The Message and Proclamation.
We publish in this issue the third annual mes
sage of President Lincoln and also its proclama
tory appendix Owing to the fact that the
President has been laboring under severe illness
for some time past, the writing of tho message
was committed to the hands of another, and the
result is, tliat, for once, we have some decent
English over the signature of Abrabmi Lincoln.
The condition of our relations with foreign na
nations, is clearly stated and the message proceeds
in plain narrative style, until it finds tbo ne
gro in its path, when the writer imraodialely
falls into the darkest mazes of mystification and
sophistry. The argument is made that the eman
cipation pr#clamat:ou was a military necessity
and in support of it the allegation is made that
the "rebel borders are pressed still further back."
Now, tiiis is not true as to Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama and Louisiana. The ground recovered
by the Federal armies iu those States, was gain
ed before the proclamation was issued. New
Orleans, Fort Pulaski, liatteras Island nnd the
confederate strongholds in Wfctern Virginia,
were captured long before the plighted faith of
the President was openly violated. As to Ken
tucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee and Mis
sissippi, the key to the posession of those States
fell into the hands of the Federals when Fort
Donelson and Island No 10 were yielded up
by the confederates, which events occurred long
anterior to tho President's manifesto of emana
tion. The fall of Vicksburg and Chattanooga
wero but the consequences of the confodera to
defeats at Donelson and Island No 10. Tlow,
then, has the emancipation proclamation proved
a military benefit ? Neither the President nor
any of his champions arc able to answer this
question. In regard to tho constitutional right
of the Exocutive to issue tho emancipation proc
lamation, the message admits that no such right
exists. Let the reader mark the following pas
sage and note how Mr. LincolivktanJs self con
demned before the world:
"According to our political system, as a mat
ter of civil administration, the Government
IIAT) NO LAWFUI. POWER to effect emancipation
in any state."
In regard to the so-called proclamation of
amnesty appended to the message, wo can but
say that if the President fancies that the South
ern people will return to their allegiance under
the conditions named in that document he must
possess a very lively imagination. The idea
of requiring them to swear fealty to.every po
litical vagary of the Executive, the ctnancipa-'
tion proclamation included, and by so doing
td yield up their property as well as their
civil institutions, is simply preposterous. Had
lie only named the terms of submission to
the Constitution and laws and an uncondition
al pardon, there might have been some hope of
their return to the Union. But this proclama
tion will serve only to drive the Secession nail
deeper into the coffin of Peace and the war will
bo continued to an indefinite period. Mr.
Lincoln must withdraw the emancipation wedge
which he has been driving with his "negro
maul" into the very heart of the Union, and,
then, (and not till then) there may be somo
prospect of peaco and re-union.
will be a festival for tho liepefit

eve and Christmas day. On Christmas eve,
the Grand Jury room of the Court House will
contain tables with the various articles of con

A Nut for Political_Preaohers.
W. H. Chanuing, df Washington City, a 77-
mtarian preacher, has been" elected Chaplain
to the JTnional House of Representatives, lie. 1
was elected by the Abolition members, the "Dem
ocrats voting for Bishop Hopkins of the Ep's
copal Church. Now what do the Trinitarian
preachers of Abolitionism say to this* They
tell us in their doctrinal sermons that U nitar
ianism is infidelity and yet the men wlwtn their
prayers anJ sermons have helped to i/?nd to
Congress, endorse Unitarian ism ami by their
example recommend their constitu iiis to do
likewise. Have they no tongues to Deprove the
wickeduess of their.Congressman in thus ele
vating to the sacred desk what they de/.iounce
as infidelity? Rev. E. W. Kirby, of the M. E.
Church and all other Abolition preachers in
Bedford County who hold that it is ii'i accot d
ance with the Christian religion to discuss poli
tics ill the pulpit, will plousc enlighten their
congregations in regard to this TurMter. No
dodging, now, gentlemen, but let us know, in
plain words, your opinion concerning the elec
tion of a Unitarian over a Trinitarian minister
as Chaplain to Congress. We Tio.vo often told
you that New England is striving to force its
religion as well aa its politic* upon the people
of the other portions of the Union. You see,
now, how this asicßftin is verified. Unitarian
ism is the religion of the New England agitators
and as they have succeeded in misleading you
'with their Abolition Jack o'tho Lantern, they
expect yim also to foil aw their religions Igius
fa.tu.vs , Unitarianisuu Abolitionism and infi
delity go hand in br.nd. VVbo was Theodore
Parker, who are Beecher, Cheever, Greely,
Phillips ? Accord rngjto your creeds, in/ lets, ev
ery one of them? And yet you, who profess
to bo evangelical a. d orthodox, help the agents
of these men into place and power, and thus
enable them to 'ornaJ down your own religion
and set up in Us stead what you t n ll the people
is infidelity. Now, pray, be consistent! Either
cease to pTe.nch against Unitarianisro, or reprove
your friends in Congress for i ndorsing it.—

