Before the late Congress adjourned, it issued an Address to the people, which we would be glad to publish in full, and would, but for iu length. We give the closing pottioo. After giving a brief lateinent of tbe occasion and origin of the war, sod of our efforts for peace, the Address proceeds: IT-.!. --J _ ? f _ # umii iviui tviaonct is givvo ui H change of policy on the part of the'Gov eminent and aotna assurance it received, that efforts at negotiation will uol bo spurned, the Congrats ara of opin'on, that any diract overtures for peace would compromise our talf respect, It fruitless of good, and intarpratad by the enemy as an indication of weakness. We can only repeat tba dttirt of lb? people for peace, and our read in est to accept terms, consistent witb the honor and integrity and independence of the States, and compati bla with tba safety of oar domestic ius'.i* tntione. Not content with rejecting all proposals for a peaceful settlemeutof the controversy, a cruel war of invasiou waa corn meneed, which, iu ita progress, bat been marked by a brutality and disregard ?f tba rulae of civilised warfare, as stand out in unexampled barbarity in the history of modern wars. Accompanied by every* aat of cruelty and rapine, the conduct of tba enemy has bean destitute ol that for beamti^ and magnanimity, which civili salion and Christianity bare introduced to mitigate tbe asperities of war. The atrocities ere too incredible for narration. Instead of a regular war, our resistance of I bo unboy efforts to cruth out our nt tional existence is treated it a rebel lion, end tbe. settled international rules be tween belligerents ere ignored. Instead Of conducting tbe war as betwixt two Military and political organisations, it is * war against tba wbola population.? flenses are pillaged aad burned. Churches ore defaced. Towns aro ransacked^? 'Clothing of women and infants is stripped from their persore. Jewelry and memen toea of tbe dead ara stolen. Mills and implements ol agriculture ere destroyed. Private snip. MOrks are broken up. The introduction of medicines is forbidden.? Means of subsistence aro wantonly wasted to produce beggary. Prisoners are returned with aontagious diseases. The lwt bmmI of food dm bean taken from faailiea, who were not allowed to carry on ? trad* or branch of ioduitry A rigid ad eJTeueive espionage bee Lkwd intro daced to ferret out "disloyalty." Personi" bar# bean forced to ebooee between eter' ration of halpieae children and taking the ' oath of ailegiaoee to a hated Government, j The eartei for the exchange of pritenera j haa beta eiiepended and our unfortunate j aoidlera subjected to the gaueeeet indigni* j |iea.

Otaaoe, "Mr have been murdered by tbe Butlers and 1 McNeils and Milroys, who are favorite ' < Generals of our enemies. Kefinsd and i i delicate ladies have been s?ixec', bound : I with cords, imprisoned, guarded by tie- < groes, and held as hostages for"lb? return i of re captured slave*.

