“ERROR CEASES
TO BE DANGEROUS WHEN REASON IS LEFT HEE TO COMBAT IT”—Jeferso%
VOLUNTEEBING OF EXEMPTS.
I n a late exchange we lind the proposition
i.»r nil tlicr.3 whohavo employed substitutes,
or wlio arc exempt from any cause, to or-
• uni/. • themselves into companies and regi-
nnuiis, and tender their services to the Con
federate Government for six or twelve
m.inllis, as they may deem best. This idea
it one that, il acted upon, would not only
prove to the world the patriotism x>f our
people, but would also give us an army so
lonnidiible in numbers that we would be
enabled to lake the offensive and drive from
our ijoil every Yankee now on it, and close
i he war before their time of enlistment had
expired. Besides which it would.be a gratify
ing assurance to the men who are in the‘ar
my ior lho war, that those at home have not
determined that they shall bear the whole
brunt of this contest, but are willing to rise
and aid them in the hour of danger.
in supporting this proposition, and advis
ing V. ■■ people to act upon it, there i*: no no
oessity for us to point out the danger that
makes such a course necessary. Our people
uro well aware that at this present moment
every man who 13 able to bear arms in de-
Icnso of his country, should rise and do so.
They arc wll aware that on a successful
i 4sue of this war depends the salvation of
i he South, Let the shattered and decimated
ranks of our army be unsupported and force
I it numbers will overpower them; then
will a reign of oppression ensue that will
cause those who are now backward in aid
ing their brothers in the field, to bitterly la-
niciit, and to reproach themselves for not
obeying the calls of freedom and honor,
which, had they responded to, would have
spared them the bitter humiliation that, all
subject to the tyrant’s rod, must surely feel.
We loll the people of the South that every
moment of delay is giving aid and comfort
to the enemy. For, while we are remaining
idle at home, the Yankee government is
quietly mastering their Conscripts, for the
purpose of crushing the gallant spirits who
have so long stood like a wall of fire be
tween them and their desire for subjugating
us.
lu calling on the people who are exempt
to volunteer their services for a short period
to the Confederacy, we are not appealing to
them to perform other than their duty. We
it re oulliug upon them to perform that which
their country demands—what patriotism
should prompt, and what jus tice to the cause
and to our brave soldiers require.'
U is universally stated that there are no
loss than 150,000 substitutes in the Confed
erate army, and, in accordance with that
statement, there are no less than 150,000
hale and able bodied men in the Confeder
acy, whose services in this hour ot emergen
cy would be of incalculable value. Upon
every man who has thus paid another to
fight his billies a stigma is attached. Let
them now, if they desire to remove that
stigma, volunteer their services to the Con
federate Government or forever after receive
the well merited scorn and contempt of
every true man in the South. And as soon
us the war is over, an outraged army will
vi=it upon these “exempts” that just punish
ment that their cowardice deserved.
EMERSON ETHRIDGE.
From ihe Philadelphia Prts’.
Memphis, July 15.—It will be remember
ed that Emerson Ethridge is one of the most
noted politicians in this State, and, as a
stump speaker, he has but. few superiors
among the Tennesseeans. In consideration
of these qualities, the committee invested
with power to invite speakers to the Gth of
June celebration in this city, extended an
invitation to Mr. Ethridge, lie replied to
the chairman of the committee, Mr. Tom-
eny, to the effect that the meeting and its
objects were humbugs. Tins drew a note
from Mr. i\, in which he set up liis short
comings, political and social, to the public
gaze, in anything but coiumendary lan
guage to Mr. E. Mr. Tomeny Ua3 received
the following reply:
New Yoke, June 25.—Tomeny : You are
a contemptible little puppy. Tim day will
come when you will crawl in your hole and
pull in Ihe hole alter you. You are “cutting
a figure” about Memphis now, but will be
called to account. You ar# an unprincipled
scamp! You have the impudence to talk
about the’“galling tyranny” you were un
der betore the damned Abolitionists (like
yourself) took Memphis. The people there
knew nothing of oppression and “tyranny”
until the “Northern vandals” occupied the
place. Your patriotism is measured by dol
lars and cents. How much did you make
on sugar? Oh, you scamp, I would like to
get-a fair chance at you. •
E. ETHRIDGE.
Fighting Strength of the Confedk-
h\<sv.—Mr. DeBow, editor of DcBow’s Re
view, has made a calculation of the fighting
population of our country. He makes a very
t iir deduction for our losses in consequence
of the position oi Maryland, Kentucky, Mis
souri, and portions of Virginia, Tennessee,
Louisiana, and Arkansas. He then show's
! «at our m tie,population between the ages
>>. 18 and 45 amounts to 1,181,500. De
ducting one lburth for exempts.(a very large
allowance,) we Lave S3Q,0G0 men. VY r ekave
tost many men in the war; but the liaturq}
n >w ot our population has gone far to re-
pkice them. During the two years of hos-
tilitics uot le,s than 120,000 males have pas-
S' ll trooi under to over 18 years of age. Mr.
