Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1861-11-27
Congress-President's Message.

The Provisional Congress of the Confederate States
met in Richmond on the 18th. No business Of i'm
portance has yet been transacted. The Presidents
Message was submitted on the 18th, which will be
found, in full, in our columns to-day. 1t is a brief,
plain. consise document, and in these respects re-
minds one of the Messages of the Presidents of the
early days of the Republic of the United States, and
Is in striking contrast with the papers issued by the
Lincoln government.
Amcng the suggestions of the message, we note one
for making a connection between the North Carolina
and the Richmond and Danville railroads. The Pres
ident argues that the government should lend its aid
to complete this important line of military communi-
cation.
The President truly says, that the separation be-
tween the north and south is fnal-and that no efforts
on their part will ever bring us together under the
same flag. That we are able to maintain our indie
pendence, and that we mean to do it.
Abiding to the fragrant outrage upon the British
flag and the principles of public law involved in the
seizure of Messrs. Slidell and Mason, President Da-
Wis says these gentlemen were as much under the
Jurisdiction Of the British Government upon that
ship (the British steamer) beneath its flag, as if they
had been on it's soil, and the right of the United States
to have seized them in the streets of London, was as
good as their right to apprehend them where they
were TAKEN

No MoTHER.-She has no mother! What a volume
ofsorrowfGl truth is comprised in that SIM gle sentence
no mother! We must go down the hard. rough
paths of life, and become Injured to care and sorrow
in their sternest forms, before we can take home to
our own experience the dread reality-no mother
without s struggle and a tear. But when IL said of a
frail young girl, just passing from childhood towards
the life of a woman, how sad is the story, summed up
in that one short sentence. Who now shall check the
wayward fancies-who now shall bear with the errors
and failings of the motherless girl?
Deal gently with the child. Let not the cup of sor-
row be overfilled by the harshness of your bearing. or
your unsympathizing coldness. Is she needless of her
T, doings ? Is she careless in her movements Remem-
Der ''she has no mother - Where her young compan.
ions are gay and joyous. docs she sit sorrowinp >
Dees she pass with a downcast eye and laneuid stem
when you would fain witness the gushing and over.
flowing gladness of youth? Glide her not for she i.
motherless. and the great sorrow comes down upou
her soul like an incubus. Can you gain her confidence.
can you win herloye? Come, then, othe motherle..
with the boon of yeur tenderest care, and by the men,
DRY of your own mother, already perhaps past away-
by the fullness OF your own remembered sorrow-bv
the possibility that your own child may be motherless
contribute as far as you may, to relieve the loss Of
that fair, frail child, upon whose brow is written
Motherless.

Remember the Fourth.

Ibe sfIorl0uS OLD
Fourth is fest approaching and yet no move
has been made by our citizens toward pre-
pairing for the proper observance Of the day,
AT this time when treason stalks abroad in
the land, when armed traitors are in open
rebellion against the government and the
temple of Liberty shaken to its very centre,
the loyal people should prepare to give the
Nations Birthday a rousing reception. Let
us have regular time" Let everybody
and their friends consider themselves invited
to come and participate in the celebration
of IndeE endence, and doing honor TO the he-
roes and patriots whose bodies DOW repose i'll
peace beneath the sell hallowed by their
blood. As we suggested last week, let US
have general celebration. Let the bells
ring. the drums roll, the cam ons roar, the
bonires blaze and the p ople rejoice all to-
gether. We suggest that meeting be cal
led Immediately and proper arrangements
made for celebration.

a new company of these men. A company
