Some four weeks have elapsed since the recess was taken, and as dnring this time the members have had a good opportunity of mingling with their oon- delighied agine' replied the Beau,- 'but I cannot ac count for your surprise, as the well informed werld is generally apprized of mv where- from the Treasury Department because he was not a good conservative.- Has any man been elected'to any office by this Legislature who did not hAlonc to this conservative cartv ? Has not every man not a member of it and within .the reach of this Legislature, been turned out of office? And yet this base calumniator; Vindicator," would have the world to believe that there is no party organization inihe State, and that no man has been proscribed" for an independent exercise of the elective franchise in August last. I-repeat, has any man who voted against .Col. Vance stituents. it is to be hoped that' the majority I friend, "it was reported that you were dead. abouts." 'Wby my dear sirf rejoined his j been elected to any office by the present 3kegi of. the body will commence their labours in . another and better frame of mind than that which characterised the proceedings of the first session. ' Most sorry should'we bo to be lieve that anything like a majority of the constituent bodv would place the seal of their approbation on the conduct of the mi- - jority of the Legislature at its late session. ' Assembling at tho Capital at a period of the greatest emergency, when the common ene my of every State of tho Confederacy, with forces of gigantic' cumbers and strength and with every 'moans and appliance which money - could employ to render them efficient, was threatening the Confederacy by land an'd sea at every . assailable and vital point, and when the cry went up that our soldiers in the field were ragged, blanketjess and shoe less, and in this condition efcposed to the frosts and. snows of winter, tha Legislature permitted a session of six weeks to slip away without contributing by way of legis lation one' iota to that cause on which our all depends. Not a step, was taken to sup ply a single necessary to our destitute and suffering army in the field, and when a bill was introduced to supply clothing to the suspeoted tories, spies and traitors now im prisoned at Salisbury, an amendment that they should be supplied after our troops in the open field, bad been clothed and shod, was voted down by a majority of men call ing themselves "Conservatives!" Conser vative of what! Mora conservative of 'the comfort of men whose conduct had laid them liable to the suspicion of infidelity to their country, than of that of tho gallant men who are day and night exposing their health and their lives in defense of our holy cause, and whose pressing wants were crying aloud for relief. Of this grievous sin . of omission, the majority of the Legislature stands convicted beyond tho shadow of a doubt.' But this majority not only left undone what it ought to have done, but did divers things which it ought to have-left undone. '.It proscribed notoriously dompetent and faithful officers, in order that the posts which tbey occupied might be filled by men whoso only claimwas based on partixanship. and f lake warmnesB, if not indifference, to the cause of tJac South A great deal of the time of the Legislature was expended "in conferring offices on mem bers of J that body, as is clearly proved Ky the fact that more writ, of election have been issued, to supply vacancies in this than in any Legislature since the establishment of the Government. . . When not engaged, in this work, the Leg. islature was engaged in, if possible, a more" 'disreputable and mischievous business. It was trying to foment difficulties with-the common agftit of all the Confederate States. -Not only were, tho Confederate authorities assailed with bitterness and charge with either gross incapacity or a criminal indiffer ence to the wants and interests of North Carolina, by men who had in" their places unanimously ' endorsed and approved of ike administration of President Davis, but a "Pooh!" replied the Beau, "a mere triok of - the Stock Jobbers to affect the funds." MILITIA CALLED OUT IN VIRGINIA. The militia of the following counties of Virginia have been called out and ordered to rendezvous at Petersburg : " D i n w i d die, Brunswick, j Lunenburg, Mecklenburg, Halifax, Charlotte, Pittsylva nia; Henry.

