assigned In tho command of tho Department
of Missouri, and advocating nn amendment
to the Federal Constitution, which will pro
hibitslavery forever in the States to bo ad
mittcd into the Union.
New York, 2d. President hns received a
letter from General Grant, in which he not
only pledged lilmseir to aid Adjutant Gen.
Thoma in his labors, but also heartily In
dorses tho Emancipation nnd tho raising of
colored troops ; mid earnestly expresses, tliu
opinion that, with the latter, great results
can be obtained.
Chicago, fid. The following Is tho sub
staneo of tho letter from tho President to
tho Union ma meeting to bo held at Spring
Held (III.) to-day. Alter regretting his in
ability to attend, ho mi.vk : There aro those
who arc difs-ntblled with me. To such I
would say, You desire peace and you blamo
mu inai you uon i uavu u. urn now can
wo attain it? There aro but three conceiv
able ways : First To suppress tho rebel
lion by forco of nrm. This I nm Irving to
do. Aro voii for It ? If you nre, so far
wo arc agreed. The second way is to glvu
up Iho Union to disunion. 1 am agreed to
this if you am ; you should say fo plainly.
If you aro not for force nor yet for dissolu
tion, (hero only remains some imaginable
coinpvomlco. I do not bvlluvii any compro
mise embracing the- mniutntunueo of the
Union can bo possible. All Hint I burn
leadi to iv directly opposite belief. Tliu
strength or tho rebellion U its mllitaiy.
That army dominates tho country and all
the pi-ople within its range. Any oiler of
teinisj made by any man or men within that
range, in nppoi-itiun to that army, U simply
nothing, for the present. beeiiUM- nteh man
or men have no power whatever to enloren
lueirsiiii ot tliu en - promise It one who
made with them. Compromise, lo b. clN c-
live, ujum ueiuudo vitlnr w.tli lliy.-w who
control the rebel nrmy or with the people,
first liberated from the domination of that
nrmy by the success of our nrmy. Allow
mo to assnrn you that no word or intima
tion from tho rebel nrmy or any ons con
trolling It. in relation to nny pence or any
compromise, hns ever come to my hnowledc
or belief. All charges or intimations to tho
contrary are deceptive and groundless ; and
and I promise you that if nny snch propo
sition shnll hercnlter come it shall not be
rejected or kept secret from you. You dis
like the emancipation proclamation, nnd
E-rliaps would have It retracted. You sny
is unconstitutional. I think the Constitu
tion empowers its Commander-in Chief with
the laws of war In time of wnr. Now, the
most Hint cm bo said is Hint slaves arc
property. Is there hns there ever been
nny question Hint, by Iho Inws of wnr, prop
erty, both of enemy's nnd friend, may be
taken when needed? And Is It not ueedul
when taking it helps us or hurts the enemy?
Armies would even destroy the enemy's
property when they cannot no it. nnd even
destroy their own to keep it from the ene
my. Civilized Mltgrcnt do nil in their
power to help themselves or hurt tho enemy,
except n few tilings rcgnrded ns Itnrbnrou.
