I appear before you to perform mylast act ns Chief Executive of the StaleIt is made duty by the Constitution, attho close of my official toim, to give tothe Legislature " information by message of the condition of tho State, arjdto recommend such measures to them asI shall deem expedient. In the perform-ance of this duty, I slnill be lei, to someextent, over the history of the past fouryears—years full of groat events, a-i ddestined to shape the course of ourcountry through all time—years ofbloody strife, of heroic endeavor, ofsufferings courageously endured, and oftriumphs nobly won. Upon the thresh-hold of this work, I congratulate youupon the geueral prosperous conditionof tbe State. The people are in the en-joyment of health and plenty.

financial re-while at tho

time they hud to bear the ordina-ry burdens of civil government. Thatwe have been enabled to Gear at allthis immense increaso of the public bur-dens, is a subject for congratulation,while the fact that the State has grownand prospered in spile of them, shouldexcite the most intense satisfaction, notunmixed with wonder. It hns been de-monstrated 'jeyond cavil, that freedomis the b^at bswiis of power.

FINAXCKS.

The first, and one of the most iinportant duties <i' eveiy government, is thecar* of He fisaneffi. If the«e Jaii, orget in to disorder, all its operationsmust either cea^o entirely, or be carriedforward ii: such t.u imperfect manner,as to realize but a tf.nall share of thebenefits which are the objects of its in-stitution. Success in this field is suc-cess sverywhere, while to fail here iadisastrous to the siinie extent. On com-ing into the administration four yearsago, we found ourselves confronted stthe ouibet with most serious difficulties.The Treasury was empty,and the Treusurer himself a defaulter in a large sumand absent from hi3 post and from theState, having made no report, and notbeing likely to make any of value. TheAuditor General told us that we werein debt largely to tho counties, to tbeasylums, and other public institutions,and recommended a temporary loan ofone hundred and fifty thousand dollars,to meet these- pressing claims. Hiswarrants had been sold in the Easternmoney markets at a heavy discount tocarry on the ordinary operations of government. This state of things was theplain result of tho want of a proper fi-nancial policy for mncy previous years.

I took occasion then to say to theLegislature that '.' prudence and econo-my are the first in duty of every govern-ment, ns rashly incurring debt is thesure roid to bankruptcy; We should utonce adopt a permanent policy, lookingto the steady reduction and final pay-ment of the entire State debt. Thiscourse was adopted, with what successthe present condition of the finances ofthe State sufficiently prove?.

The following extracts from the re-port of tbe State Treasurer for the yearending Nov. 30, 18G4, show tho presentfinancial condition of the State :The total receipts of tha

office, including lastyear's balance, are $2,444,242 25

This -exhibit is most satisfactory.—•Tue State has cmet nil her obligationspromptly, and will eontiune to do so,having mnv in lite irca-ury a surplus ofnearly $450,li<X). The Sinking Fundis rapidly absorbing tiio public debt.andbut from the necessary increase fromwar loui s, would soon make an end ofit: We hope, of course, that this causofor increase will quickly pass away.

[ have thus contrasted the presentcondition of the finances wi;h that ex-isting a! the time of my coming into of-fice, not for the mere purpose of com-prrison, but to empha-izo tho recom-meudation that the present policy sho'dbe continued wkhout material change —It consis'.s pimply in paying off thepublic debt ns rapidlv as possible, bymeans of the Sinking Fund, and of cro-ating no new obligations, either to the" trust funds' or otherwise, except iugreat emergencies ; and uniformly lay-ing taxes sufficient to meet appropria-tions. I have the satisfaction of adding,that the finances of.the State have notsuffered in any degree within the lastfour years fsom the frauds or peculationsof public officers. The defaulting Treas-urer was legally prosecuted, convictedand punished, and it is_ to be hoped thatthat wholesome example will be efficientto prevent the occurrence of like crimeshereafter. Some effort has also beenmade to recover the amount lost fromthe SKTt-ties upon the official bond, butI am compelled to say with little suc-cess. The tureties were found to be ir-responsible, and there is little doubt thatthe entire amount of the deificationwill prove a total loss to tho State.

STATE PEISON.c

The condition of tbe State Prison hasnot materially changed since my lastcommunication to the Legislature. Thenumber of prisoners suffering punish-ment there rnia steadily declined sincethe- commencement of the war, and willdoubtless continue to do s">. This willhave the effect to render the prison lesssand leb.s suei'.es ful, financially, while thewar lasts. Ita expenses have also beenlargely increased by the general appre-ciation of pries in the country. Thonumber of prisoners as shown by theAgent's report, is now 292. All thelaws provided for the government anddiscipline of the State Prison, I believe,are working well and require no \nate-rial change. The pardoning power hasbeen exercised of late, with perhaps amore than ordinary liberality. Thejudges, preeecuting officers, and the peo-ple generally, have been urged and stim-ulated to greater activity than usual inthis direction by the exceeding greatdemand both for soldiers and laborers,and I have felt compelled to grant theirpetitions more freely than heretofore, Iam, however, well satisfied with the resuit in the cases of pardoned convicts,with very few exceptions. Many otthem are doiug valiant service in theranks of the country's defenders, somehave died in battle, and others are sup-porting themselves by honest labor. Asupplement to this inessago will be sub-mitted, containing the list of pardons,with the reasons for each such at length.

