One Of the serious charges made ont by Ad-
jutant General Thomas, against Gen. Fremont,
reads as follows: 1,ssnr.i Ina 5'rtat'l iasrn -

Il the scrutirizing eye of this officer had

Why is this not inquired into If the practice is
contrary TO sthe law and the army regulations?"
We are not 70 be understood as justifying the

Tno ncDcIs DIssatisfied.

While here at the North, there are strong
symptoms of growing hostility to the present
Federal Administration, on the part OF those
who recently made an unquestioning support OF
that Administration identical with loyalty 70

Iston and encouragement to loyal Union men,
that the rebels are beginning to growl still more
Justify at the management of those to whom
they have entrusted the direction OF affairs In
the new, experimental Southern Coufederaey.
MANY Of the Southern journals, il we may
Judge from the articles in the rebel press, which
reach us from time to time, are even more bit
ter in their TRADES against the administration
of JEFF DAVIS than are the. radical Abolition
FRrMoNr prints against that of President LIN
COLIN. The rebel sheets are incessant In their
demands for a forward moYement, They urge
that the Confederate authorities shall change
the war from merely defensive to an offensive
one, and Immediately plan and carry into enecs
an invasion of the Northern States, -
The complaint is. general and loud at the.
South that the Confederate Government, IN
both ita civil and military departments, is too
slow in Its operations, and does not follow up
the advantages 1t has gained, SO as to afford the
least prospect Of bringing the war to speedy
aud successful close Thereis, in fact, accord.
ing to many leading, influential rebel presses,
gross mismanagenent and incompetency every
where manifested in the public service These
things lead to gloomy forebodings of defeat and
an ignomipious submission eventually to the
strong arm Of Federal power.
These facts admonish Onion men that they
should exercise patience. II they remain firm
and united, changes may, in 0 short time' be
wrought in the South, that may do more for the
Uuon cause than an invading army Of i've
hundred thousand men. The rebels may soon
realize that the new government they have set
up is worse than the one they have fepudisted;
aud that IL the latter scourged them with whips,
the former is tormentiDg them with scorpions.
Having launched upon the tempestnous sea Of
revolution and anarchy, there lie no telling where
they may land. Counter revolutions may fol:
low, and the new rebel government be over
lhrown by the very men. who aided in giving 10
birth. sossmgaFzAB - nsk al.
We wonld mot hay 3 the Federal Government
relax one iota of its efforts to "crnsh ont the
rebeilion;" but we would have the discontent-
ed and fretful among us remember that there
may be causes at work which may do more for
the accomplishments Of that end than all the
military and naval power Of the Government :;
Let us all exercise patience, hope, eourage1
with unswerving fidelity to the Constitution,
and the Union cause win be triumphant. l,
