On such persistent representations the order at Washington was at last given for his removal and the appointment of Gen. Hunter in his place. Fremont had obtained intimation that such an order was on the way from Washington. He took singular pains to prevent it from reaching him. He had two body-guards, one of whites and one of Indians. He gave strict orders that no one should be admitted through the inner lines surrounding his headquarters, except by his direct orders.

He issued an extravagant address to his soldiers, and designated the enemy opposed to them as a combination of Pin Indians, free negroes, Southern tories, Kansas Jayhawkers, and hired Dutch cut-throats. He declared that unless this ruthless force was defeated, the country would be ru, the 11th Missouri infantry were pushed forward as far as the cavalry had advanced, to deploy as if to invite attack. It only succeeded in developing a party of Indians, who declined attacking. In the evening, Hindman's whole force was moved up to the ground occupied by the 11th Missouri infantry, and a regiment of cavalry was oe of impressing it for the Confederate service. To a great part of the country within the limits of his command Hindman extended no protection whatever. Hostile Indians began collecting on the border, and Federal emissaries were busy among the Cherokees and Creeks, inciting disaffection. Detachments of Federal cavalry penetrate
