A Sr LorIs paper gives statistics SHOW
ing the probable number of slaves in Mis-.
souri, to be bought by the proposed COM
pcnSated emancipation project. 1t thinks
there are still 100000 in The State, and
the twenty million bill would only give
an average Of 5000 for each of them. 1t
is highly probable that should any such
shcmc Of emancipation be sanctioned, all
the "ljkely" negroes would be sold South
at much higher figure.

The Abolition politicians in Pennsyl-
vania have just elected from office the
Democratic Sheriff of Philadelphia, be-
cause he was elected by the soldiers
vote. They declare the vote to be un-
constitutional !-
At the same time, the same class of
politicians in Iowa, are electing Aboli-
tlonsts to Congress by the army vote
The soldier vote is constitutional when it
helps them, but unconstitutional when
it is against them.

Of about sixty dollars for tue Sanitary COmmis-
sion, aud our fighting preacher had scarcely
got through his introduction, when the Gsse
arrived, vas brou2 the church and handed
10 him by cur patriotic sexton. The preacher
stopped, paused q moment and then shouted
GLORIOUS News" He then read the headings
OF the teiegrsphic news and said "The con
gregatiOn will all rise. Now, three cheers for
the good old Stars and Stripes" They were
given with = will and the walls of Green Street
rang with the shouts of sturdy old stewards and
leaders. "Now sing, all sing Praise God
from whom all blessings fow.'" The cougre-
CATION all joined in the singing. Now" said
the preacher, /" l have too much good sense to
think you would rather hear me preach than
hear the news" So he read all the dispatches,
with the editorial, which was frs rsquently cheered
by the congregation. Then followed some ex-
|cellent remarks by DR.. Wheeloek, cf the First
Baptist Church, and the exercises weIe closed
by bsnediction-the congregation, by q rising
vote, agreeing to meet in the evening to hear
the Thanksgiving sermon, and take another
collection for the Sanitary Commission"
