Awnke to Danger null to Wnlr.
The fo’ear upon which we have just altered is des-
‘ined to be big with the fate of the peo)le ot the Con
federate States. No thoughtful niui tan smyey the
iel.I from our present stund-point witlimt being con-
cious of an overwhelming sense of tie rtoieeutonsness
of this crisis. Our pathway tnrough the. year just
begun is beset with dangers, which only the wisdom of
true men can encounter uud overrane. Blunders in
the Cabinet and blunders in the field will be fatal;
and yet, thank.Heaven! there are broadcast around
us the elements of salvation which a rnestei hand could
gather up and grasp ami weave info a crowning chap-
:ct of Independence. From the nettle of danger the
dower of victory can be plucked b} the hand and the
iiiind cqnalto tlie undertaking.
And what is our greatest peril ? Clearly the apathy
of the people, their weariness of the trials and priva
tions of the tremendous struggle ; nml. unfortunately,
this lagging of energy; this relaxation of labor, super
venes at a moment when our circumstances uemand a
last and supreme effort. If now, we could see around
us the patriotic spirit which burned so brightly two
years ago— >1 now, as then, we saw the recruiting Hag
waving for volunteers—the drum beuting to arms, the
old men buckling the sword open their sons, the wo
men enthusiastic in the war, and plying their needles
ami exerting their talents and accomplishments in
equipping companies for the field and presenting them
with battle flags under which to inarch against the
enemy—if the universal asp .ration as then, was now,
to the field, to the camp, to arms, instead of wliat it is,
ive should have no misgiving of the issue, and could
proudly feel that we already had the right to exclaim,
"1 am a Confederate citizen.”
The Congress of the States is moving with an ener
gy equal to the crisis, bnt its acts area dead letter, un
less breathed upon and inspired by the spirit of a pat
riotic people. If thiiispirit had existed, there had been
110 necessity forthis stringent legislation. If the con
scription age is extended b yond its original limit, and
if the man who bus furnished a subslitute is now cad
to the field, as a measure of overrulling public necessi
ty, it is because of the decay i uthe patriotism of the
people. If our men and women had continued to glow
with those sacred fires which marked tlie early period
of I he war, our armies had not dwindled to a point
which made its recruiting by extraordinary means nec
essary to the public safety And this for the reu.-on
that,if'the skulkers from camp, the feigned sick, the
cowardly deserters, and without leave, were all at
their posts our Generals would-be strong enough iu
the spring to drive Grant accross the Ohio, and Meade
into his fortifications around Washington-
Just before Gen. Bragg yielded bis late command,
but forty-three percent, of his enrolled strength was
present for duty. Where were the rest—more than
one half of his army! Let public opinion at home
answer thequestion—let the relatives of deserters who
have helped to hide them from duty and the search
of authority answer. Let the Surgeons who give
facile certificates of disability, and allow tlie hospitals
to he encumbered with “old soldiers’’ feigning sickness
—let the weak parents, whose natural affection for
their sous overcome their seuse of duty to t heir coun
try, and the wives who urge their husbands to come
back from the field—let the young women whose
smiles are ready for the recreant officer who spends
his time incities, while his brothers are enduring the
hardships of camp life, or bleeding in buttle—let all
tlifcse answer the question. The truth must not be
disguised—thore is Ueuiorralization among the people
—a general disposition to shirk the dangers and re
sponsibilities which belong to ail alike, ami to trust to
“something to turn up’’ to save their souls and bodies
from the deep demonstration of Federal suhjugation.
And this people had better consider their position
at once. Freedom is a plant that grows not without
painful cultivation. It is hardened by trial and must
lie watered with the blood of the brave ami the tears
of the innocent. If your piles of Confederate notes
which you are massing with so much pains, are worth
more tlian your persouul liberties, and the honor and
independence of your country, then go on to amass
them—the year 1861 will find you a slave to a Yankee
master, ami your gains not worth the paper 011 which
they are printed. You have it in your power to save
both your country and your property, but you eau
only do it by giving your thoughts, your labors, your
prayers And your arms to your country.
Arouse, uieu and women of the South ! Arouse to
breast the storm of danger which is rising to break
upon you in the spring campaign ! Show that the war
like spirit, the boasted chivalry of a sunDy laud, sup
posed to breed higli-toued men, horn uud fitted for
freedom, is not all an empty dream—that your man
hood and your womanhood have not been worn out
and exhausted in three years struggle, and that your
eight millions of the descendants of sires of’76, can
maintain a struggle for priceless liberty at least half as
long as these sires did against the first power of the
Earth. Think of your country, your dear country, your
native or adopted land, where you were bora and have
lived, uud been murtured, and then contemplate it un
der the iron hoof of the oppressor. Think that 110 man
may call his roof, however humble, his own and his
home—that no arm will he strong enough to shelter
the woman lie loves, or the daughter of his heart,
against the insults of the conqueror. Think of your
dead—the precious blood that lias been drunk up by
your soil, that the soil might be consecrated to your
freedom. Think of anything else but submission.—
Think at all, and if there is a drop of manly blood to
warm yoursouls. it must bound forward in efforts to be
free, and must freeze in horror at tint possible danger
of being slaves.

