This is inserted as an advertisement, and the
advice it contains is wholly opposed to the known
views and intentions of the Rebels, who do not
hesitate to avow, in the event of their ever get
ting chance, their purpose to put the garrison
to the sword. President LoDgstreet, about the
time the Brooklyn was reported to be about to
enter Charleston Harbor, issued pamphlet ap-
pealng to the authorities not to resist or fire on
her, so that the horrors of civil war might be
avoided.

Since it has come to be understood that the

strengthening the defenses of the hsrbOr. In

this department of their operations, and the
Chief of the Engineer Corps Of the State,
under the direction Of the Governor and Council,

what gracs these ardent spirits" can submit
to the control of the Government they have now
inaugurated Evidently they have anticipated
that the combination Of their several States In
such O Government would give a sudden and
powerful impulse to the extreme measures which
they are so anxious to hasten on. Some Of
them, especially those who know nothing at all
about war, hsye expressed great anxiety to at
tack Forts Pickens and Sumter. They write
very Appant letters on the subject, and seem to,
fancy that an added head is just the thing for
a soldier, and reckless spirit the very thing in
the presence of death. But the attempt to take
either of these forts, if properly defended, viii
enlghten these silly fellows somewhat, without
doubt. To place the control of the assaants in
the hands of responsible Government is to re-
strain such mad preciptancy. Experienced and
intelligent men will consider well before risking
the destruction of their people in rash attacks.
They will also hesitate, we believe, to take the
responsibility of breaking the peace with the
Federal Government in such way. The conse-
auences of the act are tremendous. Whether it
succeed or not in its immediate object, tie max.
ing of such move as that will at once check

THE NJ ESsAGE.

The Message of President Linco In takes
up seven columns of our space this week.
We publish it in full, because there are
many persons here who have no other
means of seeing it except through this
paper. Everybody should read it. 1t is
ABE LINCOLN all over. Notwithstanding
it is awkward in expression, it is cool, con-
sentative, and statesmanlike. There is no
attempt at grand fourishes, flowery Ian
guage, or anything of that kind. It abounds
with facts and figures. Let every one read
1t. and make up their opinions for them
selves.
There is one little matter of local ma
ture, in which we think the President is
slightly in error. and that is in reference to
the Rebellion in Missouri. He says .'Mis-
souri, is comparatively quiet, and believe
cannot again be overrun by the insurgents"
a great many people believe-and they are
more than half right-that the Rebels in
Missouri are just as rampant and energetic
to-day as ever; and we believe there is Just
as much danger now as ever, of the State
falling into the hands Of the Rebels-in feet,
a great portion of it is now neld by them,
and there is not Union force enough to
check them.

We understand that Ward Burlingame,
of Leavenworth City, will be candidate
for Chief Clerk of the House of Represent
atives, which meets next month. We hope
he will succeed, as We believe him in ev-
cry way fitted for the position. He was
formerly connected with the press of that
city. both as editor and correspo ndent, and
in these capacities displayed high order
of talent. We do not believe the members
could select man better qualified more
honorable man, or one that would make a
better clerk, than Ward Burlingamo.

two or more armed vessels TO the coast of
Europe for the protection of our commerce

stores, and schooner, with rice, had ar
rived, besides others. The Isabel and
Prince Wales were loaded with cotton, wait
