Extract from the report Of the ecretary
OF the Navy.

"In the coastwise and boeksding duties Of
the navy, it has been not untrequent that iugi-
tives from insurrectionary places have sought
our ships for refuge and protection, and our
naval commanders have applied to me for in
struction as to the proper disposition which
should be made OF such refugees. My answer
has been, that, if insurgents, they should be
handed over to the custody of the Government;
but If, on the contrary, they were free from
any voluntary participation in the rebellion,
and sought the shelter and protection of our
flag, then they should be cared for, and EN-
ployed in some useful manner. and might be
enlisted to serve on our phblc vessels, or in
our navy yards, receiving wages for their labor.
If such employment could not be furnished to
all by the Navy, they might be referred to the
army, aud if no employment could be found
for them in the public service, they shoIld br
allowed to proceed freely and peaceably, with
out restraint, to seek livelihood in any loyal
portion OF the country. This have considered
to be the whole required duty, in the premises,
OF our naval officers"

It will contain all the original matter of the

II will contain all the news of the day, foreign

receive special attention, and, in all respects,
the effort will be made to establish the charac-

Newspaper.
Washington being now the central point Of
the current military operations, great attention
will be paid to furnishing the readers Of the

with dccurde, accounts of the progress of the
In politics, tho paper will be Republican, sus.
tanning the Administration Of Mr.. Lincoln, but
disclaiming, however, any pretension to be the
organ Of the President.
The is no other Republican paper in the Dis.
trict of Columbia, or in the vicinity of it, and
II 10 believed that recent events have opened to
such a paper an important sphere of useful
effort. The time has come, when the actual
administration Of the Government upon Repub

tati0ns which have made those principles 30
distasteful to the South.
But 1t is not only here, and in this vicinity,
that the projectors Of the National Republican
hope to make 1t useful. To the whole country
they offer journal which will discuss national
politics from a national standpoint, and which
will never be swerved from patriotic duty by
any overpOwering pressure OF local interest.

A REMARKABLE STATEMENr'--We find this
remarkable paragraph ia the editorial cob
umns Of the Rochester Union:
This great and long-sta0ding conspiracy
was well known 10 its outlines to Mr.. Blu.
chanan himself. We heard it from his own
lips. previous to his entering upon the du-
ties Of the Presidency, that he had been re.
liably informed 1--WE think he said by Gov.
Wise,) that the officers Of the army and ma
w bad been polled on the question whether
in case of rupture between the two sec
tions Of the Union, they would respectively
go with the North or the South; and that
nearly every Southern man answered be
would adhere to the section that gave him
birth. Here we have proof that not only
that this conspiracy had assumed itspresent
determinate shape Eve years ago, and only
waited for opportunity; but that Mr.. Bu-
cbanan was perfectly well aware Of the fact
at the very time when he took SINE Of the
leaders into his Cabinet; aud when he was
passiVey aiding Cobb, Floyd, Thompson,
and TOucey, in their plans 10 cripple the
Federal Government, aud assure the success
Of the rebellion.

GENERAL PATTERSON To HIS TRoOPs.-
General Patterson, in command of the De-
partment of Pennsylvania, has issued an
address to his men, which reads thus:
To the United States troops Of this De,
partment:-The restraint which has neces.
ssrily been imposed upon you, impatient to
overcome those who have raised their par
ricidal hands against our country, is about
To be- removed. You will soon meet the TO-
surgents
;You are not the aggressors. A turbulent
faction, misled by ambitious rulers, ia time
Of profound peace aud national prosperity,
have occupied your forts and turned the
guns against you; have seized your arsen-
ais aud armories aud appropriated to them
selves Government supplies; have arrested
aud held prisoners your companions march
ing to their homes under State pledge OF Sc
curity, aud have captured vessels and pro-
visions voluntarily assured by State legisla-
tiou from molestation, and now seek to per-
petuate reign of terror over loyal cit
izens.
They have invaded loyal State and en-
trenched themselves within its boundaries
ia defiance of its constituted authorities.
You are going on American soil To sus-
tain the civil power, TO relieve the oppressed
and to retake that which is unlawfully
held.
You must bear in mind you are going for
the good of the whole country, and that,
while it is your duty to punish sedition, you
must protect the loyal, aud, should occasion
offer, at once suppress servile insuTrection.
Success will crown your efforts; CRATE
ful country and happy people will reward
you.
