Presidents L,peosn,. Letter.

From the Iowa City Republican.
Gov. Bramlette, Col. Hodges aud other
Kentuckians have been to see the Presi-
dent about Kentucky Slavery, 60, and
had long 'staik" on the subject. Col
Hodges desired the President TO put in
writing the views be bad expressed.
which he did in letter which We give on
our 6rst page.
We think the President vindicates the
superior wisdom nf Gen. Fremont. Secre-
tary Cameron and Gen. Haaier, in their
early efforts to strike at the cause Of all
our troubles. They raw and acted. He
did not comprehend and revoked their or
ders ~
The logic of events finally opened bis
eyes, and he was obliged to admit they
we're right, and TO follow their lead. He
held back as long as possible, bat says,
finally:
81 was, in my best Judgment, driren to
the alternative, of either surrendering the
Union, and with it the Constitution, or Of
laying strong hands upon the colored ele-
ment. chose the latter"
He was still doubtful Of the result Of
the measure. Hoped for more gain than
loss. but feared The CONTRARY. The result
is all gain. The Presideat does not claim
to have controlled events, bat admits that
events have controlled him. We think
this letter Of the President 6ne speci-
men offankness. aud the highest possible
compliment to those .clear-headed zen,
who saw the "end from the beginning =
We hope be has seen, BY this time, that
his course toward the Missouri radicals
has been no wiser than his attempt to pre-
serve slavery unframed in this terrible
strife which slavery has precipitated upon
US. He. there, has given has whole in
fuence to the semi.secessionists Of the
Gov. Gamble party, and against the only
real supporters Be bad 10 the State. We
think, in this, he showed about the same
wisdom be did il revoking Fremont's
and Hunters orders. He has finally been
driven on II their ground, and to the re-
moval of Gen. Schofeld from command
in Missouri, which shows that he can
learn, when it is dripen into him. The
nation has been to an awful cost in edu-
ea.irg him up to this point. end has, no
way of getting back the expeuditare but
to continue him for another four years.
There is one good thing in President
Lincoln. When he has learned thing,
he seems 70 kno,o it, and does not forget
il. We think he is now rid of all saueam-
. ishsess on the subject Of slavery, and is
ready to strike it. IS occasion offers.
Let him strike, hard and often,

Mas. MAGRUDER AND THE MURDERERs.-
Mrs. Magruder, accompanied by her three
children. visited the prisoners at the Luna
House. in Lewiston Mrs NJ asked them
to tell her what they had done with the body
of her husband. The prisoners ws<e silent
for some time. At Lengths Howard answered
that the last he saw of him was about seven
miles from East Bannock. She then said to
her eldest child "Johnv, beg these gentle
men to tell yon what they did with your fa-
ther." The child. with streaming eyes. asked
them to give him back his father The
mother, then, with frantic grief, implored the
men to tell her and said she had friends who
would bring the body 10 her. The prisoners
were very much affec ed during the scene,
and when Mrs, NJ had left the room. Howard
exclaimed to the guard: For Gods sake
don't let that woman come .agaln! NY IA.

ALEXANDER II. SrEPHEYs, Vice President
of the Southern Confederacy, don't know
much, says the Bee. In the Georgia Conven.
ton, while the ordinance of secession was lie
ing debated, he was simple enough 70 ash
these questions:
"Wbat right has the North as>sailed i?
What has been denied and wha. claim foun
ID in justice and right has been Withheld /?
Can either of YOU to. dav name one single act
of wrong. deliberately and rurposelv done by
the Government at Washington. IF which the
South has right to complain? challenge the
answer"
What ignorance! Why there is not a two
penny whistle of Democratic newspaper in
California but that could tell you all about
it. Mr. Stephens. The Merced Banner. the
Democratic Press, the Mountain Democrat,
the Red Bluff Beacon, the Marysville Ex.
press etc., etc., could each and all open your
eyes ard exY ose your profound ignorance of
matters on which you undertake to enlighten
others. Such benighted intellect in one So
high in place is only one explainable by
the suprosition that these California organs
of the rebels have not as general a circulation

his composition in balloons, and drop it from

:" The very mention of this compound he
goes on to say, as proposed element of
modern warfare, may possibly provoke
smile among chemists who know that the
most accomplished of their number would
scarcely dare to experiment with it in quan-
titles larger than grain of mustard seed,
and even then only at respectful distance,
and under guard at the moment Of its desoa-
alton. And Yet not one of those chemists
will be bold enough to deny that with twoor