STATE REFORM SCITOOr,,In my message to tho legislature ir

January, 1863, I called its attention t<the rapid increaso in the number of boysin the Reform School, and leomuraendoithat some legislation ba hud to preveuitho evil.'

The samo or even a greater rate 0,increase has continued up to thia timeand it is evident that the number muebn restricted or tho capacities of theschool must be greatly increased to ac-commodate a much larger body. ThoBoard of Control Report the number olinmates of the school, November 1C,1SG4, to have been 214, of whom 114were received during the previous year.Thore were dismissed in all wavs,-during tho year, 87, but two-thirds of thesewere allowed to enlist in the army.—" Should this outlet be stopped," theBoard say, and they '• compelled todischarge only on reformation, as thelaw requires," by November 15, 1866,the number will not fall short of 300.—The Legislature appropriated to carryon this school fir the years 1863 and1864, $15,060 per annum. The boardhave expended thissum,borrowed$8,000and will need $6,000 more to keep alonguntil your appropriations shall becomeavailable. There will be recjuired,therefore, at yours hands, an appropria-tion of $14,000 to supply deficienciesfor two years past, and .$44,000 lor thoyears 1865 and 1866, according to theestimates of the Board of Control.—These sums are sufficient, I think, toattract your attention, and the wholesubject requires thoughtful considera-tion.

The Reform School is one of the no-blest charities of the State, and deservesthe fostering care of the Legislature.—It has two objects in view : first, thepunishment of crimes; but, secondly,and principally, the education and re-clamation of those criminals whoso ten-dor age gives assurance that they arestill within the reach of reformation. Its to some extent a prison, but muchmore a school. It is not intended tojring with it all the idle,vagabond child-ren of the State, but only such of themas are found committing such offencesas society cannot tolerate, and allow theriininal to be at large. In our legisla-

tion thus far, I think two mistakes haveDeen committed—the one in allowingtoo young boys to be sentenced to thisschool, aud the other iu not guardingsufficiently the trial, conviction and seu-.ence of these youthful crimiualg. Inmy judgement no boy should be senced there who is under ten years oi

age. He can hardly bo said to be <-apa-)le of crime ot an earlier age, and needsmuch more to be guided and governedthan to be shut up and punished. Weought also to tako care that only suchire convicted and sentenced as are real-y guilty of serious offences; in otherwords, we should;, prevent its being madea poor-house. For this purpose [ amatisfied it will not do to let every Jus-ice of the Peace convict and sentence

without restraint. Under tho presentaw, boys are sentenced to the school

who are of tho age of seven cr upwardsnd for the smallest oft'encea. Caa it bevise to allow the J usticcs of the Peaeoo sentence boys to tho school for 14ears for the simplest misdemernors ?—^ e law organizing the House of Correc-ion, as it was originally called, •contem-lated tbe confinement within its wallsf only those boys under sixteen yearsf age who should be convicted ofrimes punishable by imprisonment inbe State Prison. The law was chang-d to its present form in 1861. It wille found necessary either to reduce cou-derably the number of sentences toie Reform School, or greatly extend itsapacity to receive those sentenced.—,s to which is the preferable course, the<egislature must decide. I believe thechooll is well conducted under its pre-ent management.

THE ASYLUMS.

The reeorts of the several Boards ofrustees will give full information ofid conditions and wants of the Asy-ut»y for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind,

and for the Insane. These Institutionsare both of them still unfinished, andtheir usefulness is1 consequently not e-qual to the intentions of their founders.1 think the time has arrived when greatefforts should be made to completethem both speedily The whole capac-ity of the Asylum for the Insane is need-ed now, and humanity requires that theneed should be supplied. It is impos-sible that insane persons should bo pro-perly treated at any other place than ina well regulated asylum. They are bothbeing conducted skillfully and economi-cally, and I recommend great liberalitytoward them.THE CANAL AND TIIE UPPJ5R PENINSULAR.

The business of the St. Mary's FallsShip Canal continues yearly to increase.Tho gross earnings-for the present yearhave been above thirty four thousanddollars. The work is in fine condition,no accident of any considerable magni-tude having befallen it during my term,aud it still promises to be of great valueto the trade and business of the State.Thus far it has been the outlet for theentire business of the immense mineralregion lying upon Late Superior. Thatwill cease to be tbe case hereafter. Theconstruction of tho Peninsular railroadfrom Little Bay De Nocquet to Mar-qtiette, will furnish another aud rival

roquiro others. Ii is beyond question,if we consider tho extent arid variety ofita product?, tho most important min-eral country on tha globe. It will beyour duty w consider carefully whatlegislation may be required to accelerate..the development of tho immense re-"SOUIOHH of this country. Ita remotenessIro'n the moro thickly settled portionsof the Stute, and the peculiar charac-ter of its population and business, re-quire laws and regulations peculiar andapptopiiate to its eituati'm. 1 recom-mend especial attention to tho intercutsand noeds ot this region.

SWAMP r.AXCS AND H0ADS TUBE0AD3.

