The Rebels in the vicinity of Alexandria per-
formed one Of their Enthusiastically brave ex-
plots on Sunday night. Under cover of the
darkness, q party of them made dash at the
outpOsts Of the 18th New-York Regiment and
fired their muskets. Their trepidatiOn was so
great, however, that the shots passed over the
heads Of our men. When this startling feat had
been accomplished the Rebels fled prOmiscuously,
hardly waiting to be pursued.

1t appears that the Naval Brigade is not ae-

The enterprise has been unfortunate in every
way. The Secretary Of War may have been de-
cei'ed with regard to the number and condition
u the men; it would seem, though, that he
should not be liable to mistakes of this sort. A
Sery simple step for him TO have taken would
pave been to commission some competent officer
70 inspect the Brigade before it was allowed to
tesve New-YOrk. This precaulion would have
e'olosd many unpleasant things, and it seems
ptrsnge that it was not taken.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents message is commercially
short but il contains much more than scme
documents OF the kind that were twice or
three times as long. lie has not dee med it
necessary TO inlerpolate stump speech in the
message, nor introduce discussions ior
which there was no occasion in such an adj
dress TO congress The rr' sident deals with
the business connected with the executive de-
partment of the government
We do not propose, at present I" speak oI
this document further than to express our sat
istaction with it, and commend 1t 10 the caie-
full attention of our readers. II is so short that
those who think themselves in hurry can
find time to read ii, and, in the present condi-
tion of the country, no mah should tail to make
himself familiar with the president 5 statement
OF the existing position OF affairs
We infer from what the NJ. ssage says OF our
foreign relations, that something more might
be told of correspondence and discussion with
other governments, Of which the public has
not yet heard. Still there is no reason to sup
pose that there is any thing unusual in this
respect, or, at least, any thing that should create
socitude. He sees no reason why we should
not recognize the governments of Hayli and Lii
IBERIA, but, not wishing TO take the lead i'll the
matter of inaugurating a novel policy, he re-
ferS the matter to congress. What he says of
the vacancies on the bench of the supreme
court will be read with interest, and there are
other things in the message that will not fail
to engage attention.
But without further specification, we shall,
for the present, content ourselves with urging
all to read it carefully. Ii came from Wash
ington by telegraph, and therefore may not he
quite free from verbal inaccuracies. We
have taken considerable pains TO give it 10
our readers in as perfect form as possible.

CITY AND COUNTY

Meeting I'm Aid of the Fifteenth Regiment.
There was a large assemblage Of citizens at
the City Hall, last evening to listen to Rev.
Mr.. Scandlin and others, who were to speak
in aid of the recruiting iUr the gallant fifteenth.
His honor Mayor Davis presided, who, after
appropriate remarks, introduced Mr. Scandlin,
who spoke for an hour in an earnest and elo-
quent manner, appealing TO the patriotism of
the citizens OF Worcester TO respond worthily
TO the call which is now made upon them
lie drew many graphic pictures of scenes and
incidents IN the late fight at which our officers
and men bore themselves so bravely against
such terrible odds. The men seemed TO have
perfect confidence in their officers, and the
officers perfect reliance on their men. While
the banners Of other regiments were trailed in
the dust, or destroyed, to prevent their cap
ture, the coors OF the fifteenth, given to them
by the ladies OF Worcester, were sacredly
and safely guarded and borne unsullied from
the field amid the fire OF bullets, in fulfl.ment
OF the pledge made by Col. Devens on receiv-
ing it. He concluded by Submitting The hnn"'
Of the regiment TO the men Of Worcester
county, who sent them TO the field, trusting
the city would be equal 70 the country towns
IN which lie had spoken, in zeal aud efforts for
the good cause.
Judge Chapin was then introduced, and
made a spirited and stirring appeal to the
young men TO rally again al the call of their
country Like the mayor, lie had been almost
tempted to enter himself into Ihe service. But
it was in -lhe order OF Providence tor the young
and the vigorous to lead in service OF this kind,
while it was the duty Of those who remained
behind to aid them in every possible manner.
In this struggle two modes Of civilization, TO.
tally irreconcilabe and as impossible to be
mixed as oil and water, were striving for the
mastery-iJ was face 10 face conflict of free
dom with slavery, and one or the other must
prevail universally-one or the other must be
