Can There lie icsu-c? From the Chie,' Pot. Dec. 2."th' What are ilio causes oi'the war? Is it possible, under ail' condition of things, to biiug it to a ckV without first destroying the nation? From time immemorial there have be1 wars, and yet the end was a pa ice at, i" a majority of cases, might nevjr have been broken, and yet left things & they were at the end of long and bloody

contests. The wars between England and Fiance dated back to a very remote day, and yet, with the e xception of a very empty title, France trnd Great Britain remained tiiritorially,, intact. Some changes have taken p'.aeo in their colonies, and islands have been exchanged, but within tbe boundaries of the ancient realms each yet preserves her national power. What, then, was ever accomplished by the blood and ircr.sure expended in those wars? Nothing; and nothing will over be gained or accomplished by war that may not be accomplished by peaceful means, if the minds of the people cm only be relieveJ from t!.o passion and hatred of fanatical Zv-al and fury. Slavery existed in the pouthern S ales: i wi'-ikf-r in-" th niot ltrrtinc- ions. It throat i ri"d, tho opjiosilion ( Xtrc;ne mtthe thrents with tauntsan l with nrobiisi-s of niiii'shrneat.

When Co n gress shall be putsuaded that hitory furnishes no example of six millions of people, educated, free and ind. -pendent, being subjugated to captivity, and ruled against their consent. When Congress shall b.: persuaded that no nation on earth lias pioved themselves powerful enough in arms or in wealth, to establish, and maintain, infinitely, a military despotism ovor six miilions of whito men accoslomed to freedomand to a representative "overn ment. When Cougie.i.i shall be jier-iiiaded that every bayonet that carries a demand for obedience to law, and to the federal government, should also carry the anrioucernent cf a religious re6pect for ihe political rights out of which the war has arisen, and a willingness to confer arnicably upon the terms' of a re adjustment of those rights.

reciprocal interests. War is tho heathen and soulless Moloch that devours, without remorse, every life and every interest that stands in the way of its imagined or proclaimed necessities. Cold pittiiess, inhuman is war iu i's best a peels. It makes children fatherless, wives widows, the rich, poor, the pooi miserable, the powerful feeble, the feeble despairing, and the world itself ever vthin which it ouht not to be to every citizen and to every interest.

But light on, light on, will be the irnpulaive cry of "politicians, of a pirants to j ofUce, of governmeJit jobbers, and contractors, and of fanatical one-idea men, both of the north and of the south. Tight ou, will be the cry of standard loyalty, until the still, small and vet sublime voice of the b:illot box shall bid battles to cease, and reason to resume its sway over the councils ol the nation. Then no broken nationality --no individuell tides to superior righteousness in the fiame-woik of hiStitutions and of society v. ill be recognized, bi't a re-united people, with one flag of national glory and strength, and one Constitution; ouo government, and one supremacy, shall become the inheritance of all our people, E.i.-5t, West, North, and South.

22 ATZ OX Washington, Jan. 1. BY TIII ri'.EsIDNET OF THE UNITED STATE9 OF AMERICA: If Jiereas, On the 22 day of September, in the year of our Lord, 162, a proclamation was issued by tho President of ih United States, coi taming, among other thing--, ti e ibllowing, to v t: That on the 1st day of January, iu the year of our Lord one thousand eiglu hundred and sixty three, all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall

then be in lebellion against the United States shall be henceforth and foiever free; and the Executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do r.o act or acts to repres such person-, or any of them in any iflort they may make for tin ir actual freedom; that the Executive wdl, on tho lirst day of January aforesaid, Usue a proclamation designating the States and parts of Slates, if any in which ihe pe pie therein respectively shall then be in rebellion against ihe Uni- ' ted States: and the fact that any iState, or tho people thereof, shall on lhat day be in good fuitli represented in he Congress of ihe Uiiiud Staus by rr. embers chosen thereto at elections wherein a mnjority ol lb tiu-iülied voters ofsueh States shall Lave participated, shall iu the absence ol strong countervailing testimony , oe ueeaii. . i -i ...

And by virtue of the power and for the purpose afor.'faid, I do order and declare lhat all persons held as slaves within designated States, and parts of States, arc and henceforward shall be free, and that the Executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities theieo', wi.l recognize and maintain the freedom of the said pe.sons; and I hereby enjoin upon the people so declared free to abstain from all violence, unless in necessary self defense, and 1 recommend to them in allcas. s, where allowed, to labor faithfully ior reasonable wages; and I furthei declare ami make known that such persons oi suitable conditin will be received into the aimed service of the United States, to gareisi n forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts in said -service. And upon this sincerely believed to le an act of justice, warrenicd by the Constitution, upon military necessity, I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind and lhe gracious favor of Almighty God. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and paused the seal of the United States lo be affixed.

