Eausted condition. Magruder had 24,0G0 on

tive.
Kirby Smiths headquarters are still at

PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND THR DRAFT
President Lincoln, in letter TO the Governor
OF Vermont, in relation to the draft, states that
"the pending call is not for 100000 men sub
ject to fair credits, but for 100000 remaining
after all fair credits have been deducted"
committee of the Legislature of Rhode Island
who had recent interview with the President
have made report thereof in which they say:
''In reply TO requests for postpoRement of
the draft, the President replied that he was
. ready TO aemit that Rhode Island had nyarj-
ably been among the most foremost OF the
States in the performance of her duty
and that she was still actuated by the same
patriotic impulses, bat that the country could
better afford in consideration OF her merit 20
relinquish her quota altogether than to grant a
postponement of the draft for a single day
The moral effect, said he, of furnishing the
men called for promptly and without hesi:a-
ton, will be as great power as the men them-
selves and l believe, he added that the opin.
ion which Gen. Hancock expressed to me yes
terday. is entirely well founded, thatifan army
could be presently increased by four hundred
thousand men, not one Of them would ever be
required to fire musket at the enemy.
Ii L should allow postponeMent OF the
draft to Rhode Island, j should be doing in
justice to other States, unless the same ia vor
was shown to all; and as soon as IL was re-
ported through the newspapers that your State
had the promise OF an extension, every other
State, whether influenced by the same high
motives or not, that Rhode Island in prefer
ring this request claims to be, would demand
the same pArtiality."
They had also an interview with the Sec
retary of War, the result OF which is thus
stated:
1.-THE committee were informed that before a
draft could take place in any district, an order
to that effect m ust first issue from the Secretary
through the Provost Marshal Geueral-aud.
that so long as the bgsiness OF recruiting
should be pursued with results satisfactory TO
the department no order for draft would is
sue for this State. The Secretary WAS ually
firm with the President that no partic alar ex-
tension Of time could be allowes, and that
while a full assurance would be given that no
draft should be had while recruiting was ac-
tiveIy progressing, that this must be under
stood as the condition upon which the liability
to have one was suspended.

cite sIl and $11.50 to the trade for hard and
soft, and Sl2 and Sl2 SO retail.
Cotton Market dull and unsettled, owing
to the heavy arrivals at New York from Sa-
vaDnah, and prices nominal.
Flour.-The heavy awards for Flour m nade
by the Commissary of Subssten have caused
better feeling in all grades of Howard Street
ana western, receipts Of which continue very
moderate and prices close fully 12H cts better.
Standard City Mills brands are also firmer
but there is no alteration to notice in Baltimore
high grades.
Potatoes.-Prices have ruled higher in the
absence OF receipts, and with good demand
for Government
Provsiens.-.Nothing of importance has
been done in this branch of trade, but towards
the close the market showed more firmness,
owing to the improved feeling at the West and
the steady demand for the Government.
Bacon transactions have been confined to
the wants OF the trade at 2la2lk cents for
shoulders, at 23a23H cents for sides, and at
NA a25 cents for sugar cured Hams. Shipping
Hams are scarce and in more demand at 22a22k
cents.

the demand limited.
Transactions in Sugars, Bread, Cheese
Beans, Beeswax, Alcohol, Ashes, Bark, Iron,
Lead, Naval Stores, Oils, Petroleum, Leather
Wheat, Corn, Rve, Oats, Millfeed, &c have
all been light with but very little terest.
Tobacco-1nspections continue light, and
the demand for all descriptions of Leaf slow,
owing TO the heavy decline in gold and ster-
part OF holders, prices are nominally un-
changed.

DRY GooDs sAUCTIoNs.-Another large sale
of Domestic Goods to- day does not seem to in
dicate more favorable signs as TO business
activity. What was said Of Wilmerding Il
Mounts sale yesterday, may be duplicated OF
that of Haggerty IL Co.'S this morning. The
attractions were large, the attendance great,
but the sale cannot be called q cess. For
instance, ten entire lots OF fayorite New Eng
land brands were withdrawn On one lot
there we.e no bids, while duplicates only
here and there were the exceptions.
The prices varied from those of yesterday,
but seesawed up and down so that no fair in
ference could be drawn. The tone OF feeling
at the beginning of the sale was good and
cheering enough, but it soon began to flag as
the sale progressed. There was few similar
packages in both sales, and from them what
ever OF comparison can be instituted is to be
drawn. Ballou A bleached sheetings selling
