The following beautiful poem was composed by Michael Kelly, a member of tbe 01st New York re gltnent. How sweet, when night her misty veil Around the weary soldier throws, And twilight'! golden skies grow pale, And moaning winds invite repose, To sit beside the watch tiro-! blaze, Whore friendly comrade! nightly come To sing the aong of other days. And talk of things we love at borne. Of those we love, who list and wait llcneath the same benignaul moon. The postman's step beauid the gate. With tidings from the absent one ; And beaming smiles their thoughts reveal, And loTc is mirrored ill their eyes, As eagerly they break tho seal, Klulc with juy and glud surprise. lint dearer yet the shout that rings, In exultations loud and clear, To hail the messenger w ho brings Letters from home and kindred dear. And 'neatli tho pale moon's smiling ligat The soldier reads his treasure o'er. And through tho hours of silent night In dreams ho visits home once more. In dreams he sits beside the hearth. Afar from camps and traitorji vile. And dreams of the dearest spot on earth Where loving wife and mother smile; And many a face almost forg-t, And many a world kindly spoken. Come Hilling round thcsoldicrs cot. Till the sweet dream at morn is broken. Oh ! ve wio love the soldier well. Hid him be hopeful, brave and gay, Better he knows than you can tell Hio perils that attend bis way. Some word of hope, in battle hour. While striving with a vengeful foe. Has nerved the soldier's arm wilh power To strike or ward the impending blow. The soldier brave is often prolio To deem himself forgotten quite A wanderer on the earth alone When friends at home neglect to write. Then cheer him oft with words like th we. And thus your deep affection prove; Let every lut that ploughs the scb. Hear him sonic message full of love. a uii'oitTAvr i.i:x'ri:it. President Lincoln on Arbitrary Arrests. We have crowded out much mutter in tended for this issue, to give place to the following important letter from thi! Presi dent of the United States on arbitrary ar rests, addressed to Hon. Erastus Corning and others, officers of the late Democratic meeting at Albany, N. Y., who hud forward ed to Mr. Lincoln the resolutions adopted at said meeting. The letter is 'marked by good temper, argumentative disposition and shrewdness. The points arc well made, and meet the assertions of the resolutions of the Albany meeting so forcibly as to furnish n fair explanation of the grounds w lu reon the policy of the Administration has been based in this matter. Mil. LINCOLN'S KEPLY. F.xkcvtivk Mansion. ) inoton, June 12, lSliii. j asiiino Hon. KriiftiiK Corning, ii vturii : Gk.ntm:mi:s : i our letter oi Mny J'J, en- closing the resolutt ms ot a public meeting held tit Albany, New York, on the 16th of the same moiiili, was received several days ago. The resolutions, as I understand them, ate resolvable into two propositions riint the expression of a purpose to sustain the cause of the Union, to secure peace through victory, and to support the Administration i in every constitutional and lawful measure to suppress the rebellion ; and secondly, a I declaration of censure upon the Administra tion lor supposed unconstitutional action, I such as the making of military arrests. And from the two iiiiniosit ions, u third i de duced, which is that the gentlemen compri sing the meeting are resolved on doing their part to maintain our common Government and country, despite the folly or wickedness as they may conceive, of any Administration. The position is eminently patriotic, and rts such 1 thank the meeting, and congratulate the nation for it. My own purpose is tint same; so that the meeting nud myself have a common object, and can have no differ ence, except in the choice of njeans or mea sures for etl'eeting that object. And here 1 ought to close this paper, and would close it, if there were no apprehen sion that more injurious conscrnicticcs tllan any merely personal to myself might follow the censures systematically cast upon me for fining what, in view of duty, 1 could not forbear. The resolutions promise to support me in every constitutional and law ful measure to suppress) the rebellion ; and 1 have not knowingly employed, nor shall knowingly employ uny other. Hut the meeting, by their resolutions, assert and argue that certain military urrcsts, and pro ceedings following them, for which 1 am ultimately responsible, are uneonslitutionul. 1 think they ate not. The resolutions ijuote from the "Constitution the delinition of treason, and ulso limiting safeguards nnd guarantees therein provided for the citizen on trial for treason, mid on his licing held to answer for capitul or otherwise iii!'atnous crimes, und, in criminal prosecutions, his right to a speedy und public trial by au im partial jury. They proceed to' resolve "that these saleguarils ot tlie rights ol me citi.en against the pretension of arbitrary power were intended morn especially for his pro tection in times of civil commotion." Ad, apparently to demonstrate the proposition, the resolution proceed : "They were se urcd substantially to thu English people after years of protracted civil war, and were adopted into our Constitution at the close of the revolution." Would not the demou atration have len better, if it could huvii Irccii truly auid thai theu sufi guarda had l-ecn adopted und upplied during the civil wars and during our revolution, iiiatemi of after the one unit ut thu tlot of thu other l 1 too, mil devoted ly for them utter civil wur, und before cii'il war, und ut ull lime, ''except tt'lieli, ill IUM ol ri Lellloil or Invii- kiiin.

