Gen. Fremont,

The Pathfinder has again been driven
from the field by the appointment Of ,
subordinate officer, Gen. Pope, to supe
riority in command. Why Generals Ere
mont and Banks, both of higher rank than
Pope, should have been placed under him
is one Of the mysteries of this inscrutable
war. The story Of his having captured
10000 prisoners at Corinth is now &C.
knowledged to be false, but being Of
Halleck's division We presume he excludes
negroes from his lines and thus proves
himself above the vulgar curiosity of pry.
ing into the affairs of President Davis and
his associates. Banks nor Frem ont have
never been surprised of course they ought
to be superseded. Men who listen to the
tales Of servants concerning the affairs Of
their masters for the insignificant purpose
Of saving few thousand Yankee lives
now and then, are not the men to concili-
ate our deeply offended "Southern Breth-
ern" who may run out Of drinking cups
and trinkets for their lady love if the sup
ply Of Yankee skulls and collar bones is cut
off by pryiug negroes giving notice Of their
plans.
How many more thousands Northern
men are to be offered up on the altar of
our National Dragon?

Outrageous Mail Arrangements

BY the new schedule the mail from St.
Paul to this place is not received until the
evening Of the mcrt day after it leaves
that city, thus giving us the dailies thirty
sic hours after they are published instead
Of t'celue, as formerly. The stage that
leaves st. Paul on one morning brings the
mail as far as st. Anthony, and there
leaves it until the next morning, when it
is brought the remainder of the distance.
This is done, too, when passengers come
through from St. Paul on this same stage
in one day. Common sense and justice
would ask, why cannot the mail be brought
through, also There is no reason why it
could not; and the present arrangement is
unnecessary, unjust and intolerable. W.
have heretofore received the mail from St.
Paul in one day, and there is no cause why
VIC should not now.
A petition is being circulated ask
ing the Department to remedy thi. out
rage, and is receiving the signature of ev-
cry person within the delivery of this
Post Office. We would urge our Senators
and Representatives to give the matter
their attention, and see that the matter il
properly presented TO the Department.

for public purposes and to last Tor all future
time, is only great deal more "lair and honor

Greeley himself. -

HERKIMER COUNTY CHEESE.

We copy from Mr.. Wizards Essay, prev-
ously referred to, the process of manufacturing
this famous cheese:
"The whole mass of milk is gradually raised
to temperature of lightweight or ninety de-
grees, according to the temperature of the at
mosphere, ard sufficient quantity of rennet in
to thoroughly curdle it in forty minutes. 1t is
then covered with a cloth and left at rest, any
jarring or jostling having tendency to disturb
coagulaton.
l have experimental in setting milk at a
higher and lower temperature, but It was always
attended with loss; Milk set at low tempera-
ture effects materially the flavor of the cheese
it does not readily coagulate, the curd is soft,
the whey separates with difficulty, and por-
ton is liable to remain in the cheese, to soul
and purify. Such cheese will be porous, and
however carefully the curd is worked, the whey
will be turbid, and carry of both butter and
caseine.
II the milk is too warm, coagulation becomes
too adhesive, and the oily parts OF the milk he

dering the cheese tough and leathery. Renne

Loring to furnish Mr. Helper with transporta.
ton by the first steamer going north. The
governor says he places the affair on its own
merits, thinking the letter itself a sufficient
commentary upon them, and he takes the whole
responsibility of this act"
Thus the three charges against Gov Stanly,
which have caused so much excitement at the
North are disposed Of Mr. Colyer evidently
acted in haste, and his return to open his
schools again shows that he so understands it.
Gov Stony apparently understands his duties
better than was supposed when the exaggerat-
ed reports of his action first came to hand.
He has nothing to do with enforcing the fugi-
tive slave law or the laws of North Carolina
neither has he any authority to resist their exc
cution. His duties are limited and clearly de-
fined. If he keeps within the limits there will
be no further trouble.

THE REBEL GENERAL BucKNER.-The Lou
isvile Journal demonstrates against the release
of the rebel General b ickaer, now imprisoned
Mt Fort Warren, and adds:
The State he has outraged, the homes he has
rendered desolate, and the families that he has
clothed in mourning for the loss of their cher
ished sons, all demand that this most notori-
Gus migrate and cool, clutious, and conscious
traitor should be held until the close of the war,
to be then dealt with by the authorities of Ken
lucky His release, as the effect Of any ulti-
matum or stipulation which the insolent rebels
may demand, would be degradation worse
than the loss of pitched battle. With the
single exception of David E. Twiggs, there is
no man who should be held to a more strict
responsibility than this Buckner, for none of
the traitors have been more calculating in their
designs, more fendsh in Carrying them out, or
more utterly depraved in the use of means to
accomplish them. He is the Catiline of the
Kentucky conspirators.
