MR. PURDUE'S ADDRESS.
We publish in to-day's paper, and com
mend to the perusal of all our readers, the
Address of A. A. FURMAN, Esq., at the
Ruff's Creek Celebration. It is a chaste
and able production, and has the ring of
the true metal. Breathing a spirit of fer
vid patriotism, it commends to men of all
sections - the cultivation of the harmony of
sentitrient and fraternity of feeling which
marked the origin and earlier years of the
Republic. It insists on the preservation
of the unity of the country and the main
tenance of the dignity and integrity of the
Government at any cost and at any sacri
fice, and regards the Constitution as con
ferring ample power to perpetuate our in
stitutions without infringing upon the lib
erties of the citizen. In this, and in the
views generally embodied in the address,
we heartily concur, and have no doubt
they will meet the approval of our readers
and of sensible tutu every where.
HON. JAMES R. MORRIS.
This gentleman, known to many of our
readers in this county as the able and
popular Representative of the Belmont
(Ohio,) District in Congress, recently de
livered a vigorously sensible and patriotic
speech in the House in favor of prosecu
ting the war for its original and declared
purposes, the restoration of the Union and
the vindication of the Federal authority.
We regret that the pressure on our news
columns, just now, puts it out of our pow
er to publish it entire. We hope to make
room for lengthy extracts from it, howev•
sr, in a future number.

THE PRESIDENT and EMANCIPATION
IN THE BORDER SLAVE STATES.
The late brief Message of the President
to Congress, enclosing the draft of a bill
providing for compensating the people of
the Border States if they will abolish slav
ery, will be found in another column.
The proposition of the President that
the Border Stags abolish slavery, and that
the Northern people, through the Federal
Government, "foot the bill" in good part,
is a novel and interesting project, and
likely to command a large share of public
attention. In our opinion, it is a most in
opportune and impolitic suggestion, and
likely to result in exciting apprehensions
I (which had been, to a great degree, allay
ed,) among the people of the States direct
ly interested, for the safety of their "pecu
liar institution" at the hands of the Ad
ministration. Beside this, it will do
much to confirm the declarations of South
ern fire-eaters and demagogues that this
war has been undertaken and is being
prosecuted for the purpose of freeing the
negroes, rather than for the great and pa
triotic object of restoring the Union and
perpetuating the Constitution of our fath
ers. For these reasons, if for none other,
we deprecate the policy proposed to be in
augurated toward negro slavery in the
States, and cannot but regard the mere
suggestion of it as exceedingly unhappy at
this critical juncture in our affairs. If we
have any knowledge of the limits of Feder
al authority over this vexed and vexatious
subject of slavery, the Government has not
the shadow of a right to meddle with the
institutions of any State, nor to force slav
ery
or freedom upon any people, nor to
dictate the policy which shall prevail upon
any particular subject or toward any par
ticular interest in any State or States. It
is reasonable to presume that the citizens
of each and every State understand their
own business, know what local legislation
the/ require, and are competent to the dis
charge of all their duties and obligations
as well to the Federal Government as
to themselves. To take anything else
for granted would be to question their ca
pacity and deny their right to govern
themselves; and whenever we are prepared
for such an assumption or admission we
are ready to espouse views at variance
with all our preconceived opinions and at
war with the great principles of popular
liberty which underlie our political system.
Whatever others may think, it. is our
honest conviction that the Abolition of ne
gro slavery has nothing to do with the suc
cessful termination of thiti war. It was
begun for no such purpose, and to divert
it to that end would be to embarrass the
cause, if not to defeat the high and holy
object of the struggle. As soon as the
Federal authorities come to this convic
tion, reach this conclusion, (and we doubt
not they will eventually,) the difficulties
and embarrassments of the war and the
unfortunate divisions of sentiment which
have prevailed and still prevail among the
people will disappear, and a glorious and
triumphant overthrow of Treason and Re
bellion speedily and inevitably follow.
Of Mr. Lincoln's motives in recommend
ing this measure, and in approving others I
equally ill-timed and ill-advised, we have
but little to say. His opinions are doubt- 1
less as honest as those of other men, and
we would be sorry to think his love of '
country and his desire to perpetuate the
Union less cordial and earnest than those
which animate every patriot. But, notwith
standing this, in the opinion of a large
body of loyal supporters of the Govern
ment,
-
as well as of sincere well-wishers of
his Administration, he is mistaken in think
ing the policy he proposes in this matter
of Border State Emancipation, and in oth
er regards, the best and wisest which could
be adopted. Neither this, nor other ex
treme measures concerning slavery, will
prove ft.' panacea for our national ills, nor
the solution pf our national difficulties.—
On the contrary, their only effect will be to
alarm and irritate, and to widen the great
gulf already separating the two sections.
