Davis, of Mississippi, was ln- lidept of Tmk Confederate jranoA, on Capitol Hill, city of at 1 o'clock precisely on !8,1801. 68rtmonlcB ure said to have pagwnt ever wltnesned In the L that “ our present condl- achievcd In a manner un- :ory of Nations, Illustrates Govern in ents rest upon ed, and that it is the ir and abolish Govcrn- iffle destructive to the kblished.” Ida a well instructed numerous than un- The President fur- ilon of the Confed- lld not ditTer from it would be more ts.

Would be destroyed. To foster these interests, and to expand and perpetuate, if needs be, ^eir Institutions, was the great con trolling cause of the Secession of the Cotton The Seceding States being the producers of the greet staples of sugar, rice, and cotton, are aWftiw that their existence depends solely upon Am eulhureef these staples by African slave la bor. therefore, these States were resolved not to submit to the legislation of any party, whose elevation to power was solely upon the idea of hostility to African slavery. Independent of the causes producing Seces sion, the promptings of self-preservation by the cotton States, bad its due weight in the se cession movement. It was deemed all-impor tant, that African slavery should expand. It had become palpable, that the North would never permit its expansion, and that the great object of Federal legislation was to surround and hem in (he institution. The Southern peo ple, being therefore convinced that, unless sla very could have an outlet towards the tropics, in a few generations it would cease to exist* Hence, the objact of secession was not only for the preservation of their interests at this time, but it was to perpetuate and hand down to posterity the institution of African slavery. We hazard nothing in saying, then, that the institutions of a Sonthern Confederacy will, at no distant day, be successfully planted in all territory lying South of 30° 30', even to the Pacific ocean. TAe Chrietianixation of JYtfroes, The four millions of negroes at the South are the most civilised and moat christianized of any four millions of negroes ever known to ex ist upon the face of this earth; and any ra tional person must know, if he knows anything about the negro, that if the supremacy of the white man over him were abolished, he would soon relapse into his original condition of sav agery. The “ Educational Journal,” of For syth, Georgia, gives the following as the num ber of negro “slaves” connected with the dif ferent churches South: Connected with the Meth. Church South are 200,000 Methodist, North, in Virginia and Ma ryland, 13,600 Missionary and Hard Shell Baptists 107,000 Old School Presbyterians 12,000 New School Presbyterians, supposed... 0,000 Cumberland Preebyterians 20,000 Protestant Episcopalians 7,000 Campbellites, or Christian Churches 10,000 All other sects combined 20,000 Total colored membership, 8outh....466,000 u It is a safe calculation,” remarks the same journal, “ to ssy that three for every one con nected with the Churches attend divine service on the Lord’s day. In the extreme Southern States there are more, for the owners and over seen require them, in many instances, to turn out to preaching. Then, 465,06# multiplied by 3 givee us 1,306,009 slaves in attendance on di vine service in the South every Sabbath. Millionsof dollars have been spent, and hun dred! of valuable lives lost in the attempt to evangeliae Africa, and yet slavery—abhorred, cursed and reviled institution of slavery—has brought ua five times the number of negroes into the Church than all the missionary ordin ations of the world combined. “ These foots are food for reflection. Self- righteous and above the ways of humble god liness, as political preaohers generally ar«t one would suppose such practical results would stagger their self-coneelt and overweening con fidence, that they are right in denouncing slave ry, and God wrong in permitting It.” Froihlfer Moutgoaury AdvtrUaec, 17 th. ARRIVAL OF PRESIDENT DA VIA! Mia Speech at the Kxchanvi-~Jir. »W>•- fsp*s Speech, The distinguished President elect of tlic Con federate States, arrived iu the city lust night, on the 10 o’clock train from West Point, accompa nied by E. Barksdale, Esq., of the Jackson “Mis| sissipian,” and Mr. C. K. Dickson, also of Jack- son, Mississippi, and attended by the committee on the part of the State. Gen. Davis was received at West-Point by lion. E. C. Bullock, on behalf of the committee, in a most elegant and tilting speech, which was res ponded to by our honored guest in terms which we have never heard surpassed for comprehen sion, power, spirit and eloquence. We regret exceedingly tint there was no phonogruplicr present to report verbatim the remarks of Mr. Bullock, and the response of Gen. Davis. Both addresses consumed about twenty minutes each in delivery; were cheered throughout by the by-standers. Gen. Davis’ thrilling accents were received with indescribable emotions of gratifi cation. He was then conducted to the elegant ]»assenger car provided by Col. Charles T. Pol lard for the occasion, and the train sped on Us way, amid the huzzas of the multitude for their President. At Opelika, where wc stopped for supper, Dr. Thornton, deputed by the citizens of that place, extended a hearty welcome to Gen. Davis, who again responded briefly and iu eloquent style.