FRIDAY MORNING, DEC; 6, 1801. Poe Hotel Arrivals Eee fourth page. - The Message—What U Said of It. 7 rfSe Chicago Tribune interprets the Hear ' tag* by whatit knows of 'the ■ opinions of -'“the-President,-rather than by- wbatjt says :• "Tjte cautious-language' which Mr. lan - cola employs,' doer not hide from as, who /;. know* the deep moral convictions of the man, -the-purpose .that he has in Tiiw, nor the v hSly hotc, which he most feel, of that giant iniquity that has at last brought war and desolation into this land. He has come, . .-—lf not fully up to.our advanced position, at least within easy hail of those who have .. been looking anxiously back to see what progress, he would. make. Congress will ' take himat his word. The members of that Zr-ibody, if we may judge by what has trans tr/‘ pired already, will interpret his meaning . *’ in a way with which we even shall be con ' ’ * lent. :: We know not what.form their legis ,-<v lation will take; but of this w;e are assured, ' and'the Message is a warrant for what we ■, say, that in the deliberate action of the Re . presentatives/of: the People, the President *•' will gladly acquiesce.” Cincinnati Commercial is only partly pleased. Usays: r 4-: ; /‘lt.is not a great State paper. As for its style—enough is said when we observe that Mr. Lincoln certainly wrote U himself. %.V;‘.The"homely honesty of the President never appeared in more rugged form than • in this'Message; and there are not want ... iug evidence of that singular combination of straighuforward indifferent obstinancy '• 'and almost tlitioroas indecision which markka --his'Character. M, i ! upfae omission to disease the- “domestic controversy.” Out "of which-the'war has c . Bprung. and Oie quaint Lincolnian“phrsse ology with; which, he takes leave of that 'Subject, are charming. In brief, the Presi dent ha»: evaded the nigged issue, and w leaves the everlaSlingslavery-question still - ‘ adrift in the terrible rapids of the civil war, . with the roar of a political Niagara nigh." The Cincinnati Qazet(e~is veryjieTere in its criticisms. The Philadelphia Bulletin says.;../ .* : On the topic which excites so much in . - terest at present—the disposition to be made of- the slaves of rebels—the Presi- dent does not come up~to~the wishes of the people'of the North; but he probably thinks ' ' it is, at present, better to consult the wishes [ of the people of the Border Slave States, ~j> —who are the most nearly interested in the ' matter. . .. • . The New York CbmnerctaHs warm inits praises: . • ,This admirable document is all that could be expected from the drank, straightforward .and honest pen of the President. It is Abraham Llncolnm every line, ingenuous, direct, unqualified, cautious, thorough and .'. .loyal to the very core—not merely loyal to .to, the Stars and Stripes; but loyal to'the znost sacred principles of r tbe Constitution. is the work of a clear-headed man, sea ** ‘ jible of the gravity of the' time, re . . sponsive tothe vast burden of trust de volved upon him. “contraband’* ‘question of course / merits the consideration of the President. »■ -.. It is. no secret that he signed the confisca* lion actiiTAugust, reluctantly, and it has. ’ been evident that he would lend himself to none of the schemes which are foisted upon ■ . the ; public,and to which the passion and . the imagination of so many respond. He : discusses the question from his old consti* tutional stand-point, and suggests the rem . edyby colonisation for these waifs who did, -“owe labor or service,” botrwho have in “7; “some way- lost the means of meeting the obligation. , The colonitation scheme is similar- to that of Henry Clay. At all 1 evanta, the President desires, to get rid of the blacks : freed by the war,' and erect for them, somewhere, an empire of theit own. Tho New York Evening Beet speaks in the kindest manner of the President, as in fact an ‘ the ‘ papers do, with one or two excep ; . tions. •It says: •• • The official paper just transmitted to -Congress by the President is not socharac . teriatic in manner as his former messages 'r;' - have been.: There is the same tone of mod ‘Wration, the'same embarrassed sense of high responsibilities, and the same fixed devotion ‘ ' /: to the- great fundamental principles of our . popular theory of government. , On the question of the general policy of * in the father conduct of the) war, the Massage seems to us to want Velesynessl We have read it several times .with all the attention that we could muster, bat we confess to only a vague apprehen sion of what it'means. Sir. Lincoln is evi • dently not yet decided in his own mind, ' »*- and he communicates his hesitation to his ' words. -- He asserts -his anxiety to con- the war to the simple issue of re* storingthe Union, which is the object .J.of.sll He deprecates any. hasty or extreme measnrea of a radical rev olutionary character, in which he only ut ' :'ters the sentiments of all parties. His ev ’ ideut eagerness to dispose of the slavery question without provoking any violent convulsion is-honorable to his