NEWS OF THE DAY.
THE WAR.

JEFF. Davis's Message to his Congress ia printed
In the Richmond papers Of yesterday, and an alb
sract reaches us by telegraph. It's keynote is the
entire independence Of the so-called Confederacy,
and upon that stipulation only can there be any at
tempt at peace. He has no idea of armstice OF or.
sangemeDt on any other basis.
We have, this morning, the report of the Senate
Select Committee TO inquire into the cbartering Of
vessels for the Government and particularly for the
Banks expedition. They conclude, as a general
proposition, that higher rates are demanded and
paid for Government service, than are received in
the ordinary employment Of such vessels. This is
attributable, doubtless, in part to the character and
condition Of the service and the demand created by
the new and additional employment, but in the main
10 the result of the method pursued for procuring
the charters which has had tho effect to shut out
competition. The remedy suggested, and to which
much importance is attached, is that Of inviting
competition, giving the shipOwpers Of the country
an opportunity to make proposals without nterven-
ton Of Government agents, and an enforcement OF
the law, which imposes fine and imprisonment upon
those in the employment, who, for consideration,
procure contracts of any description.
Congress q few days since inquired what had
been done toward enforcing the Confscation laws In
the District Of Columbia. Tho Atorney-General
replies that in substance, nothing has been done;
the law is defective and he suggests some amend
meuts which would remedy delay and make the
work more simple.

Well, We don't envy the elegance of our
Southern friends; we rather admire it. 1t
comes Of having such perfect model OF pro-
priety at the head of their affairs as Jefferson
Davis is. 1t is not customary, we believe, for
the Head of one Bclligerent Power to call the
Presiding Genns Of another Belligerent Power
a BabOon, as this Davis called Mr. Lincoln, IN
a speech OF Mobile. The Kings of England
have thought terrible things Of tho Kings of
France, but they have never styled them mon
keys, nor made allusion to wooden shoes and
frog. soup ia their speeches to Parliament. 1t
was Swift, and not the Prime Minister who
had so much to say of Louis Baboon. But the
President of the Confcderacy" forestalls the
penuy. liners and cheats the pamphleteers out
OF their perquisites; which proves that II not
gentleman be is that mysterious next-thDg-to't
sometimes denominated QUITE GENTLEMAN.

r,xAyION AND ECONOMY.

IL is rot q question of how much 1t viii cost,
but where will the nation be. if clt mp into

countries and what the! have suffered, and
how they have grunted and sweated, is not
satisfactory statement for our national taxation.
We must look at the special resources of this
country-at what can be produced in q new
world, with unparalleled agricultural resources
and genius for mechanical invention applied to
al the arts OF life in the household and field
equally with the workshop and factcry-before
We draw bald deductions as to what We can

tus yesterday, at Richmond, in the Message of
Jefferson Davis to the Rebel Congress. With
q consistency worthy Of better cause,
the Confederate President assures his
friends, his enemies, and the world at
large, that the only possible way to secure
peace is the complete and unqualified recogDl'
ton of the national independence of the Sc
coded States OF course every loyal man ex'
pected Just this and no more; but its reitera-
ton is timely, to expose the treacherous
scheme Of the Northwestern Secession De-
mocracy. Whoever now talks of peace,
without demanding as the first step the CON-
plete subjugatiOn of the Rebels, is not only a
traitor, but wretched coward; his only Pur-
pese is to insure the final disruption OF the
Union and the establishment on ITS ruins Oh
the great Southern slavebolding Oligarchy.

VAILASDaGHAM.

There was a man in Rome who made him.
self notorious by denying that Virgil was
poet The name, too, OF Erostotratus has come
down to us, az tho gentleman who fred the
Ephesian dome, but the name Of tue gentleman
who built it is not to be found IN the historical
directory. These and similar facts of by-gOne
times are not lost upon men Of our own time.
In fact, we take them 10 be. par exceltence, the
beacon lights of history to large class. Fer
nando Wood is not simply famous for piece
of unprecedented good luck under the statute OF
limitations but he is best known as the Mayor
Of New-York who defed, instead Of sustaining,
authOrity--nnd had to be brought to his senses
by tho presence of the Seventh Regiment
ranged in front Of tie City Hall. Now, al
ordinary hum.drum Mayor, who is merely
gentleman, and does not violate Ills
official duty, is forgotten very soon, while Tue
Wood still maintains his place in the mouths
of men. lie is famous. Fame, said Napoleon
is having your name repeated CERTAIN num-
Der of times. 1t must be, too, lust after this
certain number of times that stimulates Val
landigham into the frenzies OF bis career, IN
/" miuistering to the arts which usher to de-
struction." Vsllandigbam is an ordinary sort
of man. Ho is not q classcist; not distin-
guished for culture, for brilliancy, solidIty,
or mental grasp. On the Republican side
of tho House he would be monument
ly oycrshadowcd by dozeus Of members
whom We could name. But in the Opposi-
tion--in the Opposition to the verge OF
Secession, Valandgham prospers. He might
have made loyal speech when in this city
which would have been forgotten along with
other loyal speeches; but be ut;ers one to the
selvage of treason, aud overlapping it in fact
and that becomes food for indignant comment;
and 50 the Naandigham man has his name
repeated becomes famous, aud 10 satisfied for
the nolce. But there are so many people Ia
this country, scattered over so wide surface,
of such associated antecedents, that fame is
only kept up here BY day times the effort re-
CURED to sustain O reputation in the homoge-
peous POPULATIONS of London or Paris, where a
name made answers for the whole empire
So the theory OF Iteration and relterati0n must
be resolved acutey into practice, in order 10
keep up the blast Of fame. Accordingly we
have Valandigham again on the Government
and Secession. Not that there is anything new
in his last effort. No! it is simply rehash.
IA the time il short in which he can speak
from his present conspicuous position, it is
only natural in "a man of that sort to make tie
most OF 1t.
What can be hoped for by such attacks on
tho Government except the bald notoriety at
tending them We are engaged in tho con-
test money and blood must DO spent; but the
least money and the leat. blood will be eI-
pended just in proportion as the people are
Unanimous in their support Of the Govern
ment and just in proportion rs the repre-
sentatives of tie people embody the spirit Of
Liberty and Union and not that OF Slavery aud
Disunlon.
