The clescription of the fight with Osman Digna's Arabs, as it comes through British sources, reads remarkably like John Phoenix's celebrated encounter, in which he carefully inserted his nose between his adversary's teeth, and falling to the ground, bore his enemy with him, holding him in close embrace.

To the end General Grant meets the enemy with great sagacity.

All of the general's great reputation has been made by his ability to thwart his foes. He may jet live to "a ripe old age."

A dispatch from Arkansas city says: "Information has just come to this point that the remaining members of the Nez Perces Indian tribe, with the noted Indian Chief Joseph at their head, are to be immediately transferred from their present reservation in Indian territory, where they are dying by the score from broken hearts, to their reservation in Idaho." In this is given in brief the story of the most striking instance of the inhuman administration of the Bo-called "Indian peace policy" that has- occurred in all the many dealings with the wards of the nation. The Nez Perces were a tribe of Idaho Indians who had, while living as isolated as the Zunis, acquired many of the customs of civilization and had become good neighbors to those white people who were gaining a living from'the fertile soil that lay adjacent to the reservation set apart for the tribe. But the white man wanted the land of the Indians and encroached upon it. An invader was killed and a war begun. The Nez Perces gave General Howard and his troops a chase across £the mountains and were finally captured by General Miles. They were taken to the Indian Territory, the Botany Bay of the United States, and being acclimated to Idaho, the warmer climate of the Indian Territory brought malarial diseases to a people whose conduct had always been honorable and fair. They were the injured parties but were treated as a malicious enemy.

Mr. Secretary Manning is quickly confirmingthe opinion-formed of his fitness for the treasury portfolio, or for any place of trust in fact. The appointment of the brawler and ward-striker Higgins as appointment clerk of the treasury was condemned by all who knew the man and by those who still retained any belief in the president's pretentions for a genuine civil service reform. The unworthiness of the man has not been disputed. We are informed that his appointment^ was iriegular that he was given a place on the "fraud roll," whose curtailment was much heralded as one of Manning's reform measures, and that under the law he has no right to serve as appointment clerk. This fact, it is stated, has been made known to Presi dent Cleveland, who expressed a desire to see the civil service law carried out. Of course he does but how can he cany it out? That is the question,He is brought into conflict. wj*h-*Bi8 personal friend, ill he rebuke him^ jftici revoke his partisan act? •if so, will Manning plead that Senator Gorman in turn imposed upon him and betrayed him into making the inexcusable appointment? We don't be lieve in this thing of shifting responsibility as a general thing, but if Gorman is to be made the scapegoat, the blame will rest upon proper shoulders. Gorman is a typical democratic manager, and'was the boss of the national committee. If he is the criminal, then we have the prediction verified. The prophecy was that the same old democratic party would be in power if Cleveland was elected, no matter how much faith was put in his "business principles" or in his "strong character." ..

FEEEDOM OF WORSHIP.

Three bills relating to the freedom of worship in public institutions, aided by the state, are now before the New York senate and are attracting notice, especially from religious journals.

The leading biH provides, first, that religious services shall be held on Sundays second, that priests or ministers shall be allowed to officiate twice a week on week days third, that managers of institutions shall be allowed to give proper remuneration for religions services if they think it expedient to do ao.

The supporters of this bill claim that it secures the privilege, as well as perfect freedom of worship to all denominations the objectors maintain that it insidiously provides for sectarians and is covertly designed to subsidize certain ones, particularly Catholics.