feelings ’of ' humanity. But with all this, it will be felt unlversaUy tbat he does not meet either the necessities or the difficulties of the case .with sofficient determination. • That something must be done with the 7:.,negro population of the insurgent states he '[ ' ‘ ■ is/painfuily aware, but his view of practi " ' caf solutions is limited and perplexed. He hints at a possible colonisation of the Afri . . can race, bond and freey-but in the same V breath' he tells us of the importance and .dignity of labor. But if labor be so im portant and dignlficd as he represents, and represents truly, why. seek to banish so much of it from the nation?. "Our great want in. this country, at all times, u of -strong arms and willing hands ; we en - courage immigration from abroad therefor; , and it would, under all the lights ot politi cal economy, be a suicidal stroke to dimin ji; iah 'The southern sums in particular are absolutely deficient of-labor, so much so-ihat leading men haye thought "'V of introducing it by force from Africa, and . , • we: do not see the propriety of rendering that deficiency larger.. Besides, if the cot -ton and rice plantations can only be worked ' by blacks—as the southern statesmen al most unanimously assert—why resort to a scheme of depopulation which would leave ' r them ultimately ; abandoned and desolate? • 7. Barely our fine tropieal districts are deserv - Jng of a better treatment. ' The Hew Tork World is 1 delighted with the Message. It i*j»: It probably suffers somewhat from Us hasty •' by telegraph, but its language ;it clear, terse and intelligible, and it is ftee . from the wearisome prolixity which has here tofore made Presidents' messages 10 heavy. The President assigns to the subject of sla very Its proper rank end subordination among the questions relating to the management of tho war. It la pot, In his estimation, a great ; ? question, but a minor question. The Hew York TVwes seys: ~~ 1 ' President's' Lincoln's Message is precisely ■ u sqch a document as any.one fkmiitay with his character, would have anticipated. Jt is clear, unpretending, frank and perfectly loyal to the declaration and acts of.hu whole political life. In regard to the question of slavery, Prcsi .

It »7« : : -v.-ift The first rogulur annoal;-Meai»ge of Presi dent “Lincoln to th<riwo HouSei'of Congress is before oar readers. ' They will find it a plain, concise, unpretending, baainets-like- exposi tion of our foreign and domestic afikirs, and the reader will lay it d«Wh r satisfied from its intrinsic evidences that Ihe aothor of this State paper is fully entitled to his familiar designation of “Honest Abe Linnoln/*- The New York lW6»*e draws a contrast between the Message of Mr. Lincoln and that of Jeff. Davis. “The latter is quite com monly presumed the abler of the two; he is certainly the better- grammarian; and he knows how to use the English language with decided perspicuity and force.” tin temper, however, Lincoln, has the decided advantage. The Tribune says: Mr. Lincoln placet the duty of preserving the Union abore all conflicting considerations; and thefrih he is clearly right. He defers to the judgment of Congress, and will doubtless abide by that judgment. It is a very open secret that he was utterly averse to the Con fiscation Aet, and signed it with great reluct- j ance; but be now intimatesno Ungering v doubt j of the policy or Juetloe of-that aet. He may i be late to realixe the necessity of still sterner measures aimed at the source and mainspring of the rebellion; but he will not defeat the . will of the loyal people, as embodied and ex pressed by their representatives. Hand in hand the Executive and the masses have en -tered upon this tremendous struggle, and they will not, they most not, Cell out by the way to its triumphant conclusion. That the integrity of the Union should be the paramount object of loyat' Americans in this contest, is on all ~ hands conceded. The practical question is—-Can this end be promo ted by farther deference to and .bolstering np ofSlavery ? While rebel corsairs are sinking and burning our unarmed merchant vessels on the oeeao, shall we recognise and uphold the claim «f rebels to property, in human beings ? We say; No-r-it is dangerous, fatal to do so; it is siting a foctious and unjust strength to the : Enblifl enemy; it is cherishing the viper which as its fangs now fastened in the National breast. Notify the slaveholders frankly that they may have thirty or sixty days more in which to lay down their arms and return to loyalty; but if they shall continue to defy the National authority and menace the National existence after the expiration of that term, their slaves shall, as a matter of inexorable pnblio policy—nay, as a means of saving the National life at a cost less than ruinous—be proclaimed free, and invited to make their way to the Union lines, and there be recognised and treated as freemen. Such is the policy . which we believe most effective and most mer ciful, and we trust it will yet receive the Pres ident’s hearty concurrence. Sewardisms. A