irit of that declaration which rests the right to govern upon the consent of the governed, but the wickedness of the North would entail war upon the country. The present war waged against the rights of a free people was unjust, and the fruit of the evil passions of the North. In the progress of the war those evil passions have been brought out and developed; and so far from resulting with such a people — a people whose ascendants Cromwell had gathered from the bogs and fens of Ireland and Scotland--a people whose intolerance produced discord and trouble wherever they went — who persecuted Catholics, Episcopalians, and every other sect that did not subscribe to their bigoted and contracted notions.--who hung witches, and did a thousand other things calculated to make them forever infamous — the President was emphatic in his declaration that under no circumstances would be consent to reunion. He drew a glowing picture of the horrors of war, and the ravages of the enemy; and while <

Vicksburg and Port Hudson were points that must be defended, and every effort must be strained for this purpose. Vicksburg, he said, would stand, and Port Hudson would stand it the people were true to themselves. This done, the Northwest would grow restive, and cause to support a war ruinous to them and beneficial only to New England contractors. From the Northwest he looked for the first gleams of peace. The President expressed his gratification that General Pemberton, whom he had sent here believing him eminently suited to this command, had sustained in a signal manner the high character he had given him. He also spoke of Brigadier-General Lee, to whom he had entrusted the defences of Vicksburg, in terms of hearty commendation. The Trans Mississippi Department. On the other side of the river our prosp

f those herons whom the ravages of war had yet spared, and consecrate themselves to the most sacred cause on earth. The real Danger. The President remarked that when he arrived here he thought the enemy were pressing down upon us from the Northern borders of our State, but when he went to Grenada he there learned that nothing could be seen of them but their backs. They were going back perhaps with the intention of reinforcing the heavy column that was now being thrown down the Mississippi river; The real points of attack were at Vicksburg and Port Hudson; and to all who desired to lend a helping hand to the country in her present exigency he would, any, "Go to Port Hudson and Vicksburg without delay!" Necessity of Harmony — permanent military system.

s to be long protracted. Be it long or short, however, we could not be the first to cry "hold, enough." Recognition — foreign nations. To the question of recognition and intervention, the President devoted only a few words. We had a right to expect recognition long since, but it had not come, and his advice was, "Put not your faith in princes, nor rest your hopes upon foreign nations." It seemed that England still refused to take any steps towards either recognition or mediation. France had made a move that looked friendly to us, and when she extended the hand of friendship we would be ready to grasp it. No Retrogradation. The President took a brief retrospective view of the movements of our armies since the fall of New Orleans — an event as unexpected to him as it was to us — and showed that we had not retrograded, but had gathered largely in strength. Armies are not made up in numbers only. We have now an army that we can safely rely on. We have stripped gunboa<

Kentucky, too, was an object of solicitude to him, and he spoke of her gallant people in the kindest and most commendable terms. Our cause in the Ascendant. The President laid particular stress upon the encouraging fact that we had improved in every respect since the war began. Our armies were superior in number, and improved in quality and appointments. Our manufactories had made rapid progress;--Mississippi alone had clothed and subsisted the whole army upon her soil. O

d strengthen our means of defence quite materially. In his allusion to the vast numbers of the North, the President said that upon any fair field we were willing to fight them two to one; we have often whipped them three to one; at Antietam Gen. Lee whipped them four to one; but this might not be the case always. As the enemy progressed in discipline, they approached nearer to our own troops in efficiency. Hence the necessity of providing something like a corresponding force to that which of peace. The President expressed his gratification that General Pemberton, whom he had sent here believing him eminently suited to this command, had sustained in a signal manner the high character he had given him.

That he had committed some errors he did not doubt, though they were never the result of improper motives — For a vindication of himself from the aspersions of some of his follow citizens, he confidently awaited the time when the cause would not suffer from such vindication, he, however, explained the great necessity of public confidence in the officers of the Government and pointed to that great and good man Gen. Albert Sidney Johnson as a shining example of the ill affects of withholding that deserved confidence which the public welfare require. Duration of the war. Though the war had somewhat exceeded his expectations, yet he never doubted our final success, and he considered it now as absolutely certain. The duration of the war was a question of time.

. Any law intended to hear unfairly upon the poor even to a feathers weight, would never have received his signature. "The poor have fought our battles." says the President, "and so have the rich" The poor in all revolutions are the main stay and grope of the country. But while the poor have nobly done their duty, we have no cause to complain of the rich.--All have done well, and many of the wealthiest and most distinguished families in the South have sons in the ranks. He instanced Hon. Israel Welsh and others, who had fought as privates in the bloodiest engagements of the war. He thought there might be very properly a revision of the exemption law, and trusted there would be no conflict between Confederate and State laws upon the subject of the military.

The calls for such services could be for thirty, sixty, or ninety days, and when the emergency had passed they could return to their pursuits. Raw soldiers, the President contended could do efficient service in the trenches, and the ado
