Below we publish a letter of the President
of the United States l o a committee ol Lou
isiana planters, embodying a letter of the
fiaidcoDiuiittoe to the President asking that the
State ot Louisiana uiav be permiutd by the
Federal Government to return into the Un
ion with all the rtphts cf tbo ""late se uicd
as they existed previous to tho net ol Reces
sion. The committee says that the State
of Louisiana 'withes to return to its full aV.e
giance" and to "the enjoMncnt o' all the
rights and privileges exercised by the other
States under the Federal Constitution "
The President, it will be seen, in his reply
to this reasonable request of tho people of
Louisiana, says bo has reliable information
that a portion of the people of Louisiana de
sire to amend their State Ccncti'.uiion, and
ho makes this Iho ground ol keeping the
Male out of the Unoin, for denying to the
reople ofthat Slate le priviledge of elect
nig u in sac ana i'cuo.-ai oiiiceig s prov:uea
lor by Ihe Constitution and laws ol Louisiana.
Now, we ask, is the laet. that a "portion" ol
Ihe people ol Louisiana desire to amerd their
State Constitution a good reason for the
Federal Government to keep the State out
of the Union? Or is it but a contemtible
ixcuse ol a contemptible Abol'tion party to
prevent the restoration of the Union? Cotsld
not tho people of Loui-iana al'er the Consli
tution of their Suite, it the desired to do so,
as well after her restoration to the Union as
before? Mo?t surely tl.ey could. Why then
keep tip a war agaio-t the people of Louisi
ana, when they ore w lling to lay down their
irms and come back to the Union, unul the
Mate Constitution tla!l be amended? up
yon' , upon tiial the State Constitution shall
be found that the people of the State, al
though willing to return to tho Union, are
opposed to any alteration of their State Con
MiiiiuLioii, must the State l heie fore be de
ritd the privileges of the Uiiion foieTer, and
n.usl the' Federal Executive make perpetual
war upon brr? From this letter el the Pres
Usui il would seem so. Il an alternation of
Ui constitutions ot all the s.-ceaifig Sates
aie the tenns ;iud conditio ts upon the which
hi uiony is to be restored to our unhappy
coucry, then u.dcud do we fear it is a ioi.g
way jf.
Although Mr. Lincoln does not say in ex
pies terms what alterations be k'ishes in
ihe coublituti m ul Ljuisiuni, yet in view of
bio tiumioipation proclamations and other
k.u-oai inumuerable abolition acts of the ad
ioluiira'.ion, there cannot be no doubt as to
vbat his wishes are, and what his purposes
a. e. He pu piser, in (fleet, that no seceding
Smv i State shall return to the Union until
-t-cgio flavery is aboli-bed by an alteratibn
ul iuo Constitutions of those States. Thus
it wi.l be tean that the war is to be continu
ed, uut for the restoration oi the Unioa, but
" loi iho Abolition of Negro Slavery.

Union are oue and inseparable, now and for

What i the condition of Loii!sisna to dav?
Is she in the Union or is she oui of the U

by an express constitutional provision, to
her equal representation in the Senate, and
to her pi oj er proportion of Representatives
in the lower House of Congress, and th
Piesidert, who by miliary power, reluaes
this ni:ht to her is guilty of a crime an im
pencl:able oller.sc aiiinst the laws and con"
siitntion cf ti e coun.ry.
iint if the is out 01 the Union, how d d she
(ret out? In no other way surely than by
her ordinance ol secession. But to admit
this is to adopt Hie whole theory of feces
sion, which wo know Mr. Lincoln has de
nied !rom the beginnig of our unhappy coa
troversy i h the seceding Stites.
Now w? say, i she is in the Union, give
her her rights under Ihe Constitution. But
il iho "gcvernmrnt" trea's her when her
clear constitutional lights are involved as
iln'Ui-h bho were out of Ihe Union, then
cease to war upon her any longer, for the
rannot be in at'd out of the Union at the

Ihe Union we have no right to make war
upon her. It in the Union, then she is en
titled to her full representation in Congress,
snd the war upon her should cease as soon
as she is willing as she now says she is
to return to her "lull allegiance" to the gov
eminent of the United States.
If there was nothing involved in this do
pl.jrable controversy but the restoration ol
the Union, the proposition of Louisiana
would be at once accepted. But the nigger
must be free, and there lore the war must
continue.

