From The south.

New YonK, July 10th.-The World
says: We give an interesting statement
b. Union man who has ust reached
this city from Atlanta, Georgia, respect
ing the position of affairs at the South
From the genteman's account--it ap-
pears, FIRST, That had the recent contest
before Richmon terminated in n Confcd-
crate defeat, the rebellion would have
been ended, as the spirit of the South
was almost utterly broken by the series
Of rebel defeats. Second, The rebel ar
my at Richmond previous to the late bat
tie, was undoubtedly over two hundred
thousand strong. Fully half of Beaulc-
CARDS army passed through Atlanta,
bound for Richmond to this gentleman S
knowledge. Third, That but compar,
atiyeIy small quantity Of cotton has been
destroyed at the South, as the planters
do what they can to save and not destroy
,hcir property. There will be an abun-
dance, therefore, for the needs of COM
mercc, whenever the rebellion is ended
Fourth, That the wheat and out crop at
the South is an utter failure, and that il
the corn should also fail famine as well as
the other horrors Of war will be the fate
of the South.

secret Political Societies.

Inc Indiana State Sentinel Of Thurs
day says that the journal, in an article ol
yesterdays issue, with unexpected candor'
admits the following facts
l. That secret political societies exist,
but that they are exclusively of Republi-
can origin:
3 That the object of such associations
are the overthrow of the Constitution as
it is, and tho Union as it was, and re-
organization of the Government upon an
abolition basis
3. That although the purposes of these
organizations are disloyal, known to the
editor of the journal to be such, yet there
is no fear Of their being disturbed as long
as the Government is in its present
hands
4. That the editor of the Journel is a
member OF this secret order, fully initiated
into all its mysteries and objects, and
that he is doing all that ho can to extend
it.
We hope the people Of Indiana. sol
diels and civilians, who are doing all in
their power TO restore the Union and the
supremacy of the Constitution, will not
forget the machination of tho leading
Republican organ to defeat these beneti
cent purpose.

Our Prisoners at Richmond.

per of the 3d Of July, reports Magrnder's
and Johnsons divisions as lrightfully
cut up and the loss Of officers as very
great, among the latter many Of the best

1t is confessed that the valor Of oul

Clellan's entire force, and that the retreat
was managed with consumate judgement,
and our positions defended with such
stubbornncss as caused them very heavy
losses.
The number of our prisoners at Rich

Esle Federal Tax Assessors and

The Philadelphia Inquirer (Republi,
cam in speaking of the Assessors and

These Assessors and Collectors will be

empowered to make introduce them more
intimately into our dwellings and shops,

They are to make valuations of property

portunitics for collusion and corruption,
for favoritism on the one hand and OPP
preston on the other, are enormous.

W g hear much talk among Office holders
and anxious cXpcctauts about united n North.
1t is strange, indeed, that all intelligent men
cannot see that there can only be u united
North, on the platform OF the Constitutions
That is The Only bond Of Union to which the
States, or the people Of the States, have ever
subscribed. There they owe their only ale
glance. There can be united North IN favor
uphoding the authority of that instrument,
and the Union founded upon it, with all the
blood and treasure Of the Nation-but there
cannot bo a united North upon any other
bass-on the theory Of an Abolition crusade,
or Of reconstruction of the Union under
some new Constitution, or new form Of COM
pact. We will all unite to maintain the old
Constitution, to restore tho old Union but
We will not unite to reyolUtionizo tho Gov
crnmcnt, on the idea Of establishing some
Utophan or Humanitarian system on its ruins
a united North can at once be secured, if the
AboltiouSts will dismiss their revolutionary
plans and theories, and directly, and in good
faith, labor to maintain the Constitution as it
is, and the Union as it was. This is the real
touchstone of loyalty for every citizen.

Presidents Abolition Message

WAsnNGroN, July 14.-The following
message from the President was deliver
ed to Congress to-day
Fellow citizens ofMe Senate and House Of
Representatives
Herewith is draft of the bill to COM
pensatc any State which may abolish sla.
very within its limits, the passage of
which, substantially, as presented, Ire
specially and earnestly recommend.
Signed, ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House
Of Representatives Of the United States of
America, in Congress assembled, That
whenever the President of the United
States shall be satisfied that any State
shall have lawfully abolished slavery
within and throughout such State, either
Immediately or gradually,
1t shall be the duty Of the President, as
sisted hy the Secretary Of the Treasury,
to prepare and deliver to each State an
amount of six per cent. interest bearing
bonds Of the United States equal to the
aggregate value, at---dollars per head
Of all the slaves within such State, as re,
ported by the census of 1860. The whole
amount for any one State to be delivered
at once if the adjustment be immediate,
or in equal annual installments if it be
gradual interest to begin running on
each boud at the time Of delivery, not be-
fore.
And be it further enacted, That if any
State having so received any such bonds,
shall at any time afterwards by law re-
Introduce or tolerate slavery within its
limits, contrary to the act Of abolishment
upon which such bonds shall have been
received, said, bonds so received by said
State shall at once be null and void, in
whosomover hands they may be, and
which State shall refund to the States al
interests which may have been paid OF
suchb onds.
The House Select Committee on Eman.
cipaton in tho border States, will prob
ably report on the subject tomorrow.

The Call for Volunteers.

OF the 100000 volunteers recently called
for by the President, Ohio is expected to raise
$4,000. For the purpose OF raising these the
State has been divided into twenty two mill.
tary districts. The counties Of Ashland
Richland, Wayne and Holmes cons stiuto a
district for the purpose of raising one rcgi-
mont of Infantry. Holmes is expected to
furnish two companies.
II is Of no use now TO refer to tho recent
mismanagemcnt by the Administration at
Washington in the conduct Of the operations
against Richmond, except to make a record
OF it. However bad it has been, and disas
trous in its consequences, these do not change
the duty of tho people to the Govcrnm ent,
which, be its management good or bad, is the
sole fundamentally OF crushing the rebellion.
1t is very evident that the troops now in tho
field arc insufficient to crush the rebellion, and
hence the call for 900, 900 moro men. The
immediate and highest duty OF the country is
to furnish these men, as the immense forces
have been hitherto furnished by prompt and
spirited voluntary enlistments.
The moral effect of prompt and spirited
response to the call OF the President will be
great and salutary, as wei upon the European
powers, voting for decent prcteXi TO rccog-
nze tho rebel Coniedracy, as upon the re bells,
who, having rcsortcd to universal conscript-
ion, are behind the last ditch OF their dcspo,
rate cause.
The Presidents call does not embrace n
man too many. What the country has never
ceased to want since the war began is that
whatever number of men necessary to bring
the rebellion to speedy and final close should
be put into the field.
