The Friends# Ts the Editor of The Press: Sir: Several emya have a peared In The Trees on “ The Exemption of Friend* from Military Re quisitions,” but it la evident some of the writers do not appreciate the motives whieh actuate con* sistent members of the society. Since their first rise in England, Friends have testified that ail wars and fightings are inconsistent with the Gospel which came by Jesus Christ. 'When they emigrated to this country, they brought with them the principles of civil and religious liberty, and, where they had the power, fully guarantied to their fellow-citizens the same liberty of « on ' science which they claimed for themselves. Almost immediately alter the arrival of William Penn, n 1682, he issued a code of laws for the gorcrameat or his then infant Colony of Penn*ylvania, w stands unrepealed upon our statute t>o° , Lord of couieteoce, “Almighty God being if a# ob> j e^r of a u Father of r U{ } worship, who only can and convince the s^£ntandiEjE*ofpeople, in due reverence to His w^Sum^overtffaouls of mankind, it is enacted s®;f». e *uiiu»rity af(>r«sald, that no person no-v, or asVnr time hereafter, living in this province, who shall ci-nfcis and acknowledge our Abnighty Goa lo be the creator, uphold'-r, and ruler of the world, and that piofrs&e:h him or herself obliged in con* science to Jive peaceably and justly turner the civil Government, shall in any wise be molested or pre judiced for his or her conscientious persuasion or practice, ****** and if *nv person shall abuse or deride any other f*»r his or her different persuasion or practice in inn*ter of religion, such shall be locked upon as a disturber of the peace, and be punished accordingly.” • A recent writer, siluttiog to systems of govern ment, hat well remarked that “iris to the institu tions of William Penn that the United States are chiefly indebted for the example of that civil and religious liberty which is the basis of our institu tions.” The following memorial, which dearly sets forth the ground# of the tea lm->x)y of the Society of Friends against war, w*s rtcentlv presented by a delegation of its mcmiwiß to The President of the United States and both houses of Gongress: To the President* Senate and House of Representatives of the Unitid Slates. Tbxs memorial of tbe Representative Committee, or Meeting for Sufferings,«>l th*- Religious Society of Friends of Pennsylvania. New Jersey, Dela ware, and adjacent part# of Maryland, respectfully sbeweth, that We respect, honor, and love this Government, which we believe Divine Wisdom has placed over lit, and because of this we » e?ue that it may, in no particular, be found striving against God, or perse* eating His children, however humble in position or numbers They may be. Under the piesent law or Congress every Able* bodied citizen within certaio an**#, la time of war, is liable to be called upon by t»e Government to bear arms in its defence. We represent a people wh-"» cannot comply with this law without disotnyii g the c unmand of God to them. Neither can they furnisn * «uf>arjtute v or pay any equivalent or fine imputed air exemption from snilit&iy service, because, in an d-*iug, they feel that they would implicate iu a violation of Their conscientious sciTii-lrr u» rci« r*«peet. We hold that the d<>e»rine tbat flu man. govern ments arc ordained of Gut, not Imply the in fallibility of those who a.-or.ni-v r tnem. and gives them no right to require n* r «» rmit’e oar allegiance to the Almighty, who 1* s -vr-reigii Lord of con science, and whose right it la to rule and reigm in the hearts of His cbiidien. For more than two hut-dre-i years our Society has held tbe doctrit.e to** ad and were forbidden to tiie<n, to i w: r# e»f Ohii»t—dif fering in this respect iro-o neniu all other associa tion* of men claiming the O.ns i*.'» ?;ame.

We appreciate the difficulties that surrouad those upon whom rests the respoi.Mftility oi guiding the nation through the awful perils ot civil war. We appeal to you under a sense of suffering; afflictions and mourning surround us, and sorrow hath filled our hearts. Many oi our young men, overcome by the spirit of Tver, have lUihed into tne conflict, where some of them have found an early den.*h - aome have pur* chased their release from the dr.fc by the payment ©X money ; others have jetuamed steadfast to their iaith in the hour of trial, theieby subjecting them* selves to the penalty for desertion. Trusting in the mercy of our Heavenly Father, we desire that he may so touch your hearts and under standing* with Bis wisdom that you may grant our petition.

Major General Fremont has written the subjoined letter to the Chairman of the Committee on Mili tary Affairs in the House, explanatory of his pre sent position in the army, and his removal from tive service for so long a time: Nsw Yohjz, Jan-, 18*4. dsnffiAt • The condensed newspaper reports of the House proceedings in relation to unemployed officers places me in a position which I am not will ing to occupy without explanation. 1 need hardly say to you teat it is not by my own wish that I have been unemployed for the past six teen months. I requested to be relieved from my oommand in the Army of Virginia because I regard ed the order which reduced me to serve under Gen. Pope as a most unmerited insult. It was in the discretion of tiie Ptetident to refine °r grant my request. tub granting or tne request ■imply implied a transfer to other duty, and was not Jo do taken with the penalty attached. That neither the President nor the Storet»ry of War so regarded my oonduet, it would be sufficient to wwnflon tha repeated assurances I have receive* irom both that ffceyweie endeavoring to give me a oommand so be ?°p e ; “d the additional foot ibatabout the close of the last session of Congress a highly important command was expresslv arranged forme by the Secretary of War. The eommand itself And my designation to it, received the appro* batten of the President; but it was finally given to another officer. ° Under the condition, therefore, of waiting orders, X have reasonably been desirous to retain, against the contingency of entering immediately upon ser vice, a small number of useful officers upon whose tried ability I could rely for any emergency. Of this number, several have the experience of many years in their profession. Fr/>m the beginning of the war they have been in our service, and left oomfortabie homes and luocesalul business to engage in it.