1 eliow estimates trom these figures, “iu no
event during a long war can the Conlederatc
strength be reduced under 700,003, if the
people are in earnest.” This is an army
ample tor all our necessities. J
What cause is there to despond ?
An Affecting Scene.—The Rebel gives
the following affecting description of the
first intimation given to the citizens of
Chattanooga of the presence of the er emy
on the 21st inst.:
One of the most impressive scenes we
have ever witnessed, occurred iu the Pres
byterian church on yesterday. The servi
ces were being held by the Rev. Dr. Palm
er, of New Oi leans, and the pews and aisles
were crowded with officers and soldiers,
privalo citizens, ladies and children. A
prayer had been said, aud one of the hymns
sung. The organist was absent—“and I
will be thankful,” continued the minister,
“if come one in the congregation will raise
the tune.” The tune was raised; the whole
congregation joined in singing, as in days
gone by; the sacred notes rose in humble
melody from the bouse of God, swelling
their holy tribute to his glory, and dying
away at fast like echoes of departed days;
the second, or what is known as the long
prayer, was begun, when out upon the calm,
still air, there came an alien sound—the sul
len voice of an hostile gun—ringing from
the north bank of the river, and echoing
back and back among the far off glens of
Lookout Peak. It was sudden; it took ev
ery one by surprise; for few’, if. any, expect
ed the approach of an enemy. The day
was one of lasting aud prayer; the public
mind was upon its worship. Its serenity
had not been crossed by a shadow. And
it w T as not until another and another of
these unchristian accents trembled on the
air, and hied themselves away to the hills,
that it was generally realized that the ene
my were shelling the’ town.
Without a word of warning, in the midst
of church service, while many thousands
of men and women thronged the several
places of public worship, the basest of-hu
man foemen had begun an attack upon a
city crowded with hospitals, and refugees
from the bloody pathway of their march,
and in no wise essential to a direct assault.
There was a little disturbance in the gal
leries; the noise in the streets grew louder,
near the door, several persons, who had
other duties, military or domestic, to look
to, hastily withdrew; the mass of the con
gregation, however, remained in their pla
ces, and the man of God continued his pray
er. It w T as impressive in the extreme.—
There he stood, this exile preacher fronfthe
far South, with eyes aud hands raised to
'Heaven, not a muscle or expression chang
ed, not a note altered, not a sign of confu
sion, excitement, or alarm, naught but the
calm, Christian face uplifted and full of the
unconsciousness to all save its devotions,
which beam from the soul of true piety.
Not only the occasion, but the prayer, was
solemnly, eloquefltly impressive. The rev
erend doctor prayed, and liis heart was in
his prayer; it was the long prayer, and lie
did not shorten it; he prayed it to the end,
and the Cannon did not drown it from those
who listened, as they could not drown it
from tho ear of God. He closed, and then,
without panic or consternation, although
excited and confused, the dense crowd sep
arated, whilst shells were falling upon the
right aud lclt
All honor to this noble preacher, and to
those brave women and children.
To Peace and Submission Men.—Those
who talk, or think about peace upon any
oilier terms except such as are found at the
point of the bayonet, have been often warn
ed by the Coniederate press, of the bed of
degradation and ruin which they are prepa
ring for themselves. Hear what a Northern
paper, opposed to the war, aud friendly to
the South says. We quote from the New
York Caucasian:
At tlie present writing it would seem that
filling to break Gen. Meade’s lines, Gen.
Lee fell back to secure the stores which he
gathered in Pennsylvania,the losses on both
being about equal. Thus stand matters iu
the East. In the West it is announced that
Vicksburg has fallen. These two events
have filled the War party with feelings of
the utmost exultation and joy. They now
fancy that the South lies helpless and bleed
ing at their feet—that they have now only
togive a few more telling blows, and the
last rebel army will be exterminated, and
nothing left to*stand between them and the
helpless men, women and children of the
Southern States.
We know very well what the policy ofthe
administration will be towards every State
so soon as it falls into its power. Missouri,
Maryland and Louisiana are vivid examples
ot their hate, cupidity, tyranny and injustice.
