No men living are more worthy to
be trusted than those who toll up or
on from poverty-none less inclined
to take or touch aught which they
have not earned. Let them beware OF
surrendering political power which
they already possess, and which, if
surrendered, will surely be used to
close the door Of advancement against
such as they, and fix new disabilities
and burdens upon them till all of liber-
ty shall be lost. From the first taking
of the national census to the last are

lation at the end Of the period eight
times a. great % it was at the begin.
ming. The increase Of those other
things which men deem desirable has
even been greater. We have thus at
one view what the popular principle
applied to government through the
machinery of the States and the Union
has produced in a given time and also
what, If firmly maintained, it promises
for the future. There are already
among us those who, if the Union be
preserved, will live to see it contain
100000, 900. The struggle of today
is not altogether for to-day, it is for a
vast future also. With firm reliance
on Providence, all the more firmly and
earnestly let US proceed in the great
task which events have devolved upon
Us. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Report Of the Secretary Of War.

The chief points Of this document
are as follows: He states the numer-
ical force of the army to be 660,97l,
Of which 64O,631 arc volunteer, and
20,334 are regulars. He estimates
that the aggregate force might, should
exigencies require it, be increased to
8, 100000. He recommends the en-.
largement of the national armory at
Springfield, Mass, to an extent that
will enable it to supply the Govern
with all the small arms it shall need in
the future. He also recommends the
establishment, at some convenient
place, of a national armory for the
manufacture of cannon. He recon-
mends permanent reorganization of
the militia, and that in war the dis
tinction between volunteers and regu.
lars be abolished. He recommends
defensive works on the sea coast and
lakes. The enlistments in the regu.
lar army have been slower than it was
anticipated they would be. The Gov
ernment have assured the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company a force
sufficient to protect them in repairing
their road. With view to the future
safety of the Federal Capital, it is rec
commended that the boundaries of Del
aware, Maryland and Virginia be re-
constructed. In this connection the
Secretary thinks that Maryland, in
consideration of the acquisition Of a
large territory, should amend her con-
stitution so that her basis of represent
tation would be only whites. This
would be an exception to the general
rule. In all the States negroes are
basis of representation. He recon-
mcnds that the District of Columbia
be restored to its original boundaries.
He treats the question Of the DISPOSE
ton to be made of "contrabands at
considerable length, and concludes
that in any event they cannot be re-
turned to their rebel masters.

ST.. LOUIS, MISSOURI, May l5.-,Thc
case of Captain Mcdonald came up before
Judge Treat th;s morning. The VIII!
was served Oh General Harvey, who answer,
Ell in writing. in effect that the person Of
Captain Mcdonald, not being ut the arse
nal, nor within reach of the officers of the
court, could not be produced; that he depFor-
ed, as much us any one, the state of things
existing here, but was bound to maintain
the higher law of the government over all
and every effort at rebellion; that Captain
Med maid was taken prisoner while lending
his countenance 10 the support OF an assem-
blage of meu, whose every act, move and
design was in opposition to the government
of the United States, that he doubted, wheth-
OF, if Captain Mcdonald was still held at the
arsenal, he would be justified in delivering
him up, upon the demand that had been
made upon him; that the whole matter had
been referred to the authorities at Washing
ton, and that he shonld await and endeavur
strictly to carry out the INSTRUCTIONS he
might receive in relation thereto.
Uriel Wright, one of the counsel for Nc
Donald, entered demurrer, and Judge Treat
postponed the matter till the regular session
of tue court on Monday next, as the question
presented is one of grave Importance, and
one, ifdecded in chambers, might reopen the
whole case hereafter.
