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 ly to point to* then bleeding feet, faltered gar ments and gaunt frumes, foi an answer to the un just charge. jVo army on this continent has everaccompliuh ed ii u.uch, or «u.Fared as much aa *he mmy ol Nort .ern Vir t inia within the last three months. At no period during <he first Revolutionary war—, not even at Valley 1 o.gc—did our foretatheia in arms encounter greater hardships or eudurethom inoro uncomplainingly. lluf great as have Loen the trials to which the army has been subjected, they are hardly worthy to he named in comparison with the suflermgo in store for it this winter, uulchii the people of tl e Confederate Staten, everywhere and in what ever circumstances, come to its immediate re lief. Tho man iruat have clothing and shoes tins winter.

Thf.atmy in Virginia ata.nda guard this day, as it win str.nd guard this winter, otn every hearthstone throughout the South The ragged sentinel who may pace his weary rounds this winter on the bleak crura ol the Blue KiJgc, or along ttic.frozen valleys of the dhtinuadoafi and Rappahannock, will ai«o be your sentinels, iny friend, at homo.

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. I had ruaue arrangements to prooure full official hats ot tne oasualtiex in the Georgia, Florida, and Alabama re, intents, t’» well as some account of the performances of the troops trom those States, and regret taat sickness should have prevented me from carrying them out.

From Nashvill* -The Chnttauoog t firftcy says: VVe are again indebted to Cupt. Jdo. at Murfreesboro' for lute Vashville papers. In 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 with our friendc there, hut hope soon to be able to coroniola abetter state of things there uudi v Confederate admtnist ration. Well informed gentlemen tell us that there will be a great deal oi sufl’eriiig auisug the poor ot i 1 ,,. city inis winter oo account oi tile scarcity ami high price of breadatuffs, provisions and fuel, and the almost eoliro absence ul a demand lor labor. It is Biwge’-.v ,1 Unit some systematic ettort b.\ made on the port of the oiliksus who are blessed with a competence, to provide a fund lor the re lief of the poor, mid the suggestion is certainly a good iiuc. A great deal may he done in this w. y to relieve tlicir prtiising wants A fund could be provided with which to purchase such articles a.. ere uecossaiy to s stajn lif-.i, as soon oa communi cation m opened with those portions of the corn, try in which these articles cun ho purchased i! u inuu can fi> raised and invested in this manner, a good supply in ay be got in beaire the severity oi winter seta in, uu.l thus greatly avaaiiorate the suffering we shidi otherwise witi/ess. ) There is anotimr subject iti’this CdUUeCtiob t:. i which attention . douhi be directed, and that .o 1.111.H1J If " « 1 of.

The design is evidently to lorcc the people t . in .-cut iu Uoufeiierato sr-eunties which ai eto be exempt from taxation. The bii! is now under consideration, and as the clone of Hi 3 soss.on is near at hand, and some financial mea sure must bo adopted, it will be nut tied through, and without much deliberation or consideration cf ihc- consequences. Prove t . Richmond Examine!'. 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.

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 on tithei side. Officers tell me that a close in spection of bis position aud works before Puch mond, and a thorough examination of bis move ments from day to day alter the battle commenced did not disclose one solitary mistake or blunder ou bin putt, lie did tbe boat ihai could be done at every point, under the circumstances, and w ith tlm material be bad around him. It is safer to give our enemy credit lor too much ability, then too little. 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. ! Those who were taken, as well an the prisoners I vrbo fell iuto our har.ds ;t Sharpsbnrg, have not I been paroled, but sent ou toward* Uichuiorsd. 1 Ariioitg tlio latter, it is su’d, were several who 1 were captured at Harper’s Ferry, and paroled two ! days before the battle. If nob be the cade, there [ is but one course to us, and that is to hang | every one of them. . The heavy wore oi thecumjmigo js prcuafoy u an end.

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 ity to prevent them from following him.

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.

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 out homes are ia actual want? There is no one among us so cold hearted.

We have been permitted to read a portion of a letter received in this city from Capt. P. J. Wil son, of th.i Wilson Tigert, and it la truly distress - ing to hear of the snfforing which his company are now undergoing for want of clothiog. There is hut eight pair of snoea in the company, <i n dtb» men arc without blankets and neatly destitute of clothiog. We call upon our citizens to remedy this evil li can be easily done, if each will con tribute a email amount. These brave soldiers ought and must be clothed ar,d shod, or they can not tight the battles of their country. Those who led disposed to send articles toiheir relief, will leave them at the store of J. M. Nswbt, ana we hope jt wiii be attended to quickly. 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.
