The farmers in Southern Illinois have
been busily engaged for some weeks past
in cotton picking on high grounds, where

ties, and gins are running in every neigh

Gov. Brahlettb, of Kentucky, has do
dined being a candidate for the United

serve as Governor at the sacrifice of his

hope that he might subserve those of the

he should remain at his post until the pub

better assured. I
The question of the supply of corn, and
the large demand for purposes of distilla-
tion, is becoming one of importance to
the Government. The report of the Ag
ricultnral Bureau shows that there is a
deficiency in the corn crop of 137,000 000
of bushels for the present ye*s« eg
tim&ted that fully 600,000,OO0r<rf bushels
will be needed for home consumption,
whereas the total crop is 4OO, -
000,000. The additional tax recom-
mended by the Department on high wines
has largely increased distilling and the de-
mand for grain. As the negeesifies of the
Government are very it -U quite
probable that restrictions will be pnt on
distilleries in Ohio and Illinois, as has
been the case in Kentucky and Tennes

DEMOCRATIC MEETING,
There will be held this evening at the
Democratic headquarters, cornerot Smith
field and Fifth streets, a meeting to take
action relative to our approaching .city
election.
TIIE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
President Lincoln’s late message does
net appear to entirely please any one ; it
iB as remarkable for what it does not say
as for its absurd reoommendationa. It
makes no allusion to our relations with
Mexico —a question that before long is to j
overshadow all others in onr foreign rela- j
tions. He says nothing abont our lately
threatened imbroglio with Great Britian
or France, and, most remarkable of all,
he has not a word about the military oper
ations of the year, their present situation
uor their prospective accomplishments;
and the same is true relative to the navy.
He does not mention a General nor a sol
dier, what they have done nor what they
have failed to do —not a word for the cap
torß of Vicksburg or Port Hudson, not
a word for those who stood up and fought
and won at Gettysburg or Chattanooga—
noi a word tor those who are wasting away
their lives before Charleston —not a word
about Grant, or Meadr, or Banes, or
Gilmore, or Dcpoxt, or Fabragut, or
Dahlgreh. The inevitable negro and how
to secure his freedom, together with re
ducing the Southern States to the condi
tion of conqeared provinces are the great
questions of the message. As an evi
deuce of how this plan for the restora
tion of the Union takes even in the Border
States, we select the following from the
Louisville Journal. That paper remarks:
If our readers would contrast with thiß
plan in all its forma the simple plan of the
Constitution, lot them turn to the inaugu
ml BUdreas of Governor Bramlktte. ‘No
reconstruction* Bays the Governor in that
noble paper, ‘is necessary .’ The Govern
ment is complete— not broken —not de
stroyed : bnt, by the blessings of God,
shall endure forever. A revolted State
has nothing, therefo re, to do but to cease
resistance to law and duty, and return to
its fealty, organize under its Constitution,
as it wa3 before, and would be now but
for tbc revolt, ana thus place itself in
harmony with the Federal Government.
Thus, all that was suspended byro’volt will
be restored to action. Bat will not the
dominant powers require terms other than
these? Will they not require the revolted
States, as a condition precedent to a res
toration of their relation, to adopt either
immediate or gradual emancipation?
These are grave questions and suggestive
of a dangerous and wicked experiment.
We trust to plighted word and constitu
tional faith as guaranty against such an
issno. Nothing but disregard of honorand
the principles of humanity can force such
an issue, and we will not invite sd
evil by battling it into being. Little
that, ere the sands of the year already
waning should run out, this issue would
be forced deliberately by the President.
Yet such is ihc fact. The fact should
awaken the loyal people of the Union.
it most now be apparent to the friends
of the Government everywhere, that they
have nothing to expect from the party in
power or from any member of it. The
last ground of hope, or rather the last
shadow of ground, has vanished. The
rugged issue is before 03. There is, 'under
Providence, hot one defence for the con
servative unionists of the Republic, which
is through co-operation, cn the basis of
single-minded devotion to the country, tor
the overthrow and expulsion of the party
in power at the ballot box. This is
indeed the sole dependence of the Repub
lic itself; and we rejoice to believe, that,
if wisdom and natriotism shall rule the
Conservative counsels, this dependence
will not fail. Never 3nrely in the worlds
history were wisdom and patriotism in
voked by considerations more glorious or
more momentous.
A FELLOW OF IHTFINITE JEST
I We were aware that there wers several
I “gifted minds*’ engagaed in illuminating
I the columns of the Pittsburgh Commer
\cial: but not until yesterday did we dis
cern a delicate and fascinating flow of
j humor, which, wo believe, has been from
1 its commencement, one of its chief char
acterieiics. It may be that we have, be
cause cf our devotion to onr neighbor s
essays upon s ' Nepotism,’’ neglected the
other rich departments of its luminous
columns. In this way we have overlooked
the facetious department of our versatile
contemporary. We regret this, because
we have, we thiuk, a tolerable appreciation
of genuine humor; and apart from the
richness of hir Jon.v Falstaff’s story
about the desperate encounter he had, in
KendJe green, with the imaginary “ men
;n Buckram,we know of nothing in the
way of humor, more rich than one little
article in yesterday’s Commercial. We
select the following sentence a 6 a specimen
of the whole ; it says •
“The Commercial was established to
supply a waut long felt in this community,
that of a first-class, honest, commercial
newspaper; and was not intended for, nor
will it Do made, the organ of any man or
of any clique.”
There is richness for yon, as Sooeers
said to the skim milk; bat we protest
against our highly respectable and talent
ed contemporary piling it on so thick.
We are informed with the fact of its be
ing ‘‘a first class paper,” bat as to its
honesty, that would prove an intricate
question for the Supreme Court to decide.
Its not being the organ of the Mayor “or
another man, ' is also, a nice point for
the ecrntiiijfpf the same impartial tribu
nal, Bat we Qmst not be captions; we are
too touch gr&tifitd with our neighbor's
humor to think of illiberal comment upon
its claims to honesty—a word by the wav
! which Sir, Pektinax McSycopeant said
he never heard mentioned, in Par
liament bnt once, and then it was by a
county member. The idea of persons
who received their principal training in
the Pennsylvania Legislature talking of
honesty is entirely too rich and heavy at
the handle, and none but a genuine and
practiced wag would venture upon such
broad, convulsive jolity.
Politeness goes a good ways. Hejtey
Wasp Beeches says “an impudent clerk
can do as much , injury to his store as the
neglect of the proprietor to advertise his
goods.” Two undoubted and significant
facts which every one interested will
please bear in mind, j

