DAVIS IN REGARD TO EXPORTATION, After the jation made by the General Assembly for the exportation of cotton and the importation of such supplies of clothing for troops, cotton cards, &c., as the State might need, I sent Colonel Wm. Schley, of Augusta, to Engiand to purchase'an interest Ina steamer. Finding that be was not successful, by reason of the non com- pliance of the other party in getting the vessel for halt terest, in which I had contracted at one hundred and eighty-five thousand dollars in Confederate States elght per cent bonds, I made @ covtract with the Exporting ‘and Importing Vompany, of which Colonel C. A, L. Lamar was agent, tor the charter of three veseels, with the privilege of adding two others which the company ex- pected to have ready in a tew months, * This contract I considered advantageous to the State, and if left tree to carry it outI could have ex- ported cotton enough to have purcbased all the supplics the State might need, and cuuld have imported them upon reasodable terms, At thie point i was interrupted by the interposition of the Seqgetary of the Treasury, who, uoder the order of the President, reiused to permit any vessel to cloar un- less she carried out one half the cargo tor the Coufeder- government upon terms which were below what the State was to pay for the use of the vessels. This reztric- tion was placed upon the vessels of the States, as it was Said, by authority vested in the President by act of Congress 6th February, 1864, whicn pro hibits tbe exportation of cotton, &c¢., except under such usiform reguiations as shall be made by the President of the Confederate States, ‘This construction could not be sustained; however, upon any known ruie, ag the fifth section of the act declares expli- citly “that nothing in this act shall be construed to pro- hibit the Confederate states, or any of them, irom ex- porting any o{ the articles herein eoumerated on their own atcount.”” This provision in the act therefore leaves the Sjates ag free to export on their own account either upon fessels owned or chartered by them as they were before tae act was passed. But as the proviso in the act bud been virtually repealed by an executive order, i, in common witb the Governors of Mississippi, Alabama and Nortu Carolia (the Governcr of South Carolina concur- ring, a8 shown by bis letter), appealed to Congress to take np the question and make provisions as would svable the States to exercise their just rights, Aiter ma- ture consideration Congress passed a bill (or that purpose which the President vetwed, Congress thea, as 1 am in- formed by cue of the represeutatines of this State, passed @ resolution Unanimously in the House, and with almost unsnimity in the Senate, declaring in substavce that the States should be permitted to export and import without interruption upon vessels chartered by them prior to the date of the resolution, which would vessels chartered by this State free. This resolution was passed near the close of the session. and the President refused, as the member informs me, either to sign it or retura it, that Congress might be permitted ule his veto, Thus, by the order of Executive alone, notwithstanding the action of Congress 5th section of the act above re- rohibited trom exporting cot- ‘and clothing for their troops, end other ni ipplies, unless they would conform to such rulesas the President thought proper to prescribe, Tnese rules | could not couform to under the provisions of the contract made with the Exporting and Importing Company without heavy loss to the State. As I ‘was thus prohibited by act of the Confederate fovernment from carrying out the contract, I could not losist upoa the exclusive use and control of vessels. Finding the exportatious of the State forbidden by the Lincoln blockade, and placed under a partial biockade by our own Executive, I encountered great embarrassment in currying out the instructions of the legislature in this particuiar. If company were compelied to sub- mit to the terms prescribed by the President, and give up ove balf the storage room of the steamers chartered by the State to the confederacy, they were unwilling to divide the remaining half allowed them by the President with the State. By allowing the company Wo use the name of the state in their business, which, uoder the circumstances, I feit justitied io doiug, and by undertaking to wid them when necessary in the trans- portation of cotton to the coust, 1 was enabled to get them, aiter submitting to the terms imposed by the Confederate goveroment, to carry out occasio the state upon the vesseis owned by them. through the agency of Colonel A. Wilbur, exported som upon sraa!l vessels from the coast of this State. I buve given one-half to the vessels for carrying out the otber. Owing to the difficulties in getting letters from the other side, I bave pot yet received statements of the sales with the bet umount of gold on deposit to the credit of the State ia England, Should the sie bills and accounts cur- rent be recrived prior to your adjournment, | will imme diately lay’ them before the General Assemoiy. About three hundred bales of cotton were shipped upon the Little Ada (a