The Tribune Youches for the genuiness
OF the following letter, which intinstes
that the city Of Charleston is minded with
powder:
CHARLEsToN, Nov. 9.-Dear Cousin:
Fred has conseted at last to let me coma
to Macon, 80 you may expect me in q very
few days.
The other day Yankee shell exploded
Just around the corner from our house,
tearing a building to pieces and setting
two others on FIRE. Nobody was Injured
as sll the buildings were vacated some
weeks ago. l do not believe there are two
hundred ladies in town who are able to
get away, but Fred said we should not
leave while we had roof over us, but now
that he sees the danger we are in he is
glad TO hurry US off.
Most Of the families here have gone to
Dorchester, Summerville, and Wstterboro,
and every house in those places is crowd
ed. Nesrly every room is filed with beds,
and every bed has to accommodate three
or four persons. So much for wer, but
would willingly live in sty the remsind-
er Of my life, If it would keep the Yankee
miscresnts out Of our city.
A majority Of our people have left most
Of their furniture in their houses, expect
ing in few weeks to return to them, but
of course they know, that if the Yankees
take the city, their houses and furniture
will ell be destroyed.
General Besuregsrd caused information
to reach sll that il he fnds 1t impossible
to hold the city he will leave it a mass Of
ruins. No one will complain Of this, as

than the first of February.
The Postmaster General, in a commune
cation, says, after great labor the volun-
teer recruiting service under the Presi-
dents call of 0ctcbes 18th is fairly in pro-
gress, letters, sll dated between the goth
and oath of December, from the Superin-
tendents Of the recruiting service in the
sixteen States are, in the main, very en-
coursging as to the prospect Of getting
large number Of recruits by voluntary en-
listments. Several ct the States were in
fair way to raise the quotas assigned to
them. The Act, approved December 23d,
1868, forbidding after January 5;h, the
payment to volunteers Of all bounties ex-
cept the hundred dollars authorized by the
act Of 1861, was not known at the time,
these favorable reports were made to
me. have no doubt that the effect Of
that act will be to check, if it does not
stop, enlistments.
or the hundred dollar bounty provided
by the act Of 1861, but twenty-five dol
lsre can be paid in advance, the seventy
five being due only after three years Of
service. It took some time after October
18th to get the people rorsed TO the sub
ject of volunteering. They are now most
earnestly engaged in it, and have reports
for October and November and part Of
December, showing that 1853 men have
been enlisted, and the daily average of
enlistments is increasing. Under these cir
cumstsnces, Irospectfully suggest the pro-
priety Of reconsideration Of the act for
bidding bounties after January 9th.
These communications were reported to
the Committee en- Military Affairs.
Senator Wilson'S new enrolment bill,
introduced today, exempts those who are
disabled, and also makes the
following exemptions: The Vice Presi-
dent, the Judges Of the Courts, the heads Of
the Executive Departments and the Gov
ernors Of States. 1t receives as substi-
tutes only those who are not liable to the
draft, and a penalty Of one hundred to one
dollars fine and thirty days to
six months imprisonment is provided in
the punishment of enrolling officers, who
are engaged directly or indirectly in pro-
curing substitutes.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS
:cIAL MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.


WASHINGTON, January 5.
The following is the message sent to
Congress to-day by the President:
By Joint resolution OF your honorable
bodies, approved December 23d, 1868, the
paying Of bounties to veteran volunteers
as now practiced ty the War Department
is TO the extent of three hundred dollars in
each case prohibited after the 9TH Of Jan
usry. 1 transmit for your consideration
communication from the Secretary Of War
accompanied by one from the Provost Mar
shal General to him, both relating TO the
subject above mentioned. l earnestly re-
commend that the law be so modified as to
allow bOunties to be paid as they now are,
at least until the ensuing first day Of Feb
rusry.
1 am not without anxiety lest appear
importunste in thus recalling your stten.
ton to q subject upon which you have SO
recently scted, and nothing but deep
conviction that the public interest demands
il could induce me to incur the hazard Of
being misunderstood on this point. The
Executive approval was given by me to
the resolution mentioned, and it is now by
q closer attention and a fuller knowledge
mend o reconsideration Of the subject.
LSignedj ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Washington, January 8, 1864.
The Secretary of War in letter accom-
psnyiDg the message, says no one seems
TO doubt the necessity Of increasing the
military force for speedy termination Of
the rebellion. And although much differ
ence Of opinion exists in respect to the
system Of raising troops by volunteers and
payment Of bounties, and the system of
raising an adequate force by draft, yet
two things are certain. First, that what
ever may be the weight Of argument or
the influence Of individual opinion, large
portion Of the people in every State prefer
the method Of contributing their proper
tion of the military force by bounty to
volunteers rather thsa by draft.
I'd. That veteran soldiers who have be-
come Injured to service, even when paid
bounty, constitute cheaper force than
raw recruits or drafted men without
bounty.
The information received by the War
Department from the armies in the field,
prior to the passage of the resolution Of
December last, indicated that q very large
proportion Of the forces now in the service
would have cheerfully re- enlisted for three
years under terms authorized By order Of
the Department, and such enlistments have
been checked and will in a great measnre
be put to an end by the restriction 1m-
posed by the scticn of Congress. It Is BE-.
lieved If any limitation should be imposed
upon the payment Of bounties to encour.

a policy in his message TO Congress. He
has even refrained, except in two or three
particulars, from Recommending measures
