Message Of Jefferson Davis.

We publish in another column the message Of
Jefferson Davis to the rebel Congress at Rich
mond, which possesses more than ordinary
interest at the present crisis. 1t is rather
boastfal State paper, and it is evident that the
President Of the rebellion well understands the
game of brag. He boasts that, SO far from the
original Confederate States being subjugated,
they have conquered new States and Terrific
ries from the Union, and have driven back our
armies, compelling them to assume the defen-
sive after failing in their attempts at the often
sive. They are thus comparatively stronger
now than when the struggle commenced" The
arch rebel even yaunts Of the deeds of the Con-
federa.e navy" which must be extraordinary
news to our readers. We were well aware of
the operations of his privateers, but of his
navy''-bless the mark-we had never heard,
excepting the mosquito feet at Port Royal.
The conclusion at which Mr.. Davis arrives,
from all the data gathered from the theatre of
war by land and sea, is that a reconstruction of
the Union by force of arms is impossible, and
that it is equally hopeless by peaceful negota-
tons, as Southern experience of Northern bar
the Yankees, whom the insurgent chief is
pleased to describe as incendiares and rob-
bers, outlaws beyond the rights of humanity
and the pale Of civilization.
We are assured that the campaign is soon to
be interrupted by the winter. That, however,
does not entirely depend on the will of the
rebel Commander-in-Ch Chief. Abe Lincoln and
General Mcclellan have got something to say
on the subject. For future operations the Con-
| federate President advises the construction Of
line Of railroad, forty miles in length, between
Danville, Va, and Grcenboro N c., q link
now wanting TO complete the third through
route between the Southern States running
north and south Already there are two. This
| would make the third or central one through the
interior. Before that is accomplished jeff
Davis and his Cabinet may, perhaps. be moving
on very different line of railroad.
The great Powers Of Europe are to be called
on to break the blockade, from the evidence
which the rebel government will furnish of its
ineffectiveness.
| But the most important feature of the message
is the reference to the case Of Mason and Sill.
dell. Jefferson Davis takes the ground that, his
emissaries having sailed from one neutral port
| to another, it is as much violation Of the sa-
credness of embassy and Of the laws of nations
to take them from British mail steamer as il
would be to take them by force out of the streets
Of London. It might be anticipated that such
would be his views of the case, and it is of very
little moment. Whether the English govern
ment will take the same view, and if So
whether our government will yield an
inch to its demands, are the only elements
in the controversy which can give 1t the slight.

A Famine In Ireland-Tho Lesson II
Teaches.

A Famine In Ireland-The Lesson 1t
Teaches.
By reference to our news columns it will
be seen that another Of those periodical
events in Ireland, called "famines," is at hand.
It is from the same cause as the previous one
in 1846-7-the failure of the potato crop. The
accounts are most deplorable. In three out Of
the four provinces into which Ireland is divi-
ded-namely, Leinster, Munster and Con-
naught-the potato is already utterly destroyed
to the extent of three-fourths Of the whole
crop, and of the remaining one-fourth, one-half
IS unfit for food; so that seven-eighths are vir
tually lost In Ulster, the northern province.
the rot is trivial, but the effects of the calamity
will be felt there too. The English papers
said, after the last reduction of the population
by famine and emigration to the extent of two
millions out of eight, that the evil could not
occur again, as it was the result of surplus
population. Now, however, it has occurred
again, in despite Of the depopulation Of the
island and the partial and limited effects pro-
duced by the operation of the Encountered
Estates act, showing that the evil is perennial
and incurable under British rule The conso-
lation held out by one of the London journals
is that 'the measure of distress which may be
encountered during the winter would have been
immensely increased but for that providential
migration of the Celtic hordes consequent upon
the former famine"
British journals and statesmen blasphemously
called the last famine "a visitation Of Provi-
dence" It was no such thing. It was the re-
suit Of landlord oppression, combined with the
subsection of the island to British sway. The
failure of the potato crop ought not to have
produced famine, and it would not if the
tillers Of the soil had had fair play and if the ex
ports of agricultural produce had been stopped
as they would have been in any free country
It was one of the most curious spectacles evcl
witnessed in the history Of the world to see
American ships carrying over Indian corn tc
save from starvation people whose soil had
actually produced double the quantity Of bread
stuffs necessary to support the inhabitants /
there were not potato in existence. While
human beings were perishing in vast numbers
| for want of food at Skibbereen and other part
| of the country-women absolutely eating thei
own children to allay the pangs of hunger
numerous vessels laden with wheat, oats, bar
ley, -four, cattle, pigs, poultry, butter, ham,
and eggs were leaving the ports for England
and the same exports are going forward now

