It is reported in Cincinnati, on^the authority
of a gentleman from Lexington, Kentucky,
that Gen-John H.Jtfoi , )5*ra--was badly wounded
while harassing the Federal army of Gon. G. W.

Will Secede.—-A few days ego Governor
. Morton, of Indiana, made.a speech in Washing
ton city, in which he declared that if the South
- succeeded in this rebellion, it would be impos
sible to hold the remaining States together.
The. inference is that; in the event supposed,
the south-west will exercise the right of seces-
• sion, and separate hcreelf from the remaining
fragments ot the old Union;,. .. .
McClellan .Endorses the Proclamation.—
A correspondent oT the Cincinnati Commercial
writes home that he has the very best authority
for stating that Major General McClellan hearti
ly ajid unequivocally endorses the recent proc
lamation of President Lincoln, as does a large
majority o! the generals of the army of the Po
tomac. A few murmured at first, he says, and
attempted to get up a discussion in camp,
which led to tho pub!'cation of the order by
General McCietlap. Of course they- will yield,
'niey are too mercenary and fond 01 power to
make principle any consideration.
Railroad Accident.—A frightful accident
occurred on the Virginia Central Railroad, elx
smiles from Charlottsvillc, on tho night of the
14th inst. The cars ran over a cow and tumbled
down a nineteen feet embankment, killing seven
persons and.woundlng a very large number.
Among the killed we find the names ot Geo.
Griffith, Hampton legion, of Abbeville, S. C.;
/Jab. H. Barnes,.ISth Georgia, and —— Owens,
of the 45th Georgia.
>; Ainong the wounded are the following: H.
W. HaV, Co. F, 19th Ga., in the hips; C. B.
Gladly, Co. F; 19th Ga;; S. C. Okellcy, Co. A,
16:h Ga., ankle, not badly; J. H. Gresham, Co.
E, 31st Ga., right leg and breast; R. B. Bailey,
. Co..F, 7th Ga , faco and back; Lt. H. L. Solo
mon, Co. G, 4Sth Ga., leg broken.
Atrocities -in Missouri.—The Northern
press gives accounts which makes the blood
run cold of the deliberate murder of Southern
prisoners by their own troops in Missouri.
There is no mistako about this. The state
ments of their atrocities come from their-own
mouths.' They publish them themselves, boast
of them, and declare that they will continue to
perpetrate them in all like casts. The crime
of these unfortunate Southern citizens, 6ays
the Richmond Dispatch, was the alleged shoot
ing of some of the scoundrels, who had deso
lated their hearths and homes. In one case, a
man who had not committed even this offence
was torn from his family, and, in spite of the
teara and entreaties of his wife and children,
mercilessly butchered. And all these atrocities
upon our own people are permitted to pass
without retaliation! To this day the foul
murder of Mumford remains unavenged, and
by our own acts we proclaim to the Lincoln
despotism that they may do what they please
with our people, without fear of retribution at
our hands. c
Plundering Contemplated.—Severe
have been the sufferings of tbe citizens of
Madison county, Tennessee, in eo nsequence of
the outrages perpetrated by tbe largo Federal
force quartered at Jackson,, the plunderers have
not yet, it seems, become satisfied, and now
contemplate the wholesale tlelt of all the ne
groes. We learn that the commander of the
post had.issued an order requiring all owners
of slave property in Madison county to report
with all their slaves—men, women and children
—at Jackson, on or before a certain day, .when
they will, of course, t>e seized. This will be
enforced by the bayonet, and the already desti
tute inhabitants sent back to their homes. Oh
for a day of retribution !
80 says the Memphis Appeal. And yet'we
' tolk about extending the rules and courtesies
of war to such an enemy—a people whose high
est ambition is to rob and plunder, to reduce
respectable females to the wash-tub and help
less children to beggary. We quietly submit
to all this, leaving it to Heaven to avenge
our wrongs. Heaven helps only those Who are
willing to help themselves.
Condition or our Troops.—If the govern
ment, os has been alleged, is in possession of
abundant supplies for the army, lUs neglpct to
serve them oqt to our suffering soldiers is noth-
ing Short of a crime. We do it tho justice of
believing that it has not the necessaries for
their comfort on hand. Something may be
gathered of their true condition from a special
notice which we find addressed by Assistant
Quartermaster John T. Brown -to the relatives
and friends of the soldiers belonging to the
14th, 35th, 45th and 39th Regiments Georgia
Volunteers. It opens with the following para-
' graph: , . '