First the people w’ill be disarmed, and then
when helpless, their property w il be seized
and confiscated, and their homes and ances-
tralacres turned over to the rapacious Yan
kee. Their organs of public opinion will be
suppressed; their tribunals of justice over
thrown; their State laws set aside; and their
State Constitutions ignored. In place of all
these sits one supreme semi-military Judge,
like Poabody at New Orleans, appointed at
Washington, who, under the mocker y of the
forms of justice, simply register the edicts of
the abolition cabal at the capital. The whole
theory of self-government is overthrown at
a single blow. The right of the free expres
sion of opinion, which every American
claimed as inalienable, is tyrannically sub
verted, and the privileges we claim for our
selves inhumanly and wickedly claimed by
others.
How do you like “peace” on these terms ■.
Is not death preferable, to any mm with a
pint of crimson blood in hi3.veins ?
The Exodus of Negroes in Mississip
pi.—Omaha,” tho Vicksburg correspon
dent of the New York World, sends a letter,
bearing date July 2S, which contains some
interesting statements about the negro acces
sions to Grant’s army: "
The return of the army from Jackson was
the occasion ot a remarkable exodus ot ne
grocs. There were few able-bodied young
uieD, for the policy of makiug soldiers oi
them has made at least nine out of ten as
anxious to keep out of the way of the Yan
kees as are many of their masters. But alt
the old men and women, and young children
iu the whole region of country arou nd Jack-
son—thore who have been a burden upon
their masters, aud will necessarily be depen
dent upon our charity—accompanied the
army on its return in large numoers. Every
species of vehicle, and an untold number oi
broken down horses and mules, were pressed
into the service by these contrabands en
route for Vicksburg. Their effects consisted
of a wonderful quantity of old clothing, aud
bedding, and dilapidated furniture, which
they seemed to regard asoi inestimable val
ue. '
The transportation, however, was not suf
ficient for all, and hundreds carrying as
many as possible of the inevitable bundles,
trudged along on foot. All seemed anima
ted by a fear that our rearguard would over
take, pass, and. leave them behind, and suc£i
a straining of energies, and hurrying aud
bustling, was never before known among
the whole black creation. The soldiers were
particularly struck with the ludicrous ap
pearance presented by the' darkies aud the
tedium and fatigue of the marches were of
ten relieved by good jokes cracked at their
expense, which served to convulse the whole
brigade with laughter.
YVhat on earth we are to do with the im
mense numbers of them coming within our
lines is a problem which the future alone
can so.ve. One thing, however, is certain.
No matter liow worthless, or how incapa
ble of self-support; they cannot be permit
ted to starve, and whether collected iu one
locality, or so equally distributed as to give
each township in the North its proportion
of paupers, they will be supported at the
public expense. There is another thing
about this negro question which is even
more certain than the other proposition.
The minds of all of them are filled with
the most extravagant ideas of the North.
It is to them a country of ease and plenty
and happiness, and say and do what you
will, as* soon as the military blockade is
made less stringent, they will'swarm upon
you like the locusts of the East. Until I
came down here I believed that even if
emancipated, the negroes would remain in
the South. I now know better. Not one
in ten will remain here. They will go North,
if they have to accomplish the diai&ueo e.’~
foot. They don’t feel safe here, not even
those whose owners are dead, and their
fears impel them to go North. And then,
their extravagant ideas, as bright and glow
ing, as far as their own ease and happiness
are concerned, as the warmest imagery of
the Arabian Nights, will never permit them
to remain in the South after the road to the
North i3 open.
The Citizens’Meeting inAtlansa.—It
is very evident that there are numbers of
disloyal persons in the Confederacy. They
are generally to be found in our business
cities. They plainly show by their conver
sation, by tlie wishes they express, and by
their acts, which speak louder than words,
that they are not with us. Measures are on
foot in various sections to rid our country of
this class of persons. Meetings have already
been held in three places in Georgia, and
the justly indignant people have expressed
their sentiments in a way that cannot be
mistaken by disloyal persons. We have
published the action of the people of Griffin
and vicinity, also of the residents of Putnam
county. 'Elsewhere will be found the reso
lutions adopted by the citizens of Atlanta. It
is time that every community had acted on
the fact that ‘a secret foe is worse than an
open enemy,’ and had taken measures to
send all who can be proved to entertain sen
timents injurious in the least to our cause
beyond our lines.
The people in Ibis’region sj^uhl not be
slumbering when uur fellow-citizens else
where are on ihe alert All should remem
ber that the ‘price of liberty is eternal vigi
lance.” We should treat our enemies as ene
mies wherever we find them. Although
they may have been in oar midst for a great
many years, they have no claim upon our
friendship. In lact they are less deserving
of kind treatment than those of our foes we
capture in the field. There is no mistake on
one point, ‘a secret foe is more to be feared
than an open enemy.”—Ghron. & Sent.