Honor to Salmon P. Chase for the redemp
tion of our treasury, moneyless and bottomless
when he took it in hand.-J7Aoy Worship's Thanks
givirtg Speech.
The following comment on the above, is froir
the pen of Abraham Lincoln Esq.: "Received,
during the year, into the Treasury of the U
nited Slates, FROM LOANS §770.682,361.57!"
(see President's Message).
That's the way Salmon P. Chase puts a "bot
tom" to the Treasury and prevents it from re
maining "moneyless."
Let Salmon be honored, because like many
other "confidence men," he can borrow !
A third reason for thanksgiving is that Prov
idence has called such men to the head of our
National and State Governments as Abraham
Lincoln and And'w G. Curtin.— Ebony's Thanks
giving Speech.
Yes, let the Lord be thanked, that whereas
under James Buchanan and \Vm. F. Packer,
VQJ had peace, plenty and prosperity, una. r
Abraham Lincoln and Andrew G. Curtin, we
have war, want, misery andcrimo!

A PILL CONVENTION.
Let every man and woman in the world who
suffers with Piles reflect and trace back the or
igin of their difficulties, and it will Ire found that
ninety-nine out of every hundred have taken
largo quantities of drastic Pills for 1 lie cure of
Costiveness, Indigestion, Constipation, &e.—
Those who suffer from Piles may truly charge
the cause of their suffering to these worthless
pills. If you would ho rid of your piles take
Dr. Radway's Pills; they nro the only purga

safety; they cure Cottiveness. Indigestion, Liv

gold head of American coin standard, with a
silver-mounted,-jCsso-hardened steel ferrule—
the head soaring£h~e neat inscription ,: M. Strouse
to A. IT. Coffroth, 18Gd." The occasion was
graced by the pros -nee of a number of distin
guished gentlemen; and being a surprise, tho
happy allusions of esteem and affection in the
speeches were "delicately" appreciated- Mr.
Coffroth, in his reception of tlio stick, was for
cible, as well in the gracefulness of his attitude
and the earnestness of his words, as in the ex
treme modesty with which ho acknowledged the
compliments of tho donor. The usual inspir

of the States there under; and that j will, in

and that I will, in like manner, abid by and
i faithfully support all proclamations of'the Pres

I reference to slaves, so long and so far as not

! The persons excepted from the benefits of
the foregoing provisions are all who are, or
shall have been, civil or diplomatic officers or
agentsof the so-called Confederate Government;
all who have left judicial stations under the
United States to aid the rebellion ; all who are,
or shall have been, military or naval efficers of
said so-called Confederate Government above
the rank of colonel in the army, or of lieuten
ant in the navy; all who left seatsin the Unit
ed States Congress to aid the rebellion ; all who
resigned commissions in the army ot r.nvy of
the United States, and afterwards akivl the re

