that the design of the I nited State's was to
place the besieging force at ( haiieston be
t ween the simultaneous ti re oi the fleet and t lie
fort. There remained, therefore no alterna
tive but' to direct that the fort should at once
be reduced. This order was executed by
General Beauregard, with the skill and suc
cess which were naturally to be expected from
the well known character of that gallant of
ficer; and although the bombardment lasted
but thirty-three hours, our flag did not wave
over its battered walls until after the appear
ance ot the hostile fleet oil’ Charleston. For- 1
tunatelv not a life was lost on our side, and
we were gratified in being spared the necessi
ty of a useless effusion of blood by the pru
rient caution of the directs who commanded
the fleet, in abstaining from the evidently fu- ,
file effort to enter the harbor for the relief of
Major Anderson. I icier t > the report of the
Secretary of War and the papers which ac
company it for further details of this brilliant
affair.
In this connection I cannot refrain from
a well deserved tribute to the noble State,
the eminent soldierly qualities of whose peo
ple were so conspicuously displayed in the
port of ('haiieston. For months they had
been irritated by the spectacle of a fortress
held within their principal harbor as a standing
menace against their peace and independence.
Built in part with their own money, its custo
dy confided with their own consent to an
agent who held no power over them other ;
than such as they had themselves delegated
for their own benefit, intended to be used ,
by that agent for their own protection against
foreign attack, they saw it held with presis
tent tenacity as a means of offence against I
them bv the very government which they |
had established for their protection. They
had beleagured it for months—felt the entire
power to capture it—yet yielded to the re
quirements of discipline, embed their impa
tience, submitted without complaint to the
unaccustomed hardships, labors and privations
of a protracted siege; and when at length their
patience was rewarded by the signal forattack, !
and success had crowned their steady and j
gallant conduct—even in the very moment of
triumph—they evinced a chivalrous regard
for the feelings < f the brave but unfortunate
officer who bad been compelled to lower his
flag. All manifestations of exultation were;
checked in his presence. Their commanding
general, with their cordial approval and the.
consent of his government, refrained from
imposing any terms that could wound the sen
sibilities of the commander of the fort. He
was permitted to retire with the honors of!
war—to salute his flag, to depart freely with
all his command, and was escorted to the vessel [
in which be embaiked with the highest marks'
of respect from those against whom his guns
had been so recently directed. Not only ;
does every event connected with the siege I
reflect the highest honor on South Carolina,
but the forbearance of her people and of .
this government, from making any harsh use
of a victory obtained under circumstances of!
such peculiar provocation, attest to the fullest ,
extent the absence of purpose beyond secu
ring their own tranquility, and the sincere 1
desire to avoid the calamities of war.
Scarcely had the President of the United
States received intelligence, of the failure of;
the scheme which he bad devised for the re- ■
inforeement of Fort Sumter, when he issued [
the declaration of war against this Confede
racy which h: s prompted me to convoke you. |
In this extraordinary production, that high ;
functionary affects total ignorance of the ex
istence of an independent Government, which,
possessing the entire and enthusiastic devo-{
tion of its people, is exercising its functions I
without question over seven sovereign States
—over more than five millions of people—
and over a territory whose area exceeds half
a million of square miles. He terms sover
eign States “combinations too powciful to be '
suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial
proceedings, or by the powers vested in the
marshals by law.’’ He calls for an army of
seventy-five thousand men to act as a />os
sc comitatus in aid of the process of justice
in States where no courts exist whose man
dates and decrees arc not cheerfully obeyed
and icspected by a willing people. He
avows that “the first service to be assigned
to the forces called out,” will be, not to exe
cute the process of courts, but to capture
fortsand strong-holds situated within the ad
mitted limits of this Confederacy, and garri
soned by its troops, ami declares that “this
effort” is intended “to maintain the perpetui
ty of popular government.” He concludes
by commanding “the persons composing the.'
combinations aforesaid,” to wit: the five mil-j
lions of of inhabitants of these States, “to re
tire peacibly to their respective abodes with
in twenty days.”
Apparently contradictory as arc the. terms j
of this document, one point was unmistakably |
evident. The president of the United States I
called for an army of seventy-five thousand .
men, whose fust service was to be to capture,
our forts. It was a plain declaration of war
which I was not at liberty to disregard, be- I
cause of my knowledge that under the Con
stitution of the United States the President
was usurping a power granted exclusively !
to the Congress. He is the sole organ of com
munication between that country and foreign
powers. The law of nations did not permit
me to question the authority of the Execii-I
five of a foreign nation to declare war against I
this Confederacy. Allhough I might have
refrained from taking active measures for our!
defence, if the States of the Union had all im-I
itated the action of Virginia, North Carolina, ’
Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mis- ;
souri, by denouncing the call for troops as an !
unconstitutional usurpation of power to which [
they refused to respond I was not at liberty |
to disregard the fact that many of the States}
seemed quite content to submit to the exer
cise of the power assumed by the president;
of the United States, and were actively en-j
gaged in levying troops to be used for the
purpose indicated in the pioclamation.