Properly has been confiscated. Military Governors have been appointed for States, satraps for Provinces, and liaynaus for j cities. These cruelties and atrocities of the ! enemy have been exceeded by their nil- ! licious and blood thirsty purposes and | machinations . in reference to the j l slaves Disregarding 'he teachings of the approved writers on iotsrnalionul law and the practice and claims of his own Gov- ; eminent in its purer days, President Lin* j coin has sought to convert the Soeth into I u St. Domingo by appealing to the en* 1 polity, lusts, ambition and ferocity of the ' slave. Abraham Lincoln is but the lineal | descendant of Dunroore, and the impotent I I malice of each whs foiled by the fidelity ! of those who, by the meanness of ibe I conspirators, would only, if euccessfuj, | have been seduced into idleness, filth, i vice, beggary and deatb. Put we tire of these indignities an I i enormities. They are too sicken ng tor j recital. History will hereafter /lillory I those who committed and encouraged men crimes ns immortal infamy. General Robert E. Lee, in a recent bat I tie order, stated to his invincible legions, that the "cruel foe seeks to reduce our fathers and mothers, our wi?es and.chiL dreii to abject slavery/' He does nut paint too strongly the purpose of the ene my or the consequences of subjugation. I What has been done in certain district*, ' is but the prologue of the bio >dy drama that will be enactt-d. Tl is well that every man and woman should have some jiiit concentian of fha horrora of p,>rmup*l ? I lie late Ireland Ml the period of its con quest. hiu! of 1'oland, distinctly fores bad owi what wonUi await us. The guillo line, in its censely work of blood, would be revived for the execution of the "rebel j leaders." The heroes of our contest would | be required to lay down their proud ensigns, on which are recorded the battle fields of their glory, to stack their arms, lower their heads in humiliation and dishonor, and pass under the yo'.e of aboli tion misrule ami tyranny. A hateful in quisition, made atrocious by series and informers; star chamber imprisonments, banishments and death ; a band of detec tives, ferrelting ">ut secr$ta, lurking in ev ery family, existing in every conveyance; the oppression of free speech ; the depri vation of itrrns and franchises ; and the ever present eeriae of inferiority would make our condition abject and miserable ' beyond what freemen can imagine. Sub ! j'lgatioD involves everyihing thai the : torturing malice and devilish ingenuity of our foes can suggest. The destruction our nationality, the equalization ol whiles and blacks, the obliteration of Stale lines, degradation to colonial vassalage and the reduction of many of our C'.tixens to dreary, hopeless, remediless bondage. A hostile police would keep "ordei" in every town and city. Judges, like liusleed, would hold our courts, pro 1 lected by Yankee soldiers. Churches I would be filled by Yauke<A<r lory preach era Every office would be bestowed on Alien!. Absenteeism would curse us with ell it! vices. Superadded lo these, sink nig us into a lower abyss of degradation, | ?s would be made the slaves of our slaves, hewers of wood and drawers of wster for those upon whom God has stamped indelibly the marks of physical and intellectual inferiorly. The past or foreign countries rived not be sought lo furnish illustrations ef the heritage of I sliatue that subjugation would entail.? Baltimore, St. Ix>uis, NaslivilU, Knosiille. New Orleans, Vicksburg, llutileville, Nor folk, Newbern, Louisville end Fredericks* bur4 are the rtn?t fruits oi the ignominy and inner! v of Yankee domino n. The and aiory ot the wrong* and in* ' I digniliee endured I>y lbo?e Siaiea winch ; i here been in the coiii|?!eie or partial poe * eeeion of the enemv, will give the beat I evidence of the conarquenee* of nuhjngw i lion. Miaaouri, e magnificent empire of | agricultural and mineral wealth, ia to day | a amoking ruin end the theatree of the | moat revolting crueltiea and barhariama. The rnimona of tyranny conaunia her t auhetanee, plunder her citixena, and da* j I itroy her peaoe. i tie aacrad righta or ; fc 'iceman are struck down, and tbe blood ' jf her children, bur maidens* end bar old nen, is made to flow, out ot mere wan Ion n ess and recklessness No whispers jf freedom go unpunished, and the very I msiineta of self presto vation are outlawed. Tbe worship of (? n| a lid the rites wfsepul lure IfliiM bw>Mi khan efully interi opted, and, in tiianv instances, the cultivation of the soil is pjoi tinted t? lo r own citizens. These facts are attested hr inativ witnesses, and it is hut a just tribute to tliml noble and chivalrous people, that, amid barbarities almost unparalleled. tbev still maintain a proud and defiaut spirit towards their enemies. In Maryland, tka judiciary, made subservient to executive absolution, furnishes no security to individual rights or personal freedom ; members of the Legislature are arrested and imprisoned Without process of law or assignment of cause, and the whole land groauelh under the appr-ssions of a merciless tyranny. In Kentucky, the bal'ot box It s been overtbr wn, free speech is suppressed, the most vexacious annoyances has an embitter, and all the arts and appliances of au unscrupulous despotism ate freely used to prevent tha uprising of the noble patriots of "the dark and blor dy ground " Note* of gladness, assurances, of a bright or And h-tlpr dm- rs?i-K us anil ilia ..? ilea may take courage and hop* for the futur#. In Virginia, (lie model of al! that illustrates buniHn heroism nod self-danving patriotism, although the tempest of de>o latino ln?? swept over Iter fair domains, 110 sigh of repentance for her soparation from the North cm he found. II*r old homesteads dismantled, her ancestral relics destroyed, her paop'e impoverished, her territory made the hallle ground for the rude shocks of contending hosts, and then divided, with hireling parasites mocking y cliiumg jurisdiction and su* tliority, the Out l>omnnoii still stands with proud crest and detftut m en, resdi to tramp beneath her lies' every usurper and Ivraul, and to illustrate e'resh her Sic Semper Tgrannie, the "proudest motto tliet over id-Zed on ? nation's shield or a warrior's arms." To prevent such effects, our people are now prosecuting this struggle. It is no mere war of calculation, no contest tor any peculiar kind of property, no barter of precious Mo d tor filthy lucre K?ery* thing involved in manhood, civilization, religion, law. property, country, hoine, is at stake. We fight not for plunder, spoils, pillage,, territorial conquest. The Government temp's hv no prizes of "beauty or booty,'' to be drawn in the lottery of this war. We seek to preserve civil freedom, honor, equality, firesides; and blood is well shed when "shed for our families, for our friends, for our kind, for our country, for our God." liurke said "a State resolved to hazard its existence rather than abandon its oh ject, must have an infinite advantage over that which is resolved to yield rath er than to carry lis resistance bemud a cerlawi point." It is heller to be con quered bv any otliei nation than by the Uatted States It is better to be a da pendency of any other powur than of that. ! > the condition of ita existence w.....1uuu.i, mm mot. *"* erned, it roust l?n in perpetual hostdjly to us.

Without murmuring, our people should r??pond to the laws, which ihe exigency demands. Kvery one capable of (rearing arms, should he con necled with some efficient military orgarn znlion.

No iimlar instance ia to be found of such spontaneous uprising and volunteering. Inspired by a holy patriotism, again nnd again have our irave soldiers, with the aid of Heaven, jaffled the efforts of our foee. It is in no srrogant spirit that we refsr o successes dial lievs cost us ?o much >lood snd b'roughl sorrow to so tnany tearls, Wa tnsy find 10 all this an j earnest of what, with determined and , resolute exertion, we can <lo to avert nub jugaiion ntul slavery?and we cannot fail i to discern iu our deliverance from ao I manv and ro great perils, llie interposition of (liar Being who will not forsake us in the trial* llial are to come.
