Southern €vAtitmi qko «. xtvtvt aUtos, ■SIMM Ul nafunu. AfLAKTA, (llOHOUr^ SUNDAY, JULY 21, 1861. OF PRESIDENT DAYIS TO THE oosranoMs OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES. Gbntlkmkk: My message addressrd to you at the commencement of the Session, contained such full information of the state of the Con federacy, as to render it unnecessary that I should now do more than call your attention to such important facts os have occurred during the re cess, and to matters connected with the public defenses. I have again to congratulate you on the ac cession of new members to our confederation of free and equal sovereign States. Our loved aud honored brethren of North Carolina and Tennessee have consummated the action fore seen and provided for at your last aesalon, and I have had the gratification of announcing by proclamation in conformity with law, that these States were admitted into the Confederacy. The people of Virginia also, by a majority previous ly unknown in her history, hsvc ratified the ac tion of her connection, uniting her fortunes with ours. The States of Arkansas, North Carolina and Yirginiu have also adopted the Permanent Con stitution of the Confederate States, and no doubt is cutertained of its adoption by Tennessee at the election to be held early in next month. I deemed ft advisable to direct the removal of the several Executive Departments with their archives to this city, to which you had removed the seat of Government, immediately after your adjournment. The aggressive movements of the enemy required prompt en ergy and action. The accumulation of his forces on the Potomac sufficiently demonstrat ed that his efforts were to be directed against Virginia; and from no point could the neces sary measures for her defense be so effective and decided, as from her own Capitol. The rapid progress of events for the last few weeks has fully sufficed to strip off the veil be hind which the true policy and purposes of the Government of the United States had been previously concealed. Their odious features now stand fully revealed. The message of their President, end the action of their Con gress during the present month, confess their intention of subjugating the Seceded 8tateeby a war, by which it if impossible to attain the proposed result. Whilst its dire calamities are not to be avoided by us, it will fsll with dou ble velocity on themselves. Commencing in March last, with affectations of ignoring the secession of the seven States, which first organised this Government; persist ing in April in an idle and absurd assumption of the existence of a riot which was to be dis persed by a posse comitatus; continuing in successive months the false representation that these States intended an offensive war, in spite of conclusive evidence to the oontrary furnish ed, as well by official action as by the very ba sis on which this Government is constituted, the President of the United States and hie ad visers succeeded in deeolving the people of those States into the belief that the purpose of this Government was not peace at home, but conquest abroad; not a defense ot its own lib erties, but a subversion of those of the people of the United States ; the series of manoeuvres by which this impression was created; the art with which they were devised, and the per fidy with which they are executed were al ready known to you. But you could scarcely have supposed that they would be openly avowed, and their suc cess made the object of boast and self-lauda tion in an Executive Message* Fortunately for the truth of history, bowevtr, the President of the United States details with minuteness the attempt to reinforce Fort Piekeus in viola tion of an armistice of which he confessed to have been informed, but only by rumors too vsgue and uncertain to fix appention. The hostile expedition despatched to supply Fort Hum ter ie admitted to hava been underta ken with a knowledge that He success was im possible. The seeding of a notice to the Gov ernor of South Carolina of his intention to use force to accomplish his object, and then quo ting from bis inaugural address the aeeurance that tbara could be no conflict unless these States were the aggressors, he proceeds to de clare that this conduct, as just related by himself, waa the performance of this— promise so free from the power of ingenious sophistry as that the world should not be able to misunderstand it, and in defiance of bis own statement, that he gave notioe of the ap proach of the hostile fleet, he charges these States with becoming the assailants of ths United State* without a gun in sight or In ex- pectsncy to return their fire, save only a few in the Fort Under coves this unfounded pre tence, that tha Confederate States are the as sail ante, that high functionary, after express ing his concern that soma foreign nations, had so shaped their action as (f they supposed an early deetmotioa of our National Union prob able, abandoned all farther disguise and pro poses to make this contest e short and dcisiv* one by placing at tha control of tha Gcrrarn- ment, for tha work, at least 400,000 men and $46#,Mt.Nt. The CongTees concurring in the doubt thus intimated as to the sufficiency of the force de manded, has Increased It to half a million of men. These enormous preparations hi man and money for conducting the war on a scale more grand than Urn New World ever witnessed, Is a distinct arowal, in the eyes of civilised men, that tha Untlod States are engaged la a conflict with a great and powerful nation. They nr* at least compelled I# abandon tha piwtenca W W lug tugaged la dispersing rioters and suppress log losnrreetknu, and are driven to the ae- knawledginbal that tha Union has been dissolv ed.

