THE WAR-ADDRESS TO THE ARMY
FROM GENS. JOHNSTON AND BEAU
REGARD.
The following eloquent address of
our Generals to the army under their
command will excite the patriotic emo
tions of every Southern reader :
Headquarters Army of the Potomac, 1
Manassas, July 29th, 1861,)
Soldiers of the Confederate States :
One week ago a countless host of
men organized into an army, with all
the appointments which modern art
and practiced skill could devise, invad’
cd the soil of Virginia. Their people
sounded their approach with triumphant
displays of anticipated victory. Their
Generals came in almost royal state ;
their great Ministers, Senators and wo
men, came to witness the immolation
of our army, and the subjugation of our
people, and to celebrate the result with
wild revelry.
It is with the profoundcst emotions of
gratitude to an over-ruling God, whose
hand is manifest in protecting our homes
ami our liberties, that we, your Gen
erals commanding, are enabled, in the
name of our whole country, to thank
you for that patriotic courage, that he
roic gallantry, that devoted daring ex
hibited by yon m the actions of the 18th
and 21st, by which the hosts of the ene
my were scattered, and a signal and
glorious victory obtained.
The two affairs < f the 18th and 21st
were lur. the sustained ami con’inued
effort of your patriotism against, the
constantly recurring columns of an ene
my fully treble your numbers ; and
their efforts were crowned on the even
ing of the 21st with a victory so com
plete that the invaders are driven dis
gracefully from the field, and made to
fly in disorderly rout hack to their en
trenchments, a distance of over thirty
miles.
They left upon the field nearly every
piece of their artillery, a large portion
of their arms, equipments, baggagt',
Jcc., Acc., ud<l alnio.st every one
of their wounded and dead, amounting
together with the prisoners, to many
thousands. And thus the Northern
hosts wore driven from \ irginia.
Soldiers! we congratulate you on an
event which ensures the liberty ol our
couutrv. e congratulate caci a man
of von, whose glorious privilege it was
to participate in this triumph of cour
age and of truth—to fight in the battle
of Manassas. You have created an
epoch in the history of Liberty, and un
born nations wi’l rise up and call you
** l/L* hscU.
Continue this noble devotion, looking
always to the protection of a just God,
and before time gi’)D*s mm h older, vve
will be hailed as th? deliverers ol a na
tion of ten millions <>f people.
Comrades! our brothers who have
fallen h ive earned undying renown up
on ear h, and their Moo I shed in our
holy cause is a precious an I acceptable
sacrifice to the Father of Trulli and
Right.
Their graves arc beside the tomb of,
Washin/b'ii ; their s; irits nave joined i
wilh his in eternal coinmnn'on.
"A c will h ild fast t > the soil in which
the dust of Washington is thus mingled |
with the dust of our brothers. We
will transmit this land lice to our chil
dren, or we will fall into the fresh
graves of our brothers.m-arms. W e
dr >pone tear on their laurels and move
forward to avenge them.

Soldiers ! we congratulate you on a
glorious, triumphant, and complete vic
tory, and we thank you for doing your
whole duty in the service of your coun
try.

The Financial Policy of the Confed
erate Government. —The secret sessions
of Congress are occupied with flic ma
turing of a plan of financial policy for
the Government, which will be perma
nent during the war. It is understood
that the debate on this subject presents
a single alternative, on which the senti
ment of Congress is divided. It is,
whether the Government should extend
the produce loan, or whether it should
take the control of the crops of cotton,
sugur and tobacco as purchaser. Each
plan has its respective advantages.—
The latter, however, is considered more
direct, more available and comprehend
ing a large mutuality of advantages,
ami is recommended by views, contain
ed in memorials to Congress, of some
of the largest planters and most
important capitalists of the South.
The produce loan did scarcely more
than establish a system of securities for
the investment of capitalists. It might
thus probably, be considered too limit
ed for the necessities of the Govern
ment. The system of purchase is re
commended as yielding advantages be
yond the mere ends of contributing- to
pay the expenses of the war, in the sup
ply of a medium of general circulation,
which the Government will not only use
in its purchases, but whice will go into
popular exchanges. This alone will be
of great advantage. The Government’s
issue of Treasury notes as the basis of
its purchases of the cotton, sugar and
tobacco of ihe South will find its way
into general circulation ; and if it is
allowed to replace entirely the paper
currency of the banks, we shal have at
once for the South a uniform currency
resting on the most reliable securities,
and with a direct representation of
value in the gold of Europe or its bills
of exchange.-- Richmond Examiner.
The Visit of Prince Napoleon to
Washington. —The llichinond Examine?
seems disposed to attach no little im
portance to the sudden visit of Prince
Napoleon anh the Princess Clothilde to
the shores of America. It says:
Next to the great victory, the most
important of current events is the ar
rival, at New York, of Prince Napoleon
and the Princess Clothilde. This visit
is French mediation n its first form. A
Prince so pacific, and a Princess of ten
der years, would scarcely come to these
troubled lands from motives of curiosi
ty or pleasure. Still less could they
intend, like the Prince of Wales, a na
tional compliment. The time is little
fitted for compliments, full as they arc
of
“Clanging fights, and flaming towns, sinking
ships ami praying minds.”
These people come with a political
purpose. France is the only possible
mediator in our national quarrel, and
the Emperor chooses the nearest mem
ber of his family to open the negotia
tions, an instrument to whom objection
and rudeness are impossible,
A Destructive Missile. —A destruc
tive ami ingeniousjnis.-i’c was shown
us on M mday by the Gentleman to
whom it was sent by a volunteer who
was in the battle of Manassas.
As a proof of the deadly nature of
this missile, we would slate that on
that memorable occasion it killed
three of our soldiers and wounded two.
It is a cylinder, containing five bar
rels, which probably carried twenty
balls. The clylinder is composed of
two parts, the lower portion, which was
filled with fulminating powder, detach
es, and is separated from the upper
half by a diaphragm supplied with a
valve, and it it is supposed that the
powder is exploded by means of a
spring.
j'he missle was enclosed in a shell,
ami its balls were discharged the mo
ment the shell bursted.
A Brass band contains the following:
''Patent, Army Manufacturing Com
pmy. Patterson, New Jersey.”
[Ciiarles'on Courier.
The Canadi\n Press on the Great*
Battle. —The Toronto (Canada) ‘‘Lea
der” says:
Os course the success will give the
rebels more confidence, increase their
ardor, bring additional troops to the'r
standard, confirm wavervrs, and in
duce greater sacrifices on the part of
the people to sustain the*cause in which
they are engaged, 'fhe influence of
Gcner ils Beauregard and Johnston will
be increased; no unimportant considera
tion, when it is remombere I that one of
the first requisites to success in milita
ry matters is, that the soldiers should
have confidence in their leaders. Hith
cr'o, necessarily untried mon have been
employed on both sides. 1 iie result of
the first serious encounter indicates
that tic' hast Generals are on the side of
the South. A great moral gain is there
fore, with the Confederates. They are
stronger noir than, they have ever been
since f.hf content commpneed.
