Not giving a sat istactory reason to- his commander, he~ was refused a furiough. He thin came off with nut it. When he arrived here on the morn ing train, he did not even visit his wife till he had first searched out the man who had offered her the grave insult. When be walk ed into Lawehe &% Purten's and inquired for Cilly, who answered the call of his name, he discharged two pistol shots at hin-one tak in effect in the arm and the other the back of the head. Ryan the said that be had done all that he came to do, and was ready to go back to his command. We learn that our Provost Marshal, Col. Lee, is perfectly willing to send him back to Major Leyden alone, without any arrest or censure. We hope that when he returns his officers will not prefer any charges against him. but let him return to, his pet, as though he had nev er left it.

' The uessage be re us is the longest he has yet written, but is nn so on accoul of the increase 1 subject-matter hich Las t.me undfer his supervisi--u. 1. The President irst congratulates the eountry pan the -su-.-ese of our arms during the past six onthe, defeating Braxstno in the east, batuing to stupenld.us efforts made aguiust us in the west, ad achieviug at all points new glory and new mown for the Confederacy. We make an extract .m this portion of the Message which (it will e seen) closes with the agreeable suggestion that is will probably he the last year of the war: "A review of our history of the two years of er national existence affords ample cause for engratulation and demands the most fervent ex ression of our thankfulness- to the Almighty lather who has blessed our cause. We are justi ed in asserting, with a pride, surely not unbe uming, that these Confederate Statee have added nother to the lessons taught by history for the structien of man; that they have afforded an ther example of the impouibi:lty of subjugating pet:ple determined to be free ; an.1 have domon trated that no superiority of numbers or availa. >le resources can overcome the resistance offered by inch valor in combat, such constancy under suf 'ering and such cheerful endurance of privation is have been conspicuously displayed by this psople in defenee t,f their rights and liberties. rh anticipations with which we entered into the :wutest have now ripened into a convietion, which is not only shared with us by the commou opinion uf neutral nations, but is evidently forcing itself upon our enemies themsel'es. If we can but mark the history of the present ysar by resolute perseverance in the path wp have hitherto pour. sued ; by vigorous efurt in the derelopuient of all our resources for defence; and by the continued exhibition of the sawe unfaltering courage in out soldiers and able conduct in their leaders as have distinguished the past, we have every reason to expect that this will be the c'osing year of the war." 3. Ti.e President goes somewhat into det:ail in re. spet to our fureigu relations, and argues that the great European Powers (more particularly England and Franee) have acted erroneously and inconsistently in delaying to recognise the South. ern Confederacy. Their course, be maintaiu, ha: operated great injustice and wrong to ;.:r utausa He makes the following allusions to one of thi hrdships thus visited upon us: "At the inception of hostilities, the inhabitantl of the Confederacy were almost exclusively agri ulturists, those of the United States, to a grea extent, mechanies and mor..tants. We had no commercial marine; while their merehant vessels covered the ocean. We were without a navy while they hatl powerful fleets. The advantay4 rda'sfi hbd harbors 'was tht's' iuntirtlifarfadM some measure by the exposure af their commero, to attack by private armed vessela., It was knowa to Euripe that within a very few years past the U~nited States had peremaptoruly refused to accedi to proposals for abolishing privateering, on the ground, as alleged by them, that nation.' owning powerful fleets wouldl thereby obtain undue ad. rantage over those possessing inferior naval fur. :es. Yet. no souner'was war flagraut between tht Confederacy and the United States, than the ar. ltie powers of Europe issued <eders pro)hibitingl mither party fram bringing prixes into their p~.rts. 'his prohibition, directed with apparenit inipar. .iality against both belligerents, was in realIty fetive against the Confederate States alone, for hey alone coulid And a hostile comneree on the ean. Merely nominal against the United States, he prohibition operated with ,itense severity on he Coafederacy, by depriving ituof the only taeans f maintaining, with some approach to equality, s struggle on the ocean against the erushing su sriority of naval firse psssess~ed by i'.a enemies. ho value and efliciency of the weapon whIch was hs wrested from our grasp by the calibined ar. ion of neutral Huropean powort' in favor of a na on which professes openly its intention of rava ring their comsere by privateers in any future ar, is strikingly illustrated by the terror inspire4 mosg the omercial classee of the U.nited tates by a siugle eroiser of the~ Confederacy. n national steamer, commanded by offcers and manned by a crew who are debarred, by the elo re of neutral ports, from the opportunity of using eaptured vessels to be condemnued in their ior as prises, has sufiled to double the rates of marine insuranee in Northern ports and consign a fored inaction nun'ars of Northoro vessels, in ddition to the direst damage inflieted by cap. ares at sea. Hiow diffiult, then, to over-estimnate me efets that must have been produced by thec andreds of private armed vessels that weauld ae swept the seas in pursuit of the commerce of i esemy, If the means of disposing ef their rises had net been withheld by the astia.sf nec al Erope." . The President next diseusses the qnestion of te blooAde at considerable les gth. lHe proceeds skw that the European governments have vir .ally repudiated theIr eo declared pirinclelJes ofI ahim law, as enaneinted by the Congress of Par-I ,and is especially severe upon the conduet of British authorities in this saatter, lHe emn cdes hIs argumnent on this topie with the fil ow. g allusion to the e induct of her Majesty's Gev aent: " In a published deospatch from her Majsty's prign Oie, to her hinister at Washingt.on, un. r date of the I9th feubruary, d62,' oceuis the lowing passage : " Her Majesy's Government, however, are of iuion that assnming that the hlneikade was dulyj tiled and also that a number of ships Is sa-a med and remains at the entranee af a port cufil at really to proeet access to It; or 'o ereests esidit dneger of entering JI or learring Jat, and it Chese ships do net voluntarily permit ingress gress, the feet that various' ships may hae essfully escaped through it (as Ie the partien Instance here referred to) will not of Itself ent the blockade from being as oeemual one iaternatonal law. 'The words whieh I have itleied are ana add n made ly the Blri:ish Government of its own hority tom a principle the exact terms of which re settled with deliberation by the common con-I .1 of eiilised nations, and by implied nonven s with this Government, as already explained, I their eect is clearly to re-open to the preju-I e of the Confederacy one ol the very disputed estions on the law of blockade whirh the Con es f Paris proefessied to settle..