many of them, wiihouL shoes or blankets, and!

an Argument which wp would *oommend to
every free citizen of this Republic. Tt Is so
truthful and forcible that we annex it'for the
serious" contemplation of our readers. The
Herald says:
“We should think ill of the Confederates if
on any terms whatever they consented to Vic
cept as fellow countrymen the mercenary
hordes of ruffians by whom iheir country has
been desolated.
“And the acceptance of Northern submission
would be as contrary to sound policy as to
right feeling and patriotic instincts. The U nlon
can only be reconstructed by giving certain
powers, however limited, to the Federal Gov.
and binding over the Northern States to observe
certain conditions of the Federal compact.—
They cannot be excluded from all share la the
Federal power ; sooner or later, probably with
in ten years, they mu3t recover by force of
wealth and numbers their ascendency at Wash
ington ; and then the work of the two last years
would have to be done over again. If any paper
Constitutions, if any guarantees, if any oaths
could bind the Northern States to the observ
ance of their Federal dntles and preclude them
from Interfering iu tbe internal affairs of their
neighbors, the old Constitution would have
sufficed. That Constitution they violated babi
tuilly and systematically. Their preachers in
culcated the duty of perjury; their lavryera de
fended treason ; their statesmen formed politi
cal parties to override the law ; their citizens
assembled to resist it, by an$ed forco; nay,
armed murderers from tho North invaded
Virginia, assassinated sleeping citizens in their
beds, and, when hanged for their crimes, were
honored as martyrs in New England. What
guarantee can.be given by such a people which
would be worth more than the paper on which
it was written ? What worse folly could there
be than to throw away the fruit* of eighteen
uiOLth-' «j< endurance of bloodshed, of glorious
achievement, by ro-uniting with .a race by
which no obligation, however solemn, has ever
been respected a day after it had the power and
the temptation to violate it ? Of such madness
we cannot believe that the able statesmen who
guide tho destinies of the Confederate States
will ever be guilty.

Iq my letter bf yesterday, 1 endeavored
show.what may bo accomplished by the intel
ligent ftnd. well-directed effort o( one State in
the matter of providing for its wounded soldiers,
and- relieving its sick and destitute. The State
referred to was Georgia, and the agency through
which its charity and benefactions distributed,
was the Georgia Relief and Hospital Associa
tion. It waB shown that the State, in addition
to large individual contributions of mon<

Tiie Government and tue Army.—Wc hope
every one into whose hands this paper may fall,
will read the letter of our army correspondent
on what has been done by tbe government for
tbe comfort and lives of tbe soidifers, and then
ask hfmseif if our brave brothers whom we
have sent into tho field arc to be left to the
tender mercies of such a provider to secure
them against the want and suffering of a north
ern winter. Whether able to do it or not, it
has been made clear from experience that it
will not be done. However well disposed the
government at Richmond may be in th£ matter,
it has to depend for the execution of its orders
on the Quartermasters and Commissaries of the
army to execute its will, a class of men one
half of whom are utterly unfit for their duties
and are looking to the feathering of their own
nests rather than to the welfare of the soldier.
Tho only safe and sure plan is to attend to it
our&dvts] and confide the supplies raised to men
whom we know and can trust. The Georgia
Relief and Hospital Association is composed of
just such men, and we commend them to the
activity, zeal and efficiency in relieving the suf
ferings of the sick soldier, and we need no bet
ter evidence of their ability and trustworthi
ness.
The Steam Ship Minho.—The report of
heavy cannon was heard in the city about three
o’clock Tuesday morning, which, abGftit day

the Yankee bioekadere, who, observing that a
steamer had passed by them and was coming
into port, opened lire, but did not do her any
damage. This 6teamer was the. Mmho, with a
valuable carge from Bermuda, which, after es-
caphlg the blockaders, had the misfortune to.

