JOURNAL OF THE
[Feb. 26,1852.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY
26, 1862.
OPEN SESSION.
A mesaage from the President of the Confederate States, bJ7Mr.

Robert Josselyn, his Secretary:
T~the Senate and House of Representatives qf the Confederate S k t e s :
to the constitutional provision requiring the President from time to
tirne to give to the Congress information of the state of the Confederacy and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge neceqpary and expedient,
I have to communicate that since my message at t h e last session of the Provisional
congress events haire demonstrated that the Government had attelWted more than
it had power successfully to achieve. Henre, in the effort to protect by our arms the
whole of the territory of the Confederate States, seaboard and inland, ~e haye heen
so exposed as recently to encounter serious disasters. When the Confederacy was
formed the States composing i t were, by the peculiar character of their pursuits and
a misplaced confidence in their former associates, to a great extent destitute of the
means for the prosecution of the war on so gigantic a scale as that which it has
attained. The workshops and artisans were mainly to be found in the Northern
States, and one of the first duties which devolved upon this GoreSnment was to
establish the necessary manufactories, and in the meantime to obtam by purchase
from abroad, as far as practicable, whatever was required for the public defense.
No effort has been spared to effect both these ends; and though the results have not
equaled our hopes, it is believed that an impartial judgment will, upon f u l l investigation, award to the various Departments of the Government credit for having done
all which human power and foresight enable them to accomplish.
The valor and devotion of the people have not only sustained t h e efforts of the
Government, but have gone far to supply its deficiencies.
The active state of inilitary preparation among the nations of Europe in April last,
the date when our agents first went abroad, interposed unavoidable delays in the
procurepent of arms; and the want of a navy has greatly impeded our efforts to
import niilitary supplies of all sorts.
I have hoped for several days to receive onicial reports in relation to our discomfiture at Roanoke Island and the fall of Port Donelson. They have not yet reached
me, and I am, therefore, unable to communicate to you such information of those
events, and the consequences resulting from them, as would enable me to make recommendations fomidccl upon thc changed condition which they have produced.
Enough is known of the surrender at Roanoke Island to make us feel that it w a
dceply humiliating, hon ever imperfect may h aw been the preparations for defense.
The hope is still entertained that our reported losscs at Fort Doneison have been
greatly exaggwaied, inasmuch as T am not only unwilling but unable to believe
that a large army of our peo lc have surrendered without a desperate effort to cut
their way through investing Erces, whatever may have been their numbers, and to
endeavor to inrike a junetiou with other divisions of the Army. But in th'c abscncc
of that exact inforindion which can only be afforded by official reports, i t would be
promature to pass jndgment, and my own is reserved, as I trust yours will be, until
that infortn,ztion is reveived. In the meantime strmuous efforts have been made to
throw forward reenforeemnits t o the armies at the positions threatened, and I can
not douht that the bitter disappointments we have borne, by nerving the people to
still glr?flterexortions, will speedily secure results more accordant with our just expectation ant1 as favorable to our a w e as those which marked the earlier periods of
the war.
Thr repox'ts of the Secretaries of War and the Navy will exhibit the mass of resources
for the conduct of the war which we have been enabled to accumlllate, notwithstandills: the very serious difiiciilties against which we have contended.
P h C Y afford the elleering hope that our resources, limited they were a t the beginniW of the CoIlteAt, will during its progress kcome developed to such a n extent as
full to n-reet our future wants.
TylC Poli('Y of elllibtlnent for short terms, against which 1have steadily contended
from the C'ommcnccinent of the war, has, in my judgment, contributed in no immatwid de ree to the recent reverses which me have suffered, and even now renders
it (IiffiC'Uft fUrl&h YOU an accurate statement of the Army. When the war first
k)rokcout nlany of our people codd with difficulty be persuaded that it would be
'0% or serio~s. I t wits not deemed possible that anything so insane as a persistent
attelnpt to s11bjugak these States could be made, still less that the delusion would

