bis leet with Menu bruises, is expected to trudge

uu empty stomach, and never to aun aside for u
morsci of food to sustain his sinking limbs. Out
upon such mons’rous injustice! That there has
been unnecessary straggling, is already admitted;
but in o targe majority ol cased, the men have on

At no period during <he first Revolutionary war—,

lluf great as have Loen the trials to which the
army has been subjected, they are hardly worthy

in store for it this winter, uulchii the people of
tl e Confederate Staten, everywhere and in what

lief.

It is not necessary to counsel vide * .ensures,
hat it is not exp«ct«d that any person will he per
nulled to uceuunnlato leather and cloth loi pur
poses ot speculation. The necessities ol tue ...,
riso up like n mountain, end eannot and will not
be overlooked. It was hoped at one time that
wo might obtain winter biippliea in Maryland.
This hope was horn alter the at my left Richmond,
and has now miserably perished. The Govern
ment is unable to lurnieli the supplies, for they
are not (o he had in the oounlry. If it had exer-
cist'd a little foresight la.it spring and summer,
when vessels were running the blockad. with
cargoes of calico, linen and other articles of light
importance, a partial supply at least of hats,
blankets, shoes and woolen goods might have
been obtained from England But foresight is a
quulity of the mind that is seldom put in practice
in these days.
But whatever may he done by the people, should
be done immediately. Not one moment can be
lost that will not be marked, as by the second
hand of a tvatch with the pangs of a sufferer.
Already the hills and valleys in this high latitude
have been visited by trout, and the uignts ate un
comtortably cool to the man who Bleeps upon the
ground, (tome up, then, men und women of the
South, to thia sacred duty. l,et nothing stand be
tween and the performance of it. Neither
pride, nor pleasure, uor personal ease und com
fort. should withhold your bands from the 11017
work. The supply of leather and wool, wo all
kuow, ta limited ; but do what you can, and all
you can, as soon as you can. If you cannot send
woolen socks, send half woolou or cotton socks ;
and go nitn under clothing, coats and pants. And
if bUnkels aro not to be bad, then substitute com
forts, made of dyed osnaburgs stuffed with cotton.
Anything that will keep off the cold will be ac -
ceptable Even the gpecnlatx r and extortioner
might forego their gains for a season, and unite
in this religious duty, If they neither clothe the
naked, nor teed the hungry, who are lighting for
their freedom, and for their homes and property,
wbut right hare they to expect anything but 1 ter
nul damnation, both from Mod and mas?
If the army ot Virginia could march through
the South just as it is—-fagged and almost bare
fotted and batless —many if the men limping
along and not quite wail of their wounds or sick -
ness, yet cbeerfnll end not willing to abandon
their places in the ranks—their clothes riddled
with halls and their banner.! covered with the
smoke and dust ol battle, ana shot into tatters,
many of them inscribed with ‘ WiiliauK-hurg,"
“Seven Pines,’ Moines M’ll,” “Garnett’s Farm,”
“Front Royal,’’ McDowell.” "Cedar Bun,” and
other victorious ttcids—it this army of veterans
thus clad and shod, with tattered uniforms and
banners could march front Richmond to iheJMis
sissippi, it would produce a , susation that has or
parallel in history since Peter the Herat: led his
dwelling hosts aoross Europe to the resane of the
Holy Sepulchre.
I do not write to create atutm, or to produce a
sensation, bat to arouse the people to a senae of
tbetrue condition of the army, t have, yet to
leatu that anything is to be gmued by eupptcasino
the truth, and leaving the army to suffer. It t
must withhold the truth wtienjthe necessities ot
the service require it tube spoken, 1 am quite
readp to return home.
There is nothing new from the front It is re
ported that Jackson crossed the river at Williams*
port a few days ago, to repair a road, which he
might have occasion to use, aud then returned.—
1 see nothing, bowe.er, to chaqge the opinion
heretofore expressed, vn : that thu heavy workot
the campaign iaover, unless McClellan should seek
us on the 80.1 th side of the river. This, some be
here, public opinion at the North will compel him
to do. it may be so; though I doubt it.

turous history to recount They were taken
prisoner* while in Fn Vs army, but the Yankee*
would not reoogmte them ae prisoners of wa •, and
gave them a trial by court martial. They were
condemned and sentenced to be executed ; . their
coffins were prepared, the graves dug, and the

