From tho Richmond Enquirer.
I Sober Word lo Sober Men!
What is the end designed to be attained
by the spirit of opposition songlit to be a-
wakend against the President and his ad
ministration ? Can such a course promote
the safety or dissipate the dangers which
now hang like a black and menacing cloud
along the whole line of our country’s hori
zon ? Admit his incompetency to bear
in triumph the Ark of the Covenant of out-
freedom amid the stonns of revolution by
wliich we are at present buffeted; what
remedy is to be elicited by a hostility that
perverts his plans and paralyses his efforts
foy the salvation of his country ? He has
been elevated to his present position of
solemn responsibility of difficulty and dan
ger by the loud acclaim of a confiding peo
ple ; and for a term, ere the expuation of
which, in all probability, fate will have
affixed its signet seal to our history as a
nation of freemen or a land of slaves! Is
the opposition now attempted to be in
voked designed to drive him to a betrayal
of that trust by an abondonment of bis
post? Is it believed that bis stern cour
age will cower beneath the rude raspings
of continued rebuke; and that he will
yield the dictates of his own judgment,
and the approval of his own conscience, in
this perilous hour, to the whims and ca
prices of factious clamor ?
Is it supposed he can be deferred from
treading, unappallcd, the straight, but
thorny path, that lies before him by the
threatening censures of a hostile press ?
Is it intended so to unclasp the strong
grasp he now holds upon the affections ot
the people—so to destroy the confidence,
with which his countrymen now repose,
for ultimate redemption, upon his fidelity,
capacity and fearlessness—so to awaken
fears—to create distrust, and to extend
the spirit of opposition, that the voice of
popular indignation will roll up in thun
ders from the masses, demanding his ex
pulsion from the Capitol ? Admit the ef-
iicay of such a result, to remedy or arrest,
the evils alleged to exist, can it be imag
ined, that sucli an end is thus to be ac
complished ? Not only so. Who is so
bold, as dare proclaim, even if -practicable,
that such an object is to be desired-such
a consummation to be wished ? I but
syllable the universal s'entiment of the
country, including his censors, when .1
pronounce—none—no, not one! If such,
then, be not the end iu view, nor the. rem
edy for pretended ills, I again demand,
what good is to result to the holy cause in
which we have all embarked, from the
murimnings, aud complainings', and criti
cisms, which are now beginning to utter
their voices against that distinguished oit-
izen ? Is it to retain his services more
fully to develope his virtues, and to draw-
out the full proportions of his character?
lie has been tried and perfected by the or
deal and suffering, of hjng years of toil
and danger, in the camps and councils ot
his country. Is it to impart more fervent

abandoned the helm ? Is he asleep that
he must needs be aroused from bis slum
bering, to battle with the tempest, which
tosses the bark, entrusted to his pilotage,
and which bears the priceless jewel of his
own and his counti j’s freedom ?
Is it possible the President requires the
spurrings of censure and dissatisfaction to
goad him forward in the discharge of the
momentous functions with which he has
been iuvested ?
Is it true, that Jefferson Davis—the
supposed soldier— patriot and Statesman—
has shown himself unable or unwilling, to
comprehend, to appreciate, and to grapple
with the mighty issue and magniiicent en
terprise of which he is tiie living represent
ative and projector? If so, in the name
of our endangered altars—in behalf of mil
lions of hereditary freemen, threatened
with subjugation—in the name of Liberty,
beleagured in its last citadel- let the fact
be boldly confronted and declared. For
myself, 1 do not believe one word of it ;
nor can I realize that such is the convic
tion pf any impartial and judicious mind,
which has made sober judgment, and not
extravagant expectation, the basis of its
decision ! If the President has not justi
fied the apprehensions of flic enemy, nor
filled the reasonable anticipations of his
country, let it be demonstrated by those
who make the charge from the means and
resources he has had at Ins command.—
When that shall have been done, then judg
ing the future by the past, we may well
desire and demand that the sceptre of
power be entrusted to other control ! —
Then, but not till then, may we organize
an opposition and coerce a change, which
will relieve the paralysis of an administra
tion, the ineffieency of which, is jeopard
izing all that can adorn life or render it de
sirable.