— At Auburn the enthusiasm was so great that Ccn. Davis appeared upon the platform, and de livered another short aud beautiful speech to the crowd which had assembled to greet him.— Loachapoka was in a blaze of excitement to hear the new President, but before he reached the point to address them, the Conductor, misappre hending an order to move further ami stop, for the signal to go on, continued ou his course to Montgomery. It was then too late to turn back, and thus it was our Loachapoka friends lost a treat. At other points on the route there w ere calls from the crowd, but the train being behind the time could not liccd the invitations. Arrived at the depot iu Montgomery, and Gen. Davis was welcomed to the hospitalities of the city In a capital speech from Judge II. W. Wat son, in the name of the corporate authorities— and here again responded in a stirring speech, which was warmly cheered by the large attend ance of citizens. He was then conveyed to bis apartments at the Exchange, in a carriage with Hons. E. C. Bullock and W. L. Yancey, followed by others of the State Committee, where Gen. Davis and Mr. Yancey were respectively called out and made the speeches reported below : 6PEKC11 OF GEN. DAVIS. Fellow Citizens and Brethren of the Confed erate States of America:—For now we are brethren, not in name merely, but in fact— men of one flesh, of one bone, of one interest, of one purpose, and of iudeotity in domestic institutions. We have, henceforth. 1 trust, the prospect of living together iu peace, with our institutions subject to protection aud not to defamation. It may be that our career will be ushered in fbojuidst of storm—it may be that as this morning, opened with clouds, and mist and rain, we shall have to encouuter inconveniences at the beginning—but, as the sun rose, lifted the mist, and dispersed the clouds, and left us the pure sunlight of heaven, so will the progress of the Southern Confed eracy carry us into the safe 9ea, and safe harbor of constitutional liberty, and political equality. [Applause.] Thus we shall have nothing to fear at home,because at home we have homogenity. We have nothing to fear abioad, because if war should come—and if we must again baptise in blood, the principles for which our fathers bled in the revolution, we shall •how that we are not degenerate sons, but will redeem the pledges they gave, and redeem too, the chartered rights thus given to us—and show that Southern valor ( still lives aud shines as brightly as in 1776, in 1812, and in every other conflict—[Applause.] I was informed, my friends, that your kind ness only required that I should appear be fore you. Fatigued by travel, and hoarse, I am unable to speak at any length, but I feel grateful to you among other manifestations for your good will exhibited on this occasion. I come now to discharge the great duties de volved upon me by the kinduess and confi dence of the Congress df the Confederate States. I thank, you, my friends, for the kind man ifestations of favor and approbation which you exhibit on this occasion. Throughout my entire progress to this city, I have receiv ed the same flattering demonstrations of re gard and approbation. I did not regard them as personal to myself, but as tendered to me as the humble representative of the principles and policy of the Confederate States. I will devote to the duties of the high office to which I have been called, all that 1 have cf heart, of head and of hand. If in the progress of events it shall become necessary that my sorvices shall be needed in another position—if to be plain, necessity shall require that I shall again enter into the ranks of the soldiery, I know that you will welcome me there.