The REBEL Fort AT EDWARDS FERRY-
a letter from PoolesviIle, gives an account of
what was done at Edwards Ferry, by a com.
mand Of Gen. German, while Gen. Stone was
at Washington, and after the secretary of war
had notified Gen. German to hold command
of that post. The circumstance is mention
ed in the extract from Washington letter
quoted in another place. The Poolesvlle let
ter says: -
"rhe rebels have been for some time OBJ.
served erecting a stockade fort on the opposite
side of the river, near the ferry. First they
came in small working parties and operated
under cover of the night. Their proceedings
were well known to our men. The work
went on until yesterday, when, suddenly
and unexpectedly, one of our batteries
opened fire on the embryo fort. 1t was
crowded with rebel working parties at the time
Our artillery threw the ten and underground
PARROT shells and balls into it with great pre-
cision completely demotishing the fort, and
causing great CONSERVATION and terror among
the astounded rebels. 1t is unnecessary to
add that they hesitated not to run for their
lives, which some of them were unable to car.
ny off A few harmless rifle shots were fred
at our artilerists, but no harm or injury was
done by any of them The rebels have not
dared to show themselves in the vicinity of
their abandoned work since"

plenent to the removal of Gen. Stone, is til
restoration of Gen. Fremont to a suitable com
maud where his bravery, experience, and un
doubted loyalty may be thrown into the bal
ance on the righteous side. The people want
him in the field the politicians and semi-se-
cessionists only dlstrust him. Now let the
new secretary OF war confirm the good opinion
he is winning al! over the country by tramp
ling on wicked conspiracy against true and
faithful soldier, and restore to the service an
officer whose name would again inspire the
enthusiasm and ardor of brave and patriotic
soldiery.

1t is proposed to maintain religious services in

The proprietor istully satisfied that this en-.
terprse has failed hiterto mainly through lack
OF personal interest in the work that it has
been done too much by proxy; that its friends
have only contributed their money, without
coming in contact with the objects of their
