Mr. Rives.

The Enquirer, of yesterday, suggests the propriety of the placing of Mr. Rives, of Virginia, as chairman of the Committee of Foreign Relations in the lower House of the Confederate Congress about to assemble.--There could be no better selection, for no member of that body is so well fitted for the position by experience both in statesmanship and diplomacy. Mr. Rives has been a conspicuous man in the highest public councils--State and Federal--for forty years, and has been twice ambassador to the Court of France. He has always displayed abilities of the highest order both as legislator and diplomatist. In this struggle he has seen the "old man eloquent," firing the Southern boast and exciting emotions of pride and loyalty in the heart of every Virginian. The placing of Mr. Rives in the important position would be a very ing act, while it could not be regarded as a personal compliment to a venerable man who has worn gracefully so many distinguished honors with such usefulness to his country.
