GOV. LETCHER,S MESSAGE.


His Plan OF Adjusting Our Federal
Relations, and His Remarks UpSn
tne ranks and the Financial Policy
OF the State.
The Richmond papers by yesterdays
mails are loaded with the long message of
Gov. Letcher to the Legislature, which
met on Monday last.
Weextract his proposition for the ad-
j"stment of the present political Difficult
ties of the-country, and also wha: he says
under the head of "Banks.n These are
the two points, and about the only two,
that one reader in huadrel would look
into, even if we took up our whole paper
with the Message.i
WHAT HE TnITKs ls SEcEssKny To rr Doxr
TO MEET THE POLITICAL CRISIS.
what, them is necessary to sbea done?-
Tue Northern States must strike from
tt'Stt. 7t't~ terPoolso ti.Sis-p1rsUIIJt LIBERTY
bills, and fulfill their constitutional obli-
cations in regard to fugitive slaves and
fuglttves from Justice. If our slaves es-
cape into nou-sloveholding States, they
must be delivered up; il abandoned. de-
praved and desperately wicked men conc
into slave States to incitc insnrrcctions.
or to commit other crimes against our
laws, and escape into free States, thew
must be given up for trial aud punish
ment, when lawfully demanded by the con-
stltutcd authorities of those States whose
laws have been violated
Second. We must have proper and effect
i've guarantees for the protection of SIuy-
cry in the District of Columbia. We can
never consent to the abolition of slavery
in the District, until Maryland shall eman-
cipate her slaves; and not then unless it
shall be demanded by the citizens of the
District.
Taird. Our equality in the States and
Territories must be fully recognized, iand
secured. We must have guarantees that
slavery shall not be interdicted in anv
Territory belonging to, or which NAV
hereafter be acquired by the general Gov
ernment, either by the Congress of the
United Suites or n Territorial Legislature:
that we shall be permitted to pass through
the free States and Territories without
mOlestatiOni aud it IL slave shall be alb
Quoted, that the State in which he or sue
shall he lost, shall pay the full value of
such slave to the owner.
Fourth; Like guarantees must be given
that the transmission of slaves between
the slaveholding States, either by land or
water, shall not be interfered with
EyEh. Tue passage and enforcement of
rigid laws for the punishment of such per-
sons in the free States rs shall organize,
or aid and abct in organizing, either By
contribution of money, arms, munitions Of
war, or in any other mode whatsoever,
companies of men, with view to nssail
the slaveholding states, and TO incite
slaves stoinsurrecdon. to
Sirth. That the General Government
shall be deprived of the power of appoint
ing to local Office, in the slavcholding
States, persons who are hostile to their in .
stitutions, or inimicnl To their rights-the
object being to prevent the appointing
power from using patronage to SOW the
seeds OF strife and disscntion between the
slaveholdimg nnd non-sIaveholding classes
in the Southern States.

NO ATTACK ON NEWPORT NEWS.

NV IIAVk
Fortress Monroe, July 29.-The story of the
Confederates having demanded the evacuation
of Newport News, and given twenty -four hours
notice of an intention to attack the place,
proves to have been unfounded. The Gag
Of truce was for another purpose. A lieutenant
Of the Naval Brigade accompanied it from
Hampton to Newport News. He reports a
large force Of secession troops near Newman
ket Bridge. The Confederates we're very in.
qu:sitive as to our batteries near Hampton, the
rifed cannon in the Fortress, and the regiment
of mounted riAemen expected at Old Point, of
which they seemed to be apprehensive.

DEFEAT OF THE REBELS At HARKlsONvrLLE.
Kansas City, July 27.-Coonel Weir, co,n.
manding the United States troops, arrived
here this evening. From him we have &C.
counts of a stirmish with 800 mounted rebels
at Harrisonvlle, Mo-, on the night Of the 25th
inst. The rebels were discovered posted on
the hills surrounding the town, and we're at.
tackled by Captain Williams, with fifty men,
killing six Of the rebels and losing two of his
own force. After the third round, the enemy
fed precipitately, some of them throwing
away their guns.
The following morning, the Union troops,
under command Of Major Van Horn, took
possession Of the town, and hoisted the Stars
and Stripes over the Court House. Having re.
ceived orders to withdraw, they returned to
this place, where portion of them will be de.
tailed as au escort to the Government trains for
the Southwest. Several stores were said to
have been ransacked by the United States
forces, but Colonel Weir pronounccs the state
ments without foundation.
1t is stated that the enemy in the country

independence, July 29.-The steamer White
Cloud, conveying party Of United States
troops to some point up the river, was fred
into at Blue Mills Landing on Monday, and
some of the troops killed and wounded. 1t is
reported that these troops had DESTROYED all
the ferry boats on their way up the river, and
committed some depredations in the towns,
which so incensed the people, that they con.
gregsted in one or two places as stated. The
citizens of this and Clay counties knew moth.
ing of the attack until they heard the cannon.
aiding, and saw the light of the burning
buildings, which were fred by the troops after
the attack on the boat.
