THE PITTSBURGH POST: FRIDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 11, 1863. THE PRESIDENT S MESSAGE This document, evidently the work of the President himself* is as Batiafactory in Borne respects as any of the conserva tives could have expected. On the ques tion of reconstruction the President seems much perplexed; he gives a plan but ac com panics it with thefbllowing comment; k ‘The objection to a premature presenta tion of a plan by the National Executive, consists m the danger of committants in points which coold be more safely left to farther developments. Care has been taken to so shape the document as to avoid embarrassment from this source. In saying that on certain terms, certain classes will be pardoned with their rights restored, it is not said that other classes on other terms, will never be included. In saying that a reconstruction will be accept ed if presented in a specified way, it is not eaid that it will never be accepted in any other wav.” From these remarks we infer that the President is anxious for a restoration of the Union, and ia willing to bring it about in the speedir at manner. The last dollar and last man fanatics, who insist upon the war continuing until slavery ie en tirely extirpated will not fin#comfort in his suggestions. Mr. Charles Sumner’s plan of reducing the Statess to territories, or conquered provinces, finds no favor, as yet, with the Chief Executive. If Congress would proceed ii* the same spirit, that breathes through the message, aud by tjieir speeches and enactments show the people of the South that wo are anx ious bacx into the Union, we would sooa. see the rainbow of peace But will they doit? Will not the radical; threalfn'-nutd out then ii.fam ous designs against tlfe people of the South —designs_and which enable Gen. Leo to isBire*'Bnch effective appeals as as the following to his armjj when ex pecting Meads: ! + m '• - “DeADQI ARTERS ARfcY iSoRTBERX V 111 ginia.

B. E. Leic, (Genera! But, hoping for the best, we adopt the following remarks of the Intelligencer “When we reflect bow largply the meas ures that shall be ad.-pi.d by tbe present Congress must und to give color to our national destiny in all time to come, it, is safe to say that rarely has any body of ■gmnJaiftfrrLPfliHfid to ,a£t,asj he depositaries issues involving so much of good or evil to this great people. Convened under auspices which give so much of dignity and solemnity to Lheir deliberation, the Representatives of the Loyal States and people are now called, if ever men were so called, to put aside passion and preju dice, that they may keep a single eye to the welfare of the nation, and that, dig charging all their duties under a profound sense of their responsibility to God and the country, they may be able by their wise counsels and prudent measures to restore union and peace throu ghoul o borders, and transmit the blessings free constitutional Government to our altest posterity. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? I The Commercial, yesterday, reLurned to tae discussion of “Nepotism," and after demonstrating tbat the monopoly of pow er, by certain families, was, and is, the cause of the decline and fall of all ere atioc, besides being the destroyer of the spiritual and 'tempura! powers ol the Popes, our learned contemporary closes as follows: . “Well may intelligent men ask the ques tion, la the elevation of a particular fam Uy to position and power the only ol ject of men’s ambition, civilization and conventional or governmental power? ‘We shall regret if onr lucubrations should lead our readers to suppose that they are intended for no present andprtss ing purpose. It is the alarming and shameless increase of this evil in our ow day and country that induces us to cal public attention to an evil which pnb opinion must rectify " Oar object In copying these brief para graphs is, simply to inqnire ol our neigh bors what they mean, and what they are all about? To what particular family does it allude? To the question, “is the eJeva tipn of a particular family to power the only object of men’s ambition, ’’ we emphatically and indignantly answer no! and reqneet our neighbor to be explicit in exposing the dart intrigues of the cnnßpi ring family to whom it alludes. Let us see where the lurking treason is, that we may help the Commercial in dragging the monster forth. The Commercial, ,a its opening article ou “Nepotism," alluded to the tali of the Tarquins of ancient Borne. Let it imitate the example of Lucius Junius who seized upon the outrage on Lgcrktu for driving the tyrants hence. Like that noble Roman, let oar neighbor watch and wait. and become the saviour of his ebuntr ‘ J ' Jt the time is not propitious to strike, let our learned contemporay, like Lucius Junius, lie low until the proper moment arrives, “Then strike till the last armed foe expires," *c., but in the meantime, let an impatient people know the particu lar femiiy alluded to. W e are burning with desire to find them oat. COE. IPKIBBIN Hkapq’rs Dept of the Omueiu.and Chattanooga, Tenn.,Nov. lith, 1 fn;:; General Orders, ) No. 276 / Colonel J. C. McKibbij*, Additional A id-de-Camp, having reported in obedi «nce to Special Orders No. 1 1, of Novem ber 14th, from Headpuarters Military Division of the Mississippi, is assigned to duty on tfe Staff of the Msjor General Commanding the Department, to whom he wilTreport in person. i By command of Maj. Ges. G. H. Thomas Wm.