Fremont for tine Third Time.

decides the question. The administration very
much bothered TO know whether or not Fre-
mont Is real general, has determined to give
him this decisive trial. The greatest abolition
hero appears upon the stage Of action for tne
third tune. therefore, like debutant who, hav
ing failed twice as Richard the Third, is allow
ed one more night to redeem himself or justify
his dismissal. Fremont, indeed, resembles the
usual stage Richard in being mere theatrical
general. His generalship is oil in his uniform.
He slashes about amazingly amid frantic hi-hi's
never really hurts anybody. The blood he
spills is not the real stuff, but usually comes
from poor Greeley's inkstand. lie gives us all
the sound and fury Of battle; but he Injuries the
rebels not half SO much as Edwin Forrest does
the unfortunate wight who plays Richmond to
his Richard. He acts with great applause from
the aboltionists; but at the conclusion of his
performance sensible people think that they
have paid their money towards his salary fool
ishly, and that they might better have patron
lied some other actor
This theatrical General Fremont appeared
for the first time In Missouri where he accom-
plished nothing. President Lincoln's proven
bial generosity was appealed to- and he gave
Fremont the benefit of q second trial in Western
Virginia. where he achieved precisely tho same
result as in Missouri. Two such fail
ures would have Disguised any but the
best natured President that ever bless
cd this country; but President Lincoln's
beneyoence is inexhaustble, and he has at last
concluded to try General Fremont for the third
time. TO put Fremont in command twice in
the same State, however, would inevitably re-
suit in the annihilation of all the Union forces
in that Commonwealth; and therefore the Presi-
dent has given him an entirely new field of
operations. Fremont like the bankrupts and
heavy debtors Of few years ago. is now en-
titled to the order of the G. 7. 7. He has
literally gone to Texas. The feelings Of the
unhappy people Of that beautiful section of the
country, upon the receipt of this intelligence,
may be imagined but cannot be described. 1t
would be equally impossible for us to ade-
quately portray the general JOY with which this
information will be received by the people Of
this portion of the republic. The abolitonists
will rejoice because Fremont, their favorite
general, has departed in glory to new COM
mand. The public generally will content itself
with rejoicing that he has departed.
To be successful in the Department of Texas,
and mulattoes We trust that the President will
see that he is literally supplied with these
essentials without delay. Fremont will require
many maps; for, although he is nicknamed the
Pathfinder, he has very bad habit Of losing his
way, especially when the enemy is anywhere
on his road To prevent this accident oc-
curing again, as it did in the Shenan-
doah valley, we advise the government to send
on to Texas all the maps of the coast surveys
and all other surveys, including a map of Africa,
in which country Fremont has a much deeper
interest than in this slaveholding nation. Ere
mont will also need music to inspire his spirits
and solace his hours Of rest. We all know how
he dotted upon his private brass band at St.
Louis and now that Muzio and Ullman are
out of employment, and fiddlers are cheaper
than horses, Secretary Stanton can provide him
with first class orchestra at a small expense.
Mules will be necessary to draw that princely
chariot in which Fremont always rides away
from the battle field; and, since Greeley and the
Tribune corps are otherwise engaged, the 60
vernment will have to procure four-footed ami
mails for this purpose. Fremont will want
money most of all, as his campaign in Missouri
abundantly proves, and it may be well for the
government to set apart special fund, of from
ten to twenty millions of dollars, upon which
he may draw to pay his expenses and settle
with his contractors. Lastly, Fremont can
not get along without mulattoes to wait
upon him and swell his regal retinue. If his
army is to remain in Texas any time, however,
it will not be necessary for the government to
send the mulattoes down to him.
Supplied with these campaigning necessities
maps, music, mules, money and mulattoes-
Fremont may be relied upon to accomplish
something for himself, if not for the country
Without them the only results OF his new cam
paign will be as worthless as those of his Mis-
souri, and Virginia exploits, and may be summed
up in these three words-debts and contracts
Since the administration has determined TO try
Fremont for the third time, we insist upon il
that this trial shall be a fair and final one, and
that he shall be dismissed If found wanting
SEIF-CoNvIcTED OF TREAsoN.-The Tibu,,,
has declared that hostility and opposition to the
administration are treason. If that position be
tenable then Greeley is self-convicted Of the
crime, traitor Of the deepest dye. In Satur.
days number Of the Tribune he publishes ex.
tracts from an article from Brownson's Recie,c
extending to three columns, in which the writer
assails the administration in the fercest terms,
particularly Secretary Seward, the only man
who has managed his department properly. He
says "the chief responsibility rests on She
Secretary Of State and the President HIMSELF

Seward is particularly responsible The con.
