Washington, October, IG.—Fel low Citizens of the Senate and House of Representatives ; The ad journment of the last Congress, without making appropriations for the support of the army tor the pres ent, fiscal year, has rendered necessa ry the suspension of payments to the officers and men of sums due them for services rendered after the 30th day of January last. The army by virtue of statutes which pro scribe its number, regulate its organ ization and employment, and which tix the pay of its officers and men, and declare their right to receive the same at stated periords. These stat utes, however, do not authorize the payment of troops in the absence of specific appropriations, therefore, the Constitution has wisely provided that no money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in consequence of ap propriations made by law, and it has also been declared by statute that no department of the Government shall expend in any one fiscal year a sum in excess of appropriations made by Congress for that fiscal year. We have, therefore, an army in service authorized by law and entitled to be paid, but no funds available for that purpose. It may also be said as an additional incentive to pijpmpt action by Congress, that since* the commencement of the fiscal year, the army, though without pay, has been constantly and actively employed in arduous and dangerous service, in the performance of which both offi cers and men have discharged their duty with fidelity and courage, and without complaint. These circum stances, in my judgment, constitute an extraordinary occasion requiring that Congress be convened in advance of the time prescribed by law for your meeting in regular session. The importance of speedy action on the part of Congress is so manifest, that I venture to suggest the proprie ty of making the necessary appro priations for the support of the ar my for the current year, at its pre sent maximum numerical strength of 25,000 men, leaving for future con sideration all questions relating to in crease or decrease of the number of enlisted men. In the event of the re duct ion of the army by subsequent legislation, during the fiscal year the excess of appropriation could not be expended, and in the event of its en largement, the additional sum re quired for the payment of the extra force could be provided in due time. It would be unjust to the troops now in the service, and whose pay is already in arrears, if payment to them should be further post poned nil til after Congress shall have consid ered all the questions likely to arise in the effort to fix a proper limit to the strength of the army. Estimates of appropriations for the support of the military establishment for the fiscal year ending June 30tb, 18G8, were transmitted to Congress by the former Secretary of the Treas ury at the opening of its session ifito December last. These est iunites mod ified by the present Secretary, so as conform to the present requirement, are now renewed, amounting to $32, 436/794,98, and having been trans mitted to both houses of Congress are submitted for your consideration. There is also required by the Na vy Department $2,003,861.27. This sum is made up ot $1,440, 688.19 due to officers and enliste 1 men for the last quarter of the last fiscal year, $311,953.50 due to officers and en listed men for the la-t quarter of the last fiscal year, $311,953.50 due for advances made by the fiscal agent ol the government in London, for the support of the foreign service, 850,- 000 due to the naval hospital fund, $150,000 due for arrearage of pay to officers, and $45,219,58 for the sup port of the marine corps. There will also be needed an appropriation of $262,535,52 to defray the unset tled expenses of the United States Courts for the fiscal year ending June 30th last, now due to attorneys clerks, commissioners and marshals, for rent of court rooms, support of prisons and other deficiencies. A part of the building of the In terior Department was destroyed by fire on the 24th of last month Some immediate repairs unu temporary structures have, in consequence, be come necessary, estimates for which THOM ASTON, GA.. SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 27, 1877. will he transmitted to Congress im mediately, and an appropriation of the requisite funds is respectfully commended. The Secretary of the Treasury will communicate to Congress, in “con nection with estimates for appro priations tor the current fiscal year, estimates for such other deficiencies in the different branches oPthe pub lic service as requires immediate ae* tion, and cannot, without inconven ience, be postponed until the regular session. 