While we have no imputations to cast on
the motives and patriotism of the Presi
dent, we by no means regard him as infal
lible, and believe he may be as much mis
led and mistaken as less conspicuous and
less intelligent men. That he should not
' have approved many of the measures of
the present Congress, and that he should
not have recommended others, is our sin
cere conviction, and we have no hesitation
in expressing it. At the same time, we
indulge the earnest hope that the national
cause, which is the cause of good order
and of popular governmet every where,
may rise above and superior to the machi
nations of its enemies and to all the clogs
and weights its mistaken friends may fas
ten upon it, and that the prowess of our
arms and the fidelity of the people may
perpetuate the national liberty and unity
to us and our descendants. We want no
better Government than the one we have,
nor could a better or more generous and
liberal one be devised. If it is not pre
served, the guilt'of the failure will be at
tributable, in no inconsiderable degree, to
the misdirected zeal, and persistent folly
and fanaticism of Abolitionists and their
sympathizers.
PRESIDENT L.T110015.
In common with all conservative men,
we accord the President great praise for
announcing his purpose to veto the Con
fiscation Bill unless it was freed from cer
tain unconstitutional and highly objec
tionable features:—
"Ile told Senators and Representatives
the reasons of his objections, and that un
less Congress modified the bill to remove
these objections, he would veto the mea
sure. The factionists and ultraists were
indignant. They would never recede.—
Mr. Lincoln drove to the capitol, occupied
the Vice President's room, told the Sena
tors they might do as they pleased, but he
would write his veto message, and forth
with commenced to do so. Ultraism was
furious; faction shrieked, cursed and
swore, but Lincoln said that only "remind
ed him of an old fellow," &c., and contin
ued writing his veto message. In the
course of a few hours, the crazy politicians
calmed down; the sands of the session
were fast running away, and at last a joint
resolution, declaring that the confiscation
did not and should not apply as originally
intended, was introduced and passed.—
This joint resolution the President signed,
holding it to be in point of fact part of the
original bill; but for the benefit of Congress,
in communicating notice of li is assent, be
also communicated a copy of his veto mes
sage that he had prepared for the original
bill. The whole was entered on record.
All honor to the President. lie faced
the radicals, laughed at their malice, ridi
culed their threats and made them sub
mit !
The confiscation bill, as modified, pro
vides punishment for treason and rebellion
committed after the passage of the act, and
is not retrospective ; and it does not work
a forfeiture of real estate beyond the life
of the convicted party."
THE COST OF COLLECTING THE
TAXES.
The cost of collecting the taxes under the
new Tax bill, is estimated at nearly four
million of dollars on $110,000,000. The
bill provides for a whole army of office-1
holders and their salaries and fees will
range from $lO,OOO to 1,000. Each col-1
lector is to receive, as compensation for
his services and those of his deputies, a
certain commission on the amount of
money collected, the total of which is
limited to $lO,OOO per annum for each
collector. Each Assessor is to receive $3
per day when making preparations, issuing
instructions, etc.; and $5 per day when
engaged in the performance of the regular
duties of his office. They are also to re
ceive a commission of one dollar for each
hundred names on the tax lists which they
furnish to collectors. Assistant Assessors ,
receive a salary of $3 per day, and the
same commission as Assessors.
OUR LOSS IN THE BATTLES BEFORE
RICHMOND.
The New York limes says that the fol
lowing statement, which comes from an
official source, may be relied upon as being
a perfectly correct enumeration of the
Union losses of killed, wounded and miss
ing during the six days' battle before
Richmond :
Corps of Gen. Franklin 9 ,737
Corps of Gen. Stunner 9 ,086
Corps of Gen. Keyes 777
Corps of Gen. Heintzelman 2,073
Corps of Gen. Porter ..7,352
Corps of Cavalry 175
Corps of Engineers 23
Total
The Richmond papers call the Tues
day's battle the severest and bloodiest in
history. So, indeed, it was to them, but
not to ns. They confess that one brigade
went into the combat with 14,000 men, and
came out with 6,000. It is no wonder,
with such results following such high and
sanguine expectations, that the rebels
"sing small" about their triumph. They
might exclaim as did once King Phyrrus
of old, when, after a very severe and des
perate struggle he obliged the Romans to
retreat—" One more such victory and I am
ruined."
