OCTOBER 17, 1864, lu assuming command at this critical juncture, of tho Military Division of the West, I appeal to my country men. of all classes and sections, for thoir generous support and confidence. In assigning me to this responsible position, the President of the Confederate States, has extended to me the assurance of his earnest support: The Executives of your States meet me with similar ex pressions of thoir devot on to our cause : the noble army in the field, Composed of brave men and gal la/ t officers, are no strangers to me, and I know that they will do all that patriots can achieve. The history of the past, written in the blood of their comrades, but foreshadows the glorious future which lies before them. Inspired with these bright promises of success, I make this appeal to the men and women of my country, to lend me the aid of their earnest and cordial co-operation. Unable to join in tho bloody conflicts of the field, they can do much to strengthen our cause, fill up our ranks, en courage our soldiers, inspire confidence, [dispel gloom and thus hasten en the day of our final suc cess and deliverance. The army of Sherman still holds the city of Atlanta; he can and must be driven from it. It is only for the good people of Georgia land sur rounding States to speak the word, and the work is done. We have abundance of provisions, and there are men enough in the country, liable and able for ser vice to accomplish the result. To. all such, I earn estly appeal to report promptly to their respective commands, and let those who cannot go, see to it, that none remain at home who are able to strike a blow in this critical and decisive hour. To those soldiers of tho army, who are absent from their commands without leave, I appeal in the name of their brave comrades, with whom they have in tho past so often shared the privations of the camp and the dangers of the battlefield, to re turn at once to their duty. To all such as shall re port to their respective commands iu response to this appeal, within the next thirty days, an amnesty is hereby granted. My appoal is to every one, of all classes and con ditions, to come forward freely, cheerfully and with a good heart, to tho work that lies before us. My countrymen 1 respond to this call as you have done in days that have pass, and with the blessings of a kind and over-ruling Providence, the enemy shall be driven from your soil, the security of your wives and daughters, from the insults and the out rages of a brutal foe, shall be established, soon to by a permenant and honorable peace. The claims of home and country, wife and children, uniting with the demands of honor and patriotism, summon us to the field; we cannot, dare not, will not fail to respond. Full of hope and confidence, I come to join in your struggle, 'sharing your privations, and with your brave and! true men, to strike the blow that shall bring success to our arms, triumph to our cause, and peace to our country.

COLUMBUS, GA., FRIDAY, NOV. 4, 1864. Thursday Evening. (loon Movs. —We learn from the Meridian Clarion that Gen. Kirby Smith has issued an order requiring commanding officers to turn over to Brig. Gen. Hays all officers and men serving in their commands belonging to mili tarv organiz:* lot - east of the Mississippi now, who may hav : Cvnte into the Trans-Mississippi Department since the fall of YiclfebUrg, and have not been regularly assigned to the eom with which they are serving, by proper au thority. Gen. Hays will establish a camp at .Alexandria*, where he will collect and forward the men to their commands on this side of the river. The move is a good one. Sheridan in hi.- report says ho lost at Cedar Creek, Ya., betw- -n eight hundred and a thousand prisoners; wb r is fourteen hundred have arrived in Richmond, and more on the way. Sherklau’s “pursuit,” so turribie on paper, leaves him seated at Cedar Creek, rubbing his sores and burying his'dead, while Early’s pickets are al most in sight. Med. Exam’g Board, 3d Congressional Pis. The Truth Coming Out. —Yankee journals of the 25th inst. have no intelligence from Sherman. The Herald says Hood’s movements have been executed' with such skill that Sherman must attack and whip him or his lino of communication will be rendered useless by the proximity of the Confederates to it. Nherman, it says, has been compelled to leave one corps in a state of siege in Atlanta, and now has to go forth to fight Ilood in his own chosen position,— On the Btb, Ilood was reported one mile below Lafayette, and Sherman at Villaspn, six miles from him, Hood, according to Yankee accounts, is be ing heavily reinforced, including Walker’s division from the Trans Mississippi. The Independent Methodist Conference of the North, before adjourning, adopted a series of reso lutions declaring that, while war is ineensistant with Christian principles, yet the only war to'pro cure permanent peace for the country is by a vig orous prosecution of the present, war, and nomi nating Grant and Sherman and Sheridan and Ad miral Furragut as the only peace ambassadors. The Southeern Recorder states that some twelve or fifteen eases of Small Pox have occurred at Milledgevilß, mostly among negroes, who have been removed to the outskirts of the city. , On Friday, October 7th, in the Prize Court at Philadelphia, the claim made to a portion of the cargo of the prize steamer