Deprived of the aid of Congress at the
moment, 1 was under the necessity of confi-;
uing my action to a call on the States for vol
unteers for the common defence, in accord
ance with the authority you had confided to me I
before your adjournment. 1 deemed it pro
per farther to lwHU e my proclamation inviting
applications from pe lß ons disposed to aid our
defence m private armed vessel on the high
seas, to the end that preparations might be
made for the issue of the letters of marqm*
and reprisal, which you alone, under the
Constitution, have power to grant I enter
taind no doubt you will concur with-me in
the opinion that in the absence of a fleet
of public vessels, it will be eminently ex
pedient to supply their place by private'
armed vessels, so happily styled l>y the
publicists of the United' States “the mi-''
litia of the sea,” and so often and justly
relied on by them ns an efficient and admi
rable. instrument of defensive warfare. I
earnestly recommend the immediate passage
of a law authorizing me to accept the numer
ous proposals already received.
I cannot close this review of the acts of
the government of the, United States with
out referring to a proclamation issued by their
President under date of the l!»th inst., in
which, alter declaring that an insurcction has
broken out in this Confederacy against the.
government of the United States, he announ
ces a blockade of all the ports of these. States,
and threatens to punish as piiates all persons
who shall molest any vessel of the. United
States under the letters of marque issued by
this Gouernment. Notwithstanding the au
thenticity of this proclamation, you will con
cur with me that it is hard to believe it c mid
have emanated from a president of the United
States.— Its announcement of a mere paper
blockade is so manifestly a violation of the
laws of nations, that it would seem in
credible that it could have, been issued by au
thority; but conceoding this to be the ease,
so tar as the Executive is concerned, it will
be difficult to satisfy the peopleof these Slates
that their late confederates will sanction its
declarations, will determine to ignore the u
sages of civilized nations, and will inaugurate
a war of extermination on both sides, by treat,
ing as pirates, open enemies acting under
the authority of commissions issed by an or
ganized government. If such proclamation
was issued, it could only have been publish
ed under the sudden influence of passion, and
we may rest assured mankind will be spared
| the horrors of the conflict it seems to invite.
For the details of the administration of the
different departments, 1 refer to the reports
of the Secretaries which accompany this mes
sage.
The State■ department has furnished the
necessary instructions for three commissioners
who have just been sent to England. France,
Russia and Belgium, since your adjournment,
; to ask our recognition as a member of nations,
| and to make with each of those powers trea
ties of amity and commerce. Further steps
will be taken to enter into like negociations
with the other European powers, in pursu
ance. of your resolutions passed at the last
: session. Sufficient time has not yet elapsed
since the departure of these commissioners
for the receipt of any intelligence, from them.
As 1 deem it desirable that commissioners or
other diplomatic agents should also be sent
at an early period to the independent
[American powers south of our Confederacy,
with all of whom it is our interest and ear
. nest wish to maintain the most cordial and
friendly relations, 1 suggest the expediency
jof making the necessary appropriations for
[ that purpose.
Having been officially notified by the pnb
' lie authorities of the State of Virginia that
! she had withdrawn from the Union, and de
' sired to maintain the closest political relations
! with us which it is possible at this time to es
tablish, I commissioned the Hon. Alexander
11. Stephens, Vice President of the Confe-
I derate States, to represent this Government
'at Richmond. I am happy to inform you
that he has concluded a convention with the
j State of Virginia, by which that honor.id
[ Commonwealth, so long and justly distin
j guished among her sister States, and so deal
j to the hearts of thousands of her children in
; the. Confederate States, has united her power
j and her fortunes with ours, and become one
l of us. This convention, together with the or
dinance of Virginia adopting the provisional
i constitution of the Confederacy, will be laid
before you for your Constitutional action. 1
have satisfactory assurances from other of our
late Confederates that they are on the point
of adopting similar measures, and I cannot
doubt that ere you shall have been many
weeks in session, the whplo of the slave, hold
ing States of the late. Union, will respond to
the call of honor and affection, and by uni
ting their fortunes with ours, promote our
common interests and secure our common
safety.
In the Treasury Department, regulations
have, been devised and put into execution for
carrying out the policy indicated in your le
gislation on the subject of the navigation of
the Mississippi river, as well as for the col
lection of revenue on the frontier. Free
transit has been secured for vessels and mer
chandize passing through the Confederate
States, and delay and inconvenience have
been avoided as far as possible in organizing
the revenue service for the various railways
entering into our territory. As fast as ex
perience shall indicate the possibility of im
provement in these regulations, no effort will
be spared to free commerce from all unneces
■ sary embarrassment and obstruction.
