stroy the essential rights and liberties of the
 people. He denounces arbitrary arrests, the suppression of journalism, the spy system of the general government, and enjoins sheriff s and civil officers that no person must be imprisoned, or carried from the State by force without pro, cess and authority of law. The President held his office, not by the will of ma jority, but by the Constitution which pla ,ed him in the olilce by a vote of one million eight hundred thousand, against two million eight hundred thousand. It the Constitution cannot keep the Executive within it's restraints he cannot retain the States in the union. Those who hold that there is no sanctity in the Consultation must admit their guilt in the rebellion. He condemns the eman- cipation proclamation as unjust and unconsttu- tional, and may be construed as an abandon ment of the hope Of restoring the union If the South must be held under military subjugation the government must be converged into . ml'l- tary despossm. The opinion that the south must be subjugated weakened the hopes of the people.
 The message urges that the union is ndisso> luble, and factions North and South must be put down. So closely are the upper and lower valleys of the Mississippi bound together, that when cotton was burned in Lous a lia corn was used for fuel in Illinois. It seems Southern commerce bankrupt Northern produce. Neither IT Northern or Southern union can the con Acting interests of agriculture, commerce and manufacture be adjusted.

 transportation by the construction of a railroad
 between Blue Mountain, in the State of Alaba

 Whereas, the Confederate States are engaged in war, the extent of which has no parallel in modern history, and the President, by his message of the 2lth September, 1862, to the Congress, has recommended the importance of constructing q railroad between Blue Mountain, in Calhoun coun. ty, Alabama and Rome, in the State of Georgia, as means Of transportation needtul for the pub lie defence, and the construction of which is also recommended by the general in command of the Military District in which said road is situated :; therefore,

| WASHINGTON ON GIVING AID TO THE tNEYM l We find the following letter of c n. Wash ington i'll the Mssiss ppian. While Washing ton was at his headquarters in the year lISl, l he learned that the enemy had made a raid up the Potomac to Mouut Vernon, and demanded supplies from his relative. who had been left if charge of his effect; and to his in iignauon, that this person. to save his houses from the torch, his plant ttion from ruins, his slaves from capture, had paid the tribute required The re- b ke which he administered 10 the agent who thus comprised his honor, has been preserved, and is to be found in the volumes of his cor. respo rdence. It is pertinent to the present cri- sis and we reproduce it, as worthy of consider ation aal int lti )n:
 TO LUND WASHINGTON, AT MOUNT VERNON. New Windsor, 3Oth April, l7Sl.
 DEAR LUND,--l am very sorry to hear ot your loss. am little sorry to hear of my own :; but that which gives me most concern Is, that you should go on the enemy's vessels, and fur nsh them with refreshments. It would have been less painful circumstance to me to have heard, that in consequence oi your non-comph' ance with their request, they had burnt my house and laid the plantation in ruins. You onght to haave concdere your self as my rep, resentatve, and should have ref scted on the bal example of communicating with the enemy,
 
 them with d view to prevent c)nllagration.
 It was not in your power I ackno vledge, to prevent them from sending flag on shore, and you did right to meet it; and you should, in the same instant that the businss of 1t was unfold ed, have declared explicitly, that it was improp- CT for you to yield to the request; after which, if they had proceeded to help themselves by force, you could but have submitted; and, being unprovied for defense, this was to be preferred to feeble opposition, which only serves as pretext to burn and distroy.
 am thoroughly persuaded, that you acted from your best judgement and believe, tl t your desire to preserve my property, and rescue the buildings from impending dan ger, was your governing motive; but to % on boar their yes Sels, carry them refreshments co nmnne ,ottt c parcel of 1,lun1eriu1 srOundfeis ani request q ficor by asAia1 surrender of my aeyto3S, e ts crce3dingly WuaJed, ani 1t IS to be feared, viii ba precedent for others, and may become subject of an;madversion.
 l have no doubt of the enemy's intention to prosecute the plunderng plan they have begun; and unless q stnp can be put to 1t. bY the arri- val of a superior naval force, have as little doubt of it's ending in the loss of all my negroes, a1d n the destrnct on of my hous s; BUT 1 AM PREPARED FOR THE EVENT; und"r the prospect of which if you could deposit in a place of safe ty the most valuable and least bulky articles, it might be consistent with policy and prudence, and means of preserving them hereafter.- Such and so many things as are necessary, for comm )n and present use must be retained, and must run their chance through the fiery trial of this summer.
 Is not this example of Ger. Washington, wor- thy of imitation by us?

- Lincoln's proclamation peases none The New York Tribune complains that he leaves out Kentucky, Tennessee, Mssonri and the parishes in l.ousania, where the proclama tion could be carried into effect and negroes actually turned loose, while it operates only where n country has first to be conquered.
