WASHINGTON, JAN. 10Th.
The following was received ut the Navy
Department to-day, dated Cairo, Jan. 18th,
1880 p. NJ:
UNITED STATES MISSISSIPPI SQUADRON.
Arkansas Post, Jan. llth, 1868.
To Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary Of the
Navy:
Sir: The gunboats Louisville, De Kalb,

received his sword. The army cooperated
on the land side. The forts were completely
silenced, and the guns, eleven in number,
were oil dismounted IN three hours. The
action was at close quarters on the part OF
the iron-clads and the firing splendid. The
list of killed and wounded is small. The
Louisville lost IL, tho Dc Kalb II, the Gin
cinnati none. the Lexington none, the Rather
2. The vessels, although much cut up, were
ready for action in half an hour alter tho

jeff. Davis Massage.

JEFF. Davis, in his annual message to the
rebel Congress, announces the following as
being his views Of the Presidents emancipa.
ton proclamation, in its moral and political
aspects:
In relation to President Lincoln's enamel.
patton proclamation, he says he may we'll
leave it to the instinct of that common hu.
mainly which benefcent Creator has im.
planted in tho breasts of our fellow-men in
all countries, to pass Judgment on measure
of which several millions of human beings
of an inferior race, peaceful and contented
laborcrs in their sphere, are doomed to ex'
termination, while Mt tho same time they are
encouraged to general assassination of their
masters by the insidious recommendation to
abstain from violence unless in necessary
self.defense. Our own detestation OF those
who have attempted the most execrable mas
sacre recorded in the history of guilty man
Is tinc,ured by profound sentiment for the
impotent rage which it discloscs. AS far as
regards the action Of this government on
such criminals as may attempt its execution.
confine myself to informing you that 1
shall, unless in your wisdom you deem some
other course more expedient, deliver to the
State authorities all commissioned officers OF
the United States that may hereafter DO cap.
tured by our forces in any Of the States EN-.
braced in the proclamation, that they may
DO dealt with in accordance with the laws of
those States providing for the punishment OF
criminals engaged in exciting servilo insur-
rection.
In its political aspect this measure PROBES.
ses great Specification, and to II in this light
l invite your attention. II affords to our
people the complete and browning proof of
the true nature of tho designs Of tho party
which elevated to the power the present oc.
cupant Of the Presidential chair at WASH
ington, and which sought TO conceal its pur.
poses by every variety Of artful grace and by
the perfdious use Of tho most solemn and
repeated pledges on every practicable occa-
sion.
He gives extracts from Lincoln's inaugu-
raj, and comments fully upon the subsequent
acts by Congress and tho Administration.
He urges enactment of law to hasten the
funding of the outstanding Treasury notes,
fixing the ultimate period for this purpose
not later than the lst Of July next, so as to
effect the withdrawal Of notes issued prior
to the lst of last December.
