ri J. a 'l Jptofal NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. Little Willis Lincoln, boh of President Lin- ooln, 1i.ii sent us'the following vorses, wHlcli' arn qulto creditable, an a first effort, for one so young. We Insert tliem with pleasure, nnd hope that Willie's desire, as expressed In the last verse, will meet with a ready responao by the whole country. It should not be forgotten that the rebels gave Mrs.

Jackson one hundred ITiousa nil doHnrj; Charleston alone giving twenty thousand YVasuinotoh, D. 0., Ootnber 30, 1801. DkarRik: I enclose you my flrttt attempt at poetry. Yours trnlr, William W. Lincoln.

The Editor of tho National Republican. LINUS On the death or Colonel Kilnaid Ilaker. There was no patriot llko Baker, So noble and so true; He fell as a soldier on tho field, Ills f.ico to tho sky of blue His volco Is silent In the hall. Which oft his presence grao'd, more he'll hear thq loud acclaim, Which r.ing from plaoe to plaoo. squeamish notions filled his breast, The Union was his tliemo, No surrender nnd no compromise," His day thought and night's dream.

His country has her part to play, To'rds those he has left behind, Ills widow and his children all, She must always keep In mind. THE FKKMONT AFFAIR. Tho following Iroin the New York Times Is a correct statement (so far as It goes) of the complaints against General Fremont undo to Adjutant General Thomas, and embodied by tho latter in his report of October 21. Wo no tlce only tho single Inaccuracy, that Colonel Audrows does not, in so many words, say that he was threatened with Imprisonment by Fre mont's order," although, perhaps, that Is to be Inferred: From the New York Time). 1.

Gen. Curtis, of Lpwa, late member of Congress, but now General In command at St. Louis, says that he would freely express a military opinion to Gen. Scott, but would not dare to do eo to Gea. Fremont." lie considered him (Fremont) unequal to the command of the army In Missouri." "He (Fremont) wos no more bound by tho law than by the winds." 2.

Col. Andrews, chief paymaster, represented great irregularities in bis department. He was threatened with imprisonment, by Fre mont'l order, for refusing to pay a claim that ho was not by law authorized to pay he being under oath to pay according to law, and under bonds to account, according to law, for the money in his hands. 3. Col.

Fremont required payment for two hundred commissioned officers irregularly appointed by himself, and had twenty-one commissioned officers In a body of only 300 men. lie appointed a Musical Director to his department from one of the St. Louis theatres, and gave him the title, and required him to be paid us "Captain of Engineers 1" 4. A member of Col. Fremont'a staff was a contractor for bay, mules, fcc and had a part' ner named Degrat.

The partner on tfho staff obtained an order from lien, brcmont, com-mandinir all persons holding bay fur the Gov eminent to deliver It to Degrat, "tnkttig only bis receipt therefor." Uy this means the part ners could borrow frpm the Government lis own hay, and sell It back to the Government, acd repiirt tho operation till all tho profits ot tliclr contract were realized, without really having lurnlahed the Government a pound ot hay. 6. Gen. Davis, another member of Gen. Fremont's obtained direct contract for blankeU.

They wire delivered, and condemned as worthless; but this judgment was overruled, nud the blankets paid fcr by the Government. V. OapL McKoevor, Assistant' Adjut int General, states that one weok after th President's letterwas received lu St Louis, modifying Gen. Fremont's proclamation, Gen. Fremont ordered him to have two hundred copies of the procla matton printed and circulated, without the President's modification.

(A copy of Fremont's order lu this cash is given.) 7. Gen. Hunter, the next general la rank to Fremont, and commanding the first division of Fremont's army in tho Held, alat-s tint there Is greut confusion In the army, and that "Fremont Is utterly Incompetent" Ho (F. had marched one regiment into the field "with out knapacks or provisions, carrying (Aeir car- iriages tit metr waistcoat piiaceis, uvucvi were au ipoitml by rain the first day tho men were kept iu the rain all night, wiibout tents or shi 1-ter, and twenty-tour uours without lood, and the first food (beef) they got was spoiled. This whs tho first ly out from JefTlrmii City.

Gen. Hunter sUlos that lie was ordered by Fremont to march from Jetferson City, taking forty- one when ho had Only forty mules," and bad po reported to lie.uliju irters. Geo. Hun-tor further states, that while Price wai in uchlng upon Lexington, Fremont exhibited to him a plan tor retaking Springfield." n. Hunter suggested that I here was no enemy atSprlngfl Id, and that he thought It would be better to ad-vanco upon Price towards Lexington, which there was plenty of time to do.

lint It was not done. The order to Gen. Sturgls to go to the relief of Col. Mulligan was not Issued for two ditua after Gen. Hunter urged It on Fremont, and those, two days lost to the Union Col.

