We are sending accounts to all our subscribers, who are in arrearages, for subscription, and we nope all will promptly respond. We cannot buy an article in the newspaper business except for cash. Those who wish to continue their subscription, can now- do so, by paying up old scores, and one year in advance. We believe that all, or nearly all, of our subscribers, only need to know what they owe, to pay it up promptly. We are very anxious to adopt the cash system, and we can do so if those who are indebt ed will settle their indebtedness. Let us have our money, and then we can buy paper, ink, &c., and go ahead. PLAIN AM) SEXNIBIiK TALK. We copy two articles over the sig nature of James N. Bethune, which we commend to the attention of every reader of this paper. lie tells the truth, the plain unvarnished truth.— We might say more, but the General has said so well what we bad to say, that we leave the whole field to him. We hope he will continue his plain talk. It may fall in stony places, but he lias done his duty, and we our’s, let the consequences be what they may. If the producers, who hoard, their provisions, and refuse to sell be cause they do not like Confederate money, can read Gen. Bethune’s talk with a quiet conscience, then, verilly, are we “sold to the Dutch.” HOV. K. II. IIEI.I.'g LETTER. We would call the attention of our people everywhere to the evil com plained of by Air. Hill. It appears to be a mournful and serious fact that not more than one-half of those who wear the uniform and draw pay as soldiers are ever found in the Army when there is any fighting to be done. You can find them in hotels, in Bail- road cars, everywhere but in the right place. It is said if one-half of the Virginia amt the Sonth. The Richmond Examiner, iu its com ments on the invasion of Georgia, thus ex presses itself as to the result: “Nor will the Gulf States be subjugated by the loss of one battle or twenty battles, unless they are inhabited by a very diffeient breed from that which peoples Virginia.” . We entirely agree with the Examiner in its opinion, and heartily endorse the com pliment so deservingly bestowed upon the People of the good old Commonwealth of Virginia. No people on the earth sprang from a nobler stock than the Virginiahs, and all through this cruel war they hat e occupied a conspicuous place in the pictute. No State has had so much to fear from a War with the l'ankees. The results hare proven how well founded those apprehen sions were. From the Potomac to Rich mond—from the Valley of the Shenandmh to the Ocean, her beautiful and fertile lauds have been made a waste-howling wilder GG!K. BBAGGS FAREWELL ORDER. Dalton, Dec. 2d.—The following order has been issued from headquar ters: General Order, ) No. 214. \ Upon renewed application to the President his consent has been obtain ed for the relinquishment of the com mand of this army. It is accordingly transferred to Lieut. Gen. Hardee. The announcement of this sepera- tion is made with unfeigned regret. An association of more than two years which bind together a commander and his trusted troops, cannot be sev ered without deep emotion. For a common cause, dangers shared on ma ny hard fought fields have cemented bonds which time can never impair. The circumstances which render this step proper will be appreciated by every good soldier and true patriot. 'The last appeal the General has to ness. Elegant mansions have been dc- make to the gallant army which has stroyed or defaced—old family cemeteries and churches desecrated and dismantle!— men of great wealth been reduced toab- ject poverty—yet there is no complaint to be heard—no croaking about the War—but a spirit bold, defiant, indomitable—allper- vading, universal. Grand, glorious, idd Virginia ! Oh, that-Georgia, a portion of whose territory is now passing through the same fiery ordeal, may prove worthy of a sisterhood, in the same family with A ir- ginia. We have heard our soldiers say repeat edly that they have felt proud of fight ing for Virginia, so much admiration do they feel for her people. They tell us, that, iu sections of Northern Virginia, where the enemy have destroyed all the property of the wealthiest citizens, whose land has been tramped over a dozen times by both our army and tho enemy—old white headed men are full of patriotism— cheering on our boys, and dividing with them the last crust of bread they had in the world; while the women would bless them in their progress, and, with tears in their eyes,and comforts in their hands,urge them on to still more glorious and honora ble victories over the rapacious and cruel foe. Well may the Examiner say that the people of the Gulf States will not be sub jugated by one or twenty defeats, unless they arc inhabited by a different breed from j from Missionary Ridge, but the army that which peoples Virginia. is still intact and in good heart ; our j losses were small and were rapidly re- i placed. The country is looking to XT «**»»}. j vou with painful interest. I feel lean Next Thursday Dec r 10th, is the day j ' e , y up0U y 0U . TIie wea k tide need to so long nobly sustained him, is to give his successor that cordial and gener ous support so essential to the success of your arms. In that successor, you have a veteran, whose brilliant repu tation you have aided to achieve. To the officers of my general staff’ who have so long zealously and successful ly struggled against serious difficulties to support the army and myself is due, in a great degree, what little success and fame we have achieved. Bidding them and the army an affectionate farewell, they have the blessings and prayers of a grateful friend. BRAXTON BRAGG. On assuming command Lieut. Gen. Hardee issued the following General Order to the soldiers of the Army of Tennessee: “General Bragg having been reliev ed from duty with this army, the com mand has devolved upon me. The steady purpose—the unflinching cour age and unsullied patriotism of the distinguished leader who has shared your fortunes for more than two years, will long be remembered by the army and the country he served so well. I desire to say on assuming com mand that there is no cause for dis couragement. The overwhelming numbers of the enemy forced us back gia to prosecute the present war with the utmost vigor and energy. 12.

