TV.e: Expenses,
There is, saga the Harrisburg State
Sentinel, an evident disposition on the
part of some to harp on the expenses of
the war, and if possible, to depreci
ate the national currency. They must
or at least ought to know, that every
note of complaint they utter, is design
ed to discourage the people, to render
them averse to prosecuting the war
and to weaken the power of the gov
ernment. But what are taxes? What
are houses and lands, or any other
possession, without the protection af:
forded by the government? If the
rebels gain their object, title deeds
would be worth no more than the
parchment on which'they are written.
The question comes to the hind-hold
er; whether he will cheerfully aid the
government by all the tax necessary
to crush the rebellion, or whether he
will refuse the tax and lose his all. If
they with to surrender all their prop
erty and Ora their personal liberty,
andlifeitself unto usurpers . and
_ty
rants more haughty and relentless
than Nero, more aprieioas and soul
less than Bobespiere, then let them
grumble at the taxes and labor to de
stroy public confidence in the nation
al currency. Let them prate about
gold and silver; let them labor to em
barrass the government and soon they
will have nothing left to he taxed. If
they want a picture of the awful
scene that lies beyond the dark cur
tain of rebel success, let them contem
plate that which France presented zn
1794, when the taint of suspicion was
an introduction to the guillotine, when
the Christian Sabbath was abolished,
when all the restraints of religion were
thrown off and when all the moorings
of Christianity were abandoned; when
the lying declaration wee blazing, in
goilded letters over the gateway to
the grave, that "death is an everlast
ing sleep.' Let the people of this
country weigh the profit and the loss
of a country saved or lost, in the bal
ance with "tbe expenses of the war"
and the consequent taxation; and then
with a full knowledge of all the migh
ty interests involved in our national
struggle, they will hurl back an in
dignant rebuke to those who sound
the notes of alarm, on account of the
cost of the war.
It is, therefore, the duty of every
patriot to prefer the national curren
cy to encourage the cheerful payment
of-taxes, the enlistment of soldiers, and
all else that will strengthen the gov
ernment in its efforts to crush the re
bellion.

The 'President's Address at Balti-
1110T0.
The remarks of the'President at the
great Maryland Fair, in Baltimore,
on the evening of Monday 18th,. hav
ing been sent forth with some imper
fections,. we now print and subjoin a
corrected copy. It is unnecessary
that we should attempt to interpret
that which so aptly and eharactaristi
catty explains itself: But be who
reads these forcible sentence's must
summon to his recollection the place
in which they.were delivered, the e
vents to which they so appositely re
for, and the great questions with
which they deal and almost decide.
LAl:qui AND GENTLEMEN :" Calling
to mind that we are in Baltimore, we
cannot fail to note that the world
moves. Looking upon these many
people assembled here to servo, as
they best may, the2 : soldiera of the Un
ion, it occurs at once that three years
ago the same soldiers could not so
much as pass through Baltimore. The
change from then till now is both
great and gratifying. Blessings
the'brave men who have wrouglittbe
change, and the fair women whostrive
to reward them for it.
But Baltimore seggeste .more than
could happen within Baltimore. The .
changeiwitbin Baltimore is part only
of a far wider change. When the war
began,' three years ago, neither party,
nor any man, expected it would last
till now. Each looked for the end, in
some way, long ere to day. Neither
did any anticipate that domestic sin.
very would be much affected by the
war. But hero we are ; thti war has
not ended, and slavery has been much
affected—how much needs not now to
- be recounted.. So true is it that men
proposes and God disposes.
But we can see the past though we
may not claim to have directed it;
and seeing it, in this case, we feel more
hopeful and confident for the future.'
The world has never bad a geed
definition of the word liberty, and. the
American people just now are much
in want of one. We all declare for
liberty; but in using the same word I
we do not all mean the -. Fame thing.
With some, the word liberty may
moan for each man to do as he pleas
es with himself and the product of his
labor, while with others the same
word may mean for some men to do
as they please with other men and
the product of other men's labor. Here
are two, not only different, but incom
patible things, called by the same
name, liberty. And it follows that
each of the things is, by the respective
parties, called by two different and
incompatible names—liberty and tyr
anny.
