We find in the Washington f nton llic first instalment of the report on Fremont's financial operations in California, which wt|s called for by lite Senate. The Ilopnblicsm press might well wineo in ad vaneo at those astounding developments. We have not space to day for any comment, and we givo a general outline of tlio facts stated, so far as we have received them. We premise l?y saying that the documents show that the Hoard of Claims only allowed ?1 10,000 <>f the elnims set up by Fremont, or one seventh of the whiih* mnmiiit h.nviiir* con.. I..... I J s "v,,,v """ dred thousand dollars still unpaid, mid w)iich \\ i!i never bo paid, until Fremont is elected 1'rcsiiicnt. Look at some of the items ; The first item is a claim for *24,7oO, for cattle said to have been taken for t)|e use of the { idle J Slates. l'lemont certifies on honor that tho claim is correct. It appears from the ileitis of the hill that government was asked to pay for cattle to an extent which would furnish each man in Fremont's detachment with an ox rnrfi Uo>/.' and Fremont certifies "on his honor " that the bill is a correct one, and the supplies were used l y his men ! The Foard of Claims showed what they thought of it hy striking oil' $10,000 from ' tjjt* bill by a? unanimous vote. Next we have it bill for $fl2,Q'2o foi s this same \ ullejo?horses at $100, saddles at $50, spurs at ?3, and so on. To * tins Fremont also certifies " upon honor.'* ! Fy an unanimous vole the Foard struck ) off fitly thousand dollais from this bill. j Next we have a bill from Yallcjo foi $53,100, for horses at 51.10 each, saddles at $100 each, one rifle at $200, pistols at 5100 each, and oilier charges in the I same proportion. All these bills are for r mnlly made out as supplies furnished to ti Fremont, and Fremont entities on l?is tl honor thai the lulls are correct, and the goods charged at fair prices. The Foard ? again hy an uiinniiin ns vote struck i t! in forty one thousand dollars from this lull, n We have then another hill from Yallcjo 111 for $14,010, for mules, cows, ike. The " j>oaru struck oil ?u,?7."j from tin*. ] This \ allejo seems lo have been apret- u ty big operator in government supplies, tu and somebody must have expoou-d to " have made a large liatil out of! tide Sam. I " As Fremont did everything in his | own w to push the hills through, going lo the jl( length of certifying them " upon his honor," some pretty ugly inferences are I irresistible, ^ Hut perhaps the most extraordinary of T all is the next claim. Win. 1>. ]'helps V brings in a hill often thousand dollars lor b ferrying Fremont and a detachment of men across the hay! Fremont certifies that |j the bill is coi reet. Major (Jillespie, of the n< Marine Corps, testifies that the ferriage li was only seven miles, that 1:0 risk was is run, that the only object in crossing was di to spike some guns in a dismantled fort, which was entirely unoccupied at the time. Jiy an unnnimous vote the Hoard declared w that fifty dollars was an ample remuuera- ? tjon! and so allowed. And yet there is |>( added to the claim tho deliberate certifi- ai call! of Col. Fremont that the bill for $10,- w 000 was right and just. The documents following these are sub- I] stantiully the same we have given as to money borrowed by Fremont, the claim for which was allowed to the parties, as j] the money was undoubted1)' bad of them, ir but the Hoard recommend id (hat the same he charged to Fremont himself! ? The documents from which we obtain jj these facts are oflicial transcripts from the records of tlu Department, and are fur-j j, nhdicd by the Auditor of the Trenturv.? !r is impossible to lie them down.

Since the formation of the American Republic, eighty-odd years ago, imiuy has been the storms through which the old ship of Slulu ha? successfully passed, nnd has caluily and proudly uioUUai/jcd her supremacy nrtdd the angry and surging billow* around her. In 183- her strength was te?tod--shc outlived the storm?in 1852 it broke upon her with redoubled fury, and a'though she i shook and tottered from stem to stern, and ! her pilot trembled with doubtful lbrcbod! ings, still she was proof against the surging | elements borne against her, and was enabled j to settle in comparative <piict, when these j w ere exhausted. In ISbti the political horizon is again lowering, at d in our humble opinion the strength of tl e Republic is about to be tested in a manner, compared to which, all other attacks dw indle into ins'.gI nilieanee. Sectionalism is raging in its worst forms; a party, large in number and formidable in political power, with di-solu tion or abolitionism inscribed upon their banner, arc clamorous for licr destruction ; civil war exists upon Iter western frontier, and all the horrors incident to such unnatural strife, are being daily brought to our notice. Stiil we are plodding along, as if nothing important were transpiring?as if our country were enjoying the most profound pence and harmony ! The result of the issue in Kansas, no one can foresee, and whether it terminates in favor or against the South, it threatens alike destruction to the Union. If against her, unless she is beaten in a f..ir ai d honorable contest at the ballot box, under no consideration?not even for the sake of the Union itself, should ?-!ie sul mit to the ignominious defeat. The most blunted sense of honor would be aroused, and all the disadvantages she must undergo from:.!) aggressive movement, should hot deter lici fioin action. < >u the ullu r hand, should the stiile going on j terminate in favor of I ho hs??nlli, the abolition horde, already r? ekless and exasperated, i would increase their clamors lor disunion, and nothing short of utiolilionisui or disso- 1 imp n. is likely lo satisfy tin* lu'ii/.u ii monomania, of vv hicli I licy ;iiv Octi.ii111 v p :>sessi d. last, however i? the lesser c\ il, :?rul I lit' the acquisition ol' Kansas to the South is t?> our section at least, a matter of the most j vital consequence.

A tpiestion which should cngngo the I minds ol every patriot, is. w hat is the duty , d? the South, at this lime, in regard to Kansas ?
