Kkt3niMigmn\ CAMPBELL & M'DEEMOT EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. WEDXENDAY XOB.MXO, DEC. ?. THE I*Ht.smKY^I Fffl? nil Our readers will bo disappointed on opening this papar to find only a brief and unsatisfactory synopsis of tbe President's menage. We share their disappointment, and suffer In addition the mortification of feeling that our* selves and oar readers have been very badly treated in the matter. We had as usual made every arrangement to receive the message in full at the ear liest moment. We were acfvised that the message would not be telegraphed, but would be sent out in advance by the mails, but no copy cauie to us. The following syno|>sis, which we publish, was kindly furnished us by the office of the United States liue. SYNOPSIS OF THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. The President, In his message, ex pressed gr? titude to God in the name of the people for tbe preservation of the United States. He reverted to the death nf the late President. He said the Union of tbe United States was intend ed by its authors to last as long as the States themselves. He defined the powers of the Constitution. If time re vealed defects in it, a simple mode of amendment was provided in it. so that its conditions can always be made to con form to the requirements of advan cing civilization. No room is ullowed for even the thought of a possibility of its coming to an end. Al>solute itcqui escence in the decision of the majority, was^al the beginning of the century, enforced by Jefferson, anil the events of the last four years have established, we hope forever, that there lies no appeal to force. After treating upon the subject of the sovereignty of theStateshe said: I found the States suffering from the effects of u ! civil war. Resistance to the General ; Government appeared to haveexhaust cd itself. The United Suites had re covered possession of their forts and arsenals and their armies were in the occupation of overy State which had at tempted to secede. Whether the terri tory within the limits of those States should l>c held as conquered territory, under military authority, emanating from the President as the head of the ariuy. was the first question that pre sented itself for decision. Mili tary governments, established for an indefinite period, would have afforded no security for the early depression of discontent; would have di vided the peo ple Into the vanquishers and vanquish ed; and would have engendered hatred rather titan have* restored affection. ? ?nce established no precise limits to the continuance were conceivable. They would have occasioned an incalculable and exhausting expense. He snoke at some length about the debt and finan cial resources. Said our debt is doubly secure; first, in the actual wealth and still greater un tie veloped resources of the country, and next in the character of our insti tutions. He said: It is our first du'y to prepare in earnest for our recovery t om the ever increasing evils of an irre deem able currency without a sudden revolution, and yet without untimely procrastination. For that end we must, each in our respective positions; pre pare the way. 1 hold it to be the duty ?>f the executive to insist upon frugal ity in the expenditures, and a sparing eeouoiny is in itself a great national resource. Of foreign matters, he said: Our relations with the Emperor of China, ho recent ill their origin, an* most friendly. The unbroken har mony between the United States and the Emperor of Russia is receiving a new sup|Kirl from an enterprise design ed to carry telegraphic lines across the continent of Asia, through his domin ions, and so to connect us with alPKu rope by a new channel of interests. Our commerce witii South America is aliout to receive cucouragemcnt by a direct lino of mail steamships to tbe rising empire of Brazil. The distinguished imrty of men of science who have recently left our country to make n scientific exploration of the natural history and rivers and mountain ranges of that region, have received from the Euiperor that geuerous welcome which was to have been expected from bis constant friendship for the United States, and his well known zeal in pro moting the advanoement of knowledge. We received front the powers in the re gion of the Mediterranean Sea, expres sion* of good will, and it is worthy of note that a special envoy has brought tis a message of condolence in the death of our late Chief Magistrate from the Hey of Tunis, whose rule includes the ohf domains of Carthage on the African coast. He spoke about Great Britain at some length and, said for the future, friend ship between the two countries must rest on the basis of mutual justice. He says ; But while 1 have no doubt that now, after the close of the war, it Is not competent for the general government to extend the electlvo franchise in the several States, it is equally clear that good faith require* the security of the ireedmcn in their liberty and property, their right to claim the just returrt of their la nor. The l.ucallou of Mir ('Mpllnl?Will 11 bnlltl ??