in tho rac-s of lite
Yielding to partial and temporary depar
tures from necessity, this is the leading ob
ject of the Government for whose existence
we contend.
I am most happy to believe that the plain
people understand and appreciate tlxla- It
' is worthy of. note tint,' while in this, the
Government's hour of trial, Jarge numbers
of those in the army and navy who have been
favored with the offices have resigned; and
proved false to the hand which had pamper
ed, .them, not one common soldier or com
mon ' sailor is known to have deserted his
'fliigl . Great honor is due to those officers
who remained true, despite the example of
their treacherous associates. But the great
est honor and most important fact of all is
the uncommon firmness of the' common sol
diers and common sailors. To the last man
eo far as known, tiiyy have successfully re
sisted the traitorous efforts of those whose
commands but an hour before they obeyed
as absolute law. This is the patriotic in
stinct of a plain people. They understand,
without an argument, that the destroying of
the Government which was made by
Washington., means no good to them.
Oar popular Government has often been
called an experiment. Two points of it
our people have already settled the suc
cessful establishing and the successful ad
ministering of it. One still remains
its successful maintenance against a for
midable internal attempt to overthrow
it. It' is for them to demonstrate to the
world that those who can fairly carry an
election, can also suppress a rebellion
that ballots are the rightful and peaceful
successors of bullets, and that when bal
lots have fairly and constitutionally de
cided there can be no succcsslul appeal
back to bullets, that there cau be no suc
cessful appeal except to ballots them
selves at the succeeding elections. Such
will be a great lesson of peace, teaching
men what they cannot take by an elec
tion, neither can they take it by war ;
teaching all the folly of being the begin
ners of the war.
Lest there be some uneasiness in the
minds of candid men as to the course of
the Government towards the Southern
States after the rebellion shall have been
suppressed, the Executive deems it prop
er to say it will be his purpose then, as
ever, to be guided by the Constitution
and the Laws, and that he probably will
have nc different understanding of the
powers and the duties of the Federal
Government relative to the rights of
the States and the people, under the Con
stitution, than expressed in the Inaugu
ral Address. He desires to preserve the
Government, that it may be administered
to all as it was administered by the men
who made it. Loyal citizens, everywhere,
have the right to claim this of their Gov
ernment, and, the Government has no
right to withhold or neglect it. It is not
perceived that iu giviug it there is any
coercion, any conquest or subjugation,
in any just-Senac of the term.
The Constitution provides, and all the
States have accepted the provision, that
the United States shall guaranty to every
State in the Union a republican form of
Government. But if a State may law
fully go out of the Union, having done
so, it may also discard the republican
form of Government; so that, to prevent
its going out, it is all indispensable to
use every means to the end of mantain
iugthe guarantee. When an end is law
ful and obligatory the indespensablo
means to obtaiu it, are alib obligatory.
It is with the deepest regret that the
1 Executive found the duty of employing
the war power iu defence of the Govern
ment forced upon him. He could but
perform his duty or surrender the exis
tence of the Government. No compro
mise by public servants could in this
case be made. Not that compromises
are not often proper, but that no popular
government uau long survive a marked
precedent, that those who carry an elec
tion can only save the Government from
immediate destruction .by giving up the
main point upon which the people gave
the election. The people themselves,
and not their servants, can safely reverse
their own deliberate decisions. As a
private citizen the Executive could not
have consented that these institutions
shall perish; much less could he, in be
trayal of so vast and so sacred a trust
as these free people had conSded to him.

The President's Message.
Speaking of President Lincoln's Mes
sage, the New York World an indepen
dent newspaper say3 :
It is calculated to set at rest all appre
hensions if, indeed, any have ever been
honestly entertained that the President
would ever allow this struggle to be
brought to a pusillanimous close by an ig
noble compromise with the traitors. True,
there is not iu the Message any of that
spurious energy which consists iu the pi
ling up of vehement expressions ; for the
President is perfectly self-poised, and
reasons throughout the document in that
easy, familiar, common-sense way which
implies the consciousness of a strong na
ture that he will be found equal to his
duties. But with this absence of any
straining to appear resolute there is suffi
cient evidence that having ''put his foot
down firmly," he will keep it down. The
strong things in the Message are all the
mire impressive from the simplicity and
absence of bluster with which they are
expressed. The main recommendation
which President Lincoln offers to Con
gress "for the purpose of making this
contest a siort and decisive ouc," speaks
very decisively for the energy with which
he desires the war to be prosecuted. 'When
he asks for at least four hundred thousand
men and four hundred millious of dollars,
he indicates so cleaily his sense of impor
tance of crushing the rebellion by an over
whelming exertion of force as to dispense
him from usiug toward the rebels the lan
guage of strong menace. It befits the
dignity of a great nation and a strong
government to Jet its deeds prove to the
world the energy ot its determination.
When we put in the field an army as large
.as that of France, the most military nation
of Europe, although France has thirty-six
millious uf inhabitants and the free s-tates
of the Union only twenty millions, neither
our own people nor foreign nations will
need any assistance in drawing correct
inferences as to the vigor with which the
government intends to follow up the re
bellion. President Lincoln, to prove the
possibility of raising and maintaining so
largo an army as he asks for, states that
the four hundred thousand men he wants
make only one-tenth of the citizens of the
free-states capable of military service,
while the four hundred millions of dollars
are only one twenty-third part of these
states. The interests of freedom, of com
merce, and of irood government alike de-