The institutions of New York are so extensive as well as expensive that special privileges connected with them are valuable, and many of them have been so largely controlled by the Catholic chuich that this question of freedom of worship as far as it affects the payment of money giving exclusive rights to one sect, has been a burning one for many years. The most enlightened, and therefore the most judicious, spirit of this people will object to legislative recognition of any sect, Protestant or Catholic, and in this instance, in New York, would object to favoring a certain sect under the specious pretext of legislating for all, since under the liberty apparently granted to all one church proposes to step in and secure what it long has worked for. The permission to pay for religious services will allow the officers of an institution te subsidize the church they favor and to withhold payment from all others. In New York this will inure largely to the benefit of the Catholic church, but it "would be as objectionable if it were any other. Examination of the points of the bill given above show them to appear equally favorable to all, but if any one church wished to secure a subsidy in institutions which it controlled, what better method could it purthan this? The three propesi* tions are advanced: First, it is right to have worship on Sunday second, it is right to allow clergymen to visit institutions twice a week for necessary ministrations third, it is right to pay clergymen for their services. Three such simple provisions ought to be voted for, it would seem, but if tliev were urged by a church that had the inside of the principal institutions the result really would be special legislation for that church. Such a dilemma is an argument against legislative bodies meddling with questions of religion and mor»ls about which conscientious differences exist—and especially in all matters which finally depend upon the mental attitudeof the people themselves, or which people have aright to decide for themselves, such as the support of a peculiar religion, for instance. Probably no body is more incapable of grkppling with questions relating to religion and temperance than an ordinary legislature. When it comes to voting for an extra session or balancing the political results of a vote, it shows considerable acumen. To allow a bill relating to freedom of worship to depend upon its effect in politics, is to trample sacred things in the mire. When a religious body appeals to a legislature or congress for legislation, it must be because the more sordid or earthly impulses have overcome the faith sod religion of the good christians, or be-

iaith, the better for the sect benefitted as well as the others. The failure of the New York government to provide for religious services and payment for the same will not debar the institutions from christian ministration. It is the mission of the church to preach wherever it can find the field. The Catholic church, the Methodist and others never fail to go where there is need, money or no money. Instead of churchmen allowing politicians to work for them the wonder is they do not fear to have the sacred ark touched by the hands of political Uzzahs.

A few days since there appeared in the Express a local article regarding the baptismal services conducted at the Baptist church the Sunday evening previous, The account waa a comparison of the manner of performing the services with that of former times, the contrast being between the conveniences of the present day with times past. There waa no intention of saying anything offensive to the members of that denomination which believes in immersion. Bnt the words of the article have been so construed. This fact is all sufficient to elicit an ample apology .'rom the Express. This newspaper is determined that no reasonable man shall hare cause to find fault with it about anything that treats of religious matters. It will apologize in every instance where such just complaint can be made, and now does so in this case, yielding allthere may be in the claim that no offense was intended or in the plea that no offense was really given. Objection has been made to thd article. That is sufficient. The Express is not only willing but anxious to remove the grievance.

VOICE OP THE PEOPIjE.

That Problem.

To the Editor of the Express. Snt: I see by the Express of the 19th inst. a problem on a land question, wherein A and agree to buy 100 acres of land for $100. A agrees to pay at the rate of $1.25-per acre for his portion. agrees to pay at the rate of 75 cents for his portion, and each of them agree to put in $50 each. What is each man's share of the 100 acres is A's share @$1.25 would equal 40 acres, B's share at 75 cents would equal 66% acres. Now as thore is 6% acres in excess of the 100 acres (so purchased) I want to find out the true proportion. Let 106% acres (wrong) equal 100 (right) what will 40 and 66% respectively equal? Answer. A's share will be 37 acres. B's share will be 62% aores. Total 100 aores. STUDENT.

A and agree to buy 100 acres of land for $1.25. A agreed to pay at the rate of $1.25 per acre. agreed to pay 75 cents per aore. A and agree to pay $50 each. How much is each man's portion of the hundred acres

Answer—A's portion, 87.5 acres B's portion, 62.5 acres. X, BBAZTL, Ind. To the Editor of the Express.

SiB: That problem is as easy as seeing stars at a skating rink. Take 25 cents from every dollar of the $50 and it will leave him $87.50 that is the number of acres A buys—87% acres —add 25 cents for every dollar of B's boodle and it gives him 62%. That is the number of acres buys.

Another way: Take A's $1.25 and B's 75 cents, or what they pay for one acre, and divide it into shares of 25 cents each, whioh will make eight shares. A will have five-eighths or five shares. will have threeeighths or three shares. A pays 50 cents more per acre than does. It therefore stands to reason that can buy 25 acres more than A.

Take 100 aores and divide it by the 8 shares. The answer will be $12.50. Multiply $12.50 by 5 for A's shares und it will give the number that buys, 62% aores. Multiply $12.50 by 8, the number of B's shares, and it will give the number of &'s acres, 87% acres.