Chatham was heard and dismissed. It was alleged on the part of the claimant that he was a loyal citizen of Georgia, and that he had turned his Confederate money into cotton, and watched an opportunity to put it on board the Chatham, which ran the blockade. The decision, adverse to the claim, was made on the ground that no article of commence can be passed out of a blockaded port without rendering them liable to--confiscation. Med. Exam’g Board, 3d Congressional Dis. The Front, Office of the Montgomey- Mail, Tuesday, 10 p. u. The first intelligent account wc have received of the whereabouts and situation of the Army of Ten nessee, reaches us through a private letter to a well known gentleman of this city. On the 23d ultimo, Hood’s army passed Brooke vile in North Alabama. At this point it separated in three columns, all making for the Tennessee river at three different points—Decatur, Whitesburg and Gunter’s Landing. Sherman’s army followed nearly up to the Coosa river. His advance skirmished with Wheeler’s cav alry up to the vicinity of Gadsden. Here the Fed eral commander halted, and then went back, appar ently non plussed at the movement’s of our array. By this time it is supposed that the three columns of our army are safely over the river, and that they have converged somewhere in the vicinity of Hunts ville. The general impression is that its future course will be in the direction of Tuscumbia. Every thing was progressing favorably arid all were in confident spirit. [Correspondence Montgomery Advertiser.] Latest from the Front. Jacksonville, Ala., Oct. 30, 1864. It is currently reported here this morning that General Hood has captured Decatur and a large amount of prisoners and stores. An officer from that vicinity says that the news is true, and that four thousand Yankees, in cluding three regiments of negroes, fell into our hands without the firing of a gun. I have some doubts about the information, but trust it may turn out true. It is necessary for Gen. Hood to seize that point, if he has not already done so, in order to successfully prosecute his campaign in Tennessee. He undoubtedly de signs making that his base of operations. It is further reported that Gen. Cheatham was marching upon Huntsville, and believed that that city has fallen into our hands. Sher man has .a strong garrison there, which he no doubt strengthened as soon as our army cross ed the river. We can hear nothing further from Gen. Hood’s operations. Communica tion with it and this point is now attended with difficulty. He has cut loose from Blue Mountain and Jacksonville as a base of sup plies. Ourcavalry officers immediately in front of this town appear to be in doubt themselves as to the force and designs of the enemy on the Coosa. There is no doubt, however, but that they are in the neighborhood of Bluff with infantry, cavalry and artillery. On last Thursday a force of fifteen hundred cavalry, under Kilpatrick, advanced to Ladiga, thirteen miles northeast of this place, and in this coun ty. They were met by Gen. Ferguson’s brig ade, and a hard fight of ten hours’ duration followed. Ferguson finally drove the enemy from every part of the field and captured his dead, mortally wounded and three prisoners. They left twelve of the former on the ground. In their retreat the enemy took the Rome road. Subsequent scouting parties failed to discover any force this side of the Coosa. Many officers of Gen. Wheeler’s cavalry are of the opinion that Sherman will send a strong force down the Selma and Blue Mountain rail road, and that he is under the impression that Hood is drawing his supplies over that way. Gen. Wheeler has received instructions to fall back in front of such a column should it ad vance. Nothing would gratify Gen. Hood more than for Sherman to make such a dispo sition of any of his army corps, while he is redeeming Tennessee. My own impression is that no such expedition will be maue. There is nothing along that line upon which to sub sist a force strong enough to make the move ment successful. It is further hoped that the Yankee General will hold on to Atlanta and all other captured points between there and Chattanooga until the great battle for Tennessee is fought. If that is *lone our success is assured. There was a rumor at Gen. Beauregard's headqur ters the other day that Atlanta had been cap tured by Gen. Iverson. i; I hope.” said the General. ‘-that it is not true, I expect it to he captured but not now.” The theory advanced by one of your city cotemporaries that Corinth and Shiloh are again to be occupied is whollr untiue. For that matter, these historic places are already in our posession. Bat now, as three years ago. they are of no strategic importance. The present grand advance has a far deeper mean ing than that. • DUNLBITH. Skilled Labor in the Workshops. There being some misapprehension on the subject, we take pleasure in calling attention to the fact that the recent General Orders to strengthen our armies in the field, do not con template the withdrawal of skilled or trained * mechanical labor from the Government work shops. -On the contrary, • the policy of the Govern ment is to attract to the Confederacy and to retain this valuable element in a nation's-pros perity. While it is necessary that every able bodied man should be sent to the front, it is equally necessary that skilled labor should be