The following is President Davis's mes
sage to Congress, which was read in
open session
Gentlemen My message, addressed to
You ut the commencement OF the session.
contains such fnll information of the
state of the Conicderacy as to render it
unnecessary that should 60 more than
call your attention to such important
facts AS have occurred during recess, and
10 matters connected with the public de-
fence.
have again to congratulate you on
the accession Of new members to our
confederation Of free, equal, sovereign
States Our loved aud honorel brethren
of North Carolina and Tennessee have
contaminated the action foresee, and pro-
vided for at your last session, and have
had the qualification OF amounting by
proclamation IN conformity witt law
that those States were admitted nto the
Coniederacy Tae people Of Virginia,
also by majority previously Unknown
in her history, have ratified The acton Of
/ her uniting her iotunes
with ours. Yhe States of Afktsas,
North Carolina, aud Virginia have like
/ wise adopted the permanent Constitution
of the Confederate States, and 10 dubt
is entertained of i;s adoption 10y Tcnes-
sea at the election to be held early uxt
month,
/ deemed it advisable TO direct the +
moval of the several Executive bepnr
ments with the archives 10 this city, g.
( which you had removed the seat Of goyl
crnmcnt.
Immediately after your Adjournment,
the aggressive movement Of the enemy
required prompt, energetic action. The
accumulation of his forces sufficiently
demonstrated that his efforts were direct.
/ cd against Virginia, aud from no point
could necessary measures for her defence
and protection be 50 elliccutly directed
as from her own capital
The rapid progress OF events for the
last few weeks has fully snl'ioed to strip
the vail hchipd which the true policy
and purposes OF the Government OF tie
United states had been concealed Their
odious features now stand fully revealed.
The message Of their President, and the
action of their Congress during the
month. confess the intention 81 the sub
