WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—The Rich
mond Ilrhig in commenting on the
message of Davis, says:, • "
" Wo are two people from this time
forward. We.are aware that the Yan
kees are determined n6t - io - quit in;
happen what may. If they cannot
ronquer us their calculation is that
they will be conquered by us, and they .
have made up . their minds to 'submit
tamely to their fate. Well, if we must,
we must,"though we shall have a great
aversion to the task. ;OUr choice
that after drubbing them soundly and
milking them pay the expense of the
war, to turn them loose upon them
selves, a prey to their own vile pas
sions."
The Richmond papers of Wednes
day contain despatelies from the con
federate army, the Substance of which
is as follows:
The small po*, 'a violent 'type of
- typhoid fever and the ,black weasels,
were prevailing among the confeder
ate troops near Bowling Green. Ky.,
and large.numbers were dying daily."
Gen.'Floyd's army has ildlen back
four miles south of Raleigh, 0. J. 1., and
the federal troops had been largely re
inforced.
Gen. Lee's cornmaild has retired to
Meadow Bluff.
The confederates report two killed
and several captured in a skirmish
during the past week in Western Aril.-
glum.
The roads are in a bad condition,
making it difficult to obtain supplies.
A despatch from Manassas in relation
to the skirmish near Falls Church
Within the past week, acknowledges
two killed and three wounded. They
claim to have killed five Federals and
taken ten prisoners.
The Richmond Tlrhig announces the
death of John N. Hughes, a delegate
to the State Convention front Ran
dolph. lie was wounded in the battle
of Rich Mount:rin."
The Richmond Examiner of Wed
nesday, confirms the report that the
rebel Col. Croghan was killed in the
recent engagement, between Floyd and
Rosecrans.
A despatch from Charleston, dated
Xciv. 17th, says the unexpected failure
of our short luttleriCs at Pay Point
and _Hilton Head to demolish at least
one of the attackiflg vessels, has sadly
shaken the popular confidence in the
cflicacy of our guns against the mons
ter frigates and iron clad gunboats
which they may have again to encoun

