In the production, of pro visions, grains, grasses, and all which proceed from them, this great interior region is naturally one of the most important in the world. Ascer­tain from the statistics the femall proportion of the region Which has as yet been brought into, cultivation, and also the large and rapidly in­creasing amount of ite products, and We aliall1

be overwhelmed with the magnitude! of the prospect presented; and yet this region has no •ea-coast, touches no ocean anywhere. Aapart of one nation, its people now find, and may for­ever find, their way to Europe by New York, to South America and Africa by New Orleans, and to Asia by San Francisco. But separate our common country into two nations, as designed by the present rebellion, and ever}' man Of this

There are, moreover, m a n y cases in which the United States or their citi­zens suffer wrongs from the naval or military authorities of foreign nations, which the Gov-? eminent of these States is not at-once prepared to I edress. I have proposed to some of the for­eign States thus interested, mutual conventions to examine and' adjust such complaints. This proposition has been made especially to Great Britain, to France, to Spain, and to Prussia. In each case, it has been kindly received, but has not yet. been formally adopted. . ;

Applications have, been made-to me by many free Americana of African descent to favor their emigration, with a view to such colonization *as was contemplated in] recent sets o f Congress.*-Other parties, at home and Abroad, some from interested motives, otters upon patriotic consid­erations, and still others influenced by philan­thropic sentiments, have suggested similar meas­ures ; while, o n the other hand, several of the Spanish American, Republics have protested against sending o f such colonies to their respec­tive territories. Under these circumstances I have deelineaHo move any such, colony .to any-State without first obtaining the conserifoi i ts Government, with an agreement on its part to receive and protect such emigrants in all' their rights of freemen, and I have at the same time effered to the the several States situated in the tropics, or havTiSfiCoIomea there, to negotiate with them, subj#t to the advice and consent of the Senate, to favor the voluntary emigration of persons of that elasfio'their .respective territo­ries upon conditions Which shall be equal, just, and humane. l 4her iaandHayt iare asye t the only countriesltc; ^hichiColonistsof African de­scent from herfe eonraga with certainty of being received and adopted as citizens, and I regret to say that such persona contemplating coloniza­tion do not seem so willing to emigrate to those countries as to some others, nor so willing as I think their interest demands. I believe, howev­er, the opinion among them in this respect is improving, and that ere long there wi l l be an augmented and considerable emigration t o both these countries from the United States.

The new commercial treat? between the Uni­ted States and the Sultan of Turkey has been carried into execution. A commercial and con*. sular treaty has beennegotiated, subject to the Senate's consent,, with Liberia, andasimilar ne-

I submit for your especial consideration whether our Indian system Shall not be remod­eled. Many wise and good mea.l»avc been im­pressed with the belief that this can profitably be done.

I submit a statement of the proceedings of the Commissioners, which shows the progress that has been made in the enterprise of con^ I structiog the Pacific Railroad, and this suggests" the earliest completion, of the road, and also the favorable action of Congress upon the proj­ects now pending before them for enlarging the capacities of the great canals ,in New York and Illinois, as being of vital and rapidry increasing importance to the Whole nation, and especially to the vast interior region hereinafter to be no­ticed at some greater length. I propose haying prepared and laid before you at an early day, some interesting and valuable statistical inform­ation upon this subject.

To carry out the provisions of the act of Con­gress of the 15th of May last, I have caused the Department of Agriculture of the United States. to be organized. The Commissioner informs me that within the period of a few* months; this Department has established an extensive system of correspondence and exchange, both at-home and abroad, which promises to effect highly ben­eficial results in the development of a correct knowledge of recent improvements in agricul­ture, in the introducjf&n"of new products,, and. in the collectfon of tue agricultural statistics of

• the different States. Also, that it wi l l soon be J prepared to distribute largely seeds, cereals, plant*; and cuttings, and haa already published and liberally diffused much valuable informa­tion in anticipation of a more elaborate report, which-will in due time be furnished, embracing some valuable'tests in chemical science now i n progress in, tije laboratory. The creation o f tint Department was for the more immediate benefit of a large-class of our most valuable citi­zens, and 1 trust that the liberal basis.upon which i t h a s been, organized will not only meet your approbation, bijit that it will realize at no distant-day, all ihe fondest anticipations of its most sanguine friends, and become the fruitful source of advantage to all our people.

