THE PREsIDENT's MESSAGE.

At no previous period in our nations history
has n communication from the Executive been
looked for with so much anxious interest as that
which awaited the reception of President Lin
coins Message to Congress, convened in extra
ordinary session on the 4th inst. We give our
readers the document in full as it was received
by telegraph, but it is hardly necessary to OBJ
serve that it has suffered not little in its trans
mission. 1t is, however, nearly enough correct
to exhibit the intentions of the administration,
and to satisfy every one who is heartily in favor
of prosecuting the war unit. rebellion is crush
ed out and the authority of the general govern
ment acknowledged from the Potomac to the
Rio Grande.
This message is not set in cunningly devised
phrases and skillfuiy rounded periods. 1t will
hardly pass as a specimen of fine writing. tits
terse, direct, vigorous and earnest, as becomes
the subject and the occasion. Unlike the pro-
lixity of many similar documents, this message
eschews circumocuton and goes straight to the
work. 1t gushes out from the earnest heart of
its patriotic author and goes straight to the
hearts Of the patriotic masses. Utterly devoid
of rhetorical establishment and official reserve
its statements and points will be comprehended
and its arguments appreciated by every rational
mind.
The keynote Of the message is the assertion
that the Union must be preserved in its integri-
ty at all hazards and at any cost. The call for
-Four Hundred Thousand Men and -Four Hun
bred Millions of Dollars at once dispels all the
illusions of any compromise with treason, and
is ample assurance that the Constitution and
the Laws will be maintained and enforced with
the entire poser at the command of the gov
ernment. Large and unprecedented as are
these acquisitions they will be willingly respond
ed to by both Congress and the people

pursued by the Executive from the day of inau-

guration to the present time, as set forth in the
message, will satisfy our own country and the
world at large that the very existence of our
national government depended upon the putting
down Of this rebellion at any sacr flee. And
the manner in which the people have responded
to this determination will go far convince for
egn nations that a republic is by no means the
weakest of governments.
The suspension of the writ of haLeas corpus
is alluded to and fully justified as a military ne
cessiiy. All the sophistry displayed by the
Chief Justice in his extended opinion in the
Merriman case is swept away by the clear and
strong common-sense views expressed By tn C
President
The country will hail with JOY the Presidents
assurance that our foreign relations are uni
formly on satisfactory footing. His state
ment that "the sovereignty and rights of the
Omitted States are now everywhere practically
respected by foreign powers, and a general
sympathy with the country is manifested
throughout the civilized world" ought to dis
sipate all uneasiness on the score of our sea-
board dcfenscs. We have on hand the simple
business of crushing out the great rebellion
and we trust every care will be taken that it be
not complicated with any other.
On the whole this message is marvel Of
clear, unadorned, simple statement. we dc
not see well how it could have been abbreyiat-
Instead of initiating the interminable special
peadings which have so dsfgured many Of the
messages of later years, it more nearly resem
bes the plain and concise statements that were
submitted to Congress by the earlier Presidents
l, is in every way just such a document as We
should have expected from a man of Mr.. Lin
coins personal history-honest, sensible, prac
teal. As such it will be received by the poo
pie, and its reception will be made all the mort
hearty and joyous that it furnishes indubitabl'
proof that this war is not to close until the reb
els are reduced to unconditional submission.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
g. TDrN..pr.ny Til, . 1901


am directed by the Communicated Chief TO
announce that the Sd Regiment of Vermont
Volunteers, which has been mustered into en-
campment at St. Johnsbury, will, during the
present week, be uniformed and furnished with
camp equipage, tents, army wagons, ambulance
es, horses, &C., awaiting the orders of the Sec
Rotary of War to furnish it with arms and move
it forward.
Information from the Ordinance Department
at Washington has been communicated to the
Governor, that acquisitions of the U. S. mus
tering officers for arms. required for troops ac-
tually mustered into the U. S. service, will be
filed" Until, therefore, such l. s. mastering
officer shall have been sent to inspect this Reg
iment, 10 arms can be obtained for it from any
L. S. Arsenal and all efforts of the Executive
to purchase suitable arms elsewhere, have as
yet proved unavailing, but further efforts are be-
ing made
The Secretary of War has been Informed that
the Regiment is fully equipped and furnished as
above stated, and is waiting to be inspected,
armed and ordered forward Meantime it is
satisfactory to know that the men are daily i'm
proving in military knowledge and drill, under
the command of their regimental and company
officers.
The announcement is made for the citizens of
this State, who are entitled to know why this
Regiment should be delayed from marching to
the seat of war.
BY order of the Commander.in-C Chief.

