The President's Message. wL?w67c?, December 31.-?The Freckle)at tent In hi* innwl Message to the Senate yesterday, determining to waft oolongpr or the organization of the Houm. The Collowing is a synopsis of the document: ? The President says, #Liie amicable relatione exist with all nations, with some grave ^ questions are pending in* regard to Central ' America. He says it Was the undoubted understanding of the United States that the convention with Great Britain would secure the permanent peace and independence of these States^ and no dominion was hereafter to be exercised by the United States or 'Great Britain; but the latter still asserts authority over the Musquito coast and construes the convention so as to maintain her present control. It is impossible for the Uqited States to acquiesce in this construction ; although the United States and Great Britain maintain conciliatory correspondence on this subject, the difficulty cannot long remain undetermined without involving in se? rious danger the friendly relations which it is the interest, as well as the duty of both countries to cherish and preserve. lie eutertains doubts as to the final termination.? He treats at length on the violation of our neutrality laws in recruiting the foreign legion. He says some'officers implicated aro . of high official position and beyond legal juyiCjl ir?t lAh in hlio AAlint... J * 1 I ,^..wnvii in %a110 v^'uun y, nuu ciiwrt'U IOC business with full knowledge of our laws and international policy. The subject is still under discussion by the two Governments. Misunderstanding also exists between the Hudson's Bay and Puget's sound agricultural companies, as to the possessory right of land on Puget's Sound. He asks the attention of Congress to the subject of the Sound dues which is unsettled. The United States declines to participate in the Convention called by Denmark, for the reason that the proposition of Denmark for a settlement, is commingled and made subordinate to matters wholly extraneous to that subject; but he is willing to share libcrallv with other powers in compensating Denmark for any advantages thus accruiug to our commerce. Satisfaction lias not yet been made by Spain for the arrest and search for the steamer "El Dorado, but he believes it will soon be. He hopes to make some general arrange- < niont with that government to avoid such acts in futurel ' In regard to the army, ho advocates the i institution of a retired list and its partial re- ( organization, lie recommends (hat the Staff* \ be mainly composed of details from our line. , lie urges a gradual increase of the Navy, but , eavs nothing in regard to the action of the late retiring bonrd. ] He advocates the abolitionof the franking ~ privilege, or sotuo modification of the exist- , ing postage rates. He recommends tho t Postmaster General's Report to the consider- , ation of Congress. ] About Kansas he says but little ; no acts had been perpetrated prejudicial to good order and none justifying the interposition of | the Executive. He cherishes the hope that ( the good sense of the people of that Territory will prevent any violation ofTerritorial or 1 Federal Jaw. The unhappy situation of Mexico claims ! some forbearance on the part of this Govern- ' ment; but if the present be a stable Govern- ' ment, urgent appeals to justice should then be made for the redress of the complaints of 1 our citizens. the distracted condiiion of Nicaragua, ( made it iucumbent on the President to ap- ^ peal to the citizens of the United States to abstain from unlawful intervention in its .af- 1 fairs, aud to adopt preventive measures. Since the last Congress the following trca- J ties have been negotiated : Commerce, Navigation and the surrender of criminals, with 1 the two Sicilies; Friendship, Commerce and 1 Navigation with Nicaragua, and commercial 1 reciprocity with Hawaii. 1 The receipts of the Treasury hist year were I* 65.000,000 ; expenditures 50,^65,000 ; bid 1 auce in the Treasury, 18,900.000. The ' President is fully persuaded that it would be 1 difficult to devise any superior system of fis- I cal business than is now in operation. The magnitude of the public revenue af-. < fords gratifying evidence of tho prosperity of > our commerce, nnd suggests the propriety of | an eaily revision and reduction of the duties on imports, and a readjustment of the impost schedules. lie speaks at great length on the constitutionnl relations of slavery?says it has been 'j a matter of painfu! regret, lO see States conspicuous for their services in founding the Republic, and equally sharing its advantages, , disregard their constitutional obligations, nl- ^ though conscious of their inability to heal admitted, palpable social evils of their own, and which are completely within their jurisdiction, they engage in the offensive and ? hopeless undertaking of reforming domestic * institutions in other States, wholly beyond ' fcbeir control and authority; while the people 1 of the Southern States confine their attention ' to own affair.', not presuming officious- 1 ly to intermeddle with the social institutions 1 of the Northern States, too many inhabitants of the jatter are permanently organized in associations to iqrtict injury on the former "* by wrongful -nets, which would be the cause of war as between foreign powers, and only f*il to be such in oufimtt?m. hwsnw nfriw. tinted under cover of the Union. K I He give* a historical review of slavery, and the laws of Congress on the subject, and deprecates sectional agitation and unconstitutional projects to disturb the public peace and tranquility, lie denounces the fanaticism of abotHionisis, whose conduct, if |fersev?red in, will end- calamitously, lie says: if passionate rage, /annticisiu and p 0+ I tisnn spirit did not force the face opon our attention, it would be difficult to believe that I hay considerable portion of the people of this eouutrv could hare so surrendered themselves to fanalieal devotion to the supposed interests of the relatively few Africans in the United tales, ft* totally to abaudon and disregard interests of 25,000,f)00 of Amer)vans, | ;o tmmple under foot fojunctfen?, moral - " ? \ I i*. + j | and constitutional obligations, and engage in plana of vindi&ve hostility against those who are associated with them in the enjoyment of the common heritage of oar national institutions. Are patriotic men in. any part of the Union prepared thoa madly to iuvits all theooosequences of the forfeiture of their constitutional ongsgemente t The storm of phrensy and faction must inevitably dash itself in vain against the unshaken rock of the Constitution. I rely ooHdently on the patriotism of the people, on the dignity and self-respect of the States, on the wisdom of Congress, And above all, on the oontinued and gracious favor of Almighty Cod, to maintain against all enemies, the sauclity of the Constitution and the integrity of the Union.