1 take this opportunity also to in vite your attention to the propriety of adopting at your present session necessary legislation to enable the people of the United States to parti cipate in the advantages of the In ternational Exhibition of Agricul ture, Industry and Fine Arts, which is to be held in Paris in 1878, and in which this government of France to take part. This ‘invitation was communicated to this government in Mav, 1876, by the Minister of France at this Capital, and a <eopy tnereof submitted to the proper committees of Congress at its last session, but no action was taken upon the sub ject. The Department of State has received many letters from various parts of the country expressinga de sire to participate in the exhibition, and numerous applications of a sim ilar nature have also been made at the l nited States Legation at Paris. The Department of State has also re ceived official advices of a strong de sire on the part of the French gov ernment that the United States should participate in this enterprise, and space has hitherto been, and is still reserved, in the exhibition build ings for the use of exhibitors of the United States, to the •exclusion of other parties who have been appli cants therefor. In order that our in dustries may be properly represen ted at the exhibition an appropria tion will be needed for the payment of the salaries and expenses of com missioners, for the transportation of goods, and for other purposes in con nection with the object m view, and as May next is the time fixed for tin* opening of tin* exhibition, if our cit izens are to share the advantages of this international competion for the trade of other nations, the necessity of immediate action is apparent. To enabie us to co-operate in the inter national exhibition which was held in Vienna, m 1873, Congress then passed a joint resolution making ap propriation of $200,000, and author izing the President to appoint a cer tain number of practical artisans and scientific men who should attend the exhibition and report their proceed ing, and observation to him. Pro \ision was also made for the appoint ment of a number of honorary com missioners. I have felt that prompt action by Congress in accepting the invitation of the government of France is of so much interest to the people of this country, and so suita ble to the cordial relations between the governments of the two coun tries, that the subject might proper ly be presented for attention at your present session. The government of Sweden and Norway has addressed an official in vitation to this government to take part in the international prison Con gress to be held at Stockholm next year. Tne problem which this Con gress proposes to study how to dim inish crime—is one in which all civ ilized nations have an interest in common, and the Congress of Stock holm seems likely to prove the most important convention ever held for the study of this graye question. Lender authority of the joint resolu tion of Congress, approved Februa ry 15th, 1873, a commissioner was appointed by my predecessor to rep resent the Linited States upon that occasion, and the prison congress having been, at the earnest desire of the Swcedish government, postpon ed to 1878, this commission was re newed by me. An approppriation of SB,OOO was made in the sundry civil service act of 1875 to meet the expenses of the commissioner. Ire commend the reappropriation of that sum for the same purpose, former ap propriations having been covered in to the treasury, and being no long er available for that purpose with out further action by Congress. The subject is brought to your attention at this time m view of the circum stances which render it highly de sirablcthat the commissioner should proceed to the discharge of his im portant duties immediately. As the several acts of Congress, providing for detailed reports from the different departments of the gov eminent require their submission at the beginning of the regular annual session, I defer until that time any further reference to subjects of pub lic interest.

JACKSON—TH E VAIN EFFORTS OK A NORTHERN RIFLE MAN TO SLAY THE SILFNT HERO OF MANASSAS—A STRANGE UEMiNIS CEXCE OF THE WILDERNESS. From the Detroit Free Press. That was an awful day when that Confederate Lon, Stonewall Jackson, crept upon poor Hooker hidden in the Wild erncas. Lee on one side— Jackson on the other, and the woods around Chancellorsvilie shook and trembled, and were almost swept from the face of the earth by the whirring round shot, the hissing shell and the rcreaming .rape-shot. Men were struck stone dead as the battle line advanced or retreated. Whi to-faced recruits and bronze— faced veterans were torn to fragments and hurled against the living. Wounded men fell in their tracks to be crushed in the eaith by the great limbs cut from trees by shot and shell The roar of guns, the crackle of musketry the fierce shouts and aw ful groans made such a hell upon earth of that battle-field as was ever seen before or after. Fighting Joe Hooker was in box but not a man in his great army dreamed tha* it was so until the long gray