A New Religion.—-The Beechers have instituted
a new religion. The liihle has been substantially laid
aside, and a series of dogmas, originating 111 tlie dis
eased intellects of a fanaticial pulpit, substituted in
its stead. Tlie 'Beechers have remodeled and brought
forward in a new dress the ancient dogmas about a
previous existence. They add another eternity to the
eelesiustical domain. 'J he inventor, Rev. Chailes
Beecher, (brother to Henry Ward) was recently tried
before a council of clergymen. 011 the charge of holding
and promulgating heretical doctrines, lie wasadjudg-
ed guilty by the council: but the church ot which lie
was pastor sustained him, as did also Rev. Edward
Beecher and others. I11 the exposition of this new
theology, it will be seen that he takes the part of the
devil, (probabiy because he is black.) and promulgates
other astounding notions. But what will not a Beech
er do, in order to create a sensation ! He holds
that—
“We were all created in a previous world, and were
drawn into apostney by the fallen angels. God then
proposed to create this world as a hospital lor our race,
introduce us here and heal us of sin. It was proposed
to Lucifer to become our redeemer. He refused.—
God then chose a younger brother, who proved willing.
To him was added the Divine nature, and became
among us tlie Christ.
“As it seemed doubtful whether Christ could do this
work that Lucifer refused to do, he (Lucifer) remains
iu Heaven after his refusal, till Christ’s resurrection.—
Lucifer was not expelled while he could raise a doubt
whether this redemption could be accomplished.
Mr. Beecher believed that Lncifer remained in
Heaven till Christ came. Christ was younger than
Lucifer. Christ took the form of an angel in heaven,
and t he human and divine became united. He was for
merly one of the angelic host. Satan was an elder
brother of Christ. 1 am not alone in believing, said
Mr. Beecher, that Lucifer was not expellkd from Hea
ven till the resurrection of Christ.’’

ThkCki-IS.—Dr. Elliott, the patriotic Bishop of
Georgia, in a late sennon preached in Savannah, ex
hibits the alternative before »«, in a few sentences
pregnant with all the fire ota pmphet and patriot.—
These are, indeed, words thru burn :
Forward, my hearers, with our shields locked and
onr trust in God, is our only movement now. It is
too late even to go Packard, We might have goo*
backward a year ago, when oirranny were viebtroun*

keeping at successful b.vy the Hessians of tbe West,
had we been content to boar humiliation tor ourselves
aud degradation for our children.
But mat is no longer left us. It is now victory ar
unconditional submission : submission not to the con
servative and Christian people at the North, but to a
party of infidel fanatics, with an army of needy and
greasy soldiers at tliair backs. Who shall be able to
retain them in their hour of victory! When that lioor
approaches, when the danger shall sewn to be over,
and t he spoils ready to be divided, every outlaw will
rush to fill their ranks, every adventurer will rush to
swell their legions, ns they will sweep down upon tbo
South as the hosts of the Atilla upon tbe fertile fields