retained in the service of the Government* We are led to.these remarks from a pre vailing misapprehension on the subject, and upon information that steps are in progress to withdraw permanently from military service those now in the trenches. . The zeal and excellent conduct of our me chsnics in rushing to the front iu the-hour of danger is worthy of all praise, but that hour has passed, ;od it is evident to all thinking men that tin best interests of our cause re quire their permanent services in the arse nals and workshops of the Confederacy. [Richmond Enquirer. Captured Campaign Documents. Among the captured property at Strasburg, which fell into the hands of one of our officers, was a bag filled with political documents. One of these was a tract containing the Two Platforms in parallel columns, and at the bot tom the following commentary on them : POINTS or DIFFERENCE. The rival Platforms just given, differ, as will be seen, mainly on these points : 1. The Union Platfoirn affirms that the Union is to be maintained .“by quelling by force of arms the Rebellion now raging against its authority ; while the Democratic Platform condemns the National effort to do this as a failure, and demands “immediate efforts for a cessation of hostilities” with a view to “peace at. the earliest practical moment.” In other words : The Union Platform looks to the end ing of the war through the defeat and over throw of the rebellion, while the Democratic contemplates peace through the virtual tri umph of the traitors. 2. The Union Platform regards slavery as the exciting, guilty cause of the Rebellion'and demands the suppression of that cause in the interest of “justice and the national safety.” The Democratic is silent in terras as to slave ry ; but manifestly contemplates its perpetua tion and fortification under the “restored Union ft longs for.” 3. The Union Platform regards the Rebelion as flagrantly wrong—iniquitous, inexcusable and justly exposing its contrivers to punishment. Tho Democratic, on the other hand, has no word of condemnation for the treason, nor of reproof for its authors. 4. The Union platform approves generally aud heartily the efforts of President Lincoln and his cabinet to put down tho rebels and save the Re public. The Democratic, on the other hand con demns the official action of the President and his Cabinet most sweepingly ; finding fault with al most every act as arbitrary, usurping and per nicious. 5. Wbile the Democratic platform proffers sympathy to tho soldiers and sailors fighting against the rowels, it nowhere intimates that the cause for which they fight is righteous and just. It censures our own Government for the cruelties and privations which our captured soldiers have endured at the hands of the rebels, but it has no word of -condemnation for their authors. The Union platform not only returns the thanks of the American people to our soldiers and sailors, but proposes a national recognition of their pariotism and valor, with permanent provision for those disabled in their country’s service, and efficient protection for so many as are expeeted to pecu iiar perns. Freemen of the United States! read, mark, weigh, resolve and VOTE ! This is pre-eminently a contast regarding im portant principles and measures, compared with which, personal considerations are of small ac count. Gen. Price. —The Federal account of the defeat and rout es this brave old warrior, should be ta ken with many grains of allowance. He may have been overpowered by superior numbers and forced to giva way, but it is far more probable that the report of Confederate disaster is ona of the multitude of lies with which the Lincoln pa pers will abound botween this and the election, — We wager our pocket knife that “Daddy Pries” is all right, in spite of Yankee despatches to the contrary. The Chiougo Times says truly, that if “lying and electricity will hold out,” the North may ex pect within the next fourteen days to hear of the most astounding Yankee military achievements. It will bo safe iu the meantime not to believe a word Stanton telegraphs to Dix, or that appears in a Lincoln paper.— Sav. Rep. Siege of Charleston—Four Hundred and Eightt-Fxrst Day. —Since last report up to six p. m., Monday, forty shots were fired at the city. Some activity was observed iu the fleet, espe cially with the river steamers and small boats that were busy moving among the several ves sels. The enemy continue busily employed hauling ammunition to Batteries Gregg and Wagner, and the Middle Battery. No increase of vessels iu the fleet is reported. Three Yankees, a sergeant, and two privates, who made their escape from the guard some day last week, were caught Sunday night, in an open boat, by our pickets, and sent to jail. They were endeavoring to reach Morris’ Islam!. Another Yankee, a Lieutenant Selden, who Es caped from Columbia, S. C., was caught at Mount Pleasant Sunday night and brought to the city Monday. He will be returned to the Colum bia jail to-day. In consequence of the sickness of Colonel John F. Lay, the Flag of Truce communication to take place near Savannah on the 3d instant witl be conducted on the part of General Har dee by Colonel J. R. Waddy as Agent of "Ex change. A Daring and Successful Adventure.