EfgThe letter Of Charles Sumner nd :
dressed to the Boston Journal published
in our last, has emboidened and revived
Abolitionism, they believing that the
President is with them. A committee
of this class of incarnate devils, made q
call upon the President few days ago in
reference to emancipation. The Herald
snys;
This committee was from an abolition
society of hroadbrims, long faces and shad
bellied coats, known as Progressive Friends
and il was mixed committee of old wo'
men fanatics in breeches and would-bo
men in pctticoats, including Thomas Gar
,rett, OF Delaware Oliver Johnston, Of
New York Alice liambleton, Dinah
Mendenhall, William Barnard and Eliza
Agnew and they were presented by Sen
ator Wilmot, of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Oliver Johnston read their memoS
rial to the President, which was in sub.
stance an appeal for decree declaring
slavery abolished throughout the United
States. The President was glad that his
Progressive Friends were not Office SEEK
ers; for these gentry had given him q
world of trouble. and next in the order OF
very,
But what good would decree of eman.
cipaton do in our revolted States, when
we cannot even enforce the constitution
/ there at preae& If decree of emanci-
patton would do the work, John Brown
would have done it at Harper's Ferry
/ Master Oliver Johnston, however, return
ed to the charge, insisting upon decree
of emancipation as the one thing needful
| to end this war, urging that God desired
an end to slavery, &C., when, in his quiet
but decisive way, Mr.. Lincoln gave his
Progressive Friend "a Roland for his Oil
YER" in the palpable hit that perhaps
Gods way OF accomplishing the end which
the memorialists have in view was differ,
ent from theirs" At any rate, The Pres
ident assured them that he should endea'
vor 10 his duty and so, wiser than they
came, these Progressive Friends went their
way.

Vile, hos moved to Selinsgroye Snyder
county.
Mr.. Zigler, is q very clever and sociable
ciiizen,in the broadest sense Of the term,

he is o sound national Democrat. lie had
accumulated large practice in Jefferson

We have one there in the person of g. W.

m0nd has been removing from the city, south
ward for the last ten days. The sources through
which some Of these reports came are entitled
to full credenee.
IL is added, that among the causea of the
evacuation OF Richmond are the exhaustion of
the country north Of the James river, the IN
fectious and pestlentisl atmosphere, and the
superior advantages of the James as line of
defense. II is also stated they intend to main
tain an open railroad connection with the valley
