MessageofPresident Davis. To the Congress of the Confederate States of America: Gentlemen: My Message addressed to you at the commencement of the session, contained such full information of the state of the Confederacy as to render it unnecessary that I should now do more than call your attention to such important facts as have occurred during the recess, and to matters connected with the public defence. I have again to congratulate you on the accession of new members to our Conl last one, or three, or five years, is a problem they leave to be solved by the enemy alone; it will last till the enemy shall have withdrawn from their borders — till their political rights, their altars and their homes are freed from invasion. Then, and then only, will they rest from this struggle, to enjoy in peace the blessings which, with the favor of Providence, they have secured by the aid of their own strong hearts and sturdy arms. Jefferson Davis. Richmond, July 20, 1861.

correctness of this surmise, for Patterson's column constituted a part of the enemy's fighting force on yesterday. The centre of our line was commanded by President Davis in person; the left by the glorious Beauregard. President Davis, with the energy and gallantry that belongs to his character, had no sooner delivered his MessPresident Davis, with the energy and gallantry that belongs to his character, had no sooner delivered his Message to Congress in this city on Saturday, than he commenced his arrangements for sharing the fate of our army in the field. He accordingly left this city early yesterday morning, and arrived in time to take a decisive part in the battle. The heaviest onset of the enemy was made upon our left, under Gen. Johnston, and it was this division that suffered the heaviest loss. --It continued to be pressed during the whole of the day, until about four o'clock in the afternoon, when President Davis advanced his centre, disengaged a portion of the enemy's forces and decided the fortune of the day. The day is ours; but the victory, though glorious, has cost us

about four o'clock, in consequence of an attempt of the enemy to throw up breastworks under the disguise of burying their lead. In the general engagement President Davis led the centre, Gen. Beauregard the right wing, and Gen. Johnston the left wing of our army. The Lincoln army was completely routed. Hampton's Legion suffered considerable loss. Sherman's celebrated Battery of Light Artillery was taken by our troops. The fight was very severe and fatal on both sides. Among the prominent officers who are reported to have been killed are Col. Bartow, of Georgia; Gen. Ber, of South Carolina, Gen. Kiery Smith, and Col. Johnson, of the Hampton Legion. The following dispatch was received by Mrs. President Davis late last evening: "We have won a glorious but dear bought victory — the night closed with the enemy in full fight, pursued by our troops." "Jeff. Davis." The reader is referred to our telegraph column for intelligence from the scene of action.

The recent flag of truce from President Davis to Abraham Lincoln. After the reading of the Message, by request of Mr. Peskins, of Louisiana, the following correspondence was read by the Clerk. The subject being in relation to a matter about wen a great deal of anxiety felt, to wit: the mission of Col. Taylor to President Lincoln, under a flag of truce from President Davis, we lay it before our readers this morning, with the assurance that it will be read with that interest which the subrisoners taken on the Savannah, an equal number of those now held by us, according to rank.

The President's Message. The Message of President Davis has the rare merit of heavity. The period has been so recent since the adjournment of Congress, that little was to be brought before the attention of that body which had not been urged in the previous Message. Accordingly, the President has confined himself chiefly to a cutting rebuke of some of the positions taken by Lincoln in that functionary's late Message to the Northern Congress. The Message is admirably written, and is no more fortune of that sort. We shall capture from him many prisoners; and we shall, have it in our power to punish with inexorable rigor whatever enormities he may be guilty of in the future. We admire the firmness of tone with which President Davis has given Lincoln to understand his intentions in this regard. The occasion of the condemnation of our privateers in New York was admirably chosen for sending this admonition. If the cowardly Yankees shall dare to inflict judicial murder a