line of Stonewall Jackson came creeping through the quiet forest at three o’clock on that ever to be re membered 2d day of May, 18G3. Light earth-works had been thrown up to face the other way, towards Lee. All lines faced Lee, all men were looking Lee, when three divi sions of Confederates, moving with soft step, took Hooker’s army in the rear and drove one brigade pel 1 mcll into and over another until veteran soldiers were without strength or presence of mind. That awful night when THE WOUNDED WERE BEING BURIED ALIVE in the woods, and the dead were thicker than the leaves just broaden ing in the full life, a report ran through the recognized ranks that the great Stonewall Jackson had been killed. Thousands believed it, but three of us, lying side by side in the new battle line born after night came down, put no faith in the ru mor. Why we did not is what I started to write about. Stuart's cavalry had been follow ing up Hooker’s army, but it was not like a rat following in the footsteps of a horse. Lee was so far away, and coining up so slowly that Hooker had time to throw up light earth works, seize the best ground, fell trees to protect Lis flanks, and make ready to shatter and hurl back tli e expected attack. On the second day of May his soldiers, hidden in the woods or lying in the fields, washed their clothing wrote letters home made comfortable beds for themselves and were not in the least trouble about wluit an other week would bring forth, as a deep river suddenly bends to avoid a bluff, so did that great army of Lee’s bend to avoid the Wilderness. It split in two to attack at a given our on both sides, and Hooker sat in his tent and con gratulated himself on his impregna ble position—considered impregnable by him when two great highways ran along the rear of half of his army. 8o universal was the feeling of sccur ity that soon after noon three infan trymen started out to BEG, BUY OR FORAGE FOOD. Sigel’s crop was on Hooker’s ivest Hank, and commanded that day by Howard. Part of this crops faced the old turnpike and plank road, part faced the other way. Most of the men were hidden m the woods and behind ridges, and up the broad highways which should have been firrt looked to Stuart was pushing his cavalry men as skirmishers. We three men were beyond Sigcl,s crops and on the point of entering a farm house from which everybody had lied, when, less than riilo-shot away, ive caught sight of the Confederate advance. The cavalrymen advanc ing slowly, evidently expecting to find a heavy guard at some point, hut at the time we imagined that less than a regiment of Stuart’s men were feeling along up to pick up straglcrs, locate positions, e it. We at least did not fear them, and the proposition to enter the house and secure a better view of the roads spee dily conveyed us to a chamber win dow. We could see but little more from that post, but we did see, soon after reaching it, THAT SAME STONEWALL JACKSON from shelter out upon the turnpike in full view* attended only by two or four officers. He had come out to make observations. Like a cat be fore she destroys the mouse, be was wondering at what point he should strike to disable his yictem soonest. Grim-minded, and sour-tempered was the third man of us, and war’s horrors delighted, him. When he had taken the second look at the lit tle party sitting their horses in the open road, a wicked smile crossed his face, and he whispered: “By the hundred gods of the hea then! but that chap there on the left there is old Stonewall Jackson, and I’m going to drop him! ’ Old Pete, our sour-tempered com panion had a first-class Minie rifle with him. He had carried it for several months, some way escaping the attention of the inspector, and in some way always secured amuni— tion for it. I saw him, in at least in half dozen instances, shoot down videtts or skirmishers who seemed to ibe half a mile away, and he was I known fro lgiiout the regiment as a I dead :h. t. Th re was considerable firing | around us fiom foragers, straglers and men cK-a ling their guns, and a shot from the window might not at tract peculiar attention. Resting the heavy guns across the* window sill, and having as steals - re t as hunter ever asked for. “Old Pete’’ was ready to keep his word. FT SEEMED LIKE COLD-BLOODED AS SASSINATION. I could almost count the buttons on Jackson,B coat and there see me 1 no escape for him. 1 was watching him when the rifle cracked. lie had a field-glass to his eye, and the only movement we could see was a quick morion of the head, as if the bullet had cut close to his ear. The glass not even lowered. “Old Pete’’ swore a terrible long strum of oaths as lie realized his failure, but in a minute was ready again. “1 l*n>e never to draw another breath if I don't kill him stone dead!’’ he muttered ns he knelt down. Jack son did not face us as before, yet was a good mark for a musket. We watched