GEN. PREMONT.

IN the course Of last Autumn, Gen. Fremont,
when at Springfield, in Southwestern Missouri,
and at the head Of a Union army on the track
Of the flying Rebel Gen. Price was deprived
Of his command, and ordered to report himself
at Washington, which be did. The cause Of
tbi, order was q succession Of Official and
other reports charging him with incapscity,
ineffcicncy, prodigalty, usurpation, and sun
dries. The Congressional Joint Commtte on
the Conduct of the War las. Winter took up
this matter, scrutinized it thoroughly, and de-
cided that Gen. Fremont had been grossly ira
duced aud wronged, and recommended his
restoration TO a command. The President con-
cured in this decision, aud gave Gen. +.
new Military Department accordingly 10
that department be forthwith repaired, and he
is now in the active discharge Of his important
duties. We insist that nothing should be
done To damage or weaken him until those
duties shall have been devolved on another.
Yet some Of our cotemporaries persist in
their warfare upon HIM, as though he were
still out of service and under some sort OF in-
terlct or ban. We submit that this should
not be. The preteIt for it based on Judge
Hollis recent report from st. Louis does not
justify such persistency in detractOn; for
Judge Hollis Commission never heard Gen.
Fremont, but only his assailants; while the
Joint Committee heard both sides and made
up their judgment accordingly. Judge Holt
WA prejudiced against Gen. Fremont because
of his Proclamation giving freedom to all slaves
of active Rebels, and was in no sense an I'M
partial arbiter If General in the field is 70
be condemned for bygone matters, LET him at
least have n fair trial. For the present, how
ever, let bygones be bygones, while our Cen
erals in active service WORK out the salvation
of the Republic

cbsnces Of battle With si1b' thousand Rebels,
while We had hundred thousand more gallant
men within few days march. If Buell's OF
other re.enforcements could not have been
brought up in season. it was very easy, with
our transports and our undisputed command Of
the river, to have replaced Gen. Grants corps
on tho safe side Of that barrier for few
days: it would have been quite q different
matter for him TO cross it after defeat, with
hundred cannon blowing bloody burrows
through bis broken ranks, and fifty thousand
triumphant Rebels yelling on bis track.
What every one this way had painfully ap-
pretended at length took place. Beauregard
aud Johnston, at the head OF sixty thousand
Rebels, attacked Gen. Grants thirty-elght
thousand Unionists last Sunday morning. The
Rebel chiefs never lack for information; they
knew, of course, just how near Gen. Buell.
forces were, and how soon they could be pushed
forward to the help of our impered advance.
They knew that they had at least one days
clear sailing, and they reasonably calculated
that they could demoli.h Grants corps or run
il into the river within that time. They
missed their mark; for the captors OF Fort
Donelson fought like lions; yet it is plain that
though our heroes stood their ground and
faced the foe undauntedly, they were worsted
at nght-fall Of that first bloody day. General
Prentlss and part of bis brigade were taken
prisoners. The Rebels bivouacked on ground
which our troops had held in tho morning.
Many weary aud panic-stricken iugtiyes had
left the Union ranks aud fed to the river to
seek safety on the other side of it. Had Gen.
Buell's force not been seen just at hand, our
army might possibly have been stampeded and
destroyed.
But Buell. came 10 sight before nghtfali,
crossed the river as rapidly SIS possible, was IN
battle array when the second morning dawned,
and then, it was our turn to advance. Inc
second days action was desperately fought;
but the advantage in numbers and con-
fdence was on the side Of the Unionists;
aud the Rebels were finally routed aud driven
from the field. They lost their best General
in Albert Sidney Johnston; they lost many
Thousands Of their bravest SOLDIERS; they lost
the field and the day. And when we learn all
the facts already known TO Secretary stanton,
We may see why and how our Generals
eyinced "signal ability" in all the Military
4" operations Of the department Of the Misses
sippl; until then, our faith in it is based en-
trely on our confidence that Secretary Stan
ton knows the facts and would no. sacrifice
truth to compliment

to those gentry in such crisis. But the Republican
party is fairly entitled to the credit Of lighting the
nseulators and public plunderen who seek TO mako
money unfairly out Of the War, as no party in power
ever fought it's own camp.follower' before. Con-

by uufounded ruuors ndustriousy act aHoat respect

PoNTooN BRIDGEs.-The New York Com.
mercal's Washington correspondent thusde-
scribes the method of constructing a pom
toon bridge for the passage of an army over
q river:
PontOon boats are fiat bOttomed, thirty
one feet long, two and half feet deep in
the centre, two and half feet wide at the
square bow, and five feet wide at the stern,
swelling out at the tides TO the width of six
feet. Each one iits on a running gear Of
four wheels, and is used as baggage wag-
on for the pOntoonniers, carrying also its
proportion of striDg.pieces and of plank.
On reaching river the boats are unlOaded,
6Oated across by cables made fast up. stream,
then the string pieces are laid across from
one boat TO the next, and on these are
placed the planks, each twenty-one feet
long. which form the gangway Of that width.
It is 6ne sight TO see regiment come 10
a river bank with pontoon train-unlOad
and launch their boats--moOr them in q
line, and in less than five minutes from the
time when the word "balt" was given, have
a bridge. say six hundred feet in length,
over which an army can safely pass, with
