President Davis arrived quite unexpectedly on the
Central train at 4 o'clock yesterday morning Indeed,
no lie ill tile city had the least intimation of hi.* coin
ing. A meeting was auvertised in‘the morning jour-
nals to take place at the Baptist Church at 11 o’clock,
for tiie purpose ot devising means for the relief of the
Atlanta refugees. As soon as the President’s arrival
became generally known.it was determined to invite
him to address the meeting^
Alter an organization hadl>een effected,a committee,
j consisting of Clifford Anderson, Howell Cobh and H.
i 11. Troutman, wus sent'to the residence of General
j Cobb, where the President was stopping, tu extend
! him a formal invitation. In a short while the conimit-
j tee returned to the church escorting the President in
| person. When he-arrived at the liead of the right
1 hand aisle, there was a prolonged applause. The Pref-
! ident turned to the audience and repeatedly bowed
! very low.
Intioduced by Gen Cobb,Mr Davlssaid:
Ladies auil Gentlemen, Friends and Fellow Citi-
( zens :—It would have gladdened my heart to have
met you in prospeiity instead ot adversity. The son
of a Georgijtn who fought through the first revolution.
I would be untrue to myself it f should forget the
State in her day of peril.
What though misfortune has befallen our arms from
Decut ur to Jonesboro’, our cause is not lost. Sherman
cannot keep up his long line of c juiniiinication, ami
retreat sooner or later, he must. And when that day
conies, the late that befel the annv of the French Em
pire in its retreat Ironi Moscow will be re-enacted. Our
cavalry and our people will han nss nud destroy his ar
my us did the Cossacks that of Napoleon, and the Yan
kee Geueral. like him will escape with only a body
guard.
llow can this be the most speedily effected ? By the
absentees of Hood’s army returning to their posts.—•
And will they not ? Can they seethe banished exiles,
can they hear the wail ot their suffering country-wo-
inen and children, and not vonie. By what influences
they are made to stay away, it is not necessary to
speak. It tnere is one who will stay at this hour, he
is unworthy of the name of a Georgian. To the wo- (
men no appeal is necessary. They are like the Spartan
mothers ot old. I know ofoue who had lost her sons,
except one of eight years. She wrote me that she
wanted me to reserve a place for him in the ranks.—
The venerable Gen. Polk, to whom I rend the letter,
kpewthut wom^n well, and said that it was character
istic of her. But I will not weary you by turning
aside to relate the various incidents of giving up the
last sou to the causo of our country known to me.—
Wherever we go we find the heart and lmnds of our
noble woineu enlisted. They are seen wherever
the eye may fall, or the step turn. They have one
duty to perform—to buoy up the hearts of our peo
ple.
I know the deep disgrace felt by Georgia at our army-
falling back trom Dalton to the interior of the State ;
but 1 was not ot those who considered Atlanta lost
when our army eroded the Chattahoochee.. 1 resolved
that it should uot, and I then put a man in command
who I knew would strike a blow for the city-, aud
many a F aukee’s blood was made to nourish the soil
before the prize was won.
It does not become us to revert to disaster. “Let
tliedea i bury- the deud.‘‘ Let us with oue arm and
one efiort enueavorto crush Sherman. 1 am going to
ttie army to conler with our Generals. The end must
he the defeat of our enemy. It has tieeu said that I
had abandoned Georgia^to her fate. Shame upon sucti
a tal.shood. Where could the author have been when
Polk, and when Gen. Stephen I). Lee was sent to
her assistance. Miserable man. The man who utter
ed this was u scoundrel. He was not a man to save
our country.
II 1 knew that a General did not possess the right
qualities to command, would I not be wrong if he was
not removed ? II hy, when our army was tailing back
trom Nor hern Georgia, I even heard tiiat 1 had sent
Bragg with poutoous to cross into Cuba. But.we must
be charitable.
Tiie man who can speculate ought to be made totake
up his musket. When the war is over und our inde
pendence won, (and we will establish our indepen
dence,) who will be our aristocracy 1 I hope the limp
ing soldier. To tiie young ladies I won d say, when
choosing between the empty sleeve and tiie man who '
had remained at home and grown rich, always take I
the empty sleeve. Let the old qien remain at home i
and inake bread. But shonld they know of any 1
young men keeping away from the service who can- I
not be made to go any other way let them write to the j
Executive. I read all letters sent uie from the people, :
but have not the time to reply to them.
^ You have not many men between 18 and 45 left.— I
The boys—God bless the boys—are as rapidly as they j
become old enough goiug to the field. The city of j
Macon is filled with stores, sick and wounded - It
must not be abandoned, \vheu threatened ; but when I
the enemy come, instead of calling upon Hood’s army-
for defence, the old men must fight, and when the eue-
my is driven beyond Chattanooga, they too can join in
the general rejoicing.
Your prisoners aj e kept as a sort of Yankee capital.
