors in the present war, who once
figured there. We extract:
Colonel Pegram, the rebel General, taken
in Western Virginia, was here. He had a
beautiful Indian squaw as mistress while
here, and by her a son, who is now alive,
almost man grown, and when last heard
from was at Green Bay. General Lyon, the
hero of Missouri, whose death is now la
mented everywhere, was once stationed here
as Captain. General Sumner was also here
at the same time, as Captain. OF course
everybody knows old Zack was here. JEFF
Davis was here as a Lieutenant, and it was
here that he was married to General Taylor's
daughter. There is no truth in the story
that he ran off with her. They were mar
ried with tho consent Of her parents, by the
late Judge Lockwood, Of Prairie, .du-C Chien,
in an old house that stood on the ground
now occupied by Mrs. Hoes house, near the
garrison.
