The Removal of Gen. Fremont.

Wlth sorrow, modification, and utter indigna tsaa, we learn of the removal of GENERAL JOHN C Fsxzoxr from the department of the West.
 The whole country will review the decision vstA bat enc feeling, and that of the same in seass indignation and chagrin.
 Ffenoat has been removed from some person ala,d political hatred.
 The eharges against him have been the most fivoauos and outrageous.
 Ad5atxnf Gen. Thomas has been sneaking srs1nd in Missouri, with the Secretary of War, pseking up here and there statements of the ene- 1ses of Fremont. Thurlow Weed, the most con- tszPtih'e villain and sneak and toady of Sew ed. has been bussing himself in perfecting the seAndaloas work, and Fremont has been removed uikaozk chance for a hearing.
 The West win be on fire with this news. We slrSsdy learn by Telegraph that an extensive de- Harahsatioa of the army already has ensued. Gen. Fremont in vain, forgetful of self will try b s,en the tide, and draw back his followers to allegiance.
 The East wil rise in indignation. We believe we express the feelings of seven-eighths of the pesP'e of our district, when we say that we con- sader if the most unrighteous, unjustifable and eonsenPtible movement made by this Govern. 1enk. since the var broke out.
 ha worse than a dozen Bull Runs, It is A greater blunder than the hundred other bluuders sAas hase been made. It will go farther toward diskearsening and disgusting the loyal people of the North than all the reverses we have had pu, together.
 We speak thus strongly, We write thus plainly because VIC believe the greatest injustice ha. heen done one of the most energetic, selfsacrif eng, competent Generals of our army Tim, ~ny show some better reasons than we yet know ef for kis removai-but Time never will or car s6ord sufficient reason for this sudden aud unns eessary outrage upon the sentiments of the whole loyal States without a word of explanation or satisfactory reason.
 We believe John C. Fremont will yet be called y tho American people to a position where he snah triumph over his enemies, and tread them snder foot as vipers.

 ]. hes. That our Government in its efforts to suppress a. wicked and powerful rebellion against the laws and institutions of our Coun- try' IS fully entitled to our sympathy and cooperation as Christian Pastors, and De leegates from the churches, and we hereby de- clare our appreciation of the purpose of the Gov ernment to spare no requisite sacrifice for the accomplishment of this end

Too BAD.-Col. Chatfeld, of the 9th Reg't., has been unable to accompany it on the great expedition, on account of severe illness, and has returned home to Waterbury. Col.

y YANKEE MOVEMENT FROM HENDERsON.-
The Louisville correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune thus refers to the recent movement
from Henderson and 0wensboro. From
what he says we imagine the results did not
quite come up to expectation
a movement is being made under Briga-
dier-General Crittenden, south from Owens
boro' and Henderson, along the line of the
Edgefeld and Kentucky railroad. The regi-
ments engaged in this enterprise, as far as
/ know, are those of Coils. Hawkins, Clitt
and Jones, of Indiana, and Col Jackson's
Kentucky cavalry. They have progressed
so far as to shield the counties north and
west of Green river, from the depredations
Of Buckner's band of 1,500 men, who for
merly were engaged in ravaging these coun-
ties. The band is now at Hopkinsville, in
Christian county, a strong rebel county
They seldom venture as far north as Green
river, but confne themselves to the southern
part of Mecklenberg and Hopkins counties.
l learn from reliable authority that one
fifth of this force is down with the black
measles, a disease which is making sad
havoc among the rebel army. The expedi-
tion under General Crittenden will assume
greater proportions as it advances, and it is
thought viii prove of much Importance and
benefit to the Union cause. have assur-
ances that the forces under Gen. Crittenden
has been and is being strongly reinforced,
and that his command will prove of much
Importance. Ilearn that on this expedition
much reliance is placed and much of the
success of Gen Sherman's plans depends.