Orplietss V. Eicrr Oil Cotacxisaicd jhiiaiii'ipiition, Yau hfive undoubtedly read the Abe L.

piper my boy, in the reliable morning! jomuHis, iiiu-uuB anoyance ior inc , typographical outrages committed by the, pi inters of oppesite politics; but there was one portion of it gotten up for the honest Abe by the chaplain A the mackerel brig ade, and tins portion is so mutilated in tl e publishing that I cannot refrain from gi . ing the true version. Speaking of the cost to the tountrv tf emancipation with compensation, the Chaplain wrote: Certainly it is not so easy to pay some thing as it is to pay nothing; but il is eas ier to pay a small sum than it is to pay a large sum; ana ii i eaer to pa any when we nave me moi.ey man u i to p: a smaller bill when we h :ive no money. Uompe.isateu cmanc.patton re4uir no mote moiipy than would be iiece-s ry lo tho progress of remunei'ted enfranchisement, which would not close before ihe end of live hundred years. At that timet we hall undoubtedly hve live hundred times ;ts many people aa we have now; 1rovided that no one dies in the meantime; and Mtppoting tlie premium or, gold to crease in tho same ralioas ,i has ineivased since our last census was liken; ihe pre mium on the specie belonging to five hundreu time ; our preani p .p...a-,ioa ui.i amply sufficient lo pay fur all perrons of African descent. I do not state this inconsiderately. At the 6ame iatio of increase as we now realiz", Ainerlcan gdd will soon be worth more than all Europe. We have tei million nine hundred and sixty three thousand miles, while Eutopo has three millions eight hut.dred thousand, and yet tho average premium on specie, in some of tlie Slate--, is already above that of Europe. Taking the brokers in ihe aggregate, 1 lind that if one jo!d dollar is worth 1 o0 in one year It will be worth S2 00 in 2 years. h .. l. 3 ;,q . 3 14 G o'J This shows a great inerea-e. If a gold do'.Iar is worth $G 5') in live ears, it will of course, be worth $:.2ü'), or five hun died times as much, in five hundred years. Thus when our population is five hundred times as great as at pre ent, supposing CTeh man to have a siegle gold dollar, lhe premium f $d,. L) on his gold dollar, will enable such a man to purchase thirty-two ;ui ci i an oei.-Non oi aiuu.m ucwl-ih nviu the loyal slave owners ol our border Stales, at $1 apiece, though he would bo virtuallp expending but Si himself. 'This scheme of emancipation w ould certainly make the war shorter than it now has a piospict of Ivirg; in a word, it shows thai a dollar will be much harder to pa for the war than will be a dollar for emancipation on the proposed plan," Vou will observe, my boy, that this same great mathematical idea is advanced in tho message as it is printed; but our honest Abe has chosen to vary the terms somewhat. If you have a gold dollar my boy, salt it down for five hindied yea is, and soute future generation of ollVpring will call you blesed for leaving them 3 250 in postage stamps. New York Sun day Mercury. Jcir. l)ais on flutter. Philadelphia. Dec. 27. The Press publishes what purports to be a retaliatory proclamation of Je if. Davis. It is over a column long. Gen. Butler and ! all his officers are lo be hung it' taken. All sohliers tak n pri-o,.ers are to be parole.l. Negroes found will; guns in their hands are to be imm. d atcly hung. Fedeial officers found with edayes arc also to be hung. Davis declares Butler a felon, d serving capital punishment, and orders lint he no longer be considered or treated as a pub lie enemy, but as an outlaw and a common enemy of mankind, and when enp tured the. officer capturing him will immediately hang him; also, that no commissioned United SiaUs olTicer taken shall be released on parole before exchanged, until Butler shall have met punishment for his crimes; and lhat all commissioned officers in tho command of Butler be declared not entitled t be considered a9 soldiers engaged in honorable warfare, but robbers and criminals, deserving death, and that each ot them, whenever captured, be reserved for execution. The proclamation is datevl Richmond, Dec. 2:;d. New York, Pec. 27. The following arc Davi allegations against Gen.