correspondent of the Standard, .writing from Washington, gives the following as the most recent declaration of Mr. Seward in relation to the war, which, he intimates, he heard from his own lips: “The effective part," he said, "of the war, on our side, is over. There may be more fighting—out the Uu of it the rurer tee are of tpeedy peace. Every battle saved—which can be honorably avoided—-is a gain to the cause of the Union. The real danger is over. If we escape danger in our foreign affairs,.all will be well" This is as oracular as the brief speech of Mr. Seward in acknowledging a serenade on Monday evening, that “in two days the country would rejoice in great news. w If the Secretary is truly represented by both these reporters, then the great news would seem to be peace and not a battle, os battles now stand in the way of a “speedy peace.'' We don't pretend, however, to explain the words, bat merely to report them.—-V. Y. Tribune. #s this the reason why there is no fight* ingon the Potomac? Wo do not pretend to understand the mysteries of diplomacy, nor why -it is necessary to keep near seven hundred thousand men with arms in their hands, if the less fighting is to result in the more speedy peace. This is a new way of conquering a peace, which the soldier will scarcely apprehend, though it may be perfectly clear to our astute diplomatists. It is an old saying, that the way to pre serve peace is to prepare for war, and pos sibly it is in the light of this adage that we are to solve this riddle. What about that “irrepressible conflict?" The Temper of Congress. Me. Forket, in his "Occasional’’ letter to the Prat, dated the 3d, says: A single days observation and inter course among the members of Congress has the conclusion that with two or three insignificant exceptions, the Senators and Representative* agree in utter detestation of the whole rebellion, and in the uncompromts ing spirit , of putting it down at Whatever cost. Among those most urgent and -resolute in taking these positions are * Democrats. There is, indeed, a good deal of difference as to the means or manner of giving effect, to this policy. Some are for a declaration of the slaves of the insur gents ; others for the confiscation of slave property; and another class for levying a tax upon the slave holders, -so that they L may by such a process feel the heaviest burden of the war. But on all sides , as well on . the pari of Thaddeut Stevens 'in the House, and Lyman Trumbull tn the Senate, as well among the ultra Republicans as among the ultra~Democrats, .there ii an open expres sion that the property ofthe loyal slave hold trs shall be protected or paid for . A good deal of unnecessary clamor has been crea ted by mischievous men on this subject. The friends of the Administration and the war have only to keep their eye on the is sue on which they really do agree as above stated, and they cannot divide. One great truth stands out prominently, that the prop erty of the traitors is forfeited by the acts "of the traitors, and that it would be unjust to ezeept-property in slaves from this rule. All our loyal people ask that the hous es and lands, and gold and silver, and stocks and securities, and cotton and pow der, and cannon and ships, of Jefferson Davis and his robber associates should be confiscated, and, rather than it should be used to d&mage~ond destroy the Union, should be annihilated. Would it not .be monstrous for us to except from this rule the slaves of Davis and his-followers 9 How to dispoae of the slaves, whether they, shall be liberated or armed—whether the owner ship in them shall be confiscated or taxed —are matters wisely left by the President and Secretary of War to the military au thorities. No doubt Congress will pass some law by which these authorities may be guided in the disposition of this vexed question.” ... The Proposed Redaction of Civil Ex penses. Mr. Sherman's proposition to reduce the civil expenses of the government is.a radical measure. It redaoes the salaries of- mombers of Congress and all clerks attached to .the gov ernment who hare salaries above a certain amount. If the bill passes lt'wili save the Treasury tho expenditure of millions. But already tho opposition to the measure is very powerful. . Members of Congress, clerks, de partmental and otherwise), are pecuniarily interested in retaining the old “salaries. 