You will have an ignoble home overrun by hordes of
insolent slaves and rapacious soldiers. Y’ou will wear
the badge of aconquered race. Pariahs among your
fellow creatures, yourselves degraded, your delicate
wives and gentle children thrust down to menial ser
vice, insulted, perhaps dishonored.
Think you tlmt the victorious hordes, made up in
the large part of the sweepings of Europe, will leave
you anything ? As well might the lamb expect mercy
from the wolf’. Power which is checked and fettered
by a doubtful contest is very different from power
victorious triumphant and irresponsible. Tlie friends
whom you have known and loved at tlie South, who
have sympatliized with von in your trials,and to whom
you might have looked for comfort and protection,
will have enough to do then to take care of themselves.
The surges have to sweep over us will carry them
away in its refluent tide.
Oh ! for the tongue of a prophet, to paint for you
what is before you, unless yon repent and tnm to the
Lord, and realize that “llis hand is upon all them for

alone adequate to describe it: “The earth iuoumet;
and languishcth; Labniinn is aslmtned and hewn down,
Sharon is like a wilderness. They that did feed deli
cately are dosolate in the streets; they that were
brought up in dcarlet embrace dunghills. They rav-
isned the women of Zion and the maids in the cities ot
Judah. They took the young tneu to grind. Tbe joy
of our heart is ceased ; our dance is turned into mourn

Norfolk, Dec. 2S 1S63.
To the Editor of the New York Nms :
The policy of General Nag-lee, during
his brief military rule over the citizens of
Norfolk and vicinity, was marked by so
many courtesies and kind acts, that it was
apparent to the most casual observer, had
he remained to have controlled this depart
ment six months longer, four-fifths of our
population would, under his mild, bene-
iicient sway, long since have earnestly
arrayed themselves on the side of liis Gov
ernment. The grateful results of the law
of kindness were everywhere more mani
fest. Order sprang out of chaos.
No man appealed to him in vain who
had grievances to be redressed. Persons
and property were held inviolate, except
for pressing military purposes ; and justice
was administered with an even hand to
the loyal and disloyal alike, according to
their respective deserts. The m< st hum
ble, without being kept waiting at tbe door
by official menials, bad a ready audience ;
and tbo machinery of Government moved
on, as by clock work. Indeed such was
the ascendancy acquired over the people,
that upon his removal many hot—headed
secessionists declared they was rejoiced
at the contemplated change because be was
fast insinuating himself into the good gra
ces of our people ; making them feel that
the Government, of which he was the
honored representative, still cherished for
her erring sons a feeling of parental kind
ness.
But Mr. Lincoln, or his adviser*, grown
drunk with power, spirited away this good
man. to make room for another, and now
what is our condition ? 1 6peak it in plain
truth. I speak it as Union men from the
beginning speak it. It is a lleign q! Ter

Tlie assessors of the first general Confederate tax
are now drawing towards a conclusion of their labours,
and if tlie accounts we hear of tlie results iu particular
cities and counties be true, and if these results be a
fair sample of w hat will be realized in the Confederacy
at large, the aggregate tax must tie very considerable;
probable not iess than three or four hundred millions
of dollars. The money tax in Lynchburg is stated to
be more than two millions of dofinrs. The same tax
in Washington county, Virginia, bordering on Ten
nessee, exclusive of the tax in kind, will be upwards of
half a million. At this rate, Virginia will pay,in money
and taxes iu kind, very nearly, if not quite, a hundred
millions of dollars. Georgia is larger and more popu
lous by half than tile portion of Virginia Dot overrun
by tlie enemy, and will, doubtless, if these data be
true, pay more tlmu a hundred millions ; possibly as
much as a hundred millions iu money. If the accounts
we have alluded to lie correct, great pains should be
taken to make known tlie fact : for the Government
would, in that ease, be fully aide to carry on the war
without 11 further manufacture of paper money, and
the Confederate currency would at ouce begin to ex
hibit a rapid appreciation. Tlie question of onr ability
to maintain the tinny and carry on the war to any
extent of time would be settled, and Confederate credit
be established at home on an enduring and impregna

in groggeries and other places of questionable pro
priety at the very moment when tne city was un
