The Message.

The Presidents Message needs no en-
dorsement. It's plain common sense
the truth Of its assel tions-the resistless
force of its logic-the candor of its spir-
il, are felt BY ALL Totally devoid of rhe-
torical ornament, pruned of everything
superfuous, its compact sentences are
launched with perfect directness of aim.
The exposition of the fallacy of the argu
ment by which secession seeks to justify
itself, is complete and unanswerable. The
purpose of the President is revealed in
the Recommend "that you give the legal
means for making this contest short
aud decisive one;" and all the great mo-
tives which animate the people in this
war, are summed up in the assertion that
at is struggle for maintaining in the
world that form and substance of Gov
eminent, whose leading object is to ele-
yate the condition of men, to lift artificial
weights from all shoulders, to clear the
paths of laudable pursuits, and to afford
ali all unfettered start and fair chance
in the race OF life.
The Message was issued in an extra
from this Office, aud promptly distributed
through good portion of the county.

Camp correspondence.

We have on hand large number Of
letters from the soldiers, some directed
to ourselves, and some Of which have
been handed i'll by others who have re-
ceived them.
Generally, they are made up Of items,
of news, which have since been publish
ed, and so are of no general interest.
One is from HENRY FiriELD, of this
place, and is dated, Washington, June
soth. Speaking of passing through Ba'-
timore, be says; Every man in the
regiment had his mtsket loaded and
half cooked, and felt determined to fight
like thunder, if necessary"
He speaks of the public buildings in
Washington, which he has visited and
says; "Drums are beating in every direc-
ton in the city and troops are arriving
by thousands. Almost all the men SEQ
in the streets are soldiers"
We hare a lengthy letter from A. p.
WILSON, of tho Prescott Guards, which
was received SO late, we cannot make
room for it. He depr, Gates any com
promise except total layin down Of arms
bv the rebels, and says: II nm in no
wise disappointed with camp life, but find
it much as expected. In short, We are
all prepared for anything except to see
the Constitution ttamped under foot
and the laws set at defiance. We want
no compromise with traitors"

On all the low ground, the rust was turn

much to the di satisfaction of the farmers.
The straw is short, while the heads are
fast making their appearance, indicating
an early harvest and light growth of
straw. Upland wheat looks quite well.
The corn has a healthy appearance,
though the farmers told me that it was
two weeks behind the time. In the big
woods l saw some nice fields of winter
grain, of good quality, which will soon
be ready for harvest. The corn is much
better than on the prairie, but the spring

Ihad almost forgotten to mention one
thing which to me is remarkable incl

Collins had one swarm die out entirely,
and another after staying in their hive

The Fourth at Prescott.

Inc number OF persons VINO gatnered
at Prescott to celebrate the Fourth, was
not as large as we could have wished,
perhaps not as large as we expe cted.-
A great many went to Hudson, and no
doubt many were kept away by the un
favora bic appearance of the weather.
Long before sunrise the Artillery Com
pany were stirring, and as the sun came
up, the cid Federal salute of thirteen
guns was given. AS early as 9 o'clock,
the teams began coming into town, gaily
decorated with branches of trces interwo-
ven with flowers. We ,ticed some with
bower constructed over the wagon,
forming an agreeable shade.
About 10 o'clock the citizens assem-
bled near the ferry to receive The Wash
ington County Rifles. This fine COM
pany, commanded by Capt. E. P. AYREs
came over to Prescott at the invitation
of our people. to engage with us in the
exercises of the day. The Prescott Ar
tillery gave them salute as they ap-
peared on the opposite shore, in their
gay uniform, and with colors flying,
drums beating and arms glistening in the
sun, they presented splendid appear
anee.
After the arrival of the Band the Mil
itary marched TO Wehrman's hall, where
the Procession was formed in the follow
ing order;
Franconia Brass Band.
German Fraternal Union, under the di-
rection of Marshall Sonderman.
Company A Prescott Light Artillery,
Capt. S. L. Hitler.
Washington Co. Rifles, Capt. Ayres.
Banner Badgers, Capt. J. Reimund.
Prescott City Cadets, Capt. Griffin.
The Procession was joined by the
Band of Hope, and the citizens generally
and under the direction of Marshall FL
field, marched to the grounds.
The Declaration was read, and the
oath of allegiance to the United States
was administered to the whole audience,
after which all enjoyed sociable pic mic
dinner.
After diuner, came the Grafton by S.
L. HITLER, which was q perfect success,
being listened to with interest, and call
ing forth the commentator Of all. " e
have not space to notice it fully, but it is
sufficient to say that it was worthy of
''the day We celebrate"
The Grafton being over, the Process
ion was again formed and marched back
10 Broad st. when the command "6reak
ranks. march," was obeyed with alacri-
ty.
At the firing of the sunset alute OF
thirty four guns. large crowd assembled
at the Liberty pole, and toasts were being
given and responded to, when the whole
company were amazed by the sudden ar
rival Oft pioneer scout, who having just
heard of the war, was fastening East to
offer his services to the Government
His speech was received enthusiastically
and when in conclusion he announced
himself Internationally for the Union
and the Ladies, the applause was tre-
mendous. This, with the dance at Peter
Bolts in the evening, wound up tho day

AS I came down through Michigan,
there were many soldiers leaving home.
All along the route, at nearly every sta
ton indeed, there was some Great I'm

or Corporal; and at rare intervals high
private was taking leave of his friends
usually these friends were pretty Young
ladies-and after these doughty Young
soldiers had embarked, away back thr' 3

the waving white handkercheifs and ev-
en- fancied l could hear their cheers
God bless the girls! If a young man
can't fight with firm heart after such
blessings as these young Michiganders re.
ceived, then truly he should never live to
get home. I had an interesting time
watching the young men and maidens at
their partings. I could sometimes tell
the relationship by the manner or the
family resemblance. Here a fair form
walked close beside manly one. Her
veil closely drawn, had a misty appear
ance, and she only clssped bis hand, and
tried to look in his face at parting. I,
seated up in the cars, played a minor

before folks! Of course not! She own

when he went to do battle for his coun-

Gov.

The war began where Char leston is-it should end where Charleston Uas The supreme Ruler can but smile upon the ef- forts of the law loving, government loving liber- ty loving people of this land in resisting the dis ruption of this Union. These gathering armies are instruments of his vengeance, to execute His judgments-they are his fails, wherewith on Gods great Southern threshing floor, He will pound rebellion for it's sins.'

 George Beach of Hartford has been supplanted in the presidency of the Merchants and Manu- facturers Bank of that city, because of his supposed sympathy with the southern rebellion, which IS attributed to his intimate relations with Isaac Toucey.