A kind of compromise between the
belligerent wings of the party was patched
up, but whether it will hold water with
the "rank and file" is remarkably doubt
ful. Our cotemporary up street may be
in "good humor with the world and the
rest of mankind" owing to the result, and
our friend around the corner may be "too
full for words" to express himself, from
the same cause, but the "spontaneous com
bustion" dodge failed in a former issue
and so it will in this?. The above ticket

THE TATTLE IN MISSOURI.
St. Louis, July 10, 18G1. A special
messenger arrived this evening by the Pa
cific Railroad, with despatches from Col.
Sicgal to Adjutant Harding, at the Ar
senal. The following abstract was written at
Kolla for the St. Louis Democrat, on the
morning of the 5th: Col. Siegel, with a
portion of his regiment and a part of Col.
Solomon's, and ten pieces of artillery, in
all from 1,100 to 1,200 men, attacked a
body of 0.000 rebels, under Gen. Uains
and Col. Parsens, about seven miles east
of Carthage, on the prairie. They only
had five pieces of cannon. Many of the
enemy were mounted men.
Col. Siegel began the attack at half past
nine in the morr.iug, breaking the enemy's
center twice." After fighting an hour and
a half we silenced their artillery.
The rebels had three flags, one of the
State of Missouri, which was left unharm
ed, and two Secession flags, which were
twice shot down, and raised no moro.
The enemy tried to out-flank our troops
with their cavalry and cutoff our bagecajre,
but Col. Sicgal made a' retreating move
ment, keeping up a constant firing, and
ordered tho baggago train to advance,
which was formed into columns with ' a
battallion of infantry, supported by four
pieces of artillery near each body, and the
remainder of the artillery in front, on the
flanks of the rebels.
They then attempted to cut off his com
munication with carriages with their cav
alry, but our artillery took them at a
cross-fire which played havoc among their
ranks, which opened the road, and Col.
Siegel fell back on Carthage, the enemy
harassing his flank up to the town, where
another stand was made.
The rebels being in possession of the
place, Col. Siegel surrounded the town,
throwing shot and grenades into the rebel
cavalry, and using his infantry wilh great
effect. While attempting to reach the ad
jacent woods, to prevent the use of the
cavilry, the rebels made the most serious
attack, and the bloodiest part of the battle
was fought. But the enemy were finally
routed and forced to withdraw their forces.
Col. Siegel then fell back on Mount
Vernon, where he could be supported.
The sole captive officer, taken about five
o'clock, reported the Ions at near 250 on
their part, but as the severest fighting was
.done subsequent to that hour, it is believed
their loss is considerably greater: 4o pris
oners were taken. Our loss is 8 killed,
and 45 wounded and missing.
The Springfield correspondent of The
Democrat, undr date of the 0th, sa3's that
immediately after the arrival of Lrig.-Gen.
S'.veeuy at Springfield, he dispatched a
messenger to Col's. Siegel and Solomon,
who were encamped at Neosho, to move
their column to Carthage, which was
promptly done.
Last night a .messeuger arrived from
Col. Siegel. stating that Gov. Jackson and
Generals Price and liaincs united their
forces abvout 4,000 strong, and were en
camped eight miles north of Carthage.
Cols. Siegel and Solomon pushed in rapid
ly, and attacked the rebel forces errly yes
terday morning and continued fighting du
ring the Jay.
Messengers are continually arriving,
bringing the information that the rebels
are retreating south-eastwardly, between
Sarcoxie and Mount Vernon, falling back
ou Casville, with the baggage and plun
der, under the cover of their cannon, and
Col. Siegal attacking their rear this after
noon. Gen. Sweeny commands in person a fly
ing column moving southwardly to inter
cept the rebels at Verona, thus crushing
them completely between our columns.
Large bodies of mounted men congregated
at Wcstplaius and Forsythe, with the in
tention of joining Gov. Jackson's force,
but Gen. Sweeny sent a detachment of 250
mounted men through Douglas county to
prevent their union, and to drive back Gen.
Mcliride's command.
Late advises say that a report reached
Springfield on Sunday morning of an en
gagement between 500 Federals, under
Col. Wolff, and about 1,500 rebels. Col.
Wolff occupied a prairie 'when the battle
began, but the rebels retre-. ling to the
woods, he followed, and in skirmishing in
the timber lost 30 killed and wounded, he
himself being among the number.
AN INFERNAL MACHINE.
..Washington, July 12. The .Free
lorn gun boat, Lieut Lowry commanding
-l r 4 ' 1- Ai 'l.AHfcl t
arrived up iron. jcquia. reus, ai imf
six o'clock a. m. to-day, having been cruis
ing at night up and down between that
point and the mouth of the rher, preven
