The proposed conscription. On the 28th of March, President Davis sent in to Congress a message, in which he recommended "the passage of a law declaring that all persons residing within the Confederate States, between the ages of 18 and 35 years, and rightfully subject to military duly, shall be held to be in the military service of the Confederate States, and that some plain and simple method be adopted for their prompt enrollment and organization, repealing all the legislation heretofore enacted, which would conflict with the system proposed."

The military possession of the States immediately south of Tennessee by our troops will at once and forever destroy all such hopes. Further, in the five or six State continuous to the line of operation of which we are writing, the slave system of the South, to sustain which this rebellion was really and ostensibly inaugurated, has its greatest development. In the States bordering on the Gulf, and for some distance up the Mississippi, the population is divided i

Davis was throws into the Shade by Capt Wilkes. "As this present month of January will are the Federal Treasury pouring out inconvertible promises to put us fast as the improved printing machines can provide them, it will be necessary to do someople into implacable enemies of the Yankee. If this be the case, then all the flea bites on the corps will be disregarded, and the Confederates must be crushed by advancing through their country and conquering it mile by mile. So thinks Mr. Jefferson Davis for according to our special correspondent, the Confederates are concentrating enormous forces in Virginia, and comparatively neglecting her parts of their territory. The war in Kentucky and Missouri being interrupted, every regiment the