so far prevail as to give to t h e war t h e vast proportions which i t has assumed. The
people, incredulous of a long war, were naturally averse to long enlistments, and the
early legislation of Congress rendered i t impracticable t o obtain volunteers for a
greater period than twelve months. Now that i t has become probable t h a t t h e war
will be continued through a series of years, our high-spirited and gallaiit soldiers,
while generally reenlisting, are, from t h e fact of having entered the service for a
short term, corripelled i n inany instances to go home to make the necessary arraiigeinents for their families during their prolonged absence.
The quotas of new regiments for t h e war, called for from the different States, are
in rapid progress of organization. The whole body of new levies and reenlisted men
will probably be ready i n the ranks within t h e next thirty days. But, i n t h e meantime, it is exceedingly difficult to givc a n accurate statement of thc numbcr of our
forces in the field. They may, in general terms, be stated a t four hundred reginiente
of infantry, with a proportionate force of cavalry and artillery, the details of which
will be shown by the report of the Secretary of War. I deem i t proper to advert to
the fact that the process of furloughs and reenlistment i n progress for the last month
had so far disorganized and weakened our forces as to impair our ability for successful defense; but I heartily congratulate you that this evil, which I had foreseen and
was powerless to prevent, may now be said to be substantially at an end, and that,
we shall not again during t h e war be exposed to seeing our strength diminished by
this fruitful cause of dieaster-short enlistments.
T h e people of the Confederate States, briug principally engaged in agricultural pursuits, were iinproridetl a t the roiiiiiieii(eiiiCnt of hostilities ith ships, shipyards,
materials for ship building, or slrillcd mechanics and seamen in sufficient numbers
to make t h e prompt creation of a navy a practicable task even if the required nppropriations had been made for the purpose. Notwithstanding our w r y limited
resources, however, the report of the Secretary TI ill exhibit to you a satisfactory
progress in preparation, and a certainty of early completion of vessels of a number
and class on s hich ~5 e may confidently rely for contesting the vaunted control of the
enemy over our waters.
T h e financial system devised b y t h e wisdom of your predecessors has proved adequate to supplying all t h e wants of t h e GoTernment notn ithstanding the unexpected
and very large increase of expenditures resulting from the great augmentation in the
necessary means of defense. The report of thesecretary of the TreaPury will exhibit
t h e gratifying fact that we hare no floatiiig debt; that t h e credit of the Governn~ent
is unimpaired, and that t h e total expenditure of the GoveInment for the year has
been in round numbers one hundred arid seventy millions of dollars-less than onethird of the sum wasted by the enemy i n his vain effort to conquer us; less than the
value of a single article of export-the cotton crop of the year.
The report of the Postmaster-General will shokr the condition of that Department
to be steadily improving-its revenues increasing and already affording the assurance
that i t will be self-sustaining a t the date required by the Constitution, while affording
ample mail facilities for the people.
I n the Department of Justice, q hich includes the Patent Office and Public Printing,
some legislative provkions will be required, which will be specifically stated in the
report of the head of t h a t Department. 1invite the attention of Congress to the duty
of organizine a supreme court of the Confederate States, in accordance with t h e mandate of t h e eonstitution.
I refer you to my message coininunicated to the Provieioiial Congress i n November
last for such further information touching the condition of public affairs as it might
be useful to lay before yon, the short interval which has since elapsed not having
produced any material changes i n that condition other than those to which reference
has already been made.
I n conclusion, I cordially welcome representatives who, recently chosen by the
people, are fully imbued with their views and feelings, and can so ably adrise me as
to t h e needful provisions for the public service. I assure you of my hearty cooperation i n all your efforts for t h e common welfare of the country.