The policy adopted for !ho dispositionand reclamation of the swamp tanda bymeans of roads and dito'ip.?, winch hasbecome settled by the action of pastLegislatures, continues, I think, to meetthe approbation of the people. Thenewer and moro feeble settlements ofthe northern portion of the State havebeen greatly aided by the appropriationof these laads to tho building of roads,tho first requirement of e7ery ne'7 coun-try. The situation cf tho country hasinterfered injuriously with tho construetion of the roads for the past two years ;but considerable progress his been madein spite of all difficulties, and sound policy requires that they should be encouraged in all proper ways.

By an Act of Congress, approvedJune 20, 1864, a large grant of landswas made to the State of Michigan forthe construction of two wagon roads formilitary and postal purposes. One ofthem to run from Saginaw City, by theshortest and most feasible route, to theStraits of Mackiuaw, aud the other fromerrand Rapids, through Newaygo, Trav-erse City and Little Traverse, to thesame point. The grant is a liberal one,jeing of three seetions to the mi!a,should result in tho construction of agood road. Tho Act provides that tho•oads shall be located, surveyed andonstructed uuder tte direction of suoh

jommissioners as the Governor may ap->oint, but has made no provision for tho•myment of the commissioners or theirxpenscs,

It seems to havo been supposoil thathe State would bo wlllrag to do this.—And the supposition was reasonable.—nasmuch as Congress has freely granted.he land, it is not too much to ask of theState to pay the expenses of locationand superintendence. I recommend thatan appropriation of money bo made for.this purpose. It is reasonable to cntici-pato groat benefits to the Stata to arisefrom tho construction of the30 roads.

AfllUCULTURE AND TUE COl.LF.QE.

Agriculture ia the main pursuit of thegreat mass of our people, and niujt al-ways so continue ; and it has been prop-erly a cherished object of legislation topromote improvement in this pursuit, inall legitimate ways. State tod countysocieties aud fairs have been liberally en-couraged, and a system of liberal edu-cation, bearing upon it, has bjen inaugu-rated. It has come now to be admittedby all intelligent porsond that a farmer isaa largely benefited by a thorough edu-cation end study, as tli-a lawyer GC thedoctor, and the fact ia clear that thereare very few of the sciences jand artstaught in the schoo'sjhat do not moreor lets directly bear upon agriculture.—Michigan has a fair claim to the creditof being tho first State to establish aCollege under Stale patronage, for theespecial purpose of teaching thosesciences aud sires which moro imiiied-ir.Ui'iy concern the business of fanning.—This Institution (the Agricultural Col-lege,) has from the firs*, had to stragglewith many and serious dirlicultioa —Among these was a general want of con-fidence in its ultimate sucooss. Its entirewant of endowment and dependence uponthe varying ideas of successive Legisla-tures, rendered even its continued existenco doubtful. I think wo may now

lature to deal liberally with it in the: port itself aud acccn panyingmatter of its finances.

OBNEKAL EDUCATION.

The report of the Superintendent ofPublic Instruction will give you lulland amplo information in regard to-thopublic schools of tho Stato, and thoUniversity. The education of tho peo-ple is the object at which wo uli aim.Provision has been uiade by taxationfor free schools for all tho youth of theStutc—the Normal School for the trainin;; of teachers, and the University tor

Since my last bii naiftl message, greatactivity has prevailed in ail^uilitary oations. Very largs calls have necessari-ly boou made upon this State for volun-teers, all of which have been filled" witiigreat promptness, but at a very hen\y

I expense; and still the work is by no' means finished. A cnl! Is now impending,under which life quota of the State haslately been assigned, nml does not vsfiymuchwbol*the education of all such as seek to be

come students in tho higher branches of I ^learning. We are said to be successful, 'and perhaps we aro ronsouably.so. B i tdo we, especially in lUo common schools, j t!iousaV>d have' beeV rafted'accomplish all that ought to be accom-plished ? In one respect we eerUi'ulyfoil. There Lave not been brought intotho free schools all those ehilureu uf thepoor that ought to come there ; quitethe contrary. But aro tbe schoolsthemselves, what they should be, consid-ering the amount of money expendedupon them ? I muat confess to a beliefthat they are uot. A large number ofthe people seem to suppose that wi.enthey hava paid their taxes to support afree Bchool, then their entire duty isdone ; they give the school itself no at-tention, but leave it to take caro of itsell. This is the one great evil of thefree school system. Even tho rate billdid tho one good thing, that it arousedthe attention of those upon whom itwaa levied. The School Boards arenot always competent, and aro not likelyto be, under the present system of pop-ular election. Can the primary schoolsystem of the State be rendered moreefficient and -useful by any change iu thelaws, is a question that I believe oughtto occupy the earnest attention of "theLegislature. I have once before statedto the Legislature, my opinion that asystem ot county superintendents ofschools might, to some extent at least,reach this object. If suoh a systemshould ba adopted, the mode of appoint-ment ef the superintendents would bevery important; it should be such asto secura the most careful deliberation,

and avoid as far as possible ail merelypolitical influences.

since Jan-uary, 1868, though there havo been add-ed to the permanent organizations of theState, only four uew regimen's of infan-try, live of c.ivairy, and six batteries uflight artillery. Tho State has now or-ganized and in service, thirty regimen aof infantry, eleven regiment* of cavalry,one regiment of light artillery, and otioregiment of Mechanics and Engineer-,besides two iuuepeudeut batteries ofLight Artillery, aud fifteen companiesfor various arms of service. It is notprobable, and certainly it is not desirable, that any more new regiments will b»formed. Many of the veteran regimentsare much reduced iu number, and soundpolicy requires that their ranks shouldbe speedily filled. I t has beeu mysteady effort since the war begun, to fillup old regiments, rather thau to formnew ones.

