lis q week -dav since Gen. Fremont laid down
the command Of the army which the energy Of his
resistless will had borne across the mountains IN an
arduous and memorable march; an army when
under him had driven up the Valley Rebel force
more than twice its strength, defeated ito flying Zoe
when eoupelled TO turn aud fight at Crosskeys and
which under him but for the eccentric folly and ir-
resionsible incapacity Of Shields, would have cap
tuTed or destroyed the Rebel army Of jackson at
Port Republic.
We hear doubifully that at home the reasons Of
his retirement are Misunderstood, and 10 motives
nis-epresented: that some friends fall from him, and
in the impotence Of surprise forget the trust which
i due to his unsellsh patriotism, aud the respect
which they owe 70 his uDsuhed honor. Well ne
can afford TO wait till public welfare permits ana
tpnbiic interest demands 10 know the inner record OF
bic blisnt campaign, and the secret springs Of bis
sudden removal. Only 1, who know something ot
both and am disappointed ia the confidence winch
does not aLioe such az without ripple of die
trust ask leave 10 reaii.m The opinions have eX-
