THE MESSAGE AND COER

State Document with great deal
ofinterest, still we confess to many
doubts as to the views and mo-
ti>es of Mr.. Lincoln. With that
portion abiding to the rights of
Shareholders as recognized in the
constitution, and the duty of rem
dition devolving upon the North,
we are'fully satisfied. The princi-
pies of this government appear to
have inoculatcd our people as a
nation to such an extent as to be
born anew with them, and one of
these principle, is, 'that all gov
ernments derive their power from
the consent. of the governed."-
But if entire communities, or
States will not consent what is to
be done? Is coercion the remedy!
The right of Secession, peaceahle
or armed, we shall not discuss. -
Deny the right of either mode,
and the difficulty still remains. -
And if entire communities. or
states are to be coerced into sub
mission and acquiescence, in the
forms of the government; can it
be said of them that the powers OF
the government exercised over
them, is in any manner derived
from the consent of the govern
ed!
1.-THE forts Of the Federal Gov
eminent and the revenue at the
Southern ports is to be collected
by force, is it not a threat of war!
And when war begins, have we
any assurance where it will end!
Will it not assuredly defeat its
protested object--the restoration
and strengthening of this Union!
We are not only satisfied it will,
but believe the advisers of Mr..
Lincoln are also satisfied of this
fact. It seems to us that Mr..
Lincoln should see the difference
between mob, and several SOW
ereign and fully organized states
in a position of united, and if need
be, armed hostility to the Federal
Government. Time. and concil-
iation we arc satisfied will restore
all that is lost. Force destroys
at once all hope Of a peaceful So
luton of our national difficulties.
But, ask the friends of Mr. Lin
coin 'sshall a government submit
to rebels, and treat with thos
who threaten war! We concede
that this may-nay must be hui
initiating, but do we not all know
that wise governments have re-
tanned their power by concession
aud forbearance, while foDls have
lost their crowns and lives by OBJ
stinacy and pride! Let other, and
worse governments sheer at the
imbecility of ours, and wonder at
it's forbearance. Their govern
ments are based upon the princi-
pie, that if the supreme power in
the State can crush out the pop.
ular uprisings of the people, then
they may rule as of divine right.
10 such we have ever been, and
can afford to be a puzzle. Our
form of government they do not
understand, neither do they ap'
preciate the forbearance that
winks at the principle that all
just governments derive their pow
err from the consent Of the govern

THE COUNTRY FLOODED WITH COUN
TERFEIT BILLS.

By far the most extensive and success
full operation on the part of shrewd coun-
terfeiters, ever revealed, was brought to
light yesterday, by the Suffolk Bank, Bos-
ton. The plans of the operators were so
shrewdly laid. and the system of defraud-
ing the public so successfully managed, that
before it was discovered, the banks in
Troy. Ballston Spa, Saratoga Springs and
and West Troy, were defrauded to the ex-
tent of $4,000, by taking counterfeit S.
and $40 bills on the Prescott Bank, Low
ell Mass. 0 5lQ LcHus)
The first intimation that such counter
feits were in circulation was from tele-
gram to the Commercial Bank in this city
from the mutual Redemption Bank, Bos-
ton, to the effect to refuse all bills on that
bank. The Asserting House in this city
at the same time received dispatch from
the Suffolk Bank, Boston, to the same ef'
feet. This was followed this morning
by return of package Of $500 on this
bank, all Of which were stamped ''coun.
tcrfeit." Atlaaa eii 1a3 eeea
They are by far the most dangerous coun'
terfeits that have recently been put in
circulation. Most of these bills were re.

SAVE THE EYES NOw-.-A HINT.

Probably every body reads now daily
three times as much as he did year ago.
The excitment of the times keeps every
one reading the news, or reading to find
news. This is not to be deprecated, if it
gets the mass into the way of reading
more than formerly--provided the habit
be turned to good account after the pres
ent excitement is over; that is, if light
trashy literature does not come in to sup
ply the place of news. But we began this
item to offer single hint about saving
the eyesight, suggested by a call on
neighbor the other evening. Father,
mother, and four children, were around
table reading fine type newspaper by
single central bright light, the most
uncomfortable, most unhealthy position
that could be chosen, and the very worst
one for the eyes, To say nothing Of the
compression of the chest and lungs, and
the curving of the shoulders the bright
light fell directly into the eyes, contrac-
ting the pupils unnaturally, and tending
to produce weakness and inflammation by
the effort required to read with only a
few rays entering the eye. The very best
position for reading, and the only one
that should ever be adopted, is, to sit up
right, acith the back or side to the lamp
or acindoac, and let the light fall orer the
shoulder upon the paper or book. If there
are windows on the opposite side Of the
room, change the position so that the wall
or some dark object shall be IN front of
the eyes. The pupil of the eye then ex-
pands, and takes in complete picture Of
the page or letters. A much smaller
light will be required in the position re-
commended. Dr. Youman suggests the
following experiment "Sit with the face
to the light, and turn down the flame un-
till the printed letters become nearly in
vizible. Now interpose the hand or a
book to cut off the rays coming directly
to the eye, and the letters will become dis
tinctly visible again A strict adherence
to the simple rule we have set forth, would
restore half of the now weak eyes. ('rhe
other half would be mostly restored by
avoiding light too weak, and by keeping
the system open, that is, free from CO.'S
tiveness, which deteriorates the blood and
the system generality Book-keepers,
watchmakers, mechanics, and at least all
who work upon small objects should SO
arrange their desks or work benches that
the light shall come in from the side up
on their books or the objects they are at