Iu br HikMiU - that !, Uil lor Hie llai .l.uioil iii Ibe t iiaitluikiiH, au.l up"U u nor yet were they inndo to hold persons to answer for any capital or otherwise infa mous crimes ; nor were the proceedings fol lowing, in any constitutional 'or legal sense, "criminal prosecutions." The arrests were made on to.la.lry different grounds, and tho proceedings following accorded with the grounds of the arrests. Let us consider the real case with which wo are dealing, and apply to it the part of the Constition plainly made for such cases. Prjor to my installation here it had been inculcated that any State had n lawful right to secede from the national Union, nnd that it would be expedient to exercise tin: right whenever the devotees of the doctrine should fail to elect a President to their own liking. I was elected contrary to their liking ; nnd, accordingly, so fur as it was legally possible thev had taken seven States- out of the Union hart seized many of the United States forts, and had fired upon the United States Hag, all before I was inaugurated, and, of course, before I had done any official act whatever. Thu rebellion thus began soon ran into the present civil war; and, in certain respects, it began on very unequal terms between the parties. The insurgents hud bccrfprcpnring for it more than thirty years, while the gov ernment had taken no steps to resist them. The former had carefully considered ail the means which could be turned to their ac count. It undoubtedly was a well ponder ed reliance with them, that in their own I unrestricted efforts to destroy Union Consti tution nnd law, altogether, the Government would, in great degree, be restrained by the same Constitution and law from arresting their progress. Thcirsyniptithizers pervaded all departments of the Government, and m arly all communities of the people. From this material, under cover of "liberty of speech," "liberty of the press," and "huhcim evrjM," they hoped to keep on foot among us u mo.-t cH'icient corps of spies, informers, suppliers unit aiders and abettors of their cause in a thousand ways. They knew that in times such as they were inaugurating, by the Constitution itself, the "hubeas corpus" might be suspended, but they also knew they hud friends who would make a ques tion as to who was to Misprint it ; menu while their spies and others might remain at large to help on their cause. Or if, as has happened, the Executive should suspend the writ, without ruinous waste of time, in stances of arresting innocent persons might occur, as tire always likely to occur in sucli cases ; and then a clamor could be raised iu regard to this which might be, at least, of some service to the insurgent cause. It needed no very keen perception to discover this part of the enemy's programme, so soon ns by open hostilities their machinery was fairly put in motion. Yet thoroughly im bued with tl reverence for the guarantees of individuals, I was slow to adopt the strong measures which by degrees I have been for ced to ns being within the exceptions of the Constitution, and as indispensable to the public, safety. Nothing is better known to history than that courts of justice arc incom petent to such cases. Civil courts are or- I ''imized rhiellr for trials of individuals, or. at most, a few individuals acting iu concert: and this in ijtiiet times, nnd on charges of crimes well defined in the law. Even in times of peace bands of horse thieves and robbers frequently grow too numerous n:td powerful for the ordinary courts of justice. Hut what comparison, in numbers, have such bands ever borne to the insurgent sympathi zers even m many ot the loyal Mates f Again ' a jury too frequently has i,t least one nicm- ' her more ready lo hang the panel than to hang the traitor. And yet, again, he who dissuades one man from volunteering or ' induces ,r. ;,-.liiet' to desert, weakens the i Union cause as in mil as he who kills a Union ' I soldier in battle. Yet this discussion or inducement muy be so conducted ns to be j no defined crime