PersonalAfter
an interval of four or live weeks, dun
ing which time we liave been confined by illness,
we arc permitted to resume our editoiial duties.
Whatever deficiencies inny have been
observed in this department, we trust will be
oveilooked by our readers. We hope to make
our paper, throughout the present year, notwith
standing the many obstacles incident to
the war, a welcome visitant to -our pations,
with whom we have held weekly intercomse
.'for sii successive years.

9 Our Mall Facilities.
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. Nothing i
Ik mitl about tlic loute to Charloltee, via Moiiioc,

The President's Message.
We | uI 1111 on another column a synopsis of
the Vle?.->age ot President Davis to Congics*.?
This document will he read with.more iluu the
usual iuteieal, und the people of liie Confederacy
cannot hut feci highly gratified at the com*
p natively piospeiotm condition in which our
puUtic ull.uiMiov represented hv the 1'iesideut.
Coiupaicd with the Message delivered to CongieiiA
one year ago, there will he observed a
Milking coutiaat in tone and apiril: Then was
the darkest hour of the devolution?our arum
had recently met with sciious ami repeated rcvernea,
and the President, in his Min-age, in<
Mead of endeavoring to conceal fioiu the people
the liue condition of thing*, aa our cnciiiica
have done under similar ciicuiiiiUncea, ac*
v(iuntited them with the full measure of their
disasters, eiprcssing at the name time the con/ulriit
heiiel that, with proper energy on our
pait and atiim icliin.cc upon Almighty God,
the cause would ultimately succeed. Now the

M< t'lellmi and 1'ope. Tins he dnoa in no terms
of empty tlOaalmg, but as one eoiiscious of
strength and piofoundly impressed with the
favorable prospects before us.
The l'rc-ident eipreuses the confident belief
that this in the closing year of the war. This 1
picdieiion, coming froui the source which it 1
docs, will be hailed with delight by a people <
who have so long experienced the iiiconveni* |
encea and liauUhip* >H one of the most terrible I
wars known to history ; and the prospect of an |

Our State Legislature wax appointed to com I

from the business disposed of at the first part
of the Session, and tiie business still before (he

that the Session was not more than half

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*.
Adequate taxation is recommended; alio,
he issue of bonds, to be guaranteed by the *
Rates. |

ssued by the President, embrace* a cumirebensive
review of the whole internal .
aid external relations of thu country. It is
