-: In entering upon this discharge' Qf -the la

ofcontinued confidence which they have recent
ly given me, after s:x year servir e in the
most eventful and trying era of -our : history.
Id all candor, I beg leave to assure -you, that' 1
give utterance to the Sentimenls of my lieart
when I declare that I feel profoundly impressed
with the weight of responsibility which their
generous con fidencs has imposed upon me, in
this gloomy period of suffering and distress.
If to be called to preside over the affairsT of J
a great State irttmes of profound pgnce is an
hono'r-worthy the ambition of an enlightened
statesman, and carries: with It responsibilities
wh'ch our ablest and best men assume with
diffidence, how great is the obligation,- and
how vast the responsibility of him who is in
vited to the helm of State, amid the idarkaess
an 1 'gloom which fur round a pocple in the

State and the liberties of her inhabitants ' are
.threatened' by an unscrnpulous, vindictive and
powerful foe. ' - . ' -
fiut great as the respond bilities of the Ex-,

the legislative dep'artment are no lens! weighty..
Wi. bout assistance of your counsels, and the
aid of your calm and wise deliberation, I can
not expect to guide the ship of Stare, lashed

old S'ate; sustain our gallant-arnves in the

establish forever fmr Confederate Independ

bosoms are heaved by similar impulses, and
that you are prepared to immolate prejudice,

to take harmonious counsel together, to main

They rejected our peace offerings, dtnied
our right to govern ourselvesr spurnrd our
prosposiitions for aroicable adjustment, and
waged a cruel and unjust war upira us, which
they have prosecuted with unmittigated fury
and more than savage ferocity. Having
staked life; character, independence and the
liberties of ourselves and our posterity upon
the issue, we have thrown our proudY hrnner
tOjthe breeze, and appealed to the God of bat

who now contemplate our subjugation and

grpund left us. We must either exhibit- to
the world a new born power, in whose midst
isja temple of liberty, whose splendor ani

in darkness and chains, we must'sink to the
position of the most abject slaves. ' . "

