- XIic lrei9c.tU's Message.
We publish to-day, the Message of President
Davis and accompanying documents which
were. delivered to- the Confederate Congress on
its assembling in Richmond on. Saturday last
This, like all his State papers, is plain, concise
and to the point manifesting true statesman
shipmanly dfgriify and christian fortitude and
moderation" ' . ' -
He 'exhibits the utmost confidence in the
ability, patriotism and valor of Southern states
men Generals and soldiery for the triumphant
accomplishment of the great purposes for which
we are now contending. While he : would re
joice at a speedy tormina ion of hostilities for
humanity's rake, he regards it as a matter of
secondary consideration to the South whether
the war shall last one, two or five years; suc
cess will . - eventually crown our efforts while
the ravages of the war will devastate,impov
erish and ruin the Northern government..
He is .more than gratified with the liberality
displayed by Southern planters in the purchase
of Confederate bonds, the provision loan, &c,
ar.d only deems it ncces&ary to hint at the fact
th.it an increase of the arm- is necessary to
enable him to meet and successfully repel! Lin

J tistice w ill triumph. And an earnest of this j
triumph we jd ready behold in the mighty up
rt am of the whole S-.nithcrn heart.
Almost aa.one man, ihis great section comes i
to tiie rescue, resolved to perish rather than j
to yield to the oppressor, who. in the name of !
freedom, yet under the prime inspiration of an
infidel horde, seeks to reduce eight millions of j
freemen to abject bondage and subjection. All j
ages and all conditions are united in 01 e grand
and holy purpose of rolling back the desolating j
tin s of invasion, and of restoring to the people j
c.-f the South that peace, indepedeuco and right j
of self-government to which theyjj are by na- j
tore, and nrture's God, as justly entitled as
tho e who seek ruthlessly to enslave them.
The General in couin:and having the strong- ;
est confidence in the intelligence and firmness j
of purpose of those belong to his Department, !
enjoins upon-ihem the maintenance of a culm, j
patient,. persistent and undaunted detenuina- !
tion to resist the invasion at alll haz.irds and 1
to the List extremity. It comes bringing with
it a contempt for constitutional liberty, and
the withering inllueuce of the infidelity of New
F.ngland and Germany combined. Its success
wwould deprive us of a fuluro.
The best men of our invaders opposed the
course thev are pursuing at the first, hut thev
ha.e been overborne and swept into the wake j
of the tuevadin'r current and now under the 1
promptings of their fenrs, or the delusion of
some idolatrous reverence due to a favorite
symbol, are as active as any in instigating this
unnatural, unchristian and crncl war.
Our protests, which we here solemnly repeat
in the fae of the civilized world, have been
hitheato unheeded, We are left alone, under
God, to the resources of our own hearts to
the resources ot our manhood.
Knowing, as he does, thoes whom ho ad
dresses, as well as those with whom they are
co operating throughout the South, the Gener
al in command feels he may rely upon -with
unwavering confidence. Let every man, then,
throughout the land, arm himself in the most
effective manner, and hold himself in readiness
to support the combined resistance. A cause
which has for its object nothing less than the
security of civil liberty and the preservation of
the purity of religious truth, is the cause of
Heaven, and may well challenge the homage
and service of the patriot and Christian. In
God is our tiust. LEONIDAS POLK,

ACCOMPANYING DOC UMENT, LETTER
OF THE PRESIDENT TO MR. LINCOLN,
ETC:
The following is a copy of the correspon
dence referred to in the Message of the Presi
dent :
Richmond, 6th July, 1861.
To A mAii.Yjr Lincoln, President and Commander-in-Chief
of the Ainy and Kary of the
United State's:
Sik: Having learned that the schooner Sa
vannah, a private armed vessel in the service
and sailing under a commission issued by au
thority of the Confederate States of. America,
had been captured by one cf the vessels form
ing the blockadeing" squadron off Charleston
harbor, I directed a proposition to be made to
the officer commanding that squadron
for an exchange - of the officers and
crew of Savannah for prisoners of war held by
this Government, "acording to number and
iu"h u T'lhis Proposition. ' made on the
I? b C.apt-Mercer' the officer in command

