TO THE WOMEN OF GEORGIA.
State of Geor«ia, )
Quartermaster General’s Office. >
Atlanta, Feb. 5th, 1864. )
A report has been put in circulation in various
portions of the State that the socks knit by the La
dies of Georgia for this Department, have been
sold by me to the troops on the field W’ithout
entering further into the details of this vile and
malicious report, I hereby pronounce the whole
tale to be a malicious FALSEHOOD. I deny,
and challenge the world for proof to the contrary,
that there has ever been a sock sold by this de
partment to a soldier of the Confederate army
since my first appeal to the women of Georgia to
knit for their destitute defenders. I hereby bind
myself to present One Thousand Dollars to
any person, either citizen or soldier, who will
coine forward and prove that lie ever bought a
sock from this Department, that was either knit
by the ladies or purchased for issue to said
troops.
This reoprt has been invented on the one band
by the enemies of our noble boys, who rejoice in
their suffering, and are delighted when they sus
pend the efforts of the noble women in their
behalf. On the other, hand by opponent* of this
department, who forget that inventing their uu-
provokid spirit upon us, they are causing the
troops of their State to march over frozen ground
and tho drifting snow with uncovered andbleed-
ing feet.
Women of Georgia! again I appeal to you.—
This time 1 call up on you to frown down these
vile falshouds. I demand of him- who peddles
the tale the evidence I call for above. Until
that testimony is produced 1 impiety you stay
not your efforts. I assure you in the name of all
that is holy and noble—on the honor of a man
and an officer—that myself or any of my assis
tants have never sold a pair of Socks that are
knit by you. Every pair has been issued to the
destitute troops as a gift, as about 17,000 gallant
sons of the Empire State will gladly bear testimo
ny.
Daughters of Georgia. I still need socks. Re-
quisitions for them are daily pouring in upon me.
I still have yarn to furnish you. I earnestly de
sire to secure a pair of socks for every barefooted
soldier from Georgia. You are my only reliance
Past experience teaches me I will not appeal to
you iu vain.
. Ira R Foster,
Quartermaster General ofUa.

General Orders No- 19.
The following address of the President
is published for the information ofthe ar
my.
By order :
(Signed) S. COOPER.
, Ad’j and Inspector General.
Soldiers of the Armies ofthe Confederate
States !
In the long and bloody war in which
your country is engaged, you have achiev
ed many noble triumphs. You have won
glorious victories over vastly more numer
ous hosts. Yon have cberfully borne pri
vation and toil to which you were unused.
You have readily submitted to restraints
upon your individual will, that tlie citizen
might better perform his duty to the State
asa soldier. To all these you have lately
added another triumph, the noblest of hu
man conquests—a victory over your
selves.
As tho time drew near when you who
first entered the service might well have
been expected to claim relief from your
arduous labors • and restoration to the en
dearments of home, you ha,vc heeded only
the. call of your suffering country. Again
you come to tender your service for the
public defence—a free offering which only
such patriotism as yours could make —a
triumph worthy of you and the cause to
which you are devoted.
1 would in vain attempt adequately to
express the emolions with which I deceiv
ed the testimonials of confidence and re
gard which you have recently addressed
to me. To some of those first received,
separate acknowledgments were returned.
But it is now apparent that a like gener
ous enthusiasm pervades the whole army,
and that the only exception to such mag-
1 nanimoug tender will be of those who, hav
ing orginally entered fer the war, cannot
display anew their zeal in the public ser
vice. It is, therefore deemed appropriate,
and, it is hoped, will be equally accepta
ble, to make a general acknowledgment,
instead of successive special responses.—
Would that it were possible to render my
thanks to you in person, ami in tho name
of our common country, as well as in my
own, while pressing the band of. each war-
won veteran, to recognize his title to our
love, gratitude and admiration.
Soldiers ! By your will (for yon and
the people are but one) I have been placed
in a position which debars me from shar
ing your danger, your suffering and your
privations in the field. With pride and
affection my heart has accompanied you in
every march ; with solicitutde it has
sought to minister to your every want; with
exultation it has marked your every he
roic achievement. Yet, never in tLe toil
some march nor in the weary watch, nor
in the desperate assaults, have you render
ed a service so decisive in results as in this
last display of the highest qualities of devo
tion and self-sacrifice which can adoru the
character of the warrior-patriot.
Already tlie pulse of tlie whole people
beats in union with yours. Already they
compare your spontaneous and unanimous
offer of your lives, forthe defence of your
country, with the halting and reluctant
service of the mercenaries who are pur
chased by thecneiny at the price of higher
bounties than have hitherto been known
in war. Animated by this contrast, they
exhibit cheerful confidence and more reso
lute bearing. Ecen the murmurs of the
weak and timid, who shrink from the tri
als which make stronger and firmer your
noble natures, are shamed into silence by
the spectacle which you present. Your
brave battle cry will ring loud and clear
through the land of the enemy, as well as
our own ; will silence the vain-glorious
boasting of their corrupt partisans and
thdir pensioned press; and will do justice
to the calumny by which they seek to per
suade a deluded people that you are ready
topurcha.se dishonorable safety by degrad
ing submission.
Soldiers 1 the coming spring campaign
will open under auspices well calculated
lo sustain your hopes. Your resolution
needed nothing to fortify it. With ranks
replenished under tlie influence of your
example, and by the aid of your represen
tatives, who give earnest of their purpose
to add, by legislation, largely to your
strength, you may welcome the invader
with a confidence justified by the memory
of past victories. On the other hand, debt,
taxation, repetition of heavy drafts, dissen
sions, occasioned by the strife for power,
by the pursuit of the spoils of office, by
the thirst for the plunder of the public
treasury, aud, above all, the consciousness
of a bad cause, must tell with fearful force
upon the over-strained energies ofthe ene
my. llis campaign in 1864 must, from the
exhaustion of liis resources both in men
and money, be far less formidable than
those of the last two years, when unimpair
ed means were used with boundless prodi
gality, and with results which are sugges
ted by the glorious names of Shiloh and
Pcrrysville, and iMufreesboro, and Chicks-
mauga, and tho Chickaliominy, and Ma
nassas, and Fredericksburg, and Cliau-
cellorsvillc.
Scldiers ! Assured success awaits us in.
our holy struggle for liberty and indepen
dence, and for the preservatian of all that
renders life desirable to honorable men.—
When that success shall be reached, to
your country’s hope and pride, under Di
vine Providence, will it bo due. The
fruits of that success will not be reaped by
you alone, but your children, and your
children’s children in long generations to
come, will enjoy blessings derived from
yon that will preserve your memory ever-
living in their hearts.
Citizen-defenders of the homes, the
liberties and the altars of the Confedera
cy ! That the God whom we all humbly
worship may nliield you with his Fatherly
care, and preserve you for safe return to
the peaceful enjoyment of your friends and
the association of those you most love,
is tbe earnest prayer of your Gommander-
in-Chicf,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Richmond, 9th Feb., 1864.

Artemus Ward on Ileorganization.
Artemus Ward, in a recent letter, thus
gives his ideas of reorganization: I never
attempted to reorganize my wife but once.
I shall never attempt it again. I’d bin to

healths until my own became effected.—