Mr. Blaine.

Washington Correspondence New York World. I saw Mr. Blaine two days ago in the workroom of his priyate house. He is hard at work at his book and does not expect to have it finished much before next summer. He is taking greater care in writing the second volume than he did with the first. He is writing the great bulk of it with his own hands and uses a secretary but little. He says that he can employ dictation to advantage only in the narrative portions of the book. He isrin better health this winter than last. For a time his family friends feared that the strain of the campaign and the effect of his defeat might seriously im pair his physical health. Such h's. not been the result. He tafcJ long walks now every day. A1 though his hair and beard are nearly snowy-white, his complexion has a firmer, healthier look in it than I have seen it for the last ten years. I asked him his opinion of'Mr. Cleveland's new cabi net and the policy of his administration so far as it has been developed. He excused himself from making any comment or criticism. He said that he did not think it would be in very good taste upon his part to say anything upon the subject All of the published paragraphs about his giving opinions upon the subject, he said, were pure fabrications. He had not been interviewed upon the subject of politics this winter and did not intend to be. He accepted the issue of the campaign and had dismissed everything from his mind except his daily work. I called again upon him the evening that he visited the White House to ask nim about his interview. While he declined to say much of anything about it, it was easy to see that he was pleased with his call and had been agreeably impressed with his opponent Mr. Cleveland himself has since expressed gratification at the call. The visit of 9ie Blaine family to the White House Saturday indicates that there will oe no social war made upon this administration. This will eliminate from Washington society all warring elements and restore its former harmonious character,

Gov. Magrath Satisfied with the Replies of Govs. Brown and Vance.

STATE OF S.,CABOLTNA, EXECCNVS DEPARTMENT, COLUMBIA, January 26,1865.

GOVBRNOB: I received, at the hands of Col. Trescott, your reply to the communication which I instructed him to present to you. You concurrence and co-opera-tion, so cordially signified, with that also of Gov. Vance, confirms me in the opinion that the good we propose to accomplish can and must be assured to us as the consequence of our united action. That it may be made more effectual, I am preparing communications to the governors of Alabama, Mississippi and Florida. The endorsee ment by you and Governor Vance of thai proposition I have submitted will, I think, beyond a question secure the concurrence and co-operation of (he executives of*the states. And with the executives of the states concurring in opinion and united in action, I have no doubt we will obtain for our states the securities to which they are entitled, and at the same time give to the common cause an impetus and vigor which for some time past it has lacked.

Without waiting the response which I anticipate from the governors to whom I have referred, I will prepare and send for examination by yo«-«na Governor Vance such a paper as will, in my opinion, properly present all that wo desire to have done.

I am well satisfied that without radical reforms in the administration of the war power of government not only will great and serious disadvantages continue to be developed and increased, but with these must a^ise additional obstacles to the deliverance we seek from the public enemy.

The ground upon which these states rested their right to secede froui the government of the United States was so clear that the prosecution of a war for their subjection has always appeared to me as a proposition too monstrous for a long period to be entertained by those who professed it. But the expectations of a returning sense of reason and of truth have been so long rffelayed, that, while the conviction is now developing itself that defeat is ruin to us, even now and up to this time, it does not in all quarters produce that intensified earnestness which it should exhibit

There has been a belief that there would be no war, succeeded by a hope that there would be a short war succeeded by the fallacious expectation of intervention and recognition and it is only in those places where the torch and sword of the enemy fired the homes and smote the persons of our people that the truth has been manifest to them, and hatred of the foe and devotion to their own cause have given them the purpose to suffer all ancUflkdo all sooner than submit.

My own observation has long since brought to me the saddening conviction that, however honest it may be, still the policy of the government was most unwise. Its appointments in many, if not all, of its measures, have been in too many cases attempted in a manner which excited the apprehension, and perhaps the oppsition, of those whose zeal, under the circumstances, could have been quickened into hearty sndeffectivecooperation. It is thus that, the selfish purposes of those who do but represent a small portion of the people of these confederate states are supported by the action of a large number who have no sympathy with such pur poses, but whose conduct, whether lukewarm or in opposition, contributes to motives which they deprecate and despise.