Finally, they hava repudiated tho foolish conceit that the Inhabitants of thia Con federacy are still cltiaahs of the United States; for they are waging an Indiscriminate war upon them all, with a savage fcroelty unknown In modern civilisation. In this war rapine is the rule. Private resi dences in beautiful rural retreats are bombard ed and burnt; grain crops in the field are con sumed by the torch, and when tha torn* ie nei eon van ient, labor is bestowed to render com plete the destruction of every artiele of use or ornament remaining in private dwellings, af ter their inhabitants have fled from the outra ge* of thsir brutal solditry. In 1781, Groat Britain, when invading her revolted Colonies, took possession of every dis trict of oouatry near Fortress Monroe, now oc cupied by the troops of the United States. The honeec then inhabited by the people, after be- ing respected and and protected by avowed invaders, are now pillaged end destroyed by men who pretend that Virginians are their fel- low-cjtisans- Mankind will shudder at the re lation of the outrages committed on defencless families by soldiers of the Uni ted States now in vading our homes; yet theseoutragea are promp ted by inflamed passions and the madness of in toxication. But who shall depict the horror with which they regard the cool deliberate malig. nancy with which, under the pretext of sup* pressing an insurrection, said by themselves to be upheld by a minority only of our people makes special war on the sick, inclu ding women and children, by carefully devis ed measures to prevent their obtaining medici nes necessary for their cure ? The sacred claims of humanity, respected even during the fury of actual battle by a careful diver- aion of attacks from hospitals containing woun ded enemies, are outraged in cold blood by a Government and people that pretend to devise the continuance of fraternal connections. All these outrages must remain unavenged by the universal reprobarion of mankind in all enses whose actual perpetrators of wrongs escape capture. They admit of no relaxation. The hu manity of our people would shrink instinctively from the bare idea of urging a like war npon the aick, the women and children of an ene my. But there ere other savage practices which have been resorted to by the Government of the United Statrs which do admi'tof repression by retaliation. I have been driven to the ne cessity of enforcing the repression of the prisoners of war taken by the enemy on board of the armed Schooner Savannah, sailing un der our commission, where, as I was creditably advised, they were treated like common fel- ons, put in irons, confined in a jail usually ap propriated to criminals ot the worst dye, and threatened with punishment as such. 1 bad made application for an exchange of these prisoners to the commanding officer of the en emy's squadron off Oberleston, but that officer had already sent the prisoners to New York when the application was made. I, therefore, deemed it my duty to renew the proposal for an exchange to the Constitutional Commands r-i n-C h i e f of the Army aud Navy of the United States, (he only officer having control of piisoners.— To this end, I despatched an offioer to him under a flag of truce ; and in making the pro posal 1 informed President Lincoln of my res olute purpose to check ail barbaritiee on pris oners of war by such severity, for retaliation on prisoner* of war held by us, a* should ae our* an abandonment of the practice. This communication was received and read by the officer in oommand of the Army of the United State*, and a message was brought from him by th* bearer of my communication that a re ply would be returned by President Linooin as soon at possible. I earnestly hope that this promised reply, which has not yet been received, will oonvey the assurance that pris oners of war will be treated, in this unhappy oontsst, with that regard to humanity which has made such conspicuous progress iu the conduct of modern warfare. As mesures of precaution, however, and until thd promised reply is received, I still retain in close custody some officers captured from the enemy whom it had been my pleasure pre viously to allow to ge at large on parole, aud whose fate must nececsarily depend on that of the prisoners held by the enemy. I append a copy of my communication to the President and Commander in-Chief of the Aarmy and Navy of the United States, and of the report of the officer charged to deliver it it, marked Document A. There are some other passages in the re markable paper to which I have directed your attention, having reference to the peculiar re latione which exist between this Gov