Jsn. Davis Message.

The Rebel Congress met in Richmond on
Monday, Nov. 7th., aud received the usual
address from Mr.. Jefferson Davis. IL Is
a rather mild document, Mr.. Davis having
apparently recovered from the frenZy oil
franknsss into which be fell on his late
Southern tour. At present he wears
face Of eheerfulness. and whistles with shrll
good spirits through three columns or so Of
dinghy printed Richmond paper. He
rejoices, as he he's reason, over success in
the trans Mississippi department; the re-
coLq~est and for some lime pertinent occu
patton OF Texas. greet part Of Arkansas,
aud nearly NJ Louisiana. On this side the
great river there is less TO boast Of but the
re-possession Of parts OF Mississippi. North
ern Alabama and Western Tennessee. Is
rather loosely sfirmed. II is alleged thai
all incusious upon the seaboard have been
prevented, save at Mobile; that Grant has
Vainly iiied four months to take Peters
burg; that Sheridan had to burn the Shen-
sDdosh Valley because be could not hold

q barren conquest TO Sherman. Mr.. Da-
Wis considers the small results obtained
by the possession OF Atlanta ought 10 con-

rh.n,,.s,,ins Hymn.


God Of the passing year, to thee
Our hymn OF gratitude we raise;
With swelling heart and bending knee,
We offer thee our song OF praise.
We bless thy name, Almighty God
For all the kindness thou hast shown
To this fair land our fathers trod,
This land we fondly call our own.
Here freedom spreads her banner wide,
And casts her soft and hallowed ray;
Fer thou our countrys arms didst guide,
And lead them on their conquered way.
We praise thee, that the gospel light,
Through all our land Its radiance sheds;
Scatters the shades of error night,
And heavenly blessings round us spreads.
When foes without, and foes within,
With threatening ills our land have pressed,
Thou hast our nations bulwark been,
And, smiling; sent us peaceful rest.
o God, preserve us in thy fear,
In troubulous times our helper be;
Diffuse thy truths bright precepts here,
And may we worship only thee.