|? a City ? In the discussion respecting the loca tion of the State Capital, which lias been progressing for some tiino we have had little to say, and that little has been rather sportive than otherwise; but some of our country exchanges, indulge theories so extravagant and impractica ble, that we feel const rained to suggest some little matters of fact which seem to us worthy of their consideration. It will be better fot them to ubaudon the rose-tinted regions of the fanciful and couio down to the actual and practical now, than to be brought down by force of circumstances hereafter. They tell us that the location of the State Capital at some point in the inte rior, say Buekhannon, will speedily build up a great city, will bring rail ways from distant points, and will de velopo anil enrich not only the imme diately surrounding country but the whole state. These are great achieve ments. It is barely possible our (Hemls talk rather glibly of them, because it is so easy to do great things on paper. To build up a great iulaud city, to connect it with the outer world by long lines of costly railways, to develop** the uatural wealth of a state snclt as ours and en rich its |K>opIe, is indeed a stupendous work. Is it really practicable to ac complish it so readily and by such easi ly commanded means as proposed ? In anything we may say on this sub ject, we first say explicitly that we have no preference for or hostility to any jwrticular point outside 6( this city.? The majority of our exchanges favoring Buckhauuon, lot us consider the effect of locating the Capital at that point laud it would be the same at any similar one.) Buekhannon is a pleasant little village of about 800 or 1000 souls, 28 utiles front the Parkersburg Branch Railroad, by mud turnpike?the capital ot Upshur county and has we believe two or three hotels (formerly styled tiverns) as good we suppose as similar establishments in other vil lages throughout the State. Wo believe some patriotic gentleman or gentlemen propose to donate the grounds for the public buildings. Even if the State bays them, the price for a few acres will not bo large and It will go into one pocket or two or three at most. There can be no question that the Stato prison will be built in or near this city or Par kersburg. The reawous for it are too obvious to permit any doubt on that point. The State House, then, will be the only public building to be erected. It need be neither a very enormous nor very magnificent building; and will not be. The Linsley Institute in this city, . now occupied as a State House answers | the purpose tolerably well. The halls for the Legislature are sufficient, but ' one or two more offices and committee I rooms are needed, and all the o.hers need to be larger. That building cost $15,000, : we have heard; and would cost 830,000 now. Of course the State House should be a good deal larger and much hand Hoiner building. We suppose ?250,000 would build a handsome and ample one, and no legislature working for $3 a day will appropriste more for the purpose, or be re-elected if they do. The con tractors and architects and most of the workmen will be supplied by this or other cities. Some stone, some dirt for brick and some limestone for lime would bo required from the surround ing country, but we don't think very many people would get rich by furnish ing them. Boarding would be needed for the workmen, and a few retail stores would do a little better business by reason of the addition of one or two hundred workmen to the population. Probably during the two or three years of construction half the $250,000 would be expended in tho neighborhood.? Holders of real estate would at the be ginning put their property up out of the reach of any mechanic who might feel inclined to buy and settle, and when the cnpitol was finished, and the contrac tors and the workmen gone, these hold ers of real estate would be holders of it still, and aside from the little neighbor hood brusbing-up, stimulated by the speculative feeling in the community, the place would be in improveuient as it would bo in population, substantially | where it was before, and it would be I found that the dreams of greatness and wealth were delusivo. If tho citizens did not discover this then, tliey would within a few months after the machi nery of government was removed to the new capitol. The "city" would 1*? called on to furnish accommodations for Mix gentlemen filling tho depart ments, and about that number of clerks. These accommodations need not be very magnificent, and would not not be to correspond with tho salaries. If these officials chanced to be gentlemen of families, a half-dozen houses would bo wanted. Otherwise a boarding house or two would be sufficient* The gross amount of money which they would unnually disburse, could not ex ceed $15,000, unless they drew on pri vate resources. The Legislature would assemble once a year, and during the forty-live days of their stay tho board ing accommodations of Buckliannon, as it now is, would bo about absorbed. As in the caso of the Stat? officials, these gentlemen couldn't very well ex pend more than $11,000 during each an nual visit to