From Nashvill* -The Chnttauoog t firftcy says:
VVe are again indebted to Cupt. Jdo.

the dispatch of the 117th the following is the onA
item wo can tied worth repub.isbing. It goes to
show that our report a few days buck, of the be
plornple conditioh of that unlortunate city, was
not without foundation. We truly sympathise

The Tax Bill,
Wc publish below the Tax Bill now before Con
greets, reported by the Finance Committee ox" the
House. Ae wili bo seen, its ostensible object is to
raise money for the prosecution of the war. There
is, however, another-end to be subserved, onl,
secondary to the first in importance. Some of
the currency now iu circulation must" by some
means be reined to prevent a dangerous depreci
ation. The government, bonds must be taken up
more rapidly, or another ot other iasue3 of Tret
Bury notes will bo found necessary, which would
still further expand the already inflated currency.
The Finance Committee, from whom this bill
t'iiiiuiated, believe thatjhe speediest and least oil
jeolimitthiephuitor.it unco put Mug the govern
ment in funds, stimulating the sale of government
bonds, aad reducing the excess of Treasury notes
now in circulation, is to levy a tax of one -fifth, or
twenty p«r cent of tho profits of the current year,
giving tho tax payer in return thereto) govern
mem si j per cent, bonda. This, it will be per
ceived, is but a forced loan under the name of a
tax. White every think, g man must agree, that
some decided step 13 nc. eeoary to prevent a ruin
ous inflation ot Confederate currency, few, we
thiuX, vt dl he dispesad to maintain that thia cud
may not be effected by a means mote popular and
less harsh than that proposed by the committee
Men tinvo an invincible repugnance to submitting
to an inquisition on their pecuniary affairs; and
should tho bill pass, it aad its, framer.-, will be im
measurably unpopui-r with the monied men cf
the Confederacy, tho class upon whom the burden
of the tax wiil tali. However distasteful, we
should favor any measure, and the Southaru peo
ple would submit to any tax which could be shown
to be necessary to too conduct of the war, aud the
successful accomplishment- of our liberties. Bui
it is believed by men versed xu the history of
fiueacc, that ever, c-uo nought to fee attained by
the committee's Y«i Bill can bo accomplished by
tup u susnce by the Government of stock, bearing
uitcie.it lens insii ei.ht per cent, and of Treasury
Notes convertible only into this stock. At pres
eut every Treasury Note is convertible into eight j
pci cent, stock \Ycre the Government to issue !
hereafter notes convertible «ni> iuto stock bear- j
uig six pet cent, interest, tho present notes would
at ouce command a premium, and rapidly find
their way iuto the Treasury in exchange for eight j
per cent, stock, tu this connection, ■> e may add
that for the past .font mouthr —nin-e the buttle
of Seven Pines—the demand for Government se
curities has been immense, and is daily increas
ing. NY e give the Tax Hill :

These considerations, doubtless, had their influ
ence upou the tciad of Gen. i.ee ia bringing him
to the resolution to conduct hie army back to
Virginia. But it may b3 rated, why be decided
to make a stand at Sharpsburg ? H was dona, i
supsose, to cover the operations at Harper's
Ferry, and to occupy a posttiop. where thd diffe
rent and r-cattcrj.o wings of the at my coud be
consentrated in the event of a general attach, as
wed as to be convenient to a' good ford on the
Potomac. It must be admitted, however, that
MeiTeHan tad displayed unexpected energy and
r.,o!u'.-ss ia h:s movemoaU He put his army in
motion as soon sa possible after we crossed iaio
Maryland, and moted boldly on in our track. At
the time the main body ci bia inroes encowotsrsd
«ur rear guant under D, H. Hill atßooneboro’
Gap Jackson had not effected the reduction of
Harpers’Ferry. -MoCiellan had alar tout heavy
reiui'oi cements to the relief of the befoagured gar
rison at Harper’s Ferry g unit but for the disas
trous cheek he recei red from Gen. Cobb at Cramp
ton Gap, they would have arrived in time to afford
the desired assistance. The object of the wily
Federal commander was, doubtless, to save the
garrison at the Ferry, if possible, and to prevent a
re-union of the Canibderate forces; in both of
which he was disappointed. If he could hate de
tained Jackson, A. P. Hill and MsLaws below,
whilo with the chief strength of his army he en -
gaged Lougstreet and D. U. Hill above, ho had
good reason tor believing thut he would be able to
inflict upon ua a very heavy loss. Fortunately,
we were led by an officer ot equal cagacity and
genius, who penetrated his designs and combina -
tious and defeated them all.
It may not be improper to suggest here, that
the people of the Confederate Stales have been led
to underestimate Ihe abilities of licCiellan. In
my judgement he is incomparably the best officer
in the Federal mmy, if tot ihe equal of aay in the
Confederate; and if he had such troops as ours
to command the world would not bo long in finding
it out. His disasters are net justly attributable to
his lack of generalship so much a» to the charac
ter of his troops. The rnaauer in which he con
ducted hia vetreal from Kichmond and his conduct
ol affairs thus far in Maryland, are enough to en
title him to bo ranked with the ablest commanders