A Home Thrust.—About two years ago a cabal was got up in this city against General Beauregard. A General, now out of the army—a good and gallant and brave man—was in directly asked to join it, and made this reply: “I cannot be bis antagonist, but I would faiu be Ins rival.” Brave and beautiful words, spoken in the right place, at the right time. This anecdote we have just heard on good authority, and the General is Gusta- vus W. Smith.—Southern Punch. McNeill’s Last Capture.—-Captain McNeill’s achievement was accomplished on the lGth inst, with a force of 111 men between Burlentown and Williamsport, Western Virginia—at both of which pla ces were considerable bodies of Federal forces. The train consisted of eighty wagons, with commissary and sutler’s stores, boots and shoes and clothing, guar ded by 120 cavalry and infantry. Wo look 34 prisoners, including five negroes, and 24-5 horses, but could get off none cf the wagons, as Averill pursued with GOO cavalry from Petersburg, in Hardy, to Lost River, where he gave up tho pursuit. appointed by the Governor for observance by our people as a day of Fasting, Humil iation and Prayer. Never did our people need the favor of God more than at this time. Let us humiliate ourselves, ask for giveness for our sins, and beseech the bles sings of tho Almighty. be cheered by the constant successes of the victors of Shiloh, Perryville, Murfreesboro’ and Chickamauga, arid requires sucli stimulant to sustain their courage and resolution. Let the past take care of itself. We care most to secure the future. Signed W. J. HARDEE, Lieut. General. Tjnt<‘Mt Ncvm.

The I'crtj latest news, to the time we go to press, Monday,® is, that Knoxville is still beseiged by Longstreet. Gen’l L. , „ _ _ , , , dispatched by courier to Gen’l Vaughn, absentees from Gen. Bragg s army had that> jf hc could hol(1 the enemy in check a been present at the battle of (. natta- p ew da y 8 a t Loudon, he could manage nooga, the victory would have been ours. Our army was defeated because one-half of the officers and soldiers were absent, many of them without any good excuse. Some remedy must be found for this great evil or our cause is lost. Soldiers must know that the eyes of the community are ■on those who are absent without cause from their Regiments, during an im portant battle. Such absentees will he marked and remembered. It is due to those who remain and fight that these absentees should be sent back to their duty. Let all who expect to share the honors share also in the per ils and hardships of the war. Tho Now*. Gen’l Bragg, at his own request, lias been relieved of his command* Grant’s Army has fallen back to Chickamauga sta tion, and entrenching. Gen’l Hardee who •commands in Gen’l Bragg’s place,is at Dal ton. The enemy has sent a strong force to the relief of Burnside, who is sorely pressed by Longstreet. The latest ac counts to Saturday last, were that Long street had carried a part of the city by storm, and had demanded its surrender We fear Grant’s forces will reach Knox ville in time to save Burnside; if so, then Longstreet will have to get out of the way as he best can. Gen’l Morgan and staff have escaped from the Ohio Penitentiary, and are in Canada. Tho Herald puts Grant’s lossc3 before Chattanooga, in the various battles and skirmishes, at 40,000. Meade after making a bold feint to attack Gen’l Lee, has retired beyond the Rapidan, having accomplished his object of preventing re inforcements being sent to Bragg. No change in tho situation at Charleston. Be- •fore gbing to press, we hope to hear some thing satisfactory from Geu’l Longstreet, whose situation is thought to be critical i.t this time.
