Correspondence Of Charleston Courier.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 8, 1917.
We are in The midst of the delightful
season. called the Indian Summer. Pre-
parations are made, on every side, for the
approaching session. The members Of the
Cabinet are busy in preparing their re-
ports. The message is under consideration.
Speculation is busy as to the topics aud
policy of The message. The Mexican
war must occupy large portion of it, as
al the late session; bat it is now doubted
whether the President will lay down a
dislinc, line Of policy in regard to the fu.
ture objects and method Of the war.
Ii is doubtful at this moment, whelhe:
the administration are in favor of that line
Of policy. in regard to the future conduct
of the war, which the Union" has laid
down in such explicit and impressive terms.
Speculation is also busy, as to the course
which Congress will take upon the sub
ject of the war. 1t is whispered that there
is a scheme On foot, TO take the matter out
o. the hands Of the Executive, and 70 limit
the future military operations in Mexico
10 certain objects. different from those
which have been, whether enormously or
not. attributed to him. This scheme.
whatever il may be, will be brought for.
ward in The Senate. and, as some suppose,
sustained by that body. 1t is certain that
Mr.. Calhoun is looked to by The whis
Senators, as the leader. in whatever pro-
ject may be brought forward, and that
nothing will be attempted, without his
hearty concurrence.
Circumstances have now placed i, in
the power Of The Southern State Rights
party 10 controle the policy. and, may
say, The des,inies Of this country. Icihey
can unite among themselves, their moral
force. however small may be their numbers,
will be overwhelming. The strength and
the. responsibility Of their position can
not be overraied.
1t is well known here that some mem.
bers of the administration still cherish
the expectation that Mexico will sue for
peace, and that, by some chance or other,
ihe war will be brought TO close before
Ibe meeting of Congress-now only
mouth oil. This expectation may he
prompted by an honest desire, but it is sus-
taiued hy vain and idle hope.

to maintain safe communicalions-bnt not
a step will it advance us towards the gem