— Captain Henry F. Smith, of Marshal coun ty, and his gallant command, have executed another of their daring and successful feats. On Saturday night, the 22d ultimo, they crossed over the Tennessee river a few miles below Larkin’s landing, thirty-five strong, where the notorious tory Capt. Hamlin, -frith his band of marauders were located, and for* tified themselves, and from whence they had made frequent incursions upon the citizens of the river, stealing, robbing and plunder ing indiscriminately. They soon reached th« tory camp, and succeeded -in routing the to ries, capturing their camps and supplies, killed eighteen and Captured ten. with twenty-seven horses, over-coats blankets, and many other articles of value, all of which were brought safely to this side of the riser, without the loss of a man. At the time of the attack there were over two hundred of these cowardly dogs in camps For the want of a sufficient number of men te invest the place, many of them made their escape. Hamlin had his clothes pierced with several builet*. Hod was wounded, but made his escape. It was the gallant conduct of such men as Capt Smith and Col. Mead, that compelled the Yankees to say that Jackson county had earned her independence. [Mont. Advertiser. (FIVE DOLLARS \ PER MONTH. From East Tennessee. —From the Bristol Register, we learn that on the 21st, the enemy were routed at Beans’s Station, by Major Day of Vaughn’s command, with oue killed and a few wounded on our side. The enemy pre tended to be making for Powder Spring Gap, but were evidently trying to reach the fortifi cations at Knoxville". A tew of Duke’s dismounted men, üßaerthe command of Lieut. Ritchie, encountered a par ty of bushwhackers south of Clmcky river, un der the lead of the notorious Calvin Haney. Lieut. Richie was killed, undone of his men wounded. Haney was shot to pieces. Lieut. Ritchie was a hrave and gallant officer. Advices to the 22d. indicate that the enemy had found out that there is no force hi his rear, and has turned on Gen. Vaughn. They drew up yesterday in line of battle at Mossy Creek. Previously they had prepared fora siege at Knoxville, where, according to the accounts of union men, great excitement, pre vailed. They still hold Strawberry Plains. Gen. \ aughn has been skirmishing with them. The enemy are running a train from Knox ville to Newmarket ; but our forces have de-. stroyed the railroad from thence to Bull’s Gup. The enemy below has been reinforced bv the 10th Michigan and 14th Kentucky Battal ion of cavalry ; and it is probable they have also received reinforcements ofinfantry. Gen. Vaughn, however, is able to meet and check this demonstration if he is sustained by the Government His command is effi cieiTt; but it really needs some attention on the part of the Government. East Tennessee is an important strategic point, apart from other considerations, which should urge its occupation. We shall endeavor to point out the importanceot movements in this direction hereafter.— Petersburg Express: We clip tho following from the Charleston Mer cury : ANOTHER SUCCESS IN FLORIDA. The following despatch, dated on Saturday, was received yesterday morning at Department Head quarters : To General Hardee:—Capt. Dickinson yester day attacked a eavaly force of fort}' men, five miles from Magnolia, killing and wounding half of their force, and capturing twenty-three men, including nine wounded, besides horses, equip ments, &c. Wm. Miller, Brigadier General. The. Enemy in Polk County.- We learn that, the Federal General Kilpatrick, on last Sunday with a heavy cav-alry foroe, made his headquar ters two miles from Van Wert, in Polk county, en the road to Rome ; and that the Yankee cavalry were foraging all over that county, wlieTe they were gathering in large quantities of corn. Major Murkerson, with his battalion, had several skir mishes with them, and one or two severe fights, in which, we learn, he proved successful. We have been promised a detailed account of the gallant Major’s operations in that section of our State.' We have been requested, in connection with the foregoing, to advise the refugees from Polk coun ty, who designed going home, not by any means to think of doing so at this time, that county be ing overrun by Sherman’s cavalry, — lntelligencer. The War in Kentucky. — Louisville, Oct. 21 The Journal says that the rebel General Lyon has 500 men under his command, and tint, his move on the south side of the Cum berland river, indicates an attempt to strike the Nashville and Northwestern railroad near Charlotte. Four regiments of rebels are reported at Ceutreville, in Hickman county, but to whose command they belong is unknown. Scouts reports that Forrest is again cross ing the Tennessee river below Florence,'Ala. A force of 400 rebels was at Owensboro’ on Friday, and on the same day a guerrilla lea der calling himself Col. Chencevvorth, was in Henderson. He had committed but few dep redations. It is thought that the several bands of out laws who are scattered along the Ohio river, between the mouth of Salt river and Evans ville, will number 20,000 men. I The Meeting of the Governors.— The follow ing, from the Raleigh Standard, shows that the ac tion of the Governors enjoys the high support of that paper’s disapprobation : We publish to-day, from the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, the resolutions adopted by the Gov ernors at their recent meeting in that city. These resolutions breathe nothing bu the mo3t ultra war spirit. We are not and sappointed in them. They are just what we expected. These Governors, co-operating as dependents or auxiliaries with the central government at Richmond, seem determined j to accept no compromise; but to prosecute the war I to annihilation, or, at least, at the lowest point of exhaustion an I ruin. — ■■wg» • mm . Systematic Study.