THE zuenox.

The extraordinary calmness and good order with which
the million, of voters met and mingled at the polls, give
strong assurance of this. Not only a 3 those who sup-
ported the •• Union Ticket," (so called) but a great
majority of the opposing party also, may be fairly claimed
to entertain and to be actuated by the acme purpose. It
is an unanswerable ar‘ument, to this effect, that no candi-
date for any office whatever, high or low, has ventured to
seek votes on the avowal that he was fur giving up
the Union. There have been much impugning of
motivee, and much heated controversy as to the
proper meats and beet mode of advancing the Umiou cause,
but in the distinct issue of Union or no union the poli-
ticians have shown their instinctive koonledge that there
is no diversity among the people.
In affording the people the fair opportunity of showing
one to another and to the world, tLis firmness and unati•
laity of purpose, the election has been of vast value to the
national cause. The election has exhibited another fact
out less valuable to be known—the fact that we do not
approach exhaustion in the moat important branch of the
national resources, that of living num.

SLATE TRADERS.

For myself, I have no doubt of the power and duty of the
esecutive, under the law of nations, to exclude enemies of
the human race from an asylum is the United State*. if
Congress should think that proceedings in inch cases leek
the authority of law, it ought to be further regulated by it.
I recommend that provision be made for effectually prevent-
ing foreign slave traders from acquiring domicile and facili-
ties for their criminal occupation in our country.

CONVEDERATE 13ELLIGEKENCT.

It is possible that if it were a new and open luestioe,
the maritime powers, with the light they now enjoy, would
not concede the privileges of a naval belligerent to the in-
surgents of the United States, destitute as they are, and
always have been, equally of ships and of ports and har-
bors. Disloyal rmisariee have been neither leas usiduoos,
nor more successful, during the last vest than they were
before that time, in their efforts under favour of that pri-
vilege, to embroil our country in forei,to wars. The desire
and determination of the maritime states to defeat that
design are believed to be as 0100/Ifo as, and cannot be MOTO
earnest than our own.

THE EMANCIPATION POLICE.

- . .
Ins presenting the ebssidooment of armed resistance to
the nabooal authority on the part of the insurgents as the
only indispensable condition to ending the war osi the part
of the Government, I retract nothing heretofore said as to
slavery. I repeat the declaration node a year ago ; and that
while I remaiu in my present position 1 shall not attempt
to retract or modify the Enorocipation ProclamaCon.
Nor shall I return to slavery any person whom free by
the terms of that proclamation, or by auy of the acts of
Congress. If the people should, by %hatersr mode or means,
I make it an Executive duty to re.enslave such persons,
&pother, and not I, must be their instrusueut to perform it.
In stating a single condition of peace, I mean simply to
say, that the war will cease or the part of the Coverument
whenever it shall have ceased on the part of thus* who
bman it.

COMPLICATIONS.

Nevertheless unforeseen political difficulties have arias°,
especially in Brazilian sod British pOllll and on the North-
ern boundary of the United Statue, which liars required,
and ars likely to contiuse to require, the practice of con-
stant vigilarice, and a just and conciliatory spirit on the pert
of the United States, as well sa of the nations concerued,
and their Gann:moots. Comuusnouere hays bean ap-

THE POPULAR VOICE.

It is not claimed that the election has imposed a duty
on members to change their views or their votes any
farther than as an additional dement to be considered.
Their judgment may be affected by it. It is the voice of
the people DOW for the first time heard upon the ques-
tion. In a great national crisis like ours, unanimity of
action among those seeking a common end is very desira-
ble, almost indispensable, and yet uo approach to such
unanimity is ►ttainable unless some deference shall be paid
to the will of the insjority, simply because it is the will of
majority. In this case the common end is the mainten-
ance of the Cuion, and among the means to secure that
end, such will, through the election, is most clearly declared
in favour of such constitutional aw,•ndmcut. The most
reliable indication of public purpose in this country is derived
through our popular elections. Judging by the present
canvass and its results, the purpose of the people within the
loyal States to maintain the integrity of the Union was
never more firm, or more nearly unanimous than now.

THE WAR.

the important lieu and positioos then occupied by our forou

vanced, thus liberating the regions left in the rear, so that
Minoan. Kentucky, Tennessee, and puts of other states,
have pr-Jduced reasonably fair crops.

INDIAN AFFAIRS.

As intimately connected with and promotive of dila mate-
rial growth of the nation, I ash the attention of Congress to
the valuable information and important recommendations
relating to the public lands, ladiau affairs, the Pacitic Rail-
road, sod mineral discoveries, contained in the report of the
Secretary of the listener, which is herewith transmitted,
and which report also embraces the subjects of Wept',
pensions, out other topics of public intersst pertaining to

NEW BEAM.