Mulllg in and bis gallant army of 3,500 men. Gen. Hunter stales mat a colonel or bis division reported to him "that of one hundred guns In bis com raand only twenty could be Ored." Theso were of Fremont's European purchase. Though It Is so laio in the sen-ion, Gen Fremont ordered 600 tons of ice to be sent from St. Louii to Jcf- ferson City for the use of his army, and 500 half barre's to carry water.

TIIK DKeflCNCIS. Hat Ing briefly presented the charges agalust Gen. Fremont, It Is bust justice In nil concerned that equal currency should bo glvtn to matters set up as a defence. Tho flret article appeared In tbj New York Tribune, and Is endorsed by tint paper, although the writer Is anonymous The second Is oflloial, and theieloru is entitled to the fullest credit: QHmilAL FREMONT 8 l'URCHAHIS IV ECI10I-B. To the Editor of the A'eio IVioune; Bin: tne arms wuicu uen.

renioui uouyui In Kurope wore: 2,000 rilles, fiOO revolvers, 8 rifl-il cannon, with shot anil shell, and 2,000,000 percussion caps. The rifle were, new nnd of the precise pattern of tho best Lydird rlflt In use in me rrencu army, rum werei mane ui Liege In Belgium. After Gen. Fremont's return to the United Stales, tho Secretary of War, Mr. Cameron, sent an order to Mr.

Adirns Mr. Diyton to purchase 20.000 more rules of the same kind as thoso purchased by Gen. Fremont Still later, Mr. Schqyler, sent to Europo as a special agent to procure arms, ofTered to buy rifles of tho same pattern tojthe number of 100.000. And a contract was mfide 1V him for 20,000 rill's absolutely, and for 28,000 more If they ornild be furnished.

And the rifl'i Is tho samo In every repect ns lth" 2 000 rmrohased by Gen. Fremont, save ihat Gen. Fremont's were) mado in the others In I-ranee. The 600 revolvers purchased by Gen. Fremont were so highly approved that Mr.

Schuyler iwight to bay 10,000 more of the pime kind. i Tho rifled cannon, tight In number, were 12.nnnn1prs. and ffprfl made to order, nnd thero Is no better rifled cannon of Its size In the eeivlce. These were all the arms purchased by Gen. Fremont in Europo.

Ho dedrcd to purchaso a larger quantity, at a lime when arms could have been had at pence prices; and If he had been furnished the means, tho very arms wlvJch Mr. Schuyler Is conlraclingfornow.tnbe In nt some luture time, would have been teaftidy in the hands of our soldiers. Gcb. Fremont paid for Iheso new.rifles each, ne conld have had 60,000 or 100.000 nt the same price, and one lot of 10,000 French rifles was offered at $13.60, which have since been sold by other parties to the War Derhrt ment In Washington for $27. Gen.

Fremont thought, at the very first, that while the country would pour forth Its soldiers for the war, there would be an absolute Impossibility to arm them, and ho rought to rend to the United States at once 100,000 small arms and 100 rifled cannon, together with sabres and cavalry equipments for 25,000 men. But be was not allowed to tie so, and the result is (hat Government Is buylug to-day tho very rifles he to buy, and nt higher prices, nnd Is giving $0 and $7 for sabres wh(ph he could have bad for $3, and is procuring neither tho rifles nor sables fast enough. For this reason, In some parts of the country whole regiments of cavalry and Infantry await arms and equipments. But this Is not the worst of it. The very few arms which Gen.

Fremont did buy. amonnting only to $50,000 or though approved by the Government, and made the samples for other purchases which a special agent Is directed to mike, are pronounced utterly worthless; and the impression Is sought to be created that he purchased and sent over all sorts of good for nothing tru'li, In which all sorts of speculators made any amount of money. And this. too. In fac of the fact that the Administration expressed great satisfaction with the few purchases Gen.

Fremont did make, and wrote to Mr. Adams and Mr. Dayton that it was a matter of regret that they had not furnished blm with funds to have procured larger quantities, which the Government then authorized Mr. Adams and Mr. Dayton themselves to procure, and which the Government are buying now through the agency of Mr.

Schuyler. Perhaps a mistake has been mado by Mr. Cameron and Adj. Gen. Thomas.

Certainly, the arms purchased in Europe by Gn. Fremont were too few In number to have excited so much remark. They probably refer to European arms that have been purchased In St. Louis by Gen. Fremont since be took command.

If so, they should not fall to take into consideration, that not having been allowed to purobao arms In haropo to any extent, Gen. Fremont, on his arrival here. was directed, in connection wun atiij. uagner of the Quartermaster's Department, to procure arms In New York for the Western Department; that by dint of great labor they Fecured arms for a corps d'armfi of 25,000 men. and that these arms, after Gen.

Fremont leM for S. Louis, were all sent to Washington, and that he never recoived any portlou of them; and that tho War Department, on being remonstrated with for this, sent to Gen. Fremont a requisition on the St Louis arsenal for 5,000 muskets, when thero was, to their own knowledge, not one inside ot Its walls; and that Anally, Gen. F. was obliged to pick up such arms as ho could find, or go without.