But unless the reformation designed is
so radical as to involve even his resigna
tion, the dark and dangerous sea upon
which we are norv tossed and driven,
should silence mere restlessness and cl is-
putings in regard to his past administra
tion of affairs. Let not the contrary
winds of severance and dissension sweep
the already troubled waters which threat
en to engnlph us. Let union and har
mony, and forbearance and charity, weld
us together around the altar of our coun
try, in the strong claspings of a brother
hood that cannot be broken. The very
beast and reptiles between whom nature
has decreed and irreconcilable antagon
ism, recognize a milennial truce, when
hastening to a place of common safety,
from the girdling tires of the prairie. Let
us profit by tbeir example ; and if reason
ing is but to embroil, and to cause us ‘‘to
fall out by the way*,” let us discard its
guidance and abandon ourselves to the
mere instincts of self-preservation.
The President lays no claim to the di
vine attribute of infalibility. He profes
ses no exemption from the frailties anti in
firmities of our nature, and to assert that
he is without fault in the discharge of the
complicated and stupendous labors which
oppress him, would be to divest him of the
weaknesses of humanity. But where is
the man, within the compass of the Con
federacy ; under whose guidance we have
any reason to believe the standard of our
nationality* would have been higher ad
vanced, or the circumstances which now
surround us, been more auspicious? Where
is the man who can cemmand the confi
dence, so.trustingly reposed in the charac
ter and abilities of the President, by the
great body of his countrymen ? True,
there, may be those modern Phaetons, wbo
wonld assume to rein the fiery course of
the sun, though it wrapt the world in
flames ; miracles of manhood ; these Hea
ven depnted prodigies of our race; wbo
wonld rush in, with bold and unblushing
front, where angels well might tread y
diffidence and timidity*; men whose ,t
idWl,
strous conceptions of their own magnitud
would cause them to ftgrasp without re
morse, atid wear without shame the very
diadent of the Ctrsars.” But among
those whose name and fame might well at
tract the attention of the country, should
the loss of our President befal us, where
is the citizen who would claim the capaci
ty* ; assume the responsibility ; and make
the promise to conduct this government
more faithfully and with more success
than has marked the administration of the
past ? Success and triumph, though the
offspring of accident or ignorance, oft de
termine the hero and Fhe statesman;
whilst the failure of plans predicted on the
profoundest knowledge, and sanctioned
by* the wisest sagacity, have branded with
disgrace and blackened tbeir authors with
wickedness and criminality*.
The block has soaked the gore, and
scaffolds echoed the dying words of the
great and good, of whom the world was not
worthy ; whilst triumphal processions have
welcomed the advance, and crowns and
coronals encircled the brows of corsairs-
and assassins. Washington was called a
coward by his countrymen, and the com
mand sought to be wrested from his migh
ty hand, during the dark days of the revo
lution, when disaster seemed tracking his
bleeding footsteps to the grave of the I?e-
public. .
The selfishness of individual safety, and
the cowardice which quails before disaster,
even in a righteous cause, finds consolation
in complaint, and seeks some object upon
which it may* be expended, careless of
truth and only conscious of calamity.—
Silence would but deeper, dismay, and
cursing may furnish the sole refuge from
treachery.
Such, in my opinion, are the impulses
which impel much of the carpings and
croakings of the ignorant and the timid
against the citizen who presides over the
destiny* of the Confederacy, awakened by
the reverses which have lately fallen upon
our arms ! Let not the calm dignity*, true
patriotism t and justice of the country coun
tenance a crusade, as Impolitic as it is un
generous, and which, harmless to him, is
only* destructive to the vital interests of
the Republic.
If distrusted and arraigned in tlie house
of liis friends, he may* fearlessly appeal for
vindication to the judgment seat of the ty
rant with whom lie contends. The vilest
invective and most odious opprobrium with
which the rage and malice of a baffled foe
could execrate and defame him, have been
hurled against his name and character.