Under your act authorizing a loan, propo
-1 sals were issued inviting subscriptions for
five millions of dollars, and the call was an
i swered by the prompt subscription of more
; than eight millions by our own citizens, and
not a single bid was made under par. The
! rapid development of the purpose of the
President of the United States to invade our
. soil, capture our forts, blockade our ports,
and wage war against us, induced me to di
j reel that the entire subscription should be ac
cepted. It will now become necessary to
raise means to a much larger amount to de
fray the expenses of maintaining our inde
i pendence and repelling invasion. I invite
your special attention to this subject; and the
financial condition of the government, with
! the suggestion of ways and means for the
' supply of the Treasury, will be presented to
you in a separate communication.
To the Department of Justice you have
confided not only the organization and super
vision of all matters connected with the
[courts of justice, but also those connected
with patents and with the bureau of public
i pi inting.
Since your adjournment all the courts, with
the exception of those of Mississippi and
Texas, have been organized by the appoint
ment of Marshals and District Attorneys,
and are now prepared for the exercise of
their functions.
In the two States just named, the gentle
men confirmed as judges declined to accept
the appointmei t, and no nominations have
yet been made to fill the vacancies. I refer
you to the report of the Attorney General,
and concur in his recommendation for imme
diate legislation, especially on the subject of
patent rights. Early provisions should be
made to secure to the subjects of foreign na
tions the full enjoyment of their property in
valuable inventions, and to extend to our '
own citizens protection, not only for their
own inventions, but for such as may have '
been assigned to them, or may hereafter be
assigned by persons not alien enemies.
1 ho patent office business is much more
extensive and important than had been an
ticipated. The applications for patents, al
though confined under the law exclusively to
citizens of our Confederacy, already average,
seventy per month, showing the necessity for
the prompt organization of a bureau of pa
tents.
1 he. Secietary of War, in his report, and
accompanying documents, conveys full infor
mation concerning the forces, regular, volun
teer and provisional, raised ami called for un
der the several acts of Congress, their or
ganization and distribution. Also, an ac
count <d the expenditures already made, and
the future estimates for the fiscal year end
ing 18th February, 1862, rendered necessary
by recent, ('vents. 1 refer to his report also
for a full history of the, occurrences in Char
leston harbor, prior to and including the bom
bardment .and reduction of Fort Sumter, and
of the. means subsequently taken for common
defence, on receiving intelligence of the de
claration of war against us made by the Pre
sident of the United States. There arc now
in the field at Charleston, Pensacola, Fort
Morgan, Jackson, St. Philip and Pulaski,
nineteen thousand men, and sixteen thousand
! are now cn route for Virginia. It is proposed
! to organize and hold in readiness for instant
1 action, in view of the present exigencies of
' the country, an army of one hundred thou
sand men. If further force should be need
[ ed, the. wisdom and patriotism of Congress
will be confidently appealed to for authority
.to call into the field additional numbers of
[ our noble spirited volunteers, who are con
stantly tendering service far in excess of
our wants.
The operations of the Navy Department
have been necessarily restricted by the fact
that sufficient time has not yet elapsed for
the purchase or construction of more than a
limited number of vessels adapted to the
public service. Two vessels purchased have
been named the “Sumter” and “Machine,”
and are now being prepared for sea at New
Orleans with all possible dispatch. Contracts
have also been made at that city with two
different establishments for the casting of ord
nance, cannon, shot with the view
to encourage the manufacture of these ar
ticles so indispensable for our defence, at as
many points within our territory as possible.
I call your attention to the recommenda
tion of the Secretary for the establishment
of a magazine and laboratory for preparation
of ordnance stores, and the necessary appro
priation for that purpose. Hitherto such
stores have usually been prepared at the navy
yards, and no appropriation was made at
your last session for this object.
The Secretary also calls attention to the
fact that no provision has been made for the
payment of invalid pensions to oar own cit -
zens. Many of these persons are advanced
in life, they have no means of support, and
by the secession of these States, have been
deprived of their claim against the govern
ment of the United States. I recommend
the appropriation of the sum necessary to
pay these pensioners, as well as those of the
army, whose claims can scarcely exceed
twenty thousand dollars per annum.