—Sir Edward Buiwer | Lytton, at Bishops Stortford a few da > - ago observed: “Many persons seeing me so much engaged in active life, and as much ebon- the world as if I had never been a student, have said to me, ‘When do you get the time, to write all your books ? flow on earth do you con trive to do so much work V I shall perhaps surprise you by the answer I make—trie an swer is this : ‘I contrive to do so much by never doing much at a time.’ A man. to get through work well,- must not overwork him self, for if he do too much 10-day, the reac tion of fatigue will come, and he will be obliged to do little to-morrow. Now, since I began really and earnestly to stud'. which was not till I had left College and was actu ally in the world, 1 may perhaps say that I I have gone through as large a course of gen-- eral reading as most nyjn of my time. 1 have travelled much—l have mixed much in poli tics and in the various business of life, and in addition to all this, I have published some where above sixty yolumes, some upon sub jects requiring much special research. And what time do you think,-as a general rule, I have devoted to study—to reading and wri- I ting? Not more than three hours a day. and when Parliament is sitting notalways that.— j But, then, during these hours I have given my j whole attention to what I was about." The Bayonet Charge.— The Array and Navy Gazette, Ac., of June 4th, gives the following prac tical suggestions on that subject. They nay be useful: It is a general rule in the service of Her Majesty, as well as throughout the armies of Europe, that troops before charging with the bayonet sh mid fire a volley, in order to throw confusion into the ranks of the enemy, as well as to cause a smoke f r them to advance under. The advantage over the present system would be tenfold, the rear rank alone to fire, the front rank remaining at the shouldej till the word charge be given, and then firing from the hip as they crossed bayonet with, the e- emy.— Such a fire could but be most cffectii I, tor re quires neither aim r.or skill of ny ki oi— fact, nothing but a mere pre*suse on the trigger— to en sure the result being most deadly, it hei g"in 'ni possibility rim a bullet can mis-, when me Cos is notthreefeet from the enemy. When the men fire, they would be able to act instantaneously afu-r the volley, and the; fore there would not be sufficient time lor the gat-s caused by the fire to be.filled up in the ranks of the enemy, and consequently there would be a greater certainty of putting them to confu-ion At present, from the smoke and confu sion likely to take place at a period imm /J u Iy preceding a charge, the men are unable to r •: ‘ hat accurate aim without which ihe rifle i-u The bayonet would be mimh more efi-’ctiv* -.en preceded by a fire as certain as it is dea l • V- • re sent an enemy ha* ar least some three or *• r min utes to right itself a tor receiving lnetfeciu.i. o: ••• Tue most simple plan must be the bes an i noth ing can be more .-imp : thm that which requires • neither aim nor skill of any kind beyond the power ! «f pre*sing the trigger and advancing on the enemy We conv the following beautiful li'tle nsen* from tbo Halifax Morning Journal: (Trom the British Anny and Navy Review.)

The rebel prisoners, including General Page aud other officers a "id some privates, numbering in all nearly two hun dred, are detained at Quarantine <;n board the steamship Continental.

Tho rebel camp on Hart’s Island is not quito ready to receive prisoners, tho workmen not having made as rapid progress as was expected. The fence across the Island remains to be completed. —Neic York Poss. Oct. 19fA. ♦ —«. Blockade Runner Sunk. —On Wednesday night, of last week the outer blockading vessels off Charleston suifk a blockado runner trying to run into the city by the inner channel. She was a side-wheeler, with two smoke stacks and two masts. Her masts and smoke stacks are now visible, but her hull is entirely submerged. She was sunk at a point on Long Islaud out of reach of the rebel batteries, and it is probable she may be raised and portions of her cargo saved. The same night the advance picket boats drove back a steamer which attempted to run out Several volleys of musketry were unheeded, but a few rounds from a howitzer on a boat from the Pawnee caused her to put back in a liurrv.— SV. Y. Herald. The Paris Revue des Deux Mondes says that an English missionary in Madagascar talks as follows, in his’effort so discredit the French missionaries : ’“My good friends,” said be lately to his Madagascan hearers, “properly speaking, there are only two religions, the English and Freneh. But you will say which is best ? The Eng lish is the one; and for a very simple reason ; because Jesus Christ was born in England.— There lie lived, there he preached, and found ed his church. Many times the French want ed to get Him among them ; but He never would go to Paris, preferring to stop in Lon don. Now you know why our religion is the best.” - HEADQ’RS CONSCRIPT SERVICE.
