Secretary Chase,

Following high praise to Secretary Chase !:
1.-THE columns Of This journal have re.
corded the financial transactions of the
Governments OF the Old World as well AS
the New for a period Of half a century,
We feel pride in declaring that we can
tind no parallel in the history OF any Eu.
ropean Government, and certainly not in
our own, OF transactions OF such magni.
tude carried TO successful termination by
any financial Minister, surrounded as Mr..
Chase has been, by a gigantic rebellion
and civil war at home and an almost en-
tire absence OF sympathy from abroad.
at is true. as we learn, that several
propositions from abroad. having refer.
ence TO an alleged desire OF the people OF
Europe to participate in this loan, and va.
rlous proposals for the disposition OF large
sums abroad have been received, all Of
which have been respectfully declined.
"To the financial skill of Secretary
Chase and the large and comprehensive
patriotism Of the Bank Managers of the
North are we Indebted for our continued
ability to meet promptly, in coin or Its
equivalent.the extraordinary demands up
on the Treasury. And all will admit that
the integrity as also the energy with
which the affairs OF The Treasury Depart
ment have been administered, notwith-
standing the overwhelming duties de.
Volved upon il, have justly inspired that
confidence in its management which has
ELECTED the generous and patriotic response
OF the whole people, when appealed 10 by
The Secretary for financial support"
This is remarkably high praise but we
believe it is strictly deserved. Certainly
1t but expresses The universal opinion.

The Presidents 8 Message.

The Presidents Message was received
TOO late for insertion in this issue. We
have only room for brief statement OF
what it declares TO be the policy OF the
President 10 &eahog with the Rebellion :
Mr.. Lincoln says that in the policy
adopted toward the insurgents he has con-
fined himself, so lar as possible, to the
enactments OF Congress, not having trans
ceoded them. He has made the reslora-
Tion Of the Union the primary work 10 be
attended 10, leaving many minor matters
TO be debated by the Nationa! Legislature.
What to do with the negroes, is OF course
n great question connected with the war.
Mr.. Lincoln declares in favor of coloniziug
them in some congenial climate. He ad-
vocaes no general emancipation, but his
language clearly implies that he consid-
ers all slaves belonging TO rebel masters,
who are in any way employed 10 aid the
rebellion. as liable TO coufi>cation. OF
these, and of those who have escaped to
our lines, we have now a great number
80 many that something must be done
with them. 1t is recommended that SUI
ficent territory be acquired on which TO
colonize these as also tree colored persons.
'uaving pracl:ced the acquisition of ter
ritory for fifty years, il is too lalc to dis
cuss its conslituIionality. He considers
that this is case OF absolute necessity, il
we would perpetuate our Government.

Abolition in Western Virginia.

sideration in the State Convention of West
ern Virginia, or Kauawba, now in session a
Wheeling:
Whereas, Negro Slavery is The origin
and foundation OF our national troubles

our Government; and whereas, slavery
is incompatible with the Word Of God and
detrimental to the interests of a free peo-
pie, as well rs wrong to the slaves them

RESOLVED. That the Convention inquire
into the expediency Of making the pro-
posed new Stale free State, and that
provision be inserted for the gradual eman-

their approval or rejection. Referred to

re- The Richmond Examiner is very
severe on General Lee because he can't
drive Rosencrans out OF Virginia. Floyd
and Wise both made the same effort, yet
were equally unsuccessful, but Lee is
more hercely attacked by the Examiner
becausc more was expected from him, and
he is accused OF making elaborate procla
nations, telling timber, and marching
columns with great pomp Tor no other
purpose than TO take good look at the
enemy's position, while Rosencrans was
using his legs and striking blow where
he was not expected. That is very i'm.

Mason and slidell Settling Down.

The Boston Trapeller, speaking OF tho
prisoners 10 Fort Warren, says;
"Slidell and Mason have comfortable
quarters. which they share with their
secretaries. as they have funds, they
have purchased various articles for their
convenience not provided by The Govern
ment, and as the prospect is that they are
likely TO remain here some time, their
money has been udciousIy used. MIR.
Mason, who wore an air Of nonchalance
on Sunday, when taken to the Fort, has
apparently found the place less agreeable
than he anticipated. Perhaps the eli.
male does not agree with him, or it may
be that he means to be exclusive, bui it is
remarked among the prisoners, that lie
keeps himself very close to his room. He
appears sad, and. not in very good humor.
On the other hand Slidel is Frightening
up, and is more cheerful. lie vehtured
out Of doors in the storm on Monday, but
he is Of Northern birth, and thus the oil
mate may not effect him SO much as
Others.
The "ambassadors" are allowed to con
verse freely with other political prisoners,
but we doubt whether their conversation
is very edilying, or the story OF their ex.
periences very cheering. Mr.. Morehead,
oi Kentucky, is less bitter in his denunci.
aIions Of yankees" Than heretofore, and
now appears in his original character as a
fine old Kentucky gentleman. Marshal
Kane, Of Baltimore, still sports his long
boots and smoking cap. Mr. Faulkner, of
Virginia, as heretofore, remains quiet,
taking bis confinement with the air OF a
philosopher.
