Meeting of the Confederate Congress.Message of President Davis. Montgomery, Ala., April 29.
--Congress met at noon to-day, and the President's Message was read.
It announces the ratification of the permanent Constitution by all the Confederate States, and it only remains for elections to be held for the designation of officers to administer it. The President says the declaration of war laid against this Confederacy by Abraham Lincoln rendered it necessary to convene Congress to devise measures for the defence of the country.
He then reviews at length the relations heretofore existing between the States, and the events which have resulted in the present warfare.
Referring to the result of the mission of the Commissioners to Washington, he says the crooked paths of diplomacy can scarcely furnish and example so wanting in courtesy, in candor and directness, as was the course of the United States Government towards our Commissioners.
The President incidentally re

Gov. Hicks, of Maryland.
This double-dyed traitor deserves the execration of honest men in the whole country.
He is evidently in league with Lincoln, and is known in Washington as a regular member of the Black Republican organization.
Up to within a few days he has been living under the roof of Capt. Blake, the Federal commander of the Navy-Yard at Annapolis, and sleeping in the same room with him. We have it from undoubted authority that he severely reprimanded the officers in command of the Vanceville (Prince George,) Rangers for arresting two Army Captains, who were carrying sealed orders from Washington to Annapolis, telling them they were little better than land pirates.

Union men of the South.
The Union men of the South are now battling manfully in the front rank of the great cause of Southern independence.
The moment that they discovered the unparalleled deception which Lincoln had practiced upon them, that moment "bygones" with them were "bygones," and they knew no cause but that of Virginia and the South.
The unity of the South is now equal to that of the North.
With a few miserable exceptions in the Northwest, of politicians as destitute of personal as political character, the South stands in a compact mass, knowing no rivalry except which shall go farthest and make most sacrifices in the common cause.

Tennessee a Unit.
We learn that John Bell, Andrew Ewing, E. H. Ewing, and other distinguished men, heretofore hopeful Unionists, on the 23d, addressed a vast meeting at Nashville.
Mr. Bell took the ground that the usurpation of Lincoln released every State from its obligations to the Federal Government — that Tennessee was a sovereign, independent State--that all her citizens should arm at once, and resist to the death all invasion of Southern soil.
A united South was the universal cry of the meeting.--The Banner expects that three regiments will be speedily on the way to the assistance of Virginia.
Fifty thousand volunteers will be ready at an hour's notice.

[Second Dispatch.] Alexandria, April 29.
--P. M.--The special express to the Gazette says the Long Bridge over the Potomac at Washington is guarded on the northern side by a large force of Federal troops, and on the southern side by Virginia troops.
It is reported that Federal troops occupy Arlington Heights; also, that a U. S. steamer is to lie off Alexandria, and that all fish caught at the lower landings on the Potomac are to be sen
[special Dispatch to the Richmond Dispatch.]from Washington. Alexandria, April 29.
--The Seventh New York Regiment are encamped on Georgetown Heights.
A portion of the Massachusetts and Pennsylvania regiments are quartered within the Georgetown College walls.
Martial law is to be proclaimed in Washington to-morrow.
The whole of Lincoln's power is to be directed against Baltimore.
The Washington end of the Long Bridge is guarded by the Second Artillery.
Another secessionist has been shot in cold blood.
Cushing and Everett.
Among the last of the fallen Conservatives are Cushing and Everett. Commodore Stockton, who swore some time ago that if a Northern Regiment should march upon the South through New Jersey he would raise a Jersey regiment to oppose it, has also lowered his flag, in a late speech, in which he makes his stereotyped allusion to the personal combats in which he has been engaged.
We believe the list of the Northern Conservatives is now pretty much exhausted.
Every one of them is sustaining Lincoln in what they know to be an unconstitutional exercise of power, and a most inhuman and bloody purpose — But it is worth all the hubbub and confusion to have this inside view of human nature before the Great Day when, --fearful words,--the secrets of all hearts shall be revealed.