As the enemy's reports of the late great battle of ilurfreesboro' ccme to .hand, the extent of General Bragg victory becomes more apparent. All the boastful despatches 4haTBo6encrans may write can never recapture tne prisoners,; arms their examination, and will in due - time receive their utter condemnation. I shall not. Mr. Editor, undertake to notice every paragraph of this vile calumniator's com munication to the Standard. To do so would be tresDassin? too much on vour columns, time and a w w patience. 'I shall only rebukethe fellow for his slanderous attack on the Old Dominion , believ ing, as I do, that when one of her sons fails to perform this duty, he is no longer worthy of the name of Virginian. And again, he says : "A large portion ot North Carolina, it is true, has been ravished bytlie enemy; but a much larger portion "of 'Virginia has played harlot, "opened her feet and called on every passer by to come, in." I assert that no fiend in hell is capable of conceiving or giving expression to any such infamous language as this when speaking or Virginia, lias not a' much spoiled by the enemy?: Has she not suffered more, lost more and madev greater sacrifices than any other State in . tha Confederacy ? Have not her women nursed and attended the sick and and artillery, carried off by Gen. Bragg, nor re- f larger portion: of her soil been ravished and de- tmiid the wagons burnt by Morgan and Wheeler. These substantial evidences of victory attest how well the gallant Bragg accomplished the work, and prove that though compelled to yield the bat tle-field, he did bo at his own time, 'and in the perfect orderof a General who, for hisown good reasons, prefers jesting his exhausted troops to risking the hazard of another day's battle. The battle of MurfreesboroV both to General -and to men, deserves to be ranked among the great bat--iles that have shed their lustre over the Con fed : erate States. If it was not as successful as we def ired, it was nevertheless far more destructive to the enemy than it at first appesred, and has put an end to all advance of Roaecru-i, 'if it does not result In compelling him to seeksafety nearer his base at Nashville. - . . e. . . , This victory is by far the most complete won by our arms in Xhe Southwest. We do not re gard the falling back of Gen. Bragg as detract ing the least from the glory of our arms or the im portance of our victory. . '. . It is .impossible to form a judgment upon this victory except pon the-statement of Gen. Bragg and the reports of the enemy. But from a com parison of these sources of information,'uotwith standing the laHersof Rosecrans to Halleck, .and Halleck to Rosecxanz, the facts are fully made cut that the enemy will be ruined by one more such .victory -as that claimed by them at Murfrecsboro'. Richmond Enquirer. - PRESIDENT DAVIS' MESSAGE. ------ - V- - - . This important document was laid before the two Houses of Congress on Wednesday last. Not having room for the .message in full in to day's paper, we publish the following telegraphic' synopsis, and shall lay the whole message before our readers in our next issue : ! f ' -The message of President Davis opens with a view of the military position of affairs, which is described as very satisfactory -The fourth grea army of invasion nas been defeated: in Virginia and General Burnside has experienced the fate o; his three predecessors, McDowell, McClellan and Pope. In the West, the fortunes of war have been various, .catties have been Jbught-with fearful carnage on Dott sides, but the hopes of the enemy 01 any decisive 'results nave been baffled. A review of the history "of the donflict Bhows that the war has now entered its third and last stage, The first effort was to restore the Union, and that has been abandoned ; the second was to conquer the South and govern it as a dependency : this too has proven impossible, and nas been abandoned ; the third design is to destroy and plunder what they couldnot subjugate, out 11 we continue the efforts aaia the past, this design will likewise be defeated, and we mayconfidently expect that this is tne Closing year 01 vuo war. ; aa enemy wi possess neither spirit nor resources for continuing it into the fourth year on so extensive a scale . We desire peace but will continue the war at any sacrifice until our right to self government and the sovereignty and independence of the States are -vindicated and established. Foreign relations are then reviewed. Our right to recognition is shown by referring to the past history of our States, sone of which were recog-. mzed as independent Dy ureal untain in tne treaty of peace of 1783, and had been previously allies in war with Fran 6e. When our commission ers demanded recognition, they were told that Foreign Governments could not decide between conflicting statements by our Government and that of the United States in respect to our mutual wounded soldiers from every State in the Coufed- reiations, and that Europe would simply recognize eracy washed amfMressed their wounds ? "What, then, has Virginia .herself . done to, or said of North Carolina that authorizes the basest son of the latter, to assail her The Enquirer is-not Virginia,! neither is she responsible Jot what it publishes.' If the Enquirer and the Standard are at loggerheads, let them fighj it out ; neither will ever gain a victory by assailing the State in which the other is published. i - r us as belligerents, and preserve striet neutrality. This apparent refusal to ""decide 'was ia reality a uecision against us, oecause we were tnus unjustly deprived of diplomatic intercourse on the same footing a$ our. enemies. - . : ; - The . question . of the blockade is discussed - at length. , Its invalidity, is shown as tested by the principles of the treaty of Parisin ' 1859. 5 The whole conduct of neutral nations Is summed up so as to show that they have enforced all neutral Again, qiis writer says : -"She Virginia) unpu- irm asaerting those that would injure The United dently rebukes North Carclin. within whose territory raked by the fine-tooth-comb.of Rich mond detectives, "not 'a - traitor can be found, for her want of devotion to the common cause, when Virginia herself has '-yielded almost asmuch strength to the North as fb the South.", So many ihfamous" lies as the above quotation icon tains were neter crowded together before in sc short a - The going down of the famous Monitor'.' has tion .-'under revis w inconsistent and absurd, States.
