THE HEROES THAT HAVE' DIED. I- n. The newspapers hove done their full 1 . Sahara towards heading General Raker | < -down to farae-> It Is well- that they , " shonltl do a > ; he was worthy, and hi* , ' ^ name and his fame will bg cherished and , rem em tiered In future time. So hay it | 'been with Ellsworth, so with Wintlf»;«)p. , and so wKh the ndble General Lyon. , l They hare Gfcen the subject of frrrpiout t and well deserved panegyric and enlogy , Tho nation has felt their losaand mourn- , \ ed orer their death, even though in dy- ] , I ng, they bscamc doubly famous. We 1 ( *"* would not have hud it otherwise, aud ( would not detract one iota from the , merit, gallantry, or nohlpnoss of eillier , of them. — Would to God they were li w- | ing to-day, to take part in the greet ( « straggle which moat still go on though t they \tavc died. , Hut while rememfiojMi" and cherishing the noted ones who hath yielded all upon the alter of their country,, and yot . bequeathed a legacy of honor to their .j , posterity, we would not forget tha nn- ( noted brtvo, who hare died anil made a no sign. Just e* noble, just as bravo, < in all the elements of trno manly nobil- < I Ity and be. olo bravery, as General Bo. 1 ker, fell oat of the ranks of common 1 soldiers at Ball's Bluff, and died for their country: The blood that they 1 shed, the lives that they gave, the sacri- ^ ficc that they made, were jnst.es noble * prtcious, and priceless as hip. Yet they- c Are among the nnnotefl and unrecorded ( brave. I r So of Big Bcthti, so of Wilson's | Creek, so of Bull ' Run, and wherever ! f lives have been lost and blood has been ' , shed. The same motives the same noble | purpose, the same "patriotic sacrifice was . t made by the common soldier as by the I , famous to whom we have referred. — ( l What tongues shall tell and what pen !' record, 'the heroism — heroism in its highest sense — which has bean displayed ' In Western Virginia, on weary march, 1 ^ In dismal earap, on lonely guard, In bat- ! , tie or hospital, by a multitude of. brave i , men who le^ all tho treasures of home ' and affec' kwi, nnd rounded their days by , ^ the r*cri&* of their lives? To the world they tre all unknown save as so * iijoV "hiHod," so many "pickets shot," but not to the smallor circles of which - l hey Sorujrd, a pari. Father, mother, j » i *

| sisters, brothers, neighbors, will guard | . j just os jealously the relfts they have 1 left and their memory, as a nation wifl ' i i those of Baker and Lyon. I Bat let them all be treasured by the ' ! great popular heart alike entitled* to i honor and fame. If Baker or Lyon | l were important to til* nation, if their ; loss was a calamity to the country, yet, ( as far us they were each concerned, .they gave no more than each man of the j | rank and lilo who has died. They only ! ' J gave their lives, and could do noTnore. | j So their brave men did also, and bad ! they, possessed a Baker's genius or a Lyon's military ability, they would just ^ as' readily have made the sacrifice. : Alike noble, alike brave, alike worthy , [ of « nation's gratitude and a nation'* tears, the humblest soldier in tile ranks, ' ( 1 a%the noblest general in the land. — San- j i daily lltyifter. A PHASE OF CIVIL WAR. 1 The division of families, caused by i the war, particularly in some of the bor- i | der Slates, is painfully illustrated in i two instances. A Louisville correspon- , : dent of the Cincinnati Commercial 1 1 j writes ns follows : "Captain Henry ] i „Clay, who has jiist^ received a commis- ! | ! sion as Assistant Adjutant under Brig- ' | Gen. Ilichard H'. Johnson, is a young . man of fine abilities, a If est Pointer, t < ' though not a graduate, and of undouhi- ; , cd and strong Union sentiments. His { position is a very strange one, noil oiys ' i ■ the many romantic stories of the , I day. His grandfather was tho sago of | Ashland, and his father died at Bucna , Vista. His uncle, James B. Clnv, is a , , | secessionist, now under bonds to appear | J for tri^l for treason. Another uncle, , j Thomas, in the U 8. service, is rcspon- ( j sible for (lie appearance for trial of ( j James B. Clay. A brother, Thomas | . Clay Jr., is on the sta(T of Gen. Beau- , regard. His sister's husband, with , wham young Clay resides in this City, | lately entered the U. S.' service, i with two other brothers, for the war ; j und now comes youog Harry's turn, and j , . accepts the unsolicited commission j ! which Gen. Johnson has tendered him, ( is another example; John J. Crit- | j lenden hni-mie son who is a Brigadisr- i General in the rebel service. Auoiber i i son is Brigadier General in the army for . t i^tie Union, hut holding a commission t jtrom the Stato of Kentucky. Another^ i | the rank of C'apUin in the Fctfcr- i al ormy.

