Tn assuming .pomdSand at this critical juncture, of the Military’Division of the West, I appeal to my countrymen of all classes and sections, for their generous support and confidence.* In assigning me to this responsible position, the President of the Confederate States, has* extended to me tne assurance of his earnest support: The Executives of your States meet me with similar ex pression- of their 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 ill ton. 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 the 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 defiantlj\ holds the city of Atlanta; he can and must be driven from it. It is only for the good people of Georgia and 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, sec to it, that none remain at home who are able to strike a blow in this critical and decisive hour.. To those soldiers of the army, who are absent from their commands without leave, I appeal in the name of their brave comrades, with whom they have in the 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 i:t response to this appeal, within the next thirty days, an amnesty is hereby granted. My appeal is to every one, of all classes- and con ditions, to come forward freely, cheerfully and with a good heart, to the work that lies before us. My countrymen! respond to this cal) as you have done in days that have past, 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 brjital foe, shall be established, soon to be [folio wed j>y a pertnen mt and honorable peace. The claims of borne and country, wife and children, uniting with the demands of honor and sumfnon us to the field; we cannot, dare not, will not failfio respond. Full of hope and confidence, I come to join in your struggle, sharing your privations, %rid with your brave and true men, to striae the blow that shall bring success to our arms, triumph to our cause, and peace to our country.

Each branch of the General Assembly con vened in their respective balls to-day at 10 A. M. Upon calling the r >ll a quorum was found present and they preceded at once to business. The Gov ernor sent in his annual message which was read, and elicited the remark from several, that his Ex cellency had not shown very good taste in its preparation, an i a? usual, it was marked by con siderable length and a variety ol subjects.

Gen.

