ABOLISHED.

One Of the most hopeful events Of the
times is the construction and passage by
Congress of law sbolishing slavery in
the District of Columbia. That the cap
ital Of great nation that pretends to be
free should remain the length Of time it did
under the degrading and blighting infu-
ence of the system, is shame; but il
seems that it remained for President Lin
coin to "initiate emancipation" by approx.
ing bill wiping out the disgrace in our
national capital. The following is the
proclamation of the President endorsing
the law:
Felloao Citizens of the Senate and House
Of Representation An act, entitled " An
act for the release Of certain persons held
to service or labor in the District of Co.
lumbia, has this day been approved and
signed.
Inave never doubted the constitutional
authority of Congress to abolish slavery
in the District, and have desired to see
the national capital freed from the insti-
tuition in some satisfactory way, hence there
has never been in my mind any question
on the subject, except one of expediency
arising in view of all the circumst. nces
If there be matters within and about
this act which might have taken the course
or shape more satisfactorily to my iudg-
ment, I do not attempt to specify.
lam gratifed that the true principles OF
compensation and colinization are both
recognized and practically applied in this
act. Inthe matter of compensation, it has
provided that claims may be presented
within ninety days Of the passage of the
act, but not thereafter, and there is saving
for minors, femmes covert. insane, or alb.
sent persons.
presume there is an omission by mere
oversight, and I recommend that it be sup
piled by an amendatory or supplementary
act. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Every Republican member of either
House, who was present when the vo.e was
taken on abolishing slavery forthwith and
absolutely in the District of Columbia, vo-

The affirmative vote was more than two
thirds in either branch: Senate-yeas 20

1t is said that the voices of animals have

All the canide bark and howl; and asses

to which of these the omiable editor of the

think he belongs to both, for he dilates his

ho,ols out the following in regard to us:
"There is dirty. bleared piece of pa

smeared out at a ferry out somewhere west
by fellow who used TO live somewhere in
the vicinity of Sumner. If we could see
anything sensible in it," referring to a
little piece Of gratuitous advice that we
gave him week or two since, and which
he saw fit to publish, and We hope profit
ed thereby 1--WE might pass it by as an ef-
fusion from the distempered noddle Of one
of the common negro thieves of the coun-
try, but as their is neither wit nor sense in
it, we just remark, that we have known
the toe of our boot to find location in the
seat of better breeches than we think he
wears"

acquaintance in the country-he asserted
that he was far better known thana neigh

RECEPTION M MARYSvILLE.

The citizens were agog yesterday, and
the town made unusually lively by the arri-
val from Fort Leavenworth of part of
Brig. General Craig's command consist
ing of one battalion of the Sixth Ohio
cavalry, commanded by Lieut.. Colonel VIM.
o. Collins and Major O'Farrell, and a
battery of the Ninth Wisconsin artillery
Col. Leavenworth; in all, comprising 500
men strong, destined to Fl. Laramie and
other poinls on the Road to protect the
travel and property from Indian or other
depredators. u
zls The good appearance Of the officers and
= men, the solid tramp of their fine horses,
: as they fled through Broadway, the six
brazen -pounders-one trophy of
Fl. Denelson, bearing still the mark of reb-
el blood and &C. S. A."-the line of bag
gage wagons filing up the. rear, and the
ci,izens' Aag-the flag that still waves
throwing its ample folds from the staf's
tip;top over the moving mass, presented a
fine and unusual scene to the streets of
our city. Passing on and reaching the
Blue, crossing vas effected when they
pitched tents tor the night.
After their arrival it was agreed upon
by our citizens to give reception ball IN
honor to the command; and though upon
SO short a notice, arrangements were per-
fected, and at an early hour of the even
ing, "gay and festive" crowd, the off,
GERS, soldiers, and citizens assembled at
the American" to participate in the pleas
= urcs of the occasion.
Il The social intercourse through the trip
pings of the light fantastic toe" merrily
proceeded until the meridian hour Of
night" when our host, Hutchinson, an
nouneed the readiness of a we'll prepared
and excellent supper. That over, the
pleasures were enlivened by the vocal pow
ere Of one Of the musicians, son of Ebo,
comic, and a good singer; when the
"golden hours of flying feet again oc-
.cupied the time Till far beyond the 1--WE
small" hours Of night.
The whole affair passed off successfully
and harmoniously. Though perhaps it did
not riva, in excellence or richness of pro-
vision the efforts Of the larger towns, it
will, in the spirit and promptness with
which it was carried out by our citizens,
compare favorably with any other town
in the State. The gentlemanly conduct
throughout, the good feeling and zest
which marked the social intercourse, told
its success, and its appreciation by the
gallant Volunteers. 1t was an honor to
Marysvile and all concerned.

CORRESPONDENCE.

We have received several letters this
week from friends and correspondents in
the army. They are of private charac-
ter mostly, so that we cannot lay them in
de tail before our readers. We hope to
secure the most of them as regular cor
respondents of The Union, when we shall
be able through them to post our readers in
regard to the movements and doings of
the various commands with which they are
acting. 1t is by letters written on the
scene of action that we are best enabled to
arrive at the true condition, the wants, the
experiences of those who are now uphold
ing cn the field our country's cause. We
have an interest in the hopes and fears
which possess every true soldiers breast.
And the consciousness of such an interest
has buoyed up the heart of many brave
fellow, who, without it would struck feeble
and faltering blows. A member of the
Fourth Iowa cavalry, and now acting Or.
derly to Gen. Curtis, writes us under date
of April 90, from which we make an ex-
tract, relating principally to the topogra-
ply of the country occ oupied by the army
of the Southwest:
"The army is now considerably north
of Huntsville, Ark, on the head waters of
White river. We are among the Ozark
mountains and are continually moving,
though it rains necessarily and the roads
are almost impossible. We are not
among towering peaks like those of the
Rocky Mountain, but still the country is
very broken. 1 have travelled along a
ridge just wide enough for team to pass
and on either side of which were narrow
gulches two hundred feet in depth, and
everywhere around we're hills, ravines and
mountain streams, picturesque land
scape indeed it was and rendered more so
by heavy forests Of pine which everywhere
clothed the mountain sides. @

We have passed some Of the old battle
grounds, Wilson's Creek and Dug Springs,
Pea Ridge. At the latter place the
ground is very rough and heavily wooded.
In the thick underbrush that skirtcd the
deep gulches lay the infantry Of both ar
mics, while the artillery poured its iron
hail in every direction. Dead horses and
the graves of the buried, and the trees
torn and shattered by round shot and can
mister, are all that now mark the scene of
conflict"