Senatorial and County ticket of last year, with
the exception of Senator Peck, who was placed
upon the Bench last fall. In his stead the Hon.

mated the senatorial ticket for this year is
cordingly as follows: J. II. Woodward Of
Wesltord, Elmer Beecher of IIinesburgh, Geo
f. Edmunds of Burlington. Mr.. Edmunds is
a man of unques'ioned ability and Of large ex-
perience in legislative matters, but as Chitten-

Times, for mo party" nominations We wonder
how it happened that a straight Republican
ticket was nominated with SO much unanimity
We hail the event as indicative of returning
reason.

Arrest Of U. s. Senator Green.
Sowerd, the man who assassinated Captain
Howell at Canton, Mo-, OH the 4th inst, was
arrested The same day by the German Home
Guard, who was persuaded 10y Senator Green
to give him in charge Of a constable, to be va
ken to Monticello; Green's intention being, 1t
is said, to release him after the troops left
town. They were met on the way BY Union
company from Lagrange county, who had
learned of Green's intention. The prisoner
was taken by them from the constable, and re-
turned to Canton. Green fed, and although
hotly pursued, escaped by leaving bis horse and
running into the woods. Two more companies
of Col. Pamer's regiment started for Canton
Thursday night. A party of about 90 federal
troops, under command of ex-Goy- Wood OF
Illinois, who were in pursuit of Green, resurn-
ed to Canton Thursday, having captured him
about 20 miles on the road to Monticello. Ike
was placed for safe-keeping in the college buihl-
ing which Col. Palmer is using as barracks fog

Various exciting rumors and extravag'snt re-
ports concerning battle of great magnitude
between Gen. Patterson and Gen. Johnston, at
Martinsburg, prevailed at Washington, SEuday
evening. The War Department, however, had
no information which would authorize these
stories, and they were considered improbable
1t is known that Gen. Johnston has been rsvn-
forced, his army now consisting of 5000 or
10000 infantry, 600 cavalry, and about ~
pieces of artillery. Gen. Patterson has sens
for reenforcements, and the New York 18th ard.
9th left Washington on Sunday afternoon to gu
to him. To-day, it is expected, that his force
will he still further increased by Col. Stones
command. Patterson has now about 1000
men and 20 pieces of artillery. Some uneasi-
ness was caused at Washington by the fact that
the communication with the Department has
been interrupted within the past three days.

Battle Of Falling Waters.

On the morning of July 2nd Gen. Patterson
crossed the Potomac from Wiiamsport and on
the same day, while at a farm at Falling Waters
about four and a half miles from Martinsburg,
Virginia, he encountered and routed a large
body Of rebels, numbering from 5000 to COCO.
They were engaged by Col. Perkins battery,
the ID Cavalry, the Philadelphia City Troop,
MeMullen's Rangers, the 18th Pennsylvania
Regiment, aid the Wisconsin Regiment. The
fight commenced very suddenly, and was car
ried on with remarkable bravery by our troops.
After an hours engagement, the enemy all the
time retreatng slowly, broke and fed with
precipitation. Their loss is variously estimated,
but appears to have been not far from one hun
dred. On our side three men were killed and
about ten wounded.
The victorious general passed on in pursuit
of the enemy, and on the 4th passed through
Mariinsburg. The people generally welcomed
the arrival of the federal forces.
An Advance to be Made.
From all indications IA grand advance into
Virginia in the direction of Richmond has set
in, and as the movements of the troops pro-
crosses the plan of the campaign begins to APP
pear. A force of from 10000 to $4,000 men
Is now at the command of Gen, Mcdowell, and
his army will advance in three divisions, the
right led by Gen. Tyler of Connecticut, the
center by Col. Hunter, and the left by Col.
lleinzelman, the whole by Gen. Mcdowell,
leaving reserve corps Of 10000. Tie move
ment is expected to commence when Patterson
and McClellan's division have approached suf-
fciently from the north and west to cooperate
| in the general plan. Patterson's division is at
/ Martinsburg, and the rebels under Gen. Johns
/ ton have retreated TO Winchester. Mcclellan
/ has sent detachment to reopen communication
| with eastern tennessee, now INTERRUPTED by a
small rebel force, while his main body is NOV
ing to form junction with Gen. Patterson's
command. Beauregara is advancing his line
towards Alexandria and Fairfax Court House,
probably with the intention to intercept the adj
vance Of Gen. Mcdowell long enough to cover
the retreat OF Johnston and prevent his force
from being outhanked before they reach Manas-
sas Junction. The only resistance expected by