stexmer chartered by the state), upon the coast of South Carolina, This vessel, after she uad been lovded with State cotton, was detained jn port between two and three months by order of the Secretary of the Treasury, supported, as 1 am informed, by-a mili- tary order from the office Of the Adjutant Genera! in Richmond to the Commandant of the pust, not to permit her to clear, Thus this state vessel was doubly block- aded and toreatened by Confederate guns in the harbor ‘and by federal guns outeide if she attempted to go t with State cotton to pay for blankets to be imported tor ueorgia troops in service, who have great need of them A complete statement of the State for the purchase of cotton, with t chased under the appropriations, aod per pound, together with the number of on account of the State, aod the number now in store, with account uf expenditures for storage, freight, in- surance, lighterage, bagging, rope, compressing, ac , &c., will be ‘laid before the Finance Comm/tee during the sersion. They are not transmitted herewith. because ro- ports of the agents, with accounts current, have not all been received. I bave purchased and had stored on one of the islands thirty thousand pairs of cotton cards, aod thirty thoa- sand soldiers’ Disukets. 1 bave also made contracts for soldiers’ clothing, enough, 1 trust, with what are on havd, tocarry the troops through the winter without suifering. Part of our goods were lost a few days since near Charleston, with the Fiore, but i hope soon to be adie to import the balauce. I bave lately been informed by Mr. Trenholm, the pre- gont liberal minded practical Secretary of the Treasury, ‘that vesseis owned by the State will be permitted to clear without interruption by the Confederate govern- meut Were the question an origival one, I cavnot donbt that Mr. Trenholm, with the act of Congress before him , would decide that @ vessel chartered by a State has the same right toa clexrance, as no substantial distinction can be drawn between the right of a State to ex 8 Vessel owned and one chariered by ber, which porary ownership.

Can this ction be sustained under any law of Couxress, or upon any prineipie of enlightened or sound yolloy ? Is ft not a pable aesumption of power, and an utrer disregard of every principle of State righ State sovereignty / 1 trost Coogress, when sembles, actiog upon principles of enlightened statesmanehip, will not only re. there obstacies by enactments too plain and nt to be disregarded, but that they will invite and encourage the reveral States, free of hindrance or duty, to import all the army supplies and articles of absolute necessity which the means at thetr command may enabvie them to do, Should this expectation be disappointed, 1 am satisfied it would be sound policy on tbe part of tule Stave wo pur chase several vessels, and to import upon them such supplies aa may be needed by our troops, and for State use, The State should also export a sullicieut quantity of colton, to place gold enough on the other Fide, to enable her to’ again equip the State road at tbe end of tho war.

(OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION. As will be seen by the reports of the Treasurer and Oompiroker General, the public debt of Georgia, inie- pendent of the appropriations of the past year, fur te payment of which # suificient tax bas been assessed, and vf tho change bilts imsued, which aro psysbie in Conled- orale States Treasury Dotes, auounts to 314,474.270. Of this the bonded debt in $6,086,260, of wuich $216,000, Deing part due, are drawing no imterest. ‘Tuo remaining debt consists of $6,943,000 im Treasury notes, and $1,595,000 im Treasury certificates of deprsit. These Botes and certidcates bear uo tuterest, and tbe vtate will Bot de caliod upon to redeem them in specie or ponds Lill rx months after a treaty of peace, Of the above $2,670,150 is the old bonded debt which existed ut the commencement of the war, meurred chiefly ob account of the construction of the Western and Atiantic Railroad, which is the property of tuo State, and for stock in the Attaptic end Gulf road, ‘To meet her liabilities the State has public property, consisting of the Western and Atlantic Raiiroad, bank Stock avd ratiroad siook, valued, before the depreciation Of the currepoy, at $8,840,124 68; and ner whole taxable Property worth over $70,000,000 upon a specie basis. The debt to be paid in Confederate Treasury notes 18 $1,411,442 of change bills, and $8,096;000 payxble inoew issue of Coniederate Treasury notes oa the 25th December ext, which, by the terme of the contract, are to be )'re- fenced for payment by the 25ta Murch next, or the Slate fe uct bound to redeem them, but they sre to be receiv> able in payment of public dues at any future time ‘To redeem these notes and the undrawa appropriations of the past year, there is now in the treasury 32,146,087, ‘and a balance still due on the tax digest about suflicient to cover the whole amount. But as seme of the counties whose digests have been returned have since been thrown within the enemy’s lincg,.it may not be possible, if the enemy is not driven back, to collect a sufficient sum Within the time to pay all