' Tho couqueit of the whole line of the Mistlasippi had cleft the Confederacy asunder, sod shorn it of half of its strength hod cooped up the rebellion in one corner 'of America, ex posed to certain and easy ubjection tho vast States of Alkausas, Texas and Louisiana, which it had . dedicated anew to progreas and to freedom and the vast territories stre'.chiug westward to the ocean, and the eliminated area over which, in tho progress of Secession, 81v- f try was to have extended. It acemodini-)0"!sih! to over estimate ' the ningnitude r jjiet witti Ui6 nsucrtfo'u that it was ahogeth' p-tr unities wfifj and that tue north were proceeding in what was called a barren! and hopeleaa conflict, outraged the principles of justice, and challenged tho indignation of munkiud; hut the Federal opera tious hud not uiorcly cleft the Confederation in hulf, but had piilcdd it to the heart. The pusislimi which tho Federals had taken up at Chattanooga aud it is manifest uo ellurts of the confederation could dislodjra them Would enable them to prey at their leisure upon tho very vitals of the rebellion. ' Desperate indeed was the plight to which that ruined cause was re duced. Thanks to the firmucss of the British Government, nil hope of Eurojwan aid withdrawn, tho steam rums safely se cured, which were to havo raised tho block ade-niutiny and treason in the camp of the Confederates: Alabama and Georgia full of disaffection; North Carolina almost in Open revoltj Kentucky gone; Toas, Louis iana, Arkansas going; lialf Tennessee gono half Virginia gone; Maryland gone; New Orleans, tho greatest city in the Confcdcr any, in the hands of its! cuOuliti.1; Charlos- lon,1 he cradle of the rebellion, bombardod Richmond iu danger; starvation every where; gold and credit nowhere; tho paper doll.ti worth just as many pence as it pur ported to be worth shillings; the remain ing sustenance of tho people in tho hands of gamblers and sharpers; immense hos tile armies advancing on every side, und aecupying one after the other of those military positions which must eventually coiuuiaud the whole country the rcpubll can cause triumphaut, and that by vast majorities, all over tho North the hope of tho pro Slavery and Democratic Presi dent -that last among the many false hopes of Seecssion-tlius effectually taken away; the courage and determination of the North rising from day to day in proportion as they saw the struggles of thoir victim growing feebler and feebler where was there in all that a single ray of hope fur the South , or a siuglo drop uf consolation for her abettors iu this country ? Ho rejoiced iu the probablo termination of this cruel conflict, and tho utter overthrow of tho conspiracy that caused it. He rejoiced in the approaching emancipaf tion ot three million of his fellow men in the triumph o f right and order, and the tiiurougn vinuieat ou pi the will ana pow er of a free Government to hold its own-lad this rebellion prospered, had : America succumbed, had sheshruuk from her terrible fesponsibilitics, had she permitted her flag .iiid her lit ws to bo trampled iu the uiirej advuutage would have been taken ofher feebleness, her pusilauiuiity, and her failure, to roll back the tide of lib erty ill over the world. We should have heeif told that the slate which submitted to its own dismemberment, which connived at its own resolution that the form of Govettimcht which parlied with rebellion1 was unworthy of place in the great comity of nations; and that form of Government had forfeited the respect and confidence of us all. Why, the rebellion was scarcely hatched when the oiultHtion of those whoso causo wAs not that of tho people, jumping to the con elision that it could not prosper, knew no bounds. We were told that tho American bubble had burst, that the reboblic was a rope of sand, that the great experiment had failed. Wo wcro told all this, and we Wefe told also to lift our eyes aud witness the wrath of heaven descending upon a people who had dared to flourish without a peerage, a priesthood, or a prince. And tho inference which was drawn from all that was, that in a country in which Democracyin tho American sense hadnobcttcr chance than polygamy, any measure which should have tho effect of raising any por tion of the unenfranchised population out of the political depredation under which they labored would be a stride in the direction of a A incricau Democracy, and therefore of American ruiu. . That was the inference that was drawn. ' lie did not sav whether it was a just one or not, but now that tho" pfophesy of those who utter ed it had proved false now that the rope had shown itself to be no rcpo'of sand now that tho great experiment had trium phed, we had a right to turn round and take those who uttered that inference up on their own ground, and sity yott argued against all l;bcral measures, against all. frca institutions, epon the hypothesis that in America they had failed to produce a brave aud high spirited people; Upon the hypothesis that they h.ld failed to crush the rebe'lion, and topfesefve the integrity of the empire; upon tho hypothesis that they wete leading straight to national bankruptcy and national dishonor, and we had a right to turn round and take them upon their own ground, now that the war had aesuniod the position which it had, ana" force them back step by step through all their deductions, to reverse them, and to argue in favor of those 1 very treasures which their taunts, their inferences,' and their hypotheses were intended to prcjo- dice and condemn. MOUNT TliRNON, OHIO TUESDAY, SMBmm The President's Message. . It would bri Itli 'ulmoet nvli roua pndtin- try to criticise tho tiianber of tho Presi. dent's Message, when tho matter of it is so important. 