TIIOS. J. PRICE. TO OUR READERS. From the above notice it will be seen that we arc onoe more the printer of our own paper.? During the year, which has just closed, we have had but little to do with the mechanical department of our office, and wc might say, have done but little towards the entertainment of our readers. Concerning our arrangements for the new year wc would state that in cousequcncc of several little improvements we contemplate making upon our paper, office, <fcc., it will bo some four nr.five weeks before we get regularly to work.? Wc think that our new office will be finished by the middle of February next, when we trust to make the Enttrjyritr a paper worthy the patrontge of the public. So far, we have redeemed the few promises that were made to our readers, ind if they continue their patronage wo will bo enabled to redeem our promises for the future.? < Wc have no complaint to make-?our patronage lias been as large as could have been expected, md our patrons as punctual as those of any journal. Commencing as we did without a single subscriber, in a village already supplied with two largo and well conducted sheets, it could not t>o otherwise than slow work at the beginning.? We have lived to sec many of the objections, which wero first urged against the Enterpri$e banished, as well as some of the obstructions in the rood to its success removed, and but little now remains to set it upon a snro and firm basis. All we desire is a little more experience?a few nore days upon our head in order to bo fully dentified with the voting population of our State imf District. This accomplished, wo will then eel authorized in expressing fully our opinions lpon matters wo have heretofore refrained from ouchingin consequence of lacking the above re[uiremcnts. In beginning the year 1856; we would cordialy wish the patrons of our paper (as well as the eadcrs of all papers,) a happy and prosperous eason. Slay the success which lias attended heir honest labors during the year just closed, >c not diminished in the one before them. Hut n the midst of their prosperity they should renember tlint there are duties to perform and sac ificcs to make. There nrfc kind offices to bestow md good to be accomplished. Who will lay daim to the great distyietion of having Alleviated the condition of tho suffering?inado the lieart of tlio needy rejoice with thanksgiving and sraisef Who will enter the portals of the new fear with the determination to .be a better man ?to render those around him happier nnd more sontentcd! These aro questions requiring our icrious consideration, and to be answered only by serforuiing the lessons they tench. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. In order to publish a synopsis of ihc'I'resident's Message we have delayed our paper for a few lours. It will be seen from the Congressional ' lcHpatchca that it was delivered l>efore tho House A OS organized. That body is still unorganized. We arc indebted to tlie Carolina Time* for the atcst intelligence. SCHOOL NOTICES. It will l?e seen by reference to our advertising lolimins that Mr. J. F. Shaw pro[>oses to open a Hate School in onr village. Mr. Shaw comes Highly recommended ae a gentleman of character and literary attainments. We doubt not that labors erooj-get ?s wiH be rewarded by a liberal and fruitful patronage. We have neglected until the present to call attention to the card of Miss Kkdkchv, who proposes t? commence a school for Young Iodic*. She has long been a teacher, and her service* will supply a want which is largely felt at the present, especially as regards the instruction of little girls, of which class there is a great proportion in our village.

Wa would direct attention of the advertisement of this company. The importance of having one's property, and even his life insured is acknowledged by all to be so great that a moment's delay, displays an ineensibil| ity to interest equalled only by ttyfe grossest neglect. It likewise shows a lack of forethought?the want of which the devouring flame or the band of death can alone make plain and palpable. Insure yourselves at once. To-morrow may be too la'e. The agent at this place will furnish yon all the desired information. For your own good we refer you to him for immediate consultation. THE NEWSPAPER WORLD. The Examiner.?This r>ar?er has mado ita appearance, and more than fulfils the promises of its editor. It is indeod a handsome beet, and filled with the choicest reading. We hope to receive it regularly, as we have determined to file it away' for the purpose of binding. Mr. Johnson?its editor?has has our sincere wishes for his success?the Examiner is worthy of support. The Neto York Dutchman.?We haro taken the occasion heretofore to notice this journal. Although a native American we are somew hat fond of the Dutchman, and welcomo its visits to our officef-its non-appearance elicits as much surprise as its reception is fraught with pleasure. So Mister Dutchman send yourself along with more certainty hereafter, or will take occasion to pitch into you for your neglect. The Literary Star.?Messrs. Bowden <fe Bkocoiiton, have issued the first number of this paper at Spartanburg village. The number before is evinces taste and ability on the part of its editor. It is a neatly printed sheet, and is furnished at $1.50 per annum. w.otylks r-sq., proposes to puoiisu a new paper at Edgefield C.

