The slavery Question In Congress.

Tho Washington correspondent Of the Boston
JRAvRIIER says that an excellent spirit seoms
TO pervado the minds of members, though 1t is
very apparent that there ia wide and honest
difference Of opinion as to the course to bo pur-
sued with the inevitable African.
Many who have hitherto been highly con-
scryatiye, are disposed to urge the Administra-
tion to adopt most radical measures forthwith,
as the cheap, decisive, AMI only way of ending
the war. A leading democrat said yesterday,
Il have defended and justihel ,layery till 1t has
grown big and strong enough TO ruin the land,
AMI now follow John Cochrues doctrine as the
safe and sure thing; moreover, 1t is the only
rem edy for these pressing evils. II is iole to
talk about the cruelty Of aiming slaycs; i Is no
more cruel to arm them to put down a rebellion
than it is 20 arm white men, aud we are fools
not to use all the means which God and nature
have put in our power This sort OF talk ls.yery
common here and it comes, to my astonishnent,
| from men Who, three mouths ago, were as
jeslous of Mr.. Lincoln as any southern man
could be- 1t Is plain that the question will he

The increase in the grain trade of Chicago,

Although we are just at the end Of the 1ith

Gncludng flour, reduced TO wheaO amount to
81 .u93,2l9 bushels. In 1860 the receipts
amounted to %, ,5Oi, - bushels, and they were
thought to bo enormous, as they exceeded those
Of apy previous year Of our history by thirteen
millions Of bushels. But during The past elev-
