ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN Missouri

ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN MIssoURI.-A
correspondent of the Peoples Organ strong
ly urges the gradual abolition of slavery In
Missouri, for the reasons that it will grow
with vastly more rapidly in wealth and
and population, ,oith0,a slavery than auth
it," and that, if slavery were removed, It
nigh, at no distant day become the seat Of
the General Government, which it never
could should slavery continue to exist
The wliter remarks 1t is, we think,
true that slavery here, although it should DO
left to itself, will expire from the operation
Of natural causes, within a comparatively
short period of time yet, though this is the
belief Of many, there is very large body
Of our citizens who wish to turn that belief

We have the following from a conhden-
tial correspondent in Dublin. 1t is almost
too favorable to the People TO be believed,
and vet the blind and inconsistent reports
of the British press seem to give plausible
ity to our correspondents statements. The
number Of British troops said 10 be killed
seems exaggerated. The letter was written
in cypher to eyade the vigilance Of the
British Post Office, which would otherwise
have detained it, but we make the number
six thousand. The writer would not know
ingly deceive the public. His brother is a
resident Of this City. Without farther
comment we subjoin the letter:
DUBLIN, Aug 3, lsis
No newspaper here dare tell the truth concern
ing the Battle of Slievenamon, but from all We can
learn the People have had great Victory. Gen.
Macdonald, the commander OF the British forces, is
killed. and six thousand troops are killed and
wounded. The road for three miles is covered
with the dead We have also the inspiring intel
Iigcnce that Kilkenny and Limerick have been
taken by The people. The people Of Dublin hare
gone in thousands TO assist IN the Country. Mr..
JoBN B. DrLLoS was wounded in both legs. Mr..
Meaeher was also wounded in both arms. II Is
generally expected that DubiiH 'oW rise and attack
the Jails on Sunday night, dug. o.
All the people coming in on the Railroad are
cautioned and commanded not to tell the news.
When the cars arrive thousands OF the Dublin
people are waiting for the intelligence. The Po-
lice drive away those who are seen asking ques-
tons. Why ali this care Of the Government to
prevent the spread Of intelligence, unless 1t be that
something has happened which they want kept as
a secret If they had obtained victory they
would be very apt to let US know it.
We are informed that the Sd Bluffs "a regiment
OF Infantry turned and fought ruth the people
The 3Ist Regiment, at Athlone, have also declared
for the people and two regiments have been sent
to disarm them.
The mountain of Sievenamon is almost mac
cessibe. There is but one approach to it. 1t is
said to be well supplied with provisions IL was a
glorious place for our noble Smith O'Brien to Sc

him, with a considerable supply Of arms, ammuni-
ton and cannon. In 90 the rebels could not be
taken from Slievenamon until they chose to come
out themselves
4 lady who came 70 town yesterday and who
had passed the scene of battle, said that TOR three
