whether or not Fremont IS real gener-
al, has determined to give him his decis-
i've trial. The greatest abolition hero ap-
pears upon the stage Of action for the
third time, therefore, like a debutant,
who, having failtd twice as Richard the
Third, is allowed one more night to re-
deem himself or justify his dismissal.
Fremont, indeed, resembles the usual
general. His SehrraiShip is all in his
Uniform. lie slaShcS about amazingly
amid frantic hi-hi's from the black pit of
the Tribune office; but he never really
hurts anybody. The blood he spills is
not the real stuff, but usually comes from
poor Greeley's inkstand He gives us all
the sound and fury Of battle; but he in
lures the rebels not ha,f 50 much rs Ed

acts with great applause from the ahoh-
tiunistS; but at ,he conclusion Of bis
performance sensible people think that
they have paid their money towards his
salary foo.ishly, and that they might BIT.
ter have patr"nized some other actor.
This theatrical General Fremont APP
peared for the first time in Missouri,
where he accomplished nothing. PrcSi-
dsnt Lincoln's proverbial generosity was
appealed to, and he gave Fremont the
b, nctit Of SrCoad trial in Western
Virginia, where H.. r>'hi~r->' precisely
the same result as in Missouri. Two

> bat the best naturcd President that
ever blessed this country but President
LinrOln'S benevolence is inexhanStiLie,
and he has at last concluded to try Gen
cral Fremont for the third time. TO put
ErSNsoDt in command iw;st in the same
State, however, would inevitably r, sultin
the annihlatOn OF all tho Union forces in
that Commonwealth and Their, fore the
President has given him an entirely new
field Of operations. Fremont, ike the
brnkrupts and heavy debtors OF few
years ago, is now entitled 10 the order Of
the G. L. I. lie has literally gone to
Texas. The feelings of the unhappy
people Of that beautiful section of the
country, upon the RECEIPT Of this inteli-
gencc, may be imagined, but cannot be
described. 1t would be equally imposoi-
ole for Us to adequately portray the gen
eral joy with which this information viii
be received by the people Of this portion
Of the republic. The aboltioui>ts will
rejoice because Fremont, their (avorite
general. has departed in glory to t new
command T;.e public generally will
cont nj itself with rejoicing that he has
departed.
10 be successful in the Department Of
Texas, Fremont will require maps, mu-
,ic, mules. money and mnlattors. We
trust that the Preside mt will see that he
is literally supplied with these essentials
without delay. Fremont will require
many maps tor, although he is nj k
named Pathfinder, he has very bad
haiti Of losing hia way, especially when
the enemy is on his road. To prevent
this accident occurring again, as it did in
the Shenandoah Valley, we advise the
Government to send on to Texas all the
maps Of the coast surveys and all other
surveys, including Il map Of Africa, il
which country Fremont has a much
deeper interest than in this Slavehol1ing
nation. Fremont will also need music II
inspire his spirits an1 soiacc his hours of
rest. We all know be dotted upon his
private brass bru'l AT 1t. Louis; and now
that MuHio alI Cl.umn are out Of eni.
p,nyment, and tidlrs are chla;cr than
horses, Secretary Stanton can provide
him with a first class orchestra at IA small
expense. Mules viii be necessary tn
draw that princrly chariot i'll which Ere
mont always rileS away from the battle
field; and, since Greeley and the Tribune
corps are otherwise engaged, the Govern
merit viii have to procure tuurlUotcd ami
mails for this purpose. Fr,moat viii
want money most Of all, as his campaign
in Missouri abundantly proves, aud i;
may Gr well for the Government to SCI
apart n special fund, OF from ten t. TWEEN
ty miiioaS Of dollars, upon which he
may draw to pay his expenses AMI settle
with his contractors. Lastly, Fremont
cannot get along without mulattocs tC
wait upon him and swell his regal ret
inuc. Ii his army is to remain in TtXa,
any time, however, it will not be ncceS
>ary f9r the Government to send :hc Mu
IattorS down to him.
Supplied with these campaigning nc
cesSitts-NapS. music, males, maney
ana mulattocS-Frcmont may he RELIEF
upon to accomplish something for him
self, if not for the country. Withcu
: them the only results of his new cam
pnign will be as worthless as those pf hi
:; Missouri and Virginia exploits, and ma,
be summed up in these three words =
r debts and contracts. Since the Admin
i, iSraion has determined to try Fremon
for the third time, we insist upon it tina
{ this rial Shall be- fair and final one, ant