him as before, and this time the bullet must have swept past his face, as he dodged his head back wards. The glass was down then, but he raised it in a.i instant and went on with his survey. “Have I got to be a fool? or have I grown blind?” howled “Old Pete,” as he looked down upon his unharm ed victem. I’ll kill him this tune, or shoot myself in this chamber?” It was dangerous to remain there longer, as the cavalry had crept near er and Jackson's aides seemed to have got the idea that a sharpshoot er was posted near by. Yet “Old Pete” would have had a third shot if the Confederates had been in the house. TI r E TARGET WAS AS FAIR AS BE FORE. He took a more careful aim, and yet when he fired he saw splinters lly from a railway over beyond the Gen eral. The cavalrymen were tnen up on us, and our two muskets were lost in the hurried flight from the house. Half an hour after that Jackson was driving our brigades and divisions as he willed. “I'll measure of the same distance shoot off-hand, and bet my life that I can hit a soldier’s cap nine times out of ten!” growled “Old Pete” as he hurried forward, and suddenly overcome bv indignation and chagriu lie battered bis cher ished guu against a tree and destroy ed it. As if seeking personal revenge, Jackson’s legions passed right by us. The nearest brigade of JSigel’s crops was picked up and dashed to pieces as u strong men would lift and hurl a child. Running along with the amazed and frightened men, but bearing off towards our own division we picked up other muskets to re place our lost ones. Reaching a knoll from which we had another view of the turnpike, we halted for a last look, over the heads of the frightened fleeing soldiers—over the ground strewn with arms and accou trements —over the blue smoke just beginning to rise. M E SAM' JACKSON AGAIN. He was far away, but it was Jack son. “Curse him! but he ha? got a guar dian angel,” howled Old Pete as he shook his first toward the turn pike- No other man ever had a ride drawn on him at such fair range and escaped three cool, carefully aimed bullets. Ills escape sent a thrill of supersticion through each mind, and from that hour to this moment,when the news of Jackson’s death reached us, “old Pete” never spoke a word. It, was a puzzle that he could never solve. As we lay in line, every mus ket barrel still hot, and every eye peering through darkness to catch sight of the gray lide coming again, an aide came hurrying along and shouted out: “We’re all right boys; Stonewall Jackson lias been killed up the road there.” “Old Pete” leaped up, whirled around to face the bearer of the news and savagely shouted buck: “You lie? you lie! you he! Stone wall Jackson can’t be hurt by shell or killled by bullet!’’ BUT IT WAS SO. Lving in the arms of those who loved him so near us that the cries of our wounded must have reached his ears, was the mortally wounded General, whose skill and strength had no match. \\ bile the white faced dead looked up to the torn and shattered forest trees —while the wounded crawled here and there in their awful agony—while the living looked into each other’ anxious faces and wondered if another night would tind any of us there, the legions of Jack-son were strangely silent. Now and then came the sudden boom of some great gun, sounding like a deep groan of despair, but there was noth ing more to break the silence. \\ bile men rested m the line of battle, hav ing the awful horror of war on every side there was one who gave up his life as he whispered, “Let us pass over the river and rest under the shade of the trees. ” Men who cau’t tcH a rutabagaa from an old Lin pan are now at the ; country fairs, and begin, their ora tions with ‘ *'felloM r -j aimers.” All the E:\ptiun cities are .tapidly growing. „ , “Well, my son you have got into grammar have you?’’ sai 1 a pi mi sire to his thickest chip the otlic; night “Let me hear you compan some adjective.” Chip.—“ All right.

[From the Atlanta Daily Constitution, July 4, 1874.] There is no point t hat a newspaper should more sacredly guard, o- that carries more responsibility with it than its recommendation of articles adver tised in its ccluirms. What is often a merely care less or i 1-ad vised “puff” misleads thousand of read ers, who, taking it for a deliberate endorsement of the arti-de advertised, are zed into purchasing what is really worthless, or worse than worthless. ESPECIALLY OUIMINAL IS THIS PRACTICE. of underserved puffery, where the article advertised is one upon the worthless of which depends the health, life and happiness of the person who tries it. No more reprehensible crime can lie committed than that of giving the commendation of a great journal to a quack mediciue or treatment, that will not only fail to give the relief it d-ludes the patent into hoping for, but will even fill his system with poison and bring him to his grave. The Constitution is