I could give scores and hundreds of in
stances of similar outrages. Is it sur,
prising that the people here look upon US
as vandals and barbarians? By no possible
process could we contrive to make them
bitterly and relentlessly hostile toward the
Union than in this way. General Butler,
of course, disapproves all this--but that
is not enough. He should have issued a
proclamation, as soon as he. arrived, in.
viting the citizens to remain at home. and
assuring them of the perfect protection
of their lives and property. And then
every violation of private rights, every ir-
stance of theft. or plunder, should have
been punished with q rigcr which would
have efectually prevented repetition of
the act. If some officer of the regular
army--such a man as general Wool, for
example-had been here, we should not
have had these disgraces. If the citizens
had remained at home, their property
would have been much safer, But they
were afraid to do SO, and not without
reason. One of our Colonels, one night,
arrested and brought into the fort, whole
family-including an old lady and three
or four small children, on the charge that
they were displaying signal lights for the
rebels. It turned out that they kept a
light burning on account of sick child

The Presidents Message.


By reading President Linceln's Mes.
sage, in this paper, our readers will see
that as heretofore, he is opposed to com.
promise and adjustment, and adheres to
the Chicago platform, preferring that in.
cendiary document to the Constitution Of
the United States. s 4a a} @
The President is resolved on war, and
hence calls upon Congress for an army oi
400, 600 men and 5000 900 Of money.
The Chicago platform seems likely to be
an expensive affair to the people.
The President does not claim that he
acted according to law in enlisting troops
for three years, &C., but he says be did
not transcend what Congress had the
right to dol The question should be,
Had the President righta Isit prudent
in President Lincoln in trying to compel
JEFF Davis and the seeded States to re-
turn to obedience, to trample on the Con-
stitution and the laws himself? @
The Presidents idea that the States
are derived from and wholly subservient
to the General Government, is certainly q
novel one. Most people, at least all our
great Statesmen, have always supposed
the States made the Union, not the Union
the States. e
: In doctrine, argument and Logic, the
Message is utterly unworthy the head of
a great nation, and in style, and all other
respects, is more like an emenation from

A little further along the road, on ris'
ing ground and overlooking the river just
at the head of the bridge, stand two very
neat cottages, with large lawns in front.
filled with choice roses and other flowers.
They were in full bloom on the day of my
visit, but the owners who used to admire
them were not there. The Naval Brigade
had pitched its tents in one of the gar
dens, and Coz. Weber's were busily en-
gagged in throwing up the earthworks for
battery directly in front of the house
and across the. path in the other. This
battery will command the bridge, and with
two or three others at neighboring points
will protect the passage of the river. A
plain wooden bridge, built upon piers. has
hitherto given passage across the stream,
which is about as wide as the Park in
front of the City Hall,-and on the other
side lies the Village of Hampton, q very
