wi the attention which their importance demands.

| II is ascerained from those who had the beet op
portunities for knowing that there was no proposi-
ton made ut the recent conference at Altoona, nor
even suggestion ventured touching the removal of
Gen. Mcclellan, nor was any proposition or sugges-
ton made as TO the promotion of Gen. Fremont 10
tie bead of the army, or to the future disposal Of
that gentleman.
The address to the President, agreed to, was
written by Gov. Andrew, at the suggestion of tue
other Governors present. No counter propositions
or amended address was submitted.
Gov. Bradford of Maryland alone did not sign
he address, expressing fear that the Presidents
proclamation TO emancipae the slaves might no,
prove advantageous AS the Conference hoped,
and regarding the matter 100 doubtful TO justify
! him in taking sides in it's support.
There was no dispute nor improper warmth Of de-
bate whatever. The conversation was Of tie most
polite kind, and conciiatory character and all pre-.
ent animated by cordial spirit Of unity IN
support Of tie Government. the President, and the
prosecution Of the war; the principal aini of the
conference being b. express TO the President their
sentiments and to proer their support 10 him III The
future ss in the past aud to make fhe relations of
all loyal men and States more close, intimate, and
firm.
All, excepting Gov. Bradford Of Maryland, were
heartily convinced Of tho wisdom OF the proclama-
lion to emancpsie the slaves, and were DESTROYS Of
expressing this conviction TO the President.
In the conference various details relating 10 the
recruiting. organization, equipment, aud Transports
ton Of troops were discussed. The Governors freely
compared zee and agreed upon various points in
this connection, which they agreed to submit to the
Pre- sident aud Secretary OF War.
They did not, however, as TO these matters, put
anything in writing, because they dd not wish to
appear dctstoril and believing that friendly verbal
communications, in polite -nd respectful interview
garied correct or beneficial.
TIE care and removal of the sick and wounded, aud
the subject of uroughs to the SOLDIERS, etc., attracted
great deal of attention the object being 10 produce
reforms which all felt TO be needed, 10 secure the
hap iness Of families whose protectors are away,
the welfare of tie soldiers aud the true efficiency of
the army-to carry out which reforms, should the
Government adopt them, the States will cheerfully
cooperate.
IL WAS unanimously agreed that furloughs should
lie NO regulated as TO prevent future abuses.
1t was also agreed to suggest I'm army OF reserve,
after the quota already c'IIed for shall be filled, of
not lees than 100 900 men, to be detailed and dis
