WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.--The Richmond pa
pers Of Wednesday last contain the Message oil
President Davis to the Congress Of the rebel
States After the usual congratulations, he
says:
The operations of the army, soon to be parti.
ally interrupted by the approaching winter, have
afforded protection to our country and shed o
| glorious luster upon Its arms, through the try
Ing vicissitudes Of more than one arduous cam
paign, which entitle our brave volunteers to oul
praise and gratitude.

months of war the enemy have not only failed
| to extend their occupancy of our soil, but nev
States and territories have been added to oul

marches of unchecked conquest, they have beer
driven at more than one point to assume thu
defensive; and upon fair comparison between
| the two belligerents as to men, military meanl
and financial condition, the Confederate Statel
are relatively much stronger now than when th,
| struggle commenced.
He speaks in high terms of the people o
| the State of Missouri, who he says conducted
| the war in the face Of almost unparalleled diff
ficulties, with spirit and success alike worth,
of themselves and Of the great cause In whicl
they are struggling.

enemy and prevent their occupation Of certain
strategic points, which would have given then

was not only justified BY the necessity Of self
defense on the part Of the Confederate States
but also by desire to aid the people of Ken