| [Applause ] Now, my friends, thanking you for this manifestation of your approbation allow me to bid you good night. MR. YAHCKT’S SPEECH. Fellow Citizens—As the distinguished gentle- man who has just addressed you has said, the country does not now look to nieu, but to prin- ciples. But how fortunate is our country ! She has not only the principles for the admin- istra'ion of government, but also the man. She has found in the distinguished gentleman she has oalled to preside over her public affairs, the statesman, the soldier and the patriot. (Applause.) She has the statesman—one emi nently okilled in publio affairs, thoroughly understanding the great principles on which our government is based, skillful, wise and moderate. She has the soldier, distinguished upon the field of battle, wise in council, terri ble in the charge. [Applause,] She has a patriot, just, upright and incorruptible. [Ap plause] Neither fear would deter or favor seduce him or cause him to swerve from the path of rectitude aud duty. I may say again, fortunate, thrice fortunate, are the people of the South. The have found the man as well as the principles—a man in whom is combined in •o eminent a degree the wisdom of the states man, the skill of the soldier, and the incorrup tibility of the patriot. The man and the hour have met. We may now hope that prosperity, honor and victory await hio administration. [Applause.] TAe Deace Congress• The committee of the Pence Congress at Washington, agree 1, on tbs 17th, upon a plan of adjustment, substantially the same as that presented by Mr. Crittenden in (he Senate.— The vote stood 12 to 9. RMPTho Southern Confederacy will have Jtftg regiments ready for the field by the 4th of Marek. CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA. President Da via’ Inauguration Address. Gentlemen of the Congress of Confederate States of Amerioa, friends and fellow-eitiseis > I a in called to a difficult and reeponsible sta tion, as Chief Exeeutive of the Provisional Government, which you have instituted. I ap proach to the discharge of the duties assigned me with an humble distrust of my abilities, but with sustaining confidence in tbe wisdom of tho.*e who are to guide and aid me in the administration of public affairs, and an abid ing faith iu the virtue and patriotism of the Looking forward to the speedy establishment of a permanent Government to take the place of this, and which, by its greater moral and physical power, will be better able to combat with many difficulties which may arise from conflicting interests of separate Nations, I en ter upon the duties of the office to which I have been chosen, with the hope that tbe beginning of our career as a Confederacy may not be ob structed by hostile opposition to our enjoyment of, and existence in, the independence which we have asserted, and, with the blessing of Providence, we intent to maintain. Our pres ent condition, which has been achieved in a manner unprecedented in the history of Na tions, illustrate* the American idea, that gov ernment rests upon the conduct of the gov erned, and that it is the right of the people to alter and abolish Governments whenever they become destructive of the ends for which they were established. The declared purpose of the compact of the Union from which we have withdrawn was to establish Justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide common defence, promote general wel fare, secure blessings and liberty to ourselves and our posterity, and when, in tbe judgment of the Sovereign States now composing this Confederacy, it has been perverted from the purposes for which it was ordained, andoeased to answer the ends for which it Was established, a peaceful appeal to the Ballot Box declared, that, so lar as they were concerned, tbe Gov ernment created by that compact should cease to exist. In this they merely asserted the right which the Declaration of Independence, in 1776, defined to be inelianable at the time and occasion of its exercise ; they, as Sovereigns, &re the final judges each for itself. The impartial and enlightened verdict of mankind will vindicate tbe rectitude of our conduct, and He who knows the hearts of men, will judge of the sincerity with which we la bored to preserve the Government of our fath ers, iu its spirit. Tbe right solemnly proclaim ed at the birth of States, aud which has been affirmed and re affirmed in bills, and the rights of States subsequently admitted into the Un- of 17S9, undoniably recognize in the peo ple the power to resume the authority dele gated for the purpose of Government. Thus, the Sovereign States here represented proceed ed to form this Confederacy, and it is by an abuse of language that their act has been de nounced revolution. They have formed a new alliance, but within each State its Government has remained. Therightsof person and proper ty has not been di3tu:bed,b it iho age it t n*jgh whom they communicated with foreign na tions is changed ; but this does not necessarily nterrupt their international relations. Sus tained by the consciousness that the transition from the former Union to the present Confed eracy did not proceed from disregard on our part of just obligations, or any failure to per form every Constitutional duty- -moved by no ntercst or passion to invade the rights of oth- irs, but anxious to cultivate peace and the com merce of all nations. If we may not hope to d war, we may at least expect that poster ity will acquit us of having needlessly engag ed in