80 strong is the opposition that'it is dohbtfui If it will pass. Mr. Sherman contends that tho ordinary exponses of the government must be reduced. With little rerenuo except that, received from direot taxation, it has be comb.neceisary to greatiy curtail the national expenditures. By tho exercise of a judicious economy “twenty-fire millions can .bo : .saved from tho average expenses of the government as they were before, the rebellion broke out. This, bf course, does not includd tho extraor dinaryexpenditures incident to the war. It is belierea that ihe: Secretary of the. Treasury will recommend some sucluaeasure as imper atively necessary. The president and^eniCamerorii [Froni tbc NMrTorfcTritiWH'.] _ o* The our dally of yesterday 1 morning" may have been surprised tC'fii»d no allusion to the topic which excited ; most interest at.:the Federal Metropolis— ■ namely, the reported disagreement benveen'j the President and Secretary ot' War, with 1 regard to that portion of the Report of the ! latter which treats of the use to be made i of the slaves of rebels. Other journals had • information on this subject; we had none; simply because, while their Washington dispatches respecting it were allowed to come through in due course, ours were sup pressed by the Government censor in the Washington telegraph office. Having re ceived it by mail, we give as a part of the history of the times, simply remark ing that we do v not understand that it was suppressed for lack of truth, but rather for excess of it. THE SUPPRESSED DISPATCH Washington, Dec. 2, 1861 The call of the roll had scarcely ended in' the House, when the temper of the people was strikingly manifested by their repre sentatives hastening, without delaying a moment for Presidential or other message, jp pass a resolution emancipating the slaves of rebels within the military jurisdictions. Before the vote upon it was recorded V painful -rumor pervaded the Hall that the President had taken • open issues j on this very question with Secretary Cameron, and had recalled from the Philadelphia Post Office the undelivered copies of the Wir Departments-Report which the latter had mailed yestewlay for,theuseof the newspaper preaß. The city was filled with rumors of a break ing up of the Cabinet, apd the influence of the revolution we are passing through, in attaching men to principle while weaken ing their hold on laws and forms, was ev erywhere strikingly and most suggestively conspicuous. The excitement occasioned by this Executive opposition to the neces sities of the war and to the popular will, to-night sways the hotels and p&ttors of of the city. The history of the difference between the President and the Secretary of War has at last taken shape. The Secre tary presented his report to Mr. Lincon on Saturday. On Sunday afternoon he mail edit to the priucipol papers of the North and West, as is customary on the day pre ceding the reading of the Message. On Sunday night the President, hav ing found time to read it, found it not in his heart to agree with tbp Secretary's doc trine of the right and the duty, to make a military ÜBe of the slaves of rebels—to arm them, if necessary—and in all ways to use them as we would any other property of the rebels to suppress this rebellion. He sent for Mr. Cameron, and required him te suppress this whole portion of his report, on the ground that its recommendation was premature and ill-timed. The Secretary promptly and resolutely refused to suppress a word of it. ’ The discussion between them was protracted. It ended as it begun, the President insisting upon the alteration, and the Secretary respectfully but firmly re fusing to change a syllable of his recom mendations. interview in the afternoon had a similar conclusion of debate, but a new and strange conclusion of Executive will. The President announced his purpose to strike out the entire passage about the emancipation and arming of the •laves Wore sending in the report with his Message to Congress. Mr. Cameron de clared.he should not recall or suppress the document in the hands of Northern and Western editors, and that the printers were at liberty to do with his report what they < pleased. Which of the two copies will the people read and army prefer? The above statement Accounts for the fact that Mr, Cameron’s report was reclaimed by orders of the President himself. Tho re-, port, as w« have published it, is Mr. Cam eron’s, and the ono he stands by—tho ap pended short referenco to the slavery ques tion is the President's addition, after having struck out what. Mr. Cameron said about slavery. It is a strange story altogether. The statement which the Tribune makes in relation to the refusal of the Government censor to permit his despatch to come over the telegraph line, is startling. Every other New York paper of Tuesday morning had some reference to the troubles ou foot except the Tribune, and we could not ac count for it. Now it is plain. The Enemy in Missouri Making Prograss. A Cairo letter in the St boute'Repvbliean makes these interesting statements : “Five hundred negroes are at work throw ing up intrenchments at New Madrid,-Mo., and heavy huns will soon be mounted upon them. Precisely similar news came from Columbus two or three mouths ago. That place wah then, as Hew Madrid has been lately, entirely unprotected, and presenting a fair field of occupation for Union troops. The latter had to remain idle in their camps, , while a strong position but a few miles be yond and directly in the path they would soon have to pursue was being rendered as impregnable as aVt and labor could make it. Now, Columbus stands a formidable barrier to any descending fleet, and will, in the ca rnation of military men, be won cheaply if costing only a couple of hundred