THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Wt have read this paper with much
•atUfactlon. It it plain that, holding the
conititutional view* expressed in it, the
President cannot and will not approre
any of the radical action proposed by
Messrs. Sumner, Wilson and Stevens—
such as forciog black suffrage on the
States, or other Congressional action in
terfering with the domestic legislation of
the States, remanding the States to a ter
ritorial condition, etc. Whether the
radicals will have the power to pass such
measures over the veto of the President,
remains toTio determined. Herein, wo
think, lies the danger to us,
We concludo, from the reading of thq
message, that (tho constitutional amend
Mr. Sumner introduced a concurrent
resolution, declaratory of the adoption of
the Constitutional Amendment abolishing
alavory.
Mr. Sumner introduced a series of res
oiulions declaratory of the duty of Con
gress especially in respect to the loyai
citizens of tho States lately in rebellion.
Mr. Sumner introduced a joint roaolu-
lion proposing to amend the Constitution
so as to make the voters, instead of tho
population, the basis of representation in
Congress.
In the House, alter tho calling of the
roll by the Clerk—
Mr, James Brooks, of New York,
made a speech, characterising the omis
sion of the names of the members from
Tebncisoc from the roll as “unprecedent
ed, unjust, and totally uncalled for.” If
be said Mr. Maynard wus not a represen
tative from a Union and loyal Slate, then
the President of the United Staios was
not a loyal man, but an alien and a stran
ger. He classified the adopting of the
resolution, excluding the Southern mem*
bers, in the Republican caucus, as being
designed to bo antagonistic to tho Presi
dent's forthcoming message.
The House took no action on the
ject, but underthe deration of the p
out question, proceeded to tho eleclh
a Speaker. Hon. Schuy\m Collar, ft In
to confer with a committee from the House
in relation to tho de. th of President Lin

On motion of Mr. Klliott, it was order

as relates to freedmen bo refer! ed to a
special committee of nine.
Mr. Bingham ottered amendments to
the Constitution annulling export duties,
repudiating the rebel debt and securing
to all persons equal protection and tqunl
rights and liberty. Amendment* referred
to the committee on the judiciary.
Mr. Farnsworth introduced a resolution
declaring it to bo unjust to deny colored
persons the right of suttrago, who lmve

The House adopted tho Senate’s resolu
tion for the appointment of a committee
to wait on Hon. C. J. Jenkins, Governor
elect, and ascertain when it would suit bis
convenience to be inaugurated.
A number of propositions in reference
to freedmen, enlarged exemption laws,
stay law, the relief of sick and disabled
soldiers, Ac., were introduced, but not
aoted on.
The Senate passed resolutions to bring
on the elections of State House officers and
Public Printer on Friday, but tho House
refused to concur, on the ground that it
would be improper to elect those officers
before the inauguration of the Governor.
Both Houses adjourned over to Friday.
The Savannah Republican ofthcGth inst.
• says that the charge on which Mr. G. B.
Lamar, sr., and hia*on, Mr. G. B. Lamar,
jr., were arrested the other day, was “at
tempting to bribe officials in relation to the
seizure of a large quantity of cotton.” It
expresses the trust, however, that "Mad
ame Rumor has once more been too busy
with the reputations of private citizens,
whoso characters stand above reproach
both North and South.”
Mr. Colfax was declared elected, and
amid applnuBe was conducted to the chair
by Messrs. Morrill and Brooks, when he
returned thanks in a brief and eloquent
speech.
Gentlemen of the House of Representa
tives: The reassembling of Congress,
marking, as it does, the procession of our
ualional history, is always regarded with
interest by the people for whom it is to
legislate. But it is not unsafe to say that
millions more than over before, North,
South, East and West, are looking to the
Congress which opens its first session to
day, with an uarnestuess and solicitude
unequaled on similar occasions in the past.
The Tbirty-eigbth Congress closed its
constitutional existence with storm clouds
of war still lowering over u«, and, alter a
nine months’ absence, Congress resumes
its legislative authority in these national
halls, rejoicing that from shore to shore
in nur land there is peace.
Its duties are as obvious a* the sun's
pathway in the heavens, representing in
its two branches, tho Slates and the peo
ple. Its first and highest obligation is to
guarantee to every Slate a republican form
of government The rebellion bavin,
overthrown the constitutional Stato Gov
ernments in many of the Slates, it is you
duty to mature und enact by legislation,
which, with concurrence, will secure Gov
ernments on such a ba»e>of enduring jus
tice us will guarantee all necessary sale-
guards to tho people and ntt'ord what our
Magna Charta, the Declaration ol lndo-
pendonca, proclaims as the chief object of
all Governments—protection to all men in
their inalienable rights. [Applause] The
world should witness this greul worn, the
most inflexible fidelity and earnest devo
tion to tho principles of liberty aud hu
manity. Tbo truest patriotism and the
wisest statesmanship are required. Mon
by the hundreds of thousands have died
that the Repub ic migbt live. Tnu em
blems of mourning have darkened the
White House and the cabin alike. The
tires of civil war have melted every fetter
in tho land, and proved the fuuural pyre
of slavery. It is for you representatives
to do your work as faithfully and a» well
a6 did the fearless saviors of the Union in
their morodangerous arena of duty. Then
wo may live to bee tho vacant and once
abandoned seats around ns gradually fill
ing up until this hall shall contain Re
presentatives from every State und dis
trict, and their hearts dovotod to the Un
ion for which thoy are to legislate—joalous
of its honor, proud of its glory, watchful
of its rights, and hostile to its enemies s
and its stars on our banner that paled
when the States they represented arrayed
themselves in arms against it. The nation
will shine with a more brilliant light of
loyalty than ever before. [Applause.]
Invoking the guidance of Him who
holds the destinies of all nations in the
hollow of his hand; I enter again upon
the duties of this trying position with a
heart filled with gratitudo to you for the
unusually flattering manner in which it
has been bestowed and' closed with the

count of the retirement ol Prov. Governor
Perry from the Executive chair of South

