Fremont leaves tbe city to day for the interior of Western Virginia. What point be will start for, or what route he will take, and where his mAin operations will commence, remain, of course, a secret, as yet. His department is a large one, and altogether different from any of the others. His troops will have a different kind of work to do from other troops. Skirmish ing, and putting down guerrillas, restoring local law and order, and reassuring Union people over a large tract of country, seems lo be chiefly tbe work of bis command.? He has a great field before hiin io South western Virginia?a section as yet held in undisputed sway by the rebels. He will, uo doubt, make haste lo remove from our people there the irsu y?ke of Ihe rebels. We maydepeud upou it that the May days will witness a complete ridding out of the rebels from all parts of Western Virginia. Io the mean time we presume prepara tions are going ou lo relieve tbe Kast Tennessee people. All the country east ot ? Hue drawn North and South through Knoxville is within (iea. Fremont's De_ pxrtinenl. We kuotv that it is bis special desire and ambition to go as speedily as possible to the rescue ot the noble patriots there who have suffered so much nod so long at tbe hands of the rebels. Parson Browulow has told us that Gen. Fremont is a favorite there, and be aud all bis fellow sufferers iu that section will enthusiasti cally rally round tbe General's bauner. Gen. Fremont's stay io Wheeling hag been longer than be expected. The reas on Las beeu that he found that he had to orgauize his whole Department. In a thousand particulars he lacked facilities for carrying out the work before him. He has been laboriously eugaged ever since he reached the city. No man could show more untiring devotion to bis business.? What he has achieved in the work of mili tary organization, aud in the furtherance of civil law in West Virginia, will never be known until the official record comes to be made up. A specimen of it was published yesterday in Ihe fiodiiigs of his court martial,and in sentencing three mur derous bushwhackers to death. These desperadoes are Guding out that there is a government, and that their game is a dangerous one. It is Gen. Fremuut's in tention to put them down or exterminate them. Very few of them will trouble the Court officers from this time ou. The "swear-and-let-go" practice has been en tirely abandoned. Trial by court martial and death by bauging are to be the order of the'day. The guerrillas may as well make up their minds at once to this, for a stern will is after them. When Gen. Fremont came to Wheeling he bad more prejudice to encounter we suppose, than any emu who ever came here. We bear of no instance io which personal or official intercourse has not broken down that prejudice. It is only those who read, hear or see but one side that retain it. His quiet unassuming man ner and his devotion to his work have im pressed everybody who has had anything to do with him. All the foolish talk about his inaccessibility has been found Untrue. No man could be more accessible who has the same business to do. He has no time, and never did have, to waste on people, bnt be bss time for all persons who hate business with him, and tbe good use he makes of his intercourse with every individual has been many times re marked. He studiously gleaus every par ticle or information that concerns bis De partment from every one who has it to give, and on all occasions be has shown himself only too glad to consult the wishes of our Western Virginians in every matter that concerned tbem. Indeed, for one who has the reputation among his enemies of being insubordinate, tbe deferential and subdued mannerism of Gen. Fremont is a matter of note. What particularly arrests the attention of a convener with tbe General is the fact that he has nothing to say about himself,either Ineidently or directly,and tbe fact also that he ipeaks mildly and with apparently no feeling in reference to the at tacks upon him in and out of Congress. He wears the air all the time of a man who j is content "to labor aod to wait," and who in the meanwhile is assured beyond a doubt of his final triumph. One thing Is certain, as any one can see, that Gen. Fre mont has conqnered himself, and like that character In scripture who was pronounced greater than he who captured a city, he rules his own spirit. We are not at liberty of course to speak in reference to the number of troop3 in the Mountain Department. Suffice it to say it is much greater than many people suppose. Some four or five Brigadier Generals have commands within it. The combinations which will be made are dependent on ope rations within Gen. Banks Department and the general requirements of the service along the line of the Potomac and Rappa hannock. Gen. Fremont may at auy time be ordered to act in conjunction with the movements that look towards Richmond, or he may be left to pursue operations within his own Department. For the pres ent he is doing a busy work, as we have stated, with guerrillas and local rebels of all kinds. Geu. Schenck, for instauce, is ai-ouriug the country thoroughly as he ad vances up