A dispatch from ST. Louis published in the
New York Tribune of Saturday, stated that
Gen. Fremont would declare the state of Mis-
souri, under martial law and proclaim the abo-
lition of slavery. This was not an accurate
statement of his purpose. The most correct
report published in one of the Cincinnati pa
pers states that he will make proclamation
that the act of congress in regard to tile con
fiscaton of slaves will be strictly enforced IN
Missouri. How many slaves will be lett III
that state when all those belonging to the reb'
els. or used to aid the war against the govern.
ment, are contiscated, it is not easy to say.
There should be no hesitation TO make such
co nfisration. Slavery deserves no torbear'
ance and there should be no more suicidal
weakness in our dealings with it. Slavery is
the source of our present troubles. 1t trained
the men who have become traitors. 1t has
depraved our politics, poisoned our national
life, and sought to rend and destroy the
country. Therefore, whenever 1t comes IN
the way, in the course of this contest, strike
it and strike hard.
No man can be just and say that the act OF
congress which Fremont means to enforce Is
not both right and necessary. This is not a
war to abolish slavery, but war to save the
constitution and the Union from malignant
treason but the prime cause OF this sad con
fict cannot very well escape unframed. Those
eternal laws that determine the difference be
tween right and wrong operate surely The
right must and will prevail If we do faith
fully the work OF to-day, we may be sure tina
the work of tomorrow and all other coming
days will not be neglected.

Cor. DEvENs' REGMENT.-The editor OF
the Boston Commercial Bulletin, in an article
on the condition of our volunteer troops, and
the uDgrounded complaints which sometimes
come to us from the camp, makes the follow
ing handsome allusion to the 10th Massachu-
sets regiment go through all the regular
troops in Washington, and there will be found
nothing that looks like hardship or ill usage.
Between the officers and men there exists the
hes. of feeling,-as one officer remarked to us,
We are family" Under the strict discip
line which Gen. Mcclellan has instituted, our
volunteers will arrive at the same condition
before their term of service expires. Where
the character of the men has a moral basis
and where the officers are gentlemanly, kind,
and attentive, as in Col. DeYens regiment for
instance, now encamped at Washington, the
Improvement will be mainly in soldierly dis
ciplne. 1t was our pleasure 10 visit that regi.
ment recently at its encampment, and to listen
to religious services, conducted by the chap
lain, Rev. Mr. ScandliD, and no audience ever
was congregated within the four walls of a
church that showed closer attention. We
vent all through the encampment, noticed
the kindness and attention that was paid to
the sick in the hospitals by the surgeon, wit.
messed the promptness and alacriiy with
which the men came to their duty, and we
were satisfied that no letters of complain;
would come home from that regiment"

four DAYS after the battle. What a succession
of eternities those days must have been to
them. Corporal Conant, OF the first Missouri
regiment, was left upon the field for four days,
and is now doing well. Brave fellow, After
he had fallen, though unable to get off his
back, he fired twenty five shots at the enemy.
The wounded are generally getting along

third of them, will be able to leave. Our army

in Virginia a splendid army how many it

AN ENEMYs CANNON SPIKED.-Gerard
Halock, leading editor OF the Journal of Com
merce, has resigned his position and sold his
interest in the establishment to David M.
Stone, commercial editor, and VIM. c. Prime,
the author. 1t is one of the results of the late,
though vigorous efforts of the government 10
suppress the advocacy OF sedition and treason,
and which has fortunately succeeded in ST.
lencing one of the most mischievous OF the
masked batteries which the government has
had to face since the beginning of the war.
The chief promoter of sedition having been
forced by an indignant public opinion to re
tire, it is probable that the policy of the paper
will be changed, and the restraint placed by
the government on its circulation will be
speedily removed.

LETTER FROM A MASSACHUSETTS SHOE
MAKER.-The secretary OF the treasury mas
received letter fl ON one OF the Massachu'

copy -
| am a shoemaker of limited means, but
want to lend government this hundred dollars,
10 assist it little in maintenance OF It's author
ily--its existence.
The reason | send it to you rather than IN
vest it here is, | want TO give Uncle Sam all
the profit; 50 | don't want any interest en- 1t.
All | want is, that you should send me gov
eminent note, promising 10 pay me or bearer
500 on demand, any time after the 18TH OF
August, 1871, without interest. If times are
hard with the government then, will make a
goodly abatement from this. If you are not
empowered to invest the money in this way,
invest it in the next way that will be most
profitable TO the government.
LONG LIFE TO UNCLE SAM
May the blessing OF God make your efforts
to save our beloved country successful.
p. S.-An early return will prevent appre-
hension that this did not reach you. Physical
disability alone prevents my assisting as vol
unteer.

BUSINESS IN WEBsTER.-The Webster
Times states that the mills of Messrs. Slater
& Sons, which suspended operations two weeks
ago, will start again to-day (Monday), when
the town will have six or seven factories in
full operation The mills now running give,
in the aggregate, employment to at least one
thousand persons. The shoe business, though
depressed, is not entirely stagnant and the
merchants, by wise management, do lively
business. These facts speak well for the gen.
eral prosperity Of the town.