We have strayed very far from the great landmarks which we established when this revolution was commenced. I do not believe, however, that our depart^ ure has been so great but that, with an honest and earest purpose, we can regain what has been lost and repair what has been thrown down. -I believe that the efforts with which we will now pro ceed to restore the constitution of theconfederation, and with i# the dignity and efficiency of the state governments, will be successful. And as firmly do I believe that with these we will have secured the great means of deliverance for which all are now so anxious. I hold this proposition to be indisputable. The states, which, with their organized governments, created this resolution are and must be the natural and necessary, and, as I believe, the only source of the power with which it can be carried to a successful issue. With great respect, your obedient servant,

A. G. MAGBATH.

Robert E Lee on the Situation*

HEADQUAKTEBS. ABMY NORTHEBN VIBGKSIA, January 27,1865. His Excellency, A. (f. Magrath, (Jovernorof

South Carolina, Columbia, SIB: I received to-day your letter of the 16th inst, and regret exceedingly to learn the present condition of affairs in the South- I infer from your letter that you consider me able to send an army to arrest the morch of Gen. Sherman. If such was the case I should not have waited for your application, for I lament as much as you do, his past success, and see the injury that may result from his further progress. I have no troops except those within this department, within which my operations are confined. According to your statement of Gen. Sherman's force, it would require this whole army to oppose him. It is now confronted by General Grant with a far superior army. If it was transferred to South Carolina, I do not believe General Grant would remain idle on the James river. It would be as easy for him to move his army south as for General Sherman to advance north. You can judge whether the condition of affairs would be benefitted by a concentration of the two large Federal armies in South Carolina with the rest of the Confederacy stripped of defence. But should Charleston fall into the hands of the enemy, as. grievous as would be the blow and as painful the resultr I cannot, concur in the opinion of your excellency that our cause would necessarily be lost. Should our whole coast fall in the possession of our enemies,' with our people true, firm, and united, the war could be continued and our purpose accomplished. As long as our armies are unsubdued and sustained the confederacy is safe. I- therefore, think it bad policy to shut our troops within intrenchments, where they can be besieged with superior forces, and prefer operating in the field. I recommend this course in South Carolina, and advise that every effort be made to prevent Gen. Sherman reaching Charleston by contesting his advance. The last returns made by Gen. Hardee of his force which I have seen gave his entire strength 20,500 of all arms. With 5,000 South Carolina militia which he expected, and 1,500 Georgia troope under Gen. G. W. Smith, he would have 27,000. This is exclusive of Gen. Conner's brigade and Butler's division sent from this army, which ought to swell his force to 33,000. But I think it might be still further increased by a general turn out of the men in Georgia ana South Carolina, and that Sherman csnld be resisted until Gen. Beauregard could arrive with reinforcements from the west I see no cause for depression or despondency, but abundant reason for renewed exertion and unyielding resistance. With great respect, your excellency's obedient servant

JEFFERSON DAVIS.

William Poroher Xiles on the SituationThe condition of public matters iB extremely critical. If has been anxiously discussed here (Richmond, Va.), I have reason to know, whether it is possible for General Lee to send South Carolina the reinforcements asked for by Governor Magrath. (He urges that 16,000 men be sent) General Lee says that to withdraw such a force from his extended and very weak lines—weak both in character and from the paucity of men behind them—would be to give up Richmond to Grant whenever he might make a serious effort to take it.

On the other hand, the governor contends with great force that the loss of Charleston (and with it the loss of the railroad communications south) necessarily involves the'starving of Lee's army or its withdrawal' from Virginia. It is a. very perplexing problem. The fall of Richmond is the loss of Virginia, and a moral" loss, and a loss of prestige absolutely incalculable. But to cling around Richmond until the army has consumed the supplies which it may draw from North Carolina, and which cannot last very long, say two months, and then te retire further south, after Charleston and Wilmington have both been occupied by the enemy, and our ports closed upon which we are dependent for various things vitally essential—lead and saltpetre for example, not to speak of stores, cloth, and meal—seems to me a fatally feeble policy, nerveless .and purposeless.