these notes when presented. In that event I respectfully recommend that provision De made fer tasve and sale of seven per cent bonds Tuoning twenty years, with semi-annual coupons, to raise the Confederate curreocy necessary to pay the debt, which it is believed would command « high premium, or that new State notes be issued upon the same terms as the notes to be redeemed, payable in new issue of Con- federate notes one year after date, which could be ex- changed, it is believed, for Confederate notes with which ‘0 make the payment, This would evable the Stato to pay the debt in Confederate notes as soon as the taxes ean be collected. I also recommend that the appropriations of the pre- sent liscal year be provided for by the issue of similar notes payabie in Confederate notes, 80 a8 to enable the State to pay the appropriations out of the taxes of each year when collected, and that sufficient tax de asseastd to meet all the appropriations made. As the money must be used during the year, and the taxes of each year are pald during the latter pact of the year, it becomes neces- Bary to tssue theee notes to meet the demands of the Treasury wll the taxes can be collected. As | stated in a former message, no prudent man will now give bis note for property at present rutes, payable im specie atter the war; nor will -he berrow the present currency if he is obliged to use it, and give his note for it at par, payabie in lawful money after tho war, but be wil sell property, even if it exposes him to :nuch incon- voutence and raise the currency which he is obliged to use. If no member of the General Assembly, and no prudent constituent of any member will ratse currency for his own uses and give for it his obligation for specie after the war, no lexisiator should do it for the State, whieb is composed of the members and their constituents, If 1t becomes necessary to soll some portion of our pro- perty toraise the currency necessary to meet the demands upon.the treasury we should do it without hesitation, rather than incur an enormous debt in currency, to be paid out of our property and that of our posterity to future at specie rates, In imposing the necessary taxes ‘the law should make provision for the exemption of the property of the poor who cannot sell property to pay & heavy tax and live, and should place tho burthen mainly upon the wealth of the State, where it can be borne without causing suffering or want, As the poor have generally paid their part in the cost of this war in military service, exposure, fatigue gud blood, the rich, who bave been in a moch greater degree exempt from oer should meet the money demands of the govern- meat. THE EXILES DRIVEN OUT BY THE ENEMY. Your attention is invited to the deplorable condition of the uofortunate exiles, who have been driven from tueir homes at Atlanta, and other parts of the State, by the Savage orueity of the enemy. The inbumavity of treatment to which these unfortunate sullerers have bei subjected has probably no paraliel in modern warfare. and but few in the history of the world. Thousands of helpless women and childrev, many of them widows aod orphan of brave men, who have sacrificed their lives in the defence of the liberties of ir country, have beeo driven from their homes, with but little of their clothing and furoiure, and thrown oat, ex upon the ground to all sorts of weather, without food, house or s! . I have bad the best means in my power provided for their protection, and bave: ordered provisions issued to these who were entirely destitute, As I bad po special appropriation for this purpose, I bave used the miliary fund, or so much of it as could be spared, not doubting that’ my course would meet your approval. Tents have been furnished to such as could not get shelter, and I have directed that log cabins be constructed at a suitable locality by the Quartermaster General, who bas taken great interest in their behalf tor their comfort during the winter. The Quartermaster and Commissary Geceral have dove all in their power, with the meaus at their command, to mitigate the sufferings of this most unfor- tunate class of our fellow citt: I recommend that Proper provision be made by Maw to supply those who are destitute with sbeiter and the necessaries of life till they can provide for themselves. DRSERTERS AMD STRAGGLERS FROM THE ARMY. It ts @ fact that requires no effort at concealment since the late announcement of the President, in bia speech at Macon, that our armies bave been weakened to an alarm- fought gallantly, aod circumsiances the n be exposed. ; & sections of country in possession of thi have found their homes and their fam the enemy’s lines whero the latter are subject, not only to insult and injury, but to great suffering for the neces- faries of fe. Under these circumstances their sympa- thy and care for their families triumphed over their pat- riotism and sense of duty,and in an unfortunate hour they yielded to their feolings, laid down their arms and abanioned their colors. A strung appeal should be mace to these men to return to their jes, and @ tree pardon should be extended to each one who will do 0, This is ulready offered to them by Gen.

