I make an earnest appeal to the people of
Georgia to furnish the troops of this command
with leather suitable for making shoes. We
have established a shoeahop in camp, have
made all our own tools, including lasts, knives,
awl-, Ate.; indeed we have every thing necessa
ry tor the successful manufacture of shoes, in-
cluding a large number of experienced work
men. but no leather. This the generous people of
our State wo look to for. We propose to make
shoes e lough, within the next sixty days, if
we can get the leather, to keep the command iu
shoes until next winter. By your generous
and liberal aid, we can easily accomplish our
undoi taking. We have built a large suoe shop,
and can work fifty to Seventy-five h inds daily,
if you will let us have the leather.
If all who are able will send uh one side of
leather, the bravo men of this command, will
not again suffer for want of shoes.
Remember while you sit by your biasing
fires, around your happy hearthstones, well
clad and shod, that the veterans of Cbickima
comico, South .Mills, King’s .School House,
Mechanicsville, Gaines’ Mills, Malvern llill,
Warreriton springs, Manassas, Harper’s Ferry,
Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville,
Gettysburg and Manassas Gap, arc standing
watch and waul for your safety, barefoot and
in rags, in the frosts and snow of a Virginia
winter.
Then let there bo no delay in this matter ;
send in your contributions, great and small, at
once to the Georgia Belief and Hospital - Asso
ciation at Augusta, who will forward to us in
camp.
I appeal to the noble women of Georgia to
aid us in 1 his enterprise. Will each ono of
them act as our agent in procuring supplies of

Escape of one Hundred and nine Commission
ed Yankee officers From the Liudy Prison.
OuP of those extraordinary escapades of pris
oners of war which have been very frequent
on both sides, occurred at the Libby Prison,
between the hours of darkness on Tuesday e
veniug and daylight yesterday morning. Out
of the one thousand and fifty odd officers coo
fined in the prison the day previous, one hun
dred and nine were found to be missing. Lieu
tenant La, Touche and Major Turner made a
thorough inspection of the basement of the pris
on, which slope'downward from Cary street
towards the rivi* dock. A stairway, looting
down from tiro first floor, has long ago been
boarded over, and there was no communication
from above. At the base of the East wall, and
about twenty feet from the Cary street frout,
was discovered a tunnel, the entrance to winch
was hidden by a large rock, which fitted the
aperture exactly. This stone, rolled away
from the mouth of the sepulchre, revealed an
avenue, which it was at once |conjocturedled to
the outer world beyond A small negro boy
was sent into the tunnel on a tour of explora
tion, ami by flic time Major. Turner and Lieu
tenant I,a Touche .gained the outside of the
building a shout from the negro uunounced his
arrival at the terminus of the subterranean
route, tts passage lay directly beneath the
tread of three sentinels, who walked the breadth
of the East end of the prison across a paved
alley way, a distance of more than fifty feet,
breaking up inside of the enclosure in the rear
ot Carr's warehouse. So nicely was the dis
tance gauged, that the inside of the enclosure
was struck precisely, which hints strongly of
outside measurement and assistance. Tnroiigh
connection once opened the prisoners were ena
bled to worm themselves through the tunnel,
one by one, aud emerging at least sixty feet
distant from any sentinel post, to betake thom
selves otf singly, through an arched gateway,
to some appointed rendezvous. To reach the
entrance of the tunnel it was necessary for the
prisoners to cut through the hospital room autl
the closed stairway leading into the basement.
All the labor must have been performed ,it
night, was closed up or cleared away before
the morning light. Tho tunnel itself is a work
of several months, being about three feet in
diameter and at least sixty feet in length, with
curvatures worked arouud rook.
Eleven colonels, seven majors, thirty-two
captains and fifty-nine lieutenants, making one
hundred and nine in all, have thus gained their
liberty. Os this number, only four have been
recaptured.
Couriers were early despatched in every di
rection, and the pickets double posted on all
the roads aud bridges. It is quite evident that
the escaping pi isonors have scattered and are
laying up in'the houses or hiding places pro
vided for them by the disloyal element to be
found in and about Richmond. \v’e believe
the largest number of them are yet in
aud will seek to steal off, one by one in various
guises other than that of tho Yankee.—Rich

Fernando Wood. —lu a recent debate in the
Tinted States House ot' Representatives, the do
legato from Utah, named Kinney, undertook to
assail Fernando Wood. He said:
‘•The formidable military force sent to Utah,
at an expeiuo of $50,000,000, while the traitor
Floyd was Secretary of War under Buchanan,
was for the purpose of inaugurating the state
of aifairs now existing, namely,'‘to prepare the
way for Rebellion, and to thus weaken the
Forth." Utah has never been in Rebellion,
and the people there are not. as the gentleman
is, in sympathy with Rebels.
It was said that the recent riots in New York
by which the streets flowed with the blood ol'
innocent women and children, rested, to a great
extent, on the shoulders of the gentleman.

