enemy — McCown's, Claiborne's and Cheatham's — had advanced in massive columns, and charged impetuously upon Johnson and Davis. A portion of the infantry in Johnson's division immediately broke, almost indeed before they had taken their arms from nd faintness of heart came over me as the destruction of our whole army seemed to stare us in the face. The right of Davis's division, assailed at the same time as Johnson's, gave way simultaneously, and the rout of the remainder seemed to follon which the broken right wing turned in its flight, and its perilous condition can be easily imagined when the flight of Davis's division left it without any protection from the triumphant enemy, who now swarmed upon its front and right flank; but almost every instance of the kind, retreat was changed to rout, only less complete than that of the troops of Johnson and Davis. All these divisions were now hurled back together into the immense cedar thickets which skirt the turnpike, and wer
t diplomatic correspondences between the European powers on the subject of intervantion, he says, "indicates a gratifying advances in the appreciation by those Governments of the true interests of mankind as involved in the war on this continent." The President says this Confederacy neither expects nor desires more than a strict neutrality, which shall operate in partially on both the nations engaged in this conflict. With regard to Lincoln's proclamation declaring the slaves free, President Davis says that unless Congress orders differently, he shall deliver in the several State authorities all commissioned officers of the United States that may hereafter be captured by our forces in any of the States embraces in the proclamation, that they may be dealt with in accordance with the laws of these States providing for the punishment of criminals engaged in exciting servile insurrection. The Financial provisions which will engage the attention of Congress will be important. Th
eat measure, the warlike material the ordnance and ordnance stores, which are expended so profusely in the numerous and desperate engagements that rapidly succeed each other, Cotton and woolen fabrics, shoes and harness, wagons and gun carriages are produced in daily increasing quantities by the factories springing into existence. Our fields, no longer whitened by cotton that cannot be exported, are devoted to the production of cereals and the growth of stock formerly purchased with the proceeds of cotton. In the homes of our noble and devoted women, without whose sublime sacrifices our success would have been impossible, the noise of the loom and of the spinning wheel may be heard throughout the land. With hearts swelling with gratitude, let us then join in returning thanks to God and in beseeching the continuance of his protecting care over our cause and the restoration of peace with its manifold blessings to our beloved country. Jefferson Davis. Richmond, January 12, 1863.
aw and most of the crew. The Harriet Lane was captured after all the officers, including Captain Wainwright and Lieut. Lee and all the crew--one hundred and thirty, all told — had been killed by musketry from the rebel steamers. Only one or two officers and twelve or fifteen of the crew escaped death. All the Yankee fleet was on its way to New Orleans. The National Advocate, at New Orleans, has been suppressed for publishing rebel reports of victories at Memphis and Vicksburg, and Jeff. Davis's speech at Jackson. Three negro regiments are doing garrison duty in Forts Jackson, St. Phillip and Pike. Rear Admiral Farregut was about to attack Fort Hudson. A dispatch from Caito, dated 11th says General Sherman's repulse at Vicksburg was complete. The entire force, under the direction of Gen. McClernand, Saturday on transports closely planed by the rebel advance. The Yankee loss is reported at six hundred killed, fifteen hundred wounded and one thousand missing.
Gen. Lee meddling again. President Davis will have to put a stop to Gen. Lee's meddling. If he cannot succeed in doing so, let him insist upon his confining it to his own army. He has no right to go beyond his own lines, and get all Yankeedoodledom together by the ears. Poor Doodle has troubles enough of his own, without having them aggravated by a Confederate General. It may be asked what we are driving at. Why, at this; Last week a gentleman informed us that he had received a letter from a friend inside of the Yankee lines. In which it was stated that Stanton had called Halleck about the pontoons that were to have been sent down to Fredericksburg, and were not sent in than. Passengers by the flag of truce boat say that it was a scrimmage, and not a caning affair, and that Halleck put one of the Secretary's eyes in mourning. As these were but rebel reports, we should not have noticed them but for their confirmation by one of the Baltimore papers. All accounts agree
Confederate States Congress. Wednesday, January 14, 1863. Senate.--The Senate met at 12 o'clock M, Hon. R. M. T. Hunter in the Chair. Prayer by Rev. Dr. Burrows, of the Baptist Church. On the call of the roll only thirteen members appeared, but after an hour or two a quorum was obtained by the arrival of Messrs. Davis and Sparrow, and the Senate proceeded to business. A message from the House of Representatives was received, informing the Senate that the House, in the absence of the Speaker, had been organized by the election of Thos. Curry Speaker pro tempore Mr. Clay, of Alabama offered a resolution that a committee be appointed by the President of the Senate, to act conjointly with the committee appointed by the House of Representatives, to wait upon the President of the Confederate States and inform him the Congress of the Confederate States is now in session, and ready to receive any communication he may be pleased to submit. Adopted. The Preside
"Punch" on the war. --Through the kindness of some unknown friend we are in possession of a copy of the London Punch, which gives its accustomed attention to American affairs. It has a very excellent cut representing Jeff. Davis and Lincoln at a game of cards, on a barrel of gunpowder. Old Abe, with furious aspect and hair erect like the quills of the fretful porcupine, has his last card — the black ace — raised on high, whilst Jeff, with elbow on the board and the corner of his card resting on his nose, gives his antagonist a most wicked leer from under the front-piece of his cap, appearing to say. Play on, old fellow: the last card can't help you out of the scrape. Another cut represents Old Abe's perplexity with the negro. He is seated in a room of the White House, with his hands resting on his knees, and a most woe-begone expression on his face, whilst a big buck negro, in his shirt sleeves and barefoot, with arms folded, head thrown back, and one foot on the table, in c
One hundred Dollars reward. --Ranaway from the Exchange Stables, (late Davis & Hutcherson's) on Sunday morning last, the 4th instant, negro man named Tom. Tom is a short man about five feet three or four inches high; pale yellow color; dark sandy, hair, rather bushy; light moustache and whiskers; square made; a little bow legged, and has a determined vicious countenance. He had on when he left a white slouched last and light pantaloons. He sometimes wore a blue shirt, with along neck-handkerchief and a soldier's blue overcoat, with cape. He had with him a bundle containing two blankets, a new black sack coat and other clothing. I will give the above reward of fined for his delivery to me at my stables, or secured in any jail in Richmond, that I may get him again. Tom was recently purchased of Col. Wilcox of Charles City county. He may be asserted somewhere in the city, but it is most likely he will make his way to Charles City and the Yankee lines. If taken out of the cit
Our friends in Canada. --The following toast was given in Hamilton (C. W.) on the 24th November, 1862, in honor of many Southern refugees, by Hon. R. J. Hamilton: "Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States--The immaculate here and Christian statesman; may the God of Battles bless him and his cause." This was responded to by M. Winans, Esq., of Baltimore, Md. Hon. W. McDonald. M. P., paid a glowing tribute to Stonewall Jackson. He compared him to the late Gen. Haribute to Stonewall Jackson. He compared him to the late Gen. Havelock, one of England's greatest Generals. Gen. Wilson said: "With leaders like Davis, Lee, Beauregard, Johnston, and Jackson, the South must and will succeed; and it is the duty of our Government to recognize the South. They are bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh. We insist on their recognition. This was the largest and most brilliant gathering which has taken place in Canada since the Prince of Wales's visit.
