VI lu)sneu form, went 10 the printer to'ua!
The residue awaits, in manuscript, final de
cisiOn upon some important points before ever
a first proof Of it can be taken. The estimates
fOr example, Of men and money required during
/ the next fiscal year have not been defnityely
determined but there is reason to believe thai
of the first not far from 700 900 in all, and o
the second not far from 00,000,0O0 vii
be called for. 1t is certain that the
Message will be in tone full Of cheer nnC
vigor. The President far from perceiyine
any reasons TO despair of the Republic, OF
seeing any clouds in the European horizon, viii
declare hat he finds in the past the best augure'
for the future, and that he is determined to
have them fulfilled if an Incorporating and
energetic prosecution Of the war eau effect it,.
Knowing that while the people grudge neither
blood nor treasure, if prudentiy invested, they
are unwilling that either be wasted, the Presi-
dent will advise Congress, and indeed all the
departments of the Government, TO preserve
the just medium between a wise economy aud
prudent energy. AS whole, the Message
will be read with satisfaction by all loyal men,
and it VIII inspire new faith in the Republic,
the Government, and our speedy triumph over
the rebellion. INDUCING but slightly in argu-
ment, and not at oil in buncombe, it will be
plain. business-like document Of unusually short
length.

three States being the mHans-ths s"rrAnasr of
the three ffths black representation being the
condition precedent, as far as Maryland Is con-

Pennsylvania and east By the Blue Ridge.
MARYLAND is bounded west by the Blue Ridge,
