The Enquirer on the Message.


The Richmond Enquirer, in its notice Of the
Presidents Message, says:
"The important point urged by the message that four
of the States of the Csnfedeacy have been already
years acknowledged independent ssveregntes and
accepted allies England and France first brought
to public notice elaborate and able letter to the En-
Qute by the venerable Hugh Blair Grgsby in reply to
Hstoricus of the London Times" Tile PreskIeat has
concentrated the argunen and piled in the mott pooer.
ful manner to present relations Ui foreign nations
Of course the President is much obliged to Mr..
Grigsby. 1t was fortunate for the President that
Mr.. Grigsby wrote on the subject The Enquirer
compliments the President for "the powerful man.
ner" in which he has concentrated" and sap
piled" the argument of Mr.. Grigsby.
Again, the Enquirer says:
"The financial affairs of the Coufederacy treated by
the message in precisely the recommended by the
Enquirer"
Happy Enquirer most unegotstical Enquirer!
The President has treated our financial affairs in
"precisely the manner recommended by the En-.
quirer." OF course the President is also greatly
obliged to the Enquirer. But for Mr.. Grigsby and
the Enquirer, it is evident that the message would
have been entirely wanting in historical allusion as
well as in the originality and soundness Of its fnan
cal views.

POINTED PREAcHMG.-Father Moody was an ex.
centric man. He had in his congregation Col.
Ingraham, a wealthy farmer, who had kept back
his large stock of corn from the market in hope of
raising the price. The pastor heard CT it, and
solved to make public attack upon the transgres-
sor. One Sabbath he read for his text "He that
withholdeth the corn the people shall curse him;
but blessings shall be upon the head of him that
selleth It." Prov. XII: g. Col. Ingraham could not
but know to whom reference was made, but he held
up his head and faced his pastor with look of
stolid unconsciousness. Father Moody went on
with very strong remarks, became still warmer and
touched the Colonel still more closely, who, how
ever still held up his head, apparently determined
not to feel At last the preacher lost all patience,
and cried out "Col Ingraham, you know That
mean you; why don't you hang down your head ?'

The Wadesboro argus stated some days ago.
that it was rumored that certain persons in Mont
gomery County, were in favor Of reconstruction, and
that they had requested that certain men address
them in public meeting. The last Argus says, ITO
our utter astonishnent we learn that public senti
ment had settled upon Hon. Alfred Dockery and 0.
H. Dockery as the men alluded to-" The Argus
says that it is authorized to say that public sen-
ment, in this respect, is entirely erroneous.
In this connection, it is proper for US to remark
that for days the story has been bruted about
this city, that Gen. A. Dockery was reeonstruc-
ZIONIST, but knowing the anxiety of the Destruc-
tives to injure and malign every man who has been
at all identified with the Conservative cause in North
Carolina, We regarded it Destructive fasehood,
made of the whole cloth.
So far as our information extends, there are no
sounder Southern Conservative men in the State
than Gen. Dockery and his son, Col o. H. Dockery.
The Colonel has given proof positive Of bis devotion
to the cause, and we have no doubt Gen. D.ckery
has done more for it than many of his maligners.-

Presidents Message.


The message of President Davis, which we pub
lish to-day, will Of couyse be carefully perused by
all our readers.
That portion Of the message which is devoted to
our foreign relations is especially interesting and
able We are sorry to learn, rs we do from the
message, that foreign powers have acted in such q
way as to favor our enemies and injure us; and
that the prospect of recognition as an indepen-
dent power, is by no means cheering.
While approving. much contained in this docu.
ment and while anxious to approve specially as well
as generally, the sentiments and acts of Chief
Magistrate we regret to perceive that the President
is still disposed to thrust his peculiar and ultra Sc
cession views upon the country. His own "sa-
gacity," and the "sagacity" of particular States
Of the Confederacy in "foreseeing" certain results
referred to in spirit Of complacency and self
praise not altogether suitable to the occasion, and
which is calculated to reflect njuriously on large
portions of our people, especially in the border
States Mr.. Davis has not yet learned that it is
impossible for the people of these States to agree as
to the causes Of the revolution rather as to the
wisdom of those acts which, in secondary sense
were instrumental in producing it; or, if he has
learned this it does not suit his purpose to avolc
illusions, which, however well intended, are mo-
calculated to promote harmony among our people
We are glad to see that the President recommends
the repeal of the twenty negro exemption law.
we were as vain or rather as silly as the RICHMOND
Enquirer, we would claim that the President hae
made this recommendation in "precise accordance
with our views"
