The failure Of Congress to lend
hslping hssd 10 securing the emasc'ps'
ton Of slaves 10 Missouri 10 . bitter pill
d tho abolitiorists. They cannot see
why such Congress with such clear
majority In their favor should fail 70 ex-
tend satiopa! aid. Missouri is in debt
twenty-five millions-shs cannot raise
nor could she carry debt Of thirty mil
!ions more for any purpose--much lees
tor the purpose ofturnlng . lev negroes

"What effect tho bad faith OF Con-
cress to wards Missouri may have, re-
ts,d a contamination 20 devontly to be
wished. i, is impossible to tell, but it
cannot be other wise tEan great. For
hi. result tho republican members OF
Conpres. stand fairly and Immediately
responsible. Not one OF them bn,
should harg his head in shame when he
meets . liberty loving constituency.
We do not prelcod to say that the non
action OF Congress BY any means fatal =
de!uats emancipation in Missouri, but II
is easy to divine how thoroughly It en-
bsrrasses the friends Of tho measure"
The Weston lSentenel, another rabid
abolition paper, ,ays:
EMAxoipATIoS IN Missouri
grcss has adjourned, and the bill pro.
viding for compensation, in case Of the
passage Of an act OF EMANCIPATION by
the Legislature Of Missouri, has not
been passed. What led to this result,
whether the division among our ows
rep rese natives at Washington, or the
determined opposition which the meas-
IRE encountered in both Houses, or the
dilatory action Of our State Legislature,
or the want nf time, matters net nov.
The adjournment Of Congyes Without
passing tie act, settles, zoe oporehend, the
question Of Emancipation in Missouri,
for the present, at least.
There wa. no hope for immediate
emauc ipaiion, in view Of the many diff
culties which 3. present attend thu ques.
ton, fave in the passage Of an act by
Congress, fully compromising the loyal
owners o. slaves. Oar State Constitu :

and has made it obligatory. The Leg
islsture can pass no act which fails 10
provide tor full compensation 10 owners
Of slaves emancipsted, which will not

They know iull well the many rich
blessings that have accrued to them un-
der that Same Constitution, and in their
hearts they feel that they can prosper

They arc perfectly contentcd to let the

The Richmond Wing speaking of the evils of alb

1t is asserted that at the battles around Richmond,
in June, 1862, the number of soldiers on Gen. Lees
roll was hundred and twenty thousand. The
largest number present at these battles, oryeght
thousand At the battle of Sharpsburg, the number
on the Generals ro! was hundred and forty thou
sand The number actually present, and ID the engage
nent, was only thrtyfve thousand.
We have, adds the Wing, no estimate of the number
engaged on our side at Gettysburg, what the alb
