expense of suppressing the rebellion. 1t
also provides that the President shall, by
proclamation. warn all persons engaged in
the rebellion to return to their Loyalty
within sirty days, at the peril of their
property. 1t provides further that the
proceeds from the sale of all property SO
confscated shall be deposited in the treas
ury of the United States, and that the
property of rebels indebted to loyal people
shall be appropriated to the payment of
such private Indebtedness.
So far, so good let the work progress.
We earnestly hope that the Senate will
concur in the passage of the bill. 1t is a
measure demanded by loyal people, in JUS
tice to themselves. 1t will be borne in
mind that this bill only applies to the
property Of rebels, and in no case can the
property of loyal citizens be taken under
its provisions. An amendment by which
all slaves should be declared free was de-
feated.

Foreign Intervention.

Among the topics most freely discussed
for week or two past, has been that of
Intervention in the affairs of the nation by
France and England We don't believe a
word of all this twaddle about Intervention
on their part. They know that the full
meaning of the word is arar, and war
with the United States is a thing they
least desire Another thing, the old world
is too much troubled in her own affairs,
and is likely to be for some time to come,
to think of provoking foreign war. The
elements of revolution are still shoulder
ing on that continent, and just now they
are likely to burst forth in flame. In
France, in Russia, in Spain, in Italy, i'll
Austria, the same ominous signs are OBJ
servabie. Louis Napoleon has already
shown his apprehension of impending deu-
ger, as proven by the arrests recently
made in Paris. Indeed, there is every
prospect that before long, monarchy and
imperialism will be subjected to a trial
which will test their strength to the fullest
extent, and we shall be surprised if the
result does not demonstrate that Republi-
can government is the strongest and most
permanent of all.
At the outset of this war, when we had
no army, no navy, no equipments, with our
property stolen by rebels. and traitors
were lurking in every department of state,
then the nations Of France and England
believed our desolation nigh, and subse-
quent events have proven that they desired
it, in measure. But since we have vim
Dictated our strength and asserted our de-
termination to stand by the government,
a wonderful change has taken place.
With an army of 100000 men. armed
and equipped second to none in the world,
navy that rivals Her Majesty's floating
world" treasury not easily exhausted, a
credit better than either France or Eng
land, change has Eeen wrong bit in the
feelings of our transatlantic cousins. We
anticipate that they are wise enough to
comprehend that intervention on their part
in American affairs would only prove a
source of great disaster to them and ruin
Gus to the commerce of the world. In
our opinion there is no danger to be pre-
dicted from foreign sources. ....

Banks Defeat.

On the 25th, Gen. Banks was driven
from bis position on the Shenandoah. He
had fight at Front Royal, and was COM
PEELED to retreat to Williamsburg, thence
to Harper's Ferry, where be holds both
sides of the Potomac. Great eonsterna-
ton was experienced in Washington lest
the rebels should follow up the retreat and
cross over into Maryland and bnsiege the
capital. Banks division experienced a
forced march of Jffty-three miles, besieged
by rebels in front, flank and Iear. Of
eight or nine hundred men engaged on our
side in the Front Royal fight, only one
hundred and fifty Of them escaped. We
arc inclined to think this is an exaggera-
ton, though perhaps true. While our
troops were marching through Williams
burg, on their retreat, the women opened
windows and shot at them with pistols and
shot guns These 81 she devils" deserve
no mercy.
Gen. Banks has been furnished with
eighteen thousand fresh troops from Wash
ington, and will doubtless Immediately
re-takc bis former position. If be fails in
doing this, Fremont, in the mountain de-
partment, is likely to be cut short of sup
plies.
We hardly think that little reverse of
this kind will materially block the whole
of the war, The forces engaged against
Banks were three to one and there is no
marvel that he was whipped. The reverse,
however, cannot be attributed to bad gen
eralsbip on the part of Banks for his men
had all been taken from him to strengthen
other positions, bis being deemed entirely
safe from strenuous attack.
The tremendous scare which is re-
ported to have prevailed in Washington is
undoubtedly a farce. With fifty or sixty
thousand well drilled men in and about tie
city, we hardly think the !" Throne " can
be IN any great danger, especially when we
consider its immense Notifications,

How the People Felt.