Late Northern Ne ws. j
We are indebted o a friend fjr a' copy of
the New York Herald of 24th ult, which con
tains interesting, matter 'not quoted, by our
exchanges. We make the following extracts -
THE GOVERNMENT AND THE RELIEVED GEN
- ; ' ERALS, '
If the people are not satisfied with the exer
cise that the gorernment has made of its pre
rogative in the removal" of frererals.' it can
hardly be because they.have not" seen enough
of it. Remarkable enough in other respects,
the list of generals who , have been ''relieved"
from positions, of which they were not in all
cafses weary, has become somewhat remarkable
.in respect to its size. v ,
. General Fremont was "relieved" very iarly
- in the war, but not too eary. Though it does
not appear that he was tired of the position
he held. we must consider that the, word "re
lieved" is a correct "one in his case, inasmuch
as we onght always to assume that every posi
tion must be painful to a man who is utterly
and completely unfit to occupy it. Bat Fre
mont's removal was less a positive act than
the recantation of an error. .-No greater . char
latan than this man ever lived, and, like other
charlatans, he was famed to be a great genius.
Upon that fame he was over hastily: given a
position, which proved him to be a very cora-
raon place personRge so the -President, utu-red
his official peccavi, aud down went Fremput.
Hstory vill excuse his existence, on account
of the magnificent jolce that the Pres'rdent- was
enabled to perpetrate in . his appointment to
4he "Mountain Department. ;
Fremont was succeeded byHunter. ; Hunter
has been relieved? twice sineq then. I He be-'
lieved in the nigger: but ereu that could not
tave htm. He issued proclamations, and it is
probable that he drew his pay regularly : but
if he ever did any more than this we nover
heerd "f it. i
Fro n the Army of the Potomac McDowell
was first "relieved"' and we-forget how many '
times, he has been relieved since". ! He was ,
known in the old army by a nickname tht
did not suggest the preppnderaTice of his brains.
Perhaps that name was a true one; but, if
General McDowell hasv the ordinary pmpo ,
tion of brains, he is one vt the: m?st unlucky
.men that the world orr saw. General Mc
Clellan has been virtually relieved twice once
in the regular way, and once by" the addition
of his armj to another army -with hardly a
polite.reference to his existence. General Pope
succeeded to the. command of that army in oue.
instance, and General Barnside ii fie other.
Both of these geuerals have since been reHeved
1 suffering a common fate though they were
remarkable contrasts each to the other. Burn
side, bold and, Urge hearted, with a kind of
mental breadth of shoulders that gave great-'
ness to. many of his acts, reso'ute even in his
errors Popef vainglorious, boastful and empty.
Fitz John Porter was relieved from ! the corri
, mand of a corps in that army on very rernark
ablecharges If not guilty of them he ought
not to have been removed. If guilty he ought
to havebeen sht. General Hooker has been
relieved from the comrrland of the same army.
At the battle of Chancellorsville he had some
difficulty with a pest, as to the result of which
authorities db not agree. Some declare that
the post knocked down . General Hooker, and
others maintain that-General Hooker knocked
down the post; JiVe suppose the men at Wash
ington had some, positi ve information or op;u-
iois on this- point; so Uuanceliorsville was
t Hooker's last battle.
"Contraband" Butler'has been relieved, and
we fancy he rather likes it' Buell", a soldier of
J unquestioned ability, has suffered ! the same
K i" r ii. 1 T"
"process, ana nnauy. uenerai iwisecrans is ono.
With much very poor timber inlthis list of
the more prominent men removed, the country -and
the world at large will acknowledge that
there is also much military ability. Gaine',
Mill, Malvern Hills, South Mountain, Anti-
etan, Murfreesborp ar)d Corinth are but a few
of the battles that will answer for the abilitlas
of the men named in it. Yet in all these remo
vals the government has gives its; reasons,
has stated its case, in only one instance.' In
the case of Fitz John Porter the government
gave reasons elaborately," aud the country he
livos to-day that Gen. Pi rter was not justly
removed. - . - ' . .
Hew-many pi ausitile "reasons the govern
ment miht give, for many more of thess re
movals we cannbt'say. Buc we know that
the government itself has Hundred fearfully
at every step of the way.. We know that it
ly its disposition to meddle-with detail that
should have been left to others. I We know
that if the war had been left lo the generals in
the field the rebellion would have been pounded'
to i ieces a year aoo. Besides all this wo
know that it is jlhe tradition of all governments
that disasters must have victims8. - All coun
tries require that some one should b r??ponsi
bel. -Shall the-gc.vernment be responsible fr
its own awful blunders ? .Th it might' do very
well in. Utopia. Such a government may ex
ist in the " Fortunate Isles" of Diodorus, or in
the 'Atlantis of Plato ; tut we suspect that in i
all those material countries that we find in the
geographries, and especially in this country,
no govarnment will be fjund' to bear the re
sponsibility of its blunders, when it can so
kmuch mora easily sacrifice a general, and need
not give its reasons. J ; .
- But meanwhile the people look on quietly.
They form their .own opinions, and every now
and then 'comes their timo to perform official
acts. Let the government look weir to its own
record in these matters or we shall Icsr n son.e
dav before a sreat while that the people hav9
relieved the adaiinsfiation, and hare found
a new conman lerin chief for the armies and
navies of the United States. j
THE REBEL PROJECT CP A EUBOPEAH CvJAU-
i TION AGAINST THE UNITED STATES
Our London csrrespondent, in anrther let
ter on the printed European movement for
the lHJiufit(f Jtff. Slavis, says that the
French Empcior is determined to fight j' Jthat
" he has already sent;ixty thousand soldiers
to Alexko, and is quietly embarking and send
ing1 off more soldiers more cannon and more
army supplies every week fthaf he contem
'plates material, aid to Davis to the extent pf an
army oftene hundred and fiftv thousand men
in Texas and a fleet.of iron-clad inthe Gulf ;
that this coalition will probably , involve the
dictation of a Southern confederacy by Louis
Napoleon, embracing Maryland, the - District
of Cokmbia,ke city of Washington, West-
v irsima. Kentucky and 31;&mri ; and that
the eqirivaleht from the other s'de will be the
" reaD riexatiou of r rance to .Louisiana, in
cluding the oritlefs of the Mississippi, and the
great State of Tex aV - '
We ace earnestly assured by our correspond
ent in th premises fliat all this Is "down oh
the boolca of the French Emperor," thit "it is
as jinevitably true aS that id fun will rise to-'
morrow;" and, to impress. the matter upon us,
he further says to u.s'woO be to your govern
mentand people if they turn adeaf ear to the
warning arid lull themselves into a seusi of
false security." We must be prepared to see
a French army in Texas and LonisiAna, and
to give up all the South or prepare to fight it
out. ' : K"'";; . - ' ' .-
Here, it will be remarked, Louis Napo'ean
figures as the exclusive master of these : cere
monies. But Austria and Prince Maximilian
and the Mexican crosn are behind him, and
the Pope and his Church, and Spain and Caba,
and, lastly the inevitable Johii Bull, with his :
deceitful neuirahtv. ; fi he Czar has put .bis ;
foot down, and; France and England have
backed out from Poland. That question may
be considered se'ttlekl". Austria has been hum
bugged ; Prussia aud the smaller German
States are preoccupied 'with- their own internal
affairs; the Continent, therefore, may be left to
take careof itself for some time, while Napo
leon, and Palmerston. are ' working out the it
American designs. Neutrality, too, will serve
the purposes of England .in this business of an
active alliance betwa.ii FrenCe and Jeff. Davis
better than any other course. England, un
der this arrangement,' instead or endangering
her' commerce, will secure the monopoly of the
Carrying ' trade between the United Stat' s and
Europe" arid in the eve n't -of. a Southern con
federacy will d jubtless be an equal participant
in its concessions of free trade to Napoleon.
But,; above all , other considerations, England,
in the establishment of a Southern canfedera
cy. will secure the destruction o.f her raon dan
gerous n ival and commercial rival, and de.tl a ;
blow to p' pu!ar liberty, popular rights" and
pdpular iiistitiitiuns, which may save the feu-
dal aristocracy Great Bri tian an thecon-

as the head of a hereditary dynasty His in-;
terests .and his policy,' as against 'popu.arJ

of the English aristocracy and the monarchies

The glory of Frauce is. the flittering mtragoi
which has rendered her people apparently as!
passive in the hands of the present Napo:eoa'
ai under the first or Ixiuis XLV. But the fid
dler who with his fiddle, fell into a pit and
, found himself in the co npariy of a bear, and'
who had to keep ' fiddling to keep the betir
dancing, !.wa3 rot in a more pevi'ous situitiorj
than Nap-dpon the Third. Hence his war
with Russia his war'wiihlVustrLi, hiscxpedi-?
tion to Syria, his war with Chin and Cochin
China and his war widi' Mexico. In 'all' these
things he has been, and still continues, fiddling
po that grim aud grizz'y bear of French deinoc
Tiicy which otherwise might spring upon and
devour him. The, inons'er gives him no rest, 1
.but, constantly watching -him.-still cries for
'more. In the case of an ambitious and daring
monarch thus situated- who knows his danei
and his safety, there can be no limit assigned
to his foreign projects of .aggrand ze -rient -and
glory. Thus Napoleon, entangled as he now
is iff his Mexican imbroglio, becomes the fitting
