Yet in such a situation they" are able to speak and act with moderation and dignity. In the midst of reverses they can look forward with confidence to success. In the midst of success they can contemplate and look forward to the possibility of loss and failure. Such men would seem worthy of a better destiny than to be dragged at the chariot wheels of a conquering democracy, and live under a perpetual reign of terror." The London Daily News, the abolition organ, in reviewing the message says, that President Davis has attempted to present a character of moderation and dignity, but ttie fierce and vindictive spirit that breaks through his habitual calihness and reserve, is significant proof of his exasperated temper, if not also of the desperate prospects of the Southern government It denounces the savage policy which Davis inaugurates, and the atrocious measures which he recommends to Congress, and says that the treatment threatened to the officers of troops incongruously composed, causes not only every instinct of humanity and every sentiment of justice to revolt at it, but it is an outrage against civilization itself.

Thomas Carlyle, in a speech on intervention, made the following characteristic utterance with reference to the American war: "It is the dirtiest chimney that'6 been afire this century, and the best way is to let it burn itself out" From the Richmond Christian Advocate. A NOBLE OFFERING BY A SOLDIER. Sept 15, 1862. Rev. J.

A. Proctor Dear Brother, During my distribution of tracts yesterday, at Chimborazo, a soldier, who does not wish his name mentioned in this connexion, handed me the enclosed ten dollars, rcouestine me to use it in furnishing tracts to the soldiers. I declined to take it at first, thinking that others than soldiers ought to pay for tqa tracts but he insisted on my taking it, saying that he desired tracts to be furnished to the soldiers, On subsequently conversing with him, I found him to be a Christian, whose prayers and alms will doubt less ascend up to God as an acceptable memorial. While writing, I will make an appeal in behalf of the Tract cause. For more than twelve months past the opportunity has been afforded me to distri bute thousands tracts, and hundreds of Testaments and Bibles to our soldiers, who have received them with evident delight and profit to their souls.

This is a vast field of usefulness, and will continue to be so. so Ions as the war lasts. We: find many Chris tians in our army, many penitents, some converts, and all accessible to religious conversation and instruction. Our Christian friends in the country, whom God has blessed with good crops, which have never been disturbed by an invading or defensive army, and all others who as yet have suffered com paratively but little from the war, can enter this field of usefulness by contributing their money to the Tract cause. We must all do something for the cause and perhaps the only means by which many can do so is by their money.

If the friends would only send the money freely to the General Tract Agent, then the tracts would be freely printed and distributed as bread cast upon the waters. Affectionately yours, C. W. PETHERBRIDGE. The Rev.

J. A. Proctor is the General Superintendent of the Soldier's Tract Society of the Methodist E. Church in the South. Contributions sent to him at Richmond, will be duly acknowledged and appropriated as desired.

DEATH OF HON. II. MILLER. A special dispatch in to day's Express, announces the sudden death of the Hon. Henry W.

Miller. This sad event occurred at the residence of the deceased in Raleigh, on Wednesday night last Henry W. Miller was one of the ablest criminal lawyers in the State of North Carolina, and enjoyed a more lucrative practice in this department of'ju-rispi udence, probably, than any of his peers. He was a man of rare oratorical powers, and whether on the rostrum or before a jury, never failed to enchain the attention of his hearers. He was a delegate elect from the county of Wake to the House of Commons, and enjoyed in a high degree the respect and confidence of his fellow-citizens, by whom his unex pected death will be deeply lamented.

He leaves a large family to mourn a loss which to them is indeed irreparable. They have the deep sympathy of many warm friends in this, their hour of great affliction. Petersburg Express. No Supreme Coukt. The Raleigh Standard notices, in a well written article, the fact that we have no Confederate Supreme Court, though expressly provided for in the It is really surprising how important matters like this have been and it can only be accounted for by the excitement inciueni to me ternoic war in which we are engaged.

We agree with the journal referred to, that it is high time our Government was fully organized, and all its departments in practical operation, and especially that this ibranch should be constituted without further Salis.

As boon, however, as these forces could he brought into action, avere conflict ensued. The enemy Cwag driven back, Jur line was restored, and our po--Mtion maintained during the rest of tlie day. in the afternooR the 'enemy advanced on our 'ight, where Gen.

Jones's division was posted, and Vtie handsomely maintained bis position. The bridge over the Antietam creek was guarded by General Teomls's brigade, -which gallantly resisted the approach of the enemy; but their superior numbers nabling them to extend their left, they crossed bc-' loir the bridge and forced our line back in some Just at this time, between 3 and 4 U.s General A. Hill, with five of his brigades, having reached the scene of action, drove the enemy immediately back, frqtn the position they had and continued contest until dark, restoring our right and maintaining our ground. When the battle closed, after having raged furi-' DURly. during the entire retained possession of the field and the enemy retired to his former position The conduct of many of our officers is reported by Gen.