Orr and Lieut. Gov. Porter. These cere

we think is subsequent to the Presidcrl’
dispatch instructing Gov. Perry to con

so, the subsequent relaxation of the Presi

The hour of l^M. naving arrived, it hp-
ing the time appointed for the electioirof
a Quartermaster-General and Xn Adjutsfit
and Inspector Gooeral of tbo titate, the
Senate was invited into tho Hall of
House, for the purpose of hiding saul
election. ^ *
Tbe election of Quartermaster General
being first in order, Mr. James Jarl^ffl,
of Lauderdale, (of tho 9enatoj qjpniiitNQi
Kpgtmenls, with some batteries
lery, and Cavalry commands, which be
longed to tbe Army of Tennessee, togeth
er with transcripts of mutter rolls of a few
Alabama commands, rosters of officers,
and a list of tren^rai officers, reports of
battles, Ac., obtained at Richmond. But,
ax stated, the most of my collections from
those sources was lost in the evacution of
Montgomery.
Further, in addition to tho above, under
a law “for tbo relief of families of deceased
soldi* rs, &c,” approvod Dec. 8th, 1803, I
was agent on the part of the Statu to settle
and adjust curtain claims for tho benefit of
such families, and 1 have preserved tho
books and papers of this Department,
wherein I have the namca of not less than
ten thousand dead, representing nearly
every command from Alabama.
Of course an accurate estimate cannot be
made from such imperfect data of the
number of troops sont into the field from
this State, and their casualties by death or
otherwise; but an approximation to it
might be niado bv considering the number
in tho Army of Northern Virginia in
comparison with tbo tesidue. It will bo
under the mark to assume that tho num
bor of Alabamian* in that army was not
less than thirty thousand (30,000)—exclu
sive of tho 2tiih Alabama Infantry Regi
rnent, which was there for a considerable
time, and suffered severely—with a loss by
death from battle and disease, in connec
tion icith the commands of over nine thou
sand, or a fraction less than one third!
This does not include deaths after resigna
tion, retirement or discharge—and of these
classes, 1 find that about ono-half are eith
er dead or permanently disablod. To in
clude tho deulbs during tho last days of
that army, would mako this estimate fall
far short of the reality.
I am satisfied that I am 6afo in saying
that tho Alubamians in the Army o(
Northern Virginiu were not more than
one-fourth of tho whole'number in the
field from this State; and that, whilst the
ratio of casualty may bo somowh at less for
tno remainder, it is not materially less—
except it may be of killed in battle. Be
sides, what 1 have lost, I have the names
of nearly twenty thousand deud, and Ibis
cannot exceed ono-half of the whole! It
is a mournful record, but honorable to tbe
bravo who sleep in soldiers’ graves, and
alike honorable to the State for whom they
died. 1 assert, with confidence, that Ala
bama sent more troops into tbe service in
proportion to population than any other
State of the South, and that her loss was
heavier than any other, irrespective of
population. I am certain, too, that when
Gen. Lee surrendered his army tho repre
sentation (rotn Alabama, on that field that
day, wus inferior to no other Southern
State in members, aud surely not in gal
lantry. My records illustrate thoso with
other important facts, in the history of
Alabama soldiers.
Tbo pupers bore attached marked "B”
and “C,” exhibit my account with the
Stuto; being abftruct* from the books in
the Auditor’s office. Upon this subject,
though a large balance for expenditure
and labors appears in my favor, which I
expected would be reimbursed to me, I
make no demand, but refer the disposition
of the documents in my possession to the
wisdom and justice of the Executive and
the Legislature.
Very respectfully,
lour obedient servant,

Message from the Provisional Goveiw
nor, enclosing tho following report:
Montgomery, Ala, D c. 4. 1805.^!
To His Excellenty, Lewis E. Parsoner*
Brovisionul Governor of Alabama:
Sir—Under tho act of the Logiol&ture,
approved December 7, 18C3,1 was appoint
ed Superintendent of the Army Rocordi^*l
for tho Slate of Alabama, for thepurpos^ -
es specified in tbe set. *•
In tho discharge of tho duties of thut
office, 1 co lected a large and ii(ferestmg
mass of records, comprising return* from
the greater portion «of the troops in the
field from this Slate; being carofully pro-
nared rolls ot company, regimental and
brigudo organizations, showing tbe name,
and service of men aud hfficers; dcstLs
and othor casualties; names, dales and
reports of battles; personal indRlenU
worthy to be preserved; and very oprn-
pleto histories in full of many regiment*
and special companies. And, upon a plan
adopted in accordance with the directions
of tue law, 1 was in a fair way to speedily
complete tho worka-ontemplatod. The
events, however, of April and May, 1665,
brought it to an abrupt termination in
consequent contusion ; und much e| the
material that 1 bud accumulated, having
been deposited by mu in tbe Sta'.o Capitol
ut Montgomery, was lost or misplaced in
the evacuation of this city at the dale
named. Tlio.-e misning rtcoids p^rlitin