it—doubly justified by the absence of wrong on our part, and by wanton aggression on the part of others. There can be no cause to doubt that the courage and patriotism of the people of the Confederate States will be found equal to any measures of defence which soon their security tuny require. As an agricultu ral people, whose chief interest is the export of a commodity required in every manufactur ing country, our policy is peace and the freest trade which our necessities will permit. It is al J ke our interest and that of all those to whom we would sell, and from whom we would buy, that there should be the fewest practicable re strictions upon the interchange.of commodities. There can be but little rivalry between our and any manufacturing or navigating community, such as the North-Eastern States of the Amer ican Union. It must follow, therefore, that mutual interests would unite them in good will and kind offices. If, however, the passion or lust for dominion should cloud the judgment, or inflame the ambition of those States, we must prepare to meet the emergency and main tain, by final arbitrament of the sword, the position which we have assumed among the nations of the earth. We have eutered upon a career of indepen dence, and it must be iufiexibly pursued.— Through many years of controversy with our lato associates, the Northern States, we have vainly endeavored to secure tranquility, and to obtain the respect for our rights to whioh we are entitled. As a necessity, and not as a. choice, we have resorted to the remedy of sep aration, and henceforth our energies must be directed to the conduct of our own affairs and the perpetuity of the Confederacy which we have formed. If a just perception of mutual interests shall permit us peaceably to preserve our separate political career, my most earnest desire will have been fulfilled ; but if this shall be denied us, and the integrity of our territory and juris diction be assailed, it will but remain for us,' with firm resolve, to appeal to arms and invoke the blessing of Providence, in this just cause. As a consequence of our new condition, and with a view to meet anticipated wants, it will be necessary to provide a speedy and efficient organisation of the different branches of tbe Executive Department, having special charge of Foreign intercourse, the Finances, Military affairs, and the Poetal service. For purposes of defence, the Confederate States may, under ordinary circumstances, rely mainly upon their militia, but it ia deemed ad visable, in the present condition of aflafrs, that there should be a well instructed and discip lined army, more numerous than would usual ly be required in a peace establishment. I also suggest that fbr the proteotion of our harbors, and our commerce upon the high seas, a navy adapted to those objects will be requir ed. These necessities have, doubtless, engaged the attention of Congress. With a Constitution differing from that of our father* only in so far as it is explanatory of their well known intent, freed from section al conflicts, which ha7e Interfered with the pursuit of the general welfare, It is not unrea sonable to expect that the States from which we have recently parted may seek to unite their fortunes with ours, under the Government which we have instituted. For this your Con stitution makes adequate provisions, but be yond this, if I mistake not the judgment and will of the people, a re-union with tbe States from whioh we have separated is neither prac ticable nor desirable. To increase the power, develop the resources, and promote the happiness of a Confederacy, it is requisite that there should be so much of homogeneity, that the welfare of every portion •hall be the desire of the whole. Where this does not exist, antagonisms are engendered which must and should result in separation. Actuated solely by a desire to preserve our own rights end promote our own welfare, the separation of the Confederate States has been marked by no aggression upon others, and fol lowed by no domestic convulsion ; our indus trial pursuits have received no check ; the cul tivation of our fields has progressed as hereto fore; and even should we be involved in war, there would be no considerable diminution in the production of the staples which have con stituted our exports, in which the commercial world has an interest scarcely less than our own. The common interest of producer and consumer can only be intercepted by an exte rior force which should obstruct tbe transmis sion of these staples to foreign markets, a course of conduct which would be as unjust towards us, as it would be detrimental to manufactur ing and commercial interests abroad. Should reason guide the action of the government from which we have separated, a policy so detri mental to the interests of the civilized world, the Northern States