BU stem and ?? emplary punishment can and mum be meted out tn the m'?r derertand fehms, who, disgracing the profession of arma, seek to make of public war the occasion ror the commit ?Ion or the most monstrous crimes. Deeply as we regret the character oT the coolest Into which wo are about to be forced, we must accept It as an alternative which recent manifestations give us little hope can be avoided. The exasperation of fkilure h?s aroused the worst pas siona of our enemies; a large portion of their people, even of their clergymen, now engage In urging on excited populace to the extreme of ferocity, and nothing rem ? Ins bat to vlndlo tte our rights and to maintain our existence by employing against our foe every energy and every re souree at our disposal. I append for your Information a aepy of the paper* ex hibiting the action of the government, up to the present time, for the repression of the outrages committed on our neople. Other measures now in progress will be sub mitted hereafter. In Inviting your attention to the legislation which the necessities of our condition require, th we connect**! with tlie prosecution of the war command almost undivided at tention. The acts passed at your last session Intended to secure the public defence bj general enrolment, and to render uniform the rules governing troops In the nervine, bavo led to some unexpected eritlclsm that la much to be re gretted. The efficiency of the law has been thus somewhat Im paired, though it is not believed that In any of the States the popular mind has withheld Its sanction from either the neoesslty or propriety of your legislation. It Is only by harmonious as well as zealous actl m that a govern ment as new as ours, ushered into existence on the very eve of a great war, and unprovided with the ma terial necessary for conducting hostilities on no vast a scale, can fu!fll its duties. Upon you, who are fully informed of the acts and puro"8<)s "f the govern ment, and thoroughly imbued with the feeling* and sen timents of the people, m st reliance be pliicod to secure thin great obj< ct. You con best dovise the means for es Ubl.ihuu that entire co-operatiou of the State and Ton. federate governments which ir< essential to the well being v.* t?~lu at times, but which is now indispensable to their ve< > existence. And if any legislation 851 all ream to you appropriate for a4ju>dlB? differences of opinion, it will be my pleasure as well us duty to co-oiverato in any measure that m.iy be devised or reconciling a Just cave for ttio public de'e.:ce with a proper dofereuco for tlio moat scrupulous suscep tibilities of tho State authorities. The report oT the Secretary of tho Treasury will exhibit in detail tho operations of th'it department. It will be so.-u with satisfaction thai the crcdit of the government socurities remains unimpaired, and that this credit is rully justified by the comparatively small amount oi' accu mulated debt, notwithstanding the mag dtude of our mill tary operate ns. The legislation of the last s?fcioa pro vlded for the pnrchnseof supples with tho b nds of fis government, but the preference of the peo do for Tre isury cotes has been so m irked that the legislation is recoiu mended to au'horite un incrai e in the istue of Tr anur,, notef, which the public service seems to require. No grave inconvonienee need be apprehended I rein this increased issue, as tho pro visit n of law by which these notes are convertible into ei^bt pi r ccut b> nds, fo. ms an efficient hnd perma; em safeguard again-1 any seiious depreciation of the currency. Your at loot Inn is also Invited to the means proposed by the Secretary for facilitating tho prepar tlion of tbcsu noted, and i'or guard ing them o^iiust forgery. It is due to our people to state that no mar.ufactuie of counterfeit notes exists wiiMli our limits, And that they are imported all from the Northern Statos. Tho report of the Secretary ot War, which Is submitted, contains numerous suggestions tor the 'n isl i ion deemed decir.iblc in order to njld to the efficiency Of tho service. I Invite your favorable conspiration es >cciai,y to those recommendation'; which are isteuded to aware the pnper oxocutlcn of tlio C'onsoript law.nnd the <v>n*>;idattoa of companies, battalions und regiments, whea so reduced in strength as to mpair thai unii'o. mlty of ergunliation which Is necessary in the ai my, ? nlle a . undue hurt hen is Imposed on the Treasury.

