A negro f.ilo,O stabbed three times in
the breast yesterday, at or very near a drink
ing house on the Basin, corner Of 10th and
Byrd streets, kept by Henry Briekman. The
cuts were deep, and the blood flowed most pro-
fusey. We saw the negro, and wondered at
his being able to stand up after the loss OF so
much vital fluid; but stand up he did. and
walked away after q doctor. The wounds
were said to have been inflicted by one of the
disorderly boys infesting that neighborhood.
We did not learn his name. He would do
well to go into the buteheriug business.

Gone to War.

Who left their homes at country's call
To stop rebellion sway.

And all they loved so well;
They give their aid to save the State,
And armed treason qucll.
In battles dread array to stand;
TO fight with death amain -
Ne'er will they yield their sacred trust
Till triumph with them reign.
The soldier guards sacred cause
When armed in Freedoms light,

For justice, truth and right.
Tho nations hag he beareth forth
Into the pcriled tight;-
lie feareth not to meet the foe,
Though coming in his might.

When death shots rattle round
To hear the deafeni1g cannon's roar,

This Is the safest shield.

/ and House Of Representatives.:
t Having been convened on IN extraordinary
occasion, as authorized by the Constitution,
your attention is not called to any ordinary
subject of legislation.
THE BEGINNING OF THE REBELLION.
AT the beginning of the present Prcsiaen-
tial term, four months ago, the functions OF
the Federal Government were found to be
generally suspended within the several States
of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana, and Florida excepting
only those of the Post OlEce Department
within these States. All the forts arsenals,
dockyards, custom houses, and the like, in
Guiding the movable and stationary property
in and about them. had been seized and were
held in open hostility t. this Government,
excepting only Forts Pickens, Taylor and
Jefferson on and near the Florida coast, and
Fort Sumter in Charleston harhor, ; C.
The forts thus seized had been put in I'M
proved condition, and new oucs had been
/ built. and armed forces had been organizing
avowedv with tire same hostile purpose.
The forts remaining in TIE rssa ,-0n Of
the Federal Government in and near these
States were either bc>i"ged or menlccd by
warllkc preparations, aud especially Fort
Sumter was nearly surrounded by well pro-
tccted hostile batteries with guns equal in
quality to TIE best of It's own, and untnum-
barnG the latter as PERHAPS tn = one.

: nevertheless injurious in effect.
l TIE ACTION OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Recurring to the action of the Govern
ment, it may he stated that at first cal
was made for IS ,000 militia, and rapidly fol
lowing this proclamation was issued fo
closing the ports Of the insurcctionary dis
+ tricts by proceedings in the nature Of {
blockade. 50 far all was bel eyed to b
, strictly legal. At this point the insnrrcc
tioHists announced their purpose to enta
upon the practice OF priyatecrinG. othe
calls were made for volunteers to serve thrc
years, unless sooner discharged, and also 70
large additions to the regular army and Ma
W.
, These measures, whether strictly legal o
not, were ventured upon by what appearet
to lie a popular demand and a public necns
ty, trusting then, az now, that Congress
would readily rdtiiy them. 1t is helicvec
that nothing has been done beyond the Con
stitutionaI competency OF Congress.
Soon after the first call for militia, it wa,
considered duty to authorize the command
ing general, in proper cases, according to hlr
discretion, to suspend the privilege of the
habtas corpus, or, in other words. to arrest
and detain, without resort to the ordinary
processes and forms of law. such individuals
rs he might deem dangerous to the public
safety. This authority has purposey been
exercised, but very sparingly. Nevertheless.
the legality and propriety of what has been
done under it are questioned, and the atten-
tion Of the country has been called to the
proposition that one who is sworn to take
care that the laws he faithfully executed,
