Fremont, during his hrefand ignomnioi,s career
as commander of the Federal Department of tho
Northwest, achieved much notoriety for the in-ss
fanny of his various orders and proclaim lions
Halleck, his worthy SUCCESSOR promises, heweEsr,
to rival himin the conception of these XTooiops
manifestoes. He is evidently impressed with the
conviction that Missouri pants to be free som the
blighting despotism Of Abolition rule, and that a.
Government OF military force must take the place
of the Government of consent which once held its
benign sway over that unfortunate people, if he
hopes to keep unbroken the chains Of submission
and vassalage riveted upon their limbs. : 0aths
of allegianee,n eoereed sfrom nnoiending and
peaceable citizens constitute his panacea for dis
oyalty. He may not, like that despieabe old trai-
lor Winfield Scott carry his faith 50 far s to exact
an noath from himself at every meal or every glass
Of Burgundy taken, but adopting more cosmo
politan view of the situation y he extends the
principle to less prominent functionaries, with the
evident view of generalising it. a3 IA
Halleck has accordingly just issued an order,
Which we find in the st. Louis papers of the Sth,
establishing a. government, Of oatts, under the
severest penalties in case Of disohedience. He \

take the OATH" and file the same in the office Of
the Provost Marshal General at st. Louis Those
who fail to comply with this requistion within
thirty days from the date of Its issue, are to be
deposed from Office, and upon resistance to such
deposition are to be tried and punished by court
martial. 5fslt3 e&z ~
The presidents and directors Of all railroad com,
panies in the State are also brought, within the
provisions of this ronunciamento, with the addi-
tional requirement that they must file bonds for
such sums as may be designated by the Provost
MARSHAL General, that they will employ no COM
ductors, engineers, stations orHother Off

edict, it y even recommended that clergymen also
take the oath. Thus we have vile and oppressive
Government whose support consists entirely Of

no more binding than an ordinary paper obligation
would be under similar circ1mstan eea.s Such p
concern must be the weakest Government on earth,
