MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT DA7IS Tu the Congress of lite Confederate Slat's Gentlemen:?My message, addressed to you at the commencement of the session ' contained such lull information ol" the state 1 of the Confederacy, as to render it unnoces ?ary that I should now do more than call your attention to such important facts as j have occurred duiing the recess, and to ! matters connected with the public defence. I have again to congratulate you on the accession of new members to our Confi de- , ration office, equal, and sovereign Slates. Our loved and honored brethren of North Carolina and Tennessee have consumma ted the action foreseen and provided for at J your last session ; and I have lia<l tbc grnti flcajion of announcing, l?v proclamation, in conformity with (ho law, that those States, were admitted into the Confederacy. The people of Virginia, al-o, l>y a mnjni ty, previously unknown in her history, have ratified thg. action of Iter Convention, uni ting her fortunes with oun. Tlie StaU'S uf Ark-insH?, N?>it!i Carol ir a nnd Virginia, Lave likonisij adopted the permanent Constitution of the Confederate fcjta'tes, and no doubt is entertained of its i adoption by Teuu?ssc.e, at t!<c election to be held early next tuontli. I deemed it advisable to direct the re moval of tbe several Executive Depart-! I rnenls, with their archives, to this city, to , which you bad removed the Scat of Gov ernment, immediately after vour adjjurn- ; meat. Tlio aggressive movements of thoj tuetny required protnpi, energetic action.! The accumulation of liis forces on the IV ; tomac sufficiently demons!ruled that bis cffortH were lol>e directed against Yiiginia; and from no point could'the nefcessnry niea aurea for her defence and protection l o so . n:..-i: i..-i ... e. i ^ IllUlCIll i v Ul'ClilUU il*i iron J IUT own cnni- , tab . ... * i The rapid progress of evi :it* lor the last j few woeks lias fully Miflietd to &ti ip (lie | veil behind which tlio true policy nnd our-j poses of tlio Government of the United State# bad been previously concealed.

Commencing, in March lasf, with the affectation of ignoring the secession of the seven States which first organized this Gov ernment; persisting, in April, in tlio Idle and absurd assumption of the existence of; a riot which was to l>a dispensed L?y a pause j comitatus ; contintfinij in successive months | the faWe representation that these States j intended an offensive war?in spite of con-, elusive evidence to the contrary, furnished j H# well by official action, as l>y tho very , ,Qp which this Gove.ument is oonstitu- ] the President of the United States' and advisers succeeded in deceiving the people jrf^hese States into the belief that the pjftpose of this Goveriftttont was not jwaoe at- home, but conquest abroad ? not the* d&feuce of it* own liberties, but the subversion of those of the people of the putted mates. ** r\Cbe series of (man cerres) by. which this jinpr^iun un created, the art with winch lU'ey re devistd, and the peifidy with were executed, are already u; but you coiHd^ scarcely have it they would be openly aVow? _ * * 17 .1 1 t* ,Y" # auucess irmae uje punjeci or boast and self laudation, in an Executive -jMgpege.

Without J!

Undercover of this unfounded pretence, that the Confederate States are the assail ants, that high functionary, after expressing his concern that soma foreign nations had so shaped their action as if they supposed the early destruction of our National Union probable, abandons all further disguise; and proposes to make this contcst a short, decisive one, by placing at the control of the Ooveveiiunent, for the work, at least 100,000 men and 400,000,000 of dullars. The Con?*ress. concurrin" in the doubt thus intimated as to the sufficiency of the forca j demanded, lias in crcascd it lo a half mil?j linn of TliosSyC-nonnom preparations in moil oud ! money, fur the conduct of the war on a ; scale more cteantic than anv which the j WorlJ e cr witnessed, is a distinctive j avowal, in the e yes of civilized man, that j the United S'atcs aio engaged in a conflict, with a groat and powerful nation. They are at laat compelled lo abandon the pre i U-ncu of being engaged in the dispersion of ! rioteisuud the suppression of insurrections,' :\nd sue dtiven to ihe acknowledgment thai i ' tiie ancient Union has -been dissolved.; They ri'(!.if[h:z! tin; sepai at o existence of I these Confederate States by iho interdiction,; by etnbargo and blockade, of all comtneicu between them and the United States, not i only in ships, hut in cais?not only with I thos? who hear arms, but with the entire I pcipuU lion of the Cotife 'erate States. Ftn I :iily,;tiuy iiav'o repudiated tlie foolish con ci.it th.it tli3 inhabitants of this Copfed? cracv are still citiz ns of the United States; for they an: waging an indiscriminate war ! upon them all with a savage feroeilj un- j known to modem civilization. In this .war j rapine is ilia rule. I'rivale residences and peacifd rural retreats are bmibavded and humid. Grain crops in the lij'd are con sumed by the torch ; and when the torch i-3 itui wiivcuiuiiii cjciieiui jauor is uo.siow^Ci I to render complete t!io destruction of every | article of use or ornament remaining in ! private dwellings, after their inhabitants) have tied from the. outrages of a brutal sol- , diery. In 1*781, Great Britain, when invading her revol ed colonies, took possession of every district of the country near Fortress Monroe now occupied by the troops of the United States, the houses then' iubabited by i he people, after being respected and pro tected by the a^ow.'d invaders, arc now pil Inge'l and destroy v-d l>y men wbo pretend th:it ibo vict'in* are their fellow citizens. Mankind will shudder to hear the tfile3 of outrages com milled ou defenceless females, I by llie sc4diers of tbo United States, now iuvading our homes; yet these outrages aro prompted l>y inflamed passions, and the madness of intoxication. But who shall depict the liorror with which thev regard the cool, deliberate malignity with w hieh, under tlio pretext of suppressing an insur rection, said by themselves* to bo upheld by a minority only of our people, they ffiake special war on tho sick, including wqjq|o and children, by carefully devined measrtije^ ! to prevent their obtaining tho ftadiciife necessary for their euro.* The sacred claims of humanity, respected even during the ; Jury ot actual battle, by a carcfil diversion of the attack from the hospital* Containing j tho wounded enemies, are outraged in cold j blqpj by a Government ard people, thai ' pretend' l</" desita tho continuance of fin? |(erual connections.