To compel the civil officers to act, as many of them not inclined to do 60, I recommend ‘the pnsenge of & law ‘Suthorizing the Governor to turn over the civil officers of county, OF aby portion of them, to conscription when they refure to act or to obey orders for the appre- heneton of stragglers and deserters (rom xt«te or Lonfed- erate service, and If they cangot be turned over to con- scription from age or otherwise, that they be subject to militia Guty and trial by court martia', for neglect of duty or refusal to obey orders.

Proper provision should be made by the Confed- orate authorities to receive the deserters at convenient pointe, not too remote from any part of the State, and to pay jail (ees and other necessary expenses promptly. The ‘want of proper regulations jn this particular, deters many civil officers whe would be willing to act, from making arrests, as they bave not money to spare to pay ‘the expenses, abd de uot know to whom or where they sbould deliver the persons arrested. While it is the duty of tho States to make provision to compel deserters and persons al return to their commands, aa imp: upon them Ww make such provisivn for the families of the. needy as will secure them from want of the necessaries of Life, in the absence of their husbands aud fathers.

ROVREA BANDS OF DESKRIERS AND STRAGGLING CAVALRY, It {8 & jamentable fact that bands of deserters from ad small bodies of cavalry belonging to the vervice, are constantly robbing and plun- dering our perple of their stock, provisions and other property.

It is proper, im this connection, for me to remark that 1 do not wish to be undorstood by elther of said resolations that I advocate the policy, in the preser condition of our affairs, of arming our slaves. I do, however, advocate the use of them as teameters, cooks, hospital servants and in every other menial capacity in which their services cap be made useful, or in which they can relieve freemen from such pursuits that they may take up arms. COXCLUBION. In conclusion I earnestly invoke the blessings of Almighty God upon your deliberations,and humbly pray that He will endow you with wisdom from above, aad will guide and direct all your coupcils, till they result in the adoption of measures apd the enactment of laws, which, while they strengthen our forces and give victory to our arms, will leadto wise and juat degotiation which may stop the war, with all its horrors, and secure the independence of the confederacy, with the rights and sovereignty of the States unimpaired, thereby enabling ation the inestimable ty, protected by ade- JOSEPH E. BROWN. The Grand Atinck on Richmond, THE JAMES RIVER FLEET &XPKCTED TO AID IN THR ASSAULT. [Washington correspondence eee Richmond Examiner, Nov. 9. ‘The presept campaign will, in all probability, close with another attack on Richmond. The completion of Butler’s cana! and fifty thousand reinforcements are Grant’s con- ditions precedent to another assault. These, however, will be fulfitied, and then watch out for a combined land and naval movement, the latter of a very tormidabie oharacter, for it is eaid that no less than fifty iron-clads will co-operate, and gre now being assembled in the James river Sheridan's Army and Porter's Flect Ex- Ppecteu at Richmond. [From the Richmond Examiuer, Nov. 9.) The most importunt intelligence, if’ such it may be called, which 16 unsupported by official information, is to the eflect that Sheridan’s army has certainly retreated towards the Potomac, and abandoved the Manassas Gap Railroad, by which its supplies were obtained. Dut one foterprotation to be piaced on this fact. if fact it is: that the best part of Sheridan’s army wiil be sent to Grant. A part will probably be retained at W: or at Harper's Ferry, to hold Early off; the reet will cone to the lines of Richmond, either by the Rappabannock route, over which Grant’s great army marched hither, attack the city on the northern side of the river, or to swell the depleted ranks of it nimseif for the grand combined water and land sssault on ( haffin’s and Drewry’s. The former supposition appears most pro- # , In the meantime it becomes every day more likely that the Dutch Gap canal will sbortly be finished: that irn clads can through it: and that an immense fest, Bring on ywry’sand Chaffin’s bluffs, with the view of clearing the.banks of the river, will be the most import- apt feature of Grant's last