By the arrival of the steamship Southampton, and the mails of the : Portland, yesterday morning, we received our Ruropeen files to December 24, The papers contain some very interesting details of the sum- mery of the news of the City of Washington, tele- urophed from Newfound ead, which was pubiiched in the Hexa.p last Tucsday morning. The compi- lation, which is given cieewheze, includes a letter from the rebs! officer, Mathew F.

That portion which touclies upon State mat- ters shows how proepevous bas been the Empire | State during the lost year, notwithstanding @ tremendous war, its in which it has borne part. Ju the treasury, October 1, there waa a balance to the credit Stale of five tillions eand three ne gross receipts from tolls for the | pastseason of navigation amounted to upwards of five millions of dollars. “Our vast internal and foreign commerce has assumed proportions Sar beyond that of any former period. But for the overshadowing, gloomy olond of war, @od its heavy drafty upon the blood and treasure of our citizens. there could not be found four mil- lions of people in the eajoyment of greater hup- Pines and prosperity.” » The message, in its national becrings, is one of the most important ever issued by any State Governor of this republic. Mr. Seymour hoids that the constitution of the United States and the constitution of the State of New York are equatly sacred, and that both ave now impe- rilled; that while our so!diers are risking their lives to uphold the constitution and reavore tke Union we owe it to them that they shall aot flud, when ibey return to the duties of civil life, that “the securities of their persons, the sanctity of their hemes or the protection of their pro- perty have been ost by us while they were battling for the netional interest in a distant field of duty.” There is another point of vital importance touched upon by tlhe Governor, and that is the inequality of the present dra‘ting systems, which is alike at variance with justice and the organic law. More than two hundred thousand men pave gone trom this State to fight j for tbe national cause; but oumerous officials end other classes are exempted without the payment of an equivalent, while clarses who ought to hove been oxempted have bad to bear the brunt and hardships of war. With great propriety Mr. Seymour ob- server:—* Not only is thenational life at stake, but every personal, every family, every sacred interest tsinvolved. We must grapple with the great questions ofthe day. We must confront the dangers of our position. The trutha of our financial and military situation must not be kept back. There must be no atteumps to put down the full expression of public opinion. It must be known and heeded to enable govern- ment to manage public affairs with success. There iva yearning cesiro among ow: peuple to learn their actual condition. They demand fres disevssion.? And Mr. Seymoir discusses freely the whole subject. He begins at the be- ginning, and shows that there ate now no more natural causes of discord in the counirg than there ever were, but that in the las’ fifteen years two sectional parties have sprung up— one ia the extreme Northern sevtion of the At- Jantic coast, and the other in the extreme Southern section. And these have made negro sinvery the occasion of war, fn the face of the constitution, and contrary to the wishes and ideas of the people of the Middle and Wastern States. “We are,” says Mr. Seymour, “to look for the conser of this war in ao pervading dis- regard of the obligation: of laws aud consti- tutions; in Cisreapeos for constitutiunal au- thorities, and, above all, in the local prejudices which have grown up in two portions of the AWentic Ciates—the two ex.remes of our country—whore remote positions have mode Lem less well informed, and whose interests have made thein less considerate with regard to the condition and charester of onr whole people, than those living in the great Ceatrat and Westera sections of our Union? Mr. Sey- mour is of opinion that both eairemes must be pat down before the Cuion is restored; and in this he is entirely right. Th which cai tod to the war have hitherto rendered jt unene- monr very forcibly observes: — exeeriive and judicial de- ordi partments are gonabie to resist the righ It is equally trea- ‘al authority of either. To overt. ow the power of either department is revolution. Legislatives right, executive owes and judicie! independence are alike Disrerard for the limits of State and and the laterference of of snother, are i. al jurisdictions bt one department with the dni not ony opposed to the genivs and org aniza- tion “of our civ'l government, but they have caused disasters in the conduct of the war.” itis ably shown in the message that Stato ights o-¢ aot only guaraniced in the constitu tion. bub are czswntial to freedom: for “a con- solidated government? in this vas’ country would destroy the eevential Lome righte and liberties ofthe ;cople.” in the theory of the constitu- tion the general government is subordinate to the States; tor three-fou away from or add to its Powers, while it sannot touch a emyic right of w State.