the "city." Then there would be an exj>enditure of about $10, 000 or $15,000 a year for State printing; but that Would havo to bo executed elsewhere, for that patronage would not sustain an establishment capable of executing tho Stato work, even with all the business of tho "city" thrown in. Hero would bo an actual disbursement of less than thirty thousand dollars a year to build a great city, attract costly railways from distant points, and de velops and enrich the State! And san guine people who made substantial preparation for a more expanded stato of things, would find out their folly to their cost. Suppose some one built a big hotel in view of tho enormous de mand that tho capital "city" would make on such an institution. How soon would he get his money back from a half-dozen officials and clerks, most of whom lived at home or at boarding houses? But then there would bo the Legislature! Yes, a month and a "half out of twelve; and the Boniface of the big hotel would havo to chargo them a good deal more than $3 a day to keep up bia establishment the balance of the year. It must bo confessed that these are about tho actualities of the case, and that there is littlo in them to stimulate the speedy growth of a small inland, isolated, village into a great city. Even tho big hotel would not bo built for money lias very sharp instincts?and we might afford to give it credit in this case for at least common sense. Capi tal does not j*o into enterprises blindly; and a littlo calculation would satisfy Mr. Mouiodman that there would be nothing Tor his big hotel to do. The railroads would not dream of going to such a place, and in consequence the State would not be developed nor the people enriched. In a year or two the novelty of being tho capital "city" oven to tho inhabitants themselves would wear otT, and the place would relapse into its old shabblness and torpidity; and the punishment of being banished to such a solitude would bo so great as to render it next to impossible to find anybody patriotic enough to accept the Stato offices, and it would ultimately become necessary to movo the capital back to tho outer world. But the subject grows on our hands, and wo shall have to reserve other branches of it for another occasion. Oescriptlon ot sue Ram Stonewall. '1 ho Washington Chronicle gives the following description of the rebel ram Stonewall, recently arrived at the Washington Navy Yard from Havana, where, it will be recollected, its com mander surrendered to the Spanish au thorities soon after tho surrender of Johnston's army to Sherman; As little as she accomplished in aidof the rebellion, she is truly a formidable vessel, and under favorable circum stances might have been a dangerous antagonist. She Is full briK-riKKtHl' presents a neat but by no means an imposing appearance, aud to a casual has nothhig in outward aspect strikingly ditlerent from ordinarv ves sels, ex.H'pt the backward slope of her nroW from the water's edge upward ? iSL^treiMe len&th including her beak is 196 feet; length between perpendicu lars, lltt feet; breadth of beam about 32 feet, and depth lYom the upper deck 20 feet. She draws lti feet of water. Her hull is monlded for as high rate of speed us could be attained consisteutlv with tho required strength, and the prow or beak, which is a continuation of tho hull, extends forward, as seen in profile, somewhat in the form of the coulter to a plough. She has a turret huVgum?111 another aft, in which are ls Completely armed with P.uhSi in .7,* J lron lhree an'1 a h?lf Pugd. and gs ra'^nu^uAirwa^\^rrki"1S rem thv 1?W| taken 88 ?round, and about five fe?t In height i ".r^f,U! whlch *tattiruirv are el*btfc?i high and covered withveJu! P'"? wrought iron, fouraud. half inches thick in the most exposed Hides, und elsewhere ubout four inches. In the forward turret there are three, ports, one directly in front and one on either bide. It contains a splendid 300 pounder Armstrong rifled gnu, which rests on a mahogany carriage, running on a circular back so that the gun can be trained to eitherof the porta. In the after turrets there are four ports, two on the quarters, and it contains two 70 pounders of the same construction as the other and similarly mounted. The first mentioned has a bore about ten inches in diameter, and the two latter about six inches. The beak is heavily armored, and pointed with a sharp and heavy piece of solid steel that would penetrate almost any substance against which it might bo driven. It slopes gradually, and with a slight curve, from the top of the forward turret to the point, the latter being about seven feet t>elow the surface of the water. Its length from a perpen dicular line dropped from the slope is thirty-five feet. It is, indeed, a most formidably offensive weapon. The vessel has two powerful engines, two screws, and two rudders, and at her stern presents the appearance ot two vessels united together. On the way from Havana she made as much as ten knots an hour in smooth water, with a pressure of twenty pounds of steam and without using sail, She obeys the helm readily, and could thus have been advantageously