Its full course ofstudy, occupying four academic years, isthorough and well adapted to its objfct,which is to make learned men, and skillful, practical farmers. The corps ofprofessors and teachers is sufficient, andthey aro fully competent for their duties.The Institution is fully organized, withits President, Secretary and Faculty, un-der tho supervision of the State Bourdof Agriculture. This Roard has proveda most intelligent and valuable body, audto its wisdom and energy the Oolh-goowes much of its success. Its successin the futura promises to be substantialand great. Tiie Agricultural LandGrant, when it shall have been turi^dinto productive resources, will place theCollege upon a basis of independenceand usefulness surpassed by uoue. ThoCommissioner of the State Land Office,to whom was committed, by ,the Board,the duty of selecting theso lands, reportsthat about one hundred aud fifty thou-sand acres have been selected, and tbopreliminary steps have been taken for theselection pf the remaining ninety thou-sand acres. 80 far, I am satisfied tholands havo been well selocted. Somoyears will intervene, no doubt, before thefund to bo created by the sale of theselands will become adequate for the sup-port of the College, though I hope thatsome relief to tho State may bo realize.-dju'lte speedily. Until the fund does bs-come sufficient, it will bo necessary stillto resort to the yearly appropriations for

duty, if placed in an organization amongveterans; but put a thousand of themtoyether, under officeis like themselves,and the case is different as possible.The policy of the Government of theUnited States has also been adapted tothe strengthening of tho old organiza-tions, otid as there are now in the fieldregiments more thau enough to containall the quotas called from the State, Ithink wo may regard it as settled, thatfew, if any, new ones will hereafter beformed.

The question most important for theLegislature now to settle, is the modehereafter to be pursued in filling thaquotas of volunteers for the State.Thus far, no very fixed and steadymethod has beeu pursued Our actionhas been spasmodic. Sometimes wehave paid a State bounty, and sometimesnot. Some localities have paid a localbounty, and some none at all, and thishas been in some towns very unreasona-bly large in amount, and in others quitesmall; and sometimes it hag beou raisedin acoordance with the law», but quite aaoften without much reference to thelaw, and tha Legislature has been ap-pealed to for the purpose of legalization.In my message to the extra session of1884, my viaws are fully stated uponthis question of bounties, and they arestill in the main unchanged. The Leg.lslature did not then altogether agreewitii me, but in opposition to my recom-mendation, authorized a State bouuty tobe paid to all volunteers alike, of onehundred dollars, and at the same timeauthorized the towns to raise a likeamount. A half million was appropri-ated to pay this State bounty, but we

in directness and clearness of language, had only begun to raise our quotas whenthe appropriation was exhausted. I be-lieve that so far as getting an addition-al volunteer is 'concerned, it i=i veryquestionable whether this expenditurehas accomplished anything; and nowthis Legislature will find that all thamen who have volunteered sinoo theState bounty ceasod to be paid for wantof money, will request that an appropria-tion be made sufficient to pay them thesame amount that the others have re-ceived, and for that purpose aloue, no-tless than seven hundred thousaud dol-lars would be required. I should notrecommend it, though it will be verydifficult for you to give a satisfactoryrea'son for a refusal, which vvould not bjequally a reason for rejecting the lawitself. Li my judgment, this wholebusiness of bouuties has been carried toa great excess, ro.-sulung in exces-sive taxes, with great demoralizationof tho people, aud with no correspond-ing benefit to tiie Government, or to thesoldkr himself. Reasouuble bounties,enabling the soldier to placo his affairsin a thr.fty condition, with proper pro-visions for the care aud support ot hisfamily while absent, are wiso and well-timed, but they should never reach thapoiut where the service of the countrybecomes a matter of merchandise. Thecitizen owes service to hid country as apatriotic duty, and his true reward con-sists in tho laurels which adorn thohero's brow. These cannot be boughtwith money, nor will any soldier everwear them worthily who eaters the ser-vice merely for a bounty. My OA-Ujudgment has been, that a moderatelocal bounty, addod to that paid by the

aw in these respects, and in any othersn which tho k w may bo four, 1 to Uuk

In its main features tha iaw has bt;onfound to operate admirab'y. The vo-ting' under it waa done wish SJ iuii,horder and propriety as at a;iy of thepel's in tho State, and 1 hear of no com-p ,plaint, from any quarter, <-f ,or undue influence exercised ovt'r thesoldiers. Tho voting wan free, open,fair and intelligent, completely answer-ing every objection to the policy of sucha law. Tht t volunteers in the militaryservice shall v.to in tho field, has becomethe settled policy of the whole country,and care should be taken to perfect ourlaws upon the subject.

NATIONAL CE5IETEKY AT GETTYS&L'Ita.

