serenada to the President.

WAsHIRaToN, Feb. 2.-The serenadiup
party last night having played several airs
before the White House, the President ap-
peared and was greeted with loud cheers.
The President said he supposed the pass.
age through Congress of the constitutional
amendment for the adjustment of slavery
throughout the United States was the oc-
casion to which he was indebted for the
honor of this call. APplsuse. The oc.
casion was one of congratulation to the
country and to the whole world, but there
is a task yetbefore the United States to 90
forward and consummate by the votes of
the States that which Congress had so no
bly, begun yesterday. Applause and cries,
''they will do it," &c. He had the honor
to inform those present that Illinois had
already to-day done the work. Zap
plause. Maryland was proud that lii
nois was little ahead. He thought this
measure was very fitting, ifnot an indis.
pensible adjustment to the winding up of
the great difficulty. Applause He WISH
ed the Reunion of all the States perfected
and 80 effected as to removed all causes of
disturbance in the future, and to attain
this end it was necessary that the original
disturbing cause should if possible be
rooted out. He thought all would bear
him witness that he had never shrunk
from doing all that he could to eradicate
slavery by issuing his emancipation proc.
lamation. Applause. But that prcc!a-
nation falls far short of what the amend
ment willibe when fully consummated. A
question might be raised, whether the
proclamation was legally yalid2 1t might
be added that it only aided those who came
into our lines, that it was not in operation
as to those who did not give themselves up,
or that it would have no effect upon the
children of the slaves born hereafter. In
fact it would be urged that it did not meet
the evil. But the amendment is q Kings
cure for ell the evils. [App!ause 1t
winds the whole thing up. He would re.
peat that it was the fitting, if not indis-
pensable adjunct to the great game we are
playing. He could not but congratulate
all present, himself, the country and the
whole world, uponthis great moral victory

%THE MARKHTs.-The prices of some
of the necessaries of life are advancing
again. Beef and pork sell at 20 cents a

as mutton, commands 25 cents. The
butchers are the only people who can sat-
ifactoriIy account for this state of things.
Butter sells at 80 cents pound, and eggs
at S5 and 40 cents dozen. The old blue
