II n this war rapine is the rule, and private residences, hi peaceful and rural retreats, are bombarded and burnt ; grain Crops in tho nejd arc consumed by the) torch, and when the torch is not convenient, careful Jabor is bestow ed to render complete the destruc tion of every article of use or orna ment remaining in private dwell ings after I their inhabitants have fled fromj the outrages of tho bru tal soldiery ' In 1781, Great Brit ain, when invading her rivolted Colonies, took possession of every district c-f country near ' Fortress Monroe I now occupied by the troops off the United States, and the houses then inhabited by the people, after being respected and protcctod by avowed invaders, are now pillaged and destroyed by men who pretend that the victims are their feUow Citizens. Mankind will shudder to. hear the tales Of outrages 'committed on defenceless females by the soldiers of the Uni ted j"tates, now invading our homes; yet these outrages are prompted by inflamed passions and madness of intoxication ; but who shall depict the liorrbr with which they regard the pool 'and deliberate malignity with which, under the pretext of suppressing insurrection, said, by. themselves, to be upheld by a mi norikv onl vof our neonlfe. mak-A aq. r1 w4r on the sick, including p1 and children, and, by care- 1 - . v -1- -7 - -1-- ueyiseu measures, nrovorit 1 a their obtaining the medicines nec essary for their cure The sacred claims or humanity, 'respected du-J ring the jury oJLactual battle, by a careful dj versioWof a ttaek from the hospifalSiContairp' : ivodnded ene mies, arci outrage j cold blood by a Government ano! people that pre tend to desiro a continuance of fra t.crna.1 connections.

I had made application for an exchange of these prisoners to the comman- ding officer of the enemies' equad-i ron off Charleston, but that officer had already sent the prisoners to New York when the application was made. - I, therefore, deemed it my 'duty to renew the proposal for an exchange io the constitution al Commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy, of the United States, tho only officer having. control of the prisoners. In making the pro posal,,, informed Prosident Lincoln of my reaoluto purpose to check all barbarities on prisoners of war by such severity and retaliation on prisoners held by us as should se cure the abandonment of the prac tice. This communication was receiv ed and read by the officer in com mand of the United States Army, and a message was brought from him by the bearer of my communi cation to the effect that a reply would be returned by President Lincoln as soon as possible. I ear nestly hope that this promised re ply, which has not yet been " re ceived, will convey the assurance that prisoners of war will be trea ted, in this unhappy contest, with that regard to humanity which has been so conspicuous in .modern warfare. As a measure of precau tion, however, and until the prom ised reply is received, I still retain in - Glo&eoii&iody the men au4 offi cers captured from the enemy, whom it bad beenmy pleasure pre viously to enlarge on parole, and whose fate must necessarily depend on that of the prisoners held by tha enemy. I append a copy of ,my communication td the Presi dent and Commander-in-chict of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the report of the offi- t . it . 1 cor charged to deliver it, marKeu Document. There are some other passages in the remarkable paper to which I have directed your attention, hav ing reference to the peculiar rela tions which exist between this Gov ernment and tfie States usually - termed Border Slave States, which cannot properly be withheld from notice. Tho hearts of our people are animated by sentiments to wards the inhabitants of those States which found expression in your en actment refusing to consider them enemiesj cr to authorize hostilities against., them. That a very large portion of the people of these States regard us as brethren; that if un restrained by the actual presence of large armies, the. subversion of civil authority, and the declaration of martial law, some of them at least would joyfully unite with us; that they are, with almost entire unanimity, opposed to theprosecu-. tion ot the war waged against us are facts, of which- daily occurring events fully warrant the - asser tion. The present United States Gov ernment refuses to recognize in these, our late sister States, tho right of refraining irom an attack on ustand justifies his refusal by the assertion that the States have no other power5hn- that reserved to them by the Union and the Con- stitutioo, no ono of 'thorn' having ever been a State out of the Union. This v.icw of the Constitutional re lations leais iis to consider another assertion of the message; that the Executive possesses the power of suspending the writ of habeas cor pus, and of delegating that power to military commanders at his dis cretion, and both these -propositions claim a respect equal to that which is felt for the additional state ment of opinion iu tho .arae.papfi8r, that it is proper, in order to exe cute tho laws, that somesingle law, made in such extreme tenderness of the citizen's liberty that practi cal 1- it relieves in ore of the guilty than the innocent, should, tora very limited extent, be violated. We may well rejoice that we have for ever severed our connection with a Government that, thus tramples on all the principles of. Constitutional liberty, and with a people in whose presenco each nvnwnli nntiM ; hfll hazarded. ; .