At the extra session in 1S64. an Ac;was passed "to provide for tiie prepw-ation of tho Soldiers'National Cemeteryat Gettysburg, in tho State ol Ponnsyvvania.1' For that object iho f iai of8o,500 of tho war fund was appropri-ated, aad a Commissioner waa uutlionzodto be appointed to superintend the dis-bursement of the money. Such u Com-missioner has boon appoiuled, and Ihave drawn from the appiopriiiiiu:i thesum of twelve hundred and sixty-fivedollars, whioh has been pstid to thetreasurer of the corporation crva'ed r>ythe statute of Pennsylvania, for thepreparation of tbe Cemetery. Thomoney will be called for from tine totime, as the work progresses. Myvouchers for the paymout of this moneyI have filed in the office of the Audit TGeneral, though the Act did uot pro-scribe any place for such filing.

The Cemetery is in rapid progresstowards completion, upon such plan.s ascould be produced by the best artisticskill of tho con.ilry.

Under the provisions of this law, andthe orders of tha War Department issuedin accordance with it, I have issued lot-teri of appointment to a considerablenumber of recruiting agents, requestedby the various sub districts, for the pur-pose of filling thoir quotas under theoall of the President previous to tbe oneiinued recently. Asa general rule, these•geute were unsuccessful. They wentout, of ooarae, entirely at tha exnense oftho localities procuring their appoint-ment, at I bad uo fund that oould beused for Ihat purpose. I have oot muchooofideuoo in the beneficial resalts to bederived from the operations of this law,and, therefore, ebsil make no rccom-niondatian iu regard to it. But it is ob-vious that if the Stato wishes to take ad-T»ut»ge of its provisions, it will bo neees-•*ry to provide by law for the appoint-ment of a number of permaucnt agenciesiB tho rebel States, with ample means tocompete with other States which willmeet, them with like agencies at everypoint. VV hethcr this course is advisableyour honorable bodies must decide.

By the Act approved Feb. IS, 18C3,"for the relief <>f sick, disabled and•eedj soldiers;" there was appropriatedthe sum of twenty thousand dollars fromtho war loan fund, and it was set apartsg the., soldiers' relief fund. This fundthe Governor was author zed to use inhis discretion for tho class of personsmentioned in the title of the Act, andfor that purpose to appoint one or moreagents In carrying intojsffec^the wiseand benevolent intention of thiadaw, Q70permanent agencies have been establish-ed, employing six agents, as follows :—One in the city of Washington, employ-ing two agents, ard one each in the citiesof Nashville, St. Louis, Louisvillo, andDetroit, employing each one agent. Inaddition to these, some special agents andmany volunteer surgeons have baen em-ployed, being paid expenses only, lhavedravm from the Treasury, out of thefund, the sum of eighteen thousand dol-lara, cnu probably the remainder will berequired to pay outstanding liabilities.—My statement of tho expenditures, andTouchers for tha same, aro on file in theAuditor General's office. 1 am satisfiedthat in no other way could tho soldierskave been bouefittnl to an equal degrseby this amount of money. The numberrelieved has been very great, aud inmust instances at a small expanse. Theagencies havo become homes for the sol-diors, when separated from their com-mands, and they tesort to them for infer-m»tior, and assistance in every emergency—to break them up would occasion deepregret among ail cur troops. I earnestlyrecommend that a like appropriation bomade for the nest two years.

Gentlemen—Again and for tho lasttuno I commend the Michigan troops toyour continued care and support. Theyhive never failed in their duty to thaoountry or to the State. Upon everygreat battlo-fieid of the war their shoutshsvt) bocu heard and their sturdy blowsh*ve been delivered for the Uuion audvictory, TLeir hard-earned fame is thetreasure of evsry household in the State,and the red blood of their veins bus beenpoured out in 'large meaaure to redeemtbe rebellious South from its great sinand eurse. At this hour they stand un-der tho flag of their country, far awayfrom home, in every quarter where thoenemy is to be met—along the banks ofth« father of waters—iu the great city atbis mouths—on the Arkansas—in thecaptured fortB of the Gulf—by the watori of the Cumberland, the Tennessee,and of tho Savannah—in the chief cityof the Empire Start of the South—among the conquering columns in theValley of the Shenandoah, and in thetrenches under the eye of the Lieuten-ant General in the great leaguer ofPetersburg and Richmond. Alas, thatthey are also perishing of oold and bunger, aud disease, in the filthy rebel prison3aud pestilential camps of the South. Ine?«ry situation their bravery has won theapproval of their commanders, and theirheroic endurance of hardships has added

powers assumed at t'.iis time by the Na-tional Government should startle the un-reflecting by their apparent departurefrom former precedents. The fact (hatthe exigencies of t,h,i country have notpreviously called for their exercise, docsnot, however; prove that they do not ex-ist. A state of war necessarily calls forthe exorcise of the utmost powers ofsovereignty, which are wholly disused intime of peace. Moro especially ia thistrue of a domestic war like the present.Tho whole war power is conferred by theConstitution upon tha National Govern-ment, aud the propriety of i's exercise atsuch a time as this will hardly bo ques-tioned. In fact the imperative necessityfor its exercise is one of the propositionsmade too clear for argument by the con-dition of tha country. The people oftha loyal States havo aequiepood in itw th great unanimity. Tiioy have disregarded tho unreasonable and factiouscomplaint that the libartiois of the countrywere endangered by tho encroachmentsof the General Government, and havemost emphatically suttaincd the Adminiatration.