I have heard that one of their Generals said that their
exchange would defeat Sherman. 1 have tried every
means, conceded everything to effect au exchange to
no purpose. Butler the Beast, with whom no Commis
sioner of Exchange would hold ii tercourse, had pub
lished in the newspapers, that if we would coiisent to
tiie exchange of negroes all difficulties might be re
moved. This is reported as au efiort of his to get him
self whitewashed by holding intercourse with gentle
men. If an exchange could he effected, I don’t know
but that I might be induced to recognize Butler. But
in the future every effort will be giveu as far as pos
sible to effect the end. We want our soldiers in the
field, and we want the sick and wounded to return
home.
It is not proper for me to speak ot the number of
men in the field. But this I will say-, that two-thirds
of our men are absent—some sick, some wounded, but
most of them absent without leave. The man who
repents and goes buck to his commander voluntarily,
at once appeals strongly to executive clemency. But
suppose iie stays away until the war is over and his
comrades raturn home, when every liqm’s history will
be told, where will lie shield himself ? It is upon tliese
reflections that I rely to make men return to their duty ;
but after conferring with our Generals at. headquar
ters, if there be auy other remedy it shall be ap
plied.
I love my friends and I forgive my enemies. I
have been asked to send reinforcements from Virginia
to Georgia. In Virginia the disparity in numbers is just
as great as it is in Georgia. Then I have been asked
why the army sent to the Shenandoah Valley was not
•cut here ? It was because an army of the enemy had
penetrated that Valley to the very gates of Lynchburg
and Gen. Early was sent to drive them back. This he
not only successfully did, hut, crossing the Potomac,
came well-nigh capturing Washington itself, and forced
Grant to.send two corps of his anny to protect it.—
This the enemy denominated a raid.. If so Sherman's
inarch into Georgia is a raid, What would prevent
them now, if Early was withdrawn, penetrating down
the valley and putting a complete cordon of men
around Richmond ! 1 counselled with that great ana
brave soldier, Gen. Lee, upon all these points. My
mind roamed over the whole field.
With this we can succeed. If oue half the men now
absent without leave will return to duty, we can de
feat the enemy. With that hope I am going to the
front. 1 may uot realize this liojie, but I know there
are men there who have looked death in the face too
often ta despond nqw. Let no one despond. Let no
one distrust, and remember that if genius is the beau
ideal, hope is the reality.
The President then alluded to the objects for which
the meeting had assembled, and expressed the hope
that the refugees and exiles would be well provided
for. His remarks were often interrupted by ap
plause.
Cheering New* from Kentucky.—The Lynchburg
Republican of the 21st has accounts from the New De
partment of Kentucky, which are of a very recent
date and of a highly cheering character. Recruits are
flocking to our standard by the score, and with proper
management a very formidable force will soon be
gathered under Gen Johuson’s command, finely mount
ed nud equipped by the loyal citizens of the Depart
ment. Gen. Johnson was seriously wounded not long
since by a shot through mistake from one of liis own
men. He had capturd a Yankee camp in the early
morning, and wns leaving with his prisoners, when he
was fired upon by some of hie own men, who in the
darkness of the morning, mistook the party for a body
of Yankee prisoners attempting to make their eacapr.
His wound is a very serious one, and may incapacitate
him fbr any further active duty.
[From the Alexandria (Va.) Gazette.]
McClellan an the Manner •( PramcBliag the
War.
The friends of Gun. McClellan are using as a “cam
paign document,” the letter lie vl-rote to President Liu-
coln, in July, 1862, from Ilarrisou’s Landing. Iu this
letter he expressed this opinion :
“This war should be conducted upon the highest
principles known to Christian civilization. It should
not be a war looking to the subjugation of the people
of any State in apy event. It should not be at ail «
war upon population, but against armed forces and po
litical organizations. Neither confiscation of property,
political execrations of persons, ten itorialorganization
of States, or forcible abolition of slavery, should be
contemplated for a moment.
“In prosecuting the war, all private property and
unarmed persons should be strictly protected, subject
only to the necessity ot military operations. All pri
vate property taken for military use should be paid
or receipted for; pillage and waste should be treated
as high crimes ; all necessary tresspass sternly prohib
ited, and offensive demeanor by the military.Jiiward
citizens promptly rebuked. Military arrests should not
be tolerated, except iu places whete active hostilities
exist, and oaths not required by enactments constitu
tionally made, should be neither demanded nor receiv
ed. Military government should be coufined to the
preservation of public order aud the protection of po
litical rights.”
To AHn|iaiNtrator*, Exrentsr*. Gnnrdian)