1 Mr. Lincoln d-un not cultivate the graces of rhetoric a-, much as he does the force of argument; he is more anxious about tho suuuducss of hid opinions thnu ho is shout tho stylo in which they nro expressed; and if ho luannges'to get his views into such n shape that they can le understood by tho "plain people," he teems to be abundantly satisfied. Nevertheless, tho earlier parts of the Message afo stnoorhily and even gracefully writton, aud what is moro important, they present a condition of our foreign affairb which must please tho groat body of the people. Though in the tnidft of -nh almost unparalleled Waf at home, we nro at peace With nil the wofld. We have some topics of controversy With one Edfopaan nntion, which has pleased to interpret the duties of neutrality in a very odd way, but these dfe all of a kind which may bo amicably settlod. Our domestic affairs, too, are shown to be mora prosperous than might bo expected under circumstances of so much tur moil aud trouble. Our industry is nctic, tho war odvauces vigorously, tho fiuaneial expedients it has compelled, though they they exhibit u large debt, have yet produced no general derangement or distress, and there is every reason to hope that the formidable insurrection which have been battling nearly three yeai's will Le brought to au eud speedily; and iu a Way to leave our fundamental institutions unsubn-rted and even unharmed. " 1 It is to accomplish this last end that the Presidcht Ventures upon what will bo un iversally regarded as tho most momentous part of his communication tht schemo for au amnesty of tho rebels who shall lay down thoir arms and for a rehabilitation of the State authorities. No more difficult political problem was ever proposed to the statesman of a nation than that which has grown out of the existingwar. It involves tho rcoovery of the revolved Stales without doing damage to our peculiar theories of Federal and State relation, or, in other Words, without , upsetting tho very struc ture for tho iutegrity aud preservation of which tho war is waged, and yet remove tho pcotiforcm local institution which has been the sole cause of tho war. There are men, and uot.a few of them in number, who deem it tho best way to unite this Gordian knot to cut it with a sword. Mr. Sumner, General Hutler and other high authorities argue that the States by the act of secession committed fdo dt se cut their own throats so effectually that nothing is left of thetn but the dead body, on which tho GeneraJ Government, as the representative of the people, has a full right to administer. They have become territories, in a Word, over which Congress may exercise on almost plenary legislation, abrogating slavery, and revising even the codes of law. Mr. Lirtco'n is clearly not of this opin ion; but either does ho rush to the other extreme, which seems to bo the favorits view of tho opposition prints, that the rebels, by simply cast "their arms, should be i restored to a complete communion with their late follow-citizons. That would be to condote the most stupendous crime ev cf committed by ahy body of men. ; It would say to tbo world, that the republic is indiffercut to bor own vital well-being, to tho sacred majesty of her laws, and the unspotted honor of her naino. It would bring back to our counoils the infamous demagogues who for thirty years have plotted our ruin. All the old causes of bieker-ing wonld be renewed, ail the sores set running with increased virulence and a more malignant huraor Uesidos, the laws of tho nation have already declared the lives and, property of these men forfeit; the Supreme Court treats them as alien enemies; and policy as well as principle dciaauds of them some atonement for tke awful and atrocious offences they have perpetrated. The sufferings they have brought upon themselves may be a sufficient pun- Ishmont fo their folly; but the dictates of justico ask a retribution for thoir crime. . The President suggest a mode in which our problem may be solved without infringing any of its necessary condition. He oflers an amnesty to all who have been engaged in the rebellion, Five the lenders of it, if they shall fay down their arms and take tho oath of allegiance he prescribes It is his prerogative as chief rongistrato to grant pardons to offenders; it is the settled doetrino of tho courts that he may couple this4 pafdon with such terms as may be dechted expedient, '. e., it may bo an unlimited Ot a conditional pardon; itnd ho now exercises th! prerogative in referenco to the idsurgenfai IIo says to them that they may avoid tho penalties a'n'hounccd ajrninst tieir crimej and restore themselves to all their former rights of citizenship, by sim ply forswoaring their allcgianco to slavery (the demon, which has . tempted then to j iu'ib) and renewing their allegiance to the power thoy have wronged. ; Nothiug, it iiiii.u Le mlmitit'd, I'OuM be more magnanimous oi lenient torfunls tin lebels; i hoy havo put themselves beyond the pale ol'llie law by 'their iiisuiii'v; tl.eir properties are already declared Cunfi-iente liud their lives r in jeopardy; add if they coiitinuo coiiiuiimcioii, th'i wholo of the beantiful region they inhabit will be iu- evitablo ovvrruu by our armies, their Gulilj laid waste, thuircitiosuud towns desolated and their homes pillnjicd.' Put iii this dire struit the President offers thorn not only a peace which shall mvo them from tho miseries of Wfli', but uli honorable ptir dun which sbnll fuilnu them with ull the attributes of the eitiitoii.

After u short tdlk they all agreed that one must be found.. '.So additional men wcro appointed, and the search began ih pood earnest. The first night's report was, "No Dog;" the next brought the same; the third day was almost gone, when just nt iitirht, in a houso at tho farthest corner of the toWri, a dog entirely , while was discovered I It was a shy, gentle little creature, the only pet and companion of an old woman by tbeiafite of Dlaek Sriake. She bW heard of the search, add for three days had been droiding the discovery of hr pet.. But , since it . was made, she dared not refuse to give up the dog, lost the Great Spirit should bo offended. The man who had niado tho discovery soon brought (he others who had been commis sioned to search, and sitting 0on in circle, they discussed tho matter gravely, and agreed that that tho dog must be tak en. The poor dog had crept meanwhile; close to tho side of his mistress; aud sat looking first at tbe men aud then up to his mistress, Suddenly he started up, slunk away to tho door, and whined to be let out. The door was opened, he went out. and soofl aftef tho men left, agreeing to call for the dog in tho morn ins. It Was bright and early When they called, relieved that ot last they had ac, coruplished their object.

The ilay was spent in looking for the White dog, bat all (ono ptrpose. The day for tho dance had passed, and it must not be longer delayed, So a dog With one black efot on its tail was sobstitnted. It was trimmed with blue ribbons, killed, fastened to a polo, and danced around as unul.
