Letter from the President.

--The following is the reply of President Davis, to a letter informing him of the resolutions of the 13th Tennessee regiment:

Sir:

I have received a copy, transmitted by you, of the resolutions passed by your convention on the 16th inst., declaring your "purpose to remain in the service of the Confederate States until the complete independence of the South is acknowledged." Such declarations, adopted by all our gallant troops, and followed by the heroic deeds that have hitherto distinguished them in the field, cannot fall, under Providence, to advance the glorious results which is dearest to the heart of every Southern patriot.
My best wishes and prayers shall follow your regiment through the struggle it has so nobly elected to person.

Very truly and respectfully yours,

Jefferson Davis.
