Davis Message.

The inaugural of this functionary has been
given to the world. We have not been fa-
vored with chance to peruse- the document
but we learn that its general drift and pur-
port is of desponding character. No at
tempt is made to account for the recent dis
asters to the rebel arms beyond admitting
that the policy of his insurrection has been
all wrong. Henceforth the war is to be con-
Quoted on different principles and with more
vigor. If this has the meaning that the pub
will attach to it, Mcclellan will direct that
the hospitals be placed beyond the range of
the rebel guns, and interdict the use of wa
ter in all wells that have once been in the
rebel possession.
Hav isis no great hand at writing messages.
His forte lays in some other department. His
promise that he would plant the flag Of re
bellion on the ''perilous crest OF battle, and
around it the best and bravest will gather to
she harvest home of death" is apparently as
far from redemption as the bonds of the pu-
issant State of Mississippi once repudiated
by the adyice of Davis. Whom the IhSd
loveth, . we are told, ''he chasteneth-". If
this is so, good argument is drawn in favor
Of Davis future chances, for he has not only
been sorely chastened, but exceedingly
chased. The Confederate bond dodge is
about played out. He can, however, as his
won't, repudiate the old and issue new ones,
after the fashion of the individual who had
run his face' until it would no longer go,
and then adopted the expedient of shaving
the back of his head, and tried that. Rebel
lion is very dead.

lFrom the Macon, (Miss. y Beacon, June 4th. gb
a great deal of stimulated indignation has
been reused against Gen. Butler on account
OF his rather coarse order respecting tho

qualifiedly condemn the style of this pronun-
ciamento, We cannot withhold our ccnsuvs
from those ladies who SO far forgetful Of that
modesty and reserve with which woman
should always cncirclc herself have stepped
from the pale Of womanly propriety, and in
suit strangers in tho very streets Of their
city. W hen this is the case, woman always
subjects herself to censurc, If not insult
Neither time nor circumstances will shield
her from the inevitable consequence; whether
her intentions are insulting or otherwise, she
is no longer invulnerabc when that beautiful
shield she holds before herself and contact
with strangers, is withdrawn, for suspicion
always attaches itself to such demonstrations.
Is there any father who would wish to SEQ
his daughter Haunting through the streets,
and insulting those in whose power fato has
thrown the city Of his residence; or, on the
contrary, how would confederate officer act.
should woman, or lady, with federal pro-
cliyities, publicly flaunt the stars and stripes
in his face, and use insulting expressions in
the streets where his duty to his government
had called him.
Is it not better. is it not moro consonant
with the nature OF women, to shrink from all
contact, all communications Of whatever
character, with enemies and strangers, and
thus vindicate her sex from unworthy sus.
pcion and insure protection from insult and
abuse. .....

subjects of slavery and secession

Lost your rights Well, have determined
to give all those who say this chance to
get their rights by sending them off South to
fight for their rights, and give them in ex.
change for some Of those poor fellows in the
rebel army who have found their rights and
want to come home.
don't think these fellows who bluster
about rights have much appetite for fighting.
Some of them would rather 60 to the devil
than enter the army. Rights, indeed They
gave me mine by turning my sick wife and

Now, keep forcing this issue upon the pco.

says" there is sort of ono-korse loyalty
which attempts to swectcn the bitter task OF
condemning treason, by classifying secession
lists with abolitionlsts, as equally enemies OF
the government. There is class of poll
ticians who have been engaged for years in
abusing abolitionists as the enemies of the
Union. All at once they find their old asso.
ciates turned traitors, and learn that they
have been made tools of the only men in the
country who had any designs against the
government. What to do? How to get out
of their most uncomfortable and notifying
predicamcnt They cannot give up thcil
pet notion, that the abolitionists are very
black traitors, for they learned that of the
southern traitors. who were the only true
national men, only year or two ago. I,
is not safe for them, any longer to uphold the
southern traitors. 1t might put them behind