The shepherd drives the wolf from
the sheep's throat, for which the sheep
thanks the shepherd as a liberator,
while the wolf denounces him for the
same act ae the destroyer of liberty,
especially as the sheep was a black
one. Plainly, the sheep, and the wolf
are not agreed upon a definition of the
word liberty; and precisely the same
difference prevails to day among us
human creatures, even in the North,
and all professing to love liberty.
Hence, we behold the processes by
which tbdusands aro daily passing
from under the yoke of bondage, bail
ed by some as the advance of' liberty,
and bewailed by others as the destruc
tion of all liberty. Recently, as it
seems, the people of Maryland have
been doing something to define liberty
and thanks to them that, in what they
hive done, the wolfs dictionary has
been repudiated.
It is not very becoming for one in
my position to make speeches at great
length; there is another subject upon
'which I feel that I ought to say a word.
A painful rumor, true, I fear, has reach.
ed us of the massacre, by the rebel
forces at Fort Pillow, in the west end
of Tennessee, on the Mississippi river,
of some three hundred colored soldiers
and white officers, who bad just been
overpowered by their assailants.
There eeems to .be some anxiety in
the public mind whether the Govern
ment is doing its duty to the colored
soldier,and to the service, at this point.
At the beginning of the war, and for
some time, the use of colored troops
was not contemplated; and bow the
change of purpose was wrought I will
not now take time to explain. Upon
a clear conviction of duty, I resolved
to turn that element of strength to
account; and I am responsible for it to
the American people, to the Christian
world, to history, and on my final
account to grad. Havitig determined
to uce theAtegro as a soldier, there is
no way but to give him all the pro
tection given to any other soldier.
The difficulty is not in starting the
principle, but in practically applying
it. It is a mistake to suppose the Gov
ernment is indifferent to this matter,
or is not doing the best it can in re
gard to it. We do not know that a
colored soldier; or white Officer com
manding colored soldiers, has been
massacred by the rebels when made
prisoner. We fear it, believe it, I may
say, but do not know it. To take the
life ofone of their prisoners on the as
sumtion that they murder ours, when
it is short of certainty that they do
murder ours, might be too serious, too
cruel a mistake. We are having the
Ft Pillow affair investigated and such
investigation may show conclusively
how the truth is. If, after all that has
been said, it shall turn out that there
was no massacre at Fort Pillow, it
will be almost safe to say there has
been none, and will be none elsewhere.
If there has been the massacre of
three hundred there, or even the tenth
part of three hundrod,it will be eonclu.
invely proven; and being so proven,
the retribution shall as surely come.
It will be matter of grave considera
tion in what exact course to apply the
retribution : but in the supposed case.
it must come.— Wash. Chronicle.

Important Letter from the President
Tliti following noble letter from
President Lincoln appears in a corre
spondence published in the Frankfort
(Kentucky) Commonwealth :
'Executive Mansion, Washington,
April G. Bodges, Esq., Frank-
fort, Ky.—My dear Sir—You ask me
to put in writing the substance of what
I verbally said the other day, in your
presence, to Governor Bramlette and
Sehator Dixon. It was about as fol
lows:
'I am naturally anti-slavery. If
slavery is not wrong,nothing is wrong.
I cannot remember when I did not so
think and feel. And yet, I have nev
er understood that the Presidency
conferred upon me an unrestricted
right to act officially upon this judg
ment and feeling. It was in the oath
I took, that I would to the best . of my
ability, preserve, protect, and defend
the Constitution of the United States.
I could not take the office without ta
king the oath. Nor was it my view,
that I might take an oath to get pow
er, and break the oath, in using . the
power. I understood, too, that, in or
dinary civil administration, this oath
even forbade me, to practically indulge
my primary, abstract judgment on
the moral question of slavery. I had
publicly declared this many times, and
in many ways. Arid. I aver that, to
this day, I have done 'no official act in
mere deference to My 'abstract judg
ment and feeling ow slavery.