through Hardy and Pendleton counties. We have understood that he has complete li9ts of all the grades aud classes of local rebels that infest that country, and : that when one is brought before bim, be knows just at once what to do with him. Gen. Milroy is active a!l the time. Nearly ? every day he bags* or kills a lot of | these villains, aud hi* troops are fast reducing the country to a condition of secu rity for life and property. There is a line ! of operations l'rom the Kanawha Val ! ley throughthe Big'Saudy to Cumberland Ford. True, that liue is not heard much from these times,but is a very important line notwithstanding. The portion of country through which it extends has been badly used up by the rebels. The people have beeu demoralized, owing to the doubt ful teuure by which it has alternately been held by our forces and by the rebels.? I Order and peace are being restored along i this line, while at the *ame time the troops threaten the Covington and Staunton rail road, and also the Virginia aud Tennessee road. Uuder the restrictions now upon news, no mere outline of operations in a great department like that of the Mountains, can he very satisfactory. We make these notes, however, to-day, to let our readers see that there is a large military business going on in what has been considered a merely uoui inal department. We greatly mistake mat ers if some very brilliant achievements do not yet occur within its limits. About New Or lean*. The telegraphic news from New Orleans will make the following statement of a refugee who has arrived in New ^ ork, and published it in the Herald, a matter of in terest: There are a great many Uniou men iu the city, but they are afraid to say any thing, as the parish prison is so contigu ous, and a great many have been incarcer uted there for the expression ol Union sen timents. There weie seven old men, who had been ' following the occupation ot tisliermeu on the lakes from seven to fifteen years, ar rested iu New Orleaua and seut to the par ish prison. Having been kept thero some time, they were tnkeu out of prison at 12 o'clock at night, handcuffed and hanged, without any trial, because the city author ities thought they had knowu too much, and might run down to the blockading fleet for the purpose of either piloting them up or giving them information. Oue poor old man, a carpeuier by trade, who has a wife aod Gve chiliren, has been confined six months in the parish prison for saying '-Abe Lincolu was a tar better ? man than Jeff. Davis."' Another was con fined three months because he said JelF. Davis was a "political scouudrel aud thief," and damned the Southern Confederacy gen . erally. Wheu people are arrested they get no trial, but an examination before Mayor Monroe, who sends them to prison during the war. If any of them happen to have money to pay a lawyer, who will not take a case short of one hundred dollar?1, he stands some chance of getting out after three months imprisonment. A great mauy of those in prison are English, Irish and Scotch, who claim British protection ; but as Mr. Muir, the British Consul "stepped out" aud left a youug Creole in his office, who had not tho experience or knowledge of his duties, they are uuable to procure a release. Our informant says he has carried letters from these prisoners to the Consul's deputy; but be never troubled himself about Ibein. Tbe pris oners nre put in tbe criminal Vilrils witb tbieves, murderers. counterfeiter*, Jec., and nre very scantily fed. They are locked up sixteen hours out of the twenty-four, and but very little light is allowed to enter tbeir cells. Three young oystermeu, not long since, set out in & schooner belouging to -one of the party, lor n short pleasure sail. Being discovered by the captain of the "Screw men Ouard,-' stationed at l'roctorville, they were arrested, and,after beingcoufined tor two months, tried for the schooner to run down to the blockading fleet. They were found guilty and sentenced, one to eight and the others to twelve months bard labor on the fortifications. Every other week they were to be fed on bread and wa ter ; one was sentenced, in addition, to wear a ball and chain to his leg during the whole time. KVKRY DAY LIP* IN JIKW ORLKAXS. N'o such thing as gold or silver can be found in the city. Every business man is sues his own money. Gold is worth eighty . per cent. | Vierre Soule is uow one of tbe provost I marshals, aud has seven hundred men en ' yaged to burn the city at the approach of the Union forces. The following were the average prices for article, in New Urleans when he left: Salt, $12 per sack; $1 22 a $1 25 per ponnd; lard, 33 cenu per pound; potatoes, $8 per barrel; flour, $25 per barrel; pork, $50 per barrel; boots or shoes, $25 per pair, and In these proportions for everything else. The people would die of starvation if they had not the free market, whioh supplies them witb meat and vegetables twice a week. iron is scarce. They would buy any sor> of this now very useful article at tbe highest price?If they conld'get it. There arj eighty tons of, powder stored in tbe new Marine Hospital. Tbe banks have cut five dollar bills in two to