the sordid souls that-infest all South

trains which leave almo,t hourly tbr

In Savannah, the panic is even more
general and decided, whole neighbor

children of those - tvlio are in arms at
Fort Pulaski and the batteries on the
Savannah river.
Neff, Davis' Message to the Rebel Con-
gress.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—The. Rich-
mond papers on Wednesday, received
here, contain the, message of Jeff, Da
vis to , the rebel Congress. After the
usual congratulations, he says that the
operations of the, army seem to be par
tially in terrtnited, by, the approaching
winter, haVe, afforded a protection to
the country shed a lustre upon its
arms through the, trying i'laissitudes
of more than the arduous - campaign,
which entitle our brave' volunteers to
our praise and our gratitude,,
Further, he says, after more than
seven months of war the enemy have
only failed to extend their occupancy
of our soil, but new States and WA
tories,havc.been added to our confed
eracy, while instead, or,their threaten
ing march of,:micheeked conquest they
have been driven at. more Abell one
point,' to assuthing the . deferisive and
upon a fair comparison between the
two belligerents as to men, military
means and financial conclitien, the COn
federate States sre relatively, much
stronger now than when the struggle
pommenced.
iTo spoal s In high terms of the peo
ple of • Hissouri who haVO conducted
the war in the. face of alinost unparal
leded difficulties, with a spirit and sue
oess alike worthy of themselves and of
the great cause inWhich they are
: traggling. Finding that'the Confed
erate States were.about to be inv = aded
Aro',Kentuelty and that her Poo af
'ter heing derived into a mistaken seen
pity were Unarmed and in danger of he
j.ng subjugated by the Federal forces,
our apraies were marched into that State
to repel . the enemy and prevent their
pecupation of ccrtaiu stratii ptie poilith
;which 'would have giy.en them great
,adVantag,es in the :contest, astep
lyhich • was justified not only, by" the
'o.4,jties of- self defence or}: the part
of the confederate_ States, bat also by
a desire to aid the people of Kentucky.
It was newer int.clided by the donfeder
ate States to conquer or coerce that
State, but on the contrary it was "de
clared by our• Generals that they would
'withdraw their troops if the federal
government would do likewise. i'roc
lamation was alSo made of the desire
to respect the neutrality of Kentucky
and the intention to abide, by the
wishes of her people as soon as they
were free to express their opinions.
These declarations were approved by
me and I should regard it as one of the
best effects of the march of our troops
nip Kentucky, if it should end in giv
frig g.,9 her people liberty of choice and
a free opportunity to decide their own
klestiny according to their own will,
bo says, - thp army, has been
phiefly inst.Roento inprosecatin g the
,great .contest; the navy has also been.
Vitedare in full proportion to its mean.
He speaks of the difficulties attend,-
ing mail transportation, seine of which
can be ON;CrC01110 only bytime and 'the
improved condition of the country on
the restoration of peace, but others by
legislation. •
As 'to the financial system it has
worked well so fur, and promises•good
results for the future, By the extent
that Treasury notes may be issued, the
Government is enabled to borrow mon
ey without interest, and thus facilitate
the conduct of the war. This ex
tent is measured by the portion of the
field of circulation which these notes
can be made to occupy. The proper-,
tion of the field thus occupied depends
again upon the amount of the debts
for which they aro receivable, and when
duo not only to the Confederate and
State governments but also to corpo
rations and individuals aro payable in
this medium. A large amount of it
may be circulated at par. There is
every reason to believe that the Con-,
federate treasury note is fast becoming
such a• medium. The provision that
these notes shall be convertible :into!
confederate stock bearing eight per
cent. interest at the pleasure of the
holder insures them against a depreci
ation below the value of that stock
and no considerable fall in that value
need be feared so long as the interest
shall be punctually paid. The punc
tual payment of this interest has been
secured -by the act passed by you at
last session imposing such a rate of tax
ation as must provide sufficient means
for that purpose. Tor the' successful
prosecution of this war it is indespen
sable that the means of . transpor
ting troops and military supplies -be
furnished .far as possible in such a
manner as not to interrupt the com
mercial intercourse between our peo
ple,, nor place a check upon their pro
ductive energies.
In another , part of the message ho
says we have already two main sys
tems of through transportation from
the North to the South, one from Rich
mond along the seaboard, the other
through Western Virginia to New
Orleans. A third might be secured by
completing a link of 40 miles between
Danville in Virginia and Greenborough
in North Carolina, the construction of
this comparatively short link would
give us a thorough route from north to
south in the interior of the Confeder
ate States, and give us access to a pop
ulation and to many resources from
which we are now in a great measure
debarred. If, he says, further on, wo
husband our means and make judicions
use of our resources it would be diffi
cult to fix a limit to the period daring
which we could conduct a war against
the adversary whom we now encoun
ter. The very efforts which be makes
to isolate and invade us must exhaust
his means whilst they serve to com
plete the circle and diversify the pro
ductions of one industrial system. , The
reconstruction which he seeks to effect
by arms becomes daily more and more
impossible. Not only do the causes
which induced us to separate still exist
in full force, but they haVe been
strengthened, and whatever doubt may I
have lingered in the minds of any must
have been completely dispelled by sub-
sequent events. 'lf instead of being
a dissolution of a league it were indeed
a rebellion in which we are engaged
we must find ample vindication for the
coarse we have adopted in.the scenes
which arc now being enacted in the
United States. Our people now look
with contemptuous astonishment on
those with whom they had been so re
cently associated. They shrink with
aversion from the bare idea of renew
ing such a connection, etc., With such
t people. We may be content to live
at peace, but the separation is final and
for the independence we hive asserted
we Will accept no alternative. Davis
characterizes the nature of the hostili
ties on the Part of the 'United States
as barbarous wherever it is understood,
if they convert their soldiers into in
cendiaries and robbers and involve 'us
in a Species of war which claims non
combatants women and Children as its
Victims they must expect to be treated
its outlaws and enemies of mankind.
There aro certain rights of humanity
which are entitled to respect even in
war, and he who refuse's to re," ,, arilthem
forfeitS his claim of capture 'to be con
sidered as a,prgoner of war, but must