fully aware of the responsi bility that rests upon the endorsement of a medicine upon which depends the health and even lives of many of i's readers. It would not lead the hum blest of them to devote their money to the pur chase of a trifling nostrum, and wreck their lives in the delusion that they are curing themselves. We do not hesitate however, to endorse to those who need such u thing, as the AMERICAN OPIUM ANTIDOTE, advertised by Mr. B. M. Woolley, of this city We have exhausted every possible means of determin ing its efficacy, except the one test of a personal tri al. Mr. Woolleys has been selling it for some time, and has, of course, received thousands of letters di rect from parties who are using it. We spent a morning with these letters, selecting specimens at random from the mass that was submitted to our inspection, such as the authors of them would per mit to be examined this way. Mr. W. was quite particular, on th ; s point, and* he said manv letters were perfectly sacr-diy private. We tound that they come from all the States of the Union—from men in high position and men of no position at all from physicians, scholars, women and unlearned ruen—’ rom all sorts of people, in fact. The stories told in those letters are truly wonderful. They re cord almost unanimously cures effected in a mar velously short time, and with permanent effect. THEIR UTTER S NORITY AND TKUTHFCLNEBS cannot be doubted. They come direct from person who testify of the f r own krowledge and experience. They are tilled with an express! >n of gratitude that is as honest, as it must bg pie sant to Mr. Woolley. The record they contain is, as we have sai 1 before, tru y wonderful. If the e letters could be publish ed to-day, they would convince beyond cavil, any man. woman or child, that is •offering from this terrible habit. Many of them give tin- story of of ten repeated trials of nostrums advertised to per form. the record of failure, disappointment, crush ed hopes, sometimes death, resulting from the use of their preparation, is truly sickening. We left Mr. Woolley’s room after reading a score or so of the letters he submitted to us. feeling perfectly safe in endorsing to the last degree the marvellous An tidote that he is offering to the world. A STILL STRONGER PROOF. But if the above did not satisfy any one, Mr. Woolley offers still another proof— a proof that is simply perfect. There are certain so-called chemists throughout the country whose knowledge is limited, whose pre tensions are false, and whose en lorsement ran le purchased witn a small sum of money These quacks are often resorted to by medicine vendors, and their endorsement paraded, with a string of titles to which they are not ent.ted, of a preparation Of which they know nothiug. Mr. Woolley*, confident of the virtues of his Anti dote, and scorning such methods as this, did not pursue such a course, but going directly to the best and moat famous chemist in the South, laid his An tidote before him. Prof. W. J, Land, the chemist consulted, is a man whose name is familiar to scien tist everywhere in America and is respected in Eu rope. His learning is profound. This the State chemist. All the money in the world could not buy of him a false opinion. He is an earnest, devoted, ssonsciention scholar, and a gentleman without re proach. Read what he says of this Antidote : WHAT PROF. W. J. LAND, GEORG’V STATE CHEMIST. SAYS I Atlanta, Oa., July 36, 1870. This will certify that I have made a through ehem leal examination of several of the best “Opium An tidotes” now offered to the public, and among these a superior preparation submitted by Captain B. M Woolley, of this city. The latter Antidote I find equal—and in some respects, superior—to any which I have aualyzed. Indeed, I have been agreeably surpsised at the excellence of this preparation It is compounded in a scientific manner, and is a per fect cure for the “opium habit,” where the direc tions are duly observed by the patient. The numer ous cures which he has made leave no doubt on this point ; hence, I do not hesitate in recommending his article to the afflicted. Captain W deserves cred it for the ingenuity and perseverance displayed in getting up the b**t remedy of this class. Most respectfully, Wm. J. Land, Analytical Chemist. But beyond all this mb. Woolley’s personal Charac er is such as to give confidence to those who need the medicine he advertises. He is a man of unques tioned character. There • * not him: of the impostor, or the ea *eless man about h ; m. He is honest, sincere, and fully ac quainted with the .