Gen. Fremont and his Department..
Gen. Fremont leaves the city to day for
the interior of Western Virginia. What
point be will start for, or what route he will
take, and where his main operations will
commence, remain, of course, u secret, as
yet, His department is a large one, and
altogether different from any of the others.
His troops will have different kind of
work to do from other troops. Skirmish-
ing, and putting down guerrillas, restoring
local law and order, and reassuring Union
people over large tract of country, seems
to be chiefly the work Of his commando
He has great field before him in South
western Virginia-A section as yet held in
Undisputed sway by the rebels. He will,
no doubt, make haste to remove from our
people there the iron yoke of the rebels
We may depend upon it that the May days
will witness a complete Kidding out of the
rebels from all parts of Western Virginia.
Ia the mean time we presume prepare.
rations are going on TO relieve the East
Tennessee people All the country east of
line drawn North aud South through
Knoxville is within Gen. Fremonts De-
pnrtment. We know that it is his special
desire and ambition to go as speedily as
possible to the rescue OF the noble patriots
there who have suffered so much and so
long at the hands of the rebels. Parson
BroWulow has told us that Gen. Fremont
is favorite there, and he and all his fellow
sufferers in that section will enthusiastic
Cally rally round the Generals banner.
Gen, FremOnt's stay in Wheeling has
been longer than he expected. The reas-
on has been that he found that lie had to
organize his whole Department. In
thousand particulars he lacked facilities
for carrying out the work before him. He,
has been lnboriously engaged ever since he
reached the city. No man could show
more uutirtng devotion to his business
What he has achieved in the work of mill
tary organization. and in the furtherance
of civil Law in West Virginia. will never
be known until the official record comes
to be made up. A specimen of it was
published yesterday in the findings of his
court martial aud in sentencing three muir
derous bushWbarkers to death. These
desperadOes are finding out that there is
government, and that their game is a
dangerous one. 1t is Gen. Fremont's in
Iention to put them down or exterminate
them. Very few of them will trouble the
Court officers from this time on. The
"swear-and-let-gO" practice has been en-
tirely abandoned Trial by court martial
aEd death by hanging are TO be the order
of the:day. The guerrillas may as well
make up their minds at once to this. for
stern will is after them.
When Gen. Fremont came to Wheeling
be had more prejudice to encounter we
suppose, tkan any man who ever came
here. We hear of no instance in which
personal or official intercourse has not
broken down that prejudice. 1t is only
those who read. hear or see but one side
that retain it. His quiet unassnming man
ner aud his devotion to his work have i'm.
pressed everybody who has had anything
to do with him. All the foolish talk about
his inaccessibilisy has been found untrue.
No man could be more accessible who has
the same business to do.
He has no time, and never did have, to
waste on people, but he has time for all
persons who have business With him, and the
good use he makes of his intercourse with
every Individual has been many times re-
marked. He studiously CLEANS every par
ticle Of information that concerns his De-
paFtment from every ono who has it to give,
and on all occasions he has shown himself
only too glad to consult the wishes of our
Western Virginians in every matter that
concerned them. Indeed, for Que who has
the reputation among his enemies Of being
inSubordinate, the deferential and subdued
mAnnerism of Gen. Fremont is a matter
of note. What particularly arrests the
attention of a conyerser with the General is
the fact that he has nothing to say about
himself, either incidently or directly and the
lact also that he speaks mildly aud with
apparently no feeling in reference to the at.