But with all their willingness to insult
and degrade him, they have not thus far
dared to doubt his faithfulness or efficiency
in prosecuting the terrible revolution
which he rides and directs. It has been
reserved for those with whom, and for
whom he has imperilled his all, for whom
he is willing to spend and be spent, to cast
the first stone against the achievements
and vigor of his administration.
But the empty breath, which but sylla
bles his censure, will be dissipated. The
great body of the people, in whose hearts
he is enthroned, will turn an ear, dealer
than the dead adder’s to the ebullitions ot
spite and spleen, or despair, by which it is
sought to distrust and disparage him.
Never until judgment has tied brutish
breasts, and men have lost their reason,
will the people of this Confederacy fail to
honor and appreciate a man whose life has
been nearly* exhausted in the service, and
whose last prayer would be fur the pros
perity of his country. And be the pro
gress of the dread contest in which we are
now involved what it may, I trust lie will
stand, as he has ever stood ; fixed, im
movable, like Atlas—
“Though Sturms and tempest thunder on his
brow,
Aud oceaus breaks its billows at his feet."

In this connection the Knoxville Regis’-
ter has the following.
The large arrivalsof cotton in this place
in the last few months have been the sub
ject of universal comment with those who
have frequented our railroad depots. We
have taken the pains to inquire into the
destination of some of it recently, and
find that a large portion of it is shipped
through to Virginia to the various manufac
tories and mills in that State, a large sup
ply has been received for mills near this
city*; some has been stored away by citi
zens, some of whom are esteemed loyal
and some who are suspected o 4 being other
wise. In one instance we fcuud a large
recent shipment consigned to as rank and
well known u Lincolnite as ever disgraced
Southern soil, residing in a neighboring
county rear one of the points to which the
invading forces have already penetrated
and from whence it might be easily* smug
gled into Abe’s dominions.
That such cases as this latter should be.
investigated by the military* authorities will
scarcely he questioned- The propriety of
a loyal, cititen’s bringing into East Tennes
see for storage more cotton than is need
ed to supply the limited manufacturing
demand of this section is a legitmate sub
ject for public comment and discussion.
Every* man lias a perfect right to invest his
means as he pleases, provided that in pro
moting his own interest he does nothing to
the detriment of the general public weal-
Cotton being one of the least perishable, as
well as the most valuable, commodities of
commerce; under favorable circumstances
may* be the best investment a man can
make; but he must be a very indiscreet
rebel who would think of bringing it into
East Tennessee for storage.
Fall of Newberu.
The Raleigh “Journal” of the 19th in
stant, in speaking of the fall of Newbern,
says:
But on reaching Raleigh we were astound
ed and mortified with the ridiculous ru
mors afloat, and with the evidently mali
cious slanders heaped upon men who are
risking their lives in their country’s cause-,
by a set of lazy loafers, who have neither
the spirit nor the courage of men, but who
hang upon society to retard and annoy it.
It is with a view of correcting «otne of
these rumors and of denouncing these
slanders that we now make the following
statements :
Our troops have neither been all killed
nor captured at Newbern. They were
routed it is true. Forty-five huudred men
could not withstand a body of twenty
thousand well armed and well disciplined
troops, with every appliance they could
desire. But they* rallied as quickly as any
routed body of-soldiers ever did or could.
They are not demoralized in the slightest.
They are again ready to meet the enemy,
and are anxious to do so. It is an abomi
nable falsehood to say they “behaved
badly*.” Nobody of troops ever fought
with greater gallantry.
The losses have been ridiculously ex
aggerated. The loss in killed will not ex
ceed fifty*, we think ; nor will the number j

Perfidy of tbe ,\orth... Ties sage from (be Pres!
dent in Scerct Session of Congress.
We learn that yesterday a message from
the President was sent into Congress in se
cret session, recommending that all our
prisoners who had been put on parole by
the Yankee Government be released from
the obligation of their parole, so as to bear
arms in our struggle for independence.