Sesatob Wauceb's Speech at MjN-rfloa
nH.v.—At the recent complimentary dinner giv
en at Montgomery to Gen. Bragg, Judge IValk
er delivered a speech in reply to some highly
complimentary remarks from Judge Phelan.
The following are the concluding paragraphs :
We all long for peace, Mr. President; but no
man at this board, I trust, wiliwillingly live to
seethe peace which will follow subjugation.
Endless war, with all its horrors, were better
than such a peace as that. If, indeed the peo
ple oi these Confederate States are doomed to
final defeat in their attempt to maintain the
right of self-government—if it is to be their
hard fate to add another member to the wretch
ed family of conquered races, no survivor of
this struggle, with a heart of flesh beneatii his
ribs, would ever desire to penetrate the secrets
of the future which the peace that must follow
subjugation will have in store for us, and for
those who are to come after us. For, if he is
at all acquainted with human history, or human
nature, he will know that he would behold in
that dark future such scenes ol suffering, hu
miliation and degradation tor himself his chil
dren, and his children's children, as would
make him curse the day that he was oom, anil
call usxMi the mountains to cover him. Finding
ordinary language inadequate for the purpose,
he will have to call upon a prophet ol old for
words to describe the vision which such a future
will present to his sight. “Theearth monrneth
and languished; Lebanon is ashamed and hewn
down. Sharon is like a wilderness. They that
did feed delicately are desolate iu the streets:
they that were brought up in scarlet embrace
dunghills. They ravished the women of Zion
and the maids in the city of Judah. They took
the young men to grind, and the children fell
under the wood. The joy of our heart is
ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
The crown has fallen from our head.”
Whether the peace which shall close this war
shall be the glorious and honorable peace which
independence brings, or the ignominious peace
which follows subjugation depends not upon
our enemies, but upon ourselves. The final
issue of t ills contest will determine what man
ner of men we are. If we are indeed worthy
of liberty, if wo are resolved to be tree, the
day of deliverance and independence, though
it may he deferred, is certain. Wc have iu the
territory still occupied by our arms twice the
population and more than ten times the re
sources our ancestors had, when, through great
er privations than any we have endured, they
woa their way to independence: and if the peo
of these Cou'ederatc States are not prepared to
shame the lineage from whence they sprung,
lost battlefields and overrun districts will not
shake their firm resolve, or alter their fixed

The Dan ish Question in the German Diet.—
The following ministerial manifesto sots forth
the nature and grounds of the action taken by
Austria and Prussia against Denmark, and now
threatening a war. The specific demand made
upon Ihe Danish Government was the revoca
tion of an act which proclaimed Schleswig an
inseparable part of the Danish monarchy.—
This, Denmark lias refused. The manifesto is
dated Vienna, Jan. 15, 1804 :
In the sitting of yesterday the German Diet
rejected tire Austro Prussian motion respecting
Schlesw’g. From the politic il ferment which
has prevailed in the second rate and small Ger
man States since the death of Frederick VII,
such an event was to be foreseen. When the
two great German powers proposed to the
Bund to empower them to occupy Schleswig,
in order to prevent the illegal incorpoiation of
that duchy *in Denmark, it was with the patri
otic intent to allow the whole confederation to
take a share in the honor of upholding its ac
quired rights. As has above been said, the
majority in the German Diet declined to co
operate with the great powers. Tlie debate in
the Diet and the motions of some of tie Ger
man States show that theie is an intention to
oversted the boundaries of federal territory—to
go beyond tlie lawful sphere of the action of
the Bund.
In the year 1851 the leading German Pow
ers in the interest of Germany, entered info an
agreement with Denmark which gives to them
an unquestioned right to demand of Denmark
the repeal of cot tain measures and laws which
concern a country that does not to in a part of
the federal territory. What the Bund Ins de
clined to do, Austria and Prussia, as parties to
the agreement entered into in 1851, arid as Eu
ropean Powers, will, hr tbo interest of Germa
ny, take in hand. As parties to the above
mentioned agreement, and as European Pow
ers, Austria and Prussia have a right, the other
Federal States having refused to act in concur
rence with them, to uphold theinterests of Ger
many ; a right which no other German State
in its capacity of member of the Bund can
claim. Wc ba> e read and heard that there is
a question of taking a simitar step without the
co-operation of the two great Powers, which
would be to carry out resolutions taken by the
majority of the States in the Bund, although
the object of those resolutions is foreign con
quest.
As defenders and protectors of tho integrity
of Germany, Austria and Prussia- cannot allow
tho Bund to have recourse to measures which
would be fraught with danger. The proposal
looccupy Schleswig on behalf of the Duke of
Augusteuburg is an encroachment on the part
of the Bund, which ought to maintain its ex
clusively defensive character. Whoever is un
moved by the passions of the day will acknowl
edge that the po icy of the two great powers is
perfectly loyal, and thhit the Bund is in dauger
of acting aggressively by displaying a want of
respect for territorial boundaries. The middle
and small German States, being for the moment
blind to the possible consequences of their pol
icy, the two great German powers, as the faith
ful guardians ol the integrity and interests of
Germany, must take into their own hands the
regulation of the relations between Schleswig
and Germany.
Rosecrans’ On toiAi. Report. —The New York

