lots themselves at succeeding election.
Such will be great lesson of peace, teach
ing men that what they cannot take by an
election neither can they take it by war
teaching all the folly Of being the beginners
of war.
Lest there be some uneasiness N the
minds of candid men as to what is to be
the course of the Government towards the
Southern States after the rebellion shall
have been suppressed, the Executive deems
it proper to say it shall be his purpose
ever, to be guided by the Constitution and
laws, and he probably will have no different
understanding of the powers and duties of
the Federal Government relatively to the
rights of the States and the people under the
Constitution than that expressed in the In
augural Address
he desires to preserve the Government, that
1t may be administered for all as it was admin
istered by the men who made it. Loyal citi.
zens everywhere have the right to claim this
OF their Government. The Government has
not the right to withhold or neglect it, and it
is not perceived in giving it that there is any
coercion, any conquest, or any subjugation, in
any Just sense of these terms.
The Constitution provided and all the states
accepted It's provision, that the United States
shall guarantee to every State in this Union
republican form of government but ifa State
may lawfully go out OF the Union, having done
SO 1t may also discard the republican form of
government so that to prevent its going out
Is an indispensable means to obtaining the
guarantee mentioned. When an end is lawful
and obligatory, the indispensable means to at.
tain it are alse lawful and obligatory.
1t was with the deepest regret that the Exc.
cutiye assumed the duty of employing the war
power 10 defence of the government. Forced
upon him. he could but perform this duty or
surrender the existence of the government.
NO compromise by public servants could in
ths be cure not that compromises are not
often proper, but that no popular government
can long survive marked precedent that those
who carry an election can only save the gov
eminent by giving up the main point upon
which the people gave the election.
The people themselves and their servants,
can safely reverse their own deliberate de-
clsion. AS private citizen the Executive
could not have consented that these institu.
tOns shall perish, much less could he, in be-
travail OF so vast and SO sacred q trust as these
free people had confided to him. He felt that
he had no moral right to shrink or even count
the chances of his own life in what way follow.
In full view OF this great responsibility he has
you not, according to your own judgment per-
form yours?
He sincerely hopes that your views and &C.
tons mayso accord with his as to assure all
faithful citizens who have been disturbed of
their rights, OF a certain and speedy restoration
to them under the Constitution and laws. And
having in this chosen our course without guilt
and with pure purpose, let us renew our trust
IN Coo and go forward without fear and with
manly hearts, ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

A BATTLE ON THE POTOMAC.
Retreat Of the Rebels.

HAGERsrowN, July 2, 1860.
At O'Clock this afternoon special con.
veyance arrived in this town, bringing Cor
poral John N. Mckinley, of the Independ.
cnt Rangers, he being the first soldier
brought here wounded in action. Consid-
cradle excitement was occasioned upon his
arrival, and from statements made by him,
and from those on higher authority, the
government operators CLEAN the following.
Between 3 and o'clock this morning, the
troops which have been concentrating at
Hagerstown and Williamsport for several
days past, crossed the ford at Willamsport.
Gen. Patterson reviewed them as thew filed
past him.
The morning was bright and beautiful,
and the soldiers were in excellent spirits.
Scouting parties of Capt. McMilln's Ram
gers, and Others selected from the First
Wisconsin Regiment, were out at midnight,
and frequently during the night brisk firing
was heard between the Federal pickets and
those of the enemy on the Virginia side.
The proper fords having been ascertained,
the advance took place before daylight, the
post OF honor was assigned to Capt. Nc.
Mllens Independent Rangers and the First
Wisconsin and the Eleventh Pennsylvania
Regiments. The advancing column con.
sisted OF the brigade, of Abercrombie,
Thomas, and Negley. The Independent
Rangers behaved remarkably WE'LL getting
close up to the enemy within distance OF
only IS yards. Abercrombie's brigade led
the advance, and the casualties of the con,
tiIct were almost exclusively on the First
Wisconsin and Eleventh Pennsylvania Reg
iments.
Colonel Jarrett and Lieutenant Colonel
Coulter led the skirmishers, opening upon
them at 400 yards. The whole of the reb>
ell force at MartiDsburg, consisting of four
regiments of infantry and one regiment of
Eorse, were engaged in the action. They
mad with them four pieces of artillery, part
rifled cannon, aud were commanded by Gen.
eral jackson. The first city troops OF Phil
adelphia were assigned position near the
United States cavalry under Captain Per-
kIns, and behaved remarkably we'll as far as
known. The casualties on our side are two
killed and several wounded. Several of the
dead and wounded of the secession troops
were left on the field, 10 their hasty retreat,
one or two OF whom were buried by our
men. The loss of lite on their side is stated
to be very heavy. 10 anticipation of re-
treat by our force the rebels had leveIed the
fences on both sides of the turnpike even
with the ground, SO as to cut them of 10
the event OF their retiring to the Potomac.
| The first stand was made at Parken6eld
farm, on the turnpike near Haynesville,
where it was necessary to destroy barn
and carriage house to make charge upon
the enemy. Here the conflict was fierce,
the rebels standing we'll up to their work,
and fioally slowly retreating. Knapsacks
and canteens were hastily thrown aside as
membranes to backward march. They
left behind them q number of blankets and
other articles Of value, indicating heavy
| loss on their side.
