Such was the advent! of Mr. Lincoln -into Washington—a city where his illustrious 'prede cessors in office were in the habit of appearing in public unattended' except by . _admiring friends, but wbb r u h e the latest (and we hope not the last). President seldom makes his appearance in pub, lic except outlet' the preteetion Of an armed guard. His ineugUral informed the country. that he would'conduct the affairs of the Governinent on Notional principles—that he would not interfere With the peculiar institution of the South. "Ap prehension,?' laid tie, "seems to exist among the people of tbe Southern States that, by the acces s:on of a Republican Administration, their prop arty and tbeir'peace and personal security are to be endangered. * • * Ido hue, quote from one of my ,speeches when I declare that baye no purpose,,directly or indirectly, to _inter 'fere with the institution of Slavery in the States I •wheie it exists.

But there is blood on their hands, and the dread and horrible picture of tens of thousands slain upon the gory battle - field and Of the myriads ofand, Weeping mourners in the Northern-add Southern homes, who shall look in ,vain for the , beloved ones that will never fore'return ; all these should haunt their imaginations, if they have heads to think, or hearts to. feel. They had a glorious and a noble opportunity to save their country ; but like an inhuman and unnatural parricide, whoiliagi his:father' into 'the foaming tortoni, they made no effort - to rescue it from destruc tion. 8,337 4,787 4,498 4,352 4,532, 2,899 The Border State Convention was "e mockery , a dnlbsion and asnare," and the majority of the men - who went there from the. Northern States did so with the,determination to oppose every meas ure that was oalenlated,to re establish friendly relations between the two • great' sections of the country.. It might have saved the Republic, but it failed—ni iserably, ignominously failed. Whet was theirneit step ? The , war hairing comineueed with do 'attn.* on Fort Sumter— which was nothing more or learthen tbe.eulosi nation ofNorthern Abolitionism and John Brown ism—a requisition was made upon' the country for severity-five thousand men with whieli to•put down about one-third of the population, and to accomplish this in the ,remarkably brief period of three. months'. The Government issued a promissory note•payable in ninety days, in the - shantrof a submissive and 'repentant South, and one of its cabinet oftteers endorsed the , paper, to render it aceepteble to' the shrewd money lenders of 'the • country. 'Unfortunately,' however, the .promise to pay was not redeemed'.

The Ave hundred thousind men and the lire hundreil`mil. KOOK of dollars "have gone in the Wind:" . The country is more'divided than ever. The South has assumed the form eTa compact nationality— , and the confidence of the loyal people of the North has been ao Tar betrayed and imposed up- OD by the men who have ruled only to ruin, that they have lost all trust in, and have long since learned to look upon, the authorities at Wash ington only 'with contempt and distrust. What followed tte immense outpouring of the people into the ranks of the volunteer army ? Nothing but defeat and disaster. 'That grand army was scattered in detachments along the line of the wars it was defeated at several points; but thegrea test disaster of all befel it Close by the capitol of Virginia, and subsequently in the Lear vicinity of Washington. The South was a unit in its opposition to the ill-judged invas ion of the North. Its people bad been forced into an ,unanimity of feeling by the abolition legisla tion of a sectional Congress. That Congress with an inhuman disregard to the lives of the brave men who believed they were' fighting for the whole country, and not for the success of the principles of a party, was angagett mean while in the enactment of laws inimical to the I in kinks of the South, and only Calculated to pro voke the most embittered feelings of :sectional animosity and hatred. ~ ~ It passed a bill for the emancipation of sht,vett in the Diltriet of Columbia, although there Were: not mere than two thousand of them in thattiree tion. This; - we do not,: hesitate to say, was,minci siderittg its result the most.atrocious and the most ruinous legialative act that could have• been adoptea in 'the then condition of the cello try. It revealed the animus of the man who had got into pottier ; It created dismay in the ranks of conservative men who sincerely loved their country and who had been flattered by the vain hope that Congress would .:not push Its sectional `policy to an extreme degree. , , But tebat was the course of iiiii, Alin' inistra. tion during this, period ? What return did it make to the loyal North for thelminense arioy and vast sumsof money. which had been placed at its disposal? What return id it make for all this ? Let us enumerate Fr dom of speech and of the Press placed under e nsorship ; the arbitrary arrest and ineareeratio ' of loyal eiti, Zeus ; the conversion of forts, 'Which were in tended for deTense against invasion by a foreign foe, into bristilei kir the' imprisonment of free- Men : the overthrow of, State rights, and the break ing down of I.ate boundaries; the flagrant and unnecessary violation of Constitutional guar antees; the fiendish frauds practiced upon men who' vblunteered for the-defense of the Union and the Constitution,,but who•had been seer Witt ed to Abolition designs, These.are some of the returns which have been • toads by the Adminis.. tratitai to the meople for the trust and confidence which was so freely given, but which has been so vilely abused. . . . ' having failed, eve through the aid•of a draft which increased our army th eight or nixie htinl dyed thousand men, to bring back • the South, the President resorted, in the last extremity, to his Emancipation Proclamation, threatening the seceded States With all the horrors of a negro insurrection in the event of their continued ob. stinacy. It was tl. desperate, exped len t and could have its conception only in the brains or the perverted imagination -of an Abolition fanatic. • It declared the slaves of all the A totes in re bellion free ,after a hundred diva I, but his beta• ration of freedom has had no more effect on them than: that myth ital "bull against the comet;" which, w ith the jocularly that characterizes e- , yen his most 'serious moments, he compared it with. ' But this was-not all; for that "bull" Wh tali' he issued against the South has only returned to gore its owner. It was not enough, however that be should increase the bitter feeling in the 'South,. he must also - insult the loyal North by placing, it under martial' law, and . annulling thereby, the supremo law of the land. We say, that this'was riot only an insult, but it was worse: Wives the stibjectitin of Northern citizens to mili tary authority;; : it was the overthrow of State rights, and the begining of a system of eons° li dation'which if permitted by the people, must in evitolily result in the 'establishment of a perma nent military filespotistn. We ask any candid reader, if; in the foregoing review, we bare'not presented 'a- truthful state ment of the phlicy of the Administration and its ruinous effect upon the present condition and In ture prospects of the country. Is it possible, af ter the sad experience of the past two . years, that any man can lialieve-the present War will result in the restoration of -the Union ?

Never was a blacker crime sought to be committed against nature, against human ity,rigoMst the holy prodepts of Christi anity, and•agahat all Principles'of manly and civilized wa:rthro. There is no tangent, suffi ciently,strong to brand this diandlical measure as it deserves.. But it will fail, as it has failed already in the first instance, and as We trust for the honor (tithe fot the Unto. of our common hutnanity ivhich has been outrag ed in its best ; instinets, we trust such measures will always and evet fail. • This may be construed as treason ; but we are utterly indifferent Pt the charge. We have not learned to speak.of the powers that be with ba ted breath and Whispering humbleness. We are, as we have ever been, opposed to this war.— We are for peace, and to secure this end we are in favor of an armistice. We have had two years of war without any result, so' far as the restora tion of the Union is concerned. Let us try peace, and a COD VW II 60'3.g OILS totes.

The man who , insists upon the prolongation of this war Shotild do that which he wants others to do ; ; he should not trait Tor, the conscription ; he should shoulder his musket and march to the battle field, where the deadly rifle ball is the only argument with which he will have to deal. '- Yes, this work of blood has gone on long e nough, and it is time to understand the lesson which we have been taught by the last two years —that the military subjugation of the South Is an impossibility. We are told that anything is preferrable to a divided, country, but a Union under 'a military despotism would be still worse. Besides, bow is it possible that the representa tives of a party which bus been actuated and governed by the spirit of division and disunion from 14 very inception, can restore the Union? Are sge of thistles, Or grapes of thorns? Has not the Abolition party been the party of diSunion, and has not: the President adopted their Policy in his Emancipation Proclamation ? The Abolitionists are to this country what the Or angemen are to Ireland. They feed and live up. on dissension. For our own part, we have no hope of Union from the present Administration, and the sooner, therefore,, this war stops the hotter it will be for the people and the preserve tion of their liberties. Let us, be warned in time; let us be no longer deceived. We must'depend for our protectien upon the Sove. reign States; they :are the breakwaters open which the encroaching waves 9£ Federal usurpa tion Will break in vain.

