WASHINGTON, April 3.-Thc President's proclamation, declaring the insurrection at an cud. is published to-day. It asserts that tho Constitution provides for consti? tuent communities only ns States, ami not as territories,' dependencies, provinces or protectorates, and that such constituent States mnH therefore necessarily be made equals, and placed upon a like footing as to political rights, immunities, dignity and power with thc several States with which they are united. lt declares standing annies, military occupation, martial law, military tribunals, and thc suspension ol' the writ of habeas corpus, in time of peace, dangerous to public liberty, incompatible with individual rights of citizens, contrary to the genius and spirit of free institutions, exhaustive of national resources, and ought not therefore to be sanctioned or al? lowed, except in casf !.' of actual necessity for repelling invasion or suppressing in? surrection; und further, that the people of the Southern States have given satisfactory evidence that they aecpiiesce in tho impor? tance of thc resolution which declares that each Stat?! ought to remain and constitute an integral part of the United States. Nothing further than thc above is said about tho writ of habr?s corpus, neither does the proclamation make any allusion to a general pardon. Improvements in Letter Malls. ! A few years ago it cost as much time and trouble to pass a single let? ter through the mail as it would to transfer a hundred thousand dollars worth of property by a merchant or banker. Jf Miss Susie Higginbot tor?, of Hardscrabble, received a brief letter from her Adouis, who had come to live in the metropolis, a large amount of blanks, paper, twine and circumlocution, were ne? cessary to insure the delivery of the missive. The letter was first care? fully inspected by a mailing clerk in the St. Louis post office, then entered upon a book showing its origin, date and destination, then wrapped in a small blank; which also contained the same important information tts the book, then rewrapped in a piece of brown paper, then tied with a bit. of twiue, then superscribed "Hard? scrabble," aud finally deposited in the mail pouch ; arrived at its desti? nation, the worthy postmaster took it through the reverse process of un? tying, unfolding and re-entering the "way-bill*' upon another blank book, and after all this circumlocution, and waiting a good hour for a mail of a dozen letters to be opened, way-bills tiled, ???c., the impatient Susie re? ceives the expected letter. All this nonsense about "way-bills" has been exploded, and the reform in this matter, inaugurated by Hon. Montgomery Blair, late Postmaster General, has already saved the Go? vernment many millions in ' 'blanks, fiaper and twine," as well as clerk j tire, and afforded conveniences to the public that are altogether incal- \ eulabie. At the same time that this reform was inaugurated by Mr. Blair, he urged the adoption of a money order system by them, by which money letters should be withdrawn from the mail and the temptation to rob it thus be abolished. These and other kindred reforms have been car ried?into successful execution by Gov. Dennison, his successor in the Post Office Department, and the postal system of the United States has made more progress towards perfection in the last six years than during the whole of its previous history. This article was commenced with tho purpose of making special allu? sion to an invention of the assistant postmaster at St. Louis, Marshall Smith, Esq., which adds greatly to the facilities for transmitting letter mails. The invention consists of a box, instead of a leather pouch, tis a receptacle for letters, during their transit from one part of the country to another. The box is made of wood, strongly bound with iron, and se? cured by the usual post office pad? lock. The box is about two feet long by ten inches wide, and four or five inches deep. Within, on the sides of the box, are iron-toothed guides with a follower, designed to press the let? ters into a compact form. The letters are placed in the. box upon their edges, with iron labels separat ing the parcels for different offices, the fol? lower pushed up, the lid closed and locked, and the mail is ready to de? part. With this arrangement, no wrappers are used for tho parcels de? signed for different offices, and the mail can be closed within a few mi? nutes of the time for its departure from the office. The same advantage is obtained in the saving of tima in the distribution of a mail upon its arrival. The same mail that used to require an hour for its distribution is now in the post office boxes, or in tho hands of the carriers, within fifteen minutes alter its arrival. This invention, combined with thc disuse of wrappers, has saved to the Government the services of eight clerks in the