Our Savannah,Correspondence.
Camp Tatnall, near Savannah, Ga.
February 22d, 1862,
-Dear Courier: This is Saturday night
and no fight yet, and the prospects for
one are less flattering, than it has been
for several days post. I am of the
opinion that the fleet will first attack
Fort Pulaski, front and rear, and if
they fail to take it, I have no idea th
will ever attack the city by land,
if they do reduce the Fort, they will
no doubt try to pass Fort Jackson and
shell the eity, and then leave and fall
back to the Fort.
Some days there is but three or four
vessels in sight of Skidaway, and the
next day, perhaps there are thirty or
forty, all in line of battle. They will
certainly fight or leavo here soon. Gon.
Lee is here, preparing to give them a
warm reception either by land or by
water.
Capt. W. J. Young.-ot our Regiment
was elected Colonel on the 7th inst.,
and is now in command, and will no
doubt make a good Colonel. He is
very popular with his men, but posses
ses great firmness and prudence, and
seems to realize the responsibility that
rests upon him, and will never impose
upon his men, or sacraflce their .lives
for the sake of a big name.'
The four companies that were sta
tioned at Darien, came up a few days
ago, and Capt. Wiley’s Company was
ordered to Fort Jackson last night, to
take the place of tho Republican Blues
of this city, whose time had expired,
so we have three companies on detach
ed service.
We moved from Camp Wilson to
day, oljcned up a new aamp ground,
one mile nearer the oity, to the right of
the White Bluff Shell Road, and have
named the camp after old Commodoro
Tattnall, “the hero or'the age.”
Death has at last visited the ranks of
the Berry Infantry, and taken from its
number one who never failed to do his
duty and was.always at his post. I al
lude to. C. C Hansell, who - died on the
15th Inst. The only regret he had was
on accouiit of the destitution of his
wife and ohildren. It seemed to be a
great consolation to him to know that
he had served his country, not only in
our present struggle, but during the
Mexican war. The members of the
Berry Infantry sympathize with his
boreaved family in this their sad afflic
tion.
We hove but few cases of sickness in
our company. Karr BerryhiU, W. II.
Perkersoii, W. A. Baiker, Jos. Befour,
W. F. Green, and D. M.,Banks, are the
only ones that ore sick, and they are all
convalescent.
We have discharged, on account of
inability to do duty, James R. Waddle,
Henry H. Wore, Dr. J. L. Rousseau, W.
C. Winfrey, James D. Morris, L. M.
Hanna and A. R. Ashburn.
John D. Cameron has roceivod the
appointment of Quartermaster, and
ranks as Captain. Robt. Alexander,
son of John U. Alexander, has been
appointed Assistant Quartermaster.
Sergeant W. H. H. Camp lias been pro
moted to Sergeant Major. W. W.' Dar
nell appointed Sooond Sergeant.
The supply of furloughs have been
exhausted—there, is none on hand,
with the exeeption of some short oneB,
that will not last over twenty-four
hours, and some sick ones, and they
are on the gutta perclia order, that can
be stretched out to twice their origina-
length, with very little trouble, which
makes thorn more desirable, and in
greater demand than they otherwise
would be.
We have a groat many applicants
asking admission into our company.
We would like to reoeivo a few moro
recruits, but Capt. Turner has orders
not to receive any more men. Any
one under 18 or over 45 years, that can
bring a good gun can get in—none oth
er need vpply.
Gev. Brown’s oall for twelve more
Regiments, has created quite sonsation
in and about this oity, among thoe,
who have always been ready to volunteers
when it was necessary, and shed tho last
drop of blood in behalf of their couni
try, but who are very oaroful not to
shod the first. Somo are hunting around
to find an office vaoant in some compa
ny or Regiment. Some go so far as to
try to get on some of our GenerMstajJs.
The 4th of Maroh will find some minus
of an offioe, and will no doubt take
their chanees of a draft. I hope noth
ing of the sort will ever be said of any
one living in Floyd.
P. S.—-There is twenty-five or thirty
of tho Freemen of fTloyd on the aiok
list, They have a model Captain, who
Will do anything ho con for them.
They are in good hands.
INAUGURAL ADDRESS
OF
PRESIDENT DAVIS,
Delivered in Richmond,. Va., February 22,
1862, on his Installation as first President
of the Confederate /States oj America.
Fcllow-CitisensOn this, tho birth day
of the man most identified with the
establishment of A meal am indepen
dence, and beneath the monument
erected to commemorate his heroic vir--
lues and those of his compatriots, we
have assembled to ushor into existence
the permanent Government of the
Confederate States. Through tills in
strumentality, under tho favor of Di
vino Providence, we hopo to perpetuate
the principles of our Revolutionary
fathers. The day, the momory and
the purpose seem fitly associated.