DEPARTXENT,
JfCITCh 28, 1862.
To the Senate and House of Represektatalices OJ' the Conjedernte States:
The operation of the various laws now in force for raising armies h a s exhibited
the necessity for reform. The frequent changes and amendments which have been
made have rendered the system so complicated as to make it often quite difficult to
determine what the law really is, and to what extent prior enactments are modified
by more recent, legislation.
There is also embarrassment from conflict between State and Confederate legislation. I am happy to assure you of the entire harmony of purpose and cordiality of
feelin which have continued to exist between myself and the executives of the
sever3 States; and it is to this cause that our success in keeping adequate forces in
the field is to be attributed.
These reasons would suffiee for inviting your earnest attention to t h e necessity of
some simple and general system for exercising the power of raising armies which is
vested in the Congress by the Constitution. But there is another and more important
consideration. The vast preparations made by the enemy for a combined assanlt at
numerous points on our frontier and seacowt have produced the result that might
have been expected. They have animated the people with a spirit of resistance so
general, so resolute, and so self-sacrificing that it requires rather to be regulated than
to be stimulated. The right of the State to demand, and the duty of each citizen to
render military service, need only to be stated to be admitted. It is not, hoir ever,
wise or judicious policy to place in active service that portion of tbc force of a people
which esperieiice has shown to be necessary as a reserve. Youths under the age of
18 years require further instruction-men of matured experience are needed for
maintaining order and good government at home, and i n supervising preparations
for rendering elticient the armies in the field. These two classes constitute the
r p e r reserve for home defense, ready to be called out in case of emergency, and to
e kept in the field only ahile the emergency exists. But in order to maintain this
reserve intact, it is necessary that in a great war like that i n which we are now
engaged, all persons of intermediate age iiot legally exempt for good cause should
pay their dcbt of military service to the country, that the burthens should not fall
exclusively on the most ardent and patriotic.
1 therefore recoininend the passage of a law declaring that all persons residing
within the Confederate States, between the ages of 18 arid 35 years, a n d rightfully
subject to niilitary duty, shall he held to be in the military service of the Confederate
States, and that some plain and siinplc method be adopted for their prompt enrollment and organization, repealing all of thc legislation heretofore enacted which
would conflict with the system pro2osed.

Ihc following measage WLS recciwd from thc fresidtwt of thc Confedcrate States, 1)y Mr. 13. N. Harrison, his Sccretary:
To the A%iate and lloziac! qf U e p r e w i k i t w s of ULP(oiijedcrrite States (if ilmericn:
Thc great iniportance of the i i e \ 2 ~just received froin Tennessee induces me to

entlravoring t o effect hi4 rctreat by wid of his transports. The details of this great
battle are yet too few and incwinplete to ei1al)lc me to diqtingui~hwith merited
praise all of those who niay have c~onspiciiou4yenrncxd the right to snch distinction;
and I prefer to delay my own gratification in reconiinencting them to your special
notice rather than incur the risk of wounding the fcelings of any By failing to include
tiniicd exertion until we dial1 extoit from a proud arid vainglorioris e.neiiiy the

The last lingering hope has disappeared, and it is but too true that (;en. Albert
Sidney Johnston is no more. The tale of hls death is simply narrated in a dispatch
lust received from Col. \Villiani Ircston 111 the follouing wordi:
General Jolinston fell yesterday a t half-past two oclocli, 1%hile leading a SUCccwful charge, turning the memyr right and gaining a brilliant victory. A rninie

it may safely be asserted that our loss is irrep.
osts of the great and t h e good who now c l ~ s t e r
ere exists no parer .spirit, no morc heroic son^,
than that of the illustrious man whose death I join YOU In lamenting.
In his death he has illustrated the character for which, throug!i life, he Ivas conspicuous-that of singleness of purpose and deyotion to duty. Wltli h1s \! hole energies bent on attaining the victory which he deemed essential t o his countrys cause,
he rode on to the accomplishment of his object, forgetful of self, while his very lifeblood was fast ebbing away, His last breath cheered his comrades to victory. The
last sound he heard was their shout of triumph. His last thought WRS his countrys,
and long arid deeply will his country mourn his loss.

