authorites them to be wld only, at ^(J,

have delivered bonda tobidaera at Swri Aa-

In .thia statement is indu4ed about $11,-
• 000,000 due abroad qn the cotton loan, the
payment of which is amply provided for by
cotton now held bv the government. The
increase of the. public debt during the l^t
six months, which fcave been Bfxpftths of
great war expenditure, has beeo ^ the. rate
of but little over 416,000,000 a n^ontb,
proving beyond a doubt the ability qf our
people to bear the burthenp. o^ the war for
aryr jndeflnite period of coming time.
The main features e£ |the plan nreaented
by Secretary Trenj^olm, (or rem^yiog the
existing evlle of the cumency, are ba«eu m
on the true laws 0f.p9an.ee, and. though
simple in their character, will undoubtedly

Of our readers. Attentipp- Ut (ydled by the
President to the necessity.of amepdatory
legislation in the details of ithe, tax and tithe
laws; whioh all. wiU accord in, a,n4;jhe re-
, commends, some, proyUio^ for increasing
the oompensatiOB-oC pubho^officer?.. This
step is a necessary one in view of the de-
predation of the wrreacy In which thoy
are paid: ' : - ...ft :
■ The question of the manner of filling up
over armies 1 ie presented in a recommeppo-
tion to abolish all exemptions by Uw, and
ebnfer upon the military authorities'a dia-
cretionary power to detail. We do not prot
pose bow to examine this important ques-
tlou^hidi would affect «p many and such
important principles 1a wr political organ-
iaatlon. It will-no-doubt meet abuuuant
disensaion In the haUa of Congress, as well
'as in the columns of the Praas.i- : -

Of the exchange of prisoners is briefly ' re-

is recommended, aud the economical Ktjd
political questions involved^tfeoreia, are in*
'oid en tally reviewed.. InFlconectien With
' "this subject the President wproves the pro-
position to arm the slaves* a step which we
oannot bat consider aa unwise and unne-
cessary. II! r' '
I The message concludes with a referjenoe
to the question of megotiaUons forpesoe,
Which he plaecB at once ea the true and
oply basis on which they can be opebed;
that is, when the delusion of the Northern
pooplo of their abtHty to conquer ns shall
have been dissipated, and thetr resolution
to make no peSKO except on terms of ear
uticonditlonalsubmiesien and degradation,
shall have passed aw*y.:'-No man who is
true to himself atid his country will eon-
template ahy ether basis of negotiation,
and thie President assutes the World that
whenever there shall be On the part of our
enemies a desire fbr peace on thaie just
grounds, there wilt be no difficulty in find,
ing the mesnp' Whereby negotiations ean
bo opeaed. fm4 th^ government can be at
no loss for means adapted to so desirable
an «id. • >n <<■, ■■ !
The calm and olear s'atexnent of our po-
akiaa and resoqrees, presented in this
dnenmenliby tha President, cannot fall tb
assist in produotng reenlts which we all
desire. Wherever it may be read, it must
carry the conviction that toe Confederacy
ie very, very far from being conquered,
and that the task before the new Linooln
administration, is net a.Whit less than that
presented to the old one fear years ago.
We eomaaend the meesage to the oarefnl
attention of our ireaders. • n,..

Gen. Butler has left this city for the siat
of war, bivt, in parting, he has left behind a
Gordian Knot fW the keftn wits of our poli-
tical a«Jep.ts to cut ib' iiinder. His speech
delivered on Monday, on the occasion 0f
tb^ reception at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
liaS a Significance beyond what attaches to
iher conventional a-ctnowledgetoent of an
Ovation. If we mistake not, ii heralds the
prospectrve polifcy of the Administration. •
After quoting, that portion of the speech
aUuding.to tbe,amnesty that should be of-
fered the Confederates, it says: v . ' J
'.This is, apparently,hi step in the right di
rection ; but is it sincere, and is it not too
late 1 We fear that it foretells the design Of
the Administration to offer terms closely ap-
proxfniatin^ the line of feirness, • but just
without the'lynit apeeptable to the Sottth.-
Terms that it m certain will be rejected by
' the Confederate authorities, but that will be

by the North to create a fresh wat impulse,

millions of ,human being?, but four years

It was a master-piece of cunniag to Jfrfc-

master minister of their doctrine. General
Butler's mission to this city has not been In'
vain; he has pointed out the shadow of
cOmiug events, and It is ccrtainly porten-
tous, dark and terrible.