The REBELS IN LOUISVILLE. THE
UNION MEN.-A correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune, writing from Louisville
nnder date of October 25, gives the fol-
lowing picture of things in that city.
1t is certainly not a fattering one for the
Yankees:
The superceding of Gen. Mcclellan, as
decided upon by the New York Herald
correspondent, has excited the rebel SYM
pathiserS here, and it is to be known that
they are quite numerous here. I doubt
much if the Union majority in this city
is now 500, and if Buckner were twenty
miles further north, the rebel maj orr ty, on
the fact being known, would be twice
that number. The truth is, there never
has been majority of Union men here
who would fight for the principle. They
have been willing to let chance decide
for them. If General McCook is defeated,
the S'Union" citizens of Louisville viii
down their arms, submit ts, Buckner, and
if need be, throw up their caps and cry
him ''welcome'' as heartily as if there
was no Indiana shore nor Indiana SOL
diers within thousand miles. There is
no city in the Union where martial law
is more needed than here. 1t was half
declared at one time, but strange to say,
a man long known to be sympathiser
with the rebels, was appointed by Gen.
Anderson as Provost Marshal. The Sc
cessionists are, as 1 said, rejoicing over
the failure of Gen. Mcclellan to hold his
position, and are wondering who the
great Major General Halleck is. 1t is
probable they may know soon enough
from personal observation. 1t is under
stood here, and have it from quarters
likely to know, that Gen. Halleck will be
given the command of the West 1t was
decided some time since to make Briga-
dier General Sherman a Major General,
and his commission as such was due
here, and expected by him s0eek since
The telegraph did not announce his pro-
motion, and the commission has not ar
rived. Instead thereof, the Californian
has been made Major General, and Gen.
Sherman will remain in statu qtto as re-
CARDS his rank.

Ia Here is specimen of the Louisville
/ Journals appeals to Kentuckians to aid the
Yankees in subjugating the South and aboL
| ishing slavery:
| Why EVERY MAN SHOULD MARcH.-First,
| because he is a man, and the nation needs
hlm-beeause the one, world-grasping ques-
ton which this struggle is to decide is
I Shall this Nation die? Shall the Govern
ment of our fathers-the best that men ever
lived under, or heroes ever died for-fall a
| victim to the caprices of rebellion In the
first century of its existence
Secondly, because every citizen owes his
life of life-his iberty-the better part of
all he as, and has, to his country; and is in
duty-manhood-h to give his
life, if need be, in her defence.
Thirdly, because a single arm, if welded
well, has often saved nation, and may now
save ours. No one, however humble he may
be, can know what help his single hand may
hold until he gives it. Give it, one and all.
Fourthly, Kentuckians, because Kentucky
needs it msost-needs it n01c-this moment
while we write this word-do you hear it
NEEDS it, The watchword of Kentucky
is, ssDefence!" ssDefend me-" is her cry.
Defend her, every man, or sneak down into
second hand grave and be at least dumb
as the heroic dead! You can't, you tCou't
do that. To arms! The mother State that
bred you bids you rise. To arms, men, one
and all !
Filthy, because, first or last, you must
defend her. Now mark that well We do
not wish unduly to alarm, but you must be
prepared. Kentrckians, we tell you-and
we would tell you with trumpet, if there
were such, that would rouse the outraged
dead to war-thst, first or last, you must
fight! Mark it! What does Kentucky
want? Peace. What do we all want? We
all wont peace. All we want is peace
What is the shortest, best, the surest way to
peace? The shortest, best, the surest way
to peace. we tell you plainly now, is to,oards
the Cumberland, a0fth your draaon stcords IN
hdnd-that only, or aCar for gears TO come,
Sixthly, because the passes of the Cum
berland are the key and gateway of the
country, and already the thunder of hun
dred thousand feet gathers and advances to
the Gap. What eye is there so blind that
cannot see it? What ear so deaf that can
not hear it I? What intellect so feeble, still
and small, that does not know it? Then,
seeing, hearing, knowing, as we do, what
man is there in all the Commonwealth so
craven and ingrate-so thoughtless, heart
less, soulless, beggarly and base, that win
not march and help defend the State? Any?
Let him speak! One! God forbid! None!
we answer for it, there are none To arms, /
then, fellow citizens, once more, to arms -
March with an overwhelming army the Gap,
while it is time, and slam that mighty
mountain gate in the invaders face, An
tieipate the foe-seize the great key and
turn it in the lock and bolt the gate with
cannon, and barricade it with living legions.
This is the only-the best, the surest, and
the shortest way to what we all want
peace

