iifbuTOOMKRV, Feb. 18.—Thu Hon. Jefferson
Davrr, of Mississippi, was inaugurated President
■of.the Provisional Government of the Cónfed.
•crated Spates of America, as before arranged;
to-dáy." TLs inaugura] ceremonies constituted,
as g. Alióle, the grandest pageant ever witcsssed
in the 3cuth The city was alive from early
morning with delegations from . the various
States and people from the adjoining country,
and long befors the hour for the inaugiation
■arrived, the capítol MÜ was tilled with tha
beauty and chivalry «f the South* A large
pumher of military companies frofii tin's Siete,
Mississippi and Georgia were also present, and
gave eclat to the occasion. The oath of office
was a¿nift!stcred to the- President by the Chief
Justice«f Alabama*' 2a the principal ball of
the capital, in his immediate -presence, were
the members of the Southern Congress, now in
«fesefea b&ro, the {¡«legations from the Confed-
erated States, and the chief milHary authorities.
President Davis commenced bis address at pre-
«yrely ono o'cloek. It is verbatim et literatim
«■follows: •
4-retiilemtsn of tie Congress of the
Confederated Sin tes of America i
"Friends and Fellow-Citizens—Called to, the
difficult and.responsibly position of Chief Mag-
istrate of ttife Provisional Government which
you have instituted, f approach the discharge
£ the-duties assigned to ffie with humble dis-
trust of my abilities, but with a sustaining con
fidence in the wisdom of those who are to guide
and aid me in the administration of public
affairs, and an abiding faith in the virtue and
patriotism of the people. Looking forward to
tbe speedy establishment of a permane.it Gov.
■ernaient to take the place of Ibis, which by its
greater moral and physical power-will be better
■able to combat with many difficulties that will
ariss from the conflicting interests of separate
cation , ! enter upen the duties of the office to
which I have been chosen, with the hope that
tbe beginning of our career «s a Confederacy
tnay not be obstracted. by hostile opposition to
oor enjoyment of the separate existence and in-
dependence we have assorted, and which, with
tbo blessing of Providence, we will contend for
and maintain.
Our present political position lias been achieved
in a manner unprecedented in the history oí na-
tions. It illustrates the American idea that
governments rests upon the consent of the gov-
cme l, and tha* it is the right of the people to
alter or abolish them at will, whenever they be-
come destructive ef the ends for which they
Tbe declared purpose of the
were established
■compact of the Ontcd States from which we
have withdrawn, was to establish justice, insure
domestic tranquility, provide for the common
defence, promote the general welfare and secure
the blessings of liberty to out sel ves and our pos-
terity ; and now, when in the judgment of the
sovereign States composing the Confederacy, it
has been perverted from the purposes tor which it
was ordained, and ceased to answer the end for
which it was established, a peaceful appeal to the
ballot-box has deflated that, so far as Ihev are
concerned, the Government created by that con-
pact should cease to exist. In this,, they have
merely asserted the rigbt whioh the Declaration
of Independence, July 4th, 1786, defined to be
44 inalienable ; " of the time <nd occasion for its
assertion and exerci e they, as sovereigns, were
the final judges, each for itself.
Thu imprirtiitl and enlightened vcrdrct of man
bind will vindicate the rectitude of our conduct
^nd He who kr ows all hearts will judge of the
Sincerity with which wc have labored to preserve
the Government of our Fathers, in its spirit —

the Uoiled States, and which has been solemnly
affirrned and reaffirmed in flic bills of the rights

I here can, however, he but little rivalry between

munity, such a* those of the Northern and East-
ern Staffs of the American Union.
It mtisf follow, fhcrefo-e, that mutual interest

should cíoiid the judgment or inflame the ambi-
tion of those plates, we must prepaio lo meet