I did understand, however, that my
oath to preserve the Constitution to
the best of my ability, imposed upon
me the duty of, preserving, by every
indispensable means, that Government;
tinft, Nation, of , which that. Constitt:-
Lionwas the organic law. Was it
possible to lose the Nation, and yet
. pre.serve the Constitutiou.
general law, life and limb, must,
bo protected . ; yetoften a' Imo iell.St
be amputated to save a life; but a life
is never wisely given to save' a limb.
I feel that measures, otherwise uncon
stitutional, might' become lawful, by
becoming indispensable to the preser
vation of the Constitution, through
the preservation of the Nation. Right
or wrong, I assumed this ground, and
now avow it • I could not feel that to
the best of my ability I.had even tried
to preserve the Constitution, if to save
slavery or any minor matter, I should .
permit the wreck of Government,
Country and Constitution, all togeth
er, When early in the War General
Fremont attempted military errianci
-pation, I forbade it because I did not
then think it an indispensable necessi
ty. When a little later, General Cam
eron, then Secretary of War, sugges
ted the arming of the blacks, I ohjee
ted, because I did not yet think it an
indispensable necessity. When, still
later, General Hunter attempted mili
tary emancipation, I again forbade it,
because I did not yet thiuk the indis
pensable necessity had come.
When, in March, and May, and Ju
ly, 1862, I made earnest -and succes
sive appeals to the Border States, to
favor compensated emancipation, 1
believed the indispensable necessity
for military emancipation, and arm
ing the blacks would come, unless aver
ted by that measure. They declined
the proposition, and. I was, in my beet
judgment, driven to the alternative,
of either surrendering the Union, and
with it, the Constitution, or of laying
strong hand upon - the colored element.
I chose the latter. In choosing it, I
hoped for greater gain than loss; but
of this I was not entirely confident.
- More than a year of trial now shows
no loss by it, in our foreign relations;
none in our home popular sentiment;
none in our white military force—no
loss by it any how or any whore. On
the contrary, it shows a gain of quite
a hundred and thirty thousand sol
diers, seamen and laborers. These
are palpable facts, about 'which, as
facts, there can be no caviling We
hive the men, and we could not have
bad them without the measure
"And now,
let any Union man, who
complains of the measure, test himself,
by writing down in one line, that he
is for subduing the rebellion by force
of arms, and in the next, that be is for
taking these hundred and thirty thous
and men from the Union side, and
placing them whore they would be,
but for the measure he condemns. If
he cannot face his cause so stated, it
is only because he cannot face the
truth.
"I. add a word which was not in the
verbal conversation. In telling this
tale I attempt no compliment to my
own sagacity. I claim not to have
controlled events, but confess plainly
that events have controlled me. Now,
at. the end of three years' struggle, the
nation's condition is not what either
party or any man devised or expected.
God alone can claim it. If God now
wills . the removal of a great wrong,
and wills also that, we of the North,
as well as you of tbe South, shall pay
fairly for our complicity in that wrong,
impartial history will find therein ,now
°atm to attest, and revere the justice
and goodness of God.
"Yours truly, A. LINCOLN."

WAR FOR THE UNION.
DEPARTMENT OP THE Enr.
The Battlea on the led Rive.
A Three-days Contest
The first day of the nweete:
The first battle took place on the
7th, in which the•Unian cavalry, after
skirmishing with the enemy and driv.
ing them fourteen miles, mai/ they got
two miles beyond Pleasantifill, came
upon twenty five hundred rebel caval
ry, posted in.a strong position, under
General Greene. They wars charg
ed upon by the Federal cavalry, and,
after a spirited contest, driven off
the field. Our losses were about
forty killed and wounded; that of the
enemy about as heavy.
The second day's battle.
