The Last Message OfJea. Davis

The Richmond Wing Of May 4th con-
tsins the last message Of the rebel Presi.
dent, and comments npOn the document.
The message evidently does not furnish
much encouragement, so far as its pIoba
bic effect abroad is concerned, for the Wing
regards ell efforts on paper 10 convince
Europe that they should be recognized as
an independent power, eminently fer
tile, and confesses that they must main
tain their independence by force before
they can hope to bssk Ii the smiles Of Eu-
rOpesn favor. The Whig endeavOrs to
prove that such precedent has never been
established, snd that people like the re
bells should be recognized, and interven-
ton should take place, precisely as it took
place in Greece.
JEFF. Davis himself says that he sees no
prospect Of q change in the course hitherto
pursued by European Governments. BE
oonfesses: at is enough for us to know
that every avenue Of negotiation is closed
against us: that our enemy is making re
neWed and strenuous efforts for our de-
struotion and that the sole resources for
rs, ss q people secure in the justice Of our
cause, and holding our liberties to be
more precious than all other earthly pos
session, is to combine and apply every
available elements Of power for their de-
fense and preservation"
Jef is also highly grsti6ed with the
fortunes Of the rebel arms up to the time
Of his message How he now feels is
easily coDjectured. We trust that he will
speedily fall into the hands of General
Butler, who win take excellent care Of his
majesty.
he also endeavOrs to Justify his extra
ordinary use Of the power in his hands, in
rspressing sll opposition from his rebel
liOus subjects. Altogether, the message,
though brief, is q sorry STAIR.

Prices and warssin nIrr..

The pay Of rebel soldier is SII per
month; SO that his wages FOR four months
would very nearly purchase a pound each

Three yedTs' pay would buy his family a
barrel Of Flour, yard of Calico, q pound

A years pay would very nearly purchase
a gallon Of Common Whisky, and two

Of boots. Indeed, almost anything mipbt

Military matters in Virginia remain un-
decided. Il is stated that General Lee's
army is yet in the vicinity of spOttsyl-
vaniA while Gen. Grant is in his imme-
diats vicinity, recupersting before finally
moving forward. II can scarcely be sup
posed that Lee will remain there to try
his strength sgsin, when it is SO easy for
him to take up the south side Of the North
Anna river, and among the highlands,
bordering upon that stream, await the
shock Of battle. The little streams to be
passed before reaching the North Anna
river, can not prove very strong position
for defence, while the Virginia Central
Railroad, now so essential to Lee, and the
river running parallel to it, will be the
strongest position outside of the fortihca-
tons Of Richmond.
But General Grant cannot long be i'm.
peded, even by that line of defense, IS it
may be easily fsnked by crossing the river
lower down in the vicinity Of Hanover
Court House.
1t is rumored that Lee has detached q
large portion Of his army to move against
Butler who is now holding the railroad
south Of Richmond But, we have no fears
that be viii be allowed to do this, unless
he can vastly outmsrch Grant. Nor is
there reason to think that Buffers army,
entrenched ss it is on a peninsula, and
guarded BY gunbOsts, win prove an easy
victim to the whole Of Lees army, If it
could be transferred. On the whole, we
feel that the only great obstacle is provi-
sioning Grants army, and undoubtedly,
arrangements have been made, providing
against any danger from that direction
On the whole, the horizon is Frightening
aIl the while.
