MoNTcoNERr, April 20.
Congress met at noon. President Davis'
message announced the ratification OF the
permanent Constitution OF the Confsderstc
States, and that il only remains for an cleo
ton 10 be held for the designation OF on
GERS TO administer the governments. IL says
the declaration Of Har made against the non-
federacy by Abraham Lincoln, renders it
necessary to convene congress TO devise
means % replepish the treasury, and for the
defence Of the country. The President them
reviews the relations heretofore existing be-
tween the States, and the events which have
resulted 10 the present warfare. Referring
20 the rcsult of the mission Of the Uommis.
sioners to Washington, he says the crooked
paths can scarcely furnish % example 90
wanting in conrtesy, candor and direCtness,
az was the course Of tho u. s. Government
towards the Commissi oners. The President
incidentally refers to the prudent caution
observed by ths feet at Charleston during
the bombardment OF Fort Sumter, and pays
high compliments to tho Caroiinans for their
fnrboarance before, and heroism during, and
magnanimity after tho bombardment. He
feeemmends the appointments OF diplomatic
agents. He says the Confederscy through
Mr.. Stevens had concluded . convention With
Virginia, which has united her powers and
fortunes with 10. He has satisfactory -.
surancs that other Southern States will soon
stake their fortunes with ours. He says the
most Of the executive departments are 10
ssccessful operation; the Postmaster Gene.
raj can soon be ready TO assume the direc
-tion of postal a1fairs. In conclusion, he
congrssulates the Confederacy on the pstri-
otto devotion exhibited by the people Of the
Confcderacy. The railway companies pro
pose liberal rates for the transportation of
malls, and will receive 10 compensation the
bonds Of tho Oonfe deracy.
lie ssys = people thus united and resolved,
cannot fail OF final success. Our cadse il
just and holy, and we protest solemnly 10
tho face OF mankind, that We desire peace at
any sacrifice save that Of honor and indie
pendence. We seek no conquest, 90 az
grandizement, no concession from the free
States oil Ne ask 10 TO be let alone, that
none shall attempt our subjugation BY arms.
This We will and must resist to the direst
extremity. The moment thiA intention 10
abandoned the sword will drop from our
grasp, and we shall be ready to enter into
treaties Of smity, commerce mutually ben
e6cial, 90 long as this pretension 10 main
taincd, with q firm reliance on that divine
power which covere with Ills protection the
just cause. We will continue to struggle for
our inherent right to freedom, independence
and self-government.

twenty one thousand muske,s, Eve hundred
rides, Eve hundred revolvers, one hundred

Judge Bond OF the Criminal Court, charged
the Grand Jury this morning. He called A.
tention particularly to the attack OF the mob
on the military on the 10Th Of April, that
the guilty might be brought to puniahment.
Reoiting the occurrences Of the 10Th Of April,
be said: 1t is your duty, gentlemen, under
the solemn oaths you have taken, impartial
~ to inquire into these OCCURS nces and pre-
sent such persons a. have taken part 10 the

upon your faithful discharge Of this duty
You will inquire whether there was precou-

ding their passage. At the same time il 10
your duty to inquire whether any Of our own

to property, the breaking into stores, the as.

and illegal armIng of troops and the attempt
by organizations unknown to the law, to
