where General Nathaniel Lyon was slain,
Fremont proclaimed martial law, arrested
active secessionistS and suspended the
publication of papers charged with disloy-
atty. On August 81 he issued a proclama-
tion assuming the government of the state
and announcing that ne would emancipate
the slaves of those in arms against the
United States. President Lincoln wrote to
him, approving all of the proclamation, eX-
ceDt the emancipation clause which he con-
sidered premature He asked Fremont to
Withdraw it, which he declined, and the
president annulled it himself in a public
order. In the autumn Fremont moved his
army from the Missouri river in pursuit Of
the enemy.
Meanwhile many complaints had been
made of his administration, it being al
legged that it was insufficient, though ar
bitrary and eXtravagant, and he was, on
November =, 1861, relieved from his COM
mand, Just as he had overtaken the con-
federateS at Sprin gield. On leaving his
army he went to st. Louis, where he was
enthusiastically received by the citizens.
In March, 1862, he was given the command
OF the newly created mountain district of
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. In
the early part of June his army engaged a
superior force under General jackson for
eight days, with sharp skirmishing, the
OUeD1y EcUTedIiHS SlDHIy, O6SuIOyl lu9 Cul-
verts and bridges to cause delay. The
pursuit was terminated with a severe en-
gagement on the evening of June 8, in
which Jackson's chief of cavalry, General
Cross, was killed, and by the battle of
Cross Keys, June s.
On June 20 the president issued an order
creating the army of Virginia, to include
Fremont's corps, giving the command of it
to General Pope. ThereupOn Fremont
asked to be relieved, on the ground that he
could not serve under General Pope for
sufficient personal reasons. His request
having been granted he went to New York
to await further orders, but received no
other command during the war, though,
as he says, one was constantly promised
him. On May 81, 1864, a convention of Re-
publicans dissatisfied with Mr. Lincoln
met at Cleveland and rendered to General
Fremont d nomination for president, which
he accepted. In the following September
a committee of Republicans representing
the administration waited on him and
urged his withdrawal as vital to the sue
cess of the party. After considering the
matter for a week he acceded to their re-
quest, saying in his letter of withdrawal
that he did so, mot to aid in the triumph
of Mr. Lincoln, but to do my part toward
preventing the election of the Democratic
candidate"

AT an Indians Grave.

Along the shore Of Oneida Lake
there is an Indians grave, where at
times q weird and supernatural
light makes its appearance. 1t is
described rs n hall OF fire about the
size Of large orange, and sways to
and fro in the air about twenty feet
from the ground, combining its ir-
regular movements within a space
about 100 feet square. People have
attempted 10 go near enough to solve
the mystery, but il would suddenly
disappear before reaching il. 4 very
peculiar story i told by the neigh
bors near the spot They claim that
many years ago the locality was part
of an Indian reservation. a man
by the name OF Belknap frequently
dreamed that there was crock in
the Indian cemetery containing inn
mense tire tsures, and that If he went
there at the hour when graveyards
yawn he could secure IT. These
dreams were repeated so often that
they had a strong effect, and he
went there with a pick and shovel,
according 10 instructions, but he
failed 10 turn round three times
when he found the crock, as the
dream directed. He went 10 pick it

lightning, and the crock disappeared.