expect to be dealt with as all offenders
against all taw both hinuan and divine.
But not content with violating our
rights under law of nations at home,
they have extended - these - injuries to
us within other jurisdictions. The 'dis
tinguished gentlemen whom, with yoUr
approval at, last session, I commis
sioned to the Confederacy - at
certain foreign courts, Ilhre'been re
cently seized by the captain of a
Vni
ted States'. ship on board a' British
steamer, on their voyage from the neu
tral Spanish port of Havana to Eng
land. The United States have thus
claimed a general jurisdiction over the
high seas, and-by entering a British
' ship sailing under its country's flag,
violating the rights of emb,assy for most
part:held sacred even amongst,barba
rians by seizing our ministers whilst
they were under the protection and
within the dominion of a neutral nation.
These gentlemen were as much under
the jurisdiction'Of the British
. Govern=
meat upon that ship and beneath its
rihg as if they had been on its soil,'and
a eatim on' the part of the United
States to' seize them in, the streets of
London would have been as WellTpund
ed ass, that to apprehehd them where
they were taken; Traci they been Ma
lefactors
,or citizens even of the United
States, they could not' have been ar
rested on a British ship or on-British
soil nnleSs under the express provis
ions of a treaty, and aceerding to forms
therein provided for the extradition of
criminals. •
Davis speaks Of Faulkner as having
been perfidiously arrested_, and says in
conducting ; this war we have sought
no ald and proposed no alliances 'offen
siye or defensive abroad.' We have
asked for a recognized place in the
great family of nations, but in doing sp
we demanded. nothing
,fer which we
did not offer a fair equivalent. The
advantages of intercourse ;?.re mutual
among nations and in seeking to es
tablish diplornatia relations we were
only endeavoring to place this inter
course under the regulation of law.,
Perhaps we had the right if we had
chosen to piercise it to ask to know
whether the principle that blockades
to be binding must be effectual so sol
emnly announced by the great powers
of 4urope at Paris is to be generally
enforced or applied only to particular
parties, , Davis
,says he has caused the
pvidefice to be - Collectc4:, which proves
completely the
,utter inefficiency of the
proclaimed blockade of the Southern
coast, and shall direct it to be laid be
fore such governments as shall afford
the means of being . heard,, But al
though we should be benefitted, ho
continues, by the enforcement of the,
laws, so solemnly declared by the great
powers of Europe. W 9
,are not de
pendent on that enforcement for a sue
, cessful prosecution of the war. As
long as hostilities continue, the Con
, federate States will exhibit a steadily
increasing capacity to furnish their
troops with food, clothing and arms.—
If they should be fumed to forego
many of the luxuries and some of the
comforts of life, they will at least have
the consolation of knowing that they
are thus daily becoming more and
more independent of ;the rest of the
world. The message concludes as fol
lows : " While, the war which is waged
to take from us the right of self gov
ernment,-can never attain-that end,- it
remains to be seen how far it may
work. a 'revolution in• the industrial
system of the Nvorld which may carry
suffering to other lands as well as our
own. I s n the meantime we shall con
tinuo this struggle in humble depend
ence upon , Providence from whose
searching scrutiny we cannot conceal
the secrets of our hearts and to whose
rule we confidently submit our desti
nies. ,For the rest we shall depend
upon ourselves. Liberty is always
won where there exists the uncon
querable will to be free, and we have
reason to know the strength that is
given by a conscidus sense, riot only
of the magnitude but of the righteous
ness of our cause." •
An Early Movement of the Army,
.It is stated that ,General Wool, on
Tuesday, replied to au application for
furlough, that," ho would not give an
officer or private leave of ;isci - leo for
the next three we4s, as the ,oampaign
then would be over." .
The Washington correspondent of
the, World also refers to this early
movement of the troops in the follow
ing paragraphs of his letter, elated the
19th inst.:— 3
"-Disclaiming at the outset any oil
cial knowledge of the matter, and re
vealing no !hots obtained through spe
cial theilities, it may not be improper
for me to state that there are many
indications of an immediate march to
Bull Run.
"It appears very certain that the
rebels conclude to maintain their posi
tion of menace and defence within '
twenty-five ,miles of the Capitol. The
Richmond Examiner boasts to this et;
feet, and defies us to force them to do
otherwise. They are really settling
down into winter quarters, opposing a
crescent shaped line of natural and ar
tificial defences againsl our advance—
aft area of which t:e Potomac, river
forms the chord, and within whose
area the, federal army has so long hal
ted for education and enlargement.—
For the better main tainanee of the rebel
position, it is rumored that (ion. Beau
regard has returned from Charleston.
"Oar Government is fully aware of
the immense moral strength which the
Ite,bels would gain at home and abroad
if successful in holding their present
lines until another spring. It haS de
creed that they shall not hold it undis
turbed. Gen. McClellan appreciates
the,grave nature of the job to be done;
but he knows that it must be done, and
that the patient North at length calls
upon hint to do it. He sees that the
conquest of the enemy fronting him
must-precede the fate of Secession.—
The conquestinvolves a bravo, straight
forward, old-fashioned attack, in which
—whether it be crowded into one fear
ful day or. prolonged through weeks of
changeful advantages—whole battal
ions of patriot soldiers must pour oat
their life blood for the victory,
"The fact of his determining- to ad
vance is a• sure symptom of the pro
gresl we Imre made---:-not in numbers,
slume , so,ooo more men would be joy
fatly received at this -juncture, but in
discipline, training, confidence, and the
important adjuncts of artillery and
equipment, dud sustenance resources.
4, The North need not fear,the result.
This time we are going to whip them.—
We are going to fight and . conquer
them, at or near the, line from, hich
they have once driven us back, There
will be no Bull Run retreats or panics,
because this time the battle will be
iireceded by no July, disorganization,
and fought by no Centreville mob.
"as indicated this great,review is
without doubt, preliminary to agene
ral striking. of tents.. Gen. McClellan
has told the Paymaster General that
he must get through with" the bi
monthly payment, as
,the regiments
are, to leave the, neighborhord. Ex
traordinary activity prevails in the
transportation, of anununition and
stores, There are other causes for ex
pecting an immediate movement, spine
of which I cannot state, and others of
which must be seen by experienced
eyes to he understood. And I repeat
that, if. we do go forward, the public
may have confidence thatit will be to
decisive victory, r ! . ,