VOLUME III.
York,: that the prisoner above mentioned
were conve3Ted to that city, and have there
been treated not as prisoners of war, but as J
crminals : that they have been put in irons,
cin fined in jail, brought before courts- of jus
tice on charges of piracy and treason, and it is
even rumored that they have been actually con
victed of the offences charged, for no other
reason than that they bore arms in defence of
the righ,ts of this Government and under the
authority of its commission.
I could not, without grave discourtesy, have
made the newspaper statements above referred
to the subject of this communication, if the
threat of treating as pirates the citizens of this
Confederacy,' armed for its service on the high
sea3, had not been contained in your proclama
tion cf the April last. That proclamation
however, seems to afford a sufficient justi
fication for considering the published state
ments as not devoid of probability.
It is the desire of" this Government so to
conduct the war now existing as to mitigate
its horrors as far as may be possible ; and, with
this intent, its treatment of the prisoner cap
tured by its forces has been marked by the
greatest humanity and leniency conMstant
with public obi gation ; some have beeu per
mitted to return homo on parole, others to re
main at large under similar condition within
this Confederacy; and all In.ve been furnished
with rations for their subsistence, such as are
allowed to our own troops. It is only since
the news has been received of the treatment
of the prisoners taken on the Savannah, that
I have been compelled o withdraw these in
dulgences and to hold the prisoners taken by
us in strict confinement.
A just regard for humanity and to the hon
our of this Government now required me to
state exnlieitv, that painful as will be the nec-
I essity, tnis Government will deal out to the
- i i i : . 1 1 . . , . . .. . 7

captured on the Savannah; and if driven to
the terrible necessity of retaliation by your ex
ecution of anv of the ofi'iers or crew of the Sa-
maue to tne commanuer oi ine uiociwins

on the Savannah an eaqual number of those

DAHIilNG FEAT OF LOLTSIANIANS.
We have heard from a source entitled to tho
fullest confidence, that one of the most dariug
tVuits of the age, was con.s: mated near Newport
News on Friday 1 tst, by C ntederate soldiers.
Ever since the killing of the much lamented
Lieut. Col. Chas. Dreux, four of I. is men have re
solved to hventre iiis taken off. With this view,
they obtained permission to leave their camp
md nrotidiiojr themselves with several days' ra
tions, proceeded stealthily through the forests un
til almost within sight of the camp at Ncwpoit
News.
They laid in ambuish for five days awaiting:
n oi poitunity to avenge the death of their Col
onel, but none presented until Friday last. Ou
that day they espied a party of seven Yankees,
three of whom were evidently officers, engaged
at a small stream, measuring with lines, and
seemingly preparing for the erection ot abridge.
They were all unarmed, and the Louisianians te
solved that the prey they had so long and perse
veriugly sought, should not escape them. Know
iug that the report of th ir guns would alarm the
camp not far distant, they speedily determined
to rely solely upon the use of their bayonets, and,
crawlingly upon their hands and knees to with
in a couvenieut distance, they suddenly sprang
forward, each man selecting his victim. Two
officers were killed, but one of them, a Mfjor, not
dying at th- first thrust, was struck over the head
w ith the butt of a musket until life was extinct.
The other five men were secured, one of the n se
verely wounded, and carried into camp at York
town. The wounded man proved to be a Cap
tain, and when our informant left Yoiktown, it
Was thought that he would certainly die, having
received a severe bayonet stab in his breast and
other cuts in different portions of his body Per.