I contend, and will urge upon the president, whom the delegation wait upon in a body to-morrow, that our only hope is to take advantage of the season and the condition of the roads aroufad Richmond, over which artillery and" trains cannot move at present, and suddenly send down from the army a force large enough to defeat Sherman. Let Richmond run the risk of an attack from Grant

When Sherman is crushed, concentrate again about Richmond in time to oppose the united forces of Grant and Thomas (for the latter is probably on his way here). But to remain here supinely in winter quarters until the army has eaten its last pound of bread and then to fall back, with Grant pursuing and Sherman, flushed with easy success, advancing to meet us, appears to me the most fatal error it is possible to commit. God grant that wise counsels will appear. The future lies very black before us. I have great faith in Lee, but I fear he is about to make an irreparable mistake. Refusing temporarily to relax his hold on Richmond for the sake of striking a vigorous blow in its defefense, he may yet have the mortification of seeing it slip involuntarily from his nerveless grasp.

Gov, Magrath Sounds Gov. Watts, of Alabama.

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. January 30, 1865, MY DEAR SIB: The present condition of our affairs, the inarch of conquest which Gen. Sherman has made through Georgia, the calamitous termination of Gen. Hood's campaign, the threatened invasion of South Carolina, the attempted control of the communications between these st&tes and Virginia, accomplishing, if successful, sore disaster to the forces unr der Gen. Lee, have deeply impressed me with the necessity for the most thorough and co-operative actiotj, and the most in timate intercourse between the states of the confederation, through their state governments, and especially between those states which have been known as the cotion states, in which the separation from the government of the United States was first accomplished, and where the contest inaugurated by them will probably be decided by them and won, as we hope, for all the states which are united in our confederation.

365.

Under such convictions, I have addressed, very recently, letters to Gov. Brown, of Georgia, and Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, urging upon them union of what was left of our resources, and which were not riceived by the govern ment of the Confederate States, so that in that union of such resources all might afford some aid to each, which might be effectual for most purposes of defense, except when danger was apprehended from the armies of the enemy.

There are other matters which intimately affect the public welfare, and re quire for their proper management the common counsels, and, if practicable, a united course of conduct on the part of those who represent the State governments in these states.

For my own part, recognizing, in the revolutions of these states, the great fundamental truth that the states were sovereign, and that this great fundamental truth was intended to be asserted and exposed in a manner too plain again to be mistaken. I have regretted that, in so many cases, influence and authority which the state governmentscould have exercised were not caUed into activity. I have felt for some time, and now do more strongly than ever, that the states are the proper sources of that strength which must be given to the struggle in which we are engaged, and the governmente of those states the best agencies by which the resources of these states can be developed.

I have felt this practically in a manner which ytisfies me that the longer the delay which is allowed to take in energizing our state government as the efficient means of developing state resources, the greater will be the inconvenience—probabily, I may add, the mischiefs—which will result.

With the threated invasion of South Carolina I have been obliged to press on the president the absolute need of aid, but, with the numerous and embarrassing calls upon him, the suggestion ral ana proper that I shoul the governor of Georgia.

was nat-

Sould call upon

But the governoi of Georgia had recently been forced to see his own state invaded. The resourcts, limited as they were, of this state, and tot preared for such an emergency, could not at that time be carried to the succor 1 Georgia. When I say to you that whatever aid it can give to its sister states, from these resources, which are within its own control, that aid it will give, and in so doing discharge its duty and secure its own gratification.

I have therefore proposed to the governors of the states to which 1 have referral to institute among and between those states frequent and free interchange of communications in relation to their means and their necessities. Closely, and as I hope indissolubly united, now and hereafter, in all measures of policy and policy, what better service can we render than in mutually assisting each other, whether it be in the defence of our territories or in the development of. our resources?

This association, so to speak, wonld be of great advantage, I think, in the influence which would be given by the state governments to the measures required for the reformation of many of the abuses which have crept into the administrative offices of the common government.

I deem it necessary now again, and for the ss&ol illustration, to refer to two— impressment and desertion.

Had the state governments of Georgia, South Carolina and other states been so administered .that upon the approach, of

resoucces so far as they spired, wonld have been ore'Atlanta, or co-opera-militia

having that under. tamti^ and consent by which that aid, what it' :ih be givsn, will be most effectually rendered.