Some additional particulars heve been received
of the tiU'air at Shepherdetnwn ford. It was &.
i - Hill and not Jackson who commanded on tbe
occasion. It is said (aud thin is confirmed by the
surgeon allud' and to above) that about 2,000 Fede
ral infantry attempted to cioss lifter us, aud out oi
that auQtbri only ninety lived to return. Such
i as were not tolled m.d drowned were captured.

I been paroled, but sent ou toward* Uichuiorsd.
1 Ariioitg tlio latter, it is su’d, were several who

The condition of tha people in the Valley of the
Shenandoah, where we now are, id somewhat bet

more severe, and the transportation of sapplies

Considerable excitement was created in our
city on Sunday bv tha circulation of a report that
the Federal fleet Lad lef; Memphis for this point
on riaturda? afternoon. Such information w»s.we
beiievs received, here by our military authorities,
but we ft el rn r o way alarmed about an attack being
made on cur city, and ire question the correctness
of the report alluded to, as at the middle of last
week one gunboat and ten mortars constituted
tto where fleet at Memphis. They would hardly
venture down here now when the prc3peft is 00
very flattering for our aga.n occupying tbs rivor
..bout Memphis, and thereby entirely catting oft
their supply of ammunition, provisions, Sec. it
may bo that a fleet has (rone to flalaaa ;o move
tbs remainder of Cartin’ force up oat ai danger,
or to cross over into Mississippi for the purpose
of making a raid oa Yazoo river end destroying
oar steaiabrat< This loiter, however, we doubt
vary much as we 00 net believe they would at
this time send a force across the Yazoo swamp,
when it is 30 apparent that hardly a msn would
ever get (rack to tali thejtad fate of his inglorious
comrades.— Vickebwg Whig, 80th.
Outrages os the Mississippi.—The Tensas (La.)
Gazette says:
Information has been received here that during
the last week the Vankecs Committed m&uy wan
ton and unnecessary outrages at and near Milii
keu’s Bend, in Madison parish. Mr. Ma?shall's
Cabin Tesle plantation was entirely destroyed
even the negro quarters not excepted, and the
overseer handcuffed and taken on board 011a of
their gunboats. But Beveral days alternates, ho
and some other citizens who had been arrested,
were released, and immediately afterwards the
Yankee fleet steam' and up the river under very
considerable excitement We know not whither
they went, nor have we heard that they again re
turned, b-ut there is no doubt that they carried off
a great number of able-bodied negro men.

appeal to the charitable, we trn3t, will be prompt
ly responded to. Bet the boys, who are fighting

clothing:

clothing, o r anything else, to members of the
company, they can do so with perfect safety by
shipping by Express to Richmond to my care,
and to care cf Georgia Relief & Hospital Associa
tion. The Agents of the Association will take
care of the packages, until we can send for them.
Winter is rapidly Approaching, and «s the cold is
severe in this section, every man ought to have
plenty of good, warm clothing, nnd as it isunpos