The recommendation was urged as a re
taliation for the infamous and reckless
breach of good faith on the part of the
Northern government with regard to the
exchange of prisoners, and was accompa
nied by the exposure of this perfidy in a
lengthy correspondence conducted by the
War Department. Wc have been ena
bled to extract tlie points of this interes
ting correspondence.
it appears from the correspondence that
at the time permission was asked by the
Northern Government for Messrs. Fish
and Ames to visit tbeir prisoners within
the jurisdiction of the South, our govern
ment while denying this permission, sought
to improve the opportunity by concerting
a settled plan for the exchange of prison
ers. For the. execution of this purpose
Messrs. Conrad aud Seddou were deputed
by our government as commissioners to
meet those of the Northern government
under a flag of truce at Norfolk.
Subsequently a letter from Gen. Wool
was addressed to Gen. Huger, informing
him that he, Gen. Wool, had full authority
to settle any terms for the exchange of
prisoners, and asking an interview on the
subject. Gen. Ilowell Cobb was then
appointed by our government to mediate
with Gen. Wool, and to settle a permanent
plan for the exchange of prisoners during
the war. £he adjustment was considered
to have been satisfactorially made.
It was agreed that the prisoners of war
in the hands of each government should
be exchanged man for man, the officers
being assimilated as to rank, &c., that our
privateersmen should be exchanged on the
footing of prisoners of war; that any* sur
plus on cither side after these exchanges,
should be released, and that hereafter,
dining the wkoie continuance of the war
prisoners taken on either side should he
paroled.
In carrying out this agreement our gov
ernment has released some three hundred
prisoners above those exchanged by the
North, the balance in the competing num
bers of prisoners in the hands of the two
governments being so much in our favor.
At the time, however, of sending North
tlie hostages we had retained for our pri
vateersmen, General Cobb had reason to
suspect the good faith of the Northern
Government,and telegraphed in time to
intercept the release of a portion of these
hostages (among them Colonel Corcoran)
who were en route, from points further
South than Richmond to go North under
flag of truce at Norfolk. A number of
these hostages however, bad already been
discharged.
It now appears that, in contravention
of tlie s ilemn agreement of the Northern
Government, not one of our privateersmen
have been released, and the Fort Donelson
prisoners instead of being paroled,
have been taken to the interior, where
they are still confined.
As a judgment upon this open and
shameless perfidity of the North, it is pro
posed that our prisoners, who have been
shall be released
captured reach over one hundred, if the ’ paroled by tlie Yankees, si
late reports from Kingston be correct. The from their obligations. 'J here is as little
only* field officer killed or wounded is Ma
jor Carmichael, of the 2G4li regiment,

of the 33d is wounded, should turn out to
be correct, which we do not credit. YVe
incline to the belief that he is captured,
and, we fear a considerable portion of bis
command.
Several company officets said to be kill
ed and woundeJ, but there is no certainty
of it as yet. Several pieces of artillery
were saved, a complete section of Captain
Brent’s battery*, amongst the rest. This
we learn by* a private letter, was brought
away by Lieut. Colonel Burgwyn of the
26th.

Washington, March 7.—The President
to-day remitted to Congress the following
Message :
Fellow ciitzens of the Senate and Rouse
of Representatives • I recommond the adop
tion of a joint resolution by your honora
ble bodies wliich shall be substantially* as
follows :
“Resolved, That the United States
ought to co-operate with any State which
may adopt gradual abolishment of slavery^
giving to such State pecuniary aid to be
used by* such State in its discretion, to
compensate for tLe inconveniences, public
and private, produced by such change of
system.”
If the proposition contained in the reso
lution does not meet the approval of Con
gress and the country, there is the end ;
but if it does command such approval, I
deem it of importance that the fStates and
people immediately interested should be
at once distinctly notified of the fact, so
that they may begin to consider tvhether
to accept or reject it. The Federal Gov
ernment would find its highest interest in
such a measure, as one of the most efficient
means of self-preservation. The leaders
of the existing insurrection entertain the
hope that this Government will be forced
to acknowledge the independence of some
part of the disaffected region, and that
all the slave States North of such paits
will then say the Union for which we
have struggled being already gone, we
now choose to go with the Southern sec
tion.