Lee to have exhibited the most conspicuous and brilliant courage, pur loss was considerable, and we have to deplore the fall of Generals Branch and Starke, who. died as soldiers love to die, in defence of their country. Generals R. H. Anderson, Lawtan, Ripley, Arra-stcad, Gregg and Wright, are reported to have been wounded none ol them, however, dangerously.

In addition to the above, we learn from persons who hate arrived from the field, that on the following day Gen. Lee, who remained in possession of the field, took measures to renew the engagement; but the enemy had disappeared from his front and it is further reported that after tho removal of his wounded and the bursal of his dead," Gen. Lee determined to cross the Potomac, and had established bis Headquarters aff near Shepherdstown. The Enquirer in another article says We quoted in our last from a Northern paper of date the lfjth insL Papers of a prevous date have been received, which state that Gen. Reno was kiHcd on Sunday evening, in the battle near Boons-horo, or South Mountain as the Yankees caH it He was shot dead while issuing orders, about 7 P.

M. Miles, who was struck by a shell, just as he r- muv Him a lisi uv- had ordered the white flag to be raised at Harper's on Monday morning, had his leg immediately amputated, and died that night. Gen McClellan has been again disgracing himself by false dispatches. He is a mighty hero according to his own story, but the falsehoods are worthy his Chickahominy fame. The fight at South Mountain on Sunday he telegraphs as a glorious victory!" and he quotes Gen.

Hooker as authority for saying that Gen. Lee admitted he been shockingly tl A 1 r-w wnippea. Ana as it uen. hooiti was not enough, ho quotes rumor, as stating that' bur loss in that battle was seventeen thousand men. Now the truth ls-that General Lee has "distinctly -said that the battle referred to was a repulse of the enemy, although he had whole force, and we but a portion of ours.

The statement of our loss is absurd. We had hardly that number engaged. Sorely McClellan is the last man who can be excused for resorting to rumor. His most chastened dispatches are themselves as reckless as ordinary rumor; what must his rumors be! One of the enemy's letter writers says I estimate that two thousand will coyer the list of our casualties. I think that the enemy's loss in killed and wounded will not exceed our own.

Altogether we captured two thousand prisoners. As there seems to be considerable confusion, even in some of our own papers, as to the times and places of the late battles, we will state them. At Harper's Ferry, on Sunday evneing and Monday morning; at the Blue Ridge or South mountain passes near Boonesboro' on Susdav and at Shama. burg on Wednesday. After the battle near Boonesborough closed.

General Lee, as we have heretofore stated, withdrew his forces the same night to Sharpsburg. On Monday McUlellan slowly followed. There was no fighting ilhat none the next, except a short and harmless cannonade in the afternoon. Wednesday jV was the day of the great fight, which lasted until night. The next morning the enemy had retired abandoning to us the battle field.

ARMY ON THE POTOMAC. The Richmond Examiner of the 24th inst. says The news of this morning restores the complexion to the war which it wore a fortnight ago. Our army is still in Maryland, and still on the offensive. The occurrences of the past week have added to the strength of our position, and reflected new lustre upon our arms.

The enemy, with incredible and with the energy of desperation, succeeded in massing together an army under McClellan, which ift stated to have reached! a hundred and fifty thousand in Throwing away knapsacks, and gripping his i forces of every encumbrance, by rapid marches, precipitated this immense force upon our columns while a portion of them wore detached to effect the reduction of Harper's Perry. The rapidity and boldness of the blow were unprecedented in the movements, of. the Yankee forces, and the Northern people might well have anticipated the most decisive success from this extraordinary dash of their favourite general. But their bold scheme has signally failed. Their extravagant reports of the result were born of over confident ttxpectations.

They were rather the premature expressions of what they expected to1 happen, than report of what had actually taken place. They banked too largely, 6a hope and expectatioa. War If1 est.a lottery; and no man ever yet paid a 11 prizenhrown out to him by the wheel of fortune. Where the North expected a- magnificent prize they have drawna blank, and this misfortune has happened to -theh) under circumstances which ren der it a They have but one army of any magnitude in fiela. They drew together this rmy tn reckless disregard of the interests of their cause everr where els a-: --J western Virginia oMroops, reduced Buell to a small force, and exposed Kentucky and Missouri to the merc ol what they choose to term onr guerrillas all to save the Federal Capital, and strike a decisive blow against ouf army invading Maryland.

4 They' risked every thjhg-on one high hazard of the die- and they have lost Their exultant news, sent to Europe by the steamer which sailed last Thursday will have to be contradicted by a renewal of the oft repeated story of defeat and humiliation. Their grand coup has failed after the most prodigious ef. fort the Nrth has yet made iu the field, we are still masters of upper Maryland, and still threaten Wash-ington, Baltimore, Harrisburg and Philadelphia. The situation of aUkirs is eminently favorable for the South in every quarter.