It is with mingled feelings of humil
ity and pride I uppear to take, in tho
presence of the people and before high
Heaven, the oath prescribed as a quali
fication for the exalted station to which
the unanimous voice of tho peoplo has
culled me. Deeply sensible of’all that
is implied by this manifestation of the
people’s confidence, I am yet moi^>
profoundly impressed by tho vast re
sponsibility of tho.office, and humbly
feel my own unworlhiness.
In return for their kindness, I can
only offer assurances of tho gratitudo
with which it is received, and can but
pledge a zealous devotion of evory fac
ulty to the service of those who have
chosen me as their. Chief Magistrate.
: When a long course of class legisla
tion, directed not to the general wel
fare, but to tho aggrandisement of tiie
Northern section of the Union, culmi
nated in a warfare on the domestic in
stitutions of the Southern States— when
the dogmas of a sectional party, sub
stituted for tho provisions or the con
stitutional compact, threater.ed to de
stroy the sovereign rights of the States,
six of those Statos, withdrawing from
tho Union, confederated together, to
exorcise [he right and perfoim tho duty
of instituting a Government which
would better secure the liberties, for
the preservation of which that Union
was established.
Whatever of hope some may have
entertained that a returning sense of
justice would remove the danger with
which our rights woro threatened, and
render it possible to preserve tbe Union
of tho Constitution, must have been
dispelled by the malignity and barbari
ty of tbe Northern .States in the prose
cution of the existing war. The confi
dence of the most hopeful among us
must have been destroyed by tho disre
gard they have recently exhibited-for
all the time honored bulwarks of civil
and religious liberty. Bnstiles filled
with prisoners, arrested without civil
process, or indictment duly found;.tho
writ of habeas corpus suspended by flxo-
cutive mandate; a State Legislature
controlled by the imprisonment of
members whoso avowed principles sug
gested to the Federal Executive that
there might be another added to the
list of seceded States; elections hold
under threats of u military power;
civil 'officers, peaceful citizens, and
gentle women incarcerated for opinion’s
sake, proclaimed the incapacity of our
lace associates to administer a Govern
ment as free, liboral and humane as
that established for our common use.
For proof of th.o sincerity of our pur
pose to maintain our anoient institu
tions, we may point to the Constitution
of tho Confederacy and tho laws enact
ed under it, as. well as to the fucL that
through all the necessities of an un
equal struggle, thnro has been no act
on our part to impair personal liberty
or the freedom of speech, of thought
or of the press. The Courts havo been
open; the judicial functions fully exe
cuted, and every right of the peaceful
citizen maintained ns securely as if
a war of invasion had not disturbed the
land.
The people of tho States now confed
erated beoarne convinced that the Gov
ernment ot the United Slates had fal
len into the hands of a' Sectional
Majority, who would pervert that most
sacred of all trusts to the destruction
of the rights which it was pledged to
protect. They believed that to remain
longer in the Union would subject them
to a continuance of a disparaging dis
crimination,, submission to which would
be inconsistent with their welfare, and
intolerable to a proud people. They
therefore determined to sever its
bonds, and establish a new Confedera
cy l’ov themselves, ['Cheers.]
The experiment instituted by our
revolutionary fathers of a voluntary
union of sovoreign States for purposes
specified in a solemn compact, had
been perverted by those who, feeling
power and forgetting right, were de
termined to respect no law but their
own will. The Government had ceased
to answer the ends for which it was or
dained and established. To save our-
.selves iYom a revolution, which in its
silent but rapid progress was about to
plaoo us under tho despotism of -num-
bew, and to preserve in spirit as well
as in form, a system of Government,
wo believed to be’ peculiarly fitted to
our condition and full of . promise for
mankind, we determined to make a
new association composed ’ of States
homogeneous in interest, in policy and
in feeling. [Cheers.]
True to our traditions of peace and
our love of justice, ire sept Commis
sioners to the United States' to propose
a fair and amicable settlement of all
questions • of public debt of broperty
whioh might be'in dispute. But the
Government at Washington, denying
our right to self Government, refused
even toTigten io any proposals for a
peaceful separation. Nothing was then
loft to us but to preparo for war.—
[Cheers.] %
The first year in our history has been
the most eventful in the annals of this
Continent. A new Government has
been established, and Ub machinery
put in operation over an area exceeding
700,000 square miles. The great prin
ciples upon which we havo been willing
to liazArd everything that is dear to
man, havo mado conquest's for us whioh
could never have boon achieved by tho
sword. Our Confederacy lias grown
from six to thirteen States; and Mary
land, already united to us by hallowod
memories, and material interests, will,
I believe,' when able to spoak with un
stifled voice, connect her d satiny witli
the South. [Great applause.] Our
people linOo rallied with unexampled
unanimity to the support of tho great
principles of constitutional Govern
ment, with firm resolvo to perpetuate
by arms tho rights wl.ich they could
not peacefully secure. A million of
men, it is estimated, are now standing
in hostile army,.and waging war along
a frontier of thousands of miles; bat
tles havo been fought; Bieges havo
been conducted, and although the oon-
test is not ended, nnd the tide for the
moment is against us, tho final result
in our favor 7s not doubtful.
