humorous, kindly or admonitory re-
mark to each. Perhaps it was only q
fervent God bless youn' but it lin
gered in the soldiers mind in the long
marches and fierce fighting that fol
lowed.
Throughout the terrible weeks fol-
lowing Bull Run Lincoln remained eX-
ternally calm and serene. Despite his
burden of undivided responsibility,
greater than that of Washington"
his faith in the final outcome seemed
never disturbed 1t was almost as
though in the deep and mystical ma

Lincoln Visits Virginia Camps.
On Aug. u Lincoln and three mem
bers of his cabinet, Seward. Chase
and Cameron, accompanied by Gen
erai Mcclellan visited all the camps
on the Virginia side of the Potomac.
At this time the relations between the
president and General Mcclellan were
cordial, and in his "Own Story" Nc
Clelan wrote, referring to a later
period, "My relations with Mr. Lincoln
were generally very pleasant, and l
seldom had trouble with him when we
could meet face to face" SO far as
| can discover this is about the only
good word General Mcclellan ever had
to say of any Of his superiorS Scott,
Stanton and Halleck he scored I'M
mercifully. But, outside of Scott. all
this came later, possibly for the reason
that Stanton had not yet become sec
rotary of war and Halleck had not yet
been placed in chief command of the
army.
Second to Mcclellan, perhaps the
most popular major general appointed
by Lincoln up to this time was John
C. Fremont, the pathfinder" across
the Rockies and the first Republican
candidate for president. Yet COM
plants against Fremont had begun al
most as soon as he took command at
ST. Louis One of the most serious
charges against him was that he had
refused to reinforce Lyon and had
therefore been the indirect cause of
the death Of that brave and capable
general. Other criticisms were that
ne overreached his authority, that he
was personally inaccessible, that he
was impractical and showed n lack
of military experience and capacity.
On Aug. 80 Fremonts acts raised a
much more serious question. That
was the date of his famous proclama-
ton declaring the entire state of Mis-
souri, under martial law, fixing pen
alties of those in rebellion against the
freeing their slaves. This at once
raised a storm IN the border states
and representations were made to Lin
coin that unless Fremonts action in
freeing the slaves was disavowed 1t
might lose kentucky to the Union.
Famous Proclamation Disavowed.
Lincoln wrote a kindly letter to
Fremont. pointing out that his procla-
nation was not in harmony with the
act of congress relating to the slaves
of those in rebellion and asking him
to modify his pronunciamento to con-
form to the law. This Fremont re-
fused to do and invited the president
himself to disavow the proclamation
If he did not approve 1t.
The president had no choice but to