St. Louis Post Office, besides an incalculable amount in wrapping paper and twine. But the great advantage gained is in the sav? ing of time to a whole community mailing letters when necessary within live minutes of the time of departure, and delivering them within a few minutes of the arrival of a large ami Thc Defender of the Constitution. No man was ever better entitled to be called the defender of the Consti? tution than President Johnson. No one ever stood in such a trying posi? tion, nor was the Constitution ever before exposed to such assaults as now. Few men could have withstood thc temptation ho has to centralize the Government, and to wield the extraordinary powers that an over? whelming dominant party woidd have placed in his hands. Had he been disposed to co-operate with this party in their unconstitutional measures, he might have become a perfect auto? crat. The opposition was insignifi? cant. Its voice would not have boen heard. The people were tired of agi? tation, and had become apathetic. Under this state of feeling-which was the natural re-action of years of political and war excitement-they forgot, in a measure, that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," and were disposed to let the authorities at Washington do what they pleased. The party which elected Mr. Johnson was overwhelming in Congress, and had ho gone with them and used them as he might have done, he could have usurped nearly all the re? served rights of tho Stites and peo? ple. He could have secured his no? mination in 1808, and have perpe? tuated his power. What a prize for an ambitious man! How few could resist grasping at it? But this patriot President, and truly great man could not be tempt? ed. Through a quarter of a century of public life, Andrew Johnson had stood immovably by the Constitution. He was always regarded, through this long period, as n watchful and faith? ful sentinel over that sacred instru? ment and the Treasury of the United States, and now, in thc plenitude ol his power, he will not abandon thc ground he has always stood upon. The oath of ofiiee which the Presi? dent of thc United States takes is re markable, and diff?rent from that which is taken by other office-holders. In article two, section one, of thc Constitution, it reads as follows: " 1 do solemnly swear that I will, to th? best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of thc United States." Other office-holder! tike an oath to support the Consti tution, but the President to preserve protect and defend it. This is hit solemn duty. Everybody knows tba each word of the Constitution wa well weighed by the framers, am that there is a profound meaning ii every one. What is meant by tait emphatic language of presei-viug protecting and defending the Consti tution V Who eau assault the Cou stitution or undermine it but th ! other branches of the Government and chiefly Congress ? Here we fiu< j the motive and reason for investinj the President with the veto powei He can defend the country agaiue foreign enemies or invaders by th army and navy. He can protect am preserve it by the same means fror, insurrection or resistance to the law> But to preserve, protect and defen the Constitution is another thing The enemies in this case would b factions political parties and organize tions, a corrupt judiciary, a nsurpin Congress, or some other evil bodif or persons among ourselves. He i sworn to be the preserver, protectc and defender of the Coustitutio against any of these. Who can say, then, that he is nc justified in vetoing the monstron unconstitutional Acts of the preset Congress? Ile would violate his oat .if he did not His vetoes come wit much force and have much moi reason in them, too, when we coi sider that the present Congress dot not represent the whole country That body forcibly excludes Statt in the Union from representatioi and, at the same time, passes lav for those that are not repr?sent?e Suppose two-fifths of the States wer by some chance, only represented i Congress; that, in times of troubl the members from the.se should sn ceed in getting possession of ti Capitol and perfecting their organ zation, and that they should take into their heads to exclude the otb three-fifths, what would be the coi sequence? Would not that, be in constitutionalV Would it not 1 revolutionary? Who, then, uml such a shite of things, should pr serve, protect and defend the ('oust tution against these usurpers but tl President? The principle is ll same whether two-fifths, having s cured tho Capitol and thc organiz tion of Congress, should exclude tl other three-fifths, or the majority States should exclude the minorit The constitutional right and princip is the same. Every one must se therefore, the condition we are in present by thc factious opposition I Congress to the restoration policy the President. He is patient in 1 labor and steady in his efforts bring the country back to harmoi without giving any shock to the m i clanery of the Government; butt j powerful faction in Congress co I tinues to obstruct his measures. St we have an abiding faith that he w remain firm amid all the assail upon himself and the Constitute j he has sworn to preserve, protect a: ? defend, lu due time the people w I understand the issue, and will ra j to sustain him, and posterity will ? j light to call him the defender of t I Constitution.