The proclamation is law. and valid or not
valid. If it is valid, It cannot bo retracted
nny more limn tho dend enn bo brought to
life. Some of you profess to think Hint n
retraction would operate favorably to the
Union. Why better nfter retraction than
beforo the lsm? There wn more llinn a
year nnd n haif of trial to suppress the re
bellion iM'fore the pinclamation wns issued :
nt lenst one hundred days of which passed
under nn explicit notice' Hint it was coming
unless it wn overt' d by those In revolt re
turning to their nib-glance. Tho wnr has
certainly progress! d ns favorably si nco the
lsuo or Iho proclamation as before. I
know, ns fully ns nny nun can know the
opinion of otiiers, that some of the com
manders of armies iu the field, who have
given ns our most Important victories, lie-
neve mo emancipation policy mm cnioreti
troops constitute Iho heaviest blows yet
dealt to tho rebellion ; that one. nt least,
of these important successes could not have
been nchlc vsl uuUss it had been for the nid
of black soldiers. Among tho commanders
holding these views nro some who have
nerer had any aflluity with what is calbd
abolitionism, or wild the Republican party
politics, but wlin hold them purely nn mili
tary opinions, i submit their opinions as
being entitled to some weight against the
objections often urged that emancipation
nnd arming the blacks aro unwise ns mili
tary measures, nnd were not ndopted n
such in good failh. You say that you will
not fight to free negroes. Some of them
seem to be willing enough to fight for you;
but no matter I use them exclusively to
save the Union. I issued the proclamation
nn purpose to nld iu saving tho Union,
Whenever you shall hnvo conquered nil re
sistance to the Union. If I should urge you
to quit (iggtlng it will be nu apt time then
for you to declare that you will not light
to free negroes. I thought that In your
struggle for tho Union, to whatever extent
negroes should ceao helping the enemy, to
that extent It would weaken his resistenco
to you. Do you think dlllercntly? I
thought that whatever negroes can bo got
to serve ns soldiers, leaves just so much
less lor white soldier to do in saving Ihn
Union. Does It appear otherwise to you ?
But negroes, like other people, not upon
motives. Why should they do anything
for us If we will do nothing for them ? If
they stnku their lives for us they must be
prompted by the strnugcxt motiveeven
Hie promise of freedom, and the promise
madu must lie kept.
Chicago, lid. A special to the New York
Tribune says : It is rumored among the
politicians at Richmond that Robert M. T.
Hunter is to be sent to Mexico, ns n repre
sentative of tho Southern Confederacy, iu
order to prepare tho way for nn olfensive
and defensive alliance between the Emperor
of that country nnd the Government nt
Richmond. It is said this gentleman has
received instruction for Iho immediate re
cognition of tho future Emperor of Mex
ico, in return for which it is hoped his Maj
esty will bo led to recognize the Southern
Confederacy. Hunter U now at Purls,

A Sociabi.r GovKRNmt. Gov. Powell,
of Kentucky, was never un orator, but his
conversational, story telling und social
qualities weru remarkable. His great fnrlo
lay in establishing a pcisonnl intimacy with
every one lie met, und in this way he was
powerful in electioneering. He chewed
immense quantities of tobacco, but never
carried tliu weed himself, nnd was always
begging it of every one ho met. His resi
dence was in Henderson, and in coming up
Iho Ohio, past that place, I overheard tho
following characteristic anecdote of him :--
A citizen of Henderson coming on board
fell into conversation with n passenger wliu
made inquiries about Powell.
He lives in your place, I believe, don't
he?"
" Yes, one of our oldest citizen."
" Very soelnhlo man ain't ho?"
" Remarkably so."
" Well. I thought so. I think he is one
of the most sociable men I ever met in ull
my life. Wonderfully sociable. I was in
troduced to him over nt Grayson Springs
last summer, und lie hadn't been with me ten
minutes when he begged all the tobacco 1
had, got his feet up in my lap nnd spit all
over mo re-markublv sociable."
Sai.k of Si,vKs. At n recent silo of
slaves at Lockville, Maryland, seven young
full grown, nhlC'bndicd "hands" brought
together S120, or 818 a head. Exchange.
Well, wo would not give 18 u head for
one hundred of the b?st slaves in this State.
They nre worth a great deal more ns com
pensated laborers, but they nro not worth
it ns slaves. Slavo property id fut losing
its value, unil all who nro not purblind with
prejudice see it and feel it. Tho question
of cnviucipulinn is n living, practical out
iu this Stato ; it is upon ih, nnd wo tnu-a
si'tllu it. We are as well convinced that
tho people of Tennessee will puss an eman
cipation ordinance- beforo twelve months! as
we nro tiiat they ought to do it. jVij.v'i
