And this should be the object of anxious care on the part of State and Confederate Governments, so far as they may have power over the subject. We have already two main systems, of through transportation from the North to the South--one from Richmond, along the sea board; the other through Western Virginia to New Orleans. A third might be occurred by completing a link of about forty miles between Danville, in Virginia, and Greensborough, in North Carolina. The construction of this comparatively short line would give them through route from North to South. In the interior of the Confederate States, and give us access to a population and to military resource from which we are now, in a great measure, debarred.

s an offender against all law, human and divine. But not content with violating our rights, under the law of nations, at home, they have extended these injuries to us within other jurisdictions. The distinguished gentlemen whom, with your approval, at the last session, I commissioned to represent the Confederacy at certain foreign courts, have been recently seized by the captain of a United States ship-of-war, on board a British steamer, on their voyage from the neutral Spanish port of Havana to England. The United States have thus claimed a general jurisdiction over the high seas, and entering a British ship, sailing under its country's flag, violated the rights of embassy, for the most part held sacred even amongst barbarians, by seizing our Ministers whilst under the protection, and within the dominions, of a neutral nation. These gentlemen were as much under the jurisdiction of the British Government, upon that ship, and beneath its flag, as if they had been on its soil; an

r gratitude. From its commencement up to the present period the war has been enlarging its proportions and expanding its boundaries, so as to include new fields. The conflict now extends from the shores of the Chesapeake to the confines of Missouri and Arizona; yet sudden calls from the remotest points for military aid have been met with promptness enough not only to avert disaster in the face of superior numbers, but also to roll back the tide of invasion from the border. When the waive; and, upon a fair comparison between the two belligerents as to men, military means, and fluancial condition, the Confederate States are relatively much stronger now than when the struggle commenced. Since your adjournment the people of Missouri have conducted the war in the face of almost unparalleled difficulties, with a spirit and success alike worthy of themselves and of the great cause in which they are struggling. Since that time Kentucky, too, has become the theatre of active ho

, and, for the most part, the army, once common to both, were in their possession. To meet all this, we had to create not only an army in the face of war itself, but also the military establishments necessary to equip and place it in the field. I ought, indeed, to be a subject of gratulation that the spirit of the volunteers, and the patriotism of the people, have enabled us, under Providence to grapple successfully with these difficulties. --A succession of glorious victories, at Bethel, Bull Run, Manassas, Springfield, Lexington, Leesburg, and Belmont, has checked the wicked invasion which greed of gain and the unhallowed lust of power brought upon our soil, and has proved that numbers cease to avail when directed against a people fighting for the sacred right of self-government and the privileges of freemen. After seven months of war, the enemy have not only fallen to extend their occupancy of our soil, but new States and Territories have been added to our Confederacy, while, ins

States, they could not have been arrested on a British ship, or on British soil, unless under the express provisions of a treaty, and according to the forms therein provided for the extradition of criminals. But rights the most sacred seem to have lost all respect in their eyes. When Mr. Faulkner, a former Minister of the United States to France, commissioned before the secession of Virginia, his native State, returned in good faith to Washington to settle his accounts and fulfill all the obligations into which he had entered, he was perfidiously arrested and imprisoned in New York, where he now is. The unsuspecting confidence with which he reported to his Government was abused, and his desire to fulfill his trust to them was used to his injury. In conducting this war, we have sought no aid and proposed no alliances offensive a