sland, and has had several holes punched in
her bottom by the rocks, which let a large
quantity ot water into the ship, and which has
perhaps damaged a portion of her cargo. At
low water yesterday.the leaks were stopped in a
measure, and as the tide rose in the afternoon
several steamers worked at her. trying to tow

As. th« ship is divided ieto several VFater-tieht

&c:, collectfd^'p r lhe VGuoded’from their State,
and rendered every assistance, moral and physi
cal, it was in their power to bestow. It was
shown also, that.these agents were industrious
and energetic men, fall of sympathy and good
feeling, who did not wait for the sick and desti
tute to come to them, but went eat la search
of the safferers, got them into as comfortable
quarters as possible, put beds of straw under
their weary limos, furnished them with a change
of clothing, and nursed them like brothers—as
they are.
To-day I propose to show what the Govern
ment's doing for the sick ahffwonnded under
the same circumstances—not with a. view of
finding fault, but to indicate the defects in tbe
system it has adopted, to the end that they may
be corrected.
It 13 customary after a battle has been fought,
to collect-tho wounded together in temporary
hospitals or send th6m to the rear. At Rich
mond, they were placed In the hospitals in that
city*; after the second battle of Manassas they
were sent back to Warrenton and other towns
in the vicinity, and ot Sharp3burg they were
sent across the river to Shepherdstown and
thence to thiRpiacb and Siaunton. The regi'
mental surgeons dress tho wound, and set or
amputate the limb, as tho case may be, before
the patient-passes from their hands to the rear.
8omc of these operators perform their work
skilfully and conscientiously ; others dolt hur
riedly or ignorantly ; whilst a few do it in a
manner that can only be properly characterized
as brutal. I have known of cases of amputa
tions where the lapping part of the flesh was
sewed together oyer the bone so stupidly, that
the thread wouldiflsengage itself and the bone
be exposed in legs than twenty-four hours. The
object ot many of the field surgeons seems 10
be to get through with their work, in some
sort of fashion, as soon as possible, and turn
their subjects over to the hospital surgeons.
While engaged at the amputation table, many
of them leel it to be their solemn duty, every
time they administer brandy to. tho -patent, to
take a drink thomsclrcs. *Tb!s part of their
work is performed with great unction and con
scientiousness. Iu a majority 1 of instances, how
ever, I am glad to say, the field surgeons de
quite as w.ell as could be expected; of young
men who have had but little practical expe
rience in tho art ot surgery. In cases of ordi
nary sickness they have but little to do, inas
much as the Government has been able to
furnish them with but few medicines, and they
have consequently but little to administer.
But it is when the wounded man falls into
the bands of the hospital surgeons that his
greatest sufferings begin. I do not mean such
surgeons aa those in tbe Richmond hospitals,
which are located in a large city under the eye
of the Government, and are provided for with
careful matrons and nurses and an ample supply
of hospital stores; the circumstances surround
ing these officers, if nothing else, would con
strain them to perform their duties. But I al
lude to the surgeons in those hospitals which
are improvised in the rear of the army, as at
this place and Warrenton, and who being of
but little value at Richmond and other central
points, are sent to the country. Shall I daguer
reotype two of these surgeons for you ? Sam
Weller would call them 4 Sawbones,” and per
haps that is a more appropriate term for them
than surgeons.
Nearly two weeks after the battle of Sharps-
burg, two young gentlemen, of irreproachable
moustaches, were introduced into my room at
a hotel in this place by the landlady, who In
formed me that they would be my room-mates
for the present. It appeared from their con
versation that they had just arrived from Rich
mond—that they had been acting in tbe capacity
of assistant surgeons there for nearly a year,
and that they had been despatched to Winches
ter to assist In taking care of the wounded in
the battlo of Sharpsburg. Two questions of
much magnitude occupied their attention for
half an hour or more—to wit: 1st, -whether
>m off when their wounds were dressed, and
it was impo-.aibie to recover their knapsacks
alter they were Wounded. But for a few cots
In the York hospital, (which is vcry'weli kept.)
said to have been left here by the enemy, the
_ condition of such of tbe ‘wounded as couid not
h?ct into private houses is ai deplorable as it
^Can be.
The Surueons were late in arriving here, and
"■ vere ’equally slow, as you have seen, in report
ing after they h3d arrived. The agents pt the
'Jeorgia Relief and Hospital Association reach-
id Warrenton with tbeir supplies nearly a week
“ advance of tlie Surgeons sent up from Rich-
ss than twenty-four hours alter their arrival
ere (the time required for some of the govern
ment surg.-ns to arrange their toilets a u d report
*r duty,) they bad visited every hospital in the
town, gathered up many of the wounded from
tTieir State, dressed their wouuds, furnished
them with a ctnnze of clothing, and gone to
rork to secure separate hospital buildings for
cc-ir accommodation. Why cannot tl^e gov-
rnment Surgeons show equal activity and hu-
pcity ?
-One thing ha3 impressed me more painfully
than all others connected with the army. It is
tbe little concern which the government, its
officers and surgeons show for the preservation
of the lives.of their troops. A great parade is
made over a single piece of artillery cap
tured from the enemy; and yet what is
such a trophy compared with the life of
an able-bodied man, even when considered
as-to its military value! We have none
loo many men r in the South that we should
adopt a sys era so disregardfal of life. The
whole country is interested in the life and
health of every man in it, and If some of the
energy displayed in forcing feeble and unheal
thy conscripts into the service, were shown in
taking care of the sick and wouuded, the army
would be all the better for it. A planter who
would take as little care of the health of his
slaves a3 the government does of its soldiers,
woc!d soon have none to caro for, while he
would be driven ont qf the community by his
Indignant neighbors. P. W. A.

