A delegation from the Religious Society
of Progressive Friends called ON the Pres
idenr to day. and presented him with a
memorial adopted at q large meeting held
in Philadelphia. Ii asks the President to
issue general proclamation freeing all the
slaves of rebels The delegation stated
that their clients were four millions of
slaves, who cannot speak. but they lift up
their hands and implore the exercise of the
Presidents power IN this solemn crisis to
give them freedom.
The memorial. contained an extract from
Lincoln's Springfield speech, in which he
said the government could not endure per-
manently half slave and halt free that it
would become all of one thing or the oth~
er.
The President. in his reply, said he bad
not been furnished with copy of the me-
mortal in advance, and could not be ex-
pected to make lengthy remarks. Next to
the ot1ee-seekers, :he most troublesome
| question he encountered was slavery, which
be agreed, was wrong, but differed from
the memoralists as to the manner of getting
rid of it. The extract from his Springfield
speech quoted, he said, was incomplete,
and did not include the sentence in which
he had indicated his views as to the effect
upon slavery itself of resistance to its ex-
tension. He said, if decree Of emanci-
patton would do the work, John Brown
would have done it at Harper's Ferry -
The constitution is binding upon the people
OF the South, but yet it could not be en-
forced &C present. DO you," said the
President, think decree of emancipa-
ton would be any more effective" lie
added that he should place O firm trust in
Divine aid, aud endeavor to do his duty.

merchant vessels for the use Of the Navy, the
agency Of Mr.. George ID. Morgan therein and
the compensation realized therefor by the
latter. with Mr.. Morgan's own view Of the
matter imbeded therein, has been spread be-
fore the public. The statement of the case on
tbe part of Messrs Welles and Morgan is full
and frank, and seems TO leave no fact wanting
TO q clear understanding Of the case. Its
prominent features are rs follows

Connecticut but for some years a resident and
merchant OF this City, where he has made a
handsome fortune.

the actual seller and the Government, took

bought or affected to buy of him for the Gov
eminent, paying the actual seller SO, 500 for
the two vessels and selling them TO the
Government as from the sham owner Tor

for at this critical moment, when it must have
seemed to him that no earthly power could
rescue him from the man before whom 10 had
fed SO many days, that man was removed
from the command of the opposing force.
But where was Hunter! We do not meaa
to do any injustice to that General; but hi,

laid before il letter from President Lincoln,
commanding q retreat. His Brigadiers replied,
that the President, not, Of course, understanding
the present posture of the opposing forces, could
not expect obedience to such an order, aud the
Commanding General should be governed by

each other; Price, with dispirited army. cut

the last triumphant day of his hundred days.
but Hunter had only to 90 in and gather
laurels. So the council broke up, and looked
for the coming battle of the next day. The
next day came, but no battle; Gen. Hunter
thought it necessary to obey the orders OF the
President, and the army turned its face toward
St. Louis, leaving not only the road to For
syth open to Kentucky rebels, but leaving them
also to begin, when strong enough, new cam

Once more Price had fallen back TO Springfield,

HOW PRICE ESCAPED.

Events follow events so rapidly IN these
DAYS Of .eyerish excitement, that which IS
passing quickly celebrating the memory of that
which La. passed that It may be already an
effort TO some persons 10 recall the anxiety
With which, two months ago, we watched the
course Of proceedings in Missouri. The prog
re,s OF Fremont westward; the retreat OF
Price from Lexington toward Springfield; the
splendid dash Of Zagony upon that place, and
the SeadIong flight OF the rebels before the
flash of the sabers OF that handful of fierce
aud fearless men; the movements OF the
impatient Sige whose reputation in European
war wa, that, though never out OF sight he
could never be caught. aud who in that brief
but brilliant campaign in Missouri, moved
troops without transportation. made beasts OF
burden of everything on legs that was not tit
for some other purpose, fed marching army
on what it could pick up as 1t marched, and
whom no river, however broad or wide, or
Deep could stop; then the certainty that Price,
at last, was oyertaken; the hope that at one
single blow the instruction in that State
would be crushed, Lyon avenged, the fall OF
Lexington atoned for; then rumorS OF the
removal of the Commanding General when on
tue eve of battle; the assumption OF command
by the new General; aud finally more strange
than ull, the report that no enemy was to be
found, aud that Price was many miles away
how, two months ago, all those things stirred
the public mind and heart, aud Fremont'f
name was on all lips, on many with pride and
affection, on some, at least, with doubt and
blame; and how now all memory OF incidents
that then so stirred the popular mind is put
away, superseded by the newer event, dis
placed by the fresher interest.
