signed his command, and his staff of ram
pant Aho.itionists have gone with him. Joy
go with them Neither FREMoNT nor his
staff ever cared tinker's curse for the
Union, and only joined the army to "crush
outslavery," aud make FREMoNT the Repub-
llcan secession candidate for the Presidency
The Ledger thus speaks of this Republican
General and his staff:
GONE WITH ALL HIS STAFF.-It is announ-
ced that on Gen. Fremont withdrawing all

the service. as they did when he was super.
seded in Missouri. If fthese officsrs' person
al attachment to Gen. Fremont is greater
than 10 The country in whose service lhey
were supposed TO be engaged, they can t,,
easily spared. The Government should
allow no obligations 10 exist in It's public
servants greater than those they owe 10 the
country. The war we are engaged in is to
put down forever just such preleniions as
these on the part OF the rebels, who recoe
Mise stronger attachment due TO The indi-
vidual State they reside in, than they do TO
the Union, for no government can exist &C.
curely upon such secondary claims 10 tt g

sink their local pride and personal attach
rnent,in the larger obligation of duty which
comprehends The whole country, have mol
the true notion of loyal which should ill-
spire the cetizans of country like this
We do not see that the friends of Gen Fie
mont have had anything 70 complain of in
the action of the government. 1t took him
from civi lian ranks, gave him comma I'd
superior to many better known and alb ell
Generals, longer in the army and next in
order of promotion according to the rules OF
the service. She Government did this in
the hope that the extravagani expeciaiic MS
Gen. Fremont's friends had of his military
abilities, would be borne out if favorable
opportunity were afforded. These expec-
tationis have not been realized, for Fre-
mont's operations in the valley of the Shan
andoah, however brilliant, have.noi been so
entirely successful as 10 create unboun:led
confidence in his capacity as military
commander. The country at this time can
not pause TO consider mere questions oi

isville, in the Cincinnati Enquirer" Of the
Both ult.
When the alarm was raised IN Louisville
that the enemy were marching IN that city,
General Davis, who could not reach his com-
mand under General Buell., then at Bowling
Green, went to General Nelson and rendered
his services. General Nelson gave him the
command Of the city militia SO soon as they
were organized. General Davis opened an
Office and went to work in assisting in the or
ganization On. Wednesday last General Da-
Wis called upon General Nelson in his room at
the Gait House, in Louisville, when the follow
ing dialouge took place:
General Davis-I have the brigade, Gene
ral you assigned me, ready for servece, and
have called to inquire if ] can obtain arms
for them.