ting communication between lower Mary
land and Virginia. The service is active,
arduous, and dangerous. On Sunday at
noon the Freeborn was at Aequia Creek,
with the Resolute, Pawnee and Pocha
hontas. Two large oil casks, were, discov
ered floating down towards the. fleet with
ebb tide ; when within a quarter of a mile
a small boat was sent from the Pawuee to
reconnoitre. The small boat discovered
that they were infernal uinehinos. One
struck the rudder of the liesolutc, and
became detached from its body and sunk;
the ether careened over, and the fuse was
put- out by dipping in the water. The
latter was hauled on board the Pawnee ;
it had a cylinder made of boiler iron, five
feet long, and eighteen inches in diameter,
filled with all sorts of destructive elements
designed to blow the Potomac squadron
to atoms. The machine weighed about
four hundred pounds, connecting the cyl
inder which was full of coil of slow match
which was an India rubber coated fuse.
The machine looks devilish. The Free
born brought it up to the Navy-yard,
where it attracts great attention, thousands
having visited it.
BATTLE AT WESTERN VIRGINIA.
HoAitixo Run, Va., July 12. A bat
tle was fought yesterday afternoon, at
Ilich Mountain, two miles cast of this
place, where the enemy numbering about
two thousand, in, command ot Col. Pcgraw,
were strongly entrenched. About three
o'clock in the morning, Gen. llosencrantz,
with a portion of the Eighth, Tenth, and
Thirteenth Indiana, and Nineteenth Ohio
Ilcginient, left this place, and cutting a
road through the woods, succeeded in sur
rounding the enemy about three o'clock iu
the afternoon- A desperate tight imme
diately ensued, lasting about an hour and
a half, resulting in the loss of sixty of the
enemy killed, and a large number wound
ed and taken prisoners. They retreated
precipitately, leaving behind six cannon,
a large number of horses, wagons, camp,
equippage, &c. The loss on our side is
about twenty killed and forty wounded.
Washington July 14. The following
was received July loth, from Ueverly,
Virginia :
lieport of General M'Cellan to Lieuten
ant General Seoit I have received from
Pcgraw propositions for surrender, with
his officers and the remnant of his com
mand, say six hundred men. They are
said to be extremely penitent, and deter
mined never again to take arms against
the General Government. I shall have
nearly nine hundred or a thousand pris
oners to take care of when Pcgraw comes
in. The latest accounts make the loss of
the rebels ia killed some one hundred and
fifty. "
Henry A. Wise Not Even Attack
ed. The Wheeling lntaUiijencer of July
15 published information received by Mr.
John Woods, of that city, who ai rived in
Wheeling on Saturday, from Charlottes
ville, where he was a student at the Uni
versity, lie left Charlottesville about
three weeks ago, he reached Charlestown
oa the 4th and Ripley on the 5th. Hen
ry A. Wise, and his sou O. Jennings Wise,
were both at Ripley'. On the th a re
port reached Ripley that a thousand Fed
eral troops were marching upon that place
from the Ohio river. The Wises with
their seven hundred followers, retreated
back upon Charlestown. The report of
the killing of Wise aud his bod' guard
reached us on Sunday eveniug, the 7th,
so lie could not have been badly injured,
as he was knocking around Ripley pretty
tolerably spry for an old man. From oth
er circumstances we are induced to believe
that the whole story about the attaci
upon W lse s party is a sheer fabrica
tion. It is scarcely possible that he
couli have been at Sissousville at all.
Mr. v oods was several times arrested
and was detained at Ripley a week, until
the Wises had left. The 1 'n fdliaenccr says:
"Our readers may rest assured that Henry
A. t lse still lives, and is doubtless this
minute 'firing the Southern heart some
where along the Kauawha valines.
"The Girls We Left Behind Us."
The good State of Wisconsin recently
passed a law for the. benefit of her voluu-
a. 11 1 r .
icers, auowing sucn ot tiiem as were mar
ried, five dollars, bounty per month, in
addition to their regular pay. This pre
mium on Renedicks has not been without
its effect. The army of young wives to
be left behind by the brave fellows has
gone up amazingly. The Second Regi
ment, now at Camp Randall, Madison or
dered to leave on Sunday' next, has given
liberal employment to the. marrying func
tionaries. Six came home last week, from
a single company, and employed their
furlough in brief honeymoons. Of these
five wedded each his "Annje Laurie," but
one left the camp, and without previous
expressed preference, hunted himself up a
wife and left her to receive the monthlv
stipend.
The Comet Lieut. Gillies, sur.erin.
tendent of the Washington Nu7al Obser
vatory says the comet was first observed
there on the COth ult., when it was re
garded as an auroral beam. On the 2d
its tail extended to a distance of eighty or