They know that tho liberties and exis-tence of the oountry aro threatened to-gether by tho rebellion, and that they canonly look for union and peace throughtho total destruction of that rebellion.—For this purpose they have rallied aroundand upheld tho Government of tho Uni-ted States, and they will continue to upbold it. TLo march of events has mademany tuiugs dear which have been con-sidered doubtful. Fojr years ago, whenwe assembled hero, tha discussion turnedupon the repeal of tho personal 'ibertylaws, and tho propriety of seudiug commisaioners to meet Joba Tyler and hisVirginia traitors to endeavor to ejfectanother compromise. Michigan spurnedboth, to the great grief of timid oonservatives, and declared that she demandedher rights under the Constitution, audattended te accept notiiiog less; that shewould abide by tho lav?, but the (lay oi

would* notcompromises was ove"; sne wotna'uotmeet Virginia to oonmder whether byabasement we could win her to remain i:ithe Union ; tho Union was a fixed anceternal fact, and if any should a'.tempttoidestroy it, and our birthright iu itthen she oSered the National jjovernmcniher entire military and monetary powerto maintain it by force of arms. Ancshe has kept her pledge. Who novwould havo it otherwise ? Many a bravahero has bit the dust maintaining thapledge; many a household baa beendraped with mourning, and many a heaihas beeu broken. Bui who would takit back f Ihat la pricclesa which ibrought with blood.

Thus has our national Union focf:made sacred, and its emblems endearedin the hearts of the people. Thus werestore national sentiments, national hou-

*or and national faith. Have we paid toohigh a price for it? We do more; in-stead of casting down any of the safe-guards of liberty, we rebuild the ancie.it

ndmarks- of freedom and destroy forever the bulwarks of slavery. Prejudi-ces made venerable by age, which nothingelse could have made respectable, timohonored stupidity, ouoe called states-manship, and even the religion of mam-mon, are boing swept av?ay iu the earn-estness of the conflict, which every onenow knows to bo " irrepressible." Mendrive at once at tbe root of tho matter,and having found the infamous authorof all our troubles, they recognize our oldacquaintance, " tho peculiar institution,"and prepare a fitting end for him. Ashe has lived and increased in power, andbecome bloated with pride, through hy-pocritical pretences .of reverence for thoConstitution and impudent dernancta forits protection, so let him perish by theConstitution which he bus insulted auddefied. By the glorious amendment ofuniversal freedom, we are about to breakevery yoke, wipe away the last spot fromtbe national banner, and stand forth anation of freemen indeed. And thepeople cry amen, and amen ! Who nowwould have this othorwise ?

The dose of the great drama ap-proaches. The skies of tho Southernhorizon are lighted up with the glow ofUnion victories.. Tho proud r.nd boast-ful chivalry fly before tho despised mudsills, " tho greasy mechanics and smallfisted farmers" of tho North—nay, bo-

the compass, comiueuce their triumphalniaroh upou '.ho doomed place. It willi'rtll, and in Us fall the Confederacy, blackwith treason, stained with blood, and ab-horred by all good men throughout theworld, will perish miserably Upon theblackened spot where it fell will rise inresplendent beauty tho re-establishedUnion, purified in the heated furnace offierce trial ; consolidated in uni'y andaffection by common suSeriitgB and dau-gers ; adornod with tho garlands of vie-ory and peace, it will start upon its new

The Peaoe Negotiations.New York, Jan. 11.

The World's Washington special, asserts, Francis P, Blair haa gone to therebel capital with tha full knowledge andon.3eut of President Lincoln, and is

olothretl with all authority requisite foropening negotations with Jeff. Davis, witha view to restore peaos.

His instruction as to terms to ba offer-ed aro embraced within those three pro-positions, each of which ara finsl: First—an amnesty to all; Second—the con-stitution as it is aud tho Union as it was;Third—total abolition of slavery withina reasonable length of time.

Another spoaial of tho same dato tothe World gives the following rumors:That advices direct from llichornid,represent Jeif. Davis fl3 strongly inclinedto peace measures, and willing to acceptmuch more liberal terma than at firstsupposed.

This 13 deemed mo3t auspicious for theresult ot Blair's mission. Mr. JLinooln,on tho othor hand, is disposed to be aslenient as possible, but insists that what-ever terms are agreed upon privately thofirst action on the part of tho South mustbe to lay down its arms and acknowledgethe supremacy of tbe Uuion.

It ia reported Blair is authorized toUnder Alex. H. Stephens a free conductto Washington to consult with the au-thorities there upon terms of pcaco.

The report is current to-night that ex-Governor Rivos, of Virginia, and ex-Govornor Orr, of South Carolina, are onthe way to V/ashington as representa-tives of the Southern Confederacy toconfer with the Federal authorities uponterms of poaco and re union.

Had thereturns all been made, or correct re-turns been made in all cases where tho" motions" were gone through with,even the soldiers' vote would not havesaved either JAY or CIIILDS, and a parti-san Senatecoulu not have found tbe pre-tonso for "rebuking" electors of the sev-enth and eight Senate districts for re-jecting them. After leaving Messrs.JONES, ROBISON, and HOYT " out in the

cold," the Senate graciously grantedthem permission to content the seats ofMessrs. JAY. GUILDS, and CRAWFORD.

