On the tOth day of December, Proeideni Iavia deliv sred on addrs before the Leg. Uture of Mississippi, a sketch of which we rind in the Jaoksen Misaissippian. We elrct the roost important portion : After a complimentary allusion to Mis Mippind her soldiers, the President ipoko of his love for the old Union. He luded to it, however, as a matUr of re grt, that the beat affections of hie heart should have been boatoweJ upoo an object i unworthy- that he should have loved ,0 long a government which was rollea to it very core. he had predicted from the beginnings tierce war ; though it had assumed more 4 irnlic proportions than he bad calculated upon. lie had prdictd war not because oar right to secede was oot so undoubted one and clearly defined ie the spirit of trat UecUration which rests the right lo govern upon the consent ef the governed bat the wrrkedocss of the North would entail war upon the country. The present war waged against tho rignU of a free people was an jut and the fruit of the evil passions of the Norh. In the progress of the war those t-vil passions have ben brought out and ilrvtlpd; and mo far fiooa re uniting wiin such a noonle a peopli whoso ancestor - - I l.'rooiwell had fathered from the boga and Ian of Ireland and Scotland a people whoso intolerance produced discord and tioublo whenever they went who perso- cuisd Catholics hpisopahans and every other sect that did not subscribe to their LuroU'd and contracted notions who burnt witches and did a thousand other things calculated te inuke them forevor infamous The Proaidant wa? emphatic in bis dcclar atton that under no circumstatico m ouhl he ciin'it to ro union. Hi drew k L'lowinff i)i:ture of tho hor- Torn of war, and the ravage of the enemy ; and while tears flowed for lhoo who mil fered, yut all the would be endured t'bcerfullv. before our manhood auu oar liberties would bo surrendered. 1 1 o alluded briefly to his desire to transfer the war upon Northern soil, but the Uiluro to do this proceeded net from ant of inclination hut of power. We were not an old established nation, with armies and navies at oar cornn.and. Theao had to ho improvised frosu the scanty materials to be loand within the limits of oar own Confederacy. We were blockaded and cut off from other nations, and everybody knows that we had been an agricultural people, and thai our facilities for manufau luring materials of war were extremely Their ranks mu?t be filled; hamanity de mands it. It was a time for patriot to throw off the shackles of private interest, fly to the rescue of these heroes whom the ravages of war had yet spared, and con secrate themselves to the most sacred cause on earth. Tk4 Real Danger. Tho President remarked that when he arrived here he thought the enemy were pressing down upon us from the Northern borders of our Slate, bat when he went to Grenada he there learned that nothing could bo seen of them, but their backs. Tbey were going back, perhaps with the intention of reinforcing tho heavy column that was now being thrown down the Mis sisaippi river. Thereat points of attack were at Vicksburg and Port Hudson; and te all who desired to lend a helping hand to the country in her present exigency he would say, 'Go to Port Iladsen and Vicks- barg without delay I Xctiiy of Harmmjf Permanent Mdxtarj System. He epoke of the salutary effects ot har monious action botweeu tbe several Slates and the government at Richmond, and urged up-m legislators, bulb Slate and Confederate, tho necessity of establishing a permanent military system, lcr even after tbo present war was ended we might expect trouble from our enemies unless our military establishment wan of such ebarac lor as to g;ve them a wholesome fear of precipitating a war upon us. The true theo ry was to adopt a military system which would be permanent and opoiative in limes of peace. Tie Question at luue. The insue involved in this war was no ordinary one. Theque-tion is will you be tree, or will you bo the slaves of tbe most depraved and intoterent and lyranical and hated people ipon earth : This was the real question to be decided. Lvery thing else was as dost in tbe balance. A people who had demonstrated their utter incapac ity for self government, who have destroy ed their own liberties in the vain effort lo deprive us of ouh, seek lo be our masters, and inflict upon u such gulling chains an have no parallel in tbo annalo of lyran 03-. MiksiMsippi is tbe object of their peculiar hatred ; upon her is to bo visited tueir refined vengeance. But our cause is Just artd vongeance belongs to tbe Lord ! Wo will resist the power of tho enemy. Discard all other cons derations but the public defense, and victory will again be oar. Atr$nia of the Adminietrtton. The President alluded very briefly to tho falsehood which hud been circulated relative to the Administration, which he eouid not disprove, because such d sproval would givo the enemy a knowledge ol things which luo good ol Ihe cause required lo he concealed from him. That he had com mi tied some errors be did not doubt, though they wero never the reeult or im proper motives, r or a vindication of him . . r . 1 : 1 my: 1st, to gel possession oi vne nvei, uu thus cut our Confederacy 111 two, and sec ondly, to seise the Confederate Capital, i and hold it to foreign nations as an evi dence that the Confederacy does not exist. The Presiden t d welt at some length upon the vast importance of thwarting the enemy's designs upon this valley he con sidered its defenso a necessity not only to the people here, but to the Confederacy itself. Vicksburg and Port Hudson were points that mast be defended, and every effort must be attained for this purpose. Vicksburg, he said, would stand, and Port Hudson would stand, if the people were true tc themselves. This done, the North west would grow restie and cease to support a war ruinous to them and bene ficial only to New England contractors From the Northwest he looked for tbe firM gleams of peace. Cheered ly hie Visit. Although his duties required his pres ence elsewhere, y et when be heard of tbe sufferings of his own Slate, and her danger of subjugalioti by a vandal foe, bis feelings dragged him to her soil. He goes back with a lighter heart. Ho finds nono of that depression which was reported. Al Grenada he lound the army sorry that toe enemy bad yone back. At Vicksburg hey were ready and eager tor the fray. Depressioo existed only among thai class of men wLo were constitutional grumblers and tauli finders. He goes back cheered, but still anxious for bis heart is here his attachment to the Slate has rison since the war began, and he can see dangers though he betioves tbo greatest have passed. The Trans-ilistisstppi Department. Ex-Gor. Horehead's Speech We regret that we have net space for the whole of the speech of Ex Got. Aforehead of Kentucky, delivered by him In Liverpool on the 9th of October. It baa however been published where it was more needed ihe whole of it appearing in the Liverpool "Mercury." The following is its conclud ing portion. It will be Been that the Chairman of the meeting declared that the tne goous were imported at the time thnt the Uuiied States laws could not be enfor ced thero tbo places being- in porsesion of the British Government and the British troops allegiance and protection were cr. relative term and that these individual who bad imported goods during that period were in no manner liable for a violation of the States. The same thing has boon de clared here by statute 11 Henry VII. Af terthe long wars of the Roses they felt it necessary to embody what was acomnio. sufferings of tbe Confederate States were !