lives. How that that place has been made so strong, Confederate attention is directed to another point, where they can also stand behind batteries, which strengthen spots already having many natural defences. And then the Confederate labor Is performed by bondsmen, while the Union volunteers have to throw up their own breastworks. "Price, with a formidable army, is still active and unharmed, while the forces(gath ered at Columbus and New Madrid cannot be met successfully by any insignificant army, The foe is increasing instead of di-. minishing in numbers, and simply because he has so far in this section experienced but little reverses, and, consequently, no demor ilisation. These are unwelcome truths, but still none the less apparent, and the sooner government wakes up to the task before it the better. In a few weeks New Madrid will be among the Confederate strongholds. More men have got to be placed in this de partment, or the Mississippi war on our part bids fair to be a failure.” Five hundred negroes throwing up iu trenchmonts ia all right among rebel*, but we keep white men to do that work, and . send the negroes bock to work for' the use of the rebels 1 That is polity for you. What is Done in the National Cap v ital. A Washington correspondent develops the cause of the movement in the Senate, in reference to imprisonment of negroes, asfollows: SLAVES IMPRISONED "Two or three Congressmen weut over jthe city jail this morning. They found more thsn'fifly slaves confined there* twenty or thirty of whom are tho staves of rebels now in arms against the government. One of thenristhe slave of Capt. Dunnington, late of the Capitol police. The boy is sixteen years old) and he has lain in this jail eight months, on do charge but that of beings slave. His bid master now commands a rebel battery on tho Potomac,. afld r rewards tho government for its kind care of his slave property by firing shells into Federal vessels that attempt to pass his battery. There is one boy only - too years old there, a slave; who wa# brought in from Minor's Hill by our pickota. His master is in the rebel army. Another fel low, John H. Parker, is owned by one David Hone, a rebel* soldier. . He (the slavo) has been'employod at the, government stables in this.ouy, and Was suddenly thrown lhto jati oriuo charge;- the goyejmment, still owing him for one 'month’s ‘work.

He has. ,:been in /ait eleven weeks. charge but •f ihat of being ii slave.” "- r - -' : •* Aiding the Enemy* Tiro paragraphs in our speciaTdispatch from Cairo, in Monday’s Gazette, are a suggestive coincidence. One states that three negroes, from below, presented themselves to the pick et guard, at Bird's Point, and were taken be fore Col. commander, who order ed them to be sent back-through the lines, apd not to roturn again. This is supposed to be according to General -Halleck’s general orders. The other paragraph states that it is con firmed that Jeff. Thompson has four hundred negroes working on fortifications at New Madrid. So we suppose that by grace of Col. Ogelsby he has four hundred and three. Per haps it would bo just to include them all as retained in the rebel service by our policy. In the same paper a Southern dispatch stated that Qov. Moore, of Louisiana, reviewed four teen hundred colored soldiers. The blood of Northern soldiers must be ebeap in the valu ation of a Government which furnishes the labor to bnild the fortifications by which they are slaughtered. Our suicidal war policy is like tho code of honor of the Japanese digni tary, who takeß satisfaction of his enemy by committing hari kari.—Cin. Gazette. We commend the above to all those tender hearted people who aro.so dreadfully -afraid of injuring tho rebels, and whoso conscience will not admit ,of violating the Constitution by emancipating the slaves of traitors, but had rather sond them baek to work on rebel in trenohments 1 Gen. Halleck should receive the thanks of the rebel Congress 1 The Report or* the Secretary or War. —Tho Philadelphia Press says that the “Report of the Secretary of War. is one of the moat ably written documents that ever emanated from Washington.” - This is strong language, bu« the report is>a master piece for style, vigor, force, and distinct ness’. There is a genial warmth about it, and a directness of purpose which com mands attention and respect. There is no mistaking Mr. Cameron on any subject touched upon iu his report, and he bus shown that he understands the greatness of the crisis, and that he has the courage to Scuker on Halleck. —A despatch from Washington says that Senator Sumner made some severe comments in the Senate this morning upon General Halleck's reefirit order forbidding slaves to enter tho lines of the Western army. Mr. Sumner censured the course of Halleck as a mistaken and mischievous policy. Mr. Sumner Ui right. Halleck’ a ordor is mischievous, impolitic, unjust and cruel, and the President, whoso promptly revoked the eminently just and politicproclamation of Gen. Fremont, should restrain liis suc cessor from carrying out his reprehensible policy.