—The action of the House on similarcontested seats, is in happy contrast withthat of the Senate. It went throughUie form of investigation, instead of ren-dering judgment, issuing execution, andthen granting trial.

Geu. BUTLER himself has proved afailure, so far as military capacity is con-cerned at least, aud has been removedfrom his command of the Army of theJaums, and ordered to report at Lowell,Mass.

We understand now tho fullins»mugof that pernicious phrate "sov-ereign States," which had stealthilycr«pt its way into so many public docu-ui»nt«, political «p-eches anri platforms,and finally iuto the common language oft'ne people, until it came to teach aud beunderstood to mean that there was noother sovereign in this country but theStates, and that whatcvar they decided todo, it w-.s hwful to perform.

Deprived, to a greatextent, of its transportation, its armsaud munitions, it is not. likely that it wilever be really formidable again. At tincall of their Commander in-Chi-i theyhave "pressed the soil of Tennessee,'but all in vain. Tennessee has tbriisthem forth from her loyal bosom iu thesmoke and flame ot battle, and henceforth ehe is free. The Empire Stnto ofthe South has been traversed by a Unionanny from border to border, from themountains to tho sea. The shell ot thorebel power is broken, and its hollow-ness laid bare.

useless to attempt to convince Jeff. Da-via of tha folly of the rebellion, until itis understood by tho Southern people.

The Post calls Blair's mission a fool'serrand, and thinks peace is quite near,and will come from the Southern Statesand people. It says these missions toRichmond enable the rebel leaders totell their people that the United Statesaro weary of the war, and anxious for ac<ssation of hostilities. It considersGrant, Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, andFarragut the best and surest peace-makers.

The Board of Supervisors willbe in session on Tuesday next, the 17thinst., to approve the Bonds of the Treasurer elect, and to transact such otherbusiness as may properly come before it.We would modestly suggest that ittake the " sober eo.cond thought," andreconsider its action rejecting the claimof W. A JONES, Esq., for services asSuperintendent of tbo Poor. We takeit for granted that Mr. JONKS was le-gally elected, but whether he was or not,it is certain that he entered on duty,faithfully served the opunty, and 13 enti-tled to his pay. It is no time and noway to contest and settle tho legality ofhis election, on the consideration of aolaim for services. If there was seriousdoubt of his being legally elected, itwould have been more manfully solvedby testing it in tho Courts when he as-sumed the office, than by refusing to payhim for services rendered and received.If tbe Board was always as scrupulousabout making illegal allowances—by thisremark we do not intend to questionMr. JONES' claims in tho least, for webelieve it just and legal—it would re-vise some of tha allowances made its ownmembers, say for extending tax rolls,whether figured by the extension or bytho day.

A MODEST PROCEEDING—Tbe case

of J . W-WBSTER CHILDS, contesting the

seat of Hon. J. J. ROBISON in the Sen-te, was referred to a special commit-0. On this committee, Hon. E. O.ROSVJJNOI!, President of the Senate, ap-ointed Senators Jay, Hubbard, andIcC'urdy. The fitness of these men toit on the committee in question, is easilyetermined. Mr. JAY had just been ad-

nitted to a seat in the Senate, by therbitrary act of that body, Mr. JONESolding the certificate of election ; audMr. HOBBAKD was elected by the sold-iers' vote. Thus two of tho committeeould not by any stretch of the iniagina-ion be considered unpartial judges, andompetent to sit in the case. We areurprised that the President of the Sen-tte did not ignore parliamentary rules,and decline to appoint Mr. JAY as chair-man of the committee, and more sur->rised that he should have added Mr.3TBIIARD without the least show of par-iamentary reason.

Late rebel newspapers contaiian interesting and detailed narrative othe late Union raid of Gens.

Though an effort is madto represseut the extent of the injurymuch loss than it. really is, tho writecanuot avoid acknowledging that it wavery great, and derives some eonso'atiofrom the fact, that as the Yankees havnow done all tho harm in that region theare capable of, some rest for the reb'troops may be hoped for.

But in othercases, other points will be made, such asillegal votes, fraudulent returns, sup-pressed returns, &c, &c , and an effortwill bo made to compel a return of thevote of the 14th Michigan, and sundryother regiments.

On the 11th iust., the eommitteoon election of the House, reported thatJAMES CLEMENTS was entitled to the

seat occupied by J. F. MILLER, whichreport was adopted by the House. MR.CLEMENTS appeared and was sworn in,and MR. MILLER, concluding that hewas caught iu bad company, shook thedust from ofl' his garments, and left thaHouse. This announcement will notsurprise a single reader, and so it is un-necessary to add comment or explana-tion.

We have. read a largeeharo of the evidence, and expected .thisresult. Opdyke's character has beendamaged more by the trial than by thealleged libel, and if he is wi.se lie willpay the costs already made, and let thematter drop.

JJ3T Provost-Marshal General FRYhas ordered that no credits shall be allowed to reduce the quotas under thelate call for 300,000 men, except by aoLual enlistments in the army, navy andmarine corps since the 19;h ult. Thisstops allowances for overplus, for threeyears men, for occasional enlistmentssince the last draft, as.well as for tha en-tire 30th Infantry. As the will of theProvost-Marshal General seems to be lawour citizens will have to buckle in.

d P Tho breezes frofn Washington-wards come laden with rumors of mis-sions to Richmond, pence negotiations,&o., &c, which our readers will receivewith many grains of allowance. vVedo not believe they will result in peacebefore the next draft. Aud when themissions hiive failed it is more thanprobable that the.President wilt disownthem as he did the Gilmore-Jacques ad-venture.