Washixgtox, July 21. General Patterson's
division is moving on Winchester slowly and
cautiously, and is said to be under the command
of Rrigadier-Geueral Zeigle.
This is, doubtless, all gammon; for it is strong
ly believed that Patterson's entire force was en
gaged in the Sunday battle near Mauassas, and
"Gen. Zeigle" is in Missouri.

that the loss on our side -ranges between -1,200
and 3,000, while the loss on the Federal " side
is from 15000 to 20,000 in killed. Also that if
was thought Gen. Beuregard had cut off the
retreat of the enemy and that they were still
fightingoh this side of Alexandria, the enemy
being cut off by him in the front .and 'closely
pressed by Gen. Johnston in the renr. (This?,
however, was based too much upon conjecture
to be very reliable.) Our army captured 15,

immense quantities of stores, munitions, &c,
which were left upon the field also", 500 priso

I "Jeff. Davis Rifles.' rhis line company
j frm "our .sister town - o -Washuagtoa under
command of Capt. Carmer, who have been ren
dezvousing here for & month or more, are as;
generous, noble-hearted, brave and patriotic a
set of men as will be mustered into the service
from any community during this war.
Their short stay in our midst has endeared
the officers and members to our entire popula
tion, who will regret their departure, this mor
ning, for the seat of ivar, and whose prayers
and best wishes will follow them to the field of
batile, which it is firmly believed wiil be made
the more glorious by their pi escce.
They constitute company I in .the 2rd Regi
ment of regular State troops under command
! of that popular and accomplished olScer Col.
Gaston II. Mt-ares, and no doubt will convince
hitc and the world that he was fortunate in se
curing a place for them, ere the conflict shall
end.
We have been requested by the Captain to
tender the warmest and most undivided and
sincere thanks of himself and cfr.mand o the
citizens of Newbern for their constant, untiring
efforts 'to render their short stay among them,
agreeable and pleasant.
They desire to assure the ladies particularly
that they leave with hearts largely imbued with
new aspirations 'for victory and holy resolves
to perform deeds of noble during, wherever an
opportunity shall offer, believing that they can
by r.o other possible means make adequate re
turns for the many deeds of charity and kind
ness lavished upon them, which were uusur
passed and unsurpassable, and only equalled I
by the patriotism and generosity of Dr. R. S.
Primrose, who kindly attended to all the wants
of their hospital with untiring Watchfulness and
care for which he could not be prevailed upon
to receive a solitary red.
Mav success attend them wherever thev tro.

President D.vis has sent an official despatch
this morning . iue A .juiant General, L. Coop
er, in widen ne speaks in the most commenda
ble terms of the gallant behavior of all our
troops. He says the victory yesterday was
complete, decisive and brilliant. The Hessians,
after a severe contest of ten hours, broke and
fled precipitately towards Leeeburg, Loudoun,
and Centreville, Fairfax county. They were
hotly pursued by about 1,500 Confederate
Cavalry and many of our Light Infantry, who
had been held in reserve, until night closed in
and stopped the chase.
It is said that the Federals left on the field
of battle large stores of every kind of ammuni
tion and great quantities of the most valuable
and improved arms, besides vast piles of their
slain.
Everywhere, in the direction of their flight,
dead bodies of the poor creatures and there
wounded were scattered.
All the neighboring farm-houses on the road
sides were crowded to overflowing with their
wounded. It was truly a most overwhelming
a real Waterlo defeat.
Besides any quantity of small arms and am-
munition, the Federate lost in the engagement j
several batteries of field artillery, and one en- J
tire regimental stand of colors.
Our force immediately engaged in the fight
was 15,000 ; that of the enemy estimated at
Sa,000. This was the left wing, where the bat
tle raged longest and hottest. Including the
centre and left wing, there must have been 40,
000 Confederate lorces, and between 95,000
and 100,000 Yankees.
Our loss is said to be immense, but I regret
to state that it is wholly out of my power to
give even an idea of what it actually is. The
wires are working badly on the telegraph line,
and the Central train will not be in until after
dark. The losses of the enemy arc represented
as being fearful to contemplate. They were
scatterred over every portion of the battle field,
and in many instances lay in piles, presenting
a truly sickening sight.