On the 22d day of September last, a proclam-

some uuo iu mum ui .uww wM..w.w, , p & ( by a physical barrier, but by embarrassing and onerous'trade regulations. And this.te.,true wherever the dividing or .boundary lifi£ may be fixed. Place it between the now free' nnd slave1

conntry, or place it south of JKentnckyijor north of Ohio, and still the trutlf\re_mains that none south Of it can trade to afiyMace north of it,

[and none north of i t can traao to any port or place south of it, except upori terms dictated by a government, foreign to them. These outlets, ^ t , west, and 80uthx are indispensable to the well-being of the'people Inhabiting and to inhab­it this vast interior region. Which of the three may be the best, Is no proper question. All are better than either, and nil of right belong to that people and to their successors forever.— True to themselves,they will not ask where a line of separation shall be, but will vow rather that there shall be no such line. Nor are the marginal' regions less interested in these commu­nications to and through them to the great out­side world. T!iey, too, and each of them, must have access to" tins Egypt of the West, w ithout paying tolTat the crossing of any national boun­dary. Our national strife springs not from our permanent part, not from the land wc inhabit, not from our national homestead. There is no possible' severing of this, but would multiply, and not mitigate, evils among us. In all its adaptations and aptitudes, it demands union, and abhors separation. In fact, it would ere long force re-union, however much of blood nnd treasure the separation might have cost. Our strife! pertains to ourselves, to the passing gene-tions of men, and cannot, without convulsion, b e hushed forever with the passing of one gene­ration.

In this view, I recommend the adoption of I, , A. H ^ w i n i i u i m . . .w » » U | ,

the following resolution and articles.amond»tor}-of tri»<ions8tutr6h of the United States.

Seeofced, By the Senate and House of RepresentaUres of the Doited S t a t u of America, In Congress assembled, two-thirds of both Houses concurring, that the following Articles be proposed to the Legislatures or Conventions of the sev­eral States, as Amendments to the Constitution of the United Blatts, all or a n ; of which Articles, when m i l l e d by three-fourths ef the said Legislatures or ConvenUons, to be valid as a part or parts of the said Constitution, viz.:

Antict*-—BjTery State wherein Slavery now exists which shall abolish the same therein at any lime or times before the first day Of January, In the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred, shall receive compensaUon from the United S U t e s , as foUowa, to w i t :

Tbet^Presldent of the United SUtes [shall deUver to every «nch ;Stete bonds of the United States, bearing Interest at the rateof w-—for each slave shown to have been therein by the Eighth Census of the United States said bonds to be deliver­ed to such State by Installments, or In one parcel, at the completion of the abolishment, accordingly aa the same shaU haT* been gradual or at one time within such State ; and In­terest shaU begin to run upon any such bond only from the proper time of Its delivery as aforesaid, and afterward. Any State having received bonds as aferesale, and afterward In­troducing or tolerating Slavery therein, shall refund to the United States the bonds so received or the valoe thereof and aU Interest paid thereon.

AsTiCLa—All slaves who shall bave enjoyed actual, free­dom, by (be chances of the war, at any tune before the end of the Rebellion, shall be forever free; but all owners of such, who shall not hare been disloyal, shall be compensated for them at the s a n e rates aa is-provlded for States adopting abolishment of Slavery, put In such a way that no slave shall be twice accounted for.

Aixicut—Congress may appropriate moner and otherwise providing for colonising free colored persons, with their own consent, a t any place or places without the United 8tatcs.

Without Slavery, the rebellion could never have existed; without Slavery it could not con­tinue. Among the friends of the Union there is great diversity of sentiment and of policy iu regard to Slavery and the African race among us. Soma would abolish it suddenly, and with

. . „ „ the future of the freed people. . . _ w _ _-, merely authorises, Congress to aid In colonizing such as may consent. This ought not to be re­garded as obJejsUonable on the one hand or on the other, In­somuch as It comes to nothing unless by mutual consent of the people to bio deported and the American voters, through their representatives In Congress. .

I cannot make It better known than It already Is that I strongly favor colonization, and ye t 1 wish to say there Is an objection urged against the colored persons remaining In the country which is largely Imaginary, If not sometimes mall-cioua. It Is Insisted that their presence would Injure and d u p l i e s white labor and white laborers. If there ever could be a proper time for mere arguments, that time surely Is not

[now. I n times like the present, men should utter nothing for.whlch.they would not willingly be responsible through time and eternity.