Anti-slavery Song.

Lift, like a trumpet lift your voioes, Unaway’d alike by fear or guile, Till every segro child rejoices, And every parent learns to smile, And knows that feeling now uuknown— His wife, his children, are his own* No passing dream, no empty vision, Again must o’er our senses creep. Till we have broke our brother’s prison, And laid hie fetters in the deep, And every eon of toil shall be That which his God hath made him—free. Sons of Columbia, let us never The cry of liberty give o’er Till slavery sinks, and slabs forever.

Festival akd Flag Presentation.—A beautiful American flag, eighteen feet by tea, to gether with a liberty cap, wreath, and cushion, were presented to the Patriotic Order of Washington, discharged soldiers’ and seamen’s beneficial associa tion, at the Assembly Buildings, last evening, by their lady friends of this city. Tho number of per sons present was quite large, and composed chiefly of young ladies. Major C. M. Berry conducted the exercises in hiß usual gentlemanly manner. The articles above mentioned were presented to the Association on behalf of the ladies by the Rev. Mr. Beckwith, in a neat and appropriate speech, in which he paid an eloquent tribute to the services rendered by the representatives of the army aad navy. At the conclusion of his address, Colonel Phillip S. White said: Ladies, These testimonials of y eur regard for this , association of gentlemen who have conferred on me | the honor of giving expression to their thanks, are | as-creditable to yourselves as it is honorable to them. In their name, therefore, and in the name of the patriot soldier everywhere. X thank you. such acts are not strained, but fall as the gentle dews from Heaven, blessing the givers as well as the reci pients. A testimonial of respect of any kind by fair women to their country’s defenders, is a proper com pliment to brave men; but there is a peculiar pro priety in the language of these gifts made on auoh a day, and to such an organization as “ The Patriotic Order Of Washington.” They will read in the strioes Of this flag love for the Union, parity of intention in the development of its object, and fidelity to the solemn obligation of perpetuating its blessings, while itß multiplied and multiplying stars twinkling from their bed of azure blue, indicative of Heaven’s pro tection, will reflect the glories of the battles they have iought and the victories they have won for their country and for universal freedom. The Bible will suggest to them a contest of vastly more importance than the one from which they have retired with honored and honorable scars. It will teach them to bear their well-earned fame with becoming and pro fitable modesty, to gain victories over themselves ia this life, and when the war of life is over, to be crowned with eternal happiness in the one to come; while the accompaning wreath presented J)y the hand of woman, bespeaks not only the highest ap preciation of their noble services, but a beautiful and delicate intimation that “the brave alone de serve the fair.” This association of veterans was organized on the soth of May, 1363. It is composed of soldiers and seamen who have been honorably discharged from their country’s ser vice. They represent every battle-field of this fra tricidal war, from Virginia to Texas, and from the Carolinas to Kansas. It was inaugurated for mu tual relief and assistance. All persons who have been one year in the military or naval service, and who have been honorably discharged, are entitled to full membership, and to & certain weekly stipend in cue of sickneea or disability* What a beautiful combination is this of wisdom, benevolence. aud-> patriotism ! The best feelings of the human heart have prompted it, and the known humanity and high respectability of its founders must insure the practical development of its motives. These gen tlemen have sated wisely in the selection of their president. Major Casper 11. Berry’s name occupies no mean place m the history of the Mexican war. He has been a conspicuous aotor in those soenesof blood and devastation where Virginia is suffering the penalty of her pride and the retribution due to her insolent treason. ladles I am proud to represent, on this oooaalon, •uch a band of patriots and philanthropists.

A man, calitog himself Mount, has been la the hsMt, for some time, of collecting moneys ia the name of the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon Committee. He is said to be a thick set man, about five feet eight iuohes high, of a clerical appearance, »cd good address. The attention of the polios has been called to him. but without SUOoess. He being an impostor, and not known to any of the Commit tee of that saloon, the public should be careful, when they contribute, to place it in the hands ot proper persons. * Tire Central Station, There were ho eases heard at the Station yester day, nor last evening, possessing any publio interest whatever. The detectives were busy in the im mense crowds during the day, to proteot the people from the nimble digits of professional pickpockets. Two or three arrests of New York thieves were made early in the dav. This had the desired effect upon others who had come from that city for the purpose of thieving. But few if any of the Phila delphia pickpockets who are known to the police were seen in the streets, or at the railroad dd jdta. PHILADELPHIA BOARD OF TRADE.
