Fremont.

The Fremont movement in this State
is beginning to be a big thing. The fol
lowers of the pathfinder" are marshall
ing their forces for a heavy engagement.
Their columns are increasing with as
founding rapidity The disaffection in
the Abolition ranks is daily charging,
and every breach made into the Lincoln
forces adds to Fremont's strength. In
several counties in this State Fremont will
get more votes than LINCOLN. There is
an element in the Abolition party which
hates despotism worse than it hates Cop
perheadism. Between the two evils they
propose to choose least. Stand from I'M
der IMnscatine {Zoaoa3 Courier.
Fremont is daily gaining friend every
where. Truly, the supporters of ABE
LINcoLN's Despotism had better make
heir peace with their father, the Devil,
for their days are numbered.

The Sinking of the Alabama.

The Asia reached Liverpool on the
10Th. TIE report brough by the Arabia
that the rebel cruiser Alabama had gone
out from Cherbourg to fight the U. S.
steamer Kearsage, which was lowering
off that port, turned out to be true, and
resulted in the sinking of the Alabama.
The encounter was witnessed by the Eng
fish steam yacht Deerhound, that vessel
having picked up Capt. Semmes. and the
crew of the Alabama, took them to Cow
es, and furnished the following details
On the morning of Sunday, the 10Th,
at 10 so A. M, the Alabama was obser-
we'd steaming out of Cherbourg harbor to-
wards the Kearsage. At IL 10 the Ala
bama commenced the action by firing
with her starboard battery at a distance
of about a mile. The Kearsage also open
ed fire Immediately with her starboard
guns, and a sharp engagement with rapid
firing fiom both ships was kept up. Both
vessels made seven complete circles at a
distance OF from a quarter to half a mile.
A IL o'clock the firing from the Alabama
was observed to slacken, and she appear
ed to be making head sail and shaping
her course for land, which was distant
about 8 miles. At IL 80 the Confederate
vessel was in a disabled and sinking
state.
The Deerhound Immediately made to-
wards her, and in passing the Kearsage
was requested to assist in saving the crew
of the Alabama. When the Deerhound
was still at a distance of 100 yards, tie
Alabama sank, and the Deerhound then
lowered her boats, and with the assistance
of those from the Alabama succeeded in
saving 80 men, including Semmes and Is
officers.
The Alabama's.l loss in killed and woun
ded is as follows: Drowned, one officer
and one man ; killed, six men wounded,
one officer and sixteen men. Captain
Semmes was slightly wounded in the
hand. The Kearsage's boats were lower
ed, and with the assistance of the French
pilot succeeded in picking up the remain
der of the crew.
The Morning Herald says the Alabama
was terribly in want of repairs. Her
tent as to deprive her of her only advan-
tage, superiority ofspeed, while the Kear-
sage was fresh from port, and kept pur-
pcsely in order for the contingency of an
encounter with the Alabama. The Ala
bama was, however, from the first over
matched-the crew Of the Kearsage con-
sisted of $50 to her 100, and the Kear-
sage carried two 100 Founders. It is
that a formal challenge to fight was
given by the Kersnge and accepted by
Captain Semmes.
According to some accounts the Kear-
sage has sustained considerable damage,
her sides torn open and showing the
Chain plating.

THE ATLANTIC & GREAT WESTERN
AND Mr.. MARVIN KENT.-The Wash
ington Chronicle, in an article, headed,
Great Men, pays the following tribute to
Marvin Kent:
The celebration took place at Dayton,
where the last spike was driven into the
last rail by Marvin Kent, Esq, who pro-
jected the route in 1850, and, in 1858,
drove the first spike. The name of MIR.
Kent will be now to most of our readers,
perhaps /; but certainly the man who pro,
jected a railroad twelve hundred miles
long, six foot gauge, persuaded thousands
of meuEcapitalists, Legislators, and 9th
ers-to come into his grand plans, and
who drove the first and last spike into the
first and last rail which were put down,
deserves to be known, honored, and re-
membered a great deal longer than hun
dreds of others who achieve notoriety, if
not fame, by deeds demanding less brain,
energy, and frmness of purpose in the
performance, and comforting less benefit
upon society by their consequences.

is conscientious, will be a Peace man in

the timid Peace mar that his PARTY is
strong enough to protect its disciplines in
the exercise of their right of free discus

1t is believed that no securities ofor SO
great inducements to lenders as the various
descriptions of q. S. Bonds. In oil Other
forms of Indebtedness, the faith or ability Of
private parties or stock companies or separate
communities only is pledged for payment.
while for the debts of the United States the
country is holden to secure the payment Of
both principal and interest in coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums
from $50 up to any magnitude, on the same
terms, and are thus made equally available to
the smallest lender and the largest capitalist.
They can be converted.into money at any mo-
ment, and the holder will have the benefit Of
the interest. f =
1t may be useful 20 state in this connection
that the total Funded Debt of the United
on which interest is payable in Gold, on the
Sd day of March, 1864, was $76S, e66, o00.-
The interest on this debt for the coming fiscal
year will be s45, 1877, 126, while the customs
revenue in gold for the current fiscal year,
ending June 3Oth. 1864, has been SO far at
the rate of over $1,000, OoO, 900 per annum.
1t will be seen that even the present gold
revenues of the Government are largely in ex-
cess of the wants of the Treasury for the pay
ment Of gold interest, while the recent in
crease of the tariff will doubtless raise the an
nual receipts from customs on the same amount
of imporsaions, to $4,000. 900 per snnuE.
