There is a magnanimity in Mr. Lincoln, which is manifest in every thing which oc , ears, Ile is above concealment for any personal ends. When the war broke out, promptitude was • essential. To await the :processes of established forms, would be to lose all. There were, of course, some mis- Takes and extravagincis which partisans can blame.€ Mr. Lincoln is unwilling that any of his agents should suffer. He has ac cordingly sent to both,Houses of Congress the following MESS AGE. WASHINGTON, May 27, 1862 The Speaker to-day laid before the House of Representatives the following Message from the President : ' To the Senate and House of Representa- MEE The insurrection which is yet existing in 'the United States, and which aims at the overthrow of the Federal Constitution and the Union, was clandestinely prepared during the Winter of 1860 and 18,61, and assumed an open organization, the form of 'a treasonable provisional government at Montgomery, Alabama, on. the 18th day of February, 1861. On the 12th day. 'of April,lB6l, the insurgents Committed'the flagrant act of civil war by the bombard ment and capture of Fait - &niter, which cut off the hope of immediate reconciliation. Immediately afterward, all the roads and avenues to \ this city were obstructed, and the Capital was put into the condition of a siege. The mails in every direction were stopped, and the lines of telegraph cut off by the insurgents, and military and naval forces which hid been called out by,the Government for The defence of Washington, were Prevented from reaching the city by organized and combined treasonable resist-. epee in the State`Of Maryland. There was' .4 adequate and effective or ganization for the public defence. Con gress had indefinitely adjourned. There was no time to convene themi It became necessary for me to choose 'whether, using only the existing means, agencies and Pro cesses which Congreei provided, I should let phe'Goveringent fall into ruin, or wheth r er, availing myself of the broader powers conferred by the Constitution in eases of insurrection, I would make an effort to save it, with all its blessings, for the present age , and for posterity: I thereupon summoned my constitutional advisers, the heads of all ;the;Departments, to meet on Sunday, the 20th day of April, 1861, at the office of the Navy Department, and then and there, with their unanimous concurrence, I directed, that , an armed rev °nue cutter should proceed to sea, to afford protection to the commercial marine, espe cially to the California treasure ships then on their way to this coast. I also directed the Commandant of the Navy-yard at Boston to purchase; 'or char ter, and arm, as quickly as possible, five steamships for purposes of public defence. directed the Conimandant of the Navy yard at Philadelphia to purchase or charter, and arm - an equal nuiriber, for the same purpose. I directed the Commandant at New-York tO'lirolise, or oharter,and arm an equal number. • I directed Commander Gillis to purchase, or charter, and arm, and put to sea two other vessels. Similar directions were given to Commodore Dupont, with a view to the opening of passageS by water to and from'the' Capital: I directed the several officers to take the advice and obtain the aid and efficient ser vices in the matter, of His 'Excellency, Edwin to: Morgan, the Governor of New- York, or in his absence, Gee. D. Morgan, Witr.-M.Bvarts; R. IL Blatehford, and'Mo-' sea H. Grinnell, who were,hy.my direction, especially empowered; bythe , Secretary of the Navy, to act for his Department in that crisis, in matters pertaining to the for warding of troops and supplies for the pub lid defence. On the same occasion I directed that Gov. Morgan and Alexander: Cummings, of the City of New-York, should be Ruer ized by the Secretary of War, Simon Cam eron, to make all necessary arrangements for the transportation of troops and Muni - dens of war, in aid and assistance of the officers of - the army of the United States, until communication by mails and tele giaph shOuld be - cOnipletely reestablished between the Cities' of Washington and New- York. No security was required to be given by then , and either of them . was au stuholtriwzeitdhtoeaach ct- o i t n he c r a . se of inability to con . On 'the same occasion .I authorized and directed the Secretary of the Treasury to advance, without 'requiring security, two minima of dollars of public money to John A.

Blatchford, of New-York, to be used by them in meeting such requisitions as should ,directly consequent upon the military and naval 'measures for the-defence and support of the Government, requiring them only to act without conipentiatiOn; and to, report their transactions when duly upon.

It is due to Mr. Cameron to say that, although he fully ap proved of the proceedings, they were ,not moved nor suggested by himself,. and that not only the President, but all the beads of Departments, were at least equally responsible with him for whatever error, wrong or fault was committed in the: pre mises.
