Address of the Governors.

WASHINGTON, Oct 3-The following is the re-
mainder of the address of The Governors to the
President
The right of ans person to retain authority TO
compel any portion OF the subjects is a measure
OF military prudence, while il would greatly pro-
mote the military education OF the people We
hail with heartfelt gratitude and encouraged hope
the proclamation of the President issued on the
22d of September, declaring emancipation from
their bondage all persons held to service or labor
a. slaves in the rebel States where rebellion shall
last till the first day OF January. The right Of
anv person 10 retain authority 10 compel any pOr-
ton of the subjects OF the National Government
to rebel against it, or to maintain its enemies, lm
plies in those who allowed the possession of
such authority the right 10 rebel themselves, and
therefore the right 10 establish martial law or
military government in State or Territory in re
belliOn implies the right aud duty OF the Govern
ment 10 hberate the minds of all persons dwelling
therein by appropriate proclamation, and assuran-
ces Of protection, in Orer that al who are capa-
BILE. intellectually and morally, of loyalty and
obedience, may not be forced into treason the
military tools rebelllous traitors.
To have continued indefinitely the most eff
Gent cause, support. and stay of the rebellion
would have been, in our judgment. unjust to the
loyal people whose treasure and lives are made
willing sacrifice on the altar of patriotism: would
have Disseminated against the wife who is com
PEELED To surrender her husband: against the
parent who is to surrender his child 10 the hard
ships Of the camp and the pers Of battle, and in
favor of the rebel monsters who are permitted
to retain their slaves. Ii would be final decs-
ion alike against humanity, justice the rights and
dignity of the Government. and against a sound
and wise national policy. The decision of the
President TO strike at the root of the rebellion
will lend new vigor to the efforts and new lifeand
hope 10 the hearts of the people
Cordially rendering 10 the President our re-
specttul assurances OF personal and official con-
hdence, We trust and believe that the policy now
inaugurated will be crowned with success, and
will give speedy and triumphant victories over
our enemies and secure the nation and people the
blessings and favor of Almighty God. We be
lieve that the blood of the heroes who have al
ready fallen and who NAV vet give up Their lives
TO their country will not have been shed in vain.
The splendid valor of our soldiers, their pa
tient endurance, their manly patriotism and their
devotion to duty, demands from Us and from all
their c0untrymen the homage Of the sincerest
gratitude and the pledge of our constant rein
forcement ard support. just regard to those
brave men, whom we have contributed TO place
IN the field, and the Importance of the duties
which may lawfully pertain to us hereafter, has
called us into friendly conference and now, pre-
conclusion o. our deliberations, we devote our
selves to our country's service and We will sur
round the President in our constant support,
trusting that the fidelity and zeal of the loyal
States and people will always assure him that he
will be constantly sustained in pursuing with vi
gor this war for the preservation of the national
life and The hopes of humanity.

that the enemy are sending away sick aud
wounded soldiers after stripping them OF clothes
and shoes tor the use of the able bodied who re-
main in the ranks.

iness to resume his command whenever the Pres
ident may direct.
Gen. Harvey has been assigned 10 a command
in the West.
Among the men who are heartily in favor of
the Presidents proclamation a military means

measures for crushing treason everywhere, are

York
The Solicitor OF the Treasury has modified
his previously expressed opinion touching the liza
bllity to taxation OF articles manufactured prior
to the first OF September. He now holds that
removal from the premises although it be only
70 storehouses in the same town or city, is such a
removal as contemplated by the 18th section OF
the tax law, if made before the first of Septem-
Der. and relieves the articles so removed from
taxation.