Well be would hardly claim it un der the Cooctimtion of the United States. Will you allow me itis av.'ry short ex tract to read what Mr. ebster said on that subject. He waa making a speech at Richmond, Virginia, and he said "I hold that Congress is absolutely precluded from interfering in any manner, direct or indi rect, with this as wilh any other of the institutions ot the States."

Duration of the War Though the war had somewhat exceeded limited. Notwithstanding this fact, patent I his expectations yet be never doubted our to tho most casual observer, we had now an I final success and he considered It now ai rmv, larger than ever before our arms absolutely certain.

At an eirly hour on Fi iday morning th 1 1 ill inot our community was iio kru oy iue naming inlelligei.te thai Mrs L. A. Wilson. wi;e f W. M. NiUon, of uuU Hill. Randolph l ouuty, N. L, had commuted suicide by cutting her throat with a razor. The lactn in the case, a they have come to light are as follows: The husband, Mr Wilson, bem unwell, and two children lying, one upon itsdtath-b u and the other very low, two youne Ui'ies of lhe neighborhood had come in to 9i-nd the night and assist in taking care of the sick About 4 o' lock in the mi rninr they had all lain down to kltep except Mrs Wilson, who remained by tbe bedside of her hick child. In about an hour Mr. Wilson awoke, and urssing his wife called her several times, and receiving no answer commenced searching tor her anu about 0 o'clock found her i his dwelling welierine in her own blood, with the instrument of death liing by her side. The parent had, a few days befre, D'iried a very interesting b;y about two years old, and at the time she committed the deed another lovely little boy about five years old was lying at the poiut of death, and died in a fe a days alter. It is supposed that these troubles falling so sud denly upon one i-o tender ut ht-art, caused momen tary insanity, under tin influence of which the deed was commit ed. An inquest whs held over the body ol the de ceased: and a verdict returned in accordance with the tacts above stated. The deceased was a young woman about thirty one years of age, beloe.l and respected by all her neighbors and acquaintances, and almt worshipped by her husband. She was iu the strictest tense of the word, a loving wife and an afft-clionate mother- The deceased, at an early ate, embraced the aented to him tho aigament that slaves were private pi operty and not subject to be taken, and that Lord .Liverpool did not ob ject to the argumont. Wheu it was relcrrcd to tho htupcror ot Kupsia, he writes to Mr Middlcioo, who was our minister at Ku sia, to tho effect that private property was not inbject to capture and coald not law fully be aken with tho place. "With the exception" he says, "of maiitime captures, privalo properly in captured places is, by tho laws ot nations, always re-pected. None can lawfully bo taken. I will not read tho whole of it, but just mention the principle in the conclusion of his letter rn . 1.1 . "lhe principle is, thtt tbe emancipation an out-house near of an enemy's slaves is not among tho acts of legitimate war. As relates to the owners, it is a destruction ot private proporty no where warranted by the usuages ot war." That is tho doctrine of the United States. That doctrine was sanctioned by tho Em peror ot Rus.nia, who decided the contest in lave of the U toted btates upon the princi ot aire, ills head was as wbito enow I never saw him before, but I was ama zed to see him, and seeing that he wi from Kentucky I wont up and addretsi-d s him.