^ New York Herald I . - Jefferson Thomikyyi T>TJ ty, Jxentucky, A/''1 ' ".' '.I'1:.'.'.'1' Letter from Beverly Tucker. The following is a letter from Be? verly Tucker, which has been sent to the editor of the Cosmopolitan: PARIS, March 12, 1866.-I have just read your ablo and eloquent leader upon President Johnson's in? terposition of the constitutional veto to the "Freedmen's Bureau bill" be? coming a law. You are right. The principles and spirit of this masterly Executive message commend them? selves to the endorsement of every patriot within, and every rational man without, the country. Private grievances, even though they have culminated in onerous and unjust exile, should be forgotten in admira? tion for the stupendous achievement that has crushed out, as it were, at one blow, the purposes of a wicked party, seeking politically to oppress, and personally to degrade, the white people of eleven sovereign States! The cud of bitter disappointment must be chewed by those who were the authors of the awful warfare of sections that has deluged a land with blood, and made the graves of a moiety of a vast empire, "heave but as some passing waves." They have sowed the whirlwind and they must reap the storm! i It is no less a Christian duty to forgive, than a patriotic eflbrt, at least, to forget individual wrongs, when opposed in the scale by the re? storation of the personal rights and political status of 8,000,000 of white people; and this official act of Presi? dent Johnson must be accepted as a happy harbinger of that better spirit which is, we hope, to inspire the future councils of the present Go? vernment at Washington. Thus much I deem it a grateful privilege to say, and I beg to join you in the anticipation of the good that must flow from this resolute and . timely check to the destructive spirit j of radicalism, which, unresisted, would ere long have sapped the very sources of human liberty in that dis? tracted country. For myself, albeit I must seek a home in some foreign land, and must yet live, perhaps forever, without the protecting segis of that grand old Commonwealth 1 love so well, I shall ever, as as a Virginian, look with filial and affectionate interest to all that touches the future honor and happiness of her noble people, aud shall cherish in my heart, in all its fullest force, the beautiful and solac? ing truth, "Ccdum nun anim um mutant qui trana mare cur runt. Faithfully yours, BEVERLY TUCKER. ^THE FREEDMEN.-The Evening Post, speaking of the freedmen, says: "We do not insist that they shall be taught at the expense of any Southern i State, but we do insist that they shall j be permitted to have schools; we do i not insist that they shall vote, but I the loyal part of the nation is fully I determined that they shall be pro I tected in their persons and property ; that they shall have the right not only to earn, but to recover their wages; that they shall be made safe against wrong and outrage of every kind; that they shall have the right of free speech, of peaceable assem? bling together, of petition." Does the Evening Post believe that thei*e is a single Southern State the people of which are disposed to deny to the freedmen any of the rights and privileges which the Post, in the paragraph we have cited, insists that they shall enjoy? We claim to be pretty accurately informed as to the sentiments and opinions of the Southern people, and we are perfectly sure that nineteen twentieths of them all are willing that the negroes shall have schools; that they shall be protected in their per? sons and property; that they shall have not only the right to earn, but to recover their wages; that they shall be made safe against wrong and outrage of every kind; and that they shall have freedom of speech and the right of petition. The people of the South are willing to concede and secure to the negroes the enjoyment of all these rights and privileges, and the Post knows, or ought to know it. But those with whom tho Post generally acts aro not content with that. They insist not only these rights shall be conferred upon tho blacks, but that they shall be taken away from the whites. Their plan is to enfranchise the blacks and disfranchise the whites, so that the negroes may become the dominant race in all of the Southern States. [New York Nc::::. Tuc NEW JERSEY SBNATORSHTP.