REPORT ON ORDIANOE OONTRAOTS,
The final report of Messrs. Holt and
Robert Dale Owen, Commissioners on Ord
nance Contracts, is made. They say that
they have effected a saving to the Govern
ment, on the contracts for arms made pri
or to the accession of the present Secre
tary of War, to the amount of $17,000,000.
They point out three errors in these con
tracts :
Ist. That twice as many arms were con
tracted for as were needed.
2d. That Springfield muskets were con
tracted for at twenty dollars a niece, al
though sixteen dollars afforded a fair prof
it to the manufacturer, and plenty of man
ufacturers were willing to furnish them 'at
that price.
3d. That there has been a total disre
gard of the Act of March 20th, 1809, which
requires all such contracts to be preceded
by public advertisement.
The Confiscation Bill Approved.
WASHINGTON, July 17.—The Presi
dent has approved of the Confisca
tion Act, and the act supplementary
thereto, in addition to various other
bills of a public and private nature.
Stir McArone, in Vanity Fair, issues a
proclamation, declaring that "niggers and
martial law in a free country are altogeth
er incompatible ; the niggers are, there
fore, declared to be forever white."
stir The Democrats of New York car
ried at the late spring elections 417
towns. In 1860 they bad but 208 towns.
They have doubled the number of their
townships since Lincoln was elected.
NON. RUE LAMS.
We are highly gratified to notice that
Greene, Washington and Beaver counties
have unanimously nominated the Hon.
Jaws LAZEAR as the Democratic candidate
for Congress in the new district, and it is
thought that Lawrence will do the same.
This is a high compliment to a worthy
representative and a good man. Tae con
test may be a close one, but it is thought
by Gen. Lazear's friends that he can be
elected ; and we hope he may be trium
phantly. He is not a noisy member, be
it said to his credit, but he,has proven
himself one of the most industrious, able
and faithful members in the House. The
interests of his constituents are all faith
fully guarded, and the welfare of the coun
try is entirely safe in the hands of such
men. Although he has been comparative
ly powerless in the present fanatical body,
as were all the noble and conservative
men in it, the knowledge and experience
he has gained will be i nva l ua bl e t o hi m
and his constituents hereafter.—Genius of
Liberty.
ADJOURNMENT OE CONGRESS.
Both Houses of Congress adjourned at
two o'clock, P. a., yesterday. The session
has been a very important one, and has
transacted an unprecedented amount of
business. Whether its legislation has al
ways been wise or politic will bear ques
tioning. During the session the enormous
sum of $800,000,000 has been appropri
ated, i ncludi ng upwards of $500,000,000 for
the army, and somewhat less than $lOO,-
000,000 for the navy. A number of highly
important bills have been wisely laid over
until next session, and on several bills
which passed the House no action was to.
ken by the Senate. Among the last acts
signed by the President was one author
izing postage and other Government stamps
as currency, and prohibiting banks and
other corporations from issuing notes be
below the denomination of one dollar for
circulation.
The most important bills of the session,
however, are the confiscation bill, with
the supplement added, to obviate the
President's well-known objections to the
main bill, and the new enlistment bill.—

Casualties in the Eighth Regiment.
Doctor T. 0. 4.llernan, of the Bth
Pennsylvania Reserves, gives a terri
ble description of the scenes through
which this i egiment, passed during
the late retreat from before Rich
mond. The regiment, he writes, was
commanded by Col. George S. Hays,
of Pittsburgh, who had a horse shot
under him, and has suffered so se
verely, from injuries sustained by his
horse falling upon him while charg
ing his regiment upon a rebel bat
tery, that he is totaly disabled from
duty, and has accordingly resigned.
Lieut. Col. Oliphant, of the same
regiment, took paralysis two days
after the fight, caused by exposure
and over exertion in battle; he is
entirely deaf and has no use what
ever of his limbs. Major Baily, of
the same regiment, was shot through
the head. This regiment march
ed into battle numbering eight hun
dred and sixty .one men; there are
but three hundred left, and of those
one hundred and seventy-seven are
in the hospital. But six commission
ed officers are left in this regiment,
the balance have been either killed
or captured.
Not in vain, then, lives upon
earth a true and good man—not in
vain a sweet and gentle woman—
never for naught are beautiful deeds,
and heroisrns, and voluntary suffer
ings, and generous labors, and sub
lime endeavors and selt•sacrifiee, and
magnanimity, and faith, and courage,
and hope, and love;
this
graces
and human virtues in this world.