I.incotu'B Mes Mag-e.
We this morning gratify the curiosity
of our readers with the message of Abra
ham Lincoln. Recovering but recently
from an attack of the small pox, some
excuse may be made for the message. It
is bat another exhibition of his weakness
and folly. Why his Cabinet will permit
him to make such q iool of himself, ond
render their country an object of con
tempt and ridicule throughout theTworld,
can only be accounted for on the suppo
sition that it is the easiest way to get rid
of him. They therefore permit him to
have the freest and fullest use of his pen.
To his proclamation cf amnesty ana re
construction we especially invite the at
tention of our readers, and when the
“one tenth” are ready to succumb, we
aak the privilege of announcing it to their
Father Abraham. ■~Enq. y 14 th.

We are gratified to learn that General
John H. Morgan has been heard from
safe in Dixie, having crossed the Ohio
river near Ashland, aud made his way to
the Confederate lines, it is not known
when Gen. Morgan will visit Richmond,
bnt whenever he does it is proposed to
give him a reception suitable to the high
estimation in which he is held by his fel
low citizens of Richmond. — Ewj , \'2th,
Yankoo Hpie&.
We give notice to Gen. Winder and his
people to be on the lookout for one
“Joshua C. Gunnell, an icriuential citi
zen," who her- received permission freftn
the enemy’s War Department to come to
Richmond “for the purpose cf obtaining
the release of several Union men in Castle
Thunder.” The \ ice President cf the
Conf-dc-ratc Mates was refused permission
to vis t Washington upou a similar errand
of mercy, although hi? character was
known, and precluded all idea that he
cogIJ mean to act as a spy. Enq.
Two Companies of t Hvalry Captured
We learn that on Sunday last, an boar
after sunrise, two companies of the Forty

