CINCINNATI, Oct lS.-The Gazette editorially
says when the Secretary Of War went to St
l.ous, he carried order of the President to
Fremont, removing him from the command OF
the Western Department, and instructng him to
transfer it to Gen. Hunter. The delivery of this
order was left to the discretion OF the Secretary
OF War. His visit to the Western Department.,
convinced him that change in the command is
imperatve|y required, and he presented the or
der to Fremont, who asked the delay of few
DAYS in the execution of the order, but his reno
gal is decided npop to take place next week, and
will probably be made Tuesday. The Secretary
Of War also ordered notifications to be made in
Fremont's operations at St. Louis in respect to