make them two aod a half. As fast as tbe merchants procure Con federate money they bny cotton and sugar, intending, as soon as they are attacked by. tbe Union forces, to put the American flag over this property for preservation. The merchants do not wish to hold tbeir mon ey, but invest it in real estate ani inch like. There is one Onion paper in tbe city? the Daily True DtUa?edited by llr. Mc Oinness. Tbe Picayune bad to suspend tbe publication ot its evening edition for want of paper. It is now printed on yel low, brown and all kinds of paper that can . j ? : . . : be picked up, and is reduced to half its 1 former size. Our informant further states that the worst secessionists in the city are Northern born men, the Vigilance Com- ! mittee being composed almost exclusively of this class, of which E. A. Tyler, a jew eller on Canal street, is the principal. THE TRAITOR TWIQQS. General Twiggs can be seen every day riding around the city in his barouche, drown by a span of horses, looking the very picture of a traitor, at the expense of his young wile's fortune. The cause of Gen. Twiggs resigning his commission was that the Mayor and Common Council appropri ated $1^00,000 for the protection of the city, and appointed a committee of five to superintend the works, which made old Twiggs "hopping uiad," because he could not have the handling of the money. He and the Mayor had u Hare-tip in conse quence, and he sent iu his resignation to JefT. Davis, stating that he was too old atd infirm to fill the office. Jeff. Davis then sent General Mansfield Loveall to take command of the Department of Louisiana. THE BULL RUN (UNION) PRISONERS. Four hundred and eighty-eight of the prisoners taken at Bull Bun and Manassas were brought to New Orleans and incarcera ted in the parish prison. They were es corted through the city by a regiment of darkies, under command of uOUl Jordan," who was at the battle of New Orleaus un der General Jackson. These prisoners were placed sixteeu in each cell, with one miserable blanket each. They were served with two scant meals a day, and were cov ered with vermin. General Fremont** Stair? Personal SlceCctiew?The llunKarlau? and vlielr Procllvtllea?ZaKouyl vn. Axliby. (OorrMpondeuce of the N. Y. Times.) Wheeling, April 20, 1802. In a previous letter you received some items of information concerning the mem bers of Gen. Fremont's SihIT who were then already ou the ground. Since that time, nearly all have reported themselves; end I suppose it will not be uuinteresting for you to learn what is most notable in regard to them. I must apologize for au accidental error in the former epistle, which represented the gallant Zagonyi as breveted at Chapultepec,at a time when he was in reality just winning his first laurels on the plaius of Trausylvnnia. Colonel Tracy, who ica* breveted in Mexico, is a tine specimen of uu infantry ofiicer. There is nothing he does not know that belongs to that arm of the service. Truth, which forces uie to praise him thus, insists, how ever, that I shall add that the valiant Col onel don't know hong, nor like it,?a cir cumstance which gives rise to many hu morous passages between him aud the officers of the Staff*. Partly at Geu. Fremont's owu request, I understand, aud still ofteuer at the urgent solicitation of foreign minsiters aud iuflu ential pcrsouages, quite a number of for. eign officers have been attached to this sttitr. Probably the most valuable acqui sition among the new comers is Lieut Col, Pilsen, a Huugariau artillery ofiicer from the army of the Potomac. He has been made chief of artillery in the departmeut and the good .effects of his extensive expe rieuce and brilliant acquirements are al ready visible. He is a fine looking officer with pleasant voice uud manner, anil speaks Kuglish and theCoutiueutal tongue* with fluency. Col. Figyelmesy is also a Hungarian, bill speuks Kuglish and Gertuau. He is abseui at present inspecting some regiments?? duty which he is well calculated perform. He fought lust iu Italy, with Garibtldi. Major Jlain is a German ofiicer, who has seen most of the world, aud desires to fin ish up with a look at Western Virginia which I predict he will find a little rough* er, even, than Australia or Peru. Several other foreign officers are here, but uot yet being assigned to any duty they have not shown their capacities. 1 must mention Col. Cluseret, a jaunty, hand some, devil-may-care Frenchman, whost assortment of languages comprise onlj French aud Arabic, the latter of which ht learned iu a campaign of many years ir. Algiers. But he picks up Knglish rapid Ij enough to talk it in a lew weeks, aud hi:; experience in rapid, wild, deserteatnpaign iug against a guerilla foe, will make him a valuable assistance. Capt. Hamlin, the son of our worthy Vice-Pre^ideut, is a tall, dark-haired, bright-eyed son of Maine, with the shrewd uess, good-nature and vigor of his unlive State. He has departed on a secret expe dition, which I suspect is nothing more ot less thau a hunt for a good horse, into the country. There is no fear but he will be successful. It's a waytliat family have. Capt. Hoppu, a young man of active looks and a