te States has delivered his Message on the meeting of the Southern Congress. The usage in the Northern federation is for Congress to meet on the first Monday in December, which this year fell on the 2d, and in a few days we may expect to have Mr. Lincoln's Message to the Republic of which he is Chief Magistrate.--But in the Confederate States the practice of the older federation has not been adopted, so that President Davis has the start of his rival by a few days, and is able to make an impression by a bold and confident manifesto, while President Lincoln is still engaged on his own lengthy disquisition. The summary given of the Southern Message shows it to be a State paper of great interest and importance. Its author has always been recognized, even by his enemies, as one of the most vigorous and astute politicians that America has produced, and he is especially remarkable for literary skill in compositions of this kind. We may expect, therefore, that the dignity of the South w

The entering wedge in the Great split of the Republican party. --The late scathing review by the Louisville Journal, of President Lincoln's message, is producing no little discussion in the West. The Louisville correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial writes: While the article alluded to has proved nothing, and simply misstated, or, at the most, exaggerated the somewhat cloaked idea of the President, it has produced much mischief and driven the first wedge in the split which is, without doubt, going to ensue as the natural result of the handling of the slavery question in the new phase in which it has presented itself — the clashing of State and Federal relations regarding slave property. The great split in the Union party, on which the rebels depended in the beginning, is not far distant.

the strength of the enemy in Kentucky--the Confederates confident of success — Confusing Opinions as to the time a battle may be fought — movements of Generals Marshall and Zolliceffer--the news from England. [correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Nashville. Dec. 22, 1861. We have various reports, from persons who recently came through under a flag of truce, of the strength of the enemy's army at and approaching Green River, threatening Gen. Johnston's command. The Lincoln journals in Kentucky and Ohio estimate the number at seventy to ninety thousand; some of our Southern friends who have come through place the number at a hundred thousand or more; while the more intelligent of these friends say this force does not exceed 60 to 70 thousand. From the best lights before us I am of opinion there is not over sixty thousand effective men on that line that could be brought into one battle now or within the time an engagement is expected to take place.

loch, and drowned their cries with boisterous strains of music. Possibly, the Washington correspondent of the New York Herald thinks that he has complimented Lincoln and Seward in this pen and ink portrait. They may consider it a compli- ment, and they may accept it as such, but their worst enemies have never said anything of them which will so sink the two men in the estimation of all Christendom. It is all in keeping with Lincoln's original local that "Nobody is hurt;" but there is no tyrant living, be he Turk or Christian, who would be " full of mirth," amid such scenes of bloodshed, death and sorrow as have come upon Lincoln's own country; nLincoln's own country; no Prime Minister of any sovereign in any age who would not blush to be described as going forth amid afflictions which have darkened every hearthstone, and such public perplexities and calamities as might well melt the most callous heart, and draw tears from Heaven, "puffing his Havana with a gay and festive air!"

re, the alleged work of an incendiary, which occurred in this city on the same night with three other fires, and in a locality thickly surrounded by military hospitals, suggests the propriety of adopting at least some details of the European system in our own towns. It is fearful to think of buildings filled with sick soldiers, of men who have been wounded in battles and suffering from disease, thus exposed to a new and more terrible danger at the hands of an enemy even baser and more vindictive than those they have met in the open field. That there are still Lincoln agents in Richmond, who are capable of any crime against a country which has never been gusty even of a weakness, except in failing to ferret out and bring to justice such villains as themselves, is evident enough to any one who has eyes. Too much vigilance cannot be exercised by both the civil and military authorities, especially in the neighborhood of hospitals and other buildings connected with the public service.

y. It appears that, earlier in the afternoon, there was some difficulty between two or three members of the company, and he interfered.--Murphy afterwards deliberately took out his pistol and shot Reily without provocation, although it seems both were good friends.--The ball cut the main artery of the heart, and he expired almost instantaneously.
