The PresIdent;. message.

A Washington dispatch of the 10th says
The President is making good progress
with his Message. 1t will take the highest
ground in favor of prosecuting the war with
the utmost vigor, and of finishing it by
Winter if that be possible. To make il
possible, he will recommend a call for 500,
900 men, and an appropriation sufficient to
cover all necessary expenditure at cost of
5000, 100000. The Governors of all the
Free States have been written to on this
subject, and have, with only two exceptions,
responded heartily, so that the President,
in making these recommendations, feels
that he is backed by the people, speaking
through their constitutional authorities
There can be no doubt that Congress will
pass bills in conformity with these Sugges-
tions, both to increase the army and 10
supply funds for all noedful purposes.
The President is backed in his recommenda-
tions to Congress by all the loyal State govern
ments.

wholesome and Patriotic.

We commend the following, from For
ney's Press, to those carpers among the
Democratic press who are just now occupy
ing themselves almost exclusively in abus-
ing the President and endeayoriDg to en-
barrass the Administration:
preceive that some of the Breckenridge
papers, conducted by men who are at heart
inimical 10 the country, and who should be
visited by the sternest popular reprobation,
are attempting to make point against the
Administration by charging that the Presi-
dent has transended his powers in calling
armies into the field, establishing blockades,
and directing our generals to suspend the
writ of hd6eas corpus. These malcontents
are the only persons left in the loyal States
who cling to the robber fortunes of JEFF
Davis and his associates. Their mission is,
if possible, to divide the people by attack
undone by them to accomplish this purpose,
and they cannot be too closely watched
But whatever may result, the action of Con-
gress may be readily anticipated. Not only
will the President be heartily sustained
but every step he has taken will be enthus-
hastily endorsed. l do not believe there
viii be any attempt at party movement in
either house beyond the displacement Of
such Seeessionists as have been permitted
to remain in position. Democrats, who
have heretofore antagonized the republi-
cans, will now be found on the side of the
General Government As an instance Of
the spirit that animates patriotic men Of
the late Democratic organization, it is worth
stating that Mr.. Perry, the successor of Mr..
Speaker Pennington, elected last year in
the Newark New Jersey district, who Wis
tied Washington few days ago, declared
bis determination TO support Mr.. Lincoln
and bis Cabinet; and, at the same time,
expressed hope that nothing would be
done 10 prevent men likshiHsalffrom unit
ing with men Of all other M the same
cause. And in conversation, some even
iugs since, with several members Of the Cab
met, was struck with the hberality and
earnestness with which they argued in favor
Of the reoognation Of well known Demo-
Gratis, who were ready TO sustain the meas
ures necessary for the prosecution of the
wal, and the punishment Of the traitors.

The Difference Between Them and Us.

The Difference Between Them and Us.
The Charleston Mercury thus demands
the summary jailing of all Northern men in
the Southern Confederacy:
How is it possible to keep our movements
or our plans to ourselves, with tens of thou
sands of men within the Confederate States
wandering all about, who arc not citizens
of any of them? The thing is ridiculous
The man who is not citizen, either by
birth or adoption, of any of the Confeder'
ate States, and who is citizen of the bel
ligerent power, should be in the Jail. 1t is
his proper place. He is an enemy by law,
birth, and nature, and right. He is pris-
oner, by the laws of common sense.
While the Confederate traitors are fight
ing against our Government, and putting
every one of its peaceful citizens among
them in Jail, we are literally extending
protection and even courtesy to every
Southemer who comes among us, and let
ting their soldiers taken in arms go free.

A Formidable war Vessel.

We had the pleasure of an interview
yesterday, with Hon. J. M. Ashley, of the
Toledo District who stopped few hours
in our city, on his way to Cincinnati. Gen
Ashley exhibited to us the drawings and
plans of bis shot-proof and .shell-proof gun
boat, with which he proposed some months
ago to reinforce Fort Sumter. He now
takes with him to Gen. Mcclellan at Gin
cinnati, letters from high military and sci
entific authorities, endorsing the feasibility
of his plan, and commencing it to the at
tention of the General, as a formidable ad
junct or pioneer of any military expeditions
that may be sent by water down the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers. The gun-boat or
floating battery is designed to precedc the
transport steamers with the main body Of
troops, and being shot-proofit can approach
as near as may be necessary for effective
operations against the river towns, fortifica
tions, or batteries, and clear them of tho
enemy with its heavy cannonade-thu,
opening the way for tho safe landing of the
rear guard, which will quietly take posses
sion Of, and garrison the captured points
which can in turn be made the basis o
offensive operations in the surrounding
country.
Gen. Ashley's plans have been examin
ed by number of our most intelligent and
scientific citizens, and all concur in the
opinion that they arc completely adapted
to the purpose of bombardment at any
range, long or short.
