Gen. Fremont Endorsed.

GS- The Committee upon the con.
duet Of the war, in their report, very
fully endorse the course of Gen. FIRE.
MONT as commander Of the Western De.
partment. They say that bis admins
tratlon was eminenlly characterized bv
earnestness, ability and loyalty. In the
erection Of the notifications about ST
Louis lie but carried on what Gen. LYON
deemed necessary, and in respect to re-
iniorcing points threatened by the
enemy, the committee believe he acted
with energy and promptness. The fail
ure to render assistance TO MuLL1GAN
arose from causes over which Gen. FIRE
MONT had no control. He perceived the
advantage to result from gunboats for
Western rivers, and the brilliant victoli-
es Of the West bear enduring testimony
to the correctness of his judgment, The
committee also thinks that FREMoNT's
emancipation proclamation, at tina, early
day, was the most efficient means Of
crushing the rebellion, in proof of which
il is only necessary TO state that his sue
cessor, when transferred to another de
partmeni, issued a proclamation embody-
ing the same principle, and the President,
as Com ma nd ar in Chief has annliad Ihe
same principle TO the rebelIous States
as whole Thus, after months OF de-
traction and misrepresentation, Gen
Fremont finds himself sustained and his
Judgment vindicated. And yet, through
the hostility Of Gen. HALLEcK, and the
West Point influence, lie is kept in in
glorious idleness, while demonstrated
incompetency is still honored with com

A VERDICT FOR THE STATE,-In the
case of The Mortified Bank VS.. Brown,
in which q verdict has just been render
cd in our Court, the State was really
the party in interest, defending the pro-
perty for which the bank sued and of
which it had a bill of sale. The proper
ty was taken by Mr.. Brown, as sheriff,
on the writs against II. M. Bates, late
state treasurer, and his securities, and
suit was brought by the bank to recover
its value, which was claimed to be over
$4,000. The verdict for the defendant
saves the state this sum, although it had
realized considerably less on sale Of the
property.
The plaintiff took exceptions to the
charge Of Judge Peck, and will take the
case TO the Supreme Court on questions
of law.-EFeeman.

the son of one of our wholesale mer-

was exposed to the chilly atmosphere,
which resulted in an extensive enlarge

aid of the best physicians was at once
employed. The case proved to be scrof-
ula. After treating him for some years,
they finally gave him up as incurable, as
his system was SO much reduced and
emaciated by the discharge of the ulcers.
His father was at this time recommen-
ded to try Scovills Blood and Liver Syr-