0F The Yankees, it seems, have oc-
casionally an interesting little fight
amongst themselves. The following az
count of one we copy from late number
of the Cleveland (O.) Herald:
DisgracefuI Affair in Holmes
-zs-5 County.
Our correspondent from Millersburg,
Holmes county, gives an account of dis
graceful affair which took place on Sat-
urday the 10th instant, at Winesburg,
Holmes county. On the previous day
Lieutenant French, of the 64th Regiment,
who is recruiting company at Millers-
burg, went with detachment to Wines
burg, for the purpose of getting recruits.
The party was accompanied by Messrs;
j. a. Estiu and d. p. Ledbetter, who had
formerly opposed the war, but now were
making speeches in its favor. At Wines
burg the party found very poor encour-
agement. The tavern keeper refused 10
accommodate some of the marty and
made himself as disagreeable as possi-
BILE. while every obstacle was put in the
wav of recruiting. A company of Home
Guards existed there, but their principal
aim seemed to be the prevention of en-
listments and the result was no recruits
could be got. When about ready to
leave Winesburg, one of Lieut. French's
company male some remark in dispar-
agement of the patriotism of the people
of the place, for which he was immedi-
ateIv knocked down. An alarm was rais-
ed and the Home Guards, armed with
muskets, rushed out and commenced an
indiscriminate attack on the volunteers,
striking at them with their dubbed mus
kets, and infiicting severe wounds. Af-
ter desperate fight Lieut.. French and his
men succeeded in fighting their way out,
and returned to Miliersburg.
During the fight the sHome Guards
became so carried away with excite
ment that they rushed on every one they
met. One of them knocked down his
own wife with his gun, and she was
struck by three or four ofhsrs while
down. a little drummer boy belonging
to the 4th was also severely treated by
the rioters.
The sheriff and his posse were to start
for Winesburg on Monday to arrest the
leading rioters.

Honor to whom Honor is Due.
The zeal, ability, and discretion dis
played by the Provost Marshal of Bow
ling Green in the discharge of the ardu-
Gus, responsible and delicate duties de-
volving upon him, are worthy of all COM
mendation.
Major NIXON, of the 23rd Regiment of
Tennessee Volunteers. served with dis
tinction in Mexico, leaving half of the
company he commanded ON the field of
fame at Monterey, where thirty-six of
the eighty men he led into battle were
killed and wounded. For a number of
years past he has filed Federal Office in
Kansas, and had arrived at home lust in
time to join the Regiment to which he is
now attached. Returning after that
Regiment was formed, he was unanim-
ously invited to accept the position of
Major in it, and at once assumed the re-
sponsibilities of that office
Soon after the occupation of this city
by the Confederate troops, he was ap-
pointed Provost Marshal, in which place
he has brought into play all those quail
ties that combine to qualify him so pre-
eminently for it. The good order that
has prevailed here, and the satisfaction
every where expressed with his adminis-
tration, attest his courtesy, his firmness,
and his untiring energy, and bear the
strongest testimony to his capacity.
The commendation of such an officer
is a duty we owe to the public more than
to the recipient of our praise, and one we
discharge with pleasure and alacrity.

Our Kentucky Boys in Virginia.
The correspondent of the Charleston Cow-
rier in one of his capital letters from Ma
nassas, thus speaks of Col. Tenn Tayior's 1st
Kentucky Regiment: s.raa5 ~
AS we pass on among our frieuds, we
come to the Kentucky regiment, and it is
almost pitiable to see the struggle going on
in these noble, manly hearts. they yearn to
be with their suffering brethren in their
distant homes, and feel as it was too much
to ask them to stay here when the foe is
laying waste their own fair and beautiful
brothers were sent to Fort Lafayette; the
news came to me last night, and my mother
-, he continued with quiyering lip, I
shall go to her if am compelled to resign
to get there. But he said the whole regi-
ment want to 60; we feel that we mast, and
the Government cannot expect us to stay
here when our own people are having such
aggravated insults heaped upon them. We
have petitioned again and again to be trans
ferred, aud if it be true that BRECKISRfDGE
is to be Secretary of War we know that zoe
shall go, for he can understand our feelings
in having our kindred hunted down like
wild beasts, and carried away to be immur-
ed in prison walls. : If we have not power
to release the prisoners we can teach the
captors what retribution means.
We felt the greatest sympathy for them
and could but hope that their desire might
be granted. IF they would fight like heroes
here, we are sure they would eyince the
courage of lions while contending in sight
: of their desecrated hearth stones. 1t is a
splendid regiment, and no doubt the Gener-
al commanding the division which embraces
them, win be 10th to give up such power,
full and efficient body of men; but 1t would
be cruel to deny them their wish. They have
been resfive for weeks, but have hoped some
decisive action would take place here, and
then they could better be spared; but the
general feeling which prevails here at this
time is, that the campaign is over in this
section for this winter.
