on measure of which several millions
of human beings of an inferior race,
peaceful and contended, laborions in
their sphere are doomed to extermina-
ton, while at the same time, they are
encouraged to a general assassination Of
their masters by the insidious recon-
mendation to abstain from violence I'M
less in necessary self defence.
Our own detestatiOn of those who have
attempted the most execrable massacre,
recorded in the history of guilty man, is
tinctured by profound sentiment of
contempt Tor the impotent rage which it
discloses. As far as regards the actions
Of this Government on such criminals as
may attempt its execution, l confne my
self to inform yon that shall, unless in
your wisdom, you deem some other
course more eXpedient deliver to the
several Stote authorities, all commits
stoned officers Of the u S, that may be
hereafter captured by our forces in any
of the States embraced in the proclama-
ton, that they may be dealt with in ac-
cordance with the laws of those Stotes
provided for the Punishment of criminals
engaged in executing servile instruction.
In its political aspect, this measure pos
sessed great Specification, and to it in
this light would invite your attention.
1t affords to our people the complete and
browning proof of the true nature and
designs of the party which elevated to
power the present occupant of the Presi-
Dental chair at Washington, and which
sought to conceal its purpose by the per-
fidious use the most solemn and repeat
ed pledges.
Speaking of the financial affairs of the
Confederacy, he says it is true, at the
end of the war our debt will be large, but
it will be due to our own people, and
neither the interest or capital will be ex-
ported to distant countries impoverishing
ours for their benefit.
The summary of military successes he
ascribes to Congress which enacted the
! CONSUMPTION laws and organized the
army as well as to the spirit of unity and
endurance and the devotion of the peo-
pie. While congratulating the Con-
federacy on the friedly relations with the
Indian tribes, he deprecates the hostility
| Of portion of the Cherokees
Referring TO the report of the Secretary
of the Navy, he speaks of the progress
made since the last session of Congress,
but withholds details from publication at
present.
In conclusion, he says the energies OF
the whole nation have accomplished our
selves, and our trials have been con-
converted into blessings, and then
winds mp with a prayer for the restora-
ton of peace.
In the House resolution was intro
duced and referred looking to the recall
OF the Confederate Commissioners
abroad, eulogizing France for her en-.
deavor to influence European interven