The state of South Carolina has recently made provisions for affording such aid 9s it can render by authorizing in certain cases the employment of its militia outt-ide of its territorial limits.

I feel that I truly represent the purpose of the legislature and the feeling of the state.

From the legislation of the stateof Alabama, in which the abuse of the aathority to impress is made a misdemeanor, I infer that the same difficulties, and I may say wrongs, have been experienced there which have been felt in other states. But in all of the states, and in all cases in which impressment has been exercised, I have observed two dominant ideas, always so prominent and genual that they are more than individual. One is that there is now no law prevalent in these states, that no respect is due now to the constitution, that tne right of property is subject to the visitation of what is called a military necessity, and that any person, officer, or agent can determine lor the particular case whether he intends that it shall be considered as governed by this law of military necessity or not The second is that no responsibility is recognized or admitted for official conduct except to an immediate superior or the chief of some bureau. When doctrine and practice like this prevail in our states, it is time that the state governments should interfere and prevent the great suffering which the people of those states are forced to undergo.

The

?he great crime of desertion has grown under the influence of these opinions. An immediate responsibility has been inculcated to the common government at Richmond, and nowhere else. If the deserter can escape the grasp of the government he considers himself free. And in that freedom, not only relieved from all obligations to obey the laws of the state, but invested with a kind of authority to ignore the laws of that state. Is this strange? He has been accustomed to see the laws of that state enforced, its authority respected, the rights of persons and property protected. He sees those rights no longer protected, those laws no longer respected, that authority inactive. Is it not natural that he should see in the license to take, asserted by his superior, a license also as his to do the same Hence do we see that the sheriff and other officers of the law in these 6tates are menaced, defied and killed. The torpor of our state government has invited that disregard of their power and authority which has been the source of great mischief to each state and to the confederation formed by these states.

I pass now hastily to another view of this proposition. Such intercourse and concert between state governments would enable them to exercise a wholesome influence, I hope and believe, in many matters which, under the conduct of the common government, have been now stamped as unwise, and the consequences of which are now everywhere deplored.

I believe that truths spoken by thefe state governments, not uttered separately, but unitedly, pnd which would have the impress of the combined responsibility of the executives of these states, must necessarily secure attention the suggestions in which they are conveyed. What higher security can the common government have for its conduct, what higher light to guide it in its course, than that which is derived directly from the immediate representatives of the states—the preservation of the common interests of these states being the end to be secured in the establishment of that common government?

And I oelieve that now is the most appropriate time in which, if I may use the term, this reformation can be commenced. For, with the disasters which have been everywhere experienced, confidence has been shaken and hope greatly staggered. It cannot be disguised. I think that, without the belief of some resource not yet brought into activity, by which the saddenea fortunes of this Confederation can be relieved, a general and fatal despondency wou'd paralyze the people and deaden the means of resistance. At such a time, let it be felt and known that the state governments, which are the real sources of the power administered by the general government, have for good purposes resumed the accustomed exercise of their powers, and are exercising their authority to bring forth the resources of their respective states.

I have no doubt of the result, no doubt of the great good which would be produced. And in the prosecution of this view of the power and duty of the state governments I have proposed to the governors, whose names I have already referred to, kindly, properly, and truly to present to the president, confidentially even, if that is desired, such conclusions as they have formed or majr form, of the polity or impolitv of certain measures of legislation or administration, and such suggestions as to the practical exercises of the powers of that government in its subordinate departments as have been experienced in their actual operation.

I an well satisfied that great good mutt result from this free interchange of opinion, and in all cases, when practicable, united action on the part of the executives of these states, either for the purpose of suggesting such action in the common government as to them may seem preper, oi of correcting such evils in the administration as are so frequently exhibited.

In this matter I feel great interest, nor do I desire to be considered as by great anxieties. We are in the midst oi great dangers, and it much behooves us all to watch closely and do what we can to contribute to the common good. In the suggestions now made I believe wc •will find material security for the people ol these states, and I shall be rejoiced to know that you will concur and co operate.

MR DEAR SIR: Through ex-Govemor Manning I have received your communications of the 30th of January and 1st of February.

