Editor Of the Standard:
DEAR SIR:-As you have no correspondent from
this regiment, perhaps a few lines from this place
occasionally, would prove acceptable to your numer
GUS readers. Although profess my incompetence
to write Tor your elaborate sheet nevertheless will
endeavor to inform your readers of all important
events that may transpre in this section; should
you think my productions worthy of space in your
columns have lately received several copies Of the
Standard, which were very acceptable indeed: be-
ing the first newspapers from the 'old North State
have had the pleasure of perusing since our exit
For this manifestation of your kindness You will
accept my heartfelt thanks The latter number
contained ordinances passed by the State Conven
ton, which we had not before seen.
Nothing of interest has transpired at this place
since you were here. The health of our regiment
continues very good. There are but few cases of
sickness at the hospital some of which are likely
to result seriously. The health of our regiment
here contrary to our expectations at first IS much
better than that of any other from which have vet
heard
We continue in fine spirits, and are anxiouslv
awaiting opportunity to assist in repelling the
ruthless foe that now invade our beloved g sunny

Yesterday DR.. S. A. Williams, of Oxford, N. c..
in behalf OF the Granville Grays, presented Lieut.
Daniel with fine sword, as a token of our high re-

to tears, expressed in very eloquent strain his ap
probation of our kindness He has gone to his ma
tive city, Richmond to raise volunteer COMPANY
May success crown his efforts. We shall ever re-
member him with feelings of the deepest gratitude
and love- Our company has vastly improved under
his supervision Col. Williams has accepted anoth-
er company in this regiment from TyrreI Capt
Bramble; which is very fine looking company in
deed. l am panied to learn that they lost one of
their number yesterday, of apoplexy. We have had
no fight here yet; the Yankees know too well our
strength and Notifications. More anon.

President Davis, Statement.

President Davis returned to Richmond from the
seat of war on Tuesday evening. Crowds met him
at the depot and received him with enthusiastic
shouts. Though worn and fatigued, he addressed
the multitude. The Examiner says :
" In strain of fervd eloquence, he eulogized the
courage, the endurance and patriotism of our victo-
rious troops; and to the memory of our honored
dead who shed their lifes blood on the battlefield
in the glorious cause of their country, he paid
glowing tribute, which could not fail to dim with
tears the eyes of the least feeling among his hearers
He pronounced the victory great glorious and COM
plete. He said we had whipped them this time and
we could whip them again as often as they offered
us the opportunity. In abiding to the vasiness and
Importance of our captures, he said we had taken
everything the enemy had in the field: sixty pieces
of splendid cannon, of the best and most improved
models, vast quantities Of ammunition arms enough
of various descriptions to equip large army hun
dreds of wagons and ambulances of the most luxu-
rious make and fnish and provisions enough to feed
an army Of fifty thousand men for twelve months
The headong retreat of the enemy he compared
to the wild and hurried flight of scared covey of
cartridges. He said that great was the terror
with which the repeated onslaughts of our men in
sPred them, that taking wildly to their heels they
threw from them their guns, swords, knApsacks and

ing the course. of the Government to the
Southern States after the suppression of
the rebellioB il is proper to say that the
Government'will be guided by the Con-
stituIion and laws. The Executive desires
TO administer the Government as admins
tered by the government makers, and 10y
al citizens everywhere claim this. II is
not perceived that there is any coercion,
spbjugatlon or conqnering in these terms.
The Constitution guarantees ench State
a representative form of government. If
State wilhdraws, it may change It's form
to prevent the going out.
As indispensable to maintaining the
guarantee, with the deepest regret, the
Executive has employed the war power
for the defence of the Government, but
this course being forced upon him, he
could not but perform his duty or surren.
der the Government. No compromise in
this case could cure not that compromi-
ses are often proper, but no popular Gov
eminent can long survive a marked prece-
dent that those who carry an election
can ono save the country by giving
up the main point upon which the people
gave the election 10 the people. Them
selves, not their servants can reverse their
decision.
A private citizen, the Executive could
not consent that our institutions should
perish, much less betray so vast. so sacred
a trust as free people has confided in
bin. He had no moral right to shrink
from nor count tho chances of his own
life, as what might follow.
In full view of the great responsibility,

Having thus chosen our course with

of navy shooters, carbine, horseman's
sword, and in fact every thing which goes
to make up The equipment of dragoons
Their horses, which are of the best quality
were transported over the railroad along
with them and from the time they left
Natchez until they reached Lynchburg,
the entire expense has been borne by the
company. 1t is said that the company

the Federal Government. The total value

could not protect them from the shot OF
our infantry, The fredericksburg accoun,
reports six Of the enemy killed, aud about
twenty scattered in the woods, where they
were hunted like wild turkeys. The Bal
timore account admits Capt. Ward TO have
been killed while pointing a gun in place
of the gunner who was wounded, and
several others wounded, one mortally.
Near the upper Potomac border skir
mishes are almost daily occurring. and
many are of sharp and bloody character,
In one OF these, not far from Romney,
prodlgies of prowess were performed by a
small squad, fourteen in number, of Can't.
Ashby's Virginia cavalry, against about
sixty of the enemy's cavalry. Twenty OF
the enemy were killed, and a number OF
his horses were taken. Capt. Asbby lost
two killed, and several of his men were
wounded. With his own hand, il is stated
Capt. Ashby slew six of the enemy
Surely, if the enemy desires 10 avoid o
general engagement, it cannot be from the
encouragement he receives to continue o
war of skirmishes.
Regiments and detached companies are
almost daily leaving the encampments
around Richmond to join some one of the
divisions of the Confederate Army. But
their room is supplied almost as soon as
they leave.

ABE LINCOLN'S MESSAGE.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The following is
a synopsis of the message presented TO the
called session of the U. s. Congress by
President Lincolns
AT the beginning of the present Admin
istration the Federal Government was
found suspended In several of the States
except in regard to its postal function -
The national property in those States, ex
cept Forts Pickens, Taylor, Jefferson and
Sumter, had been seized and put in an of
fensive position other forts had been
built, armies organized and being organ
lied, which were avowedly hostile to the
Federal Government. The remaining
forts in the States were either beseiged oI
menaced. A large amount of arms and
munitions of war had in some manner
found their way into therebellious States
the accumulations of the national revenues
within the rebel borders had been seized
The Federal navy was scattered, and the
Federal army and navy officers had re-
signed in great numbers. Ordinances de-
claring separation had passed.

crates, were applying to foreign powers
for recognition and assistance.
The incoming Administration believed
it to be its imperative dnty TO prevent the
threatened dismemberment of the Union
A choice of means being Indispensable
the policy chosen, as indicated in the In
augural address of the Executive, was tbs
exhaustion of all peaceful measures be-
fore a resort to coercion, the Government
seeking only to hold the public places and
property, and the unresisted collection oi
of the revenues, relying upon time, dis
cussion, and the ballot box for the rest
and promising, in the meantime, con
tinuance of the mails. Everything was
foreborne, compatible with the keeping Of
the Government on foot.
On the 4th of March, letter was re
ceived from Maj. Anderson, in command
at Fort Sumter, that the place could no
be held. After consultation, Gen. Scot
coincided with the Administration that the
force at the disposal of the Government
was not adequate 10 the relief OF For
Sumter. without immediate victualing
The Administration duty was thus re
duced TO the safe withdrawal of the garri
son at that place. 1t was believed, how
ever, that the abandonment of Fort Sumte