effort to teke Richmond, This canal, at Dutch Gap, is @ self-imposed toil. During ihe of Grant's army to the south side, he or Hutier found that our Confederate iron.clads would come down and attack him. To prevent this they sunk vorsels in the river near Curle’s Neck. The Confederates planted battories on the bank; the enemy were anable to take up their own obstructions under the fire of these batteries, and the river bas been closed to the epemy’s ficet (rom that day to this. He has been compelied to dig a canal to pass bis own obstructions, Such is the value of ob- structions tn the channel of a river. With good batteries tn the neighborhood and re on the banks, oo fleet, ironclad or otherwise, can pass by tbenMvor get them out of the way. The lesson was learned nt Sebseto- pol harbor, repeated in the Peiho by the Chinese, and again at Drewry’s Bluff in 1862. The obstruction: tily sunk in the river saved Richmond after tne Merrimac was blown up, If the obstructions in the river below Cdaffin’s Bluff are in proper condition and properly si ated, the labor on the Dutch Gap canal will ys lost. But by obstructions only, such as veass K channels, can rivers be successfully defended since the invention of tron-clads. Kveu wooden verseis can ron by stationary batteries, and no batiertes are of avail agamst fron clads, when there ere no such obstructions to bring them to & halt under fire. Torpedoes may be effective, Dut they are new tn¥entions and not fully proven. They fro algo uncertain things. They get wot; they get rusty, O'ten they fail to go off at the right time and the right place. But obstructions formed of sunken wrecks are proven. Their effect is well known, and they are the thicgs which sevsible men, who wish seriously to succeed in the dejence of this city, will never forget or discard. The Presidentiat Election. {From the Richmond Whig, Nov. 11.) Our Information is next to positive that Lincoln has been re-elected Few have doubted from the first that this would be the result, and fewer still will regret it. ourselves, we feel that the great cause for which wo ar struggling bas escaped a real peril. The policy of con- Ciltation, of concession aod cajolery which McClellan would have attempted was something more to be dreaded than Lincoin’a armies and navies. There was reat reason to apprehend that such a policy would de- coive, demoralize and divide the South. With Lincoln united North againt ivided South, in which event all that we have been striving for in this four years’ s le would bave been lost. But Lincoln ts to continue to the master of the Yankees, and the spectre of recon- atruction vanishes forever. {From the Richmond Eoquirer, Nov. 11.) Lincoln bas been re-elected President of the United States. His firat election could not surprise any one, for he was wholly unknown; but his re election. atter four years’ experionce of his character aud capacity, will not fail to impress the world with a very low opinion of popular government, So far as the people of these States Are intorested, the reelection of Lincoln is entirely Satisfactory. For ws, he is the right man in the right place. We would not have bad him defeated, but gavo all the influence of tbe arer to him. Our reasons selfish, directed it for the last tour years. We prefer an ignorant brutal fool Commender-in-chief of tho enemy to any otne man. fe suits us. entirely, McClelian might have given us more trouble, but wo have taken the measure of Lincoln and know exactly his entire wortbiexsnces, The four years more of war, which his election now makes sure, would not have been avoided by the election of McClellan, but might bave been couducted with much more ability and given us more trouble than Lincoln can possibly ‘com- mand. This re-election of Lincoln binds our people still firmer together, and provents the division and discord which the election of MoCiellan might have introduced. We know that it meavs continued war, and our country wil prepare for it, There is no prospect for peace, an‘ it is better for us that we should know clearly the purpose of the enemy in this matter than to have been divided in opinion by the hopes of peace which the defeat of Lincoln would have raised among our people, Let our nuthorities begin immediately the work of reorganizing the army, consolidating the regiments filling up the ranke, improving the cavalry and pre,aring for the spring campaign.