cial rep ;rt of Gen Rosecrans of tho battle of
Cbickair.auga.

the stretching of his line, so much complained
of. was a part of the strategy which accomplish
ed the main purpose,
IPs own army was quite too small for the
work he had in baud, being largely outnumber
ed by the infantry force of the enemy. Hence,
much more depended upon active and correct
handling of his men than if his forces had been
sufficient. It is plain, too, thatwhile his dispo
sitions were made to his mind for the first day
of the fight, ami so succeeded, that on the sec
ond day there was something of blundering by
somebody, and that to this the enemy owed ail
the advantage they gain. and. It would noFbe
strange jf it has to be distributed somewhat;
nor that it should prove to be due to the ex
treme tension of brain and muscle to which all
parties had" been s- long subjected. Men bodily
overworked cannot always be themsetve-s. Tho

whom 2,500 were wounded. J ’
4 There was no general defeat of the armv
on either day. _ One division, a part of two brig
ades, and a regiment, were routed, and no more.
A.l the rest of the army was in position on the
second night. General Rosecraus attributes
the loss of so much artillery to the broken
nature of the gronad, which made it impossible
to get it off under the presence of superior
forces. 1

Lici t. Gt.v. Loses f ftSET. —'fko following j
sketch of this distinguished and meritorious j
officer, which wc find in the “Southern Illus I
trated News ’ will be read with great interest 1
by our people. No officer in the Cub federate
service won a more endearing representa
tion for skill and gallantry than Gen. Lqng
street ;
The name of no officer in the Confederate
service has become more familiar to the general
reader than that of Lieutenant-General James
Longstieet. The number of important conflicts
in which he has been engaged since the first
shock of arms at Manassas, and the ability and
gallantry he has displayed in each, has won
for him a proud position in the fiont rank ol
distinguished Confederate officers.
James Longstreet was born in the State of
South Carolina, and is about forty-three years,
of age. For many years past he has been a
citizen of Alabama. He entered the Military,
Academy at West Point in 1838, as a cadet
from South Carolina, and graduated in the
class of 1832. so celebrated for the number iff
its distinguished members. Loners!reet’s grade
was number fifty’-four in the class, which con
tained about sixty members. Among his class
mates we notice the names of Pope and Rose -
crans of the Federal army, and D. 11. Hill,
Lovell. G. W. Smith, Van Dorn, M. L. Smith.
Rains, McLaws. R 11. Anderson, in the Conted
erate army. We venture the assertion that
notwithstanding the low grade of Longstreet
in his class, that there is not one of the above
named officers who would not willingly ex
change reputations with James Longstreet. who
has justly won the title of “hard fighter.”
Oil the Ist of July, 1843, General Longstreet
took liis position in the United States in uiy, as
a Brevet Second Lieutenant ot the Fourth Reg
iment of Infantry, in which he served until
March, 1845, when he was transferred to the
Fifth Regiment. He was promoted to the
rank of First Lieutenant in February, 18-17,
having previously been distinguished in the
battle of Monterey. From June, 1847. to
July, 1847, he served as Adjutant in his Reg
iment. He was breveted Captain for “gal
lant and meritorious conduct” in the battles of
Contreras and Churubusco, August 20th, 1817-
and Major for gallantry in the battle of El
Molino del Ray, September. Btli, 1847. He
was highly distinguished and severely wounded
in the assault on Chepultepec, September 13th,
1847. It will thus be seen that the career ot
Lieutenant Longstreet, in the Mexican war,
was one of uncommon brilliancy, and that he
came out of the war witli an established repu
tation for courage and ability at the early age
of twenty-seven. He became a Captain in De
cember, 1852, and Paymaster, with the rank
of Major, in July, 1858.
General Longstreet was first brought prom
inently before the Southern public at the bat
tle of Bull Run, on the 18th ot July, 1861,