some veiv young and some very old, were sold

being intended as a nitre feint, 'or the purpose
of drawing our fire. Our Generals seeing
ng
through the ruse, did not resnond. .
The eni.-ny chose their own positions a few
miles beyond Stone Bridge, on Bull Run,
where the principal part cf the battle was
fought.
The enemy's attempt being to turn if possi
ble, our left flank, the battle rnged for four
hours at that point. The fire on both sides
was appalling. Men on both sides never fought
better.
The enemy having largely the advantage in
numbers and artdlfry, between 3 and 4 o'clock,
our brave men begun to waver, and the result
actually hung in the bailance, when Generals
Beauregard and Johnston heroically threw
themseives into the thickest of the fight.
, olorv. Lieut. Col. Johnston, of Hampton's
S. C.j Legion, being killed, and Colonel Hamp
ton hiuiseil, severely wounded, General Beau
regard led the Legion into notion in his usual
gallant stvle. He had his horse's head shot elf
by a shell, and the horses of Messrs. Hev-
ard and Ferguson, of S. C, two of Gen.
Aids were killed by the same shell.
The battle now raged with tremendous fury,
but our Generals could be seen in the thickest
of it, raliying their men a id urging iheni on to
victory.
Reinforcements coming up just nt the critical
moment, the result began to turn in our favor,
tho enemy falling back, though in good order.
Col. irancis S. Bartow, of Georgia, was
struck from his horse and killed, w hile leading
! u magnificient charge of his regiment with its

Gen. Beauregard commanded during the day,
and was in all tarts ot the field, being several
hours under a galling tire.
He escaped many shell and rifled shot, which
were evidently thrown directly at him. His, i
a shell burst not twenty yards from the gal

There being no connection of the W. &. W.
road at Weldon yesterday with the Petersburg
road, wc received no papers from Ricbruoni or
Petersburg and in the absence of telegrams wo
are entirely bare cf reliable news this morning,
from the seat of war.
Through the kindness of Capt Slate, the ac
commodating news agent on our road, we wero
furnished with some additional facts gathered
by him from gentlemen direct lrom the seat of
war in charge of the nmains of the lamented
Co1.. Fisher, which we gire as we got them, on
ly as rumors. ' .
They report that terrible slaughter was tho
reselt'ofthe battle; thet at tho spot where
they took up the body of Col. Fisher the dead

It is also reported that Gen. McCJellan, the
leader of the Northern hosts, Is a prisoner of

Rumor has it thai a desperate battle is hour
ly expected at Norfolk, all the shipping having
been stripped and everything put in readiness
for any emergency that may happen.
Remarks. Many of our readers in Ncwbcrrl

fi iends connected with McRae's Regimen,
' against which we desire to caution them by tho

lral-1. the.t only 400 were killed on our side,
j nnd if only 400 were killed oat of 40,000 cn-
Ca-e 1 in the fight it is not reasonable to sun-
a
pose that many of Col. McRae's Regiment ar
killed, and very unreasonable to suppose that
a great many of the single company that went
from thi.t community are of that number.
It is folly tc suppose that n battle like fha&
could be fought, v. iih weapons used in modern
warfare, without some one getting killed ; but
if ail the repor's wc have, received have the
tenib'ancj ol t ruth, we have great cause for re
joiclng, for no more brilliant victory was ever
won by any people or in any country.
We obtained the following statements which
are the latest by mail, from the Norfolk and
Portsmouth Herald of yesterday :
STILL LATER.
The Central train arrived late last night, and
we gathered from tho passengers some partic
ulars of the battle.
As already stated, the left wine of our army
sustained the heaviest part of. the fight, and
suffered severely.
The loss on our side in killed and wourded
is various!' estimated at from l,o00 to 2,000,
though in ihe confusion succeeding the battle
it wp.s utterly impossible to ascertain the num
ber accurately.
The enemy is believed fo have lost from 12,
000 to l.j,0OO, besides a large number taken
prisoners. About o00 of the latter were brought
in at Manassas yesterday morning.