Is It true, then, that colored people can displace any more white labor by being free than remaining slaves T If they stay In their old places they Jostle no white laborers. If they leave their old places, they leave them open to whits laborers. Logically, there is neither more nor less of It.—^ Emancipation, even, without deportation, would probably enhance the wages of white labor, and very surely wonld not reduce them. Thus the customary amouat of labor would still have to be performed. The freed people would surely not do more than their eld proportion of It. and very proba­bly for a time wonld do less, leaving an Increased part to white laborers, bringing their labor Into greater demand, and consequently enhancing the wages of It. With deporta tlon, even to a limited extent, enhancing wages to white labor Is aatbeniatlcally certain. Labor Is like any other commodity in the market; increase the demand for It and you Increase the price of It. Seduce the supply of black la­bor by colonizing- the black laborers out of the country^ and by precisely so much you Increase the demaad forand wages of white labor. But it Is dreaded that the freed people will swarm forth and cover the whole land. Are they not al­ready In the land T WIU liberation make them any more numerous? Equally dlatrlbuted among the whites of the whole country, there would be but one colored to seven whites. Could the one In any way grcaUy disturb the seven T

The plan consisting of these articles Is recommended, not but that a restoration of the National authority would be accepted without Its adoptlen, nor that the war, nor pro­ceedings under the Proclamation of September 2,1863, win be stayed because of the recommendation of tuts plan. I u timely adoption, I doubt not, would bring restoration, arid thereby stay both. And notwithstanding this plan the reo-uinmendaUon that Congress provide by law for compensat­ing any State <*rhlch may adopt emandpaUon before this plan shall have been acted upon Is hereby earnestly renew­ed. Such would only be an advance part of the plan, and the same arguments apply to botb.

Tlib plan Is recommended as a means, not In exclusion of, but addlUonal to, ail others for restoring and preserving the national authority throughout the Union. The subject la preaeuied exclusively In Its economical aspect. The plan

I would, 1 am confident, secure peace more speedily than can h>e doae oy force alone, while It would cost less, considering

amounts and manner of payment, and times of payment^ and the amounts would be -easier paid than will be the additional cost of the war, if we rely solely upon force.

U Is most likely—very likely—that It would cost no blood at all. The plan Is proposed as .permanent constitutional law. It cannot become such without tho copcurrenco of, first, two-thirds of Congress, and afterwards three-fourths o f , the States. The requisite three fourths of the States wilK necessarily Include seven of the Slave Sbxtes. Their end-currence. If obtained, wUl give assurance of their severally adopting emancipation at no distant day' upon the new con­stitutional terms. This assnrsnee would end the struggle now and save the Union ferever.

_ i e London Times h a s the fo l lowing said had involved us in so much sin, sor-important s tatements : — r o w a n d shame/ for renewed Union and

" W e observe that our cotemporary, L a France , has thrown as ide the inaccu­rate s tatement of L a Patr ie as to the ad­herence of Russ ia to the F r e n c h proposi­t ion for an armist ice , and is content t o -ar­gue that i f would b e v e r y w r o n g in R u s s i a and E n g l a n d not to accede to the F r e n c h project. Our information w a s that R u s s i a had refused to h a v e a n y t h i n g to d o with this project for an armistice, and the asser­t ion to the contrary is n o w abandoned. All the story, therefore, qf tlix adhesion of Prusia and of the northern powerx, and perhaps of Austria and Spain, to this Eu­ropean mediation falls to the ground. It is simply a proposition made by Erance and not yet bached, by any other power. L a France thinks that the cabinets of London and St . Petersburg will h a v e great difficulty in jus t i fy ing to the public opin­ion of the world a refusal to jo in in the proposed enterprise. H o w that m a y b e w e need not now argue, for the cont ingen­c y has not y e t occured; but w h e n it is further remarked that i f M r . ' Lincoln should refuse the armistice, ' the mediat­ing P o w e r s would thence forward h a v e the right to consult o n l y their own inter­ests,' w e see in this F r e n c h proposition not only mediation, but intervention, and forcible removal of b lockade and war.