Asour readers will all form their own con-clusions of its merits, we dispense withany ciiticiam of its recommendations, oreven of its discussion of the everlasting•' colored individual," for without thatgreat national bone being discussed, hisfriends, would have sworn that the mes-sage wns a forgery.

The two DTttnohes of tha Legisla-ture havo gone liberally into the messen-ger busiueiS: The Senate has appointedfour messengers, and the House ten, tunlit is supposed the number would havebeen indefinitely increased had anymore of the membars sons or relativesof suitable age.

Ludicrous Side of Life.The dextrous l<jr,p of thought by

which tho mind escapes from a poem-ingly hopelss dilemma, is worth all theye-tments of dignity which the worldholds. 11 was this roaUir.iss in ropar-tee which oobtinually sav-nd Voltairefrom social overturn, He or.cts praisedanother writer very heartily to a thirdpernou. " It is very strange," was thareply, " that you speak so well of him,i t he pays you ero a charlatan.""Oh," replied Voltaire, " I think itvery likely that both of us may be mis-takes." Again, you must all haveheard tho anecdote of tho young gen-tlemao who was discoursing very dog-matically about the appropiratu sphere

* of women. "And pray sir," screamedout an old Woman, " what is the appro-pi ir.to sphere of woman ?" " A celes-tial ephero, madam." Robert Hall didnot lose hi3 power of retort even mmadness. A hypocritical condolor•*'*i*h his misfortunes onco visited him inbo mad house, «r;d said, in a whining

tune. " What brought you here, Mr.ITdli ?" Hall significantly touched hisbiow with hit* iii.gur, and replied," that ' l l never briug you, sir—toornuuli brain !" A rapid change fromenthusiasm (o nonchalance is often nec-essary in society. ThuB, a person onceeloquently eulogizing the augelic quali-ties of Jonn of Arc, was suddenly metby the pstulant question, " What wasJoan of Arc made of?" "She wasMaid of Orleans." A Yankee is neverunset by tho astonishing, tie walksBiut:.g the Alps with his hands in hispockets, and the smoke of his cigar isseen among the mists of Niagara. Oneof this class sauntered into the office ofthe lightning telegraph, and asked howlong it would tako to transmit a mes-sage to WaahiDgton. " Ten minutes,"was tho reply. " I cau't wait," was therejoioder. Sheridan never was withouta reason, Hover failed to extricate him-self in any emergency by his wit. Ata couiit-n' house, where he was once ona visit^an elderly maiden lady desiredto bo bis companion in a walk. Hee-cueed himself at first on account ofthe biidaoss of the weather. She soon•ftorwapda, however, interrupted him inan attempt to escape without her." Well," *he suid, "it has cleared up I»>ee." "•• Why, yes," he answered, " ithas cleased up enough for one, but notenough* for two," I t was this readinesswhich mnde John Randolph so terriblein retort. H-J was the -Thersites ofCongrews, a tonguo-etabber. No hy-perbole of contempt or scorn could belaunched against him, but he couldovertop it with something more scornfulor ccn'emptuouf. Opposition onlymrddsned him into more brilliant bit-terne?3. " Isn't it a shame, Mr. President," said he one day in the Senate," that tho noble bull-dogs of the admin-istration should be wasting their pre-cious time in worrying the rats of theopposition ?" Immediately the Senatewas in an uproar, and he was clamor-ously called to order. Tho presidingofficer, however, sustained him; and,pointing his long, skinny finger at his

How" to Make nice Butter in Winter.A contributor to the Country Gentle-

man fives' some pertinent hints aboutmaking butter in winter. He says thatmaking'good yellow butter in winter willdepend on certain conditions and oontin-genoies which are as follows :

1st. A cow must Luve a good supplyof good hay, that has been made of goodgrass, out before the blossom has fallen,and cured properly, without having beenwet, while it was being cured. 2d. Afew orange carrots daily—not reduced toa fino pulp and mingled with butter—but fed to the cow in connection with afew pounds of Indian meal, made of yel-low corn. 3d. A good supply of goodcoru-stalka—not those that have beenfrost bitten and weather-beaten. 4th. Agood cow, with yellow skin about theudder is very essential. 5th. A cow ingood condition—not one as poor as 'pov-ertyation.' 6th. A good stable, well lit-tered, and an abundanco of clean waterfor tho cow to drink. 7th Never allowtha milk to freeze.

NECESSITY OF AN OPPOSITION PARTY.-

The Albany Evening Journal, (Admia-istration) of a recent dator devoted aneditorial to showing the absolute neces-}•ity for an opposition party as " an in-dispensable condition to a free State."ft ventures the declaration that " with-

jt it, Liberty would soon perish, andlaw would become the handmaid ofTyrannny." aud it claims that such anopposition is of more importance in atime of war than in a time of peace,because " then, more than ever, thosein authority need watching." Why,this is the rankest kiad of " copperhead-bra."
