Smith, SecVetnry of the Intcrinr, made an nddrtxa, f'om which we make the following extracts : a*lt is idle, my friends, "to indulge in : I lie hope tliat, if Vu caiiudl siiaiain this ' Union we can susuin rcnnhlit-au iostifta lions. For, 'let me aesnru you lonight, that if we cannot preserve our present Government in it« present form, we cannot sustain a tree government in 1 any ftirm. there is great truth— there Is gre*t force 'in the. sentiment so eloquently pronoqneed by the iinmortnl guteaitmn of Mussuchuseiu, "Liberty and vtlidn, now and forever, one and in- . Reparable." -Why it it, my friends, that ! this <Nn;ord prevails among us ? Why ; it that a portion of our own citizens ; are now thundering nt *hc xety dot* of the Capitol with hostile artillery J I ' know there it one element of discord in - ossr system; hnd I intend to speak plain- j W in all that I have to say. It is the •{■es'.ion of domestic servitude that hu asunder the temple of liberty. — h 'here in this «|uettion of slavery j that shouii-. divide- tine people ? Why. friends, when this Government was wkes we marched from the bat-tle-fields of the Revolution, every Bute ; of the Uniefo, with a single exception acI knowledged kite institution of slavery. — i It bu keen abolished in New England, ! in New York, and Pennsylvania ; and I States of the Wesk have grown to' their present stature and magnificence ' u fre$ States. Hot for the lut ten i years angry controversy hu existed up- i on this question of slavery The minds of the people of the South have been deceived by the artfol representations of demagogues, who have assured tbern that the people of the North west-deter-mined to bring tbt power of t(iia Goveminent to -bear upwatheoi for the piw- , poee of crushing oat the institution of slavery. I uk you, is there any troth in this ehnrgc ? II u the Government. | of the United States, in any single inj Stance, by one solitosy act, interfered I with the iMtilutioas of the Sooth? No, not one. The theory of this Government ia, ! that the States are sovereign within their | sphere. The Government of the United State* hu no more right lo (b> ! i tcrfcre with the institution of slavery j ! in South Carolina than It has to inter- ! '•"k

fere with the peculiar institutions of ; Rhode Island, whose benefits I have enjoyed to day. But, my friends, during the lut ijmmer, when the great political contest wu raging throughout the land, then it was that designing and dishonest men, for the purpose of accomplishing their own selfish schemes, appealed to the prcjudices?of the Southern people, denouncing those who supported Mr. Lincoln as Abolitionists — as meu who would disregard th« constitutional rights of the 8outh, and transcend the powers of the Govcrniqent. — Excited by these iniqflitoai appeals, they were ready to take ap arms to prerent the inauguration of that President whom a majority of the people had declared to be the man of their choice. My friends, I have known tho Presi- | dent long and well. It has been my fortune to be selected ag one of his cons'.itutional advisers. I havo had the honor of being connected with this Administration since its commencement, ' nnd I tell you to-night that yob cannot find in South Carolina a man'more qnxj ious, religiously and scrupulously to obi serve all the features of the Constitu- ' lion relating to slavery, than Abraham Lincoln. Had tho people of the Soalh been willing to wait and see whether lie ? would regard that oath which, iu the presence of the assembled nation, lie had taken, they would have found that , no Administration ever organized in ' this country would have more conscientiously regarded nnd protected the rights of the Sr. nth than this Administration wi utd hare doue. I know that " I speak the sentiments of the President • and his advisors^uf those who Sure , • controlled his Admfuistrution. : * * * * * * My friends, we make no war upon Southern institutions. Wo recognize ' the right of South Carolina and Georgia lo hold slaves it they desire them. — Hut, iny friends, we nppeu! to yon to uphold the great banner of our glorious country, and to leave the people ol that country to settle these domestic matters according to their own cboico nnd the ' exigencies which the times may present. »*»*»» I do not invoke yon to engage in this war as n war against slavery. We ore warring for a different principle. But , ' there ie an old udagt brought down to us from the ancients ; "That whom the , 1 gods ipovid destroy khey first madden." ^ They are cfllicted hv that madness , which, for their wickedness, God's peovt- , 1 denee has brought upon them. And that will do men to crush out the insli- \ ' tution of aktvery than wenld have been 1 done by the peaceful administration of , the Government In ten centuries. .If that ihonld be tho consequence, I have , ■ so teara to shed. To the future and to j ' Providenc* I leave the issues of this j great question. f It is not tha province of the Govern- j ment of the United States ko enter into ' a crnsade against the insolation of *l*qp- , ry. I wquld proclaim to the people of < ; all the States of this Union the right ko manage their institutions ia their own 1 i ' I know that my fellow-citizens will recognize that as one fundamental prin> 1 ciple upon which we commenced this contest. Let as not give our opponents any reason to enmphrin of in this respect. Let oe not -bring to bear upon them the power af despotisBk, hat the power of the people of a repwfciican government where the penple role. Let f us bring it to "beat upon them eo that 1 thetraitovi shall receive sock- condign punishment as ail the world may see the the fate which a free people visits upon traitors No spectacle would afford as j 1 so much satisfaction ss to see dangling 1 : from the gallows the bodies of Jefferson 1 Davis, John B Floyd, Hvury A.