I earnestly hope this promised- ' reply, which has not yet been received, will "J convey the assurance that prisoners of war t will be treated in this unhappy contcet, ^ with that regard for hnmanity' which .has , I made such conspicuous progress in the con- j i duct of modern warfare. As measures of' precaution, however,and until the promised reply is received I still retain in cuctody some officers captured fron the enemy, whom it had been my pleasure previously to enlarge on parole, and whose fate must necessarily depend on that of prisoners held I y the cntmiy. I append a copy of my communication ! to the President and Commander-in-Chief j of the Army and Navy of the United J Slates, and of tho report of the officer ' charged to deliver it., marked 'document i A ' " ! Thero are some other passages in the I remarkable paper to which I have direc- t ted your attention, having reference, to the t peculiar relations which exist between c (I4.1S Government ar.J the States usually t termed liorder slave States, which cannot j he properly withheld from notice. j The hearts of our people are animated 1 j by sentiments towards the inhabitants of j p those Statas which found expression in ! your enactment refusing lo consider them enemies or authorising hostilties against them. That a very large portion of the people of those States regard us as'breth- i ren ; that if unrestrained by the actual ! presence of large armies, the subversion ! o'. civil authority, and the declaration of , martial law, some of them at least, would , joyfully unite with us that they are, j with almost entire unanimity opposed to i the prosecution of the war wag4<l against j us, arc facts of which daily recurring j r..11 i !.- v ;> i-ui.3 umy .wuiru'iu lhu nMseruoii. The President of the Uuited Slates re- i f-iaea to recognize in thesp, our "late sister j States, the riglit of refraining from attack f* on us; and justifies his refusal by the j assertion that the States have no other power than that reserved to them, in the Union, by the Constitution?no one of them ever having fceer. a State out of the Union. < This view of the Constitutional gela tions between the States^and the General Government,.^ an introduction to another j assertion of the message, that the Execu- | tive possesees the p'owpr of appending ? | the writ of habeas corpus, and of delega- j I ting that power to military commanders at ^ his discretion ; and both of these proposi tions claim'aYedpect et^ual to tliat which is felt for the a'dtfitidQ&l statement of opin ion in the same ' jfepor,*,ihat it ia proper, in order to execute the laws, that some sin gl$' laTv'j'made in such extreme tenderness thftAitizcns' liberty, that practically it re - liSV&'more of the guilty than t^ innocpnt should, to a very limited extent, tje vio lated. "We may wellf^oice that $8 have trover aevereJ our connection with a Government that thus tfamplea on all prin ciples of constitutional liberty, and with a people in whose presence such avowals could be hazarded. T * The ^ operations in- the field will be greatly extended, b'y reason of the policy, which, heretofore secretly entertained, is now avowed and acted 011 bv the YTnitad States. The forces hitherto raised, proved i ample for the defencfr of the seven States which originally organized tiff?

Many believe ihe supply adequate to two years' con sumption of our population. Cotiou, su gar, tobacco, forming the attrplus produc tions of our agriculture, and furi-.i.-iliinn Lhe basis of our commercial iutorchanges, present the most cheering promise; and a kind Providence has smiled on the labor which extracts the teeming wealth of our ?oil in all portions of our Confederacy. It is the more gratifying to be able to give you tliese facts because of the need;of arge and increased expenditures in sup port of our army. lulcvatcd and pu'l'ified by the sacred :auae they maintain, our fellow cilizeus of nrery Condition of life exhibit the most jelflsacrificing' 'devotion.

In the single irtielg of cotton, the subscription to the oan proposed by tho Government caunof all short of fifty million dollars, and will jrobably largely exceed that sum and icarcely an article required for tho con-? lumption of the army is provided other vise that by subscription to produce a loan 13 happily devised by your wisdom. The Secretary of the Treasury, iu the j eport submitted to you, will give you the j tmples details connected with that branch ' >f the public service, but it is not alone on j lieir prompt pecuniary contributions, that \ he noblo race of freemen who jrjhabit these | States evince: how worthy they are of hoso liberties which thoy know so well iow to defend. In numbers far exceed ng those author.zed by your laws, they iavc pressed the ter.dor of their services ! igainst the enemy. Their, attitude of :alin and sublime devotion to their coun ry, tlie cool a:i?l confident courage with vhich they are already preparing tc meet he threatened invasion, in whatever pro >ortious it may assume, the assurance that heir saciifices and their Bervices will be equired fiom year to year, with unfaUer ng purpose until they have made good to' he uttermost, their right to self-govern nent, the generous and almose uuquca ioning confidence which they display in heir Government, during the ponding itrugglc, all combino to present a specta :le such as the word has rarely, il ever, icen. To speak of subjugating such a people, >o united and determine'.!, is to speak a auguage incomprehensible to them?to esist an attack on their rights or their iberties, is with them an instinct. Whether this war shall last one, or hree, or five years', is a problem, thev eave to be solved by the enemy alone. K will lust till the enemy shall have withdrawn from their borders, fill their )oliticul 'rights, their altars, and their lomes, are freed from invasion.