• s!?the act has been denominated
communicatcd with foreig. nations is changed,
but this does not necessarily interrupt their inter-
national relations, sustained by the consciousness
that this Transition from the former Union to the
present Confederacy has not proceeded from a
disregard, on our part, of jusi obligations, or any
failure to perform every Constitutional duty.
Moved by no interest or passion to invade the
rights of others, and anxious to cultivate peace
and commerce with all nations, if we may not
hope to avoid war, we may at least expect pos-
terity will acquit us of from having needlessly
msda H. Doubly justified, therefore, by the ab-
sence of WTOng on our part, and by the wanton
tfggfescio of others, there can be no reason to
doufct that the courage and patriotism of the
people of the Confederate States of America
will be found equal to any measure of defence
which their honor and security will require in
maintaining it, though pursued through many
years of controversy with our late associates ¿Í
the Northern States, We have vainly endeav.
ored to sccvrre tranquility snd obtain respect for
tb<j right* to which we are entitled, and as a
necessity, not as a choice, we have resorted to
the remedy of separation, and henceforth our
energies must be directed to the conduct of our
own affairs, and the perpetuity of tbe Confed-
eracy we form. «
If a just perception of mutual interest «hall
permit us' peaceably to pursue our separate po
litical course, my most earnest desire will have
been fulfilled, but if this be denied us, and the
integrity of our territory and jurisdiction be as.
sailed, it will but remain for us with firm resolve
to appeallo arms, and to invoke the blessings of
Providence on a just cause as a consequence of
our new condition and relations, and with a view
ta meet anticipated wants it will be necessary to
provide for the speedy and efficient organization
of branches of the executive department, hav-
ing special charge of foreign, international, fi
nance, military aflasrs, ami postal service, for
poroses of defenoe. The confederate States
may. under ordinary circumstances rely mainly
upon their militia,but it is deemed advisable in
the piesent condition of affairs that there should
be a well instructed and disciplined army, more
numerous than would usually be required fur a
peace establishment.
I would also suggest thai,for the protection
of our hai'bors and commerce on the high seas, a
navy be organized-; but this, as well as other
subjects appropriate to our necessity has, doubt-
less, engaged the attention of the Congrels.
With a Constitution .differing from that of our
fathers only so far as it consists of our well
known intention to be freed from sectional influ-
ence, which has interfered with the pursuits °ef
the general welfare, it is not unusual to expect
that other Slates, from which we have recently
parted, seek to unite their fortunes with ours
under the government we have instituted. For
this your Constitution makes adequate provision;
but beyond this, if I mistake not, the judgment
and, will of the people . are that a re-union with
the States from which we have separated is
neither practicable nor -desirable. To increase
the power, develop "the resontces and promote
the happiness of a Confederacy, it is necessary
that there should be so much bomogenity that
the welfare of every portion be the aim of the
whola.
When tliis does not exist, antagonisms are
engendered which must and should result in
separation. Actuated'solely by the desire to
preserve our own rights aud promote our own
welfare, the separation of the United Sfates has
been marked by no aggressions upoii others, and
' followed by no co&vulHion; our industria! pur-
suits havo received no check; the cuitivatiou of
our fields has progressed as heretofore; aud even
should we bo involvcdT in war, there would b<;
UQ-w.raidorable diminution in the production of
staples whicii have constituted our exports, and
in which the commercial world has interest
scarcely less than our own. ff bis eAmmiifitter
est of the producer and consumer can-only be
interrupted by an exteriof foice, which would
obstruct the transmission of our staples to for-
eign-markets—a course of conduct which wotild
be as unjust to us as it would he detrimental to
manufacturing and commercial interests abroad,
should reason guide the action of tbe govern
ment from which we have separated—a policy
so detrimental to the civilized world, the North-
ern States iucludcd, could not be dictated by the
strongest desire to infl'ct injury upon us; but if
the contrary should prove true, a terrible res pon
sibility will rest upon it, and the *uff rings of
ukitudes will bear testimony lo the folly and
wickedness of oiir aggressors. In the mean
time, there will remain to us besides the ordinary
remedies before suggested, t;ie well known re-
sources for retaliation upou the commerce of an
ensmy.
Mv experience in pubtio stations of a
subordinate grade to this, which your kind
ness has conferred upon me, has taught me
that care and toil, and disparagement, arc
the prices of official elevation. You wi!i
see roany errors to. forgive, many deficient
ces to tolerate, but you shall not find in
me, either want of zeal or fidelity to the
cause that is to me, highest and most en-
dearing affection. Your generosity has
bestowed upon me, an undeserved distinc
tion, one which I neither sought or desir-
ed. Upon the continuance of the sentí-,
ment, and upon your wisdom and patriot
ism, I rely to direct and support me in the
performance of the duty required at mv
hands. We havo changed our political
relations, but not our system of Govern
moni. 1 he Constitution framed bv our
bathers, is that ot the Confederate States,
In their expositions of it, and in thejuci
cial constructions it has received, we have
a light which has revealed its true mean
ing. Thus instructed, as to the true mean
ing, and just interpretation of that instru
ment, aud ever ¡«'iiembering that all t ífica
are but trusts, held for the people, and
that powers delegated, are to be strictly
construed, I will hope by due diligence in
the performance of my duties, though I
may disappoint your expectations, yet to
retaiu, when retiring, something of the
good will and confidence which welcome
rnv entrance into oifice.
It is joyous in tlie midst of perilous
times to look around upou a people united
in heart, where one purpose of high re
solve auiinates and actuates the whole.
Where the sacrifices to be made are not
weighed in the balance against honor, lib
erty, and equality, bstacles may retard,
but they cannot long prevent I he progress
of a movement sanctified by its justice and
sustained by a virtuous people. Let us.
threfore invoke the (Jod of our fathers to
guide and pro'ect us in our efforts to per-
petuate principles which by his blessing,
tbey were able to vindicate, establish, and
transmit o their posterity. With the con
tinuatice of bis favor ever gratefully ac-
knowledged, we may hopefuily look for-
ward to success, to peace and to prosperity.

