CHARIEsTOwN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER IA, 1865.

The recommendation in the report of the Sec
retary Of the Navy for the enlargement OF the
navy yard, and different location and more
ample grounds for the Naval Academy, is fa-
vored. He also refers to the report of the Sec
rctary of War, which states that the volunteer
force has already been reduced by the discharge
Of over SOC, 900 troops. 1t is proposed to re-
duce the regular army TO $4,000 men, SO or
ganized that the ranks may be filled up to 3d.
600 men whenever required.
The report of the Secretary Of the Treasury
is commended, and it is urged that q" it is our
first duty TO prepare in earnest for the ever in
creasing evils of an irredcemable currency" and
by conducting business as nearly as possible on
system of cash payments or short credits, the
people viii be prepared to return to the stand
ard of gold and silver The duty is heartily
recognized of diminishing the amount Of paper
money now in circulation. The department of
Agriculture says the President is accomplishing
much.
The President next turns to the foreign rela-
tons of the country He refers to the nations
with which we are in friendlyalliance, and then
reviews the conduct of Great Britain, an. the
attempt of the British minister to justify the
action of his government towards this country
While he feels bound to declare his opinion
before Congress and the world that that justii-
cation cannot be sustained by the tribunal of
nations. vet he does not advise to any present
attempt at redress by acts of legislation. In re-
ation to the invasion Of some parts of America,
in the interests Of monarchy, the President says
"he relies upon the wisdom and justice of the
European powers to respect the system of nom
interference, which has so long been sanctioned
by time, and by its good results has approved
itself to both continents" "We should regard
it great calamity should any European power
challenge the American people to the defence
of Republicanism against foreign interference"
The correspondence with France and England
will, at proper time, be laid before Congress.
The message closes with an ealogy upon the
greatness of our country and upon the republi-
can model of government as exhibited in our
institutions, and solemnly invokes every citizen
of our favored land to aid in perpctuating our
own free constitution .-B Baltimore S,u,.

The Snow

OIL the snow, the beautiful snow,
Filling the sky and earth below; is
Over the housetops, over the street.
Over the heads CT the people you meet
= Dancing, nfa
Flirting,
Skimming along;
Beautiful snow it can do no wrong,
FLYING to kiss fair lady's cheek,
Clinging to lips in froicsome freak,
Beautiful snow from the Heaven above,
Pure as an angel, gentle as love-
Oh ! the snow, the beautiful snow,
How the fakes gather and laugh as they go
Whirlng about in the maddcning fun,
1t plays in its glee with every one.
Chasing,
Laughing,
Hurrying by;
1t lights on the face and it sparkles the eye!
And even the dogs, with bark and bound,
Snap at the crystals that eddy around;
The town is alive, and its heart in glow,
To welcome the coming of beautiful snow!
How wild the crowd goes swaying along,
Hailng each other with humOr and song
How the gay sledges, like meteors, fash by,
Bright for moment then lost to the eye:
Ringing,
Swinging,
Dashing they go,
Over the crust of the beautiful snow,
Snow so pure when it falls from the sky,
To be trampled in mud by the crowd rushing by,
To be trampled and tracked by the thousands o
feet, VGn-
Till it blends with the filth of the horrible street.

ALABAMA.-MoNTGoMER Nov. 22.-The
Message of Governor Parsons, delivered to the
Legislature, urges the adoption of the constitu-
tional amendment abolishing slavery, and the
passage of laws protecting the negro in his per-

ical rights in the Union. He offers special
code for the government of the negro, and re-
commends the adoption ola vagrant law bear
ing upon the whites and blacks alike. He also
recommends that provision be made for desti-
tute white and black persons.

SEVERAL Virginia papers are discussing the
feasibility of re-uniting the State by the alb
sorption of West Virginia. The subject has
come up in consequence of the attempt of the
State Of West Virginia to get possession OF the
counties of Berkeley and Jefferson, against the
wish of the inhabitants, by the same fictitious
process by which the State was originally di-
vided. If there is any legitimate process by
which the two Virginias can be consolidated
into one, Congress ought to give its assent

Elwood Young, author Of Might Thoughts"
a little before his marriage, 1881, was walking
in his garden in Welwyn, with his lady and
another, when servant came to tell him that
a gentleman wished to speak to him. !" Tell
him." said the Doctor, " | am too happily en-
gagged to change my situation" The ladies in
sisted that he should go, as his visitor was n
man of rank, his patron, and his friend; and
as persuasion had no effect on him, they took
him, one by the right hand and the other by
the left, and led him to the garden gate. flo
then laid his hand upon his heart, and in that
expressive manner, for which he was so re-
markable, uttered the following lines; .
Thus Adam looked when from the garden driven.
And thus disputed orders sent from heaven.
Like him, 60, but yet 10 20 am 10th; -
Like him GO, for angels drove US both.
