Hence your committee regret that the Executive deemed it necessary to transmit to Congress a message so well calculated to excite discord and dissension. But for the fact that the success of the great struggle in which the country is engaged depends as much on the confidence of the people in the Legislative as in the Executive Department of the Government, the message would have been received without comment. Your committee would have preferred silence. It has been induced to an opposite course, because they believe Congress would be derelict in its duty to permit its legitimate and constitutional influence to be destroyed by Executive admonitions, such as those contained in the message under consideration, without some public exposition of its conduct. Respectfully submitted. James L. Oer, Chairman, Thomas J. Semmes, W. A. Graham, A. T. Caperton, John W. C. Watson.

Report of the Senate committee on President Davis's late message. The following is the report of the Senate Committee on the recent message of President Davis. It was read and adopted in secret session, and the seal of secrecy removed on the 16th instant: The select committee to whom was referred so much of the President's message of the 13th instant as relates to the action of Congress during the present session having duly considered the same, respectfully submit the following report: The attention of Congress is called by the President to the fact that, for carrying on the war successfully, there is urgent need of men and supplies for the army. The measures passed by Congress during the present session for recruiting the army are considered by the President inefficient; and it is said that the results of the law authorizing the employment of slaves as, soldiers will be less than anticipated, in consequence of the dilatory action of Congress in adopting the meas

s passed a bill declaring that the terms "just compensation," as used in the Constitution, entitle the owner whose property is impressed to the market value thereof at the time and place of impressment. This legislation was considered necessary, in consequence of judicial decisions in some of the States, and because of the difficulty of procuring supplies on any other terms. Indeed, it was supposed that the Executive had reached the same conclusion, as the Commissary-General, on the 20th December, 1864, had advertised that he would pay for supplies the price fixed by local appraisement; which is, in fact, the market price. The President, in his Annual Message of November last, did not call the attention of Congress to any difficulties attendant on the execution of the impressment laws. The present message, for the first time during this session, suggests modifications of those laws; and the recommendations of the President will doubtless receive the respectful consideration of Cong

that the President, in November last, did not consider that the contingency had then arisen which would justify a resort to the extraordinary policy of arming our slaves. Indeed, no other inference can be deduced from the language used by him; for he says: "These considerations, however, are rather applicable to the improbable contingency of our need of resorting to this element of resistance than to our present condition.-- The Secretary of War, in his report, under date of November 3d, seemed to concur in the opinion of the President when he said: "While it is encouraging to know this resource for further and future efforts is at our command, my own judgment does not yet either perceive the necessity or approve the policy of employing slaves in the higher duties of soldiers. At what period of the session the President or Secretary of War considered the improbable contingency had arisen, which required a resort to slaves as an element of resistance, does not

aled at the present session.--Tanners, shoemakers, millers, blacksmiths, telegraph operators, and workmen in mines, enumerated by the President as among the classes exempted, are not now, and have not been since the passage of the act of 17th of February, 1864, exempted as a class. If railroad officers and employees, and State officers, who are not constitutionally subject to conscription, be excluded, the classes now exempted east of the Mississippi river embrace about nine thousand men--one-ejected by Congress. This is evidently a mistake, as it assumes there has been an increase of taxes on other than agricultural incomes. The present income taxes are those laid by the act of April, 1863, as amended and re-enacted on the 17th of February, 1864. To require the agriculturist to pay a tax on the income derived from his farm in addition to the one tenth of his gross productions, and the property tax of nine per cent. ad valerous, would be manifestly unjust and oppressive.

d nurses in public hospitals; certain mail contractors and drivers of post- coaches; certain officers and employees of railroad companies; and certain agriculturists or overseers. Officers of the State Governments are not properly included among the exempted classes, because it is conceded that Congress has no constitutional power to conscribe them as soldiers. --Nor are Drunkards, Quakers, or other non-combatants, regarded as belonging to class exemptions, because, under the act of June 7, 1864, the exemption of these persons is subject to the control of the Secretary of War. The exemption of agriculturists or overseers between the ages of eighteen and forty-five has been repealed at the present session.--Tanners, shoemakers, millers, blacksmiths, telegraph operators, and workmen in mines, enumerated by the President as among the classes exempted, are not now, and have not been since the passage of the act of 17th of February, 1864, exempted as a class.

hen so regarded, I must dissent from those who advise a general levy and arming the slaves for the duty of soldiers." It is manifest that the President, in November last, did not consider that the contingency had then arisen which would justify a resort to the extraordinary policy of arming our slaves. Indeed, no other infemaster-General, the section alluded to was stricken out. The subject of class exemptions was called to the attention of Congress by the Executive message of November last. It was carefully considered, and an act was passed expressive of the views of the Legislative Department of the Government. The message under consideratiad advertised that he would pay for supplies the price fixed by local appraisement; which is, in fact, the market price. The President, in his Annual Message of November last, did not call the attention of Congress to any difficulties attendant on the execution of the impressment laws.