The attention of the above class ot persons is called
to the eighth section of the act of the Confedeiate
Congress, approved 17th February 1864, commoniv
cal it d “The Tax Bill,” which says :
“Tiiat the tax imposed by this act on the bonds of
the Confederate States, heretofore issued, shall in no
case, exceed the interest on the same , and such bonds,
irhen held by, nr for. minors or lunatics, shall be exempt
from the tax, in all cases ir here the interest on the
same shall not exceed one thousand dollars.”
The foregoing section of the Tax Bill seems not to
have attracted the notice or observationjof those per
sons who are the most interested in it. By its provis
ions any guardian 4k trustee may hold either of the
following sums, for tne benefit of each u-ardor lunatic,
without the payment of auy Confederate tax on the
same:
Of 8 per cent, bonds, f 12,500

Morghuui Flour.
We have a sample of this flour, made of the seed of
Chinese cane; which may be seen at our office. The
planter who sends it to us had no means of bolting this
tour, nor had he taken off the hull ot the seed before
grinding, the consequence is, that the flour has a pink
ish color.
Those who have made a trial of this excellent flour,
repns*ent it to be an admirable substitute for buck
wheat Made into hoe-cake it is a very savory bread.
It is likely to come into very general use, if prepared,
like wheat flour, bv boiling. The price at which it can
be offered to market may be assumed at $15 or $20
per sack. But as an acre of Sorghum yields from 30
to 50 bushels, $10 a sack would be a remunerating
price. The production of this grain, the present yeur,
in Georgia must amount to five millions of bushels.—
We have this great supply of food to fall back upon, iu
the event of a deficiency ot the common cereals, wheat
and maize.
The season for buckwheat cakes comes in next month,
with frost. Lot the lovers of this bread try the sub
stitute of Sorghum Flour It is represented as being-
very similar, when prepared as the former is.
As a substitute for coffee no parched grain or vege
table ordinarily used as substitutes is at all equal to
Sorghum seed. And what is still more valuable to
know, in the present scarcity of Sugar, a small a quan
tity of the syrup, boiled with ground seed, makes the
coffee substitute very pleasant and palatable.

A Paris letter to the Journal of Commerce
says:
Among the most extraordinary fancies of the
reigning belles of this most eccentric era is the
mania of dying the hair red. The fair possessors
of soft brown or black locks take infinite poius to
change the natural color of their tresses into an
ugly shade of the least becoming of all hues: the
dye producing a dingy brownish shade, not at all
agreeable to the eye, so that fair beauties are alike
coiffed with curls, rouleaux, and bows of dull red
hair: the impression produced is auy thing but
pleasant, the strongest feeling being that of won
der that any women of good tasto can voluntarily
submit to such an ugly metamorphosis. Enor
mous buckles arc the vogue, measuring in length
several inches, and of course enormously wide
waistbands aro required to accompany the un
commonly large buckle. Those waistbands are
fashioned of silk, and made to fit the figure like
a short slay ; small strips of whalebone are insert
ed between the silk and lining—The belt is | bio wo cannot crush Sheimau 7 He has three