( er way in treating colored persons or white per
! sons in charge of such, otherwise than lawfully
as prisoners of war, and which persons may
have been found in the United States service
as soldiers, seamen, or in any other capacity.
And I do further proclniun, declare, nndmakn
known, that whenever, iu any of tho States of
Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, 'Tenn
essee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Caro
lina, and North Carolina, a number of persons,
net loss than one-tenth in number of the votes
cast in such State at tho Presidential election
of the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and sixty, each having taken the oath
aforesaid and not having since violated it, and
being a qualified voter by the election law of
the State existing immediately before the so
called act of secession, and excluding ail others,
shall re-establish a State government which
shall be. republican, and in nowise contravening
said oath, such shall be recognized as the true
government of the State, and the State shall
receive thereunder the benefits of the constitu
tional provision which declares that "The Unit
ed States shall guaranty to every State in this
Union a republican form of government, and
shall protect each of them against invasion;
a.id on application of the Legislature, or the
Executive, (when the Legislature cannot be
conv ened,) against domestic violence."
Anil I do further proclaim, declare, and'make
known .'.hat and provision which may be adopt
ed bv .such State government in relation to the
freed poopfc of such State, which shall recog
nize and .declare their permanent freedom, pro
vide for iheir education, and which may yet he
consistent, .as a temporary arrangement, with
their present condition as a laboring, landless,
and homeless e.'.ass, will not he objected to by
the national E.\ ecutive. And it is suggested
as not improper, that, in constructing a loyal
State government it.' any State, the name of the
State, tho boundary, the subdivisions, the con
stitution, and the gent'ffd code of laws, us bo
fore the rebellion, be maintained, subject only
to the modifications made necessary by the
conditions 1 ..reinbefore stated, and such, oiners,
ii any, not contravening said .conditions, and
which may be deemed expedient Ny those fram
ing the new State government.
To avoid misunderstanding, it may be proper
to say that this proclamation, so far as' it relates
to Stale governments, has no raforenoe U* States
wherein loyal State governments have ell tho
while been maintained. Ana for the same rea
son, it may be proper to further say, that wheth
er members sent to Congress from nny State
shall lie admitted to seats constitutionally, rests
exclusively with the respective Houses, and not
to any extent with the Executive. And still
further, that this proclamation is intended to
present the people of the States wherein the
national authority has been suspended, and loy
al State governments have been subverted, a'
mode in and by Which the national authority
and loyal State governments may bo re-establish
ed within said States, or in any of them : and,
while the mode presented is tho best the Execu
tive Can suggest, with his present impressions,
it must not he understood that nv other possi
ble mode would be acceptable.

Billed by a ball in tlie forehead, whilst heroical
ly scaling the walls of fort Wagner. This in
formation comes from one of his comrades in
arms who a few moments before the fatal ball
j struck him received a drink of water from his
canteen. His grave though unknown, isnot un
wept—His body fills a patriot's gruve and his
Spirit a christians and a heaven. The
true patriot is the true christian, for ho who
is a traitor to his country is a traitor to his Cod.
Air. Wnshabaugh was ono among the first to
enlist in tho cause of his country. He first
entered tho ttireo months' service, after it ex
pired, he immediately enlisted again for the war
but "lu lias fought his last fight, he sleeps, his
sleep, and God's trump shall wake him to an
inheritance of brighter glory than earth a.To.als"
—"the inheritance incorruptible, undcliled, and
that fadeth not away." Gallantly did he on
that bloody field uphold the honor of his coun
try's flag, and for it lie, with all others who
have died like him, will receive the homage of
his country's gratitude. .His memory shall ev
er be green in the hearts cf mother, father, sis-
I ters, brothers, and friends.
Nearly five years ago, duringase'ries of meet
ings held in the Lutheran church of Bedford,
he was awaked and as we believe led to Christ,
lie united in that church with God's people and
gave evidence in his life, that he desired to a
dorn his profession by a consistant walk and
conversation. Hie companion in the tent—the
Bible, a gift of a devoted sister, was found in
his knapsack, showing it was not unused- Tho
parents, relations aud friends of our young pa
triot hero, need not mourn as those who have
no hnpo. Mother, you first gave your son to
your God and then to your country'.- care. Your
son, brother and friend has fallen in a good
cause, fallen as a martyr to the cause of his
country. Let us think of him. not as dead but
as living ! Living amidst tho pure, peaceful and
blissful scenes of Heaven, and waiting to greet
us, when our last battle has been fought, and
we go up to receive the crown.