The organisation and edatiseion of the State of Nevada
has been completed, inconformity with law, and thus our
excellent system is firmly established in the mountains
which once seemed a barren and uninhabitable waste be-
tween the Atlantic States and those which have grown up
on the coast of the Paciti; Ocean.
THE TIBRITORIZII.

The Territories of the Union are generally in a condition
of prosperity and rapid growth. Idaho and Montana, by
reason of their great distance and the interruption of com-
muoication with them by Indian hostilities, have been only
partially orgaiiised ; but it is understood that these difficul-
ties are about to disappear, which will permit their Govern-
ments, like those of the others, to go iota speedy and full
operation.

THE AMNLSTT.

A year ago reneral paohn and amnesty upon specified
terns were offered to all except certsio designated classes,
avid it was at the same tame mule Xtbesen that the o:emoted
classes were still within coutemplation of sea CiAl clemency.
During the year many a►ailel thee...elves of the getieral
pro►isions, and many would. male that the signs of bad
faith in some led to such precautionary measures as
rendered the practical 1F10C,14 less easy seal certain.
During the earns time also special par lens ha►e
been granted to individuals of excepted classes, and
oo ►oluntary acting has been denied. Thus practically the
door has bees for a full year open to all, except such as
were not in exudation to make free chaise, that is, such as
were iu cnstody Sr under coustraiut. It is soil apt open to
all, but the time may come, awl probably will ante, when
public duty shall dimmed that it be dosed, and that in lien
thereof more rigorous measorgs than heretofore shall be
adopted.

rtSCRRECTION ART PORTS.

The ports of Norfolk, F dins. and None*la have
been opeoed by proclamation. It is hoped that foreign
merchants will sow consider whether it is not safer and
more profitable to themselves, as well as just to the United
States to resort to these and other open porta than it is to
pursue through many bawds, and at vast cost, a contra-
band trade with other ports which are closed, if not by
actual military occupation, at least by a lawful and effective
blockade.

THE WAR IN TENNESSEE.

Southern papers contain a report that the Fe-
derail had retired from Cumberland Gap to Knox-
ville, Sherman having ordered East Tennessee to
be devastated and abandoned.
Thomas has concentrated his forces A:thin Nas-li-
ville. Hood has captured a blockhouse four mil, s
from Nashville on the Chattanooga road, where he
was erecting breastworks within half-a-mile of those
of the Federals around the city.
Deserters report that General Lee has published
an order claiming a Confederate victory at Franklin.
Southern papers think that Hood will not attack
Nashville, but penetrate Kentucky or East Teu-
Lessee.

The news from East Tennessee is conflicting.
Federal accounts represent that General Burbridge,
when he evacuated Cumberland Gap, &deafly, cl
against Breckenridge, who was retiring towards
Weste-n Virginia. Confederate accounts claim that
Breckenridge is master of the situation, and that
the Federals were retreating to Knoxville.
General Stephen Lee, in an order issued to his
troops, congratulates them ou their victory over the
Federals at Franklin on the 30th ult., and compli-
ments them on their bravery and devotion. He
promises them that if they tight with equal valour
in future, Nashville, with its immense stores, will
soon be in their possession.

Later estimates of the casualties at Franklin state
the Federal loss at 1,500 men, and that of the
Confederates at from 3,000 to 5,000.

THE PUBLIC DEBT

On the let day of July last, us appears by the books of the
Treasury, amounted to 1,740,610,449 don. 490. Probably
should the war continue for another yew, that amount may
be increased by not far from NO millions. Held as
it is for the most part by our own people, it
has become a substantial branch of national though
private property. For obvious reams., the more nearly
this property can be distributed among all the
people the better. To favour such general distri-
bution, greater inducements to become owner., might.
perhaps, with good effect, and without injury, be pre-
seated to persons of limited means. With this view I
suggest whether it might not be both expedient and coos-
peteut for Congress to provide that • limited amount of
mine future issue of public securities might be held by any
trini tide purchaser, exempt from taxation and from seizure
Cr debt under such restrictions soil limitation as might be
necessary to geoid against abuse of so important • pri-
vilege, tb it this would enable prudent persons to
set aside a small annuity against • possible day
of want. Pricings' like these would render the
iiOIIWMIOII of such securities to the amount limited
most desirable to every person of small means who might be
able to secure enough for the purpose. The great adorn•
tepee of citizens being creditors as well as debtors, with re-
lation to the public debt, is obvious. Men readily perceive
thet they cannot be much oppressed by a debt which they
owe to themselves. The public debt, on the Ist day of July
last, although somewhat exceeding the estimate of the Se-
cretary of the Treasury made to Congress ►t the commence-
ment of last session. falls short of the estimate of that officer
made in the preceding December, as tone probable amount
at the beginning of this year, by the sum of 3,993,079 dolt
Xic. This fact exhibit, a estisfactory condition and conduct
of the operations of the Treasury.

