Fremont for the Third Fine.

According to the old prOverb. the third trial
decides the question. The Administration, very
much bothered to know whether or not Fremont
is a real General, has determined to give him
this decisive trial. The greatest Abolition hero
appears upon the stage of action for the third
time, therefore. like debutant who, having fail
ell twice as Richard the Third, is allowed one
more night to redeem himself or justify his dis
mssa Fremont, indeed. resembles the usual
stage Richard in being mere theatrical General
His GeneTalship is all i'm his uniform. He slash
es sbOut amazingly amid frantic hi-hi's from the
black pit of the Tribune Office; but he never
really hurts anybody. The blood he spills is not
the real stuff, but usually comes from poor Gree
leys inkstand. He gives US all the sound and
fury of battle; but he Injuries the rebels not half
much as Edwin Forrest does the unfortunate
wight who PLAYS Richmond to his Richard. He
acts with great applause from the Abolitionists
but at the conclusion OF his performance sensible
people think that they have paid their money to-
wards his salary foolishly. and that they might
better have patronized some other actor.
This theatrical General Fremont appeared for
the first time in Missouri, where he accomplished
nothing. President Lincon's proverbial generos
ity was appealed to, and he gave Fremont the
benefit of second trial in Western Virginia,
where he achieved precisely the same result as in
Missouri. Two such failures would have dis
gusted any but the best natured President that
ever blessed this country; but President Lincoln
benevolence is inexhaustible, and he has at last
concluded to try General Fremont for the third
time. To put Fremont in command twice iE the
same State, however, would inevitably result in
the annihilatiOn of all the Union forces in that
commonwealth; and therefore the President has
given MIN an entirely new field Of operations
Fremont, like the bankrupts and heavy debtors
OF few years ago, is now entitled to the order
of the g. T. T.. He has literally gone to Texas
The feelings OF the unhappy people of that beau
tifu section OF the country, upon the receipt of
this intelligence. may be imagined, but can not
be described IL would be equally impossible for
US 70 adequately portray the general joy with
which this information will be received by the
people OF this portion of the republic. The Abo-
lltl0nIsts will rejoice because Fremont, their ia
vorite General, has departed in glory to a new
command. The public generally will content it.
self with rejoicing that be has departed.
To be successful IN the department of Texas,
Fremont will require maps. music, mules money
and mulattoes. We trust that the President will
see that he is literally supplied with these essen.
tlals without delay. Fremont will require many
maps; for, although he is nickDamed the Path
finder, he has a very bad habit OF losing his way,
especially when the enemy Is anywhere on his
road. To prevent this accident occurring again,
as it did in the Shenandoah 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. Fremont will also need music to inspire
bis spirits and solace his hours of rest. We all
know how he dotted upon his private brass band
at st. Louis; and that Muzo and Ullman
are out Of employment, and hddlers are cheaper
than horses. Secretary Stanton can provide him
with first class orchestra at 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 Tri-
bHRe corps are otherwise engaged, the Govern
ment will have to procure fOurfoOted animals for
this purpose. Fremont will want money most OF
all, his campaign Missouri abundantly
proves, and it may be well Tor ths 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 cannot get along without mu.
iattoes 20 wait upon him and swell his regal reti
nue.. If his army is TO remain in Texas any
time. however, il will not be necessary for the
Government send the mulattoes down to
! him.
