Fremont Removal Sparks Democratic Debate in West
From a Dubuque Times editorial reprinted here, the piece argues President Lincoln plans to remove General Fremont, a move the writer says would demoralize the Army of the West and aid Confederate enemies. It critiques Frank P. Blair and others, questions Fremont’s rivals, and notes broader civil war policy shifts including emancipation and use of fugitive workers.

Fremonts Western Crest Rise Amid Missouri Movements
A wartime dispatch dated Oct 17 1861 from General Fremont's staff in the West details rapid marching from Tipton toward Wheatland Minerva Inez and Warsaw, with reports that Price is 30 to 50 miles ahead and awaiting battle. The army praises Fremonts leadership and notes rapid advances, pontoon bridge construction at Paducah, and continued pursuit toward Stockton and Warsaw. An Indianapolis Sentinel extract cites Price near 45 miles away and Fremont numbering about 35 000 with 08 artillery and 2 000 cavalry, predicting a fight within two weeks.
