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 ment.