-D. Whippljc, Brig. Gm. and Asst, Adjt. Gen. EOMUSTKEKT’S BETBEfVT Eastern Tennessee, (says the New York Herald,) so desperately struggled for, is now, and we may well hope definitely Bafe. General Longstbbbi-, if he is still within the limits ot that State, is anxious only about the safest way to get ont of it. Bcbnside's noble struggle, which the whole country has walcbeffwith such intense in terest, terminated successfully upon the arrival ot General Sherman with reinforce ments on the 4th instant, and the retreat of Longstrekt on the same night. Longstreet’s line of retreat is up the valley of the Holston, which he may fol low into Virginia. His in&ntryandtrans portation follow the valley on the south side of the river, which thus coverß his left. His left is also covered and by the Clinch Mountains, the gaps in which his cavalry will hold or of struct. General t osTEK was at Tazewell, on Longsteet's flank, on the 6th, and his cavalr, on that day had a fight with the enemy's cavalry in one of the passes. His dispatch indicates his intention to use his cavalry to the ut most and if he does so he will donbtleßß in flic! severe punishment on the enemy. Sherman’s cavalry is reported to be on the south side of the Holßton ; and, though the country is broken and bad for cavalry, it is not improbable that this en ergetic officer may be able to hoid the en emy e iiilantry uniil his own can come up, when we reaaonably anticipate the de struction or Rapture of L6ng.strket\s en Lire ferc . On Monday the President auuuunced thfl retreat of IjOnustrekt by proclaim* tion, and called npon the people “to run der special homage and gratitude to Al mighty God for this great advancement c-f the national cause. ” From these words we may gather the importance that the' Pre-iident attaches to this great suc cess, and we think that he does not overrate H. B/ Longstriet's laiinre we the rebellion compelled to relinquish iis linal hold upon the last grand outpost by wtiicb r, might have retained con trol over the interior and held the upper country thui forms so grand a part of the aoumern States. Now it is restricted to the o 1l that follows the line ot the Ailun licirom Richmond to Mobile, shut up between the mountains and the sea, flank ed on ihe one band by the Allegheny a;J the Puuitnrrland Mountains, th6t brittle wi'n in.: Northern bayonets, and on the other by tne ocean, that teems with North- ern gu.ibonu.

An btiempt will be made at the piv.6« nt seasiou ot Congress to repeal the throe hundred dollar exemption < iauae iu ibe Conacripuou Act. We have objected to fhe rich nt the expense of the |moV~"Wg flunk it ought to bo one hundred dollars,or perhaps a smaller sum. that would place it Within the reach of all. Hut we are up po- • d m the repeal if the object ,s to have no ■ ommutation price fixed at all. If it car,not he reduced, let the thre-e-nundred dollar clause stand as it i„. A repeal of it absolutely would allow substitutes to fix auy p.-.ce they choose, and would work most disastrously to the people. All countries, even monarchical, that Cutiftc: iplions, fix a pecuniary limit ;ui hubhinu.es, ami if we adopt their law w, ought io follow their practice. We hci.. eveiy Democrat aud conservative lru-niLer wdi vote against the repeal of the thr. e hundred dollar clause if the proposition is not to rednee it. The tact is, the Admiu stra tion. with the sum raised by money, can induce a larger number of the three years volunteers to re enlist than the ser vices of the conscripts they thus w ,md get by the repeal would be worth. NVIPPLIES POK THE PRISONERS AT kichnokd' Assistant Surgeon 0. Wriuht, of il, t Thirty fith Ohio, and W. s. UoSa.-k 'says the N. Y. Herald,, have b, released from Richmond. From informa non toinuii...,cased by them and r.-ceivcd through other sources, it is ascertained that thesupplies forwarded for the Onion prisoners are delivered to them and that their condition has been much alleviated The prisoners, now obtain §lO in rebel notes for one dollar in greenbacks, while the rate in the street is from twelve to fifteen tor one. Twenty dollars ir. notes are paid for one in gold. Persons send ing supplies for the prisoners by fl a({ 0 f truce should send only blankets, clothing and snbstantial food, as delicacies, except for the sick are not beneficial, and the rebel transportation is limited and taxed I to the utmost to forward acual necessa ries. The Sanitary Commission are now sending dei-.cscies only for nse in the has- I pitßls, the bulk of their consignment be mg oi the character indicated. The ar rangements tor the distribution of supplies forwarded al. said to b: very good and the distributee, as a general thing, made in good faith. rBEASI’BER'N H£JPOBT We are indebted to the Collector of this port, Capt. Batcheior, for a D early copy ol Secretary Csask’s Report. It was de livered and read yesterday at noon to Congress. We have room bat tor a few extracts this morning interest ,ng to o nr people Spirits, Oil and Tobaceo. TBe Commissiouer oi Interna! Revenue recommends tin increase of the tax on bank note circulation to two and two-fifthß per cent. : an increase ot the duty on dis tilled spirits ot sixty cents per gallon ■ an increase of the duty on tobacco to twenty cents per pound ou leaf, and from 6ve to twelve cents, according to quality, on rnan nfactored ; a duly of ten cents per gallon on crude petroleum j a duty of two rents per pound on cotton ; the repeal oi the tobacco and petroleum drawbacks : and various other changes of the internal rev enue laws, designed to angment the re ceipts from this source. In the particular recommendations just mentioned the Sec retary tally concurs and commends all his suggestions tc- careful attention The enactment of such laws as will secnre an I increase of the internal revenue to the amount originally estimated, of one