 BEAUTIES or L1SCoLN's MG5sAG c.-Fhe a1- mioistration iouruala have preteAd=d that lAc delecta of the message were t0 t'e attrb1t1d to he haste of II. transmission bv telegraph. Qu tue contrary the telegraph haa rather iApr3r -i' than injured it w look into t5e CtH-a caW of tbe National IaL Hgsnaer. aud find sHch sen- teucps as these:
 "IIthe condition of cur relation. nih othep nations is less gratifying than 4 ias u-an. f been at former periods, II ls certainly more s-t i8factory than q nation so unh8rpi5 distracted as we are might reasonably hay, +pP-o1endeJ
 For "apprehend rad -hopad.' We d1 not apprckend what Is Sa'i;t.ctcFy.
 " 4 blockade, etc., could not be es.ao..a5ad etc. without committing occasional mistakes and inhicting unjutenronal injuries
 Blockadea do not commit mistakes. blJck- heads do.
 "Durng the last year tbeye lqs not desa on- ly TO change of our previous relations with the independent States of our own continent, 5Mt anor5 friendly scRTmcats than have heretofore neiphbors, whose safety and progress are 50 Ifl- tinatelv connected with our Uwa.
 If there has been no "ciianga." How have the sentiments become more riendLy?'
 Here is a discrepancy of another kind: "In the month of August last the Sioux In- dians in Minnesota, attacked the settlements in their vicinity with extreme ferocify, killing indiscriminately, men, women, and chi3ten.- Ite Qttack erQ8 7eh0Hg uaerpeGed, and there, fore no means of defence had been proyiipd.- 7 ; x Information rus rcccjred hy he Indian Bureau from different sources, about the time hostilities were-commenced, that q simultaneous attack acas 10 be made upon the white settie- ments by all the tribes between the Mississippi river and the Rocky monntaius."
 It seems then, that the Indian Bureau had inf0rmatisn that " the attack was t0 be made " How then, was it " wholly unexpected"
 Speaking of the agricultural department, he syas:
 ct will soon be prepared to disfriqute large ly seeds, cereals. plants and cuttngs.n
 What is the difference between seeds and cereals, plants and cuthncs?" May nct seeds be cereals, and plants be cereals, and cuttings be plants?
 Speaking of D boundary of separation, he says:
 "Neary all is remaining length ARE merely surveyors lines. NJ part of THIS LINE can be made any more difficult to pass"
 confusion of singular and plural which might easily have been avoided.
 Here are two profound remarks. The it4lc8 are from the official copy as published in the National nteligencer:
 And if with less money, or money more easily paid, we can preserve the. benefits of sbe union by this means than We. ean hy the war alone, is 1t not also economical t1 do it?''
 Certainly it is not so easy to pay Soaoctbtng as to pay nothing; but it is easiereo pay a large sum than 1t is 10 pay larger one. And it is easier to pay any sum m1len we are able than 1t is to pay 1t detore we are able"
 IL is impossible to add anything to profundi- ties like these.
 of there ever could be proper time for mere catch arguments, that time surely is not now"
 The telegraph operator dropped the word " catch" not knowing what to makeof it.
 The President says, on closing: We cannot escape history" No; but he has escaped grammar, logic and arithmetic.
