If a new’law upon the same subject shall be proposed, Its propriety will~bo duly considered. The Union,must bo preserved, and hence, all ; fndispensi bio means must bo employed. We should not bo in h&sto to determine that radical and extremo measures, which may reach the loy&l os well as the disloyal, are indispensible. The Inaugural Address, at the beginning of the administration, and the message to Congress at the late special session, -were mainly devoted to the domestic controversy out of. which the insurrection and consequent .war have sprung. Nothing now occurs to add or subtract to or from the principles of gen , stated and expressed in those documents., 7he,lppt ray of hope for pre scrv'm’gLho ’Union' peaceably expired with the assault upon Fort Bumter, ,and a gener al review of what has occunw aince may not be unprofitable. What was painfully uncertain then id much better defined and more distinct, and the progress of events is plainly in the right direction. The in surgents claimed a strong support from noxth of Mason, and Dixon s line, and the friends of the Union were not free from apprehension on that point. This, however, was soon settled definitely and on the right side. South of theline, noble little Delaware lod off right from the first, Maryland was made to soem against the Union, and our sol diers were, assailed, bridges were, burned, and railroads were torn up Within hlor limits, and we were many days at one time without the Ability to bring a iingle regimentoverher soil to the capital. Noy, her bridges and railroads aro repaired and 'bpen to thS Government. She already gives seven regiments to the cause of the and none to the enemy, and her people, at a regular election,, bare -sustained the cause of the Union by a larger majority ‘and a tjp'gor aggregate voto than they ever before gaTo to anyqahdidato on any question. ’ Kentucky, too, for some time in doubt, is now decidedly,' and, I think, un changeably ranged on the sido of the Union. Mlistourl is comparatively, quiet, and, I be lieve, ;cannotagaiQbe.overrun.by the insur rectionists. These throe StatesrrMarylahd, Kentucky and Missouri', neither of which would, promise a single soldier at first, hare now on aggragate-of.not less than forty thou sand in the Hold for tho Union, while of their citizens; certainly not more than a third of that number, and they of doubtful whereabouts and doubtful existence, aro in arms against it. Alter a somewhat bloody strugglo bf months, winter closes on the Union people of Western Virginia, leav ing them masters of their own country. An insurgent force. u£- about 1,600 for months dominating the narrow peninsular region constituting- the counties of Accomao and Northampton, and kuewq ns the eastern shore of togothor with some con- 1 tiguous parts of Maryland, havo laid down their arms, and tho people there have renewed their allegiance and accepted the protection of | tho old flag.. This leaves no armed ineurrcc-"; tlonists north of„ tho Potomac, nor east of I the Chesapeake. J .Also, we havo obtained a | footing at oeeb of tho Isolated points oif the soothers coast 1 of ,Hatteras/Fort Royal, Ty- 1 I bee Island, hoar Savannah, and Ship Island,' ' and wo likowiso-havo some general accounts ofpopnlar. movements.ln'bobalf oftho'Unlon in North Carbljhui W 11& Tenhqsepo.

Tbo officers of the steamship McClellan, just arrived at New York, have famished to tho New York Evening Port the following in foresting Intelligence: > , THE TYBEE ISLAXD HECOSSOISSIKCE. On the day bofore the McClellan soiled she conveyed Gen. Sherman and staff to Xybee Island, which is situated sixteen miles from Hilton Head, just south of thh entrance to the Savannah river, and within eksy range of Fort Pulaski, which guards the entrance to the river, and is, therefore, tho key to Savannah. The object of tho reconnoissance was to fix upon a plan of fortifying the island, so as to make it a baso of operations against Fort Pulaski and Savannah. It is understood to be the intention of our forces to erect mortar batteries at a very early day, with a view to the reduction of. Pulaski. The project is thought to be entirely feasible. When General Sherman and party returned, the gunboat Florida, with Commodore Dupont on board, was proceeding to Tybee Island. This was also for the purpose of reconnoiter ing, with the. same general object as that of the former one.. Commodore Dupont returned the same evening. The following vessels were blockading tho entrance to'Savannah: Seneca, Pocahontas, Savannah, Augusta, Flag. - TAIXAIA’S ATTACK, The attack of Commbdqr*;. jfatnall on the 26th, which has bsen. referred to/ was Rot worthy of the name of a hattle.

Preparations arc going on at Port Royalfor the expedition South; but its destination is not stated. Femandina, for several reasons, is supposed to be the place where the blow will fall. A number of ships are.preparing, and accommodations for fivo thousand troops have been provided. The fallowing vessels, among others, will compose it: Cahawha, 1 Daniel Webster* Oriental, Matanxas, Bolvi dere, Philadelphia, (to cany!horses’,) Empire City* Roanokwand Star of the South. Among the war vessels which were at Port Royal, and, it was supposed, would take part in the expedition, are the .following: Steam frigate 'Wabash/ sloop-of war Dale, the Paw nee, Mohican* Seminole, Isaac JP.

BILTOX BEAU. Contrary to the generally received opinion, no new fortifications have been made by our troops in the vicinity of Fort Walker or at Bay .Point, but the defenoes which were already built havo been strengthened. It is under stood that on tho side of the island towards the mainland defences are erecting. - The entire force of General Sherman’s ex pedition, with the exception [of less than one , thousand men; U ha Hilton’s Head, and is in good-condition. The Urge amount of pro visions of various kinds found them is not yet exhausted. it was understood, when the McClelUn soiled, that Beaufort would be occupied, prob ably the next day, by a force of about five thousand men, which could be easily spared even in addition to the five thousand which would accompany the expedition. > The pur pose of the occupancy was to prevent the sc oossionists from taking possession, and also to retain the considerable amount of property which yet remains there.
