who are disposed tO• charge him with
1 1 treachery, ike., have ?sot filly studied the

suppose; because he ivas too slow, he is re
moved. Perhaps.Bilrnside is the better
nine; at least we will hope foi the best.—
For a start he has sOceeded i admirably in

here I am at a loss to see - what good was

to the rebels; and yet he destroyed one
bridge that .cost us three weeks bard labor

I am happy to see that the feeling towards'
him among the me, is improving. Since
I ave. been a soldier nothing has occurred ,

The - N. Y. Evelling Post says: "Mr.

ley school, who writes polished . Brittinia
ware sentences. Neither is he a:formal lo
gician, whose premises and. conclusions
carry convidtiou with them as irresistably
as a cannon-ball carries death. Mis reas

of our own people, for the information of

• The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser dwells
also upon this cold-blooded indifference,
this apathy,of sense and Of_ conscience in
regard to the services . and sacrifices of
the war: '
"In one respect the message disappoints
us, and is indeed unsatisfactory. •• It is en
tirely silent on the domestic condition of.l
the . country. .. Except from incidental',
mention, the readerof the document would
have no idea of the mighty and exhaust:
lug conflict. through which the country is .
passing, and which has been so fruitful of
events during the past year. Our soldiers
rind sailors, with their commauding-offi
cers of every degree, are passed over in'
total silence, without a word of commis
seration for the brave wounded and dead,
or a genial paragraph for the . living. Ex
cept that reference is made to the depart- -
ments,of war and navy, the reader of the'
message would'not guess that we had an
army in the field and a navy on the ocearr. - .
It is strangely barren of every word or
idea that could lead one to suppose :AEA
war had slain its tens of thousands since
the ' preceding- message was penned, or
that the insurgents bad exhausted their
resources of blood - treasure to overthiow
the federal government, and the loyal
Stales had poured forth their lives and
their money in noble, self-sacrificing ef
forts to sustain that government under the
shock. No word of sympathy with the
past, or cheer for the ftiture. * * Wer
confess that this defect. in the message
surprises and pains-us."
The Springfield Republican says : "Not
few will say that the President seems whol
ly ob4vious to the great crisis that is up
on the country, and the momentous neces
sity, that rests upon the government, while
he is absorbed in his scheme of compensa
ted-emancipation; the realizition of which
is in the far off future, ifjt is to come -at
all. Others still will scout his plan alto
gether, and declare it a waste of time and
energy to consider it at all while it is so
palpable to every one that earnest war-1W
the• business of the hour, and that it is
by War to the utter subjugation of the
slaveholders, that slavery is to be abolish
ed,and not by the consent of the slave
holders thcmgelves."
. The Oswego Commercial 'Times, forget
ting that Lincoln's stamp•speeches were
not Written by hik and that his messa-
ges were, says:
" We confess we are disappointed in the
messa g e. Since he beearne • President, Ab
raham Lincoln seems to have abandoned
altogether that forcible and eloquent
style which rendered his speeches famous.
We look in vain for any such ringing sen
tences as those contained in his impromp
tu speech at the Cooper Institute, prior to
his nomination for the Presidency. The
1-message is plain, straightforward and ra
ther heavy.- He makes no - appeal to the
feelings, he touches none of the finer e
motions of the human heart, he makes no
effort to stir up the patriotismof the peo
ple to high and lofty deeds for Union and
Libeity. Does the elevation of a man to
the Presidency blot out of, his mind all
the eloquence-and poetry it may have 'pre
viously contained ? •
The Albany Statesman frankly con ,
demos the message as wholly unworthy
the Executive who writes it, and the Con
gress to whom it is addressed:
"We confess to a sad -disappointment
in the perusal of the PreSident's annual
message. We looked to it with profonud
interest for a full and fair presentation of
the state of the country in view of its
pending troubles and =fending perils,
yet when we are, looking for bread we are
are given a stone. It is a great pity that
Mr. Lincoln couldnot'discem the calls of
his•bleeding country for a plain, straight
'
forward, edergetio action' in suppressing
the slaveholders' rebellion—adhering to
pie•Constitntion as it is, and simply avail-,
inn himself of his determination'to' em- '
I ploy the slave in the service, if his ownir
shall continue in revolt at the end' of the
- prescribed period. He is honest enough
' in all he says-and purposes, but the coun
t try is heartily sick .of hearing of nothing
but his honesty., ;
We hope now that the message is de
livered, that Congress will' treat it with
all proper consideration, but go to work I
to strengthen the army of the 'Union, for
its preservation, and to -lighten the burth-
ens of the nation, by preserving it from
'further impositions either in civil ortaili
tary life. The whole loyal population are
crying,for a termination of the war, by its
suppression, 'without compromise'or tem
porization. The President and his cabin
, et do not. yet. seem to be fully sensible of
this cry. Wilt thepresent Congress rove