ernment and the 8tates, usually termed Border States which cannot properly be withheld from notice. The hearts of onr peo ple are animated by sentiments towards the inhabitants of these States which found ex pression in your enactment refusing to consid er them enemies, or authorised hostilities against them. That a very large portion of the people of these States regard us as breth ren, and if unrestrained by the actual presence of large armies, a subversion of civil authority, and a declaration of martial law, some ot them at least would joyfu{ly unite with us; Imt they are with almost oulire unanimity, oppsed to the prosecution of the war waged against us, are facts of which daily recurring events folly warrant tha assertion of. * The President of the United States refuses to recognise In these our late sister 8tatcs, the right of refraining from an attack on us, and justifies his refusal by the assertion that the States have no other power than that reserved to them in the Union by the Constitution, no one of them having ever been a State out of the Union. This view of Constitutional relations between States and the General Govenmedt Is a fitting Introduction to another assertion that the Executive possesses the power of impend ing the writ of Habeas Corpus, and of delega ting that power to military commanders at his discretion; and both these propositions claim a respect equal la that Which Is felt for the ad ditional statement of his opinion. In the same paper, that it is proper, in order to execute the Laws, that some stogie law made inch extreme tenderness of the cUlaea's liberty that practi cally relieves more2»J“ guilty than the ln- ooeat, should, la a very limited extent, be vio lated- Wa may well rejoice that wa have forever •cveredfOur connection with a Government that has tbae trampled on all the 'principles [cf Con stitutional Liberty and with a people In whose presence such avowals could be haxardefe Tha operations in the field will he greatly extended by reason of a policy which was here tofore seretly entertained, but is now avowed and acted on by the United States. The force* hitherto raised provided amply for the defense of the seven States which originally organised the Confederacy, aa is evident by the feet that, with the exception of three fortified Islands, whose dsfense is efficiently aided by prepoqdcr- ating naval fores, the enemy baa been driven completely out of these stations, and now, at the expfration of five months from the forma tion of tbe Government, not a single hostile foot presses their soil. These forces mutt, how ever, necessarily prove inadequate to repel aa invasion by the half million of men now pro posed by tho enemy: and a corresponding in crease of our forces will become necessary.— The recommendations for tbe raising and effi cient equipment of this additional force will be contained in the communication of the Secre tary of War, to which I scarcely need invite your earnest attention. In my hleasage delivered in April last, l referred to tbe promise of abundant crops with which we were cheered. Tbe grain crops generally have sinoe been harvested, and tbe yield he* proved to be tbe most abundant known in our history. Many believe the supply adequate to two years* consumption of our population. Cotton, sugar and Tobacco, forming surplus agricultural productions, and furnishing a ba sis for our commercial interchange, present the mosteheering promises known. Providence has smiled on tbe labor which extracts tbe teeming wealth from the foil in ell portions of our Confederacy. It is the more gratifving, because of the need of tbe large and increas ed expenditure iu support of our Ar my. Elevated and purified by the sacred causa they maintain our fellow citisens in every condition of life exhibit most self-sacrificing devotion. They manifest a laudable pride in upholding their Independ ence, unaided by any resources other than their own and the immense wealth which a fortile soil and genial climate have accumula- ted ia this Confederacy of agriculturists, could not be more strongly displayed than in tbe large revenues which,with eager seal, they have contributed at the call of their Country. In the single article of Cotton the subscrip tions to tho Loan proposed by the Government cannot fall short of Fifty Millions of Dollars, and will probably exceed that sum; and scarcely an article required for the consump tion of tbe Army is provided otherwise than by subscription to the Produce Loan so hap pily devised by your wisdom. The Secretary of the Treasury, in his Re port submitted to you, will give you the am plest details connected with that branch of the public