or go as they were. They finally decided t6
dress first, and then send up their report in
writing. The consideration which brought
them to this conclusion arose from the fact
that they were without paper, and the idea of
going into the 6trret to purchase a supply in
their present plierbt, could not be entertained
for a moment. Nearly two hours were devoted
to their toilet. After washing and scrubbing
ever bo long, their hair and’moustaches had to
be carefully cleaned and oiled, thdrtmiforms,
covered all over with gold lace, neatly dusted,
and Uieir boots duly polished One of them
put bn a ruffled calico shirt with a large diamond
)in and immense gold studs, a pair of white
inen pantaloons, and a handsome black-cloth
coat made up in the extreme military style. He
first thought he would wear a pair of gaiter
shoes, bnt on consulting “Jim” (his compan

come the set ot his pants better. So he put on
the boots. «
Having finished their elaborate toilets and
started out of the room, the following laconic
dialogue ensued: * .
Moots.—I say, Jim, don’t you think we had
better take a drop before going out ?
Jim.—Yes, I do think we had. I feel rather
shaky after last night’s affair.
They courteously inquired, after a moment’s
hesitation, whether I would not join them; but
I was suffering at tbe time from fever, conse

indignation that such stupid creatures should
be sent here to attend to the wounded, and I
declined to participate* They returned to the
room after an hour’s absence, complained that
they had to walk so far through tbe heat and
dost to get a little paper, prepared their note to
the Chief Surgeon of tbe post, and sent it up
to him in due form. The Chief Surgeon, who