Somo interesting statements were made before a numerous and influen? tial meeting held, on the 14th ultimo, in the Common Hall, Liverpool, by Mi*. Cyrus W. Field, Mr. Canning, engineer, and Mr. Varley, electrician to the Atlantic Telegraph Company, and Captain Anderson, of the Great Eastern. Mr. Field first explained that it had been positively necessary to form tin; new company, (the Anglo American,) as the Attorney-General of England had decided against the legality ol' the issue hythe Atlantic Telegraph Company of twelve per cent, preference stock. The new company would supply all the money for the expedition of laying tho new cable this summer, and, when com? pleted, it would be delivered to the Atlantic Company, the agreement being that the Anglo-American should receive a certain amount per annum of future earnings, and hand over the balance to the original company. This was a fair and just arrangement, and the Atlantic shareholders would have certain preferential rights in the pur? chase of Anglo-American stock. Mr. Canning said that should any "faults" occur in the laying opera? tion they would, by improved ma? chinery, be able io repair them at a minute's notice. Capt. Anderson, who was heartily cheered, expressed his fullest confidence as to the success of the future operations. Mr. Varley was equally confident. The experi? ments of Professor Thompson, of Glasgow, showed that during the operation of laying, the cable was nearly three hours in falling to the bottom of the sea, and that after al? lowing for the greater slowness at? tending the operation of picking up, the amount of strain to which the cable would be exposed would be in? creased only by two cwt. above its own weight. The new cable which it was proposed to adopt (a sample was shown) would lift above eight tuns, and would bear a great, deal more twisting and handling than the old cable. It was intended to have thc picking-np machinery in future at the stern and not atibe bow. [Hear, hear, j Mr. Willoughby ?Smith had invent? ed a most delicate and perfect instru? ment for test int-; the insulation dur? ing the whole process of laying, splicing, etc. Mr. Varley did nol think that a revenue of ".Cl,OOO,(MX sterling per annum would be at ali an unreasonable anticipation, particu? larly as the Persian Gulf cable, with all its imperfections of management and its delays, yielded ?95, OOO a yeal*. The instruments to be used in con nection with the Atlantic cable would work eight times as rapidly as those employed on the Persian Gulf cable. Mr. Field further explained that tht Anglo-American Company had of ne cessity been so rapidly formed thal at present the directors were Londoi men, but that it was intended to unit? the interests of Liverpool, Manches ter, Glasgow, and other large eitie; on the board. The scheme was cos mopolitan, and the company wonk receive messages from all other tele graph companies and transmit then in the order of reception. With regard to capital, he statei that of the ?600,000 required, ?400, 000 was subscribed before., he lei' London, and that it was intended tx close the lists' foi Loudon on Mon day, and fOv the country on Tuesday Eight gentlemen connected with tin Telegraph Construction and Mainte nance Company had, at one sitting subscribed ?10,000 each. Mr. Val? ley illustrated, by experiments, th "splicing" process, and snbsequen insulation by gutta percha. He als? stated (in reply to questions) that tb electric condition of the submerge? cable was perfect, ami that the insu lation, owing to the depth and th' cold, was much greater than near th surface. Mr. Canning and Captaii Anderson expressed a confident belie that the old cable would be recovered If the Great Eastern could pick n] the "bight" it would be spliced, an< the operations of laying both cable would go on simultaneously. If not one of the smaller vessels would b detached to pick up. Mr. Rawlin called attention to the fact that thre or four miles of the last cable ha< actually been recovered. Votes o thanks to the gentlemen who ha< made the explanations were adopted According to a paper read befor the late meeting ot' the British Asso ciation, 8,000 workmen are employe* in Birmingham in the mannfactnr of arms. As far back as the war bc tween England and France, it wa the boast of Birmingham that it coul< produce a gun a minute. During th late American war, it exceeded fbi rate, turning out muskets at the rat of '2,0<l0 every day. For a couple 0 years, the American demand strainei all its exertions; but six months bc fore the war closed, the demand al most entirely ceased. From 1859 t 18G4, Birmingham supplied to th British Government3,000,000 of we:i pons, exclusive of 1,000,000 mor proved at the Government pro?l house.

The fall in prices makes cruel work for manufacturers and merchants, and operatives have to sutler. The silk mills are either 'shut down' or running with reduced force, or on short time, and are all losing money; some of those with large stocks are losing heavily."

This is an increase over tho receipts of 18G4 of 831,957 tons inwards, and 047,957 tons outwards. One of the greatest projects of the agc, in tlie way of engineering, is a marine railway around Niagara Falls. The company propose to construct caissons or docks, capable of floating the largest A-essel on the lakes. The grade to be overcome, in the distance of eight miles, is about 340 feet, and the Avhole cost about 87.000,000. Com in South-western Georgia is growing finely, and promises a large crop. There is not as much planted, however, as last year. The planters are willing to risk the chances of a cotton crop.