The Postmaster Genera! has already suc
ceeded in Organizing his department to such
an extent as to be in readiness to assume tin'
direction of our postal affairs, on the occur
rence of the. contingency contemplated ly
the Act of the 15th March, 1861, or even
sooner, if desired by Congress. The various
books and circulars have been prepared, and
measures taken to secure supplies of blanks,
postage stamps, stamped envelopes, mail bags,
locks, keys, etc. He, presents a detailed
classification and arrangement of his clerical
force, and asks for its increase. An auditor
of the treasury for this department is neces
sary, and a plan is submitted for the organiza
tion of his bureau. The great number and
magnitude of the accounts of this depart
ment, require an increase of the, clerical force
in the, accounting branch in the treasury.—
The revenues of this department arc collect
ed and disbursed in modes peculiar to itself,
and require, a special bureau to secure a pro
per accountability in the administration of its
finances.
I call your attention to the additional le
gislation required for this department; to the
recommendation for changes in the law fix
ing the rates of postage on newspapers, and
sealed packages of certain kinds, and special
ly to the recommendation of the Secretary,
in which I concur, that you provide at once
for the assumption by him of the control of
our entire postal service.
In the military organization of the States,
provision is made ‘jfor Brigadier and Major
General, but in the, army of the Confederate,
States the highest grade is that of brigadier
general. Hence, it will no doubt, sometimes
occur that where troops of the Confederacy
do duty with the militia, the general selected
for the, command and possessed of the views
and purposes of this government, will be su
perseded by an officer of the malitia not
having the same advantages. To avoid this
contingency in the least objectionable man
ner, 1 recommend that additional rank be
given to the General of the Confederate army,
and concurring in the policy of having but
one grade of generals in the army of the
Confederacy, I recommend that the law of
its organization be amended, so that the
grade be that of general.
To securea thorough military education it
is deemed essential that officers should enter
upon the study of their profession at an early
period of life, and have, elementary instruc
tion in a military school. Until such school
shall be established, it is recommended that
cadets be appointed and attached to compa
nies until they shall have attained the age
and have acquired the knowledge to fit them
for the duties of lieutenants.
I also call your attention to an omission in
the law organizing the army, in relation to
military chaplains, and recommend that pro
vision be made for their appointment.
In conclusion, I congratulate you on the
fact, that in every portion of our country,
there has been exhibited the most patriotic
devotion to our common cause. Transporta.,
tion companies have freely tendered the. use
of their lines for troops and supplies. The
presidents of the rail roads in fne Confedera
cy, in company with mher States that we
hope soon to grrn-i as sisters, a-sembled in
convention m this city, and not only reduced I
largely the rates heretofore demanded for;
mail service, and conveyance of troops and !
munitions, but voluntarily proffered to receive
their compensation at these reduced rates in
the bonds of the Confederacy, for the pur-j
pose of leaving all the resources of the. go
vernment at its disposal for the common de
fence.
Requisitions for troops have been met with
such alacrity, that the numbers tendering.
their services, have, in every instance, greatly
cxceedril the demand. Men of the highest
oflieial and social position, arc serving as vol
unteers in the ranks. The. gravity of age
and tin*, zeal of youth, rival each other in the
desire to he foremost for the public de
fence; and though at no other point than the;
one heretofore noticed, have thoy been sti inula- j
ted by the excitement incident to actual e.n j
gagoment and the hope of distinction for in-|
dividual achievement, they have bore wluit, |
for new troops, is the most severe ordeal, pa- 1
| tient toil ami constant vigil, and all the ex
posure and discomfort of active service, with
a resolution ami fortitude such as to com-1
maud approbation and justify the highest ex
pectation of their conduct when active valor
shall be required in place of steady endu
rance.
A people thus united and resolved cannot
' shrink from any sacrifice which they may be
called on to make, nor can there be a reason
able doubt of their final success, however
long and severe may be the test of their de
termination to maintain their birthright of
freedom and equality, as a trust which it is
their first duty to transmit, undiminished, to
their posterity.
A bounteous Providence cheers us with the
promise of abundant crops. The fields of
grain, which will within a few weeks be ready
' for the sickle, give assurance of the amplest
I supply of food for man; whilst the corn, cot
! ton and other staple productions of our soil
afford abundant proof that up to this period,
the season has been propitious.
We feel that our cause is just and holy; we
protest solemnly in the face of mankind that
we desire peace at any sacrifice, save that of
honor and independence; we seek no con
quest, no aggrandisement, no concession of
any kind from the States with which we were
lately confederated; all we ask is to be let
alone; that those who never held power over
us, shall not now attempt our subjugation by
arms. This we will, this we must resist, to
the direst extremity. The moment that this
; pretension is abandoned, the sword will be
I dropped from our grasp, and we shall be ready
to enter into treaties of amity and commerce,
I that cannot but be mutually beneficial. So
long as this pretension is maintained, with a I
a firm reliance on that Divine Power which
covers with its protection the just cause, we
will continue to struggle for our inherent right |
to freedom, independence and self-govern