[Correspondence of the Evening rost,].
NEW LONDON, Ot.,
The stone fleet, not, however, with
pomp or banners, sailed ,to-day.—
Twelve or fifteen vessels departed from
this port, All bound south and all laden
with stone. The crafts were old whal
ers, some of, then of the largcpt
but a hard-looking - set. They have
spent, their lives - nudging the -icebergs,
and have been inthistrious'in their' yo
cation of seeking material to illumi
nate the world and to make life toler
able at night, to those who slept; not.
An iniinense quantity of midnight oil
have they gathered in their day.
They go now,to illustrate the ideas
of commerce which prevail in the
darker portion, girt' with sand-bars, of
our disturjed republic. A screw is
fixed in their bottom which can 'be
worked from the deck. When it is
screwed out, the water, in a stream as
big as a man's leg, comes in, and the
vessel is 'sunk. The stone anchors it
'at-the bottom.
Our fleet is to be joined outside by

on New• Bedford, which
will make the . whole' number of' the
vessels about thirty : Six thousand

GREAT BRITAIN.—The speech of Mr.
Adams, the American Minister, at the
Lord Mayor's banquet has attracted
considerable attention.
Ho was silent as to the war but very
pacific towards England.
The London Daily .21'eivs says it was
frank, manly, sensible and seasonable,
and must by Cordially welcomed by
England at large, especially as a small
but active faction is doing its utmost
to misrepresent American diplomacy
and create ill feeling.
The London Morning Post says that
speech was marked by the most friend
ly, statements respecting the good feel
ings of the American Government and
people toward England, and hopes that
no occurrence will happen to belie
these statements.
The London Times is characteristi
cally sarcastic, but at the same time
complimentary to Mr. Adams,
Dudley Mann and Yancey were
guests at the grand banquet of the
fishmongers' company in London. The
latter spoke to a toast for the restora
tion of peace in America. He spoke
strongly in defence of the Confederate
cause, and eulogized England for; her
recognition of belligerent rights.
He said the Confederates did not
desire intervention, being able , to
maintain their independence, but they
did desire a recognition by the Powers.
He asserted that there can be no basis
for negotiation so long as the Confede
rates arc treated as rebels. When they
are treated as a belligerent power then
time morning of peace will dawn as the
Confederates will be, inflexible only on
points of independence and honor.
The Timers seeks to palm the dismay
at the short supply of cotton, and says
there is no ground for national alarm.
0 UIL DUTIES IN THE WAII.-11 is hard
to imagine anything, except the utter
wreck of our nationality, worse than
a civil war in America; anything more
wasteful to ,property, life, industry,
humanity and religion. But when war
is forced upon a peaceful and indus
trious people, in defence of its public
life, we must not forget that this, like
every other misfortune, is full of com
pensations. Even the loss of property
is not without great counterbalances,
and the treasure expended in do
fenso of the national constitution
is expended virtually for the secu
rity of the Government which, in its
liberty and order, gives industry its
motive and property its security. It
must be remembered, moreover, that
money spent in such a way as to de
fend national institutions and to
strengthen national character, com
pletes and perfects the social mechan
ism that produces, distributes and
utilizes wealth. Wo do not wish to
say anything to fitvor public prodigal
ity, or tempt our people to borrow
money, yet we must Consider that
national loans aro not the only form
of public debt; but a hundred millions
of dollars sent out of the country for
liquors that feVer the blood, or for
laces and silks that endanger our Re
publican simplicity, may impoverish
us fur more as a nation than the same
amount of money qent at home among
ourselves in arming and equipping the
defenders of our liberties and our laws.