droll incident, which happened on the
visit of Prince Napoleon to the House OF
Representatives. A tall and portly old
gentlemen approached his royal hlghness'
and. to the surprise of the party. made
no sign of bow, or even of lifting or re-
moving his hat, He remained some min
utes in conversation with the Prince. and
then walked away with equal unceremo-
niovsness, though the bare-headed Prince
bowed to him most deferentially as he
withdrew. The member is an old man,
of both noble and venerable look, and he
had not tho slightest thought Of any lack
of courtesy to the Prince. 1t was only
the fashion of 8 Old Kentucky; and the
Prince doubtless so considered the matter.

[From the Richmond Enquirer, Aug 81
Since the first fght near Manassas the
trains from that section have been busily
engaged in bringing Yankee prisoners to
Richmond. There are some twelve or tif-
teen hundred now here, including about
250 wounded. A large number were
brought down on Saturday, and yesterday
another batch arrived-among whom were
twenty-five regulars" some Zouaves from
New York city and Brooklyn, and some of
the Massachusetts and Maine volunteers,
and some other States. Two or three hun
dred more prisoners are expected here to-
day. The wounded prisoners are receiv-
ing the attention of our best physicians.
From the Richmond Examiner, Aug. s.
Twenty-one wounded Yankees arrived
from Manassas by train at 2 o'clock yes
terday, and the regular mail train, which
got in later in the evening, brought seven
ty-two unwoundcd prisoners of war, and
two parties who are said to be citizens of
Virginia, arrested on suspicion of treason.
One is preacher whose name We could
not learn. the other is a farmer named
Cook, who has been resident of Fairfax
County for the last ten years. We could
find out nothing as to the circumstances Of
their arrest. a'r. .H
The prisoners were marched to Ilar.
woods prison, between double file of sol.
diers, followed by molly and excited
crowd of men, women and children, ne.
groes and dogs. Two United States regu.
lars, clothed in their heavy blue great
coats, headed the queer looking brigade,
whilst his reverence and the farmer from
Fairfax brought up the rear. We under.
stand that the regulars wore these coats
through the great fight at Manassas IT, is
VIC think, accounts for their not running
sooner than they did. No man with ball
sense would attempt to fight in coat
weighing near twenty pounds, and with
tails that almost drag on the ground.

FURTHER ACCOUNTS OF THE SPRING
or FIELD BATTLE. ds
Capt Indest, who commanded a COM
pany Of skirmishers under Siegel at Spring
field. has arrived at St Louis, wounded.
He states that Siegels force reached the
rear of the secession camp about daybreak.
in time to hear Lyons first cannon, and
they plunged forward. taking the enemy
completely by surprise. They moved
down the rebels, driving them from their
camp. and what is almost im ,dibile, had
not suffered the loss of man after sharp
fight lasting half an hour. Subsequently
Siegel's cannon moved down two columns
of the enemy, piling them in heaps. The
carnage was dreadful. Onward the Sd
and 9Th regiments, with two or three
pieces, continued to advance, driving the
enemy on Lyon. Unfortunately they
were subjected to murderous cross fire
on the Springfield road, near prairie,
the enemy playing fifteen or twenty pieces
with telling effect on us. A perfect hail
of grape and shell was poured in upon us.
A shot from their cannon killed five of
our artillery-men and shattered one of our
pieces. We were there about an hour try
ing to push back the enemy, and having
driven them about mile and a half from
the point where we first opened our fire,
concluded to retire. The captains shir-
mishers captured fifty prisoners, thirty
horses, and loaded two wagons with rifles,
all of which were safely brought off, The
news Of Lyons fall, and the return Of the
forces operating under him to Springfield,
was not learned by Siegcl's men until the
latter were on the road to the above place,
showing how little is generally known,

ferent corps, of the operations of the other