The Washingtoepubliecia n',/? of-this evening contains the preliminary re port of Gen. McClellan, of OctOber 15th last, respecting the military op erations under his charge since i the evacuation. 0f.,1 - farrison's Landing which that paper says:Was .furnished it by the Government. Owing to the absence of the .full reports of. the corps commanders, a simple outline of the brilliant operations which re sulted in the carrying of th.e two pas es could at that time, with justice to the troops, and. commanders,.be com municated. In the course of his narrative he says, on the 13th he received a verbal message from Cola Miles, informing him of the condition of affairs. 'The messenger stated .there was no appa rent reason for the abandonment of Maryland Heights, and that though Col Miles asked; for assistance, he said he could hold out, certainly, for two days. He directed the messen ger to make his way back, if possi• ble, ivith the information that he, (McClellan) ‘t'as rapidly approaching, and would, undoubtedly, relieve the place. He states that on the 12th he Was directed to assume command of th,e garrison' at Harper's Ferry, but this order reached him after all com munication with..the garrison had been cut 'off, and he adds; "Before loft Washington, an.cl , while it was•yet time, Lrecomme.nded to the. proper authorities that the garrison of Ilan. per's Ferry; should; be withdrawn 'via HagerstoWn, , to aid. in carrying the Cumberland-Valley, or that, taking up the pontoon bridge and obstruct ing the railroad bridge, it should. fall back to , the Maryland .Heights, end there hold 'its own to the last. ID this position it could. have maintain ed itself for weeks:: It.was not deem• ed proper to adopt either of . these suggestions, and when the -subject was left "to my direction, it was, too late to 'de aoything except, to •try to relieve the garrison: . . "I 'directed artillery to he frequent ly fired by our advanced gliards" as a signal to the garrison that relief was at hand. This was done, and I learn. that our firing' was distinctly :heard at Harper's Ferry, and that they were Otis aware that we were ap proaching rapidly. it was confident- i ly expected that this place could hold out until, we had carried the moun tains, and were in a position to make a detachment for its relief,,etc." He concludes as follows: ,"While it gives - me pleasure to speak of the gallantry:lnd devotion of officers anal men generally displayed through this confliot, Fleet it necessary to , mention that-sonie of the. officers and Men skiilked from their plaees in. the , ranks - until the - . battle' was over.-1 Death on the spot must hereafter be the fate of all such .cowards, and the hands of the .military commanders must bo strengthened with all the power of the Government to inflict it summarily. "The early and disgraceful surren. der of Harper's Ferry deprived my operations of results which would have formed a-brilliant 'sequence to the substantial and gratifying. sue-1 .eess already related. Had thegarrj-; son held out twenty-four 'hours long. er, I should, in all probability,: have 1 captured that part of the enemy's feri.:e engaged in the attack . on - the Maryland Heights, While the whole I garrison, some 12,000 - strong, .could have been drawn to reinforce me on the - day of the decisive battlo—cer. iainly on the morning of the 18th. I 'mania thus have been in a position to have destroyed the rebel army. "Under the same circumstances, had the besieging. force on the Virgin ia side, at Harper's Ferry, not been withdrawn, I would have had thirty. five br forty thousand - rees inento - dtr: counter at Antietam, and must Imre captured or destroyed all opposed to me. As It was, 1 had to engage an army fresh from a recent and, to them, a• great victory, and to reap the disadvantages of their being fresh ly supplied with ammunition and supplies. "`The objects and results of .this brief earn paign may be summed up as fellows: In the beginning of the month of September the safety of the .national capital was seriously endan gered. by the presence of a victorious enemy, who soon after crossed into Maryland, and then directly threat ened Washington and Baltimore, while they occupied the soil of a loy al State and threatened the invasion of- Pennsylvania. "The Army of the Union, inferior 1 . in numbers, wearied by long march. es, deficient in various supplies, worn out by numerous battles, (the last of which had not. been successful,) first covered by its movements the cities of Washington and 'Baltimore, then boldly attacked the victorious enemy in their chosen strong position, arid drove - them- back; with all their su periority.of numbers; into the State from invasion.; and rudely dispelling the rebel dreanisofcarrying -the war into our.country, and subsiSting upon our resources. • "Thirteen gun's, thirty•nine 'colors, more than 15,000 stand of knell' arms, and more than 6,000 prisoners, wore the trophies which attest the success of our arms. "Rendering thanks to Divine Prov idence for its blessings upon our exer tions, I close this report, and beg on ly to add the hope that ther army's efforts fot the cause in which we are engaged will be deemed worthy to receive the commendation of the Gov ernment and the country. Gen. McClellan's Report of the Sev. en Days' Battles.