of which any civil court would fake cognizance. j Ours is a case of rebellion so called by the resolutions before me in fact, a clear, flagrant, gigantic case of rebellion ; nnd the provision of the Constitution that "the privilege of the writ of hubeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when, iu cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it," is the provision which specially ' applies to our present case. This provision plainly attests the understanding of those who made the Constitution, that ordimuy courts of justice are inadequate to "eases of rebellion" attests their purpose that, in such cases, insn may be held in custody vt hum the courts acting on ordinary rules, would discharge. Habeas corpus docs not discharge men who are proved to be guilty ot delined crime; and its suspension is allowed bv the Constitution on purpose that men may be arrested and held who cannot be proved to be guilty of defined crime, "when iu cases of rebellion or inva sion, the public safety may require it." This is precisely our present case a cane ot re- licllioii, wlierein the public salety does re quire tlie suspension, jmleeil, urrctls ny prui ess of court and arrests iu cases of rebellion, do not proceed ultogcuier upon the same basis. The former is directed ut the small percentage of ordinary nud con tinuous iieriietralioii of crime, while the latter is directed at sudden aud extensive uprisings against thu government, which, at most, will succeed or fail in no great length of time, lu the latter case, nr tests are made, not to much !'r what ha been done. The latter is more for the preventive and lcs for the vindictive thaii the former. In such case the purpose of meu ure much inure easily understood than in case of ordinary ciiine. The man who elands by and aiiv nothing when thu peril of his Govcriiun ut is discussed cannot !u mis understood. If not hindered he is ure to lulu tile cuemv: luui u inure, it he talks ambiguously-talk, for hi country with but, and "tl" nnd "und. ui now inue value tbe constitutional provision.

V-y iit' may be constitutional in localities where rebellion actually exists, but that such arrests are unconstitutional in localities where rebellion or insurrection docs not actually exist.

Inasmuch, however, as the Constitution itself makes no such distinction, I am unable to believe that there' is any such constitutional distinction. I concede that the class of arrests complained of can be constitutional only when, in cases of rebellion or invasion,, the public safety may require them ';' and I insist that in such cases they are constitutional vhermr tho public safety tloes require them ; ns well in places to which they may .prevent the re bellion extending as in those vherc it may be nl ready prevailing ; us well where they may restrain mischievous interference with the raising and supplying of armies to suppress the rebellion, as where the rebel lion may actually be; as well where they may restrain the enticing men out of the army ns where they would prevent mutiny in the army ; equally constitutional at all places where they wil conduce to the public safety, us against the dangers of rebellion or invasion. Take the part iculor case men tioned by the meeting. It is asserted, in substance, that Mr. Val- lnndigham was, by a, n.iUi.a.y vuuiuuud.vj;, seized and tried "for no other reason than words addressed to a public meeting, in criticism of the course of the administration nnd in condemnation of the military orders of the general." Now, if there be no mis take about this ; if this assertion is the truth nnd the whole truth ; if there was no other reason for the arrest, then I concede that the arrest was vtong. lint the arrest as I understand, was made for u very differ ent reason. Mr. Ynllaniligham avows his hostility to the war mi the part of the Union ; and his arrest was. made because he was laboring, wiih some ctlcct, to prevent the raising of troops; to encourage desertions from the iirmv ; and to leave the rebellion without nnp