for diplomatic conference some only will accept; or

Should some only accept the initiation the Congress

THE MISSOURI IMBRoGL1o
The Presidents Reply TO the Mis-
souri, Delegation.

sr. LouIs, October 28.--President Lincoln'a
reply to the Missouri delegation, and his letter
Of instructions to General Schofsld, appear In
the Democrat Of this morning. The main points
Of the Presidents reply are;
He fails to see that the condition of Missouri
and the wrongs and sufferings of the Union
men, are attributable To weakness, wickedness,
and immortality, but rather to civil war, OF
which he gives vivid picture, referring to
the condition Of the State under Fremont
Hunter, Ilalleck, and Curtis, to sustain hi.
position.
He docs not believe the massacre at Lawrence
proves imbeciity on the part of General scho.
field, as similar acts could have been commit.
ted by John Morgan had he so chosen.
He approves schoaeld's action In preventing
counter raid int Missouri, by citizens ol
Kansas, as the only safe way to avoid indis
criminate massacre, and says the charges that
General schoiield hns purposely withheld pro
lection from loyal people, and proposed tt
facilitate the objects Of the disloyal, are alto
gether beyond belief.

The condition Of the residents OF Fauqucr

It is estimated that 500 men will cover al

In relation to the damage to the railroad, the
correspondent Of the New York Times writes:
Gen. Merritt reports that the enemy have SC

FRAUDS IN THE CoSvALEsCENr CAMP.-Atro.
cious frauds have recently been exposed by
which the occupants of the convalescent camp
and Government teamsters in different camps
have been made to suffer, and Government It.
self has been grossly swindled. Al the con-
valescent camp, the breakfast rations, as is
sued, were four ounces of bread and one ounce
of meat; dinner rations, four ounces Of bread
and half pint OF rice soup; supper rations,
same as at breakfast. Only two ratiOns ol
potatoes were served In ten days. 1t Ia
further stated that the coffee, aflsr hav.
ing hot water poured over il, was taken out,
dried on canvas, barroled, and sold at $l2 or
S14 per barrel in Alexandria, when It was
probably resold to the Government. The team
sters have been supplied with putrid meat and
short ratiops, the good meat being sold by
those in charge of the camps. II is reported
that officers holding high positions are impl.
Gated in these frauds, aud that the investiga-
ton now going on should result in bringing
the offenders to Justice Washington Cor. ".

who bought largely early In tho soason sre In

and nothing accumulates. The demand for
prints is more than equal to the supply, and
prices continue TO tend upwards. Both brown
and bleached shirting and sheetings have ad-
vanced. Drills are scarce. Stripes, ticks, and
denims are all steady Woolens Of all desirable
styles are very active and buoyaAt. Printed
delaines are still selling in advance OF supply.
The novelties of the season are eagerly sought
for. The demand for fancy cassinieres has
been large, but somewhat Irregular. There
are sales making Of spring goods, for Califor-
MIA, and clothiers are buying light goods. Sat
inets are active, especially mixtures. Doeskins
are active, and blacks have advanced In price.
Broadcloths, and all heavy woolens suitable
for the winter season, are In great demand, and
oil tend upwards In price. Oloslnngs are
much wanted--scarlets, purples and blues have
all advanced. shawls are in scanty' supply,
and sell In advance of arrival very freely.
The foreign goods market is firm for all dc.
scriptlons; the supply is very short, and prices
have steadily advanced almost day by day.
The auctions have had a thronged attendance,
and the competition was very active. Holders
OF staple goods do not press sales, foreseelng
a further advance. Ribbons seem the only ar.
tlcle at all weak, but the desirable styles are
firm. The fluctuations In the price of gold
have sadly puzzled both buyers and sellers
both being somewhat at loss how to act--