keen, brave eye, impresses oue us a soldier who is likely to make his mark. Although no>t one of the General's Western Staff, he has already wouu a most confidential position, aud certainly merits it, if I may judge. As a whole, this Staff may be regarded as a remarkably efficient one. Some of the foreign officers will be, 1 suppose, detailed to different brigades ofBlenker's Division, where they can be of most service. Mean while, to the natives fuuder which appel lation Cols. Albert aud Zsgonyi deserve to come, for they have bought the right dear ly,) will be left the burden ot the work. It is a curious fact that no instance is on record of a Hungarian who has favored the Southern side iu this war. Probably ev ery other respectable nationality is repre sented iu the rebel ranks to-day. But Hungarians are lovers of liberty the world over. When Gen. Fremont was iu the West, his most secret dispatches to the President were sent in Magyar, which was as.good as a cipher, since no traitor knows that tongne. Gen. Fremont is awaiting the -arrival of the necessary reinforcements before mak ing, his advance. He remains at Wheeling, because, so long as he is here, the enemy canuet judge where the blow will fall, which he meditate.*. But so soon as the means are at hand they will be used. Za gonyi is possessed, I hear, with the idea of takiog a few companies of cavalry, and going in search of the celebrated rebel ranger Ashby. I sincerely hope his wish may be realized. I heard him say, the other day, in his quaint English. ""If I will find him, Sir, I will ride him through five times, Sir, and back again. If ho is not too big, I would like to take Ashby himself by the coat-collar, and set him be fore me on my horse, aind theu charge again with htm.*'' One hears bran-now cavalry Officers, who never saw a foe. talk about "riding them, through," aud it sounds arrogant; but is there no'difFerence between "I'll do it," and "I'll do it ayam?" By the way, I hear that-more than forty privates of the old Body Guard are now commissioned officers. The guerrillas promise to give us trouble when the leaves come fully out in the woods, which will be in a few days. The forces of the Department are all in the field and actively engaged in suppressing their dangerous and indefinite enemies. ^ Geo. Milroy has certainly a splendid au dacity and energy. lie seems not to know the word retire. At last accounts, jrith an inferior force, be had. driven therenemy qv-. er the Shannandoah Mountain,,and .was holding a post withiu sii miles of them.? Johnson, who comiiiands the rebels there, seems thdrobghly frightened, and is forti fying himself. P. Gen. Jackaon'a Letter to Sir. Peterson Wharton, of tho l'arkersburg Gazelle is humorous over Gen. JaoksonB letter to Sir. Peterson, of this city; and the accidental and uulooked for way in which its pub lication and the comments upon it have made Mr. Peterson the innocent victim of notoriety. He says: Our friend, Win. K. Peterson, Esq., of Wheeling, lins now come up alone an the compeor of Adam, and forming the next exception to the general rule. He was not horn to greatness, for we learn with regret that the people of the colurtry where he was born were all mudsills.? He has not achieved greatnes, for lie has always been a good citizen, pays his debts, has an account in hank, minds his own business, and never was a candidate for office. He is a true and unflinching Union man, and is therefore not entitled to much consideration from the powers that be. Like ourself, lie was a little too old to volunteer as a private, and accord ing to neighbor Davisson, of Clarksburg, Gov. Pierpoint never gives his commis sions to the right men, aud he has there fore had 110 chance for greatness iu the war. Yet he has become great. Like the lady whose maternal cares had in-1 creased while her husband had been three years in California, he has been "writ to." His name is read iu all the hills aud valleys of West Virginia, in nil places where the secesh mast do congre gate. On the mountains, thnt Wise says milk the clouds, where the guerilla camp tires burn, his name is heard; it is put in the same pocket with the guerilla com mission of Governor Letcher athorizing the holder to murder, burn and destroy wherever he listeth?and does not the lettersay that Governor Letcher is the true Governor of Virginia, uudGov. Pierpoint a bogus. The mnn who shoots a sheriff holds the letter close to his heart as the just claim for relief from the rope, llow great and famous then has Mr. Peterson become. Special Telegrams to our exchanges from Washington. Hrig.