The Dead Of manassa-

glorious victory of our brave troops, to re-
member that our greatest obligations are due

lect always, that these men died. that we
might live-that they died for us. Let uni
versal dirge roll over the land. Let every
heart do fitting honor to the Dead Of lHanas
sa." Let their memory be embalmed in our
heart OF hearts. We claim common herr
tage with the Mortimer, in the glories OF
Bunker Hill, of Lexington, and of Concord.
We contributed tothe result of Brandywiue,
Of Cowpens, and of Yorktown. Who shall
gainsay our right?
These scenes are being re enacted. These
battles are being re-fOught-the Battle of
Freedom and Independence against Tyranny
and Usurpation. May God defend the right
The brave men, who at ManasSa, laid down
their lives, did SO in glorious cause. They
fought for rights dear to every man-they
spent their best blood, that we might reap
the rich fruition of their efforts. Tennessee
blood was freely spent on that day. Ten
nesseans sustained the prestige of their State.
They charged, and charged, and charged
again. They faltered cot in the dread hour
of fierce conflict. Tennesseans bore Ten
nessee's banner high in the breeze of Battle,
resolved that we, who al home record their
glories, should be Tennesseans still-shOuld
still be free-tbat we should not say to them:
"You have been recreant!'
Let the Tory and the Traitor with hidden
delight, detail bow We lost our best blood,
but let the Patriot and the man forever cher

laid down their lives on their cOuntry's altar.
Let US then with one acclaim, do honor 10
the dead Of MandssG." Let US tell their
deeds in future years to our children, and let
MS say to them, that the highest and hottest
duty they owe to their God and to their
country, is TO initiate their noble example
Thus shall we keep alive among Us the spir-
IL that Inspired the heroes of 70. and the no
less glorious heroes OF '6L.

speech of GOV. Jackson. OF Missouri.

Gov. Claiborne F. jackson, of Missouri
who was stopping on last night al the Gayoso
House, en- route for Richmond, favored a
large crowd of our citizens, who called for
him after tea, with a brief but cheering aud
eloquent speech. He made a feeling allu-
sion TO the terrible condition Of affairs in his
State, and the strenuous efforts that were
being made by the Lincoln government to
subjugate and dJwn-tread her gallant peo-
pie. A hundred thousand troops, be said,
could readily be raised to do battle for the
southern cause, provided they could get the
requisite arms. He had lett twenty five or
thirty thousand men under Generals McCul-
loeb and Price, who, being armed, had
marched on Springfield the day OF his de-
parture, with the view Of attacking Seigel's
forces now quartered at that place. By this
time the attack has doubtless been made.
The governor was quite sanguiDe OF re-
deeming bis State from the thraldom of the
Lincoln despotism, but desired the eo-opera-
ton of Tennessee and the other Southern
States by way OF expediting The matter.
After cheer upon cheer bad sttested the
popular appreciation OF the gallant jack
soo's speech, Gems. Polk and Pillow and DIR.

RICHMOND, July 6, 1861.
To ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President and
C5mmander-n-Chisf of the Army and
Nary of the United States:
SIR-Having learned that the schooner
Savannah, private armed vessel in the
service and sailing under commission is
sued by authority of the Confederate States
of America, had been captured by one of the
vessels forming the biockading squadron of
Charleston harbor. directed a proposition to
be made to the officer commanding that squa-
dron for an exchange of the officers and crew
of the Savannah for prisoners OF war held by
this government according to number and
rank" To this proposition, made on the
18th ult.. Captain Mercer, the officer in COM
mand of the blockading squadron. made an
swer on the same day that 1.-THE prisoners ire
ferred toy are not on board OF any OF the
vessels under my command"
1t now appears, by statements made with
out contradiction in newspapers published in
New York, that the prisoners above mention
ed were conveyed to that city, and have been
treated not as prisoners OF war, but as crimi-
nails that they have been put in irons con-
fned in Jail, brought before the courts of
justice on charges of piracy and treason, and
il is even rumored that they have been actu-
ally convicted of the offences charged, for
no other reason than that they bore arms in
defence OF the rights oil this government and
under the authority OF its commission.

A TIMELY AND IMPORTANT DIscovERT.-The
Savannah Republican of Monday says: Fri
day last, as merchant OF this city was ex-
amining the coatents of a bonded warehouse,
he came across several boxes marked 'Dia-
mond B. that had been lying there uncalled
for since early in the Spring. Upon further
examination, they were found to contain q
half million of the first quality percussion
caps, such as are used in the army. Two 9th
er boxes, upon being opened, revealed a
large quantity of patent friction primers.
These articles have come to light in the very
nick of time, and We learn they will be taken
possession of and judicionsly distributed by
the military commsndant Of this post"

The Presidents Message.

We have waited for correct copy of the
late message of Prest. DAVIS 20 the Congress
of the Confederate States, and, having re-
ceived it, in the Richmond papers of Monday,
lay it before the readers of the PATRIOT. II
is an able production.
We cordially endorse the comments of the
Richmond Enquirer upon it, as follows:
The Message of President DAVIS will sound
throughout our Confederacy like the notes of
a clarion. 1t will both delight and arouse
our people. Its review of the conduct of
President Lincoln, wildly sketches perfidy
almost unequalled, and a mendaeity so low
as to be Unconscious of its shame. The peo-
pie of the Confederate States will indeed re-
ioice that they have escaped the rule of such
q usurpation by such a usurper as Lincoln,
and connection with people who can sub
NIT to il.
President DAVIS does but Justice, but he
does il handsomely, TO the spirit which ami
males our people, in the conclusion of his sd-
mirabIe message, This message shows that
be appreciates them; and the people on their
part appreciate him, and will respond to his
patriotic sentiments and his gallant spirit,
with an ardor equal TO his own. We cordial
ly commend the message to that universal
perusal which its merits demand. Brief
though it il, it will do much good.