1 THE PHEUBDRS HZMAOH : The first Ansiutl Message of AubaiIxm i Lincoln, wosrcaiia Congress, onTues- " day, Dee. 3rd. 18|1, and from it, we' ' t!te following extracts -and notes : j Ftllota eilizNtt of lie Senate pad Home of i ' | Hcpreeentatice*. In the midst ol uprccedented polili-*-cal troubles we hare cause of great grut1 itudo to God, for unusual good, health j and . most abundant harvests. I You will not bo surprised to learn i that, iu the peculiar exigencies of the times, our intercourse with foreign na- ! | lions has been attended with profound ( i solicitude, chiefly taming upon our oivn | I domestic affairs. A disloyal portion of- ( ; tho American people ltxvc, during the ; ( ; whole year) been eagageil in an attempt j i lo divide and destroy the Union ( i A nation which endures factious do- | j meslic division is exposed to disrespect , abroad, and one party, if not both, is . . sooner or later to invite foreign in- ] terrention.' Nations thus tempted to in- , terfcre, are not alwn*s able to resist the 1 | couh-els of seeming expediency and utt« l generous ambition, although measure* ' , adopted uuder such influences seldom j | fail to bo unfortunate and -injurious to j 1 those adopting them. . _» The disloyal citizens of-ttle" United who have offerreFthe ruin of our , country in return M r the aid and corn- , [ which thev^ltove invoked abroad, | receivetLlwis patronage and cncour- , ngement than they probably expected. , • If >t were just to. suppose, as the iusur- > grills have seemed to assume, that for- , eigu nations, in this case, discarding all , tuornl, social and treaty uliligations, , would- act solely and selfldily for the ' , most speedy restoration of commerce, , especially the acquisition of cotton, ; | those nations appear ns yet not lo lui've their way to their object more di- , redly or clearly through the destruction , than through the preservation of lite ; Union.' If we could dare to believe thaffor- : eign nat'ons are actuated by no higher , principle than this, I ant quite sure a sound argument could be made to show , that (hey can roach their oira more , readily and cosily by aiding to crush this rebellion, than by giving encouragement , •to it. Tho principle ever relied on by , tho insurgents for exciting foreign nnJ tions to hostility against tis, as already intimated. Is the embarrassment of com- : ntcrce. Those anions, however, not , . improbably saw from tho first, that it | the Union which made as well our as our domestic commerce. — They can scarcely have failed to perceive j . that the effort for disunion produces the existing difficulty, and that ono strong nation promises more durable peace and a more extensive and rollablo comment, , than can the same nation broken into hostile fragments. It is not my pur pose to review our discussions with foreign States, because, whatever might ■ their wishes or dispositions, the integrity of our country, and the stability ; j of tfnr Government, mainly dopend not j upon them, but on the loyalty, virtue, ' .patriotism and iutel'iigence of the Auter- ] i ieau people. The. correspondence itself, with the i usual reservations, is herewith submitted. ! j I venture lo hope it wdl appear that wo practised "prudence and liberality towards foreign Powers, avoiding causes 'of irritation, and with firmness main tnining our own rights aud .honor, j Since, however it is apparent that here as in every other Stale, foreign danger* necsssarily attend domestic difficulties, !. I recommend thai adequate nnd ample measure < be adopted for maintaining the public defences on every side, j' While uudor this general recoiumcuda'lion, provision for defending our sea coast lino occurs- to the mind, I also, in the same connexion, ask the attention > of Congress to our great lakes and t:v- ! , crs. It is italic veil that some foftiflca- , j lions and depots or arms auil munitions J with hurbur air.l navigation improve- !