Pexkis Township, Angust 25, '61. i Nfa Enrroa : — Dear Sir : — In reflecting upon the condition of the affairs of oar heretofore happy and undivided country, I have been led to the conclusion (with many 'others) that whilst the eventful scenes that are now transpiring within the precincts of our beloved country, all political prejudices and party spirit should be laid aside, i and every true patriot should rally to ' the support of such men, and such only, 1 as candidates for political preferment, ; as are free to pledge themselves to the j unqualified support, of the Government, ! i in tbi* her hour of deepest peril. Can it lie possible that any citizen is so lost to honor and every principle of rcctii lude, that he r* willing to occupy the poj silion of a foul traitor to' his country, ' and see the Federal Government go unj sustained in its efforts tojjut down one- • of the most ungenerous, unnatural, and ditbolicrl rebellions thnt ever had an ex- : istence in the annals, not only of our i i ojvn, hut of any other country ? If sneh there he, may a traitor's doom ; reward them It is our desire to be ^ generous, and in doing so, we attribute to our people the credit of true patriots; ; and if such he the case, u l.crc is the no- I ccssity of presenting two separate nnd ; distinct sets of candidates for claims up- : on the suffrages of our people, at the ensuing November election. Let us show to the country thut we are a unit ! upon the Union. My proposition is, that men pf different political proclivities, and entertaining undoubted Union RentiraeutR, nnd in' fnvnr of no compromise with traitors, but that of lead and ( hemp (unlcrs they Iny down their nrui* and return to their allegiance) be selected lor the different political positions witldii (he gift of our people. Such, sir, ore iny liunc*l sentiments ; nnd 1 sincerely hope tliot they may meet with the universal approbation of every citizens of ih'c patriotic comity of Cape May. Osr iu favor of the Union, as bequcallie<rto ua by our revo- 1 lukionary sires. WiTEB DRIHKNIG. Improper drinking of water has kille-i thousand*. There have been instances where thirsty armies, after long mareh- | es, have come to some rivcT, when the • msn would lie down on their faces ond i quaff -an excessive quantity of water, ! with these results : some died instantly. others became crazy, nnd staggered like ' drankew mew. A void drinking water ax much as possible while marching. When ! yon feel dry, rinse the mouth with water, but do not swalllow it. Drink : only when resting or before the word Is given to march. Men, when heated, should not drink anything cold. In a high state of perspiration icc water only aggravates thirst. Drink slowly.— ! Half a tumbler of water will suffice (lie thinaicst man in the world, if he drinks I by sips, and swallow each time — it will ; quench the thirst belter than u quart ; drank in the usual manner. In fuel 'l | Is almest impossible to get dowu a full ' glass of water in this manner. FAITHFUL TW THE LAST. A thrilling scene is related of one of ' the Massachusetts men', who was mortally wounded by the Baltimore mob on the fatal Friday, as ho lay upnn the floor, where he was blcediug lo death, ' ] notwithstanding every effort was made , j to save him. An instant before be ex- 1 i pircd, he rose straggling with death, and standing erect, he fixed his glassy eye* ! upon every person in the room, and rai- ! sing his right hand, he exclaimed wilh a j dear voice : "All hail to the Stars and j Siripes I" Ssying this. he Seel hock in- 1 to tbo arms of the physician and expired. , 1 This patriotic declaration of the dying ; man so thrilled the lookers on ibnt nil i but his immediate attendants turned si- | lently owuy, although many of tlleto were stained with the blood of the dcj ccoacd, J AdveilLc iu the

Attached to the li»l is the folioning ; "The prisoners now at Richmond seem determined to put the best face on the | matter, and make things as easy ua possible j for card other. With this view they have Organized a "Richmond Prison Associuj tioo." Hon. Mr. Ely is tlin chairman, and ' Mr. Huston acts ax secretary. The Assn. | nation is tahdivided into Sanitary CoinI mitlces.

Wo enntinned lo act fire to house after house, until all were in flame* ^ . within and below the fortification. A portion of the eavalry companies were then detailed to complete the barning above tlin fortifications, which they did, and thou covered the retreat of the infantry to camp about ihrce miles distant. Tbo town was most effect ii ally burned, and I feel sure t hut • no person was berot, though It was about midnight. the new generals. Of the three new major generals for the regular service. n!4 were formerly officers of thonrtm — McClellyL Ilulleck, and Free, munt.