presented to me at a very late hour oil Saturday night. I h a r e examined them as
carefully as the liiiiited tinie at iiiv disposal has permitted, and h a r e returned nearly
all of them with my approval. There are, however, three of them to which I h a r e
objections which it is impossible to communicate to you in writlng w t h m the few
remaining hours of the Peesion, arid which will, therefore, fail to become lams.
Ilappily, the acts in quehtioii are not of great publlc importance. Recognizing, as 1
(10, the right of Coagre~sto receive the fullest information from t h e Executive on all
iiiatters of legislation on M hich his concurrence is required by the Constitution, I
haye considered it more respectful to the Congress to makc this statement of the

JOURNAL Olc THE

The legislation 011 the subject of general officers involvts the srrviw i i i 5oiiie difficultiee, which are pointed out by the Secretary, and for I\ hich the rcrnedy suggested
by hiin seems appropriate.
111 connection a i t h this subject, I am of opinion that pru(!ence dictates sonip provision for the increase of the Army i n the event of eniergencles not now antiripatpd
The very large increase of forces recently called into thc field by t h e President of
tile United States may render it necessary hereafter to extei!d the proyisionb of thp
conscript l a ~ so
r as to embrace persons between the ages oi 35 and 45 years. The
vigor and efficiency of our present forces, their condition, antl skill and ability
which distinguish their leaders, inspire the belief that 110 farther enrollinerit will
butltlenly
be necessary. But a nise foresight requires that if a necessity should
developed during the recess of Congress, requiring increawd forcw for our tletense,
ineans should exist for calling puch forces into the field, w~tlioutawaiting the
reassembling of the legislative depai tnicnt ot the tio\wriiiicxiit.
I n the election and appointnient of offirers for the Pro~islonal
anticipated that inistakes would be made, and incompetent of1
iiitrodoced into the service. In tlie absence of experience, an
guide for selection, executive appointments, as well as elections
timm unfortunate. The good of the sarrice, t h e intcrctrts of o w coniitry, require
that sonie ineans be devised lor withdrawing t h e coinmissions of office16 who art
incompetent for the duties required by their pobition, and I t r w t yon !till find
means for relieving the Briny of such ollicers hy sonie inode inure prwipt and lrss
wounding to their sensibility than the judgment of a court-martial.
Within a recent period we have effected the object 60 long dwiied of an arimigcament for the exchange of prisoners; which is now being euecuted by deli\ ei? a t the
points agreed upon, and which will, it is hoped, speedily restore our bmie ant1
unfortunate countrymen to their placcs in the ranks of the Army froiii which, by
the fortnne of war, they have for a time hraii separated. The detail? of this arraiigernent will be con?municatcd to you in a special report when further progress lias
been made in thcw execution.

The following message was received from the President of
federate States, by Mr. 3. N. Harrison, his Secretary:
T~ the ,Senate and Ifouse as Representailvex
1 herewith transmit a communication from the Yostmaster-(j;eneral, to whit
respectfully call your attention.
The seventh clause of t h e eighth section of the Constitution directs that after the
1st of March, 1863, the expenses of the postal service shall be paid out of its revenues.
The interruption of comnlerce and communication resulting from the war and the
occupation of a portion of our territory by the enemy, have necessarily curtailed to
a considerable extent t h e revenues of the Departnient and rendered I t impossible,
while the war continues and these causes exist, to make its revenues cover its
expenses without such a reduction of the serviceas would seriously affect the inter-&
of the people of the Confederate States.
If, in your opinion, t h e clause of the Constitution above referred to merely directs
that Congress shall pass such lavs as may be best calculated to make the postal
service self-sustaining, and does not prohibit the appropriation of money to meet
deficiencies, the question is one of ewy solution. But if, on the contrary, you should
consider that t h e constitutional provision is a positive and unqualified prohibition
against any appropriation from t h e Treasury to aid the operations of the PostrOffice
Department, i t is for you to determine whether the difficulty can be overcome by a
further increase of the rates of postage or by other constitutional means.
Doubtful as to the true intent of the Constitution, I submit the question to the Congress a n d ask for it the deliberation which its importance may rlaim.
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

O.r&red, That it he referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.