| tuents, nil of well WlSCtcd points upon - these, would be of great imj*>riance to ! 'nine national dcfenCc and preservation, j ! I ask attention to the views of the j Secretary of War, expressed in his re- I. port upon the sumo general sgltject. I 1 I deem it of importance that the loyal re- i ! gjons of East Tennessee and Western I. North Carolina should be connected I . with Kentucky, and other faithful parts I I of the Union, by railroad. I, therefore j ' ; recommend, as a military measure, that j ' Congress provide for the construction i ; of such road as speedily as possible, j 1 Kentucky, no Jonbt, will co-operate, , nnd, through her Legislature, make the ' , mo it judicious selection of a -line. The t i northern terminus must connect with j ; some existing. railroad, and whether the I : roiite shall lie from Lexington or Xielt- > ' ' olasville to the Cumberland Gup. or ' . from Lebanon to the Tennessee line, in j the direction of Kuoxi ills, or on some ' ( still different line, can readily be deter- , mined. Kentucky and tho General ; r Government co-nperaliitjr, the work cah i a \ be completed in o very short time, and, ' •' . when done, it will be uot only ol vast 1 present usefulness, but also a valuable * permanent improvement, with its cost, in nil the future. Then follows a brief statement of sotiio treaties with loreign Powers, „ chiefly of n commercial nature ; a notice c of the detention by a U. S. vessel, of j ■ lite British ship Perthshire, iu Juuclast, < i throu£fi misapprehension of t'ic fncts, * und a recommendation of an nppropria- i ' tion to satisfy the claims of the owuers; * and some suggestions in reference to the surplus of a certain appropriation for the satisfaction of claims of Amcricap ; , : citizens against China. Reference is , also made to an act of Congrcss^jtf tho l Silt of August last,., autlforizing the > 1 ! President to iiistrnct commanders of ves- ; sel* to defend themselves nguiust pirntet,-' ' anil to capture tlioin, follcwed by a sug- J gestion of giving further authority for ( the rccaptnro of vessels of tho United , States and their cargoes from the pi- , rates, with a provision for the consular j courts in Eastern countries to udjuuicnte i snch cases, if not objected to by the lo- ' ca1 authorities. ' The President suggests that ho sees ' .no valid objection to recognizing tho in' ' dependence of Havti and Liberia, or, *j at least of supporting a charge d'affaires : near those states, nnd think* that, be- > I yond a doubt, imporlaiit commercial I advantages might be secured by favora- . blc treaties with them. I In reference to the finances, tho tucs : sage speaks as follows: ^ J The operations of the Treasury daring the period which has-elupscd since yotir adjournment have been conducted with signal success. The patriotism of | the people has placed at the disposal of : the Government the large means demanded by the pnblic exigencies. Mnclt of j tho national loan has been taken by citi- ; ; zens of the industrial classes, whose con- • i fidcnco in their country's faith and zenl i j for their country's deliverance from pro- ! j sent peril, have induced them to contrij butc to -the support of the Government j j tho whole of their limited acquisitions, i > This fact imposes peculiar obligations [ upon os to u*o economy in disburse- • : meats and energy in action. The revenne from nil sources, inclu- ' ding loans, for the financial year ending on the 30th of Jane. 1861, was $30, 835,900.k7, and the expenditures tor the ! same period, insMing payniene* on account ; of public debt, were 84,578,834.47, leav- 1 ing a balance in the Treasury, on the 1st of July, of $2,257,065.80. For the first quarter of the financial year, ending, oil the 30th of September, 1861, the 1 receipu-froin all sources, including the balance of the 1st of July, were $103,533,000,27, and the expenses $98,239,- ' 7S3 09, leaving a balance, on the 1st *f Outober, 186.1, of $4,292,776 18.

Then follows a request to pay curtaiir . ' cbxplain* of army hospitals which have employed, there being no law of Foil gross to that effec'.'nnd a suggestion of npermanent prevision fur such cam* for thefuture. The report of the Secretary of the Navy is next refered lo a* follow*: _ j 1'he repeal of the Secretary of ilni x'avjr prosetiU in detail Xln» operations of that i of the *ervice ; the activity anih | energy which l.ave clisractei izeil iu adniini.ir.it ion, ami tho re-rrli* of the measure* to increase it* efficiency and power, i Such have Uieii the adilhinut by com-rtrc-tion and purchase, that it may almost lor said a uavv ha* been: created and brought • into sorrice since our dilficultlos c tmirenCed.

The presseut organization is defective and unsatisfactory. and the suggestion* submitted by I tho department will, it i* believed, if adop' * t^d. obviate tbe difficulties ulluJvd lo, pro ! mute huruuny, und Increaso tho efficiency | of tire navy. The three vacancies in tho Supreme j Court is refered to a* follows : ; . There are three vacancies on the bench .1 of the Supreme Court, two by the dcceanrr of Justice* Daniel and Mclean, aud ono by lire resignation of Jastrce Campbell. 1 . so fur forborne making nominations Itr frit t Inure vacancios. for reason* wliicli I will uow state.

The s'atutc laws of i the country, having become so vpluminooc* ' I un entire revision of them, with a view of I patting them in a more conVenient fbrin ic ri'cummcndcii. And in coanextton with j r theso legal mailer*, the message contains | tire following, which is a subject of some in- ! terest jn tho North, at this time of ituorreclion : One of tho unavoidable cbn*ei|uence* «>f j the present insurrection is the entire sup- : prrssion in many places of all the ordinary , | mean* of administering civil JuMice by thw j office rtr in the fonn of existing low. Tliio . is tbe ca:e, in wl^elu or in park, in all theinsurgent Slate* ; and as our armies adj vante upon- and take possession of parts of | those Hiatus the practical! evil b-comet I mow apparent.