u.dcquate military force to sup press it. tie was not arrested because ho was damaging the politic.il prospects of the administration, or the personal interests of the commanding general, but because he was damaging the army, upon tha existence and vigor of which the life of the nation depends lie was warring upon the military, and this gave the military constitutianal jurisdiction to lay hands upon him. If Mr. Yallandig hatn was not damaging the military power of the country, then his arrest was on mis take of fact, which I would be glad to cor rect on reasonably satisfactory evidence. I understand the meeting, whose resolu tions 1 am considering, to be in favor of suppressing the rebellion by military force by armies. Long expcricn.ie has ahown that the armies cannot be maintained unless desertion shall be punished bv the severe i penalty of death. The case requires, and I the law and the constitution sanction, this ; punishment. Must I shoot a simple-minded ', soldier boy who deserts, while 1 must not i touch a hair of a wily agitator who induces him to desert ; This is none the less injuri 1 ou when eil'ected by getting a father, or brother, or friend, into a public meeting' ! and there working upon his feelings till he is persuaded to write the soldier boy that he is lighting in a bad cause, for u w icked ad : ministration or a contemptible government, too weak to arrest and punish ' him if he i should desert. I think that in such a case, to silence the agitation und save the boy is not only constitutional, but. withal a great mercy. , If I be wrong on this question of consti ' ttttional power, my error lies in bclievitig ! that certain proceedings arc constitutional, . when, iii cases of rebellion or invasion, the . public safely requires them, which would not be constitutional when, in absence of ( rebellion or invasion, the public safety does I not require them : iu other words, that tho constitution is not, in its application, in all respects the same, iu cases of rebellion or invasion involving the public salety, as it is ' in times of profound peace and public seen ' rity. The constitution itself makes the I distinction ; and 1 can no more be persuaded 'that the government can constitutionally take no strong measures in time of rebellion j ! because it can be shown that the same could j ' not be lawfully taken iu time of peace, than 1 1 can be persuaded that a particular drug is j I not a good medicine for a sick man, for it 1 cau lie bliown to not be good food for n veil i one. Nor am 1 able to appreciate the danger j apprehended by the meeting that the Amer ican people will, liy means ot military ar rests during the rebellion, lose tlie right of public discussion, the liberty of rpct.ch arid the press, the law of evidence, trial by jury, und habeas corpus, throughout the indeli uite pcncctul future, which i trust lies before them, uny more than 1 am able to believe tlat it man could contract so strong tin ap petite for emetics during temporary illness us to persist in feeding upon them during the remainder of his liettithful lite. lu giving the resolutions lliat earnest consideration which you request of me, I cannot overlook the fact that the meeting speaks as "democrats." Nor can I with full respect for their W.novn intelligence, and the fairly presumed deliberation with which they prepared their resolutions, be permitt ed to suppose that this occurred by accident or in uny other way thau that tucy preferred to designate themselves "deinocrala'' lather than "American citizens." J it aids time, of miliomil peril, 1 would have preferred to meet you upon a level one step higher than uny ' ry platform, because I am sure that, from such more elevated position, ye i-oold tin better battle for the country wu ull love than wu possibly call from tho.-to lower one where, lioiu the force of huLit, tho preju di e of tho past, und selfish hope of tho liiture, wo ure aiiru to spi ltd tuucii oi mo ingenuity aud strength in finding fault with and aiming blows at curb other.

