WAsmEGToE, November 10 In tho Rich
moud papers of Tuesday, received here to-day, is
published JyT, Davis message to the Rebel
Congress It is long aud well-written docu-
ment, reviewing in full the foreign and domestic
relations Of the CmICdcrUcy.
The military situation of the Confederlcy Mr..
Davis considers cheerful and hopeful. He says
thpt the campaign o + the present year has been
favorable to them. lie by no means despairs OF
ultimate success ana rcatirms his oft.repeated de-
t,rminat,On tLatno negotiations for peace will be
entertained with the North that do not recognize
thc Independence of the South.
In regard to arming the slaves he objects, but
recommends that forty thousand slaves be formed
into pioneer corps. lie says the South has plenty
Of white troops with which 10 gain her independ-
ence, but that if the choice ever arises between
aiming TIE slaves and the subiugation of the
South, every slave will be armed.
The whole message is full Of hypocritical ap-
pe0ls to the Almighty, and the old twaddIe about
the righteousness Of the Rebel cause. It is free
from all dependency, however, and one would
think the Coniederacy is already Government
both de Jlae and Se tact0.

VOTING IN THE ARMY.
Two Philadelphia Agents Arrested,

HEADQUARTERS Army OF TIB PoroMAc,
November "a flag Of truce, asked for by the
enemy, was granted yesterday morning, to bury
the bodies of those who were killed in the attack
on Saturday night in the centre.
The enemy acknowledge loss Of two hundred
killed and wounded Our men secured about
forty muskets, besides other trophies belonging
to the Rebels. Equally as many more arc still
on the ground between the lines.
General Mott issued a c5ngratulatory order 10
the troops engaged in the affair for their gallant
conduct.
AT a meeting of the Third Corps Uqion, which
was held at headquarters of the Third Division
of the Third Corps, on the jh instant resolutions
expressive Ofregret at the loss OF Major-Gene
BiTney were passed. and a copy of them ordered
TO be sent to his family. y
The election yesterday, throughout this army,
passed off very quietly-thc enemy even seeming
to appreciate the importance of the occasion, as
firing was almost entirely suspended during the
day. The Pennsylvania regiments on duty on
the picket line were generally relieved the night
previous, to enable them to vote, and it is be-
heved that no one who desired to do 50 was de-
MED the privilege.
There were, however few absent on a recon-
noissance, but il is thought they returned in time
to hold an election. The voting is much heavier
than it was last month, as the returns will show.
Two agents from Philadelphia, Robert Miles
ard Patrick Carrigan, were arrested by the Pro-
vest Marshal at General Miles headquarters, on
the charge OF having in their possession blanks
with the names of electors spelled wrong and
one name left out. They were taken to the
corps headquarters, but their case has not yet
been decided.

The Secretary of the Treasury will announce

people, it should lose no time in reforming
It's financial policy. The old expedients in
the way of manufacturing money, however neces-
sary In the past, cannot longer be depended upon.
There must be higher taxes and more thorough
collection of them, and loans must be made to
play su ubordinate part in supplying the Trea-
sury. The plan of getting money by subscription
must be abandoned, and loans sold upon the
market for what they will command. In words
the national credit, strongly fortified by taxes,
must be put squarely in competition with all
minor credits. IL has been determined that tho
nation shall live. Its bonds are the first mortgage

4 letter OF J. VI. Bolts, previously rett:rre,!
TO, is published in the Washington Star. Il
is a reply to an invitation to accept an election
to the T. S. Senate from the legislature SIT
ting in Alexandria He says :-''lo the pre-
sent condition Of the country, and Of the state
Of which [ am ''natiye here and to The manner
born" could not with propriety, aud with
nv convictions Of duty, accept any appoint
ment at the hands Of either Of the numerous
governments, now exercising Legislative powers
over any of the dismembered fragments, Of
what once constituted the proud and revered
old commonwealth OF Virginia. He speaks
Of the ''poor down trodden, shattered, heart
lessly .crifced and dilapidated' condition Of
the State, which ne says has been brought
about by the blundcrs and miscalculations OF
her leading and long trusted statesmen, He
says, that his own advice has been hitherto
spurned that he has taken his present posi-
ton from the convictions of his best judgment,
that he may yet be Of ''some service in heal
inc those dissens;ols and distractions growing
out OF the grossest misrepresentation and
frauds that now divide the nation, the State,
and almost every locality, to greater or less
extent; and which, though smothered for the
time have never yet been extinguished
that he must not permit any shadow OF suspl-
cion to attack to his unselish patriotism'
and concludes by expressing his belief as fol-
lows:-'I have reason to think, the hallucina~
ton is passing off. and is heing rapidly dissi~
pated by the terrible ordeal to which the for
tunes of the South have been subjected, and ii
NAV he, at least I am not without hope, that
at future day, may in some way stand as a
link between the North and the South, BY
which the chain that once bound them togeth-
er, NAV again connect them, and to this COM
plexion It must come at last; for neither
passion, nor prejudice, nor suffering, nor want,
nor nor hunger. nor pride, nor strife can endure
forever and the time must come, When! men
will look at things as they are, and no longer
close their eyes at bright midday, and swear
the sun does nottshine, because they desire To
shut out theight.' .