ADOBE: OF THE PRESIDENT TO THE SOL
DIERS OP THE CONFEDERATE STATES.
Aria lore than two years of a wartare
scarcely quailed in the number, magnitude,
and fear-il carnage of its battles—a warfare
in whi*- 1 your courage and fortitude have il-
Imiratc* your country and attiacted not
only g: titude at home, but admiration
abroad-your enemies continue a struggle
in which our final triumph must be inevita
ble. U duly elated with their recent suc
cesses, iey imagine that temporary rever
ses can mell your spirit or shake your de-
term iaa’ion, and they are now gathering
heavy masses l'or a general invasion in the
vain b e that by a desperate effort success
may at icugth be reached.
You mow too well, my countrymen, what
they n an by success. Their malignant
rage aims at nothing less than the extermi
nation <ff yourselves, your wives and chil
dren. They seek to destroy what they can
not pin ider. They propose as the spoils of
victory iliut your homes shall be partitioned
amom the wretches whose atrocious cruel
lies lia\ e stamped infamy on their Govern
ment. They design to incite servile insur-
rectic T and light the fires of incendiarism
whenever they can reach your homes, and
they d -bauch the inferior race, hitherto do
cile an r- mtented, by promising indulgence
of the v :,i passions as the price of treach
ery. Conscious of their inability to prevail
by legitimate warfare, not daring to make
peace lest they should be hurled trom their
seats ot (K>wer, the men who now rule in
Washington refuse .even to confer on the
subject of putting aneDd to outrages which
disgrace our age, or to listen to a suggestion
tor conducting the war according to the usa
ges of civilization.
Feilow-cilizebS, no alternative is left you
but victory or subjugation, slavery and the
utter min of yourselves, your families, and
your country. The victory is within your
reach. You need but to stretch forth your
hands to grasp it. For this end ail that is
neces -ary is that those who are called to the
field by every motive that can move the hu
man heart, should promptly repair to the
post of duty, should stand by their comrades
now in front of the toe, aud thus so strength
en the armies of t he Confederacy as to en
sure access. The men now absent from,
their posts would, if present in the field, suf
fice to create numerical equality between
our force and that of the invaders—and
•when, with any approach to such equality,
have we failed to be victorious ? I believe
that but few of those absent are actuated
by unwillingness serve their country, but
that many have tound it difficult to resist
the k mptation of a visit to their homes aud
the loved ones from whom they have been
so h lg separated; that others have left for
ten. ; _rary attention to their affairs, with
the intention of returning, and then have
shrunk from the consequences of their vio_
latif .i of duty; that others again have left'
their posts from mere restlessness and de
sire of change, each quieting the upbraid-
ing‘ of bis conscience by persuading him
self that his individual services could have
no : ’fluence on the general result.
r i nese and other causes, although far less
dis.' vacefnt than the desire to avoid danger,
or V .escape from the sacrifices of patriot-
isnijare, nevertheless grievous faults, and
place the cause of our beloved country, and
of everything we hold dear, in imminent
peril. I repeat, that the men who now owe
duty to their country, who have been called,
but, and have absented themselves from
their posts, are sufficient in number to se
cure us victory in the struggle now impend
ing.
I call on you, then, my countrymen, to
hasten to your camps, in obedience to the
dictates of honor and of duty, and summon
those who have absented themselves with
out leave, or who have remained absent be
yond the period allowed by their furloughs,
to repair without delay to their respective
commands, and I do hereby declare that I
grant a general pardon and amnesty to all
officers and men within the Confederacy,
now absent without leave, who shall, with
the least possible delay, return to their pro
per posts of duty; but no excuse will be re
ceived for any delay Beyond twenty days
after the first publication of this proclama
tion in the State in which the absentee may
be at the date of the publication. This am
nesty and pardon shall extend to all who
have been accused, or who have been con
victed and are undergoing sentence for ab
sence without leave, or de3er?ion, excepting
only those who have been twice convicted
of desertion;
Finally, I conjure my countrymen—the
wives, mothers sisters and daughters of the
Confederacy—to use their all-powerful in
fluence in aid of this callj to add one crown
ing sacrifice to those which their patriotism
has so freely and constantly offered on their
country’s altar, and to take care that none
who owe service in the field shall be shelter
ed at home from the disgrace of having de
serted their duty to their families, to their
country and to their God.
Given under my hand, aud the seal of the
Confederate States at Richmond, this