Skill and McDowell —Tho Cincinnati Yolks
blalt. a Osman paper, publishes a latter par pott
ing to give the particulars (by aa eye witness) cf
the difficulty between Siegel and McDowell, re
ported some days ago. The Bubatanoe of it is
that Siegel, while engaging the enemy, observed
McDowefi waving a handkerchief to the rebels
He immediately rode no and demanded an ex
planation. The reply being very insulting, Sigel
resented it with u pistclahot.the ball striking Mc-
Dowell’s scabbard. The VolJublatt states that Bi
go! will resign if not relieved from service in his
present position.
Refugees from Ansbica. —The Cork Coustitu
tion, of tho2Btli ult., states that the number of
passengers coining from America by tbe return
ateamara touching at that port haa latterly been
much increasing. The Etna, which arrived on
the sfo'.h, brought 561, of whom 255 iaaded there.
A great majority of those coining are. young,
able-bodied men. It is a elraage circumstance
that the greater proportion of those who arrived
by the Etna, although from Northern States, are
thoroughly Southern in their feelings, and they
| dwtii with pride 0:1 the fast that the Northerners
have been beaten in every stand-up battie.
Another Yankee Donor. —Tto Vicksburg Whig
states that when oar exchanged prisoners arrived
at Helens tweivo transports vrers loaded with
Ysjecs troops principally cavajry, ana whoa the
flag of trace steamer started out for this point
These troops fallowed them and came down to the
mouth ot Waite river. The Yankees thus look
advantage r-f the flag of truce to bring their ma
rauders by our troop3 on the Mitsiaaippi shore.—
The Federal officer in charge ot our prisoners dis
countenanced the act, but said he had no author

Paortarr Sale in Atlanta.— Tbe place known
as the Whitehall ptot-erty, near Atlanta. w»3 sold

“ This property is elevated, and embracer, some
of the most eligible building-sites iu the vicinity
of Atlanta. The tract comprised one hundred
and forty acres, which was divided, into thiity
seven iots of different mzis, but mostly of about
four acres each. The homestead place containing
ahem nine acres sold for <3,200, and tom- other
choice iots on which there are no improvements
sold for nearly one thousand dollars an acre; the
whole property brought <45,500 whioh is an ave
rage of <332 per acre for property neaiiy two
miles from the centre of tbe city.
“This valuable property has been purchased by
gentlemen from different parts of this State and
Alabama, for the purpose oi erecting residences
thereon tor their own occupancy—making it the
‘West End’ of Atlanta.”

Mobile Threatened. —A correspondent of the
Pnilsuelptia Press, writing from Ship Island, un
der date of Aug. 30, says :
It is whispered that 2000 troops, under Brig,
Gen. Arnold, will attack Mob'le before many days
have elapsed. Doubthss, the marines, with Ad
miral Farragut’s squadron willhaveaa opportuni
ty to participate in the exbilirating sport. It
would only be an act of charity to the poor fel
lows, who have been cooped up on shipboard for
so many months. As to whether the attack will
prove successful, I cannot say, but rightly man
aged, I firmly believe it will, and ay belief is
snared by many of my comrades.
SoppJSe* lor the A-ioy.
We have heretofore d;i retort attention to t! e
necessity rrMing ot the people at home, for pu>
viding clotuing tor the soldiers ia tfco field. Pri
vate 1= tets assure us that ihe destitution prevail
ing among the soldiers is painful. Men are with. ,
out shoes or blankets—even many, of the officer*
are ragged, nurt *lie general condition o! the army
m respect to clothing would be a disgracs upon
tin; people oi the Ocnfedeiacy if they wers aware
ci n and used m. exert., as to improve it.
The bya.fcji tuaugiu usd atihe commencement
■.tike war was whoi . wrong. Voluntary tcoG.
nations supplied its d.fecis for r time but for i
regular and certain r :source they were not to ho
dc-pauded on. Wh-.a iha duly of clothing the
the troops fe.i wholly upon the Confederate gov
eroment.it3 moans iu te found ina-Jaquate to the
task. We are expel vneirg the consequences oi
its inability. It would have besn far better if each
State had been required to clothe its own ireops.
The work would havebssn much hstder dovie ar.d
fcy organizing a clothing bureau in eaefc Stats
instead of concentrating the whnlo business at
Richmond, mater: : ! could hare been math more
cheaply and abundantly obtained.
Voluntary conir.fcutions of cloSning must be
continued, if w" would not see our soldiers perish
iu the inclement climate of Virginia. The elfoi te
oi Lilt? domed-, rule G.ivernme .thave proved fail
ures. Hoaroo K3 evorythiag suitable for vriut-r
clothing w, our people mart coutiuua the Four, e
of praiseworthy self-denial and mast devote every