Cambridge University, pronounces this
comet to be diilerent lrom that of 1204
and 1550, or any other whose return has
been anticipated. Its train, he says, ex

therefore, yet to given. Men while, his

steliations, with prodigious velocity.
XcUci-Ibs Confidence of tlse
Rebels.
The two main considerations by which
the secession leaders in the gulf states
were emboldened to embark in their haz
ardous experiment were the expectation
of a strong democratic support, ii the
North, especially in the great commercial
city of New York and the expectation of
constraining England 'arid other European
powers through their need of the chief
southern staple, to givei the Confederate
States immediate recognition and coun
tenance. Roth these expectations have
proved delusive; and the result must have
ivcn a great shock to the confidence with
which the insurgents entered on the re
bellion. The Charleston MercAry which
was the head organ of this gigantic treas
on during the whole of its inception and
early developments, takes a gloomy and
discouraging view ol the result 01 secession
diplomacy abroad. Speaking of the re
fns:)l of the liritish irovemment to allow
the southern privateers to bring prizes
into Rritish ports, the Mr.revry says :
"We are only surprised that, any of the
commissioners have remained a day in
London after this order was issued. This
is an attack of qvazi hostility which it
appears to us. ought to have arrested all
confidence with Rritish authorities. It
was well known that, while Grcit Britain
has the greatest interest in the indepen
dence of the Confederate States, there is
an clement of anti-slavery fanaticism which
would, in ail likelihood, paralyze her coun
sels in our favor."
The Mrcury thinks the confederate
commissioners have blundered in not
tempting Great Britain and France by
the offer of low duties, to compensate them
for the risk of -hostile complications with
the United States, and puts forward the
following interrogatory and opinion :
"Have our commissioners been empow
ered to offer to France and England a
treaty guaranteeing for a number of years
low duties on their manufcictured commo
dities imported into the Confederate Slates?
We fear not 'for, if they had been em
powered to make such treaties, we are
satisfied that they might before this have
returned home, with their mission com
pletely successful, and the war on our
frontier, ou the part of the United States
reduced to a weak absurdity."
These lugubrious confessions of the
utter failure of the "mission of Messrs.
Mann, Yancey & Co., correspond with
the statements in President LlN'COLN's
Message that, notwithstanding some pre
vious apprehensions to the contrary, the
disposition of the foreign powers toward
the United States is most friendly. This
must be the heaviest disappointment the
secessionists could encouuter, as they had
centered all their hopes of ultimate suc
cess in ihe aid of England and France.
Even in confessing that the mission of
Yancey and his coifljutors is a failure
the JJcrrvry confesses the importance it
attached to it by saying that, if it had
been completely successful, the war, on
the part of (he United States, would be
"reduced to a weak absurdity."
Military Printers having their
Joke. A delegation of printers from the
Twentieth Ohio Regiment, uow stationed
at Fairmont, Va., have taken possession of
the True Virginian printing office in that
town. Their first leading article was au
invitation to Drinkard, the late editor, to
come back thus:
"Men with military trappings now oc
cupy the identical chair in which your
peaceful body once sat. They write Union
and the pike yon kept as a relic of John
Riown at Harper's Ferry, the boys use
now to cut your rules, and paper and ink
you prepared for secession purposes are
now used to" print army blanks upon. O,
Driukard ! you ought to be here. How
can you stay away ? Your types are set
up for Union articles ; your press prints
them. And more than this, the Stars and
Stripes float from your windows; and we
all well know, from the files left in your
Sanctum, that this doesn't suit you. Come
back, then, and take possession. Brintr
au your mends Henry A. ise, John
Letcher and the rest with you."
The Prisoners at Fort M'IIenry.
The Baltimore American of Monday
says : "Information has been received this
morning from Fort M'llenrv to the effect
that Marshal Kane and the members of
the Board of Police Commissioners, as
well as John Merry man, Esq., still re
main at the post under guard, but enjoy
as much libeity as'is consistent with the
views of the Government. Of the whole

but after consideration he concluded not
to accept it, and Ktill remains in the
fort. 11c decided not to accept the
offer unless all received similar liberty."

condition that they wouldsccure him an ed