übject be treats. He would not mislead any man living. We have known him for years, and have found him always a high-ton“d, honorable man. His w ord is good with those who know him. ( To be continued.) POLITICAL. Both caucuses, apjiointcil committees, to revise tie s amltug and select com mittees of the Senate. The Demo* crat’a claim i creased repres ulation on the committees, on acoirit ofiacreacsd numerical strength in the Senate. After hearing the President's rnesage Senator Bayard said he did not soe how the President cou*d have sai 1 what he had to say more circumspectly, and that it was a gieal relief to got a mes sage which did neither violence to the spirit of the Com titu.ioa nor the rules o. i-yutax. We aie giad to sec the introduction, by Representative Beck of a bill to n movu all disabilities iiupovd by fourteenth amendment. Another bill to rep-ail he act of which h itched the iron clad oath, has beeu introduced. We hope both will become laws. Iu the Republican Senatorial caucus one of the staudard He pu lieu ns relieved himself vigorously. “Some of us are getting too d—d conscientious.” The remark was aimed at Edmunds, who had indicated that he would vote for the Democrat contestants. If the Democrats have a chance they will introduce a resolution to repeal tho Resumption Act. Elam and Robcrtsou, Democrats of Louisian:!, have been sworn in and took the modified oath. The Silver Com mission have at last their report. It is lengty and interesting. A circular is being distributed couti dentally among members giving what to be a list of several forgeries commit* ted by Fernando Wood when Mayor of New York. Its issuance at this time is supposed to be to deter Randall from making him Chirmau of the Ways and Mean Committee. John Sherman, in his estimates forde dedciences, asks for SO,OOO to pay ex. peases of the detection of counterfeit ers which in point of fact is intended to tie used to defray the expenses of Hayes’ Louisiana Commission*. Politicians of both parties at Wash* ingtou agree that Pennsylvania is ccr* tain to go Democratic next month. Tho D mocrats claim 25,000 majority, and the Repulicans concede 15,0 K). The Republican members from the rural dis tricts bring doleful accounts of demoral ization. Ex-Representative Meade, of New York, says it is within the bounds of probability in setting the Democratic majority in New York at 75,000. One Andrew Jackson White of Ohio claims to have in his possesion a per* sonal letter from Mi. Hayes which h likely to give assistant treasurer Stem no little trouble. But then lie is a stem winder and can readily coil him* self around any ordinary obstacle in his way. President Hayes slioud ask Sherman to resign, as his own State has repudia ed him. The Czar says iu -a recent aldrcss to his Officers that he will “remain to wit ness their deeds. We would suggest to his imperial majesty that any notary Public could do that much, and that his highness had better go home and execute, if nor deeds, a mortgage or two at any rate. Gen. Banning will probably be chair man of the military committee of the House. Eet him be dressed iu the garb of a general by way oi distinction, lie is certainly entitled to this badge of honor iftien. Brant under an old order can appear in dress uniform iu afor eign country. The extreme radic ils out west are dowu upon the President for up* pointing Gen. HarlauSupremc Judge, be cause he did not favor the 13th. amend ment. If this be true, we score one for Judge llailen, to which from liissubstc quent extreme" radicalism we had no idea he was entitled. Did he ever do any otherliberal act that would an tag onize him with Morton who is opposed to him as Judge V We pause, for a re ply- We hope Ham Rmdul will not for get Ohio in naming his committees in as much as Mr. Hayes "seems oblivious ? of that state. Gath, the correspondent of the Cin cinnati Enquirer, makes it lively for Bristow. He does not seem to think as much of Bristow as be did. PalleiMiiix < ase. Last week, the c.isc of South Car olina, Vs. John J. Patterson, was called. The defense, as stated in the pleadings, rests on the following grounds: 1. That Hampton is not Governor. 2. There was no legal court, no legal grand jury and duly elected Judges. 3. That the Chief Justice, Williard, who ordered the special term, was not the legal Chief Justice. 4. That the General Assembly which appoin ted the Committee of investigation was illegal. 5. That Chief Justice Willard. Judge Kershaw aid the grand jury conspired against the rights and liberties of Patterson, and that the indictments were the result of the conspiracy 0 r i hat he was not a fugitive from justic, 7. That the Constitution only allowed a S;a;e to demand a fugitive from a State, and that the District of Columbia, not be big a State, the Constitution did not apply, and the act of Congress, authorizing the Chief Justice to sur render fugitives. was unconstitution al and void. There is not a single ground that has any merit. They are purely lech nical and we doubt not that the tral will so declare. Owing to the length of time necessary to try the case and the engagements of the cour* the tri al was set down for the 3ist. Beilin is full of fleas.
