President Davis’ Speech in New Yoke.—
The New York .Herald, of the 11th instant,
has the following comments on the speech of
President Davis recently delivered in Rich
mond:

“He proposes,” speakiug of Lincoln, “to sup

war on the Constitution he has sworn to support
and tramples it under his feet. ‘I do order and

you in the chair of ‘Washington to ‘ order and

out the laws, sustain the Constitution and obey
the people. Instead of this, you are yourself
above all laws, all constitutions and despise tbe
people who placed yon where yon are, • • *

What profound gratitude to an All Wise and
benignant Providence should penetrate dur
hearts as a people, tbat each sovereign State
possesses and has ever possessed the inherent,
inalienable right to separate forever lrom a race

patriot sires, j ".federation of States', who
have bequeathed to us the true and only chart
by which We can now advance in a glorious ca
reer of prosperity and power. The learned
Montesquieu has wisely said that public virtue
is the Keystone of a Republican Government.

Th
General Hardee at tbe Battle ot filurfi ees
boro*.
Tullauoua, Jan.17.1863.
ve just seen your paper of ike 12th
ing a report from Gen. Rosen-
cranz of bis operations about Murfreesboro’.
This report contains an error, respecting
Lieut. Gen, Hardee’s corps, which it is
important to correct. On tbe 26th of De
cember Rosencranz says Gen McCook drove
Gen. Hardee’s corps a mile and a half from
Nolensville, and occupied that place. The
truth ie, no part of Gen. Hardee’s corps
occupied Nolensville on that day, or had
occupied it previously. One division, Breck
inridge’s, tyas stationed at Murfreesboro’,
the other, Cleburu’s, at College Grove,
twelve miles from Nolensville, with one
brigade at Triune, nine miles from that
place. Nolensville .was occupied solely by a
portion of Warton’s brigade of cavalry, at
tached to Polk’s corps, and which retired
fighting gallantly as the enemy advanced.
On the night of the same day, the 26th,
Gen. Brag!.', convinced that the enemy was
moving in force on his position at Murfrees
boro’, ordered Gen. Hardee, with Cleburu’s
to that
cavalry
Cleburn'8
division reached Murfreesboro’ on the
mdrning of the 29th, save Wood's brigade,
which had been left near Triune, as direc
ted, and did n6t reach General Hardee
until the 30th. The original line of battle
was formed with Hardee’s corps on the
right and Polk on the lef , Stone river
separating the two corps. On the evening,
the enemy not appearing on the right, and
it having become certain that he had ex
tended his right fiank beyond Polk’s left,
the ever reliable Hardee was ordered, with
McCown’s and Cleburn’s divisions and
Wharton’s cavalry, to our extreme left,
with instructions to get the command into
position that night and to attack the ene
my at daylight the nes£t morning. Breck
inridge’s division was still in position on
our right. At early dawn Hardee com
pletely surprised and routed McCook’s
corps. It was driven back to the Nashville
pike, a distance of more than three miles,
with the loss of many pieces of cannon,
several thousand prisoners and several
thousand stands of small arms. This corps
and their commander covered themselves
with imperishable renown, and the impet
uosity of their attack would have done
honor-to the beat tvoaps that ever surroun-

like a veritable fiahworaan against “tbe Yan
kees.” He says that their conduct in this war
has been that of demons; tbat “every crime
conceivable, from the burning of deienseless
towns to the stealing of silver forks and spoons,
baa marked their crimes that General Butler,
in New Orleans, “exerted himself to earn the
execrations of the civilized worldand that
the Northern invaders of the South in every
way have shown themselves so utterly disgraced
“that if tbe question was proposed to yon
whether yon would combine with hyenas or
Yankees, I trust every Virginian would say,
give me the hyenas.” (Cries of “Good,”
“Good,” and applanee.) This declaration was
coupled with an allusion to President Lincoln’s
emancipation proclamation, and from those re-
r uses of “good,” "good,” we are admonished
t henceforth this war on the part ol the
rebels will be fought with a unity of purpose
and an intensity ot hatred against the Union
which they have never yet exhibited.
To anm up tbe essential points of these late
speeches of Jeff. Davis in a few words, they
warn the administration at Washington that the
armies or the rebellion, instead of being nearly
subdued, are stronger to-day than they were a
year ago; that the rebel leaders are more confi
dent ot succors uow than they were last Janua
ry ; that they intend to "’strain every effort” to
save Vicksburg, Port Hudson and Richmond;
that these are the strongest and yet the vulner
able points of the rebellion, and that if we fail
in securing them before the return of spring, we
may prepare for European intervention and dis
union, or for a new army of a million of men.”
Exemptions.
.Hon. Hines Holt ofGa.h&8 submitted to
Congress the following bill ttf exempt from
military service certain persons, and to re
peal tho'the two exemption acts heretofore
passed:
Section 1st. The Congress of (Ae Confederate
States of America do enact, That all persons
who, under rales and regulations to be pre
scribed by the Secretary of War, shall be
found unfit for military service in the field by
reason of mental or bodily infirmity; the
and two years’ men, whose term of service will
expire in May next. The discussion elicited by
this monstrous proposition disclosed the inten*
lions of tbe Proclamationists to couple milita
ry service with the boon of emancipation, and
send to the field all tbe negroes they can seduce
or steal from tbe South. The motion to lay
thia proposition on tbe .table was lost; so that,
by a vote of 83 to 53, tbe Yankee House of
Representatives have shown its readiness to
cencur in the practical workings of Lincoln’s
Proclamation, should they succeed in catching
tbe slaves of the South, What a motive for ev
ery sacrifice we can make does this fact of it
self supply to the South !
There are many rumors afloat respecting the
known and contemplated movements of Burn
side along the northern bank of the Rappahan
nock. Rumors, however, make very unreliable
letters, and I will, therefore, confine myself to
what ie officially known and therefore authentic.
The past few days Burnside has actually made
such disposition of whatever army he has, as to
indicate an intention to cross the river some
distance above and below Fredericksburg. It ie
known positively that heavy reinforcements
have been detailed from his army and sent to
North Carolina; but it has also been ascertained
that, since the battle of Fredericksbnrg, he has
received large additions of fresh troops. These
recent movements indicate one oi two things:
Either he intends to cross and hazard another
battle, or he is manceuvering by feints to prevent
any diversion from General Lee’s army in view
oi tbe impending battle in North Carolina. In
either case his feints *or his pluck will be alike
unavailing. Thus stand matters at Fredericks*
burg at 8 A. M. tosday (the 20ih).
The proceedings in Congress so far this week
have been mostly conducted in secret session.
It is generally rumored through the city that
these secret sessions are specially held to con
sider inportant documents which the President
has received from Europe and transmitted to
Congress. Such ie not the case. The secret
sessions were ordered to consider and mature
Bills of a military character, the details of]
which are not proper for the enemy’s ear, at the
present time. One of these Bills passed in
secret session to-day. Though the news from
Europe ie, in the highest degree, encouraging,
nothing of a definitive character, requiring the

fiiE Crime Admitted.—We find the fol
lowing paragraph, which shows that the
Federal General McNeil admits the brutal
act with which he stands charged as having
committed at Palmyra, Mo., in a letter
from St. Louis to the New York Herald: ,
The demand for Gen. McNeil has not
been made; but Jeff. Davis, through Gen
Holmes, asks Gen. Curtis whether the re
ported shooting of guerillas by Gen. McNeil
is true. This is considerable of a descent
from the high and saucy attitude at first
assumed.