Tho mortality among the sick and wounded soldiers la, how over, very gi oat. None of tho h >tels have at auy time been used lor hospitals, but luany private residences and pub.ic buildings have beeu taken tor that purpore. A large number ol' the w m. u and children loft Richmond when ihey considered.the city lu danger, and they have not returned, beiievlug a residence in the rebel capital as very uncertain, no matter how distant tho Union a. my may be. i'he rebels are confident of ultimate s-ccess but do not besituto to say, ahould Richmond be wrested from them, it would virtually end the war; for the ret el army, although determined to tl ht, are heartily sick ot tho war, and, if del rated at Richmond, would diabiuid, and could ootaguin be brought ti gcther. rho number or 1'nlonist.i in Richmond is esti mated at not over thrco thousand,and they consist prlucl pa.ly of naturalized foreigners.

The rebels appeal to receive from Maryland from ten to twenty thousand men on account of President Lincoln's order for drafting.

Immediately alter this council of wir had beenb'ld, however, and no doubt tu pursuance of Its iteeist tin, at'll m re troops, in large bodies, ware sent from I', ohmond to Gordonsville.

There -ire now at Richmond lets than .'0 000 irooj?, and even these are ko;>t ready to march at a day's i mit e. Tbe battle of Cedar Mount-ii^, 11 will bo remembered, to>-k place on theOtb. In whatever light we may regard that engagement, the rebels em aider and claim it as a victory for them. They have made <?or<lounvilU a aecoiid Manassas,and thoy boast that tho I'nion Itoona can n ver cross the Rapidan.uny more than McPowol ai.cceeded incrcssu g Hull run. They compare the battle of Codar Mountain to tbe preliminary fkiiinii-h at Hull run on the 18tb of July, 1881. But It Is s.nd tint tbit battle waa brought on by Got.oral J ickr.on principally to deceive the Union general-, to make them believe that tbe rebels regarded the do.eneo of tho Hapi'lan as the Important point of tho c..tr.piign, and to induce the fall niMa to mas? and keen at Culpopjier u gr.-.H aimy, while he, under tbe direction of Geuoral l.ee, ah uld ac complish the real object of the cam >ntgn. Un the 12th General Jackson proceeded from Gordona ville to Slatyitun, where a column of tilty thousand troops had been assembled. Placing himself ut iha h:ad of the-e, it is said that be marched immediately up tbe turnpike road to Harrisonburg, and from tnouce to Slrus burg and Winchester. At the same time a second column ol' Ofty thousand more troo|? was put in nioiion from Gorj d-iuavillo, en route for Staunton, in the railroad cars, ai d (bla column, it was said, would follow Jackson imme diately. There were still left at QordonsvlUe cn the 10th one bundred and fifty thousand troops. The plan of the campaign was believed to be for Gen Jackson tn keep General Leo appri.-eu of hia movements, so that tbey could act II concert. On Jacksm's arrival at Winchester, General Lee is to attaek Pole's army, and be confidently ezi e ts to rout him. so to be :ible tu push ou to Washington tl once. At the .-utne time Jacks. >n was to turn tho he id or his columaa to t:io ri . ht, strike for Lfesbtug. cross tbe I'umii c at throe points tln.ro. and push etj to W sblugton down the lull l-ai.k of the Po tomac. If the piansiicceudeU.ftenor.il 1-oe expected so bo at Manassas and Centrev 11 le with one hundred and Ufty thousand troojia by the tl:ue that Jack?ori waa croaa:ng the Poiounio with one hut; ired thousand. The rebols prctctkl to buvu certain lr;for* mation that tbe du!once? of Wof.hir^ton en tb ? Virginia side are not near so formidable as to, resent.oil, ami that tliey can easily bo c irr.c I. At all eventa, It waa General I.ee'a intention to make tho at tempt, unlers he should be convinced, from actual recon nolsanico, that tho worka were too sirong to be carried. In ibat case he would crosa the Potomac eith r 'hove Washington at Corn's Kurt', or below It near Fort U'nsh li-.gton, and inarch on W a! I 'glon In conduction with Jnk'on. The distance t'rem Mtmnton V> V. inehesur la ei^nty mil s; to the Po.omac at I,ee-b-irg f rty nvles f rther; to Wushin ton, by wayof Pooleevli i and Tarnea town, thltty miles more, tn kin/ 160 miles.

As that att? k will depend, h"wever, entirely cn the success of Jackson's movements, It may be delny--J (.use days yet.