• On the 80, COI. Gandrum's brigade
of infantry, with the cavalry, pressed
forward, and finally met the rebels in
strong force under Kirby Smith, Dick
Taylor, Mouton, Green, and Price, with
from eighteen to tiventy-two thousand
men. There was brisk skirmishing,
and finally the rebels flame on in force,
General Banks and Ransom being upon
the field. Franklin was sent for, but
before he came up the" rebel successes
bad boon great. They made desperate
charges in mass, and were desperately
resisted. The losses on both sides
were frightful. Finally after Franklin
bad come up, the whole Federal force
was driven baok three and a half miles,
but the enemy were checked, with fear
ful slaughter, by two brigades under
Gen. Emory. Night endathe contest.
The Federals were under Banks, Ran
som, Stone, .and Lee. Many guns were
lost. On the rebel side it 4s.known
that General Mouton was killed.
The Third day's Battle a Union Victory.
By falling back General Banks had
effected a junction with A. J. Smith,
and arrangements were made to re.
ceive the enemy with effect. General
Emory had charge of the first line of
battle, with Generals McMillan,
Dwight, and others. Behind Emory,
posted in a hollow, were Gen. Smith's
forces. Skirmishing was kept up until
about five o'clock in theafternoon when
the rebels came. up;io their old style in
masses, in their three lines of battle.
Our batteries Opened upon them with
terrible effect. The 19th Army Corps
WAS gradually forced back. The first
line of the rebels had been, entirely
broken up by Emory's resistance, but
the remaining twapresied on.
The final charge.
Now came the - grand coup de main.
The 19th, on arriving at the top of the
hill, suddenly titled - over the. hill, and
passed through the lines of General
Bmith: We must - here mention that
the rebels were now in but two lines
of battle, the first tuiving boon almost
annihilated by General Emory, what
remained having been forced back into
the second 1in0,.. Ent these two lines
.came on exultant and sure of victory.
The first passed:the knoll, and, all
heedless of , the long line - of, Cannons
and crouching formsplas brave MOD as
ever trod mother mitt), pressed on. The
second lino appeared on the crest. and
the dett h signal Wns soinided. Words
eftnnot. describe the awful effects of
thia.dischmage. Se4en thousand rifiles i
and seven batteries.'of artillery loaded
to the mazate with grape and can's.
tor; were fired simultaneously, and the
whole centre of the rebel lino was
crushed down as afield of ripe wheat
through which a tornado had passed.
It is estimated that'buo thousand men
wore burled Into eternity or frightful
ly mangled by this one discharge.
No time was given them to recover
their good order, but General Smith
ordered a charge, and his men dashed
rapidly . forward, the boys of the 19th
joining in. The - rebels ,fought boldly
and desperately batik to the timber, on
reaching which a large portion broke
and fled, fully two thousand throwing
aside their arms. In this charge
Taylor's battery was retaken, as wore
also two of the guns of Nims battery,
the Parrott gun taken from us at Car
rion Crow last fall, and one or two oth
era belonging to the rebels, one of
which was considerably shattered, be
sides seven hundred Prisoners. A pur
suit and desultory fight was kept up for
three miles, when our men returned
to the field of battle.
And thus ended this fearful and
bloody struggle for the control of Wes
tern Louisiana.
ANOTHER UNION VICTORY.
NEW Yoii, April 25.—A special
dispatch to the New York Tribune
says:,
"Twenty-five miles above Grand
Ecore, from the left bank of Red river,
the rebels opened on the transports
Clara Bell and Rob Roy, firing 12
shots into them. 'A force of 1,000
Mounted infantry—said to be the rebel
General Green's command--came down
in front of the battery and poured vol
leys of musketry into the steamers,
which were getting the worst of it,
when a small gnn boat oportunoly
came up and silenced the battery, and
compelled the rebels to fall back. Gen.
A. J. Smith's corps (16th) subsequent
ly arrived near the scene of action,
having crossed over from Grand Ecore,
marched up the right bank of the riv
er, and again crosSed to punish the
enemy. They captured two guns and
seventeen wounded prisoners, who
say positively that the rebel general
was killed by a shell from our boat.
"This is on other signal victory.
The rebels left 160 of their dead on
the field, slaughtered by the terrible
fire of our gunboats and transports, in
their hurried retreat. Their slightly
wounded were taken off.
