that we' bad 'been an agricultural people, and that our
facilities for manufacturing materials of war were ex

to th i libit casual observer, we had riovf an army

, : COCRIPTION 'AND EXEMPTrOSf LAWS. ' ;
He. alluded to the conscription aucLcxemption laws
of Congress, cxpla ning the necessity of the""" one
a d the intention' of the other.' ' Vassorry to perceive
that there, had been a false construction put upon the
first of these laws. , There was no dishonor in being,
ctitiscriptedj The Government has as much right to
make laws requiring the services f it ei izens in the
.n my as to compel them to work public roads or to
pay taxes. The object of that portion of the exemp
tion law.-which -exempted the ovyiier, agent or over
seer of twenty negroes, was not in tended todmwany
distinction whatever, between" classes. No benefit
Was intended to the rich from it. It was simply to
provide a polit-e force whicW Congress thought ueces
ksary, and to facilitate the agricultural productions" of
the country to 'supply the wants ot . both ttie poor
people auci the army. ; Any law intended to bear un
fairly : upon the poor, even to a feather's weight, would
never have received his signature. "The - p-or have
fought our battles," says the President, "and so have
the ricb." The poorin all revolutions are the main
stay and props of the country. But while the poor
have nobely done their duty, we have 1 no cause to
complain of the rich. All have done well and many
of the wealthiest and most distinguished families in
the South have sons in the rauks. He instanced Hon
Israel Welsh and others, who had fought as privates
in the bloodiest engagements of the war. He thought
there might be very . properly a' revision of ! the ex
emption law, ;and trusted there would bo no coflict
between Confederate and State law upon thej subject
of-the military. That there should be ho war with
States ; ' and if any .State chose to inflict a blow upon
the common cause; by enacting conflicting military
laws, . he'hoped that Mississippi would be the last to
ad pt such a euicida! policy. r

Hie Tresident Expressed his gratification ' at the
message of Gov. Pettus, and cordially fridorsed his
views in reference to making previsions for indigent
families, and the enrollment of exempts, who could
be ready'Urkn an' emergency- to go brth and occupy
tlje trenches while; the discpjinedl trbopsr and iactive

ded, n)uld do eCBcient service, in the trenches, and
4he adoption "of SUeh a" policy would strengthen our
means of defense quite materially. ;
In his allusion to the vast numbers of the North,
the President said that upon any fair field we were
willing.'to fight them two to' one; we-. have oftea
whipped them; thnfe io one ; at Antietam Gen.' Lea
. whipped them four to one ; but ihis nwght not be
the case always. As the enemy progressed in discip-
; line, they approached nearer ur own troops in efli-
!, clency. -Hence the necessity of providing something
like a corresponding ferce to that which the enemy
: are bringing against uv1 ' 4 - ' '
'fhe President denounced in terms of scathing but

RECOGNITION FOREIGN NATIONS
To the question of rec jgnition and intervention, the
President devoted only few wird. .We. had aright
to' expect recognition King since, but it had hot come,
and bis advice was, "Put not your faith in princes,,
nor rest your hr pes 'upon foreign nations." Itspemed
that England still refused to take any steps towards
either recognition or meijliation. v France had made a
move that lcK)ked friendM" to us. and when she ex

The President dwelt at some' length upon the vast
importance ot luwartiogj tne enemy designs upon
this valley ; he considered its defence a necessity not
only tothe people here, but to the Confederacy i self.
Vicksbiirg aud Port Hudson were points .'that must

Port Hudson would st' nld if the pcirpta were true to

since the war began. Qair armies were . superitr a in

Our manufactories had trade rapid progress; Missis

The follcnfing table exhibits an approximation to the
Ithevear. The Confederate losses are compiled from the J Vlikb"f Mississifbl
oraciai. reports or tne comiuanaing ouicers, wnen sucn re
' ports were published.) Of coarse we can only guess at the
Josses of the eneraj. : The northern -papers eldoinfpubli?b
the official reports of the 'Federal generals, and the latter
-have generally proved themselves such monstrous falsifiers
that butlittle confidence 'can be placed in their report
when they ire published. For instance, Picayune Butler
gUtudhia loss at Bethel at about thlrtr, when it ift notor
ious fact that ope small-squad pf Jlaff ruder's men.alone
buried thirtv-twq Federal bodies after tha battle.. In estU
mating the Federal losses, we hare adopted the opinions of
the Confederate onicen commanding, who are "gentlemen
and upoi whose statements reliance may be placed. ' ''