K " W e are convinced that the present is not the moment for these strong measures . T h e r e is now great reason to h o p e that b y means of their own internal action the Americans m a y themse lves sett le their own affairs e v e n sooner tban E u r o p e could sett le them for them. W e bave waited so long that it would be unpardonable in us to lose the merit of our self-denial at such a moment as this . T h e proposition of an armistice would be just now so manifest ly an act of favoritism to the Soufb and of hostil ity to the North that even the d e m ­ocratic party could not fail to excla im against it. A s to our own workpeople , we fear that if the southern ports were opened | to-morrow the cotton manufactures would not immediate ly revive . T h e r e is a win­ter ye t , which must be tided ower b y the aid of the moro fortunate members of our communi ty . But e v e n were this other­wise we qui te agree with Mr. Cobden that it wonld be cheaper to k e e p all Lancas­hire on turtle and venison than plunge into a desperate war with the northern States of America, e v e n with all Europe at our back. In a good cause and as a necess i ty forced^upon us in defence of our honor, or our rightful interests , w e are as ready to fight as w e ever were ; but w e do not see our duty or our interest in go ing blindfold into an adventure such as this. W e very much doubt, moreover, whether, if Virgin­ia belonged to France as Canada belongs to E n g l a n d , the Emperor of the French would be so act ive in beat ing up for re­cruits in this Amer ican mediation league.''

S T . Lours, Nov, 29,1862.

To Maj.-Gen. Halieck, General-in-Chief: Gen. Blunt with his division made forced

marches and attacked the enemy yesterday morning at Cone Hill.

The battle lasted several hours. The enemy, under Gen. Marmaduke, began to fall back about one o'clock, but retreated fighting until sundown. The victory was complete. Our loss is not great; the enemy's loss is much greater than ours. Our forces camped on the battle field. The enemy has retreated to Vau Buren.

' W e have news from Stonewall Jackson's headquarters by three different messengers to Saturday morning. Jackson is in full retreat, horse, foot and artillery. At Surry, oil Friday, he continued hik retrograde movement froin Winchester, passing through Strasburg. Fri­day afternoon and Saturday morning his rear J guard and himself passed through Woodstock,! and his whole column was moving steadily "t'l the valley turnpike.

By forced marches his command was pro-l grossing from twenty to twenty-five miles daily. Tie was going toward Gordonsville, by Harris­onburg and Staunton. Yesterday the last el ihe rebel cavalry pickets were withdrawn from our front, and to-day the coast is entirely clear There is every indication that Jackson's retrea this time is real, he having failed to draw oui generals here into a snare.

Because of these diversities, wo waste much strength in struggles among ourselves; by mutual concession, we should harmonize and act together. This would - be a compromise among the friends and not with the- enemies of the Union. These articles are intended to embody ap ian of such mutual con­cessions. If tho plan shall be adopted, it is as­sumed that emancipation will follow, at least in several of the States. As to the {first article, the main points are:

1. The emancipation. 2. The length of time for consummating

(thirty-seven years); and"-' 3. The compensation. The Emancipation will be unsatisfactory to

the advocates of perpetual Slavery, but the length of time should greatly mitigate their di»-|«atisfaction. The time spares Uothi races from the,evils' of sudden derangement; \n fact, from the necessity of any derangement, while, most of those whose habitual course of ftoiight will

It was our pleasure to be present at a trial of Bolles' Patent Stone-Digger and Wall-Layer, which took place near Barney's Hotel in North Bangor, on Friday last. That the reader may better understand what the machine is, we will give a brief description of it. It is simply a compact and stout iron windlass placed upon a frame supported by large, tired wheels. The small diameter of the windlass, together with the multiplying wheels, give enormous lifting power. The machine is drawn Over the rock to be hoisted, and two large hooks attached to a chain connected with the windlass, are placed in slight indentations made with a drill in ctther side of the rock. A few turns of the windlass and the huge boulder, no matter how firmly it is embedded in the earth, is easily hoisted out, and deposited on the ground near by, or swing­ing beneath the truck can be carried to any place desired.