But unfortunately for society we now and then And a man made ofsuch gross material and cheap stuff", and so utterly destitute cf principle that he cannot for the life of him hold bis slanderous tongue. A large portion of the web of his daily conversation is composed of falsehood, and truth is forgotten. , These remark* are made In reference to certain false and malicious reports which have been put in circulation against mo as a Candidate for the Sheriff's office. It is rumored by a certain source that I have withdrawn from the canvass, and that Col. Hokb and myself have been running in a kind of copartnership. I emphatically pronounce these reports to be fa lee and malicious. I am still a candidate for your suffrages, and intend to ruu the race through?and I repudi* ate the charge that there is any combination between ine and Col. Uokb or any other man. I run on my own responsibility alone, and hopo my conduct merits the good feel* ing of the voters. Wm.

College, Columbia, Dec. 31st, 1805. Dear Price:?The old year is passing fcway. A few more chimes of tho bell, and its hours will be numbered. Its seasons are gone?gone the blooming flowers of Spring ?the genial sun of Summer?the kindly fruits of Autumn and pleasant evenings of Winter. We are sow standing on the oarrow isthmus which divides the past from the future, and will at present cast no glances behind us?recall not the clouds and tempests that darkened?or the sunshine that illumined the path we trod for twelve long months. But we greet you, wishing a happy New Year 1 Christmas, with its pleasures has gone? like a dream it vanished away. Without, it was a cold and gloomy day ; but in doors, warm hearts and bright faces Wu^omc' *be advent of that time, whereon Cur.d was born and which has been celebrated with thanksgiving and festivity from the earliest period of the Christian church. Your correspondent spent a very pleasant morning, giving and receiving presents?though it uiuifc ira uuiiiesscu, no g??e uiuro wnu ue received?as is generally the case wim young gentlemen who have a largo number of lady friends. Numberless turkies wore eaten? and an unlimited quantity of egg-nog consumed by those fond of good things?while 44 Young Columbia " manifested its joy by firing crackers?burning rockets and stuffing car.dy. And here permit us to state that our failure to write on Christmas ere was not caused as a certain friond maliciously informed yon, by a free indulgence in "E-N," but by our attending a party, where the hours passed so rnpklly that the clock struck twelve before we expected it to proclaim ten. So you must excuse us for neglecting the Kntcrpriit last week. For more than a week it has been mining almost steadily and the Congaree river h?s risen several feet. If the rains extend up to the Distriets above us, wo look for a freshet in our river.

Our supply is lira ited?buildings can burn down for want of water?and yet the sapient Legislators of South Carolina refuse to grant the npproprition solicited by our City Council to sad them in the construction of new water-works, notwithstanding that water to the value of $250,000 is furnished to the Public buildings free of all charge?erery year. It seems as if Rail-Road accidents on the Greenville and Charlotte Kail Roads were bocoming of weekly occurrence. Chi Thursday last, the Greenville train ran o(T near Columbia, fortunately without injuring any one, dut delaying its arrival at Greenville.? Last Saturday afternoon, the up-train (passenger) on the Charlotte Road ran off" the track a short distance pu this side, from the Catawbafiver.

We have recently been interrogated as to the opinion of the students in regard to the recent election of President. From all that we can learn(and we have the very best meaqs of ascertaining) an overwhelming majority of the students are disappointed?dissatisfied ?and discontented with the action of the Trustees.

The party left Fort Myers in the morning of the 7th instant, and up to the time of attack were engaged making a reexamination of that portion of the Big Cypress Swampexamined by the troops last winter. Three men of the command arrived at Fort Myers on the night of the 21st; it is supposed that Lieut IIabtsuff and the remainder of his party have been killed. Most of the public animals with the expedition, some eighteen in number, were also shot down. Lieut. Hart soff, when last seen had one arm broken, and is supposed to have *>een wounded in his sine. Private Hanna, of Company G. 2d Artillery one of the party, who escaped, brought the above information to Fort Myers. IIanna was wounded in the abdomen, not seriously it is thought; he left another of the party, private Baker, also wounded, about 16 miles from Fort Myers. Baker gave out at that point and could come no father. The Indians making the attack were some twentyfive or thirty in number. Two companies of the 2d Artillery, wore to leave Fort Myers on the morning ot tlio 22d inst, in search of Lieut Fabtsukf and the missing members of his party. Other movements of the troops in the direction of the battle {ground, were ordered immediately on the receipt of the information concerning tho attack. , The, above information embraces every thing known, officially, concerning the attack, up'to tho departure of the Ranger, and is respectfully furnished for the information of the public.