Now, that it could be said the war -was over, the clamor against imtrtial law, which had ex isted from the first, grew more furious. Among other things, a Mr. Louailler pub lished a denunciatory newspaper bjrtk:rVi General Jackson arrested him. A lawyer bv the name of Morel procured the United States Judge Hall to order a writ of habeas corpus to. relieve Mr. Louailler. General Jackson arrested both the lawyer and the judge. A Mr. Hollander ventured to sav of some part of the matter that "it was a flirty trick." General Jackson arrested hiin. When the officer undertook to servo the writ of habeas corpus, General tlnckson took it from him, and sent him away with a copy. Holding the judge in custody a few days, the general sent him beyond the limits of his encampment, uud set him at liberty, with an order to remain till the ratification of peace should be regularly announced, or until the llritish should have left the sou thern coast. A day pr two t-lapscd, tho ratification of the treaty of pence was regu larly announced, nnd the judge and others were fully lilserated. A few days more, nnd the judge called General Jackson into court aud tincc. ium ft tltovunu dollars tor linvtng arrested him nnd the others named. Tho General paid the line, nnd there tlje matter rested for nearly thirty years, when Congress refunded principal and interest. The late Senator Douglas, then in the House of Ilcp resentatives, took a leading pnrt in the de bates, in which the Constitutional question was much discussed. 1 am not prepared to say whom tqe journals would show to have voted, jor the measure. It may be remarked : First, thu WO had the same Constitution then uhow ; second ly, that we tlieh had a case oi invasion, und now we have a case of rebellion ; and, third ly, that the permanent right of the people to public discussion, the liberty of speech und ot the press, the trial bv jury, the law of evidence ;uul the habeas corpus, suffered no detriment whatever by that conduct of Ocn. Jackson, or its subsequent approval by the American Congress. And yet, let me say, that in my discrctron I do not kuow whether 1 would have order ed the arrest of Mr. Yallandighain. While I cannot shift the re.ponsibiIUy from myself 1 hold that, as a general rule, the command- er in mo ueiii is ine oilier judge oi uic i necessity in tiny patticular case. Ot course, I must practice a general directory and re visory power in tlie matter. One of the resolutions expresses the opin ion of the meeting that arbritary arrests will have the effect to divide and distract those who should be united in suppressing the rebellion, and 1 am specifically called on to discharge Mr. Yallandigham. I regard this, at least, a fair appeal to inc on the ex pediency of exercising aconstitutional power which I think exists. In response to such appeal I have to say, it gave me pain when I learned that Mr. S'nllaudigham had been arrested that is, I was pained that there should have seemed to be a necessity for arresting him nnd that it will atlV.rd nic great pleasure to discharge him so soon as 1 can, by uuy means, believe the public safety will not sulfcr by it. I farther say, that as tho war progresses, it appears to me, opinion at first, take shape ami fall into more regular ,.i,...,..i .1,.,. .i, ...;... ...... dealing with them gradually decreases. 1 . .. . . . , - '. ""S have every reason to desire that it should cease altogether, nnd far from the least is my acgard for the opinions aud wishes of those who, like the meeting at Albany, de clare their purpose to sustain the govern ment in every constitutional measure to iiipplvsa tho ivbelliou. Still, I must, con tinue to- do so much as may seem tj be required by the public safety. " , A. Lincoln. , AGIUCULTURAL. l'tn-iu Uort $V r July. MtOADCAST coux.

Geraniums grow at any season, also fuschias, vet tonus, and other similar growing p.lants. Difficult woody phu'.U require to have the v.cw wood from which the' cuttings are taken, well ripened to ensure growtli. Pink ripings may be cut at any season. Generally speak ing ull plants grow more readily just after, blooming, and the best cuttings are taken from those shoots that have borne blooms. Usually it s well to leave u small part of the last year's growth on the cutting. Pus chias grow best from young shoots, nlno hcliutropes, and verbenas. Oleanders need to bo rooted in water previous to planting in the earth; the roots aro tender, and '1 ,"c. w,t w -'- ' drying lor a number of days bc!or 1,.1,,tinrr. t planting; those leaves 'that have flower bud arc said to bloom earlVj aud also to cou tiuuo flowering annually. Herbaceous plants root sooner when tho stems are placed in water font day.- Equal ity of temperature urn! moisture is important to insure success. Eor this purp.;ie glasses are placed over delicate cuttings ; somo prefer clear, others grccu glass. Cuttings geuerully require partial shading, until roots 1'ojnL ' The soil should be liruily pressed to the lowest point of the shoot, that tho air may not penetrate and dry tnecmbryo roots Cuttings like the dew and moonlight, there fore the coverings of those placed in hot beds should be removed, if the weather is moderate ut sunset.