Washington, Feb. 17.—The Peal
Convention has, as yet, done nothing,
is nearly equally divided, whether toado
Mr. Guthrie's plan of adjustment, as reco
mended b/ the majority of the
committee, or to calla National Convent
tion by tbe minority. The Virginia dele-
gation approved both, and is strong again^
coercion, as is also the Congress.
The friends of Senator Seward, of Nef
York, say that be is decidedly opposed tf
Lincoln'# coercive policy, and declines no
to accept she post of Secretary of Stat
in tbe new Cabinet. There are other sign
of coming dissensions in the. Republical
party. In tbé meantime, tire Peace Con4
veution of tbe border States, finds itself
all at sea again. Gov. Hicks of Maryland;
whoisbere, informs the New York dele-
gation, to tbe Peace Convention that ty
has decided to call au extra session of tbé
Legislature.
ít is still doubtful whether Seward or
Chase will control Lsncoln's administratis,
Tbe former is against, the latter for coer-
cion. It is expected be re that the President
will veto or pocket both the Aomesttad
and Pacific Kailroad bills.
Richmond, Feb. 18.—During the ¿it^rg
of the Viiginta S^ate convention
urdav. several important resolutions were
introduced, one of which opposes tbe re-
taking of the Southern forts'; another
pledges the military resources of Virginia
against any mode of coercing tbe seceding
States by the FedenU Government *, a third
says that if compromises fail Virginia will
unite with her sister Southern States. Ex
Governor Wise reiterates hie policy of fight-
ing in the Union, and counsels speedy ac-
tion. Great enthusiasm was manifested
over the stars and stripes, and to night par-
ties are parading the streets under tbe
flag of the Union.

Alf. Morgan's Pedigree is one of the very
best in the English Stud Book, running back on
the Dam's side through fifteen of the most dis-
tinguished winners in England. Alf. Morgan
made his firet iippearance on tiic turf in Louis-
iana Rt New Orleans January 1st, 1859, in I'M
sweepstakes for two yearn old, which
won easily in deep mud, beating Dcntley~*by
Yorkshire, and receiving forfeit from Únele
Jeff, by Lecotnte. Time, I 58J—2.0114.
Monday, Jatwary 21st, 1859, at Mobile, Alt.
Morgan won the uvs-eepstakes for two vcars old,
mile heats, beating Cnmpbcll's colt, by Wagner,
Poindexter's Yorkshire (Bondy) out of Sally
Morgan, and Olivers Camgue by Sovereign—
Hill s Ivan, by Sovereign, paying forfeit. Time,
1 52¿ —1.52.
He returned to New Orleans, and April 11th.
1859, was beaten by Mario in the sweepstake
for t wo years old (out of ^condition.) Time;
1.49 1.48. After thi* his next appearance on
the turf was at Natchitoches. March, I860,

SEWING MACHINES, with ucw improve-
ments, at reduced prices. The Wheeler &
Wilson Sewing Machine Company, having
gaiiied'all their suits at law with infringing
manufacturers of Sewing Machines, propose that
that the public tbal! be benefitted thereby, and
hsve this <bty materially reduced the prices.—
After this date they will be so'd at ratos that
will pay a fair piofit on the cost of manufacture,
cacital invested and expense of makitig sales—
such prices as will enable them to make a first
class machine, and, as heretofore, to guarantee
them in every particular.
The subscriber has great pleasure in boing
able to abnounee that, not. only is thc piice of the
Wheeler & Wilson machine greatly reduced so
as to placc it beyond all fair competition, but im-
provements of the most important kii;d have re-
cently boen made in its structure. The im-;
provempnts consist principally of double plates,
suitable for fine and heavv plantation work
shifting hemmer, winch enables the operator to
change from plain sewing to hemming in an
instant; new glass foot, a new patent, belonging
exclusively to the Wheeler and Wilson Com

ess. Thi« ¡3 pronomced one of the great-
eitjaaapf&vcnicnts ever made -.in Sewing Ma-

me!*ts and low prices,; there is no excuse for
buying inferior machines. The ladies are re-
sdectfally invited to uall and examine these
machines, and also the Richmond [Va. J Southern
