Gen. Fremonts defense of his management

Gen Fremont's defense of his management
of the western military department has been
published in the New York Tribune 1t fills
twenty-eight columns, and consists Of his own
statement, accompanied by great number oi
letters and dispatches that explain and confirm
it. Never was there q more convincing and
triumphant vindication and never did any
thing of the kind seem more despicable than
the celebrated report" OF adjutant gener-
al Thomas, which the Tribune appends
to these documents. Fremont blames no
one. His defense is singularly tree from
every thing like recriminaton. There is not
one expression of resentment, nor even an
insinuation against any of his accusers. The
style OF the document is dignified, courteous,
and sincere, and if any OF his detractors can
read it without feeling ashamed of what they
have done to hinder him, their condition of
mind and heart is nowise enviable.
When he went to Missouri, there were but
few troops there besides the three months
mea whose time had nearly expired. There
was lack OF almost everything necessary to
the organization of an efficient army. The
government and the country were chiefly oc
cupied with the army of the Potomac al
though the rebels were strong and active in
Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee, and con-
fdently expected to capture Cairo and St.
Louis. Fremont proceeded at once to organize
an army. His name attracted volunteers, but
arms and means of transportation were lack.
iLg. The arms he had purchased in Europe
were taken from him and sent to Washington.
But little was done to aid him in his difficult
work; yet he toiled on and succeeded in putting
an army in the field, under circumstances that
would have overpowered most other men. L
has been complained that he disregarded the
requirements of red tape and his detractors
studiously conceal the fact that he was in
many things compelled to act more or less
on his own responsibility, and that the govern.
ment expected him to do so. In addressing
the committee, he shows by documents that
this was true, and quotes the following from
communication made TO him at that time by
member OF the cabinet -
WASHINGTON, July 26, 1861-Dear Gen
eral, have two kilograms from you but find
nimpOssible now to get any attention to Mis-.
souri or western matters from the authorities
here. You UiH hare to do the best you can, and
take all needtA responsibility to defend and pro-
tect the people over whom you are set"
Let it be remembered that Fremonts worst
enemy has never dared to accuse him of a
want Of patriotism. There is not in all the
country more earnest and incorruptible pat.
riot than John C. Fremont, nor more ,nncom-
promising foe of that black conspiracy of the
slavery extremists that has sought to destroy
the republic. 1t would be gain to the coun
try and an inexpressible satisfaction to tn,
people il the same could be said of all thost
who have been engaged in the conspiracy
against him.

THE FEELING AT NASHVILLE.

correspondent OF the New York Times,
writing from Nashville, Feb. 9th, gives an
account of what he had seen and heard there
since his arrival. lie does not find as much
Union feeling there as it would be pleasant TO
see. Most Of the people have fled, and most
of those who remain make plain their sympa-

eseng in the military ascendency of Gen. Blu
ell, which they can not prevent. 1t is hoped
that further acquaintance with our men will
change their mode. We copy the following
from the letter -

The large cities OF France are not exactly
the localities where one would expect TO find
those cheerful firesides, that conjugal fidelity.
and the many nameless charms, which con-
spire to render almost ed the most beauti-
full word in the English language. The
Frenchman's HOME is the street, the coffee.
house, the theater, or anywhere except where
he eats and sleeps! Beneath his superficial
politeness there turks bitter contempt for all
that ennobles the female sex, and hence to
him domestic happiness becomes an imposs-
bility. This national trait is discernible even
in the inscriptions upon the tombstones in the
great cemeteries near Paris Thus, in one Of
those "cities OF the dead" a husband, mourn
ing the loss OF quarrelsome wife, gives poet
ical ulteraace to his grief, in the following ep-
itaph -

The REBEL FLAGs.-Gov. Andrew COM
municated letter to the house, yesterday in
relation to the rebel flags captured by our
troops at Roanoke Island, with the suggestion
that they should be for the present placed in
the hall of the house of representatives. Col.
Lee Of Templeton offered an order recognizing
the gallantry OF the Massachusetts regiments
in that engagement, and authorizing tile SER
geant-at- arms to place the ca tured flags in the
hall Of the house during the rest of the SEES
sion. The order was adopted without
dissent, previous to which Col. Bullock
eloquently addressed the house, stating
that the order Of his excellency desig.
mating the house OF representatives as the
temporary repository of these trophies,
was issued after consultation with, and with
the approval Of, the presiding officers OF the
two branches of the legislature. The speaker
expressed his own conviction, that as mark
OF the states regard for the signal bearing of
her soldiers, and not as mark OF Difference
or respect for the flag of secession, it was right
and becoming to display the emblems of their
valor in the most conspicuous and observable
manner. He was frequently applauded in the
course of his brief remarks.

GEN.-SMITH AT CLARKsVILLE.-A cores.
pondent of the St. Louis Democrat, writing
from GAINESVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 25th, says
Gen Smith preserves the strictest discipline
among the troops here, and the citizens recov
ering from their first alarm, are gradually COM
ing to the conclusion that the Yankees are
hardly so vile set of creatures as they had
been brought to believe. Indeed, not few of
them turn out to witness the dress parades of
the regiments, and have heard some compar-
isons instituted as to the comparative disci
plibe and general appearance of the confeder.
ate and federal troops, not particularly com.
plimentary TO the former Gen. Smith-while
he keeps his troops in their camps outside of
the town, and takes care that private properly
shail be lnYlolate-is not apparently disposed
TO be particularly tender with the feelings of
the rebel citizens, and permits no promulga-
ton OF secerslon doctrines i'll his presence. A
day or two ago citizen came to him with
some request. and was greeted something after
this manner
"Who are you, sir "a Union man 2" To
which the reply was he was not a Union man
he was southern rights man-in fact he
was Secessionist, and was not ashamed to
own it.
Eyes, sir !" Numbered the General, "you are
damned rebel Get out ofMis house, sir / rant
nothing to do ioiM you."
The vigorous remarks were accompanied
by a corresponding glance, which led the gen.
tleman who glOried in being rebel, to believe
that he had better act upon the Generals sug.
gestion, and he forthwith beat a retreat.
