Conference Between Mr. Lincoln and the
Border State Congressman on the
Emancipation Question.

New YORK, July ia special to the
ISsses' dated Washington, 18th. instant
says: "The Border State Representatives
are holding caucus tonight, to consider
and frame reply to the President. First
that the Border States have come up to the
full demands of the government made on
them, and have raised fully $4,000 men,
and will raise their quota under the new
call. As regards the Presidents emanci-
patton offer they say it is not practicable or
specific. 1t proposes change which can
only be enforced through State conventions.
Kentucky's present constitution requires
four years to call convention and have il:
meet. After getting States consent there
would be no act of Congress to consummate
ard the question would still be an open one
whether the government could appropriate
the millions needed to carry out the scheme.
Specific legislation should precede State
preparations. 70 obviate delays of organ.
lied State action, the border representatives
think the offer should be made and directly
to individual citizens of the Slave States,
and then the question will be at once solved.
Congress would at once show its wiling
ness to appropriate the money and the peo-
pie of the States show their readiness to aid
the Union, even at the sacrifice of radical
change in their social organization. In
conclusion we assure the President that our
constituents revere the constitution and
Union dearly as ever; that they admire his
heroic efforts so far to preserve both and on
that platform will not be surpassed by any
portion of the Union in furnishing men and
money for the work."

Direct from HarrisOn's Landing.

From the Pittsburgh Chroacle, July 10.
We have had an interesting interview
this morning with Rev. James Allison of
Siwhickley, who left lately for the seat of
war in company with the physicians sent
out by our Sanitary Committees. He left
Fortress Monroe only last Monday evening
and has been up to Harrison's Landing
twice. He reports that the physicians sent
from this city, as we'll as those dispatched
by Washington county, arrived just in the
nick of time and when their services were
most needed. They have been most con.
stantly at work and have been able to rem.
der invaluable services. 4 T.
Mr.. Allison says it is wonderful what en-
thusiasm for, and confidence in General
Mcclellan is everywhere prevalent. ALL
sick and we'll, officers and privates-unite in
according to him military ability of the
highest order, and in ascribing to him the
salvation OF our whole army from position
of great danger, unhealthiness and manifold
Disadvantages. Even those who visit the
army violently prejudiced in their minds
against him, come away with the conviction
that it he cannot command our greatest ar
mics, no one else can, and that be has done
everything which was possible for man to
do, in extricating the Army of the Potomac
from the perils and disasters which threaten
ed to annihilate it.. Now, if this be the uni.
versal opinion of the army-and that it is so
is attested by every visitor and correspond
ent-what need Mcclellan care for the Der
Wish winnings and malevolent ISLANDERS of
those who wish to make him the servile tool
of their peculiar philosophy aud impracti,.
cable schemes. Mcclellan is to be Judged
by those who are with him, and who con.
stantly see him, hear him, know him, and
suffer with him. His officers and men, who
are most affected by bis orders and move.
ments, and who must share his victories or
defects, know whether he is skilful and ca
pable, far better than the nincompoops and
politicians who whine and howl away at
him from distance. AS long as McClel-
lan's army universally esteem him the man,
and the only man for the emergency, that is
the best possible proof that he is the man,
and that, besides him, we have no other.
He has been tried and weighed by his peers,
and their verdict is unanimously in bis favor.
Let bis detractors, therefore, rail Oh.

The number of Union men killed ir the
seven days. battles has been reduced to l..
300 or less. Our total loss in killed wound.
ed and missing, according to official &C.
counts the President caused to be rendered
while recently with the army, was about
1000. The rebels claim to have 1900
prisoners, including wounded, and 5000 of
our wounded have already been sent North
on steamers. The hourly return of stray.
glers continues to lessen this estimate of the
killed.