Mr. Seymour denounses the confiscation acts, sud the Proclamations founded thervon, as being as much in violation of the coustitution as the rebellion itself, and more dangerous tw cur liberties, We canaot be sitent or atlow these practices (o become precedents. If Presidential | proclamations are above the decisions of the courts and the restraints of the constitution, then the coustitution is a mockery; ig most needed it fails. “This theory,” says Mr. Seymour, “makes the passion and anbition | of au administration antagonistic to the interest | and happiness of the people. Jt mokesthe restoration of peace the abdication of wore whom is contided the government of our coua- try.” | Not only ie Mr. Seymour sound on the rights | of the States and the rights of the individual citizen, but on ihe policy of the war. He is in favor of prosecuting it to its ntmost vigor; but Le maintains that its success has been baffled and delayed by the foolish and unconstitutional policy adopted. Tlenee be dectares:-- We must not only support the cmatitutien of the United States and maintain the rights of the Staves, but we must restore our Union as it was tefore the athrenk of the war. The assertion that (his war was the unuvotdable reanit of slavery is not only erroneous, bat it haa led to @ disastrona policy in tte prosecetion. ‘The opinion that slavory must be abolished to restore our Union creates ao antagouiiu het ween the free and lave States which Gught not vo exiat. * * * The mischievous opinion that in this contest the North we arid destroy the Sonth to save our Unier bas weck ovr eitivens at home aud destroyed coniidence ib our Buc cess abroad. But Mr. Seymour holds that the Union is in- dissoluble, and that the people ultimately will triumph alike over the radical faction of the North and the secession party of the South. Their interests will compel them to do so. “So closely.’ be says, “are the apper and lower valleys of the Mississippi bound to- gether by interest that when cotton is burned in Louisiana indian eorn is used us fuel in T- linois, The ruin of the Southern consumer brings bankruptcy upon the Nofthern producer: When the capacity of the one to buy is annihi- lated the ability of the other to produce i§ weakened or destroyed. This single instance, from many equally strong, shows that neither in a Northern nor Souther: Union can the con- flicting interests of agriculture, commerce and manufactures be adjusted.” Sueb are the sentiments put forth in the mes- sage of Governor Seymour. But there is some- thing more wanted. Engrgy of action is as essential as soundness of political doctrine to the salvation of the country. Words alone wiil not wave it. The War in the Southwest=The News from Vicksburg. ‘The news from Vicksburg, although no Inter, isexciting. It is not exactly what we should like to recelve from there; but no stronghold ean be taken without desperate fighting. Vicksburg and its approaches have been strong- ly fortified, and the rebels have concentrated @ large force in that vicinity. They intend to fight for the control of the Mississippi to the higter end. We intend todo the same. Our force under Sherman, at the last accounts, was not sufficient. Valor of the most heroic order had saved our army from agnihilation, and the endurance and pluck of the Union troops will await the arrival of reinforeements, which are, no dowht, pushing down the Mississippi and up the Yazoo to atrengthem Sherman and hia brave soldiers. {f they arrive in time Vicksburg will be ours qnd the Mississippi free. But no time isto be thrown away. We sre in hopes that McCilernand is there ere this, and that our next news will he of victory. The late defeat of the rebels in the heart of Teuncasee, though not a crushing victory over the retiring army of Genera! Bragg, is yet one of the moat fortimate events of the war since the expulsion of the rebel General Lee from Maryland. General Rosecrans, at one of the most important points, and against the most powerfi! army of the rebellion in the South- weet, bas spofted the plana and calculations of the vebel leadera for the recovery of their losses in that quarter. In his recent Southwestern tour of observa- tion Jef. Davis made a special visit to Mur- boro, and made a speech there to his fol- ca, in which he promised them that be did | 1 the sacred soi! not Intend to bande hee: nessee to ‘the Yankees,” bnt expected snecess- fully to hold it. He then passed on down to Jocksoa, the State capital of Mississippi, and Mo- to Vicksburg, and theace across to bile, and thence by way of Monty Ala.; Atlanta, Go., across Sout) to Raleigh, N. C., sad thenee to mond. This wea no holiday excursion, but one of ative and serious business on the part of the Rieh- rebellious States. That it was particularly de- voted to inquiries of and instructions to bis generals at Murfreesboro, Juckson, Vicksburg and Mobile, we are satisfied, nor can we doubt that this visit to General Bragg had much to do with his desperate efforts in the late protracted contest, not for the possossionof Murfreesboror bic for Nashville, We have every reasoa to conclude that the rebe! programme for the winter campaign in | the Southwest comprehended an aggressive syn- tem of warfore against Nashville, and a defen- sive system south of Tennessee; that Bragg was arsigned ta the task of drawing Rosecraue out of Nashville, in the oxpectation of such «4 defeat lt to his army ae would involve the loss«f the . and secure an open field and a free course cag back to the Ohio river.
