SVc observe by an advertisement for bids lor ronveying the mails in South Carolina, published in the Smith Carolinian, that our mail 'facilities are to be curtailed. This, we believe 'to be a short-sighted policy on the part of our ' tSovcrnment. Money expended in aflb:ding the people easy access to the mails is never lost, tait is returned tenJobl in the increused Intelligence und general prospeiity ol' the nation. If retrenchment is needed, there aie many ^places whete it might be more judiciously be gun than among the mail routes of the Host Office I)epai lincnt. Our immediate section soflers in csuutucti with other portions of the State : The route from Camden to this (lace, via Flat Kock, Hanging Itock, tic., is advertised lot twice a week ; the mail to leave Camden on Monday and Thin sday ; anive here the same day, and return on Tuesduy and Fiidav. 1'he route to I'ineville is advertised lor once a week?leave Lancaster on Monday and return the next day. The loutc to Camden via Iby Creek, Liberty Hill, Ae; and the route to Jefferson, via Flint j jlidge, Ac., will remain as they aic.

W1MJAM.SON, u l.ieut. Commanding Company, t Message of President Davit. Richmond, January I I.?The .Message of President Davis wan delivered to-day. It ipcns with n view of the military poaitior. r jt affair*, which ia described an very aaii< ? factory. The fourth grant army of invasion 0 lias been defeated in Virginia, r.nd General \ Burnside has experienced the fate of his ,hree predecessors?McDowell, McClellan ind I'ope. in lha Wast, the fortunes ot ^ var have been various. Unities have been fought with fearful carnage or. both sides, ? >ul ths hopes of the enemy of any decisive tsuits have been bullied. On ths Atlantic ? oast the enemy are still confined to the t| protecting cover of their fleets. A review t| >f our history shown that the war has en- (j lered its third and last stage. The first ? effort was to restore ths Union, and has been abandoned ; the second w as to conquor J die Mouth and govern it as a dependency, jut thin, too, has proved impossible, and hat >een abandoned ; the third dekign is to de c< itroy and plunder w hat they could not nuln I) eel. If we continue the same elTbrte an in ihn first, this denign will also he defeated, T vnd we tuay confidently expect that this in i cl ,he cloning year of the war. The enemy wil! ni )Oimu neither spirit nor roaourcee for con- ei inumg it into the nest year on ae eaten, h live a aeale. We deaire peace, hut will ontinue the war at any eacritice, until our d ight to aelf government, and the aovereign* ;y and independence of the Htatee are vin. h Heated and evtabliebed. 'I Foreign relatione are then reviewed. Oor j t< right to recognition is shown by reference to the pnst history of our Stales, some of which were recognized as independent by Great Itritain in the treaty of pence of 1783, and had been previously allies in war with Franco. Win n our Commissioners demanded recognition, they were told that foreign j Governments could not decide between conflicting statements made by our Gov. eminent and that of the United States, in respect to our mutual relations, and that Kurope would simply recognize us as bel Kcicuim, una prrivrvu n strict neutrality. Till* apparent refusal to decide was in reality n decision against us, became W<? Were IIiuh unjustly deprived of diplomatic intercourse on tlic same footing as our enemies Tlie question of the blockade is discussed at length. Its invalidity is shown, as tested by the principles of the Congress of l'nris, in and the whole conduct of the neutrality of nations is slimmed up, so as to show that they have enforced all neu tral rights that affected us injuriously, and refrained from asserting those that would injure the United States. The correspondence between I lie Courts of France, Crest Hiituin and Russia is ad Verted ti . '''lie lungunge of lbs French daspatch i* construed us a formal admission of I our abil y to luainlniu our independence,' and justifies llio tiopu of an early rccogni tion. The barbaritie* coiuiuitled by Northern troops are referred to, and the action taken in relation to the atrocities committed hy (jel.erals McNeil, llutler and llilrov ex plained, and the opinion is expressed that the infatiiy of their conduct must bo shared by their superior*, w ho have in no on* instance punished the perpetration of these crimes. In icgsrd to Lincoln's proclninlion, lie says our dcleslulion is lempcrcd by profound contempt fur bis impotent rage. The net ion of the (??t erninetil will be confined lo delivering up nil commissioned officers hereafter captured in the ten State* named in the proclamation,to be tried bv the State* under law* which punish those that excite icrvile insurrection. The proclamation ia treated a* possessing great significance in a political point of view. It proves w hut aera the designs of the Republican party from the beginning, notwithstanding their illorta to conceal them by false declara ions. The proclamation i? next considered a* a funranlee ugninat the possibility of re.conduction. It is also treated, ns a confes lion of iusbility to subjugate the South, vhich Kurope will be bound to consider na Untifying our immediate recognition, and i* mi iiitiinatioii to thu people of the North hat they mutt nuhiuil to a final separation ( if the State*.