I have no hesitation in saying that I most cordially concur in the general purand views exoreased bv you. The

tkefc*«rj||Uti«j» of the'eonstitution to snit th? Mtiming exigencies of the occasion. The constitution was made for the protection of the states and the people of the states in the enjoyment of their rights and liberties. Whatever tends to the enjoyment of these in their fullest measure advances the interests of the whole.

The usurpations which war engenders admonish us that "eternal vigilance is the price" which the stateB ana the people must par for the preservation of their liberties.

We must never forget that the government of the confederate slates, being the common agent of the state*, cannot, constitutionally, have interests or objects antagonistic to the those of the states. Nor should the states cease to regard it with the friendly affection parents feel for their child. If the child is wayward, and, with the flush of power, becomes forgetful of the respect and duty to his parents, he must admonished in the spirit of love and Christian charity. Such admonition rarely fail to correct tne errors of the wayward child, while harsh treatment will but widen and deepen the breach.

Just Jthis course I understand you to propose toward the government of the confederate states. Many and grave errors have been committed by the president, his heads of departments, and by congress. More watchfulness on the part of the states Future wretch vent future errors,' but may greatly mitigate the effects of these already committed.

Asiar as my power extends under the constitution and laws of Alabama, I shall at times co-operate with the other states. I am reminded, however, that the powers of the executive of Alabama are small. Under the laws as they now stand, the troops of Alabama cannot, without their consent, be taken beyond the limits of. the state. Feeling fully the importance of extending aid to Georgia last summer, I called the attention of our legislature to the defect in the laws at the extra session held in September last Again, at the regular annual session, held ip November last the same recommendations were urged. I regret to say these defects were not remedied by the legislature. I fear, knowing the temper of the legislature, that nothing better can be done until a new election shall place in power other men.

The militia power of Alabama is paralyzed by a provision in our law that the first-class militia cannot be carried beyond the limits of their, respective counties without their consent

The second-class militia, properly state militia, originally composed of all males between seventeen and forty-five not in the confederate service, have been greatly reduced by the action of the congress of the last session.

This class of militia is composed now mainly of bonded agriculturists, and does not amount to more than fifteen hundred efficient men in the whole state, including about three hundred cadets of the State University.

The first class of militia is composed of boys between sixteen and seventeen years of age and men between fifty and sixty. Of

thiB

class twenty thousand efficient

men might be obtained were it not that the law limits their services to their respective counties.

The legislature has made ample pro vision for arresting deserters and stragglers from the armies, and I trust that much good may result from the energetic execution of such laws.

The impressment laws of congress have been unfortunate in their operation. In my judgment, good policy dictated but little use for them. The supply of our armies could have been better and more cheaply made in another mode. The laws themselves, and their abuse, have together dampened greatly the affection and spirit of our people toward the con federate authorities, and thus have their affections to the cause of our independence been weakened. The people rarelv have the intelligence, or, if they possess the intelligence, they stop not to consider the difference between tne cause and the agents who administer that cause. The oaium attaching to the insolent, oppress ive, or dishonest agent is but too easily, sometimes insensibly, visited on the cause in whose behalf the agent acts.

From the ver/ pleasant conferences I have had with ex-Governor Manning in reference to your views of public men and measures, I am happy in the belief that your views and mine do not materially differ. And I can now see no obstacle to a thorough and cordial co-opera-tion in all measures subserving the great interests of the states and the canse of independence.

will afford me pleasure tr correspond freely with you, ana to unite in any reeommendation3 to the president looking to the public defence.

I will only say that I have a profound conviction that the government of the confederate states should be so conducted as to develop the whole strength of the country in this crisis of our public affairs. The strength which the support of a united people would give must he courted, by healing unfortunate differences among our public men, and by acceding to the wishes of the armies and the calm judg ment of the people, on the part of the confederate administration. ,,

We have no surplus strength to spare Gen. J. E. Johnston should again be called to the command of an army. His rf-storation to command wonld greatly augment and strengthen the armies, and increase our power, by renewing the confidence of the. people and the armies in the president I nave so written the president.

If you agree to this sentiment, perhaps a joint letter of the governors would effect the purpose.

With very great regard, I have the honor to be your excellency's obedient servant,