If be has been compelled to purchase poor arms and pay largo prices for them, the fault Is not with him, but with the se who should have furnished bis department with arms, and not left to him the no res Ity of purchasing at all. Ofallthemeninthe country, the last to be blamed in this matter ot arms, is Geu. Fremont, who at the very outset of tho war, comprehended the great need of our country in this respect, and whose pi in was to purchase large quantities of first arms and equipments nt peace prices In Eu rope, aiiil at the samo time ret every gun shop in the North at work. If ho hal hiiccced' in Ills endeavor, the country would have hail no occasion to be buying all sorts of arms, hawked about by speculators, of all sorts of qualities, and at all sorts of prlcos. Nor would we be seeing at this day regiments of cavalry without saddles or sabres, nor rifles coming fo slowly to soldiers ready to shoulder them.

Least of all, would there have boon any opportunity for blaming Gen. Fremont for bis want of discretion or good sense or honesty in tho purchase of arms. I am, sir, Ac One Who Knows. Nkw Yoiuc, Oct. SO, 1801.

PuiMnuruu, Oct. 31, 1801. To Brig. Gen. L.

Ttiiomai, Adjutant Gen. U. S. Army It Is 'mportant I should correct, without do- lay, some errors In reference to mjself, which I tlnd in your published report to the Secro lury of War, under date of Oct. 28 1SG1.

Gen Fremont did not give mo any contract lor blankets, or lor anything else. As regularly appointed assistant quartermaster by th President, nominated, and, by and with tho advice and consent of the Senate, nppolnted by him, tas my commission stutc,) 1 presume I was legally competent, uud by law bound, to make such purchases as my commanding general ordered me to do. The blankets you refer to wore a portion of my puichase. Tho board that condemned them did not report tint they were rotten and worthless" When tho report leached Gen. Fremont hu sent for me, and expressinc irreit dhnleasnrt, requlitd Ihat the blankets should be returned.

I as sured him thit there must be some mistake In iho eport, and rcnuested him to smnend his approval of It. I ro xamlned the samples by which tho goods worn bought, found them not to berotten nnd worthless, hut commercially speaking, sound. As somn of tho goods cost not much over a dollar a blanket, and tho lot i on an avenue, about $1,40 each, ns near na 1 can leraemuer, aim were part cotton, inoy could not be as strong or ns serviceable as goods composi-d only of wool, and costing from uiree to iour iioiinrs enci. Although mortified by tho report, I was satis-fled the nurchvo was good one. that tho ggods were sound, and that If they would not 'lilt for one pnrpore lliey would for some other, nhero they were equally needed by the department, I manifcsled my opinion with somo earnestness lo Piose wllb whom I came In contact, made a written report lo the general of my view of the nITiIr, and asked that committee of merchants should lie appointed to examine the blankets.

Whll't the commanding reneral had my request under consideration, one of the board who had condemned them came lo my offlc, nnd said to me, the Board of Survey would like tho general lo allow thorn to re-examine tne goods. This was granted by the general, and a new survey was dernl by sOstant Adjutant General Kelton. I was present, nnd wo found that whilst some of the blankets, those weighing from flvo to six and iliree-quartera pounds per pair, could not be torn by us, the lowest priced ones could. One member of tho board, who seemed to havo the most objection to receiving them, said that what he meant by tho word "rotten," In the original report, wns not fit for soldiers in the Held.1' I was sure his motive was good, for bin anxiety was that each soldier should have in all-wool blanket, not to weigh less thin four pounds, and lo bo army standard In size. The WanUet-i wcro as well suited lor tbue or tho army during tho last three months as etaudard blankets will be for tho coming six.

I do not know what the second report was, but as I was Informed fuiuo days after the second Inspection, by tho assistant quartermaster, who at the head of the clothing department, that I could now liavo a receipt lor tho mantlets, nnd tliat tlicy had been Issued, I considered tho airatr satisfactorily settled. I do not know that they wero not sent to the hospital, but upon a fuller examination, I think it will be found Ihat they were not. Hut even If they were, I do not seo that thl should reflect discredit upon those engaged in tho transaction. In Exhibit 11 published by you, I find ray name lu tho list as one of the officers in tho body-guard. From your report, I Infer that ynur inlormntlon comes from the paymaster's olllce.

It Is entirely Incorrect, as ou may ascertain from Col. Andriws, if you think proper to inqulro of Mm. I can only account for the misstatements you buvemade In rcfcrcnco to myself, from the fact that when you wero in St Louts I was confined to my bed, and thaty" -esumed from the reports you saw and he- it you bad tho whole truth bclore you in to tuesn allatrs. Very respectfully, M. Davh, Assistant Quartermaster.
