Gen. Fremont's March.
The march of Fremont from Franklin to
Strasburg and beyond is most incredible
one, and one that will never be appreciated by
those who have not seen an army of twenty or
thirty thousand men on the move. lie
made over o hundred miles in less than a
week, and that, too, with the most limited
transportation that was probably ever assign
ed to q command of TIE same size The
moving of an army is not the moving of so
many men. 1t includes the moving, or
rather dragging, of immense pieces of artil.
lery, with all their heavy wheeled accoutre-
ments, frequently requiring fifteen and TWEEN
ty mules to perceptibly move the wheels
through mountain gorges and deep cuts, mud
holes, and ravines. But even this is a small
part of the moving. Subsistence has got to

and horses, companies of cavalry, &c. Ambu-
lances, with their sick and wounded, have

have got to be moved also. In word. all
the endless paraphernalia of tents, baggage,
and stores of every description, belonging to
an army, have to be moved and kept along
within the protection of the troops.

tains. He had to cross all the various inter.
sections and combinations of the Shenandoah,
with all their mountain streams. Yet he
came to time. He was bound to come TO time
when he left Franklin, if it was in the limits
of human endurance to do so. He himself,
led the advance from the start, and with his
maps and his guides piloted the way. His
march was almost second crossing of the
Alps, and great deal faster time, in proper
ton to the facilities at hand. was made by
him than was made by Napoleon.
Such marching is not the way, of course,
to move troops as a rule. 1t is killing on
them, and soon uses up an army. But the
march shows that when an exigency is at
hand, in which the Government requires cell
Gritty above any other consideration, Gen.
Fremont is eminently fitting for the occasion.
