the slaves.. ‘‘His plan,”_says the Herald,
(‘wekely amounts to * emawcipatino ths

; It xeszly. amounts to this, as if this was
but little, and rather to be commended.

President's Message.
Fellow" Citizeni of Va Senate and House of
Representatives:
In the midst of uuprecdjlental political
troubles, we bare cau*e.oi7gre*tgr»tiiu<le
to God for unusual good health and most
abundant harvests. You will not bf sur
prised to learn that in the peculiar exigent
cies of the.times our intercourse with for
eign nations has been attended with pro
found solicitude, chiefly turhiug upon our;
own domestic affairs. A disloyal portion
of .the American people havei during the
whole year, been engaged in an attempt-to
divide and destroy the Union. A 'nation
which endures factious domestic divisions
is exposed to-disrespect abroad, and one
party, if not both, is sure, sooner or later,
to invoke foreign intervention. Nations
thus tempted to interfere are not alwftys
able to resist the counsels of seeming ex- ,
pediency and ungenerous ambition,although
measures adopted under such influences
seldom fail to be unfortunate and injurious
to those adopting them.
The disloyal citizens of the United States,
who have offered the ruin of. our country
in return for the 1 aid and comfort which
they have invoked abroad, have received
less patronage and encouragement than
they probably expected. If it were just to i
suppose, as the insurgents have seemed to I
assume, that foreign nations, in this case, ;
discarding all moral, social and treaty;
obligations, would act solely and selfishly |
for the most speedy restoration of commerce,
including especially the acquisition of cot
ton, those nations appear, as yet, not to
have seen their way to their object more
directly or clearly through the destruction
than through the preservation of the Union.
If ve: could, dare to believe that foreign
nations are actuated by no higher princi
ple than this, I am quite sure a sound ar
gument could be made to show them that
they can reach their aim more readily and
easily'by aiding to crush this rebellion than
by giving encouragement to it. The prin
cipal levcr«relied on by the insurgents for
foreign nations to hostility against
us, as already intimated, is the embarrass
ment of commerce. Those nations, however,
not improblably, saw from the first that
it~was the Union which made as well
our foreign os our domestic com
merce. They can scarcely have failed
to perceive that the effort for disunion
produce the existing difficulty, and thatone
strong nation promises more durable peace
and a more extensive, valuable and reliable
commerce than can the same nation broken
into hostile fragments. It is not my pur
pose to review otir. discussions with foreign
states, because whatever might be their
wishes or dispositions, the integrity of our
country" and the stability of. government
mainly depend, not upon them, bat on the
loyalty, virtue, patriotism and intelligence
of the American people. The correspond
ence itsolf, with the uSttal reservations, is
herewith submitted. I venture to hope that
it will appear that wo'^mve.practiced pru
dence and liberality .towards foreign pow
ers, averting causes of irritation, and with
I flrmnesT maintaining our own rights and
I honor. Since, however, it is apparent that
| here, as in every other state, foreign dan-
gore necessarily attend domestic difficul
ties, I recommend that adequate and ample
measures be adopted for maintaining the
public defenses on overy side, While un
der tlijs general recommendation, provision
for defending otir sea coast line already 06-
cars to the mind, I also, in the Borne con*
nection, ask the attention of Congress to
onr great lakes and rivers. It is believed
that some fortifications, and depots of arms
and munitions, with harbor and navigation
improvements, all at well selected points
upon these, would be of great importance
to the national defence and preservation. s
I ask attention tdlhe views of the Secre
tary of War, expressed in his report upon
the same general subject. I deem it of im
portance that the loyal regions of Eaßt
Tehnesteo and Western North Carolina
should be connected with Kentucky and
| other faithful parts of the Union by rail
road. I therefore recommend, as q.military
measure, that Congress provide for the con
struction of such a road as speedily as pos
sible! Kentucky, no doubt, will co-operate,
and through her Legislature make the most
judicious selection of a line. The northern
terminus mast connect with some existing
railroad, and whether the route shall be
from Lexington or Nicholsville to the Cum
berland Gap, or from Lebanon to the Ten
nessee line, in the direction of Knoxville,
or on some still different line, can easily be
determined. Kentucky and the general
government co-operatingf the Wprk can be
•completed in a very short when
done it will be not only of vast present use
fulness, but also a valuable permanent im
provement, worth its cost in all the tempo
rary future.
Some treaties, designed chiefly for the
interests of commerce, and having no
grave political importance, have been ne
gotiated and will be submitted to the Sen
ate for their consideration; Although we
have failed to induce some of the commer
cial powers to adopt desirable melioration
of the rigor of maritime war, we have re
moved all obstructions from the way of
this humane reform, except such as are
merely of and accidental occurrence.
1 invite your attention to the correspon
dence between Her Brittanic Majesty's
Minister, accredited to this Government,
and the Secretary of State, relative the de
tention of the British ship Perlhthtrtj in
June last, by the United Sthtes steamer
Mauaekutetis, tdr a' supposed breach of the
blockade. As this detention was occasion
ed by on obvious- misapprehension of the
facts, and atf'justice. requires that we
should oommit- no belligerent act founded
on strict right, as/Sanctioned by public
law; I recommend that an appropriation be
made to satisfy th^rcsisgnable. demands of
the owners of tta?’vessel, for her detention.
I repeat the recommendation of my pre
decessor in his annual message to Congress
in December last, in regard to the disposi
tion of the surplus which will .probably re
main after satisfying the claims of Ameri
can citizens against China* pursuant to
the awards of- the commissioners under
the act of the 3d of March, 1669. If, how
ever, it should not be deemed advisable to
carry that recommendation into effect, I
would snggest that authority be given for
investing the principal over the proceeds
of the surplus referred to, in good securi
ties, with a view to the satisfaction of such
otherjust claims of our citizens against
China AS bto not unlikely to ariso hereaf
ter in the coarse (if our extensive tnvdd
with that Empire,
By the Act pf the-6th of; August last,
Congress authorized the President to in
struct the commanders of suitable: vessels
to defend themselues against a‘dd to cap
ture pirates. This authority has been ex
ercised in a single instance only.. For the
more effectual protection 'of our extensive
and valuable commerce, in the. Eastern
seas especially, ft seems to me that it would
also be advisable to authorise the comman
ders of sailing vestehuto recapture any
prizes which pirates may make of United
States vessels and their cargoes, and the
Consular Courts now established by law in
Eastern countries to adjudicate the cases
in evpnt that this should not be objected to
by the local authorities.
if any good reason exists why vre should
persevere longer ip jjiibholding our recog
nition of the independence and sovereignty
of Ilayti and Liberia, I am unable to dis
cern it—unwilling, however, to inaugurate
a novel policy in regard to them without
the approbation of dongress.
I submit, for your consideration; the ex-'
pedienoy of an appropriation fornjaintign-'

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

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

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. Tataall
came with his three or tour vessels hear
enough to fin a few shots, which did nadaza
age, and immediately retired.
Tybee Island Is not yot occupied by oar
troops.; but each night a party is 'sent from
our vessels to light a firo. The national col
ors are flying from the lighthouse.
THE NEW EXrsniTIOK.
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. Smith,
Mercury/ Pettit,;P*mbina, Ottawa,’ Unadilla,
and Ellen. ’ '
The Vixen was aasisting in surveying the
localities near Hilton Hoad, and was laying
down buoys, sfca can he used in case of ne
cessity.
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. The secessionists
