The Presidents Inaupural.

The inaugural address of Mr.. Lincoln
has been received by telegraph. and will ap.
pear in this copy of to-day's p.per-imper-
feet, as from the mode of its transmission
we may reasonably suppose it is-it is yet,
sufficiently clear. that the Southern people
have nothing to fear in the way of war
Like every other President of the United
States, he processes to know his duty. and
proposes to do it. so far As he can, in the
exercise of discretion. according to cir
cumstances actually existing. and with
view and hope of peaceful solution of the,
national troubles, the restoration of the fra.
ternal sympathies and Affections" He
promises that, $50 far as possible, the
people every where. shall have that sense of
perfect security. which is most favorable to
calm thought and reflection" And especi-
ally referring to the difficulties which exist,
whereby he may be prevented from enforc-
ing through the proper officers of the Gov
ernment. the performance of the duties
which he conceives to be obligatory on the
people of the seeded States, he says -
F" While the strict legal right, may exist
in the Government to enforce the exercise
of these offices, the attempt to do SO. would
be SO irritating and so nearly impracticable
without force, that deem it best, to forgo
for q time, the use of such Offices
Without protesting to have any admira-
tion for Mr. Lincoln, as a man, or for his
inaugural as State paper. we are at a loss
to conceive what he could, as a President
of the United States, have said, that would
be more conciliatory. And if he does Just
what he promises to do. we may calmly
await the action of the Border States, and
in due time. will we hope. be called on to
elect Delegates to general Convention of
all the States. at which may be settled for
ever those vexed questions, which have SO
nearly resulted in the destruction of the
Government.

I Another document, more unexpected ant
remarkable. has appeared. almost simultaneously
with the inaugural, which being addressed partie
utdrfy TO the people Of Arkansas, and coming iron
q distinguished citizen Of this State, long known
as Wing. but recently Democrat, will. doubt
less, be extensively read. 1t is entitled State O.
Province, Bond Free and will, doubtless, b,
eagerly read with the expectation of deriving from
1t that instruction. which We may well expect from
the high reputation of the writer.
There are many remarkable things which W,
may learn from its perusal will specify q few
He tells US that the secession movement now ~ in
current of events has been drifting towards it fo
forty years-that the people are, for the most part
ignorant of the real causes which have produced
the revolution (that is. they engaged in effect
ing rerolutisa for causes that they do not under
stanG)-that the Border States do not appreciat,
the questions involved in this controversy (that
that they do not know the value or do not set hgl
value the:n.)
That it is not the slavery question. nor the Ter
:ral question: but that the real controversy is as
old as The Constitution itself-t5at it is, in short
nothing more IT iess 'iiai eon'eS' WIN '"e Wv
Federal alias Whig p.rty.
Coming from the enlightened source it docs, w
know mnst be true. and our only regret now Il
that this fact vas not sooner mads known' i.el
South caroIins and all the other seeded States
would certainly have remained in the 2ion. and
the people of State have bern saved from I.uch
unnecessary siarm- They thought all the while
that Lincoln and the abolitionists were laying
plans to deprive them of their property. and now
they have had all this fright fer nert to nothing.
Why, the Democrats have defeated the Wings
many q time-with Captain Pike among them
and surely With Captnin Pixies help, they can dc
it again.
We cannot better sum up, our Impressions of the
book than to iken it 10 crossing some streams in
rainy season-before getting in. we are awed BY
their apparent profoundness-on getting out, We
are amused at there real shallowness.

Tne Peaeh Orop % Western Nev

York
A writer In the Rural Men Yorker,
Rochester, don't give any fiattering hope
of peaches in that great fruit producing
region. He says:
The last even respectable crop Of peach
es was in 1855; and where are the peach-
es for 1861? Why, there is not the Tes-
tige Of bud left TO tell the tale. Thous-
ands of trees, too, have heen swept away
in the general ruin, not even those in
orchard houses escaping, However re-
1uctant We may be to do SO, We must Admit
the fact that the peach IN this section Is
very uncertain. cruP. In 1859 the entire
crop was destroyed; last year, although
the largest half of the flower hids were
destroyed, still we had fair yield along
the shore of lake Ontario, from score or
so of miles east Of this to Niagara, The
past winter it was thought did the work of
destruction most etfectually, ns pretty
careful examination only revealed IL live
bud ia hundred, while in many cases a
sound one could not be found. Later we
have heard of some trees showing signs of
flower, and hopes expressed that u small
crop would yet he secured, hut how we'll
founded these hopes are, we cannot say.
Other sections OF our country are even less
favored, and u harvest of peaches is the
exception.

TFor the Iptellireuoer.l


NesIrs. Edtors:-oneo OF the very earliest
measures attended to-when our new State
Government is formed, should be to pro-
vide arms for our home militia. Sumo
thousands of men are ready and willing to
stand forth iudefenre of family and home,
who cannot enter into the United States
service. Many companies hive been al
ready formed and drilled, and If properly
armed, would be Invaluable as defenders Of
Western Virginia.
1t is easy to understand that the United
States Government cannot furnish these
men with arms, unless they enlist in the
United States service but the nep Stdfe
Government. when organized. can precisely
supply the legal requirements. They can
raise money, or borrow or beg arms, and
these arms should first be served out to
the most efficiently organized companies.
Neither should our new Government exarI
that tue companies be too numerous before
they are supplied with arms. If 100 men
GAnnNt lie raised in neighborhuod, 80 or
30 may be /; aud would rather suggest
the lower number as minimum than the
higher. Pray urge this subject upon the
early attention of the new Government.