Early in June last a Coin mi' tee of Louis

correspondence which follows) wailed upon
President Lincoln, at tbe White House,
with a petition in behall of the great plant
ing interest of tho State, for authority (rom
Ihe General Government to proceed to the
election (in Xoember next) ol Federal and
Stale officers, in nuisuanre ot the Constitu
lion ol tho United States, and of tho exist

President hiaid the Committee, received
their proposition in wrilitij, and courteous
ly dismissed them, wilh the promise that
alter u Cabinet consultation on the subject,
the committee should have his reply. There
was, accoidingly, a Cabinet consultation,
and the result is given in tbe President's let

membered that the exis ing State Constitu

spirit and purposo ol the ruling elements ol

Messrs. E K. Malhiot, Biudish Johnson, and

Gentlemen Your letter, which follows,
has been received and considered:
"To His Excellency Abraham Lincoln Presi
dent of the United Slates:
"Tbe undersigned, a committee appointed
by the planters of the State of Louisiana,
r'pectlully represent that they have been
delegated to seek ol the General Govern
ment a full recognition o fall the right of
tre State as they existed previous to the
passage ol an act of secesbion, upon the pi in
ciple of the existence of the Slate Constita
tion unimpaired, end no legal act having
transpired that could in any way deprive
ihem of the advintages con'erred by the
Constitution. Under this Constitution- tbe
State wishes to return lo its full allegiance,
in (he rnjnyment of all rights and privileges
orercised hy the other Stales under the
Federal Constitution. With the view ol ac
complishing tbe desired object, we further
request that your Excellency will, as Com
maudcr-in chief ol the army ol the United
States, diiect the Military Governor o!
Louifiana to order arj election, in conformity
wilh the ConsututioD and laws of the .State,
on the li t Monday ol November next, for

"With high consideration and respect, we

E E. Mathiot,

Thos Ccttman."
Since receiving the lotter, reliable infer
mation has reached me that a respeoiable
portion of the Louisiana people desire to a
mend their Statu Constitution, and contem
plate holding a Convention for that object.
This fact alone, as it seems to me, is a suf
ficient reason why the General Government
should not give tbe Committee the au.burity
you seek to act under the existing State
Constitution. I may add, that while I do
not preceive how such a committal could
facilitate our military operations in Louisiana,
I really apprehend it might be so used as to
embarrass them. ' ''
As to an election to be held n xt Novem
ber, there is ' abundant time without any
order or proclamation from me Just now.
The people of Louisiana shall not lack an
onDoriunity for a fair election for both Fed
eral and State officers, by want of any thing
within my powor to give tbein.

amusing scenes. Most all the conscripts
have in their poses . ion a copy of tho exem

plea it is not long before they have another
before the board.
A man from Washington county, who, by
Ihe way, is a wealthy and penurious bache

a lawyer to attend to his case. The lawyer

that the only way lie could gut oil' would be

Upon questioning the lawyer when his client
wna-married, he said he did not know. It

the worse to go into the army or get married,

J;tric ITIcllvaiuc and im Pledge
Two years ago Judge Mc'lvalne pledged
his word and honor to the voters and sol
diers, that if they would elect him Judge he
would, so long as the war continued, give
three hundred dollars ont of his sulary of
fifleen hundrtu dollars per annum, to sup
port the families ol soldiers. The people, ro
lying on his pMg!, elected him Many
poor men went into tho war bdieving that the
Judge ana) others would per'orm their pledg
es and support their children while they
were fighting our battles. The Judge has
now been in office nearly two yea's, and un
der his pledge owes the soldiers' lamilijs
about six hundred dollars. But the Judge
has not paid over one dollar, and now posi
tively reluses lo p- rfprru his pledgo. Il has
taken that six hundred dollars which honest
ly belongs .to tbo suffering families of sol
diers, and has embellished his hou-e so it
looks good enough for any King or Lord to
live in. Many soldiers' children cry for
bread, and, as it were, point to the splendid
pajaee-ol Judge Mcllvaine, and then to his
pledge, which secured their father's vot:,
and induced them to go into the army, and
then appeal t his honor. Bui, the Judge,
delighted with the magnificence of his man
sion, turns a deaf ear to their appeal, and
with one lot t upon bis pledge and the other
on his honor, bids defiance to tbeir tears and
entreaties. ' Ha inan will disregard so sa .
cred a pledge, what pledge would be consider
of any binding force! He might give three
hundred dollars a year, according to his
promise, and still have It ft him twelve hun
dred dollars a year, while tbe poor private
soldier only gets one hundred and fifty six
dollars a year. .