I would impress upon the minds of every Geor

words: That is, there is no greater virtue in a
courageous people titan firmness in disasttr —
II hen Hannibal overran Italy and approached
the gates of the Eternal City, the Romans had
only lo(1,000 men left ; 60,1)00 of these men were
8aim in the battles. The victorious conqueror
marched to the very gates of the city ami spit
over its walls. .Still with one-third of their annv
destroyed, and a powerful em-my thundering at
their gates, notone Romau daied io whisper peace
under these circumstances. A fter that the nation
achieved great glory. The whole wor.d acknowl
edged hersway : no Roman ever dared to discuss
peace with an armed enemy.
I havo often asked myself, are Georgians equal
to Romans 7 The opportunity is now afforded to
determine that question. If it is decided iu the
affirmative, generations will bless the day that
gave the opportunity. No honorable peace can
be attained tor Georgia, until the enemy is crush
ed. The only peace which the invading army
can give, is lo make freemen slaves and slaves
freemen -
And we can crush this enemy. I feel that they
are .as much our prisoners now as the Yankees at
Andersonville. llow can this he done 7 Not by
discouraging those willing to fight, not by spec
ulating and extortioning. Not By failing earuesf-
U’ to support the organized power, but only by
the reverse of all those propositions. Js it possi-

A Home for the Kxilrn.
We are gratified to learn that a move is now be
ing made to provide a home for the exiles from At
lanta and elsewhere—women anti children—who
have no home, no friends, aud no means, but must
labor, all who can, to live, and those who, from
physical infitmities cannot labor, must be boused,
fed, and clothed. Under direction, we learn, of
the Quarter Master General of the Slate, Col.
Ira R Foster, preliminary arrangements are now j
being made, by which the “Homo” will be soon 1
provided. I11 this good work, we learn that May- |
or Collins of this city, is rendering valuable assis
tance.—T<he “Home will be located in tbe vicinity i
of Gordon, near tbe Central Railroad. Substan- i
tial cabins will be eretted.aud a little town built j
in the piny woods to be governed by wholesome !
regulations.—Into these cabins will be admitted i
those exiled women and children who have been
•driven from their homes, aud who have no means
to procure another, and provision made for their
support. No idle or vicious persons will be ad- i
mitted into this place of refuge. It will be as a j
sanctuary to those who may go there lor shelter ] \vi'l'l~ne
and lor bread. The Governor, we learn, will do or ,’ty to Y
cape. We have the means to do this. We must
return the absentees. They are everywhere —
I hey cat at your tables; you meet them in your
parlors; you meet them on the streels; you all
know tcho they arc. Cease complaining of the
gallant soldiers in the fiejd aud urge forward the
absentees. Do that «Dd the Moon will uot wax
and wane thrice before Sherman is defeated and
the exiles can go home.
I know that we all waDt peace, and if God
knows my heart there is no one who more fer
vently prays for it than I do. But how can w e
make it 7 Not with Sherman, who says he means
extermination. I recently read a letter from him
more intensified with maliguity than ever escaped
the lips of man. He said fie meant to destroy the
present people and populate our country with a
better people—the It ankces ! You can make with
him, or Lincoln, only one p'cace—that is submis
sion.
Another reason why you cannot make peace
with Sherman is, our gallant aimy will not let
you—you have not t,he power to make a dishon
orable peace. There is no mail more anxious to
stay the revolution than I am ; nor no man who
will work more earnestly to secure that bonn, but
ever acknowledge inferiority to Yan-
all in bis power to promote the object, and we j Go t0 Gen Lee's army and you will find its spirit
trust when the Legislature CDiiveLies, it will lib- truly animating Every biigade in it thinks it
erally provide what will be neeoed to make thfc c . an w hjp Grant. Why then indulge in dtspoiiden*
exiles there as comfortable as possible.
On accoimt of the active interest exhibited in
this benevolent and patriotic object by Col. Foster,
we propose that the poiut selected for I lie cabins
be named Fusterville.—Intelligencer.

Important from Mexico.—By way of New Orleans,
the American learns, that Mexlcansjust arrived in that
city report that Cortenas being unable to cope with
the French, crossed his force of 2;000 men and 16
cannon over the Rio Grande, and occupied Browns
ville, Texas, driving out the Confederates under Col.
Ford, and hoisted the Yankee flag-. He declared that
he was born on American side of the river, he was a
citizen of the U. S. aud would hold Brownsville for that
Government. He immediately notified the lankee
coin n ander at Brazos of his proceedings, and offered
through him. to the United States Government the
services of himself and army.