THE 1:6-DUNS.

It was recommended in my last annual message that our
Indian system be remodelled. Congress at its last session,
acting neon the rec •mmendation, did provide for reorganis-
ing the system in California, and it is believel that under
the pissent organisation the management of the Indians
there will be attended with reasonable enema.

Much yet remains to be doue to provide for the proper
government of the Indians in other parte of the coucasy to
render a secure for the advancing settler, and to provide
for the welfare of the Indians. The Secretary reiterates
his recommendations, and to them the attention of Congress
is invited.

THE SLAVERY AMENDMENTS.

At the last session of Congress a proposed amendment of
the Constitution abolishing slavery throughout the United
States passed the Senate, but failed, for leek of
the two-thirds vote, in the House of Represen-
tatives. Although the present is the same Congress,
and Dearly the same members, without questioning the wis-
dom or patriotism of those who stood in opposition, I yen-
tare to reoornmend the reconsideration and passage of the
measure at the present session. Of course the abstract
question is not changed, but an intervening election shows
almost eertsioty th►t the next Congress will pass the mea-
sure if this does not. Hence there is only a question of
time as to when the proposed amendment will go to the
Stetes for their action, and as it is to so g,. at all !MOM{
may we not agree that the sooner the better.

The most remarkable feature iu the military operations

every active forte of the enemy, and yet to detach a
well-appointed large army to move oa such an expedition.

the last maims of Congress has beneficially effected the
revenue, although sufficient time has not yet elapsed to
experience the full effect of several of the provisions of the
acts of Congress imposing hie:eased taxation. The receipts
during the year, from all sources, upon the basis of
warrant, signed by the Secretary of the Treasury,
including loans and the bedews is the Treasury on the
list day of July, 1863, were 1,394,796,007 dale. 62c., and
the aggregate disbursements upon the same basis were
1.293,U56.101 dole. 89c., leaving a balance in the Treasury
as shown by warrants of 96,7:0,90 dols. 73c. Deduct from
these amounts the amount of the principal of the public
debt redeemed, and the amount of issues in substitution
therefor, and the actual cash operations of the Treasury
were: Receipts, k 34,076.646 dole. 77c.; disbursements,

THE ATLP ILLEGRAPH.

I lea= with much satisfaction that the noble design of a
telegraphic communication betweeu the eastern coast
of America and Great Britain has been renewed, with full
expectation of its early accomplishineut. Thus it is lived
that with the return of donned.: peace, the country will
be able to resume, with energy and advantage, her former
high career of commerce and civilisation. Oar very popular
and estimable representative in E;ypt died io April last.
An unpleasant altercation which acme betweeu the tem-
porary incumbent of the office and the government of the
Pacha, resulted in a suspension of intercourse. The
evil was promptly corrected on the arrival of the
✓icceseor in the consulate, and our relation with
Egypt, as well as our relations with the Barbary
powers, are entirely satisfactory. The rebellion which
has long been flagrant it. Chins, has at last beau suppeceal
with the co-operating good offices of the G, veronnint and
of the other Western commercial States. TLe judicial con-
sular establishment has become very difficult and onerous,
and it will need legislative requisAion to adapt it tts the ex-
tension of our commerce, and to the more intimate inter-
course which has been iastituted with the government and
people of that vast empire. China seems to be accepting
with hearty good will the conventional laws which regulate
commercial and social intercourse among the Western
nations. Owing to the peculiar situation of Japan
and the anomalous form of its government the
action of that empire iu performing treaty stipulation is
inconstant and capricious. Nevertheless, good progress
has bees effected by the Western Powers moving with en-
lightened coecert. Our own pecuniary claims have been
allowed or put in comes of settlement, and the Inland Seek
has bees re-opened to commerce. Teen is reason also to
believe that these proceedings have increased rather than
diminished the frieuilthip of Japan towards the United
States.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 19, 1864.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S
MESSAGE.

The following is the Message addressed by Presi-
dent Lincoln to the Coogrese, which assembled at
Washington on the sth :

FELLOW Crriz or THE 81MATE AND HousE OF
REPRIOSICIMITCIB,
. . _

Again the blessings of health and abundant
harvests claim our profoundest gratitude to Almighty God.

harboured there, it has been thought proper to give notice
that after the expiration of mix months, the period coodi-
Venally stipulated in the existing arrangements with Great
Britain, the United States must hold themselves at liberty
to increase their naval armament upon the Lakes, if
they shall find that proceeding necessary. The condition
of the border will necessarily come into consideration
in connection with the question of continuing
or modifying the rights of transit from Canada through the
United State., am well as the regulation of imposts
which were temporarily established by the Reciprocity
Treaty of the sth of June, 1854. I desire, however, to be
understood, while making this statement, that the colonial
authorities are not deemed to be intentionally unjust or un-
friendly toward the United States, but on the contrary,
there is every reason 'to expect that with the approval of
the Imperial Government they will take the necessary mea-
sures to prevent new incursions across the border.