where lie commanded, and subsequently at the
battle of Manassas, July 21st, 1861, in which
. he commanded a brigade Under Gen. Beaure
gard. lie was afterwards made a Major-Gen
eral under Joseph E. Johnston, and now holds
the position of Lieutenant General, and com
mands a separate army, which is successfully
engaged in the defence of East Tennessee.-
A Wedding Party Brought to Grief. — A
correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, after
narrating the outrages committed by Averitl
and his band on their retreat after the late
raid, concludes his letter with the following
amusing yet unfortunate incident:
Few tragedies are without their comic aud
grotesque interludes. And Averill’s devastat
ing march had its farce. On the vary top of
Price’s or Eleven Mile Mountain as it is some
times called, dwells a widow woman with a
considerable family, including several grand
children. She seems to doty the elements of
the most tempestuous height I know of. Up
to this elevated position, where everything
may be supposed to be pure and nice from its
thorough ventilation, a romantic justice of the
peace had carried his affections aud fixed them
ou a fair daughter of the widow. His aspira
tions met with the higuest favor, and on the
very night of Averill’s advent their mutual
loves culminated in a wedding least celebrated
amidst the wild shrieking an I howlings of the
tempest on the mountain. The festivity had
progressed to the fourth degree with uncom
mon energy. The gentler sex were paying
t heir respects to the supper table, aiul.soiffb of
the more vigorous of the mountaineers were
employing their time with a powerful jig. A
famous Boniface from tho valley below had
thrown off coat, jacket and shoes, and was
spreading himself. Indeed, the dance promis
ed to rival that of Tam O’Sh .liter beheld in
Kirk Alloway the locality and surroundings,
an I the tempest, all favored a scene of no
smalt dramatic effect. But just then—oh, un
timely event—the Yankees obtruded upon the
scene and dissipated all its joys, and termiuin
ated for the night ail its physical recreations.
They ate up all ihe supper—took some thirty
horses, ridden up by the guests from the “val
leys below”—aud carried off as prisoners the
male portion of the guests, including the hero
of the dance, and, worst of all, the bridegroom
besides ! To the inexpressible mortification of
the prisoners they saw one of the ladies of the
wedding |a: ty kiss a Yankee for a cupfull of
coffee, which lie had offered to any one of
them who would bestow such a mark of favor
oil li'm. The prisoneis were marched off, and
detained a day or two before they were per
m'll ted to return, on foot. Thus ended the
comedy of the terrible mountain raid of Aver
ill—a warning to wedding parties on the bor
der to look out for Yankees.

Tut: Creoles ok Louisiana. —A Massachusetts
chaplain, Rev. Mr. Hopworth, writes of the
Louisiana Creoles :
Just beyond Carrolton is an immense and
magnificent estate, owned by one of those Cre
oles. His annual yield of sugar is fifteen hun
dred hogsheads. He might have taken the oath
of allegiance and thns saved his properly; but
he would not. The work of depredation com
menced. but he bore it without a murmur.
First we took his wagons, harness,and mules;
he said nothing, but scowled most awfully.
Next we emptied his stables of horses for the
cavalry service, he did not have even a pony
left, and was compelled to trudge along on foot;
still nothing was said. Next we took his en
tire crop, ground it in ins own sugar-house,
used his barrels for the molasses and his hogs
heads for the sugar, and marked the head of
each ‘-U, S.” not a murmur. Then came his
negroes, three hundred and more, home serv
ants and all, took it into their woolly beads to
! come within our camp lines. The Creole was i
most completely stripped; still he stood in the j
midst of the ruins cursing Abe Lincffin, and |
wishing that he had eight instead of four sons
in the rebel army, {

A report lias been put iu circulation in va

and prove that he ever bought a sock from
this Department, that was either knit by the
Ladies, or purchased for issue to said tioops.
This report has been invented on the one
