The President begins by referring to the f9rr failures
Of the enemy to take Richmond, under Mcdowell Nc.
Cleuen, r ope and Burnside. He INDUCES ia a ius6fl-

boastings of the vain glorious Vandal=. and so honorable
TO the Southern COniederacy, He re rsseuts the coudi
ton of the Confederaey to repel future attacks as belt r
than at any former day. The Yankees IA saws. bepan
The war to force Us back into the Union; HAVING failed
in that, they waged a war of cor quest to reduce rs 70
the condition Of provinces; and that too having failed,
they are now engaged IN q war; of pillage and plumber.
he expresses the belief that such a wa. so extensive
and inglorious, cannot last more than another twelve
months,
This may be so, bat we should be very s0rrv 70 b-
lieve, that the 4srlke preparations IF tbg Government
were to be based on any such ealeuia'ioa- We hope we
may have an honorable peace b. the time specified; but
we do not expectit. In the uncertainty, ft is our duty
to relax no energy, and to lat forth every effort for b
more vigorous prosecution Of the war Than ever. The
RANGES must oe routed and driven from Washington,
and that nest Of pirates and thieves .sveled with the

were undeF 40 especial obligations TO US it was not 10 be-
expected that they would give them-elvss snv t~erb1s
on our account, without a consideration. Recognition
and a faithful respected he laws Of blockade were our
dae but that was al. We had no further G aim upol
any Of them unless we created it by obligations pres

we might have been kindly listened to- In that cass
we might not have had quite so much pride to boast of.
but, possibly, we might have been able 10 save all our
territory from invasion and desolation, and to wreak
vengeance on our barbarOus enemy.

The President refers to Lineoln's proclamation as far.
