WAsHINGTON, Sept. ~.
The Germans Of st. Louis sustain Gen. Fremont
their brethren in Illinois and Indiana also sustain
him with the intelligent majority Of the American
Republ cans They say that there is an ineompa-
liability between fire and water between

tcct those against whom tho war il
waged. They regret the Presidents modification
Of the Generals proclamation Of freedom to slaves,
but cengra tulate the friends of civil liberty thro
out the world, that the bondmen Of all Missouri
ans in arms against the Union, between the dates
of Gen. Fremonts proclamation and the Presi-
deLt's counterhanding of it, are free, beyond the
power of any law OF politics on this continent to
reduce them again to slavery.

ton has hal a most disastcrous .iIect,upon q
large majority OF our citizens, and the lame
the blind and the halt have increased to a
most alarming degree. Men tut lately in ro.
bust health have suddenly awoke to sense OF
their utter incapacity for service, owing to the
breaking out OF diseases which for wears have
laid dormant, and which they had fondly
hoped were driven from their systems. These
plaques of the human family appear to rage
most violently in the ranks Of the Republican
party, and men who but day or two since
were loud for war now look dubonsly The
tratorous rascals had better have a care or
they may fetch up in western Fort Lafayette.

few weeks Iowa will be able to rid herself Of
the stigma OF want Of patriotism on the part

Al Washington, has addressed an istsrnsl diplo'
maiic letter 70 these Southern Commissioners,
in which be DISCUSSES the propriety Of the Be-
cession movement, and urges the expediency Of
submitting the matters in controversy TO the
decision of a National Convention. This Is a
further acknowledgment Of the plenary powers
vested In the Commissioners by the President
and Cabinet at Montgomery, TO enter into and
conclude negotiations with the President and
Cabinet at Washington.
Thus, the American people have presented
before their eyes the spectacle of two separate
and Independent Governments, recognizing each
others existence, and negotiating with each
other in what was, and Of right still Is, the
United States Of America. But this is only the
beginning Of the end. . The end will be, II the
present policy Of the Administration Is carried
out, the full and final acknowledgment OF th'
independence of the Southern Confederacy' 70