Kara that the blcekaders have chased
the steamer Beanregard aehore, some die

f.vacuiition oi < iiatfaiioogn
Ihs PivsidpM is said to have received
from Colonel Ives, hi« Aid, now with
the Army of Tennessee, a telegraph an
nouncing the evacuation of Chattanooga
by Gen. Grant, and his retreat upon
Nashv.iif, tearing up the railroad behind
him. Wr. understand that Gen. Hardee,
will pursue. What has caused this sud
dec and unexpected evacuation is net
known. By many it is regarded as a
strategic move to commence a new cam
paign. Whatever may be the enemy's
designs 1m wiii tiod his adversary on the
watch and fully prepared. Perhaps the
army under Grant is to undertake the
''On to Richmond," and be engulphed in
that Serbonian bog “where armies whole
have sank"—where McDowell, McClel
lan, Pope, Burnside, Hooker and Meade
have been hurled by Gen.Lee.— Enquirer.
FJgrfct in Orrenbrier County, Vn. |
\\ e understand that a dispatch was yao
terdoy received in official quarters that an
engagement had taken place on Sundav
ast at Greenbrier Bridge, a few miles
from Lowiflburg, between the forces under
Gen. Echols and a largely superior force
of the enemy, who advanced on the turn
pike road leadjng from Lewisburg to
Charleston, iu Kanawha county. Ol the
particulars of (he fight we could learn
nothing, except that Gen. Echols was
compelled to tall back through Lswisburg,
which was afterward occupied by the
enemy. Their force numbered about 4 000 I
under Gen. Averill.— Rich. Dispatch,lCth.
Rebel Conscription Bill.
The conscription bill reported in the
Confederate Congress places every white
person in the army between the ages of 16
and 65, all between 13 and 18, and be
tween 4u and 6o to be placed in the re
served corps, and the rest in the field, the
reserved corps to be used for local defense
and garrison duty, and maybe ordered
beyond their State for thirty days. No
person is to be exempt from service ex
cept unfit for duty. Neither are those
who have furn.shed substitutes to Be ex
empt, or those who have paid commuta
tion money The latter are to be repaid a
portion of their money. The following
however, are t* be exempt Ministers
ot relig.on, superintendents of asylums of
deaf, dumb and blind, and ot the insane
one editor of each newspaper and the em-
ployees in newspaper establishments,
physicians and apothecaries.
Ml&cellaaeocis.
By an explosion of gas iu the Chester
field coal pits. 2a miles from Richmond,
a few days ago, sixteen men were killed
and three others fatally injured. The
overseer, Mr. Raritan, was among the
Killed. b
Major John Seddor. a member of the
Virginia .Senate, is dead. C. W. C. Dun

Precautions against another “Ches
apeake” affair.
The .Government officials are doing
their utmost to discover the haunts and
the mode cfi'fe, while in New York, of
the parties who seized the steamer Ches
apeake, Thus far it has been a pursuit I
of knowledge under difficulties, and yet
enough has been discovered to justify the
government keeping a sharp watch upon
certain persons and places not only in
that city {rat in Jersey ci:y and Brook
lyn.
With a view to placing all suspicions
imrsoßß under a stricter surveilance, the
Provost Marshals, all along the line of the
Hudson River Railroad, and of all other j
roads leading to and from Canada, have
been notified to o! serve increased yig* |
ilance, and in the event of anything trans
piring to justify a reasonable suspicion,
the facts are to be telegraphed to head*
quarters iu New York without delay, to
gether wita such a description of the party
or parties suspected, as will enable the
Government detectives to find them when
wanted.