Sunday last, about ten o'clock during the
absonce of Mr. Warden C. Atkinson, who
resides about six . miles west ol Zanosville,
attending meeting, bis barn was tired. He
thinks the perpetiator was a Miss Adela
Keeso. The woman has been arrested. All
the part es owning barns that have been fir

arms. Last Sunday was a day ol as much
excitement and false alarm in the--townships

Since the above was in type Miss Reese
has had an examination belore Esq. Eagan,

As all the barns burned were owned by

CJen. Meade's Folillcs.
The Chicago Times says:
At the breaking out ol the war there were
few men in the country who felt loss laith
in the efficiency of war to restore the Union
than General (then Captain) Meade, and no
man deplored the war more than he. Tbe
writer of this speaks whereof he knows.
His idea ol the event of tbe war was the
ruin of both sections, To repeat his own
language, "There wonld be nothing left oi
either section but the tail, and the North
might bave the longer tail." Gen. Meade
was then, and no doubt is now highly con
servative in his political opinions his syui
pathies, we think, being with the Douglas
Democracy and thought as badly of Aboli
tionism 84 we do. We have seen it stated
that in Religion be is Roman Catholic.
That is a mistake. He is Episcopalian.

The abolition papers parade the following
remark ol Mr. Vallandighain", and represent
it as having been made since the commence
ment ol (he rebellion;
"Then, sir, I am not a southern mm eith
er, although in this most unholy and uncon-
sti'Utjonal crusade against the South, in the
midst ol the invasion, arson, insurrection
and murder to which she has been subject,
and with which she is h til I threatened
with the torch of the incendiary and the
dagger of the assassin suspended over her,
my most cordial sympathies are wholly with
her."
, We will pay any man twenty dollars who
will show us any letter or speech of Mr.
Vallandigbam's, in which this language is
used other than in his speech delivered in

Gov. Andrew promised that if the Pres
ident would issue a proclamation ol emanci
pation, New England would swarm with
volunteers for the war. The desired dicu
meit was issued, but no swarms arrived
from Massachusetts. On the contrary, the
Spring-fluid Sep'.iMican, an Abolition paper,
remarks as follows:
It would soem us though we were a very
sillily and degenerated raw,, judging 'rom the
long lists of exompls. It is plain the Gov
eminent will not get many men from this
diaft, and if the whole of the original quoto
c died for is obiain.d, not only will another
draft have to bo made, Which will exhaust nil
the first class, but the second class will be large
ly drawn upon also. But it is more likely
ihe Government will net what men it can
from this draft, and obtain whatever more
may be needed by volunteering and ihe pay
ment ol largo bounties. The tact that New
Jersey has had permission to raise her men
by volunteering would seem to point to such
a conclusion.

"The Copperheads and Butternuts
were always in the front opposing r us.
Occasionally wo would meet with'
pure Southron, generally persons ban
ished from the border States. In
Indiana one recruit was, obtained," a
boy fourteen years old, who came as
an orderly. I think the people" of
Indiana and Ohio are anxious for
peace; and could the idea of ' their
ability to conquer us once be gotten
rid of, they would clamor for an: im
mediate recognition. Every town'
was illuminated and the people' every

Cost of tub Draft. It is estima
ted that thirty thousand men are at
present employed by the Adirriuistra
tion under the Conscription Law, tho
salary of each averaging more than
eight times the pay of a private sol
dier. In addition, fifty thousand "in-,
valid soldiers" who are engigod in the
service as "guards" to the Provost
Marshal's, most of whom are fit for
duty in the field. Thus the expense
of enforcing the Conscription Act is
about equivalent to the pay of an army
of three hundred thousand men. '.'.If
tho money thus blindly disbursed had
been offered in the form of, bounties
to the volunteets, all. the troops that
will be raised by tho draft would be
forthcoming without it. But as it in
the Conscription has added to, the
measure of, popular disgust of the war
and developed a strong feeling, in fa
vor of peace throughout tho country.