hun dred and fifty.millions a year, is required by the strongest considerations of public policy. r Clreenbaeks. ■The limit prewapbeej hj Jaw United States notes has Wn reached ■ Ih- ■ rttary thinks it clearly inex pedient to increase the amount. When circulation exceeds the legitimate require ments for real payments and exchanges, no addition to its volume will increase itß value. On the contrary, such addition tends inevitably to depreciation , and de preciation, it addition be continued, wiT find Its only practical limit in the utter ffo ™iMsness of the augmented maBS. When Congress authorized the creation o debt, to a certain extent, in the form of United States notes, and impressed on these notes the qualities of a circu lating medium, its action was justified by the disappearance of coin in consequence ot the suspension of specie payments ; by the necessity of providing a medium jn which taxes could be collected, loanß received, and payments made ; and by the obvious expediency of provid ing that medium in the form of national issues instead of resorting to the paper of banks Under the circumstances its ac tion was wise and necessary ; but it was equally wise aud necessary to limit the extent of the issues by (he necessity which demanded them. They were wanted to fall the vacuum caused by the disappear ance of coin aud to supply the additional demands created by the increased number and variely of money payments. Con gress believed that four hundred millions would suffice for these purposes, and there fore limited issues to that Bum. The Secretary proposes no change of this limitation, aud places no reliance, therefore, on aDy increase of resources from increase of circulation. Additional loans m this mode would, indeed almost certainly prove illusory ; for dimitfished value could hardly fail to neutralize in creased amount. Sufficient circulation having been al ready provided, the Government must now borrow like any other employer 1 1 capital temporarily requiring -more than idcome will supply, andTelyfor the credit which will secure advantageous loans upon good faith, industrial activity, accumulated though not immediately available capital and satisfactory provision for punctual payment of accruing interest and ultimate reimbursement of principal. The Negroes in Mississippi The Mississippi papers publish the ful lowing to show the action of Gov. Clark m regard to the arrest and bringing away, by order ol the military authorities, of- all negroes whemn d Dger of falling into the hands cfjthe enemy. The dispatch of Jeff. Davis shows what is the order of the Richmond Government in snch cases: Executive Office, Columbus. i Nov. 21 1863. / Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Repree< ntaiives f was informed on the ltsth iust., (bat the Confederate authorities were appre hending negroes in the Northwestern part ot ihe Slate.

The whole amount of the Loan authorized is JMmi ‘ nB of Dollars. Neatly Four Hundred Millie*, bay. been al ready subscribed for and paid Into tbe Treasury, mostly months. The large demand from abroad, and the rapidly increasing dome demand far use al the basis for circulation by. National Banking Associations now organizing in all parti of the country, will, in a very short period, absorb die Wane*.. Sales have lately ranged ftouKfen to fifteen millions weekly, frequently exceeding three millions daily, and as It is well known that the Secretary of the Treasnary has ample and unfailing resonroel in the Duties on Imports and Internal Revenues, and'in the issue of the lntor eet-bearing Legal Tendey Treuumary Notes, it is almost a certainty that he will riot find it neces sary, for a.ang time to come, to seek a market for any ether long or permanent Loans, THE IN TEREST AND principal of which are payable in gold. Prodenoo and self-i.terrst must foroe the minds of those contemplating the formation of National Banking Associations, as well as the mrnds of ail who have idle money on their hands, to the prompt conclusion that they should lose no time in subscribing to - thiamoßt popular Loan. It will soon be beyond their reach, and advance to a handsome premium, as was the result with the Seven Thirty" (Laf,n, when it was all sold and could no longer be subscribed for at par. I* la a six per Cent. Loan, tbe Inter est and Principal payable in Coin, thus yielding over Nine per Cent per annum at the present rate of premium on ooin The Government requires all duties on imports to be paid in Ooin ; those dudes have for a long time past amounted to over a Quarter of a Mil lion of D >liars daily, a sum nearly three times great* r than that requited in the payment of the interest on all the 5-20’s and other permanent Loans. So that it Is hoped that the surplus Ooin in the Treasury, at no distant day. will enable the United Stater to resume gpeoie payments upon all liabilities. Tha Loan ia oalled 6 20 from the fret that whilst the Bonds may run for 20 years, yet the Government has a right to pay them off in Gold at par, at any time after 5 yearn. Tbe Interest Is paid b«Ofyearly, viz: on the first days of November and May. Subscribers ,oan have. Coupon Bonds, whioh m payable to bearer, and are $5O. $lOO, $5OO and $,000; or Registered Bonds of same denom inations, aad in addition, S:,COO and. tHMXXL For Banking purposes and for investments of xmsi-moni,, Registered Bondsareprefcrable- Thesoo 20 s cannot be taxed by State*, dries towns cr oounries, and the Government tax on them is only ooe-and-a-half per cent., 6n the amount of itoome. when the inoome of the holder exoeeds Six Hundred dollars per annum; all Other investments, snoha; inoomefrom Mortga, ges.