To deprive them of this hope substan
tially ends the rebellion, and the initiation
of emancipation completely deprives them
of it as to all tlie States initiating it. The
point is not that all the States tolerating
slavery would very* soon, if at all, initiate
emancipation ; but that wbile tlie offer is
equally made to all, the more Northern
shall, by such initiation, make it certain
to the more Southern that, in no event,
will the former ever join the latte: in their
proposed Confederacy. 1 say initiation,
because, in my judgment, gradual and not
suddeu emancipation is better for all. In
the mere financial or pecuniary view, any
member of Congress, with the census ta
bles and treasury reports before him, can
readily see for himself how very soon the
current expenditures of this war wonld
purchase, at fair valuation, all the slaves
in any named State.
Such a proposition on the part of the
general Government sets up no claim of a
right, by Federal authority, to interfere
with slavery within State limits, referring
as it does, the absolute control of the sub
ject in each case to the State and its peo
ple immediately interested. It is propos
ed as a matter of perfectly free choice
with them. In the annual message, last
December, I thought fit to say : The
Union must be preserved, and bence all
indispensable means must be employed. I
said this not bastily, but deliberately.**
War has been made, and continues to be
an indespensable means to this end. A
practical re acknowledgement of the na
tional authority would render the war
unnecessary, and it would at once cease.
If, however, resistance continues, the
war must also continue, and it is impossi
ble to foresee all the incidents which may
attend, and all the ruin which may follow
it. Such as may seem indispensable, or
may obviously promise great efficiency
towards ending the struggle, must and will
come. The proposition now made is an
offer only. 1 hope it may be esteemed no
offence to^isk whether the pecuniary con
sideration tendered would not be of more
value to the States and private persons
concerned, than are the institution and
property in it, in the present aspect of af
fairs. While it is true that the adoption
of the proposed resolution wonld be mere
ly initiatory, and not within itself a prac
tical measure, it is recommended in the
hope that it would soon lead to important
practical results. In full view of great re
sponsibility to my God and to my country,
I earnestly beg the attention of Congress
and the people to the subject.

Uncle Sam as an Overseer on Southern
Plantations.—The bill of Mr. Senator
Foster, turning Uncle Sam into a cotton
planter in South Carolina, has passed the
Senate: ,
The bill provides a Board of Receivers
and Guardians to let the lands for a year
or less for money, or on shares, or culti
vate them for themselves, the lands to be
laid off in lots of from 1,600 to 3,000 acres.
The Board is empowered to purchase
tools, seeds, animals, etc., to the amount
of $10 an acre, and to employ a Superin
tendent, either at a fixed salary of $1,200
a year, or at a compensation not to exceed
$3,000 yearly, contingent upon the success
ef his husbandry. A register is to be
kept of all indigent persons, who came
into the plantation, with a discription of
eacii persons; to be employed at fifty cents

The whole of these presses failed to raise
a good riffle of opposition to him upon the
proposition tore-elcct him for six years.
It is the truth and the people know it, that
in regard to more than half the communi
cations against President Davis, the papers
are not iu possession of facts upon which
to base an intelligent opinion. They
know, too, that even Washington himself
was just as bitterly assailed as ever Davis
a day and properly caretTfor; money to be
advanced to them for clothing and other
necessaries. Hospitals are to be erected
for the sick, and physicians provided and
paid by the Board; a semi-annual report
to be made of the receipts and expendi
tures, and profits, if any, to be placed to
the credit of the Secretary to the Treasury,
who will snpplv the funds necessary, with
a history of the condition of the indigent
people who shall have been under their
care-
The “elephant” of 8,000 or 10,000 pauper
negroes being on their hands—their nat
ural South Carolina protectors having run
away—we have no other alternative than
to turn negro overseers, and work the
negroes as well as we can. But Uncle
Sam is notoriously the poorest sort of a
landlord, and, of couise, a much worse
planter. We have no doubt that, in his
new character of cotton planter, he will
run in debt, heels over head, and that his
“Board of Receivers.” “Guardians,” “Su
perintendents,” etc., will eat him out of
house and home, and come up to the Treas
ury with the heaviest sort of unpaid bills?