The President. gives his reason as follows for for nat having lroached this sul-joct in previous " I have hitherto refrained from calling to your attention this condlition cif -our relations with for eign poaworA f..r various reasons-the chief: of these was the fear that a statetaent of aur just grounds of complaint against a course of poliey su injurious to our interests mnight be miscon-. strued into an appeal for aid. Unequal as we were, in mere numbers and available resources. to our enemaieP, we were conscious of powers of re. sietanaes, in relation to which Europe was incredae Tous, and our remonstrances were therefore pecu liarly liable to-be misunderstool. Proudly self reliant, the Confederacy knowing fall well the character of the eontest into which it was foreed, with full trust in the superior qualities of its popu lation, the superior valor of its soldiers, the su perior skill of its Generule, and aboia all in the justice '.f its cause. felt no need to appeal for the maintaintnee of its rights to other earthly aids, and it began and has continued this struggle with the calm confidence ever inspired in those who with consciousness of right can invoke the Divine blessing on their cause. This confidence has been so assured that we have never yielded to despon dency under defeat, nor do we feel undue ei.ition at the present brighter prospect of successful is sue ti our contest. It Is therefore because our just grounds of complaint can no longer be misin terpreted that I lay them clearly before you. It seems to me now proper togiveyou the information, and although no Immediate results may be attain ad, it is well that truth should be preserved and recorded. It Is well that those who are to follow us should understand the full nature and charac tar of the tremendous enflict in which the blood of our people has been poured out like water, and in which they have res.ted unaided the shuck of hosts which would have sctfieed to overthrou many of the powers which hy their hesitation is according our rights as an independent nation im ply douibt of our ability to maintain our nati-mna existes ce.' 5. In reference to thy cruel. and disgracefe manner in which the rer has been prosecuted bj certain Abolition (jeneraels, the President says: "It is.my painful duty again to inform you u the renewed-e;aenples of every ooneoivable atro city committed by thp arned forces of the 'nites Stater, at.diferent points within the Confederacy -and which must stamp indelible inftly not onl: on the perpetrators, but on their superiors, who having the power to eheck these outrages on hu mani-y, numerous and, well authcoticated as the; have been, have n-t yet, In a single instance n which I an aware, inflicted punishment on ti. wrong-doers. Since my last cosnmunicatisn t you, one General McNeil 'murdered seven pris acrs of war in cold blood, and the demand for hi punishment has remained unsatigied. The tGuv eminent of the United States, after promising ex plenton in relation to the oearges uadl again tieneral Ber.jamin F.

The President next takes hold of A&hrshams Lincoln's late proclamation in regard te seraery and holds it up as evidenee or the impotent rage of the vile desputism at Washington. Speaking t its pus able exncatiwn ,nakin the threatened States, he says : "So far as regards the estiean of the Govern met oe saub erisainals as nay attemapt Jt eseau, tion, I ence. myself te informing you that I shall, unless ise your wis-dom you dee* somes other orse mere expedlienet, deliver to the several titate anthrities all aamissioned ogieers of the Ut'ed rtates that may hereafter be captured by onr res in any of the States embraced in the pruelia mati'n, that they may he dealt with in secordlano. with the laws of thus.

The enlisted soldies Ish'n'l entne to treat as unwilling istsruments' Ia the eomisSinnI of these crimes, and shall direct their discharge anal return to their hemu.s en the proper and usual psale.". 7. Presialsut Dais evidently hope.s much from the efla't of tW'a A bolition demonstration uapom the nuitions of Christendom. Oft its elsee upon usr own peiple, he thus speak.: je This proelauseitidn will have anether salutary efect In calmIng the 'ears of thasse who have eon stantly evinced the- apprehension that this war mighrnd by seg recoenstruetlon of the old Union or some renewal of sinse politieael relatieons with the U'nitedl 8tateg.
