GEN. FREMONTS MARCH.

From The Wheei,ng Intetligczea.
The march of Fremont from Franklin to StrasCurg
and beyond s g most incredible one, and one that
will never be appreciated by those who have not
lie made over 100 miles in less than week, and
that too, with the most limited transportation that
was probably ever assigned to q command OF tho
same size. The moving Of an army IL not the moving
of 60 many men. II includes the moving or rather
dragging Of immense pieces of artillery, with all their
heavy wheeled accoutermeDts, frequently requiring
10 aud ~ mules TO perceptibly move the wheeis
through mountain gorges and deep cute, mud holes
and rayines Bot even this is a small part OF the
moving. Subsistence has got to be not only pro-
vided ont transported and this again includes forage
for al the trains Of mules and horses companies OF
cavalry, &c. Ambulsnces with their sick ana
wounded have got TO be moved Thousands 81 BAR
res of -four meat and all sorts Of commissary stores
have got to be moved also. In q word all the end.

Gen Fremont had to make his march over haf .
dozen ranges and spnrs Of mountains. He he'd 10
cross all the various intersections and combinations
Of the Shenandoah, with all their mountain streams
Yet he came to time. He was bound 10 come 70
time when he left Franklin, if II was Ia the limits
Of human endurance 10 do so. He, himself, led the
ad vance from the start, and with bis maps ana ms
guides piloted the way. His march was almost

by him than was made by Napoleon.
Such marching is not the way, OF course, 10 move