handled in action; and, although there was considerable rough weather on the passage, she proved her self an excellent sailor, rolling but lit tle, and behaving herself finely in every respect. Her complement of men under the rebel commander was seven ty. Naval officers who have been aboard of her and examined her construction, say that she would be an exceedingly formidable adversary. She might steam directly tip toward the broad side of a vessel with a fair chance of escaping without getting struck; and even ir her turrets and everything above water should be knocked to pieces the only effect would l>e to disable her guns, leaving her still competent to rush on and drive her back through the unpro tected sides of her antagonist below the water line. [r. Newnrd'n Account of the Attack upon Him. The American correspondent of the London Spectator writes that he recent ly heard Mr. Seward and Frederick Seward give the following account of their own sensations at the time of the attempted assassination: "Mr. Frederick Sewnrd said that on stepping from his bedroom into the passage and seeing the assassin, he merely wondered whut ho was doing there, and called him to account. On i his resisting the fellow's endeavor to j press into Mr. Seward's room, the as- j sassin drew a revolver, which he pre- I sented at Mr. Frederick Sewnrd's head. What followed, it must bo remembered, took place in a few seconds. Mr. Fred erick Seward's first thought was, ?That's a navy revolver.' ??The man pulled the trigger, but it only snapped, and his intended victim thought, *That cap missed fire.' "His next sensation was that of con fusion, and being upon the floor, rest ing upon his right arm, which, like his father's jaw, was barely recovered from a bad fracture?the assassin had felled him to tho floor with the butt of the pis tol?he put his hand to his head, fund finding a hole there, he thought, 'That cap did not miss fire after all.' ??Then he became insensible, and re mained so for two days and more. His fist indication of returning conscious ness was the question, 'Have you got tho ball out ?' after which he fell ofT again into a comatose condition, which was of long continuance. "On the very afternoon of tho day when Mr. Lincoln was assassinated, Mr. Frederick Seward, who was Assistant Secretary of State, had asked his father what preparation should be made for the presentation of Sir Frederick Bruce, which was to take place the next day. Mr. Seward gave him the points of a reply to be made to Sir Frederick, and he laid the outline of the speech upon the Pres ident's table, and. as I have previously informed my readers, Mr. Lincoln that afternoon wrote out the reply, adopting Mr. Seward's suggestions, and thus preparing that reception of tho British Minister.by President Johnson, which was regarded at the time by the people to whose representative it was addressed, as ho friendly and fair, and dignified. "Mr. Frederick Seward's first inquiry after he came fully to his senses, which was a long time atter the assassination, was, *Has Sir Frederick Bruco been presented?' He thought that only one night had passed, since he knew not what had happened to him, and his mind took up matters just where it had left them. "Mr, Seward's mental experience during his supposed assassination was in its nature so like that of his son, that it raised tliequestloh whether this absence of consternation and observa tion of minute particulars is not com mon in circumstances of unexpected and not fUlly apprehended peril. Mr. Seward was lyiiifc upon his side, close to tho edge of his bed, with . hiH head resting in a frame, which had been made to give him easo and to protect liis broken jaw from pressure. ??He was trying to keep awake, hav ing been seized upon by a sick man's fancy?it was. that if he slept he would wako up with lock-jaw. He was brought to full consciousness by tho scuflle in the passage way, followed by the en trance of tlie assassin, and tho cry of Miss Seward, *Oh! ho will kill my father.' But he saw nothing of his as sailant until a baud appeared above his face, and then his thought was, "What handsome cloth that overcoat is made of.' Tho assassin's face then appeared, and the helpless statesman only tnought ?*Wliat a handsome man!' (Payne was a lino looking fellow.) "Then came a sensation as of rain striking him smartly upon one side of his face and neck, then quickly the same upon-the other side, but he felfno severe pain. This was the assassin's knife. The blood spouted, he thought ?My time has come,' and falling from the bed to tho floor, fainted. His first sensation of returnlug consciousness was that ho was drinking tea. and that ?it tasted good.' Mrs. Seward was giv ing him tea with a spoon, ne heard low voices around him, asking and re plying as to whether it would bo pos sible for him to recover. Ho could not , speak, but his eyes showed his con sciousness, and that he desired tospeak. ? They brought him a porcelain tablet, on , which he managed to write, *Oive me some more tea. I shall get well.' And from that moment he has slowly but steadily recovered health and strength."