a coKUiission to enquire into and arak known tile

U be relieved so lar ac the ability of our people
ex to ads.
Another tVay-Sldc R.-ur.
We give place, with pleasure, to tho following
uotioe of an institution established at Union Point,
for the benefit cf sick tbs and wounded soldieis.
Wo shall soon have a largo influx of wounded,
from the late battles; and though tns ladies along
the Georgia Railroad have been unremitting iu
their exertions, wo warn them that still greater
demands will ba made upon their benevolence —
Cot greater, however, than will be cheerfully re
sponded to. We have lately witnessed the man
ner in which the ladies along the rout flock to the
depots, even iale at night, with tho enquiry, ‘‘Are
there any aick or wounded soldiers on board ?”
uad the gratitude with which their offers of serv
ice btiva been received. The ladies actually seem
ed to feel disappointment when they could find no
sufferer on whom to exercise their charities, and
ro dispose of their colfee, biscuit, and chicken fix
ings :
UsroN Point, Ga. R. R.
A Way-Side hospital has just been erected at
this place by the iadies. The Athens branch
leudimg cif from this point, affording but one trip
during the dry, left the sick aDd wounded sol
diers who came by the night trains, and
were travelling in that direction, 12 or 15 hours,
without attention or comfort. These augela of
mercy set to work for thair rjl es, and within
three days, they have a suitable bouse fixed,
with beds, and raised several hundred dollars to
purchase fool, and are cow giving their personal
attention to v.ik and wounded soldiers on ineir
homeward jour tey. The Physician ot the place,
has voluntarily pledeed bis astistance when
necessary. Get the afflicted soldier know that
he may find himself cared for at Union Point.
Ths Condition of our Abut. —No stronger ap
peal for aid for our really suffering Army in Vir
ginia could bo given than tho letter ot “P. W. A.’
in the .Savannah Republican, which we publish
to-day. II is statements, painful Rs'hey are, must
be believed. The condition of our brave soldiers
who have Mtrvn a late rigorous campaign, is
i''ruble, and something should at one*
. Oeue u. relieve their pressiugncceMrftiea. Eve
ry heart will thrill witb emotion, aud every eye
moisten, w hen that letter is road. We earnestly
call attention to it. Let us be “ instant in action,’
and send forward to those shivering ranks, cloth
i u • rToee, hi- ikets, and ail thut is needed to
make' 1 or. ble. Gan we sit down cosily
■i id ci ~ r i.- our warm firesides the coming
winter t S t that those who era de.endiug

among us so cold hearted. The impor-BUce of
this call for help cannot be over estimated.

this evil li can be easily done, if each will con

Llacoln’i Proclumntio.il
This document, the test desperate resort of the
Federal Government, seems r.hout to cnr.se more
trouble and dissatisfaction at the North than dis
may at the South. It is eminently of tbe charac
ter of that old musket commemorated by tho post,
which when
"Weil aimed at duck cr plover,
Bore wide, and kicked its owner over.”
Not only are the moderate conservatives who
have always opposed Lincoln and his war policy,
disgusted by the proclamation, hut those who
have hitherto unscrupulous!/ supported him, like
the New York Herald and its cl que, are murmur
ing. They see in this attack, if it is successful,
upon tbe institutions of tbe .South, nothing but
ruiu for themselves, and an end to tbe rich har
vests they have reaped from the products of
.Southern labor. It will lose Lincoln many friends,
and gain him none but a few fanatics in Old and
New England, to conciliate whom it wasdesigned
As to the laboring miiEses,.they will feel no inoli—
nation'to support a policy designed to place them
in competition with negro labor, and to take the
bread from themselveE and familic-E.
The effect ut the South wiii he only to increase
the enmity and abhorrence of Black Republican
rule. The designs they have hitherio masked un
der a cloak of eortservutiaia ire developed. The clo
ven foot appears. W e are warned, hut Lot alarmed.
Tha proclamation is a more declaration of dc-iigns
well known long to have been entertained and
carried into effect whatever the Federal Li -rie* I
have penetrated. It is in reality ot great benefit I
to us as demonstrating to those who fondly hoped I
that tbe promises of the Federal generate to re
spect the rights ot property, will not hereafter be
regarded. It will convince the wavering men of
the border States that their only safety is undsr
the Confederate banter. As for the more South
ern States their angwer to Lincoln, will be similar
to that of Leonidas when the Persian demanded
his arms. If you want our slaves, some and
take them if you can.

Haro Winter. —It is auid that a heavy persim

low. If each be the case we may look out for
squalls the coming winter, beoause we have never
seen a more plentiful persimmon crop than the

another indication of a very cold winter. Let
everybody prepare fora severe winter.
