cording 10 his statement Ge,. AcCIeI
Ian disobeyed orders in more than one
instance, and Gen. Halleck is of the
opinion that il orders had been obeyed,
and Gen. Pope reinforced as was con.
templated, the rebel army would have
been defeated. if not destroyed. He
commends Pope's earlier disposition ol
troops for isola.ing Stonewall Jackson s
forces as we'll planned. and lays the re-
suit to the tardiness Of the movements
of Nc Clsllan's troops. which he says is
inexcusable.
Ii is said that certain merchants 10

The Presidents Message.

This important document, OF whicl
we have only seen synopsis. whicl
was received TOO late for publicatio,
this week. is now before the nation. =
Willie it is said ''it pleases nobody" il
has, like all lis predecessor, advocates
and defamers, enemies and friends.
We canno! speak of the message OF
its merits ia detail at this time, but from
the reading Of the synopsis befooe US
we infer that in the main it is an able
state paper. advocating measures found
ed in wisdom and sound policy.
Our relations with foreign powers
snem to be as favorable as could reas-
onably be expected under all the cir
cumstances. .s..s.a
The president reiIeraies the opinion
expressed in his inaugural address. tina,
it is impossible for two separate and
distinct nations to exist in peaceful re-
lations in that portion Of the earth oc
cupied by the people Of the United
States.
He then suggests amendments 20 the
Constitution, the frs. article of which
proposes that all States abolishing slav-
cry before January Isl. 1900. shall re-
ceiva compensation from the United
States.
Seconi-Ali slayes freed by chances
of war any time before the end Of the
rebellion shall be forever free. but all
owners who have not been disloya!
shall be compensated.
Third-Congress may appropriate
money and otherwise provide for the
colonization of free co.o,ei persons.
The Presiden, adheres to Lis Eman-
cipaiiou proclamation, and says:
1.-The plan consisting Of these articles
is recommended, not but that the Ies-
toration OF the national authority wo'd
be accepted without il, nor will The war
or the proceedings under the proclaml-
tion OF Sept 2sd be stayed because Of
the recommendation Of this plan.
= The subject is presented exclu.
sively in its economical aspect. Tie
plan is proposed in permauen. cons,ita.
tional law
In conclusion the President says the
dogmas Of the great past are inadequate
TO the stormy present. The occasion
is filled high with officially and we
must rise with the occasion. The fiery
,Iisl through which we pas. will ligh.
US down an honor or dishonor to the Ia
test generation. We say that we ale
for the Union. The world will no, for
get that while we say We do know low
10 save tie Union. In giving freedom
TO The Slave we ensure freedom 10 the
free-honorbie alike in villa, We give
and what We preserve. We sl,aIi nob,y
save or meaniy lose the last best hope
Of the earth. Oler means may sue.
ceed-;bis could not fail. The way il
plain, peaceful. generous; Just way
which. If followed. the world will for.y.

ST. Louis, Dec. j.
The following dispatch va. received
at headquarters in this city on Saturday
night:
HEADa'Rs BATTLE FIELD.
Nov. 90.
To Maj. Gen. Cursis:-Learniny that
rebel iorce under Gen. Marmaduke
5000 strong was at CANE Hill, 40 miles
north OF Van Buren. Ark. aud that
Gen. Hindman was TO Join him to-day
or tomorrow. with large force If tn
fsntry. for the purpose Of making des-
perate effort to enter Missouri, l deter
mined TO strike Marmaduke and destroy
lin before r.inforcemenis arri,el. So.
leaving my transportation in the rear.
made forced march Of abou, 25 miles
with about 5000 men, and attacked
him at 10 o'clock this morning and
found him strongly posted on .dvan.a-
geous ground. After an engagement
Of about three hours he commenced q
retreat. Every foot OF the ground was
fought over and hotly contested until
near shutdown. when the enemy. find.
Ing tha, their artillery which they we're
making every effort 10 get away. was
about to be captured, sent Coils. Shelby
and Emmett Mcdowell with a fay Of
truce for the oslensibIs purpose Of car.
ing of their dead and. wounded. but for
the real object Of making good their re-
treat to Van Buren,.
The casul,ies Of the day am unable
10 state with accuracy At this time. as
We fought over IL miles Of ground.
One Of the rebel officers with the fla.
Of truce. stated TO me that they had lost
so in killed. among them Lieut.. Col.
My loss is comparatively small. Among
the wounded are Lieut.. Col. Jewe., and
Lieut.. Johnson, Of the Kansas 9th, both
Of them l fear mortslIy.
The enemy are badly whipped. and
will probably not venture north Of the
Boston mountains again this winter il
this part Of the State is held. As it is
their reliance for subsistence, and hav-
ing eaten everything in the valley Of
the Arkansas, they must soon retreat
into Texas.
l have sent Tor my transportation to
come up and shall occupy = position at
or near Cane Hill.
The. rebels had about ten days. ra-
,ions Of bread in little sacks behind
their saddles. from which it is evident
that they intended to make 4 desperate
effort to force their way north.
Very respectfully.
Jas. G. BLUNT,
Brig. Gen. Commanding.
