Missouri Reclaimed.

A correspondent OF tie New York
World, writing from St. Louis on the 23d
instant, says that Missouri is fairly re.
claimed to the Union, and is under the pro
lection Of her own loyal children. We
quote the following in regard to her expert
ence of the war:
Missouri has suffered by the war. She
energies from the strife, MANNED, maDgled,
shcrn of her strength and possessions, but
still with the elements and possibilities of
wealth clinging to her. She lost third of
her productive population by exodus and
enlistment-she has lost full half of the val~
lie and one third the number of her slaves.
She will be the gamer by the loss. This
year and next year her crops will be short,
but still enough for home consumption.
The stay.at home farmers are putting in
corn and grain; the tobacco and hemp are
short of last years average. Things are
settling in new channels. Amid such un.
settlement there is general acquiescence
10 the dominion of the Union troops, and
but few and slight Interruptions may be
expected.

ToOmbs and HIS Cotton

The committee in Southwestern Georgia,
feeling highly indignant that ex-senator
Toombs should keep all his slaves at work
on his plantation, refusing to let them be
employed On the public works, and because
he had planted a much larger crop of cotton
than usual, met and passed resolutions de,
nouncing his conduct. The only notice Mr..
Toombs took of the proceedings was the
following dispatch, which appears to be in
answer to demand from the committee
for the hands to work on the deienses of the
river:
RICHMOND, June IL, 1s62.-To Messrs.
George Hill A. 7. Newson and William
Carter, ommittee-Gents-Yo our telegram
has been received l refuse single hand.
My property, SO long as live, shall never

intimidate rae. ROBERT TooMBs.

ONE objection to the confscation and
emancipation Of negroes was stated by Post.
master-General Blair in a letter to an abo.
litior meeting in New York, in March last.
He said
The difficult question with which we have to
deal. then, is the question OF race, and do not
think it is disposed of, or that our difficulties
will be lessened by emancipation by Congress,
even if such an act was constitutional. 1t
would certainly add to the evaporation of the
non-slaveholding whites of the South, and
might unite them against the government, and
if SO they would be unconquerable.
This is the argument of member of
President Lincoln's Cabinet. There can be
no doubt that the success of the abolition-
lists in Congress, in carrying through their
corfscation and emancipation schemes,
would enlarge the proportions of tnis war
to years OF blood and destruction, If it did
not inaugurate war OF determination. The
only chance TO save the country from such
horrors seems to be the persevering efforts
OF the conservative members of Congress.