Mis-iitrppi, wfero adopted on tbe 11th Inst., by a vote

Whoroaa, The Northern Slates, now represented by
the federal governm -nt r,i the late Union, commenced
tho present war of invasion, to enforce an unfounded
and tyrannical claim of dominion over sovereign
States which had withdrawn from the Union; and pre
tending that these Sta’es are io rebellion, have nought

rights ucc rdad to belligerents by tho u«ag<?3 of na-
tioaspouid, a lor proa-eating this war, without success,
m re than a year since t- is government was recog
nized by Uurnp an nations as a belligerent power,
have continued, under the same pretext, to inflict npon
the good people of these State) inhuman injuries in
contemptuous disregard of the usages of eivi’ized war
fare, exacting from them treasonable oaths and ser
vice, aad, upon refusal, subjecting unarmed citizens
women and children to hantebmont, imprisonment
and death; wantonly burning tho'r dwel ing houses,
ravaging the land, murdering men for pretended or
trivial offeccen; making rapine of private property a
sys'emattc object of the war; org.nizlrg tho abduo.
Hot of slaves by armies and agents of government;
endeavoring to foment eervi'.e insur ection by tamper
ing with s'aves, by proclaiming schemes for emanci-
p* ting them, by peeing laws to equalize the races, by'
protecting slaves in resisting their masters, and by
preparing armed bands of negroes to fight in the pres
ence of negro slave* r or tho subjugation of tho white
race; parmittingontragoa on women to be committed
by a lirentlous soldiery, encouraged, In a memorable
instance, by the ordor of a Major General and tha
acqulescenca of his government; attempting, until
rest-air-hid by a threat of retaliation, to murder priva
teersmen for engaging in a mode of warfare expressly
sanctioned by the Constitution of the United States,
and the Confederate States, and by tho laws of nations;
refusing, with double inhumanity, to exchange pris
on-re, until constrained by the long duration ana Od-
ven-e fortune of the war; attempting to ruin our cities
by flll'-ng up the entrances to their harbors-with atone,
and diverting the ancient channels of great rivers,
entting off our supplies of medicines, needed as well
for suffering women, children and captive enemies, aa
for the aide of our armies; and perpetrating other
atrocities which would be disgraceful to aav iges;
And, whereas, the said government of the United
Stat -s, In tho same epirit of barbarous ferocity, has re
cently enacted a Uw entitled “An Act to suppress In
surrection, to punish treason and rebellion, to seize
and conflncato the property of rebels, and for other
purposes;” and haa announced, by a Proclamation is
sued by Abraham Lincoln, the President thereof that,
in pursuance of said law, on the let day of January,
1SG3, all persona held as B'avea, within any State or
designated part of a btats, tho peop'e whereof shall
be in rehedion against the Untied states, shall be
thenceforward and forever free; and has thereby made
manifest that the vast war pf invasion which it wages
with such lawless cruelty is conducted with a view, by
judicial murders, bar iahments and otherwise, to exter
minate the ioyal population of these States; to trans
fer theix-property-to their enemies; to emancipate
their alayes; to destroy their labor syatem X to subvert
their inetitutions ; human and divine, upon which it te
founded; employing slaves and other negroes for
these purposes, with an atrocious design of adding ser
vile insurrection and t'ae massacre of families to the
calamities of war; .
And, whereas, since the passage of said act execu
tive and military oraera.have evinced a determined
purpose of the enemy to carry out this policy of rapine
and extermination with brntal and surprising eeverity;
And, whereas, jastic^and humanity reqaire the Gov
ernment of the confederate States to endeavor to pun
ish and repress the atrocious practices and designs of
the enemy by inflicting severe retribution—therefore
Resolved, by the Congress of the Confederate States,
That the President will be sustained in resorting to
such measures of retaliation as in his judgment may
be demanded by the above recited lawless and barbar
ous c-induct and deeignj of the enemy.