Irish peasants, with few exceptions, never dream
OF eating flesh meat or bread. They have to
sell their breadstuffs and their cattle to Eng
land to enable them to Day the exorbitant
'" exacted from Thorn by the landlords and
the 'ormous taxes wrung from them by the
~Ou.rc, mt, while they live themselves on the
g.. rot,.o producing from an acre Of ground.
v whom, healthy . six tines as much food as any
other cxop in Irn,and. Hence, when this root
fails they must starvs, or be driven from their
homestead like SO many vermin, because they
are unable to pay rack rents to luxu-
rious aristo. vaey, who live, for the most
part, in Lyndon, Paris, or thu other
fashtnslle reso. ITS on the continent 0f Europe,
thus spending out Of the country the money
produced in it, aud sending back NO return.
Any ouetwho desireN 10 see these facts verified
by good British authority may consult the evil
dence taken before Ltsrd Devon's commission,
and printsd by order Of Parliament. The
whole population are dependent on the agri-
cultural resources of the cDuntry. Ths manu-
features which, formerly four5hed in the island
were deliberately and avowesly destroyed by
British legislation for the benefit Of England;
and for want Of capital in this impoverished
and unhappy province, and from its unsettled
political c0Alition; they have never since been.
permitted to revive
These facts explaig the anomaly ofa country
whose fertility is unsurpassed in the world, and
which could support five times the nsmber Of
its inhabitants, being periodically visited with
famine by British providence. Had 1t not been
for American benevolence in the last famine,
the starvation would have been much worse
than it was. If England, by war with us,
were now cut of from our surplus bread
stuffs, the Irish population would perish in
thousands from restitution, and the stomach Of |
John Bull would also suffer to very great
extent. Here, then, is security for England
keeping the peace with u.s. The last famine
gave birth to revolutionary movement in Ire
land which was abortive; but the present famine
may produce a successful one, under different
circumstances, and the English democracy
would not be slow to take advantage of the oc-
casion to overthrow the aristocracy, the op-
pressors Of the people in both islands, who are
compelled annually to migrate to America to
escape poverty and the tyranny by which they
are ground to powder. Nothing would so de-
light these emigrants as an American war with |
Great Britain

Last Words of Judge Douglas.

1Ho Chlcdgo DfNOcTdt says that 1Or
long time previous TO his death, Judge
DOUGLAS had been in a semi mi-unconscious
condition. During the morning of his
death his mind and energies rallied some
what. As his wife sat at his bedside, she
asked The dying statesman if he had any
messages to send to his boys, STEPHEN and
ROBERT. He seemed at first not to hear
the question, and she repeated it. Rally
ing his strength, his eye kindled mp, and
hir whole frame seemed to dilate, as he
answered.
YES! Tell them to obey the Laws and
support the Constitution Of the United
,States.'
A short time after, lie desired to be
raised, and his wish was complied with, SO
that he might look out from his window
once more, upon that city which had loy-
ed and bonored him so long. One of his
friends expressed doubt as to the ease of
bis position, when he simply replied "he
is-comfortable." In bis dying moments
he family articuated-" Death, Death,
Death, and his soul passed away.
False Reports and Bogus Battles.
We had intended TO say something of
the many conflicting and contradictory
telegraphic reports which fl the papers,
relative to the present war, and to state
to our readers the reason why our columns
are not taken up with them, but the fol-
lowing article from the Fond du Lac
Press exactly suits our purpose. Nine
tenths of the so-calied news as published
in the daily papers is got up to swindle
the public by those interested in their
rapid sale. and we shall hereafter be eau
tious in copying any until well satisfied of
their truth. The Press says;
"The newspapers all over the country
are interested in putting stop to the false
reports Of battles which are sent by reck
less or unlruIhful persons over the tele
graph for publication, and many of the
journals are demanding that more ca,e in
tie supervision of such dispatches shall
be exercised by those who report them for
the press When it is 80 easy to verify
report of battle, by sending despatch
by telegraph to the place where the fight
is said to have occurred, or where the re
port purports to have originated, in order
that the account shall be confirmed before
publication, there is no apology at all for
sending false statements to newspapers,
and having :5em not only deceive their
readers: but produce great deal of unne
cessary anxiety and distress among the
thousands Of persons who have their friends
and relations in the army. Every flying
rumor should not be seized upon as a
fact, or be reported at all, until proper
pains are taken to ascertain its truth"
Our readers may rest assured that when
anything Of Importance occurs, they will
get the details through the columns of the
Pilot.