-Geu. George It. Hurtsuir, Assistant Ailjutuul-Geiieral United Slates Army, has been assigned to special duty in tlie Wttr Department from the Htli inst. Mr. Garrett, President of tlie Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, appeared belore tlie Military Committee or the House on Thurs day, nnd made some statements in opposi tion to the project Tor a new military mil way from Wasbiugtou to New York: A desperate effort is being made by tbe mo nopolists wbo have eujoyed tbe profits of tbe only line of railroad between Washing ton and New York, to suppress all rivalry. . Congress will hnrdly disregard tbo public demand for the breaking up this monopoly. Mr. Wade, of Ohio, introduced in the Senate a bill important to Uuited Slates marshals and their associates. Its pro visions are, that all actions against mar shals and other officers of the Uuited States, founded upon arrests of persons suspected , of beaig engaged in, or aiding tbe rebel lion or securers of their property, trials shall be bad In tbo United States circuit , courts, nnd uot in Suite courts. All such actions now pending may be transferred, I at tbe option of the deleudant from the State courts to tbe Uuited States circuit : courts; all such causes now or hereafter I pending may be postponed from term to i terra, until the rebellion bns been com pletely suppressed, and if, after the pas sage of this act, any private citizeu shall i cause nu officer or servant of the United ? States to be arrested on process lor a civil , suit, (or acts done iu tbe discbarge of liis duty, such private citizen shall be adjudged guilty of a misdemeanor, and punished by tine and imprisonment. Parties aggrieved , by nets of the United States officers may petition lor their remedy to Congress. The Wheeling tiovcruiutiil and tbe People of lbs Kanawlu V?llry, (From the Point Pleasant Register.) The Government of Virginia as vindi cated and restored by the loyul people of tlie State, is rapidly gaining strength in tlie hearts and minds of the people.? When eastern traitors attempted to dis rupt the Union and transfer our state Government to a bastard confederacy, the western patriots wrested it from their hands and restored it to the people in the Union as it always was?thereby pre serving to us our right and liberties? under the laws of the land. Under it, we lmve Courts and officers elected by the people to render justice and execute the laws. And it is a harbinger of better days to see such men as John Laidley G. Sum mers of Kanawha, and Jas. W. Huge of Putnam,not only taking part, but as coun sel and attorneys taking the oath to up hold and defend the reorgauised Govern ment. The Circuit Court sat in Wayne on the. 20th of-March; in Cabell on the 27th of March, in Putnam on the 8th of April, and we are informed that upwards of a hundred iudictments were found at the first, nearly as many at the second, nnd more than half as many at the third.? The grand juries are thus showing to the out?laws?the fallacy of the Secessionists ?that "there is no law in the country" and_ rebels who -ob houses, steal horses, aud kidnap quiet citizens because they love tbe Union, will learn by experience, that the Government of Virginia, restor ed as it was in the Uuion is no humbug. From the Second Virginia Regiment at Monterey. Hkadqcartrrr 2d Va. Infantry, 1 Monterey, Va., April 20. / Editor* Intelligencer : Permit me through tbe medium of your paper to acknowledge the receipt of two large boxes of hospital donations from tbe "Ladies' Aid Society" of Wheeling, Va.; also more recently a bounteous supply of canned fruit, jellies, hc., furnished by tbe ladies of Bellairo, Ohio. Our thanks are warmly proffered to the kind benefactors ot these donations, and are most gratefully acknowledged by those whom disease and accident have stricken down. They fally appreciate the motives or benevolence which have prompted these important con siderations.for their comfort. Respectfully, R. Vf. Hazlett. Surgeon 2d Va. Infantry. [From the Faint Plemnt Kegtiter.] Speech at Itou.Samuel Crane. . According to the announcement in our last issue, Hon. Samuel Crane addressed the people of onr county, on Friday last, the 18th inst?that being tbe first day of the Circuit Court. Tbe speech was most admirable?in fact, just tbe thing for the occasion. Of Uie number composing his audience?which was quite Urge?we no ticed a number wbo had heretofore been ardent, if not active sympathizer* with those in rebellion, and if they were not blinded by prejudice or deaf to reason they cannot be otherwise than convinced of their error,. We would like to allude to some of tbe points ot Mr. Crane's argument, which struck its as being peculiarly forcible, but the want of time will not permit. Saffieo to ?aj that this clear and concise exposi tion of the object^ of {he reorganized and restored State Government, is just what the gieopie throughout the whole common* wealth ought to hear, and we think Mr. Crane could not do the cause better sec rice, than by speaking At the varieus im portant accessible points for the oezt sev eral mouth His speech to our people pn last Friday, gave universal sntisfaction,and his fine social qualities and gentlemanly bearing won so much upon the esteem of citizens, that all who were fortunate enough to make his acquaintance, already regard him as au old, friend. We love a whole souled,. larg?-liearted, staunch, un compromising Uniou raau, such as be is, and we hope before many months'that we will again have the pleasure of welcoming him aguin to our county* Mouey Matter# In the Bait* . The supply of money continues ample, with an increasing tendency; loans on call at "p? cent, and prime short business paper iu demaud.
