Gen. Frcnont's March.

The march Of Fremont from franklin
TO S,rasburg and beyond is n most incrcd-
ible Que. and one that will never be ap-
preoiatcd by those who have not seen an
army of twenty or TWENTY-FIVE thousan nd
men on the move. lie made over a hum
drcd miles in less than week. and that.
too, with the most limited transportation
that was probably ever assigned to com
mond of the same size,
The moving of an army is not tho NOV
ing of so many men. lt includes the
moving or rather dragging OF immcnse
pieces of artillery with all their heavy
wheeled eccoulremcnts. frequently re-
.qulring fifteen or twenty mules to per-
.cepthly move the wheels through m0un-
tain gorgcs and deep cuts, mud holes and
raviucs. But even this is a small part OF
the moving. Subsistence has gut 10 be
not only provided but transported, end
this again includes forage for all the trains
.ot mules and horses, companies OF cavalry
&c. AmbulancCs with their sick aud
wounded have got to be moved. Thou.
sands Of barrels Of flour, meat, and all
sorts of commissury stores have GOT 60 be
moved also. la a word all the cndl,ss
paraphcrnalia oltents, baggage and stores
of every description belonging 70 an army
have TO be moved and kept aIorg within
the protection Of the troops.
Gen. Fremont had to make his march
over halt a a dozen ranges und spurs OF
mountains. He had TO cross all the va
rious intersections and combinations Of
the Shenandoah, with all their mountain
streams. Yet he came to time. lie was
bound to come to time when he left Frank
lin, II 1t was in the limits of human cndu.
rance to do so. lie, himself, led the ad-
vance from the start, aud with his maps
aud guides pilutcd the way, His march
was almost a second crossing ol the A ips,
aud great deal faster time in proportion
to the inciitios at hand, was made 10y
him than was made by Napoleon.
Such marching is not the way orcourse
to move troops us arulc. 1t is killing on
them, aud soon uses up an army. But
the march shows that when an cxigency
is at hand, in which the Government re-.
quircs cclcrity above any other considera.
ton, Gen. FIcmont is ,mincutly fitted
for the occasionally Wheeling IateHigca-
ceI.

During tho past three days Gen. Blun,
has been receiving intelligence, by telc-
graph aud by messengers, of new and
important rebel movement In Arkansas.
II will be rccolloctcd that Gov. Rector

The country over which the rebels
must march is much broken aud badly

create no alarm in Kansas. The Com

One Of the most distinguished of the
CLERGY, the Rev. Mr.. Asbury, the Pio-
nccr Bishop of the Mcthodisls, expressed
his regrets for not having married. He
would have liked, he thought, to "lea 4

other apostles" but at about sixty years
Of age, being still an old bachelor he

'Ehc Cause Of Jach.sOn's Esc-
treat.

A letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer
gives in brief space what Jackson intend
ed to do before he heard Fremont was
"altcr him. und what he dill do when he
got the news of Fremont's advance. 1t
says:
Stonewall Jackson had seven brigadcs
of infantry with him after his junction
with Eiwell, and sat down before Hnr-'
per's Ferry with an effective force of 22,-
600 men. There were 23 regiments of
infantry, iiity-two pieces of artillery and
twenty-five hundred cavalry under Ash
by. He had made all his dispositions Tor
an attack by flank and ia front of our
slender forces, when courier arrived
from Winchester with the alarming in-
telligcnce that Mcdowell and Fremont
were conyerging upon his rear. In two
hours his whole column wds in Setreat.
The day previous he had thrown two
regiments across tho Shenandoah, and
had himself visited Loudon Heights and
taken deliberate survey Of our position
and the defousive preparations made
against his apprehended attack. II was
the "lire in the rear" and not the formid-
able obstacles in front, that caused him,
to withdraw SO precipitaely.
make no hesitation in saying that,
had twenty-lour hours more elapsed be.
fore Fremont and Mcdowell appeared in
the valley, Jackson would have been in
possession of Harper's Ferry and Mary
land Heights. He knew our strength and
weakness, and that there was not sufli.
cient force to fend the position against
the triple attack by which he expected to
carry Il.
BY such lucky combinations do the
tides in the affairs of armies turn. The
whole face Of events in the valley was at
once changed, aud tho pursucrs suddenly
became the pursued-no, not pursued
The defensive was industriolisly main
tSined here after Jackson had left, and
until his forces had withdrawn t. Win
chester, till Sigel came and at once set
the columns in motion. An action ofen-
sive taken early might have resulted in
harrassing aud embarrassing his rear, un-
til Mcdowell and Fremont could have
come up,
In that case jackson and his army
would have been bagged. Nothing, how
ever, was done TO detain his retreat up
the valley, go far as we were concerned,
and the result is that the main part Of bis
army has slipped through our fingers, and
made secure retreat

humanity, He combcd his hair straight
and looked s.udiously II, the main chances;
and while he looked, he employed him
sefin setting good example. His dress
was rig'dy plain, and his wife was not
inGulged in the yanities of millinery and
mantuamaking. He never joked, he did
not know what joke was any further
than TO know il was sin. He carried
Sunday face through the week. He did
not mingle 10 the happy social parties Of
lis neighburhood. He was a adeacon.-
He starved his social nature because he
was deacon. He rcfrained from all par
ticipaiiou in a free and geperons life, be-
cause he was deacon. He made his
children hate Sunday, because he was a
deacon. He SO brought them up that
th.y considered themselves Unfortunate
in being the chiicren Of deacon. His
wife was p.tied by other ysonlep, because
she was the vile OF deacon. Nobody
loved hin. fhe came infn a circle whers
mcn were laughing or telling stories

Nobody grasped his hand cordially, or
slapped him on the shoulder, or spoke OF
him as good fellow. He seemed as dry