Tbe period is near at hand when our
foes must sink under tho immense load
of debt which they have incurred.;
debt which in their efforts to subjugi
us, has already attained such fearful
dimensions as will subject them te bur
thens which must continue to oppress
them for generations to come.
We, tbo, have had our trials and dif
ficulties. That we are to escape them
in future is not to be hoped. It was to
bo expected when we entered upon tho
war, that it would expose our peoplo to
sacrifices, nnd cost thorn muoli, both of
monoy nnd of blood. But we know
the value of the object for whioh wo
struggled, and understood the nature
of the war in which wo were engaged.
Nothing could be so bad as failure, and
any sacraflce would be cheap as the
f ries of success in such a contest.
Cheers.]
But the picture has its lights as woll
ns its shadows. The great strifo lias
awakened in the people the highest
emotions and qunlites of human soul.
It is cultivating feelings of patriotism,
virtue and courage. Instances of self
sacrifice, and generous, devotion to the
noble cause for which we are contend
ing, are rifo throughout the land.—
Never has a peoplo evinced a more
determined spirit than that now ani
mating men women and children in
every part'of our country. Upon the
first call tho men fly to arms; and
wives nnd mothers send their husbands
and sons to buttle without a murmur
of regret.
It was, perhaps, in tho ordination of
Providence that wo were to bo taught
tho value of our liberties by tbo price
which wo pay for them.
The recollection of this great contest
with ull its common traditions of glory,
of sacrifice, and of blood, will be the
bond of harmony and enduringaffection
amongst tho peoplo, produoing unity
in policy, fraternity in sentiment and
joint effort iu war.
Nor have tho material sacrifices of
the past year been made without some
corresponding benefits. If the acquies
cence of foreign nations in a protend
ed blockade has' deprived us of our
commerce with them, it is fast mak
ing os u self supporting and an inde
pendent people. The blockade if effec
tual and permanent, could only serve
to divert our industry from the produc
tion of articles for export, an i employ
it in supplying commodities for domes
tic use.
It is a satisfaction that we have
maintained the war by our unaided
exertions. We have neither asked nor
received assistance from any quarter.—
Yet the interest involved is not
wholly our own. The world at large
is concerned in opening our markets to
its commerce. WnTen the independence
of the Confederate States is recognized
by the nations of the earth, and we are
free to follow our interests and inclina
tions by cultivating foreign trade, the
Southern States will offer to manu
facturing nations the most favorable
market which ever invited their com
merce. Cotton, sugar, rice, .tobacco,
provisions, timber and naval stores,
will furnish -attractive exchanges, -
Nor would the constancy of these
supplies be likely to bo disturbed by
tbe war. Our Confederate strength
will bo too groat to tempt aggression,
and never was there a peoplo whoso
interest and principles committed
them so fully to a peaceful policy os
thoso of the Confederate States. By
the character of their productions
thoy are too deeply interested in for
eign commerce wantonly to disturb it.—
Wnr of conquest they cannot wage,
bsoause the constitution of thoir Con
federacy admits of no coerced associa
tion. Civil war there cannot be be
tween States held together by their
volition only. This rule of voluntary
association', which cannot fail to be
consovative, by securing and impartial
Government at home, doos not dimin
ish the security of obligations by which
the Confederate States may be bound
to foreign nations. In proof of this it
is to be remembered, that at the first
moment of asserting their right of se
cession, these States proposed a settle
ment on the basis of a common liabili
ty for the obligations of tho General
Govqrnifaent.' 4
Fellow-Citizens.—After the struggles
of ages had cohqenftatn'd'tb'e'.right ‘of
provided for their posterity a peaceful
remedy against futuro aggression.
The tyranny of an unbridled majori
ty, the most odious and least responsi
ble form of despotism has denied iis
both the right and thA remedy.—
Therefore, we are in arms to renew
such sacrifices as our fathers made to
tho holy cause of constitutional liberty.
At the darkost hour of our strugglo
tho Provisional gives place to the Per
manent Government. After a series
of success and victories, whioh covered
our arms with glory, wo havo recently
met with serious disasters. But in the
heart of a people resolved to be free,
these disasters tend but to stimulate to
increased resistance.
To show ourselves worthy of the in
heritance bequeathed to us by the pa
triots of tho Revolution, we must emu
late that heroio devotion which made
a reverse to them but the crucible in
which their patrnliara was refined.—
[Applause.-]
With confidence in llie wisdom and
and virtue of those who will share with