service; but it is not alone in their prompt pecuniary contributions that the no ble race of freeman who inhabit these States, evidence how worthy are these lib erties which they so well know how to defend In numbers far exceeding those authorized by your laws they have pressed the teader of their services against the enemy. Their atti tude of calm and sublime devotion to thoir country—-the cool aud confident cour age with which they are already prcp&riug to meet the invasion in whatever proportions it may a surac—the assurance that their sacrifices and their services will bo renewed from year to year with unfailing purpose until they have made good to the nttermost their right to Self- Government—the generous and almost unques tioning confidence which they display in their Government duiing the pending straggle, all combine to present such a spectacle as the World has rarely, If ever, seen. To apeak of subjugating such a people, so united and deter mined, is to speak a language inbomprehcnsiblc to them. To resist atacks on their rights or their liberties is with them an instinct. Whether Ibis war shall last one, or three, or five years, is a problem they leave to be solved by the enemy alone. It will last till the enemy shall have withdrawn from their borders; till their political rights, their altars and their hornet are freed from invasion. Then, and then only, will they rest from this struggle to enjoy in peace the blessings which, with the favor of Providence, they will have secured by tbeir own strong uearts and steady arms.

A correspondent of tke Constitutionalist of yesterday says : " The publio should be warned against a German, Frank Shuman, who was served with a notice to quit this community for dis loyal expressions. He left ou Monday night for Atlanta, and it is possible that be may slop somewhere else in the Confederate lim its. He is of email stature, rather light hair, and fair skin—about five feet six inohea in height, and speaks rather bad English. He is apparently quiet and unpretending, and never commits himself in English, but in hie native tongue has been quite imprudent. A mongst his effects, bo has a Wide Awake badge. He has lived in this oily since Sep tember last. It would be well for the press to band him around." Hcott’a Treachery* Upon the occasion of the inauguration of the Washington Statute at Richmond, Vo., February 12th, 1858, old Scott was present. He was for mally presented to the Legislature, and the Speaker of the House of Delegates received him in a few remarks which then, were appropriate. Scott then replied: Mf. President and Senators: I cannot give expression to the deep emotions of pleasure which I experience at this reception in my native State. Little did I expect to meet with such honors here, and from you. I find myself in the midst of my countrymen—my dear countrymen—natives of the State which was the cradle of my first hopes, my first ambition. In my long career—mors remark able, perhaps, for it* length than its brilliancy —I have ever felt the responsibility inherited by my birth. I have always said, what will Virginia say of me? and when, in the course of my public life, I have always remember ed, at its moat important points, that I bore a nortion of her honor upon my shoulders, I hare said that if I proved recreant, I should be doubly damned in her estimation and that of my country. It was in tbe school of Virginia that I imbibed those principles which nave guided me through life, and it is by the ex ample of her Washington and other great Virginians, that I am inspired with the de lire to oe remembered by my State. That desire has been accomplished for be yond my most sanguine expectations Hon ors upon honors have been heaped upon me, and I could not, if I would, ever forget her favors. At the end of the war of 1812- 15, she presented me with the sword I now possess. She has given my name to one of her counties, and, after the lapae of a third of a century, when my little service might be supposed to have been forgotten, she has honored me with a vote ot thanks and a gold medal. I allude to these things in a spirit of gratitude, not of yanity. The time has passed away for that. I have arrived at the age when the passions arc mellowed, and the imagination ceases to be flrev and Ir regular—an age of quiet and enjoymeat; and the scenes of this day will fill me with gratefol memories, and I will bear Us recol lections with me to the Anal resting place to which, in the course of nature, I am rapidly tending. With a Virginia heart. I tender all Virginians my gratitude and affection. SOUTHS FIRE, LIFE AND Office coro.r of Wh iuhill .id 1. onr Belmon.
