On the 7th of this month Abraham Lin ' coin sent tho following message to the House of Representatives of the Yankee Congress: Fellow Citizen of the Senate and House of Rep reMntativta ; I recommend the adoption ot -a joint - refolulion by your Jionorablo 'bodies which eball NbAtobsta&tiallv as follows: ..." . Reaolrtdi That tho United States ought to co operate with any Slate which may adopt gradual abolishment of slavery, giving to such State pe cuniary aid to be ojed by such Stale in its dLjcre- tion, to compensate fc-r the inconvenience, ..pub lic and private, produce py sua cnangaor sys tem, . " ' . - - It the proposition contain J in the resolu tion does not meet the approval of Congress and the country, thera Is the end ; but if it does com mand such approval, J deem it of importance that the State and people immediately interested shodld be at once distinctly notified of the fact, so that' they mar begin to consider wbetber to accept or reject it. The Federal Government would &ud its highest interest in such a measure, as .ona of the most efficient means of self preservation. The leaders of the existing insurrection entertain the hore that this government will be forced to ac knowledge' the independence of some part of "the ii2ffMtd region, and that all the slave' States North, of such part will Jt hen say the XTaion fori wucn we nave strnggiea ce.ng Kireaay gone, we now choose to go with the Southern section'. . v To deprive them of this hope substantially ends the rebellion, and the Initiation of emancipation completely deprives them of it as to all the States initiating it. The point is not that nil the States tolerating slavery would very soon, if at all, ini tiate emancipation ; out that wciie the -oner is 'equally made to all, the more Northern shall, by ruoh initiation, make it certain to more Southern that, in noe7ent, wHl the lorrner ever join the . . k i y r -' T . 'i&tter in utr prvptsca vaieueracy. x say ini tiation, became, in my judgment, gradual and not sudden emarcipation is better for all. ' In the mere financial or pecuniaty view, any member ofCocgrefs, with the census tables and, treasury reports before him, can readily, see for himself how very soon the current expenditure of this war would purchase, at fair valuation, all r the slaves In any named btate. : ' i Buch a prcpocition on . the part pf the General Government sets up no claim ot a right by Feder al authority, to interfere with slavery 'within State limits, referring) as it does, the absolute control of , the subject in each case to the state and its people immediately interested. It is proposed as a- mat ter of perfectly free choice with them. . In the an nual mesfae, last December, I thought fit to say : The Union must bo preserved, and hence all in ' dwpenMble'meana must be employed. I said this not hastry, but deliberately, .War has been made and continues to be an indispensable means to this end. practical-re-acknowledgment of the na . tlonal authority would render the war unnecessa ry, and it would at once cease. '. If, however, resistance continues, the war must also continue, and it is impossible te fjrseeeall the Incidents which may attend', . and all ' the ruin which may follow it. Such as rosy seem indis pensable, or may obviously promise great effi ciency towards endirg the struggle, must and wilj come. The proposition now made is an effar on ly.. I hope it may bo esteemed no e-ffenc to ask. whether the pecuniary consideration tendered ' woukl not be of more value to the States ana pri ' rate persons concerned, thAn are the institution and property in it, in the present aipect of affairs While it Is true that the adoption of the proposed . resolution would be. merely initiatory, ; and not within itself a practical measure, it is recommend ed In the tope that it would soon lead to impor tant practical results. In full view of great res pontibility to my God and to my country, I ear nestly btg the attention of Congress and the peo ple to the subject. . (Signed,) . ' Abrjhia.m Lincoln.

This braye and distinguished officer who, during this war, hfs passed unscathed through two of the bloodiest and most hotlyj contest ed battles ever fought 'on this continent, ar rived It bis city on - Saturday morning last, and stopped at the Yarborough House. In the afternoon of Saturday, a large number of' our citizens being exceedingly anxious to ace, and$ hear the. distinguished gentleman speak, assembled in front of he Court House and appointed a Committee, fconsistiog of the Mayor and two or three other citizens, to wait npon General P. and request him to ad dress them, with which .reqftast th,e gallant officer very obligingly Wmpjied. v Upon be ing conducted to the Court lJousetie Court room was in a few minutes crowded to its ut most capacity by a large and intelligent au dience..; Gen P. was iqtrodjiced .by '.Mayor Iloot, and arose and: addressed the audienoe for about an hour, in one of the most inter estine speeches to which" we: have ever Ls- tened.

This inferma tion instantly changed the aspect of affairs. A consultation of the chief offipers, consist ing of Gens.' Ffoyd, Pillow and Buchner, wai beld to decide what should be done. Gen. P. proposed that they; should again attempt to out their way oat, and that as! they forced a passage, they should go on, leaving their dead and wounded on the battlefield. Gen. Buchner replied to' this proposition that the men were completely exhausted, that they had been Without restr shelter,! in the rain, snow and sleet for five divs ana nights, and without food, with the exception of raw bee -that it would cost tbeljves of tnree-lourtfc of heiri present numoers to cut their way out, and that no oflioer had a right to sacrifice three-fourtha of an a'my to save obe-fourth Gen.

It was agreed that tho prisoners of . war in the hands of each goverme a t should be exchanged, man for man, the officers being assimilated a to rank, &c ; that our privaleetsmen should be. ex changed on the footing of prisoners of war; that any surplus remaining on either side,- af.er these exchanges, shoufd be released, and that beroafter, during the whole continuance of the war; prison ers taken on either .side should be . paroled.