To prove to what extent the secession
dogma was popular among the people Of
the different States which are now in re-
bellion, we present the following figures,
which show the result of the farce of vot-
ing, which the leaders inaugurated for the
purpose of deceiving the people into the
belief that they desired to accord to their
wishes in the matter. We know very
well that it was foregone conclusion with
these demagegues to inaugurate a civil
war, and events transporting since the out
set have proven it, but they desired to
wool the people:

Presidents Message.

q the 9th inst, President Lincoln
transmitted the following message to Con-
gress =
The instruction which is vet existing
in the United States, and aimed at the
overthrow of tie Federal Constitution and
Union, was clandestinely prepared during
the winter of $50 and 1861, and assumed
an open organization in the form of trea-
sonable, provisional government at Mont
gomery, Ala, on the 18th day of February,
1861.
On the 18th day of April, 1861, the
insurgents committed the fragrant act of
civil war, by the bombardment and capture
of Fort Sumter, which cut off the hope of
immediate Cancellation.
Immediately aftcrward, the roads and
avenues to this city were obstructed, and
the capital was put into a condition of a
siege The mails in every direction were
stopped, and the lines of telegraph cut
off by the insurgents, and the military and
naval forces which had been called out by
the Government for the defense of Wash
ingten, were prevented from reaching the
city by organized and combined reasonable
resistance in the State of Maryland.
There was ne adequate and effective
organization for the public defense. Con-
gress had indefinitely adjourned. There
was no time to convene them. It became
necessary for me to choose whether, using
only the existing means, agencies and
processes which Congress had provided, I
should let the government fall into ruin,
or whether, availing myself of the broad
powers conferred by the constitution in
cases of insure elton. l would make an
effort to save it with all it's blessings, for
the present age and posterity.
1thereupon summoned my constitutional
advisers, the heads of all the Departments,
to meet on Sunday the 10Th day of April
1861, at the Office of the Navy Depart
ment, and then and there with their unan-
lmous concurrence, directed that an armed
revenue cutter should proceed to sea to
afford protection to the commercial marine.
and especially to the California treasure
ships then on their way to this coast.
| also directed the commandant of tho
Navy Yard at Boston to purchase char
ter and arm as quickly as possible five
steamships, for purposes of public defense.
directed the commandant of the NAVY
Yard at Philadelphia to purchase or char
1eI an equal number, for the same purpose.
L directed the commandant at New York to
purchase or charter and arm an equal num-
Der. L directed Commodore Giles to nur-
chase or charter and arm and put to sea
two other vessels. Similar directions wera
given to Commander Dupont, with view

The President of the United States has

OF volunteers to join the army of the ma

BY these figures it is clearly shown that
at the time this war was commenced a
majority of 149, 239 of the voting popula-
ton of the above named fifteen States
were in favor of Union, and consequently
opposed to secession. This evidently

THE MEANING OF Mr.. LINCoLN's Proc.
LAMATIoN. Better perhaps than any man
in the Union Mr. Lincoln sees that this
war, which slavery has provoked, must
put an end to its cause. 1t may be con-
vulsive, or it may be a peaceable end, and
the President inclines to make it the lat
ter There is yet time for the inhabitants
of the border states to inaugurate sys-
tenn of emancipation which shall be as ben
efcial to themselves as to the bendmen :
he conjures them to take advantage of it
but he does not conceal bis belief that now
is the accepted time, and that if they do
not avail themselves of the offer there
must be fearful looking for Judgment.
The meaning of the last paragraph of
the Presidential monition is unmistakable.
A solemner warning to any people than it
addressed to the slave states It tells
them that by timely revolution, they
may do an infinite good in a practicable
and peaceful way. But it also tells them
that if they delay, posterity may have to
lament their blindness and inaction. And,
more significant than all, the President in
Inmates that the exigency may yet come
when he shall consider it indispensable to
the maintainence of the government to ex-
ercise whatever powers be may possess in
the premises. That time, indeed, ap-
proachcs very rapidly with every minute
of stubborn resistance to the Federal au-
thority. Should it be prolonged until our
troops are drawn into the unhealthy re-
gions of the South-until the North clam
ors for the protection of the lives of it's
brave sons from pestilence and fever, or
until, perhaps, foreign nations begin to en-
force their mute threats of intervention
Mr.. Lincoln, patient. forbearing moderate
as he is, will be compelled to act on the
necessities of which he speaks. and strike
The final blow-New York Eveninq Post.