JOURNAL OF THE
[Oct 8,1862.
The folloaing message was received Proin the President of the Confederate States, by MY. 13. K. Harrison, his Secretary:
To the &mate and House of Rppreselztatives of the Confederutc:Slubs of America
The near approach of t h e day fixed for your adjournment induces me to renew
certain recommendations made a t thc commencement of t h e session, and for which
legislation has not yet, provided. The subject of t h e efficiency of t h e Army is one of
paramount importance, and t h e letter oi t h e Secretary of War herewith submitted
has heen elicited by correspondence with the geiierals of our armies in the field,
whose practical experience of t h e evils resulting from the defects in our present system entitles their opinion to great weight.
An army without discipline and instruction can not be relied on for purposes of
defense, still less for operations i n a n enemys country. It is i n vaiil to add men and
munitions unless n e can at the same time give to the aggregated 111ihqs the character
and capacity of soldiers. The discipliIie and instruction required for its efficiency
can not be imparted without competelit officers. KO power now exists by law for
securing such officer$ to fill vacancies when elections and promotions fail to accomplish the object.
Extreme cases ought not to furnish a rille, yet soinc provision should be made to
meet e\ ils, even exceptional, in a natter so vitally affecting the safety of our troops.
Tender consideration for \T orthlcss anti incompetent officers is but another name for
cruelty toward the brave men who fall sawifices to these defeects of their leaders. I t
is not diffcult to devise a proper niodc of obviating this evil. The law authorizes
the refusal to promote officers who are found incompetent to fill vacancies and the
promotion of their juniors i n their stead; but instances occur i n which no officer
remaining i n a regiment i s fit to he promoted to the grade of colonel, and no officer
remaining i n a company is rompetent t o command it as captain. Legislation providing for t h e selection, i n such cases, of competent officers from other regiments of
tlie same State, affords a ready remedy for this evil, as well as for the case when
officers elected are found unfit for the poritions to which they may he chosen. This
selection can he made in such manner as may secm to Congress most advisable; but
this or some otlier reinedy is indispensable for filling numerous yacancies now
existing.
While this deficiency of competent officers exists in some cases, there is a large
excess i n others. Kumerous regiments and companies have been FO reduced by the
casualties of N ar, by sickness and other cawes, as to be comparatively useless tinder
the IJresent organimtion. There are (mipanic. in the Army i n which the number
of otficcrs escccds that of privates presciit for duty, and regiments in which the
number of such privates does not excectl that \I hich is required for a single effective
company. Tlic cost of supporting the Army, already a very heavy burden on the
resources of the country, is thus increascct to an extravagant extent. But this is of
secondary importance compared with t h e ineficiency n hich results from this condition of things. 8ome legislation which shall proyide for t h e c.onsolidation of coinpanies and Icgiincnts 15 hen thus reduced in iiiimbcis, and where conscripts ran not
1)c obtaincd from a State in ~ f l i r i e i i tnnmbeis for filling t h e ranks, is of pressing
ncwwity; aiitl a deep seiix of d u t y impels me t o rcpeat that no consideration for the
olliecrs W ~ C J may be unfortunately deprived of comniands ought or can safely bc
pel inittccl to obstruct this salutary reform.
It may be proper to remark that tlie necessity for this consolidation and the conseqiient di~chargingof tried and meritorious officers \\ ill obviously be increabed by
all Iegislatirc action permitting new organizations to he formed of nien who by the
provisions of the conscript law were directed to be incorporated into existing companies and regiments.

examination shall take place unless the application be made within sixty days after

be subject to reexamination on any nubsequerlt promotion.