This machine is one of the great labor saving implements of the age, and the wonders it per­formed on Friday last more than exceeded the expectations of all that witnessed its operations. In a very, abort space of time four large rocks were removed from the earth where they had

1 probably remained from its very foundation, Land where very likely they ever would have remained but for the invention of the- u Lifter.'* One of these "huge pebbles" was estimated, by good judges present, to weigh at least five tons. It was taken out of the road-way,- where the ground-was very hard and compact, and wh^rej too,- it was fros&ii from six to eight inches deep j around it—but it could, not resist. A s the .windlass turned, it began to raise, and For some distance arqunfl, it looked as though a " ytjung , earthquake n , was .trying to burst through

Ire^uWtly." Haioljte, NqV; 18,4863.

ments , and thinks it would be doing them injustice, and casting an imputation on their bravery , to approve their resigna­tions. T h e s e , the General be l i eves , have been for the m o s t part prompted b y the recall of Cren. McClel lan, and w e r e in­tended " as a s ignal express ion of devotion t o that trusted and beloved .young Gener­al." But he says , " devot ion to a Gener­al, however popnlar and richly endowed with talents , and by nature magical ly qualified to attract and bind soldiers to him, ought not to bo al lowed to interrupt for a moment the loyal and int imate rela­tions which should over unite the soldier to his flag and the citizen to the S ta te ." H e then informs his command that it has been the great error of the Irish people that in their s truggles for independence t h e y have g iven a passionate and blind adherence to an individual instead of a principle or a c a u s e ; that the heroic ef­forts in the right direction have been spasmodic and feverish. T h e acceptance of the resignations of the officers of his brigade, h e continues , would only engraft 1 this disparagement of the Irish race—this " error of a nature a t once v e h e m e n t and w e a k " — i n the history o f t h e . JJnited S t a t e s ; and for that, and the added reason that it is the sacred d u t y o f e v e r y man now engaged in the conflict with rebellion not to hold up until it i s put down, h e ' re­fuses the requests of his officers, and con­cludes as f o l l o w s :

"For his own najt, the Brigadier-General will stand.by his brigade to the last. So long as Heaven epareshf i l i fe ,ne wul be true to the brigade that has-been true to him, that has been true to its oath, true to the high spirit as well as to the strict letter of the military law, true to the brighter history, the pride, and expectations of their noble, soldierly old race—the race of the O'Donnells of Spain, the McMahons of

•France,; the Nug'ehts of Austria, the O'Neils and Sarsfields.. While a shred of the flag tnst symbolizes this race defies the ravages of the battle, and fifty men be left t o hold it highland haughty in the face of death, the Brigadier-General, should it be the will of God, shall be found standing firm and faithful at bis post; and this determination, he is confident, ani­mates and fires this moment every true heart in the Irish Brigade,"'

It is further stated, on good authv ity, that, notwithstanding an abundance of sir pues at Aquia Crpek, the army is actually s< iering for food, from want of transportation its conveyance. For some reasons, many div ions are again destitute of shoes and clothing.|

Nov. 20th, 1862. EDITORS PALLADrcji : _ i beg most res;

fully to solicit the insertion of a email graph to the memory of one whose name miliar to most, if not all of your readers; jamin Hobbs, a soldier belonging to Co. 1,1 Regiment, N. Y. 8. V., who died of lnng f in Cumberland Hospital, Virginia, on t»e 1 inst, at half past 12 o'clock, P. M.

All that human art could do was rendered medical assistance and also by his comra but it was all of no avail. Sergt Bobert son, formerly employed in Hiram Ho; Esqr's. mill, who was with hirri in hospital three weeks previous to his decease, and ' occupied the next cot to him, states that deceased exhibited a truly patient and chrisi spirit, inwardly feeling from the first that could never survive bis malady, fie was a good soldier, a pure christais, a

voted patriot, and who was beloved by his "' rodes, both friends and strangers,*devoted I cause he had embarked in, and one who, h lived, would have been found foremost figl liiB country's battles in the cause of freedo-

anxious to see peace restored to bis now ing icountry.

For the satisfaction o f hia relatives an friendB, I must inform you that Capt. P. Bj Shields, accompanied by Sergt.-Lang, attendei' and comforted him in his moments, acoompani ed his funeral, which was escorted by a part o: the 2d Maryland Regiment of Volunteers, tW last, though not least, had a tombstone jerectefl oyer his grave in remembrance of his many rir-* 't^si . . . ,^

Hoping, ttfessw. Iku^lfc, you will insert fa foregoing paragraph ift y^Ervalaable paper, *