included, could not be dic tated by even the strongest deaire to inflict injury upon ns, but if the government should act otherwise, a terrible responsibility will rest upon it, and the sufferiug of millions will bear testimony to tbe folly and wickedness of tbe aggressors. In the meantime, there would remaiu to us, besides the ordinary remedies before suggested, the well known resources for retaliation upon the commerce of an enemy. Experience in public stations of subordinate grades, to this, which your kindness has con ferred upon me, has taught me that care, and toil, and disappointment, are the price of offi cial elevation. You will see many errors to for give, many deficiencies to tolerate; but you shall not find in me either want of zeal or of fidelity to the cause that is to me the highest in hope, and of most enduring affection. Your generosity has bestowed upon me an undeser ved distinction—one which I neither sought nor desired. Upon the continuance of that aentiment, and upon your wisdom and patriot ism I rely, to direct and support me in the per formance of the duty required at my hands.— We have changed the constituent parts, but not the system of our government. The Con stitution formed by our fathers, is that these confederate States in their exposition of it, and in the judicial construction it has received, we have a light which reveals its true meaning.— Thus instructed as to the just interpretation of tbe instrument, and ever remembering that all offices are but trusts held for tbe people, and that delegated powers are to be strictly construed, I will hope by due diligence in the performance of my duties, though 1 may dis appoint your expectations, yet to retain when retiring, something of the good will and confi dence which welcomes my entrance into office. It iajoyous in the midst of perilous times to look eround upon a people united in heart where one purpose of high resolve animates and ac tuates the whole; where the sacrifices to be made are not weighed in the balance against honor, right, liberty and equality—obstacles may retard, but they cannot long prevent the progress of a movement sanctified by its jus tice, and sustained by a virtuous people. Rev erently let ua invoke the God of our fathers to guide and protect us in our efforts to perpetu ate the principle* which by His blessings they were able to vindicate, establish and transmit to their posterity and with a continuance of His favor ever gratefully acknowledged, we may hopefully look forward to success, to peace and to prosperity. The Prospect. A New York gentleman, who has lately trav eled from the Potomac to the Savannah, and mingled freely with all classes, both in tbe se cluded neighborhoods end the Urge cities, sums up as follows, in a letter to the New York “Jour nal of Commerce,” the results of his observa tions : “The summing up of all these is, that the time has come wheu the only reasonable ef forts which we in the North can make, should be, not to save the Union, (for that is gone,) but to induce a peaceable separation of the States without bloodshed and disaster. “All other hopes are futile. Those who be lieve that Border Conventions, or State Con ventions, or even National Conventions, can re-cement the broken fragments, are dreamers. Those who propose to coerce the South into a return to the Union are mad. Neither will avail. The one is powerless, the other is sim ple insanity. Aud what then f Why, thesirn- ple remedy ol parting in peace; of striking hands by treaty, to live in kindly brotherhood : each branch of the old family pursuing their own business, and fulfilling their own mission as best they may. To this end every true friend of his country should now bend his energies. It is our last and only hope. Aud If our men in power at Waahington oould only realisetbie, the dark clouds above us would soon break.” The whole net revenue of England, for the year ending December 31, I860, amounted to £71,967,496—about equal, in round numbers, to $360,000,000. This is but the net amount.— The cost of collection, estimated at an average of 8 per cent, would make the groee amount of English taxation £77,700,000 for the year just ended. 8urely an immense sum is $388,600,000 to be paid by a population smaller than our own—a population, too, the great majority of which is much poorer than our own. It is raised thus: by Customs, 23 millions sterling; by Excise, 19 millions; by Stamps, 21 millions; by Taxes, 3 millions; by the Poet Office, 31 millions; by Crown Lands, a quarter million; by Miscellaneous payments, nearly 2 million*; and by Property and Income Tax, close upon 3 million pounds eterlinf. Yet, im mense aa is this amount, it is inadequate, by nearly 3 millions sterling, to meet the year s expenditure. LIH'k' OF LfciTTfciltH JkTNUG la the Poet Office ' Georgia, Febttftry 15th, 1861.
