The circumstances that induced the Lincoln Government to allow Mr. Faulkner, whom they had arrested without warrant of law and without a shadow of pretext to justify so flagrant a breach of individual right, to come here, are known.

The condition exacted was that he should procure the liberation of Mr. Ely in exchange for his own, or return and submit himself to the rigors of a captivity as hard as it is unjust. So far as Mr. Ely is individually concerned, he has proved himself a man of kindly disposition and amiable impulses since here, and on his own account we could

Patterson candidly confessed that they were a hard set, and specified the occupations and antecedents of several of his men to prove the assertion.

Sterling Price, the rebel commander in Missouri, is now fairly played out. Failing to resolve any response to his begging call for 50,000 Missourian, his troops daily deserting his standard by hundreds, and the rebel Government having appointed a man to supersede him, he now presents a deplorable picture of what may be termed a used up man.