Yankee Prisoners.
• Last fall Major C. Maynard, Quartermaster of
this post, having need of a great number of shoes
for the negroes employed in this department, deter
mined to utilize some of the Yankee skill lying
idle in the Libby. He fitted tip a shoe shop at the
Government stable yard on Navy Hill, and pro
curing forty odd shoe makers from among the Yan
kee prisoners at the Libby, who ware willing to
practice their trade during their captivity, set them
to work. These men have made all the shoes and
boots required by the Quartermaster’s' depart
ment inRichmond. and done besides a vast amount
of work for my army and for citizens. The qual
ity of work turned out at this establishment is very
superior to any donein tbe Confederacy. The Yan
kees here employed are so delighted with their
condition as to be unwilling to be exchanged ;
they desire nothing better than to live as they are
tijl the end of the war. They are well fed and-
comfortably lodged and clothed. I he report of their
happy condition having spread among, the priso
ners at the Libby and on Belle Isle,' ths artisans
of all kinds among them have become anxious
to -be similarly employed at their respective
trades.
The question presents itself, could not this dis
position on the part of these prisonors be turned
to the advantage of Our cause 7 We want men in
the field, while thousands of our best troops are
detailed to perform necessary labour in our work
shops Cannot the mechanics among the prison
ers be put in the places of our detailed artisans in
a number of trades, and the detailed men sent, to
the field 7 The Yankee prisoners, feeling now
that allh pe of an exchange has been extin
guished by Butler’s letter, will be more anxious
than ever to be relieved from the life-wearing idle
ness and monotony of prison life. The Bubject
is worthy the serious attention of Government.
Major Maynard’s experiment demonstrates that
they can be employed to good purpose and without
danger. During the ten months that he has had
forty at his shoe-shop, a relief of only three men
has been required to guard them, and no case of
misconduct has occurred. The threat to send
them back to tbe Libby has proved sufficient to
keep them in order.
We may mention in this connexion that S&jur
Maynard with the assent of the authorities, has
it in contemplation to enlarge his establishment
and increase his number oi Yankee workmen to
one hundred or over. Should his plan be carried
out, it is to be hoped that a good deal of work will
be done for citizens. The rates now charged for
shies by shoemakers in the city put these abso
lutely necessary articles beyond tire ieach of the
poor.— Richmond, Examiner.

Letter from Secretary Trrnholni
Mr. Sanford, Confederate States Depositary at
Moutgomry, Ala., has furnished the Advetiser for
publication the following letter from the Secreta
ry of the Treasury, which was written to correct
a misapprehension as to the cause of the delay in
furnishing new issue to exchange for the old :
Theasury Department, C. S. A., ]
Richmond, Sept. 8, 1864. S
T. Sanfonl. Esq., Depositary,
Montgomery, Ala.:
Sir—Your letter ol the 30th ult. has been re
ceived, and I aui very glad of the opportunity it
affords me to correct a misapprehension into
which you have fallen, in common with all who
have addressed similar complaints to his Depart
ment. It is that of supposing that the old issues
are not exchanged from motives of policy. This
ia not the case. The mechanical appliances at our
command are limited, and inadequate to supply
notes fast enough for the pay of arrearages that
accrued during the time that elapsed between the
demonetizing of the old notes, and the preparation
of the new ; for the discharge of current expenses
and for exchnge of the old currency.
Had the Treasury been atiuudantly supplied
with notes, the plan of sending promptly an ad
equate amount to tbe Depositaries to effect the
exchanges would have been tbe first put in force,
but this was uot the case. As the next thing, and
the only method of ascertaining where remittances
were most wanted. and in what sums, the regu*
lation was adopted, of which you corapiain, viz:
to receive and receipt for the notea, and send them
here to be exchanged.
As a further convenience and protection to tbe
holders of the old notes, the regnlatiou was adop
ted authorising tbe-takjpg of them cn lean, and
hip Grant. Why
cy. It can do no good.
Georgians ! do not despond. In the midst of
disaster be strong. I do jiot. doubt. Sherman in
Atlanta must be destroyed. I said twelvemonths
ago that if the enemy ever go 10 Atlanta he would
be destroyed. It is true 1 would have preferred
his being defeated before he got there. But now
we can and will crush the enemy and that very
soon.
If Lincoln is defeated and McCLltan elected ill
the coming election, we may have peace. But
there is no peace party in the North if we are will
ing to he subjugated. All will subjugate us if
they can. Peace can only come by the defeat of
the enemy. McClellan will nevei be elected un-
