Attention is called to the advertisement
of Mr. J. H. Fayssoux, in this
day's paper. The necessities.of the country
are pressing, at this time, and as
this is the only Congressional District
irf the State in communication with
Richmond, the necessity of a prompt
response, is at once apparent. This
? appeal is not only to the patriotism but
tbe justice of the people, and we trust
the proper officers will be sustained in
their" endeavor to fill, the requisition
made on .thpm, without resort "to coer
cive measures;.

been authorised by the Secretary of War,
to raise one or more companies of negro
soldiers, under the set of Congress, Approved
on the 13th instaftt, haveissued 4hia.

in which they quote an eztraot from a
letter from Gen. Lee to Gen. Ewell, dated

will be foubd practical to raise a considerable
force in Richmond. I attach great importance
to the result of the first experience.
Nothing should be leftindoim to

be Accomplished the better." 'rt ,
The appeal oalls upon the people of Virginia
to send in snob, of their servant as
can be spared, and oaks every man iu the 1

to be raised by sending forward recruits to '

Important Meaattge from tho Presi- 3
*: tot,
Richmond, March 14.-*The Presi-*
lent addressed-an important message
'jO Congress yesterday,' -which was read
n,secret session.
. fie says that the country is now environed
with perils which it iB our duty
jalmly te contemplate. The Tecent
Military successes of the enemy have
iad' thrnatural effect *t?f" enecnj&ghrg
lim and dispiriting many^fbur people.
The oepitol of the-Confederate States
is now threatened and in greater danger
than it has heretofore during the war.
The. fact is stated without reserve, asdt
is due to tjie people, in. yhoae constancy
md courage entire trust is resposed,
md to Congress, in .whose wisdom.and
resolute spirit the people have confided*
for the adoption of. the measures .res
puredio guard them against the threatening
perils. The President states it
bo be his deliberate conviction that it is
within, our power to avert the calamities^
which menace .us and to secujtv-tke
triumph of our sacred cause. This re-5..
v. v
JUJX. is vu ee uuuuueu ujr ^uwup <?uu
resolute^ devotion of our. whole resources
of men and money in the Confederacy
to the achievement of our liberties and
independence.... We need for carrying
on the war successfully, men and supplies.for;
the army. We. have enough
of both in the. country to attain success.
For the purchase of supplier the Tyeassurymust
be. supplied^ with means.?
He recommends, for reasons staged,
that Congress devise means for making
available, all the coin in the. Confederacy,
for the purpose, of .supplying the
army. With two. millions of dollars .in
coin the armies in Virginia, and ^fqrth
Carolina can be amply supplied for the
remainder of the year. The impressment
law should be amended so as to
authorize the impressment of supplies
without making payment of valuation
at the time of impressment. This .power
is admitted to be objectionable,'but
all .objections must ylejd to. absolute
necessity. He $lso suggests that the
valuation of supplies impressed -be'at
the specie rates and that the obligations
of government ba given, for the
payment of the prices, in coin, with in:
terest, cr in kind, at the option of the
creditor.. ' . . ,, \ . ?
The President says-that the measures
passed during the 'present session fbi
KOAKm^inn o.mTj ara innnffiniarff and
L^V4 UtVUlg VU? OA AUf. (IA V AAADIIUiVtvuvj www
that he is impellea hy a profound conviction
of duty, stimulated by thefperik
which surround, our country, to urge
additional legislation on the subjeot.?
The bill for employing negroes as sol*
diers has not reacted him, though-printed
journals inform him of its passage.
Much benefit is anticipated from this
measure, though far less than would
have resulted faom its adoption .*at an
earlier date. - . - v
The' President recommends the" repeal
of all class exemptions, so as tc
strengthen our forces in the field and
abate discontent in the army. ' -The
measure most needed, hoVrfever, fiafr affording
"an effective increase of our military
bfrltog^hjfisVgeaenal inilitia law,
prescribing not only how and of what
m&terials the militia are to be organized,
but to provide" a mode of cstlfitfg 'them
out, the States -reserving the appointment
of officers. ' ~
The President strongly urges the suspension
of the 'privilege of the writ of
hrbeas corpus, and says the time-has
arrived when it in no* only advisable
and expedient, but almost indispensable
Ebr the successful* conduct of thp war.
With the prompt adoption .of' the
measures above recommehd^' with united
hearts, with a co-operation of Congress
and the people in the execution
of the laws and in defence of the country,
we may enter upon the present campaign
with- a cheerful confidence in the
result. What other resource remains
available but ah undying and unconquerable
resolve to be free ? We must
continue the struggle to a successful issue,
or make an abject,, unconditional
submission. ,,
.
The President then, informs Congress,
that in the.oourse of the.conference
at Portress Monroe,-: a suggestion
was made by one of our Commissioners
for negotiating by means of a oonven
tion oetween trie commanding ueneraie
of the armies of the two belligerents,
Lincoln did not accept the suggestion,
Subsequently, Gen. Ord asked for aa
interview with Gen. Longstreet, during
which the latter was informed thai
there might possibly be a satisfactory
adjustment of the present unhappy difficulties
by means of a Military Con
vention, Qen. Lee, according to instruction^
wrote to General -Grant or
the $nd- inst, proposing to meet hin
for a conference on tbe subject, stating
that he was invested with the requisite
authority. Gen. Grant replied that h(
had no authority to accede, to the proposed
eqnferenoe-^-ihat^ his .powers extended
only to making a convention ox
subjects purely of a military character,
Thus"it appears that the Go.vernmenl
of the United {States jriil'not make any
terms or agreement whatever Tor a ces
sation of hostilities. There remains foi
us} therefore, no choice but h continu;
ance of the contest to its filial-issue.
The President invokes attention tc
the means by which, . above all others:
we may hope to escape the calamities
that would result from failure; Prominent
aruong them is the necessity foi
for an earnest and- cordial cooperation
between all the departments of the Government,
State and Confederate, and oi
all eminent citieens throughout the Confederacy.
To the Senattfrsand Representatives
do ^he-people especially look
for encouragement and counsel. Thus
united in a common and holy cause, rising
aboye all selfish considerations and
rendering all our /meant; -and;facfliti?l
tributary to the-country's welfare,' lei
as bowsubmissiVely^d'theBfaine will
