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) nml Trustees. 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 Or of 7.30 notes, 13,600 Or 7 per cent, ljonds, 14,200 6 “ certificates, 16,600 5 •* “ 20,000 4 •* “ ’ 25.000 Times. 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. b'uvattnah Ilrjmb/iran. iu payment for bonds of the live hundred mil Hot ' loan.

A. TRENHOLM, Secretary of Treasury. Red Ffair llic E*nri»iuu Mi le. 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 sometimes the color of the dress, but it is often j hundred miles of railroad to keep up which must ta«t.mneJ nf blsmlr s.iU- nn.l .rimmed I an J CJ|n bo destroyed.

After Mr. Davis had concluded, repeated calls were made for bini. He came tor- ward and said: Ladirs aud Gentlemen : There is one truth that I would impress upon the minds of every Geor gian, and that truth can be uttered in a very few 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