—General McClellan's official report of the seven-days' bat. ties on the Peninsula, and of his fall ing back to Berkley, although dated on the 15th of July last, is now for the first time published. He.says : To the calm judgement of history and the future he leaves the task of pronouncing upon the movement r eonfident that its verdict will be that no such difficult one was over more successfully executed; that no army ever - fought more repeated ly, heroically, and successfully against such great odds ; that no men of any race ever displayed greeted discipline, endurance, patience, and cheerfulness unddr such hardships. New Scheme to Rob the People.— Here is. the last scheme devised for the benefit of such of the faithful in the abolition -.ranks who, notwith standing the immense host now feed ing at the public crib, still remain en provided for. Says..a letter„ written . . from Hilton Head, S. C. :` "A memorial to the. President is being pre pared by the soldiers, asking the appointment of Union orators to visit the army occasionally, and also that an Administration journal may be furnished gratuitously to the troops in the field." s It is hardly needless to assure the reader that the memorial referred to, though it may receive some soldiers' signature, did not emanate from them. The fact is, it is a nice little scheme by which it hoped to put money in the pockets of the many abolition or ators, who, though they are not will ing to shoulder the musket and go into the ranks, would agree to an arrangement by whicl► they could spout their eloquence at so much per diem. What device will next be re- Sorted to to defraud the public treas. ury ? . MARRIAGE OF TUE PRAME OF WALES. —The Prince of Wales (heir apps. rent to the throne of England) was married to the Princess Alexandria of Denmark on the 10th of March, in Saint George's chapel, Windsor, with all the state ceremonial and pomp peculiar to such an event. Queen Victoria was present in the chapel. She took no part in the pa geant; but was evidently 'both .de lighted and deeply affected at the happy manner in which the proceed ings were conducted, and at the .dis play of loyalty and.devotion Manifest ed towards both herself, her son and every member of the royal native and foreign.

Gilmore's official account of the battle at Somerset says that the Rebels, 2,900 strong, were overtaken four miles north of that place ; skirmishing began at once. But the General's own words best tell the story : "I attacked the ene my yesterday [March 30 in a strong position of his own selection, defended by six cannon ; fought him for five hours, driving him from one position to another; finally stormed his posgioh, whipped him handsomely, and drove - him in confusion toward the river. His loss is over 800 in killed, wounded and prisoners. , The ene my outnumbered us two to one, and were commanded by Pegram in person. Night stopped the pursuit, which will be renewed in the morning. We captured two stands of colors. Our loss in killed, wounded, and missing will not exceed 30. Scott's famous „Rebel regiment was cut off and scattered." Thd pursuit was not renewed the next day, the Rebels having recrossed the Cumberland during the night, and made their tallest speed to ward Tennessee. Pegram's loss is about 500 men. Gen. Burnside is advised that the entire Rebel force has been driv en out of Central Kentucky, and much of their plunder has been recaptured. Their reported force has been greatly exagger ated, as well as the amount of plunder taken by them. Our men behaved splen didly all through. otr Shoes are now made in Lynn by steam. The introduction of sewing machines and other machinery is work ing a change in the whole business, and shoes are now manufactured in large fac tories instead of being sent out to scat tered workmen, (C - i - From Vicksburg we learn that the water continues to flow through the cut at Lake Providence, hut that the cur rent is so powerful thatjug-boats are on ly enabled to pass into the lake. Fort Pemberton and Yazoo City have both been strengthened, and the heavy guns, with a large force, have been removed from the river front to the rear of Vicks burg, but it is reported that all the Union expeditions have been ordered to return to the points from whence they started. the arrival of Admirald Farragut with his two vessels, has inspired the naval and military forces before Vicksburg with new energy, and has increased their determination to make another and sue ces.sful effort to open the Mississippi.