EVIGRATION.
The set paned at the last session for the

of emigration, has, u far as was possible, been put into
operation. It seems to need amendments which will enable
the officers of the government to prevent the practice of
frauds against the immigrants while on their way and on
their arrival in the ports, so as to secure them here a free
choice of avocatioos and places of settlemoot. A liberal dis-
position toward this great national policy is manifested by
most of the European States and ought to be reciprocated
on our pact by giving the immigrants effective national pro-
tection. Lenard oar immigrants as one of the principal
replenishing streams which are appointed by Providence to
repair the ravages of internal war, and its wastes of national
strength and health. All that is necessary is to secure the flow
of that stream in its fulness, and to that end the government
must in every way make it manifest that it neither needs
nor designs to impose involuntary military service upon

EFI33IISSION OF THE CO\FEI'•CIIATLS.

They can at any moment have peace simply by laying
down their arms sad submitting to the natiorial authority
under the constitution. After so much the tiovernment
could not, if it would, maintain war again,t them. The
loyal people would not sustain or allow it. If queatieee
should remain, we would adjust them by the peaceful unease
of legislation, confei,isce, courts. ae.l votes. tlueratmq
only in constitutional and lawful chase** some Ger-
taia and other possible questions Are and would be beyond
the executive power to adjust, as for teatimes, the adtmasion
of members into enemas, and whatever might require th•
appropriation of money.
The executive power itself would iv. greatly diminished
by the caseation of actual war. PAr.lon, aml remissions of
forfeiture. however. would still be within executive control.
In what spirit and temper this control would be exercised
can be fairly judged of ny the trot.

AGRICULTURAL HALL.

The Hippodrome and Circus Entertainments,
which were so successful lest year under the management
of Messrs. Strange and Pulleys, are to be repeated this year
loader the macageweet of Mr. Price, for many years the
proprietor of one of the principal circuses in Madrid. The
vast spans in the body of the Agricultural Hall is arranged,
as before, for steeple and Roman chariot races, and the
circus is built in the centre in such a way that it can be
removed in a few minutes. Fifteen or twenty thousand
persona can be accommodated in the hall, and the prices are
gaited to all dames.

The hest performance was given on tisturday night,
before a lame audience. Many of the riders are new
to England, but amongst them are 100111 old favourites.
Mr. Frank Pastor is still the "ate: rider " for "somersault
sets," and all schools of equestrianism are well represented.
The dosses are clever and amusing, there are some perform-
ing dogs, and there is a new lion tamer, Mr. Newcombe,
with a cage full of animals. The circus performances come
find, thee there I. a solo on the grandmas by Mr. Archer,
followed by the hippodrome meg and processions. After
the hippodrome tricks there is another solo on the organ,
and the performances close with a most spirited steeple-
chase. This last scene terminal's with what is called "the
mountain pass plop," a new arrangement of the "passage
de pont," in which the riders gallop up bridges and along
platforms on a level with the gallery. The band is strong,
and the managers are Herr Herzog, en excellent rider, and
Mr. John Henderson. During the present week there are
two representations daily.

ALHAMBRA.

This magnificent building, which Las passed

private rehearsal. It promise to be, even man thee it ever
wee, the finest theatre of varieties in London. Mr. Stranges
strong point is his ballet, and be has arrested a most
picturesque rock scene, down which march at least •
kaadred dancen dreamed in origami costume. The braid is

CHINA.

In its summary of news the °reeked China Mail
says :—" There is an unoonfirnsed statement that a
pretty large body of rebels is still in the field, but
of their doings nothing is known. We suppose
this report to be a surmise, and a very likely one,
based upon the fact that thousands of the Taepings
were dispersed, and are likely to have drawn toge-
ther into one band, with a view to continuing the
career of robber 3 and despotism they have so long
been accustomed to.

"The Anglo-Chirese force is to be disbanded.
the necessity for its maintenance being no longer
apparent. The Franco-Chinese force is ale" on the
eve of dissolution. We bear nothing reliable as to
the presence of the rebels near Settee ; and the
disbanding of the Ningpo and Shangbae disciplined
forces argues a conviction on the part of the Chinese
authorities that the rebellion is ' done for.'
" There is no intelligence of importance front

Mr. Benjamin Webster took his benefit at this

management. His short lesseeship of this house has been
marked by great spirit, and, if we except the production

many excellent pieces, and amongst them the two beet
really original plays—Mr. Palen.* l4iimpaoo's "Sybil*"
and Mr. Arthur Sketchley's " How Will they Get out of
lir—which the stage has seen for massy • day. Such
management is worthy of the warmest praise.