After read ing the me3age both branches adjourned. TROUP. * The Front. Front the Selma Dispatch of the Ist we take the following: From a prominent citizen of Madison coun ty, we have the reported capture of Decatur confirmed. This gentleman, who left Whites burg on Friday last, states that Decatur, with 3,000 prisoners—half negro troops—was cap tured by Stewart’s corps, of Hood’s army, on Wednesday, the 26th ult. When our informant left Whitesburg heavy firing was heard in the direction of Huntsville, supposed to be an attack by our forces on that place. We give the above report full credit as be iflgyAn the main, reliable. * The Macon Telegraph of the 3d says : In an official dispatch to Blue Mountain, Gen. Wheeler said that “the movement of Gen. Hood had been a complete success.” iThat “he had Sherman's army completely at ,his mercy,” and that the “enemy would soon be forced back beyond the Tennessee.” The Mississippian has a letter dated “On j the War Path, Oct. 28th,” which speaks of ! movements after leaving Gadsden as follows : The troops moved off in the most exhilara ting spirits, and cheer upon cheer echoed from mountain to bill, as it was taken up by each regiment when the command “forward” was given. Stewart’s corps, which has won the sobri quet of “Flying Wtbfeet,” led the advance ; j then Lee : then Cheatham, with Wheeler on : the flank, Red Jackson in the rear, while the : heroic “war eagle” cleared the front. They crossed the Tennessee at Guntersville on pontoons, and now have an established base (should they advance no further,) con siderably north of any point we,have held within twelve months. Thus, arfter a cam paign of unparalleled hardships and duration, and unprecedented losses. Sherman has gain ed possession of a city which he cannot hold, (and if he could, now ceases to be of value to him,) while Gen. Hood simply “changes his base” and finds himself in a position held by the enemy two years ago, with his base of communications complete. Now Hood will have to be driven back over the ground of ’62, and will have the strong hold of Corinth at his back. Med. Exam’g Board, 3d Congressional Dis. [From the Richmond Dispatch, 31st ult.] The War News. Nothing of importance has occurred on the lines below Richmond since we whipped the enemy on the Darby town and Williamsburg roads last Thurs day. On Saturday morning at daylight the Yankees were seen in motion along the- whole front of our left and centre, and it was for a time believed they were preparing to attack us, Heavy masses of troops could be dimly seen in the grey of the morn ing apparently advancing towards our lines. Some of these approached so near the line in front of Fort Gilmer that everything was gotten in readiness to open upon them. But, as the day became brighter, it was discovered that what had had the appear ance of an advance was nothing more than the 18th Yankee corps and other troops returning to the positions held by them previous to the battle of Thursday. The 18th corps returned to Fort Harri son and its vicinity, and by midday the Yankee forces had settled down into their old positions.— Later in the day they had a grand dress parade in full view of our troops. Yesterday morning the quiet that preceded the battle of Thursday had again settled down on the hostile lines. « * . It has been ascertained that Grant crossed no troops to the north side last Wednesday Dight, but made the movements and fights of Thursday with the forces which were already on this side—the Army of the James. It was a most bloody and dis astrous affair to him, both here and south of Peters burg; but it is easy to foretell how he has explain ed it away to his masters at Washington, fie has said that, under cover of a demonstration against the rebel lines on the Darby road, a part of the 18th corps were sent on a reconnoissance across to the Williamsburg road, where, finding strong works held by a large force of rebels, and the object of tho reconnoissance being fully accomplished, it was not thought expedient to do more than feel the enemy’s line, after which the 18th corps was with drawn with slight loss. FROM MISSOURI. Notwithstanding the blazing telegrams of the Yankee press about the defeat of Price, it is ex tremely doubtful if there has been any reverse to our arms. . A simple paragraph in a late Baltimore paper says; “It is rumored that Rosecrans has met with a reverse in Missouri.” There is a report abroad in this city that Price, having been joined by his forces from the north side of the Missouri river, had met Rosecrans and defeated him in a general battle; that Shelby and Clarke had taken Kansas City, at the junction of the Missouri and Kansas rivers. This is a strong position, and completely commands the Missouri river. FROM THE VALLEY. There was a rumor prevalent .yesterday that Bri gadier General Williams, with his cavalry, had met a detachment of the enemy’s cavalry in the vicinity of Strasburg and defeated them, capturing a num ber of horses and killing and wounding a consider able part of the Yankee forge- While a Confederate Lieutenant named Kitchen was conducting some business under flag of truce near Morganza, La., one of his mer. discovered a colored soldier in Yankee ranks who had belonged to his father until quite lately. He at once became abusive and would not'be checked in his use of the most violent language. Lieutenant Kitchen finally struck him over the hi and with his pistol. At the verv instant the comrade of the man, who stood near him. drew h:s pistol and shot the Lieutenant dead. Aft? ward these two men escaped to Yankee lines, claiming protection; but General Lawler a* once placed them in close confinement.an tno w holds them in read iness to be delivered to the Confederate autho when proper xenaani is made for then;. General L. prov.red a coffin, and seat an ambulance for t..- Body of Lieutenant K.. and when it was brought to his headquarters, he ordered a flag of trace to start with it to the Confederate lines ar I transmitted a re port of the r »:nf il affair latest from the United States. FROM SHERMAN’S ARMY—SHERMAN S POSITION. A dispatch from Nashville, dated the 26th, says that Sherman is at Gay lesville. Alabama, near the Coosa river, andAhat Hood is retreat ing towards Gadsden, Alabama. The rail road from Chattanooga to Atlanta was to be completed on Thursday. A letter frcdsi Chat tanooga, dated the 26th, says: As the chances of a grand battle with Hood's army, the same being nicely sandwiched be tween two of our armies, each larger than the lame Texan's whole host, recede day by day, we begin to lose interest in the affair. We know that we can get to Atlanta before Hood if he turns that way ; we know that troops, new and old, are pouring in here with rapidity and body, hardly excelled by the gathering of the hosts last spring ; we hear from the Gate City every day, from officers and men whose furloughs were burning their pockets, and who were not to be intimidated by a day’s march of twenty-one miles, from which distance there is a gap in the railroad to Atlanta; we have seen, and consequently know very positively, that the troops here have pushed to the front, and are now in communication with Sherman ; we know that Hood can get away if he wants to, and that he has such a desire and that the’ result of all this knowledge is to detract from the relish fol* the latest rumor from the front. Shertnafi holds Ship’s Gap and Snake Creek gap in the mountains tending southeast from Dalton, and at last advices had his headquar ters near there. It is not probable that he will attempt a headlong pursuit of the enemy , and his army could not be very well supplied if he went very fast or very far. He is now occu pying a position which will prevent, at pres ent, any further raids, in great force, on his communications, and it evidently behooves him, since the enemy disdains to cover South ern Georgia, to make such a disposition of his army as to prevent the repetition of an attack in the rear. An officer, jvho left Atlanta three days ago, ha3 given me the stafug Os affairs there. The garrison—which is sufficient to make a pro longed resistance to Hood’S frholt force—have been working day and night on fortifications, and have completed three new lines inside the outer line, which was designed for a large army. The lasl t or inner line, is drawn close around the heart of the city, enclosing all munitions andaupplies, and could be held to the last extremity. Rations arg abundant, in cluding sugar and coffee enough to last or days. Fttrage is scarce, and,the public ani mals are somewhat stinted in their provender; but. enough to keep them in tolerable spirits gathered from the adjacent country. The rebel cavalry, it is not known in what force, hovers south and west of the city, en acting the role assumed by «he Twentieth corps in Sherman’s movement on Jonesboro —that is, standing ready to occupy the city whenever the outwitted Yankees have the goodness to retire. THE LATEST FROM HOOD S ARMY. The Yankees say they nave nothing more from Sherman. -A.telegram from Nashville, dated the 27th. says that the Confederate Gen eral Lyon has crossed the Tennessee river near the mouth of White Oak creek. A ne gro soldier who had escaped from Gen. Hood’s army reports that Lee’s corps, of that army was marching to Whitesburg, there to cross the river. The main body was to cross at Gunter's landing. Men on the gunboats in the Tennessee river saw picket fires on the mountains at Gunter’s landing iast Tuesday morning. The Herald thus sums' up the sit uation : We have nothing later from General Sherman. We learn from an officer recently advised from high military authority that the report of the crit ical situation of Sherman’s army in Georgia, for want of commissary supplies, is unfounded. At the time of Hood’s movements northward there were at Atlanta twenty day’s supplies for the whole Union army. The departure of the larger portion in pursuit of Hood leaves nearly three month’s supplies for the garrison in the town. There is a scarcity of forage, but the ab sence of the majority of the animals will allow for some weeks a sufficiency for those that remain.— Altoona, another important post, is also well sup plied. The base of Sherman’s present opera tions is at Chattanooga, at which point there is an abundance of stores on hand, besides which it has uninterrupted railroad communication with Nashville, and the roads are busy, night and day, forwarding additional, supplies. For the present, all anxiety in relation to Sherman’s safety is with out a cause. THE REPORTED DEFEAT OF GENERAL PRICE IN MISSOURI —YANKEE STATEMENTS ABOUT IT.- Telegrams from St. Louis, on the 27th, say that General Price bas been driven below Fort Scott, and that among the prisoners captured from him were Generals Marraaduke and Cabell. From this we infer that the reported death of Gene ral Cabeil ad Pilot Knob a few days since is in correct. In the great battle in'which Price is re ported to have been defeated, on the 23d, the Yankee loss i3 put at seventy-five; so we can safely conclude that no great battle has taken place. The telegrams say : Our forces have been . driving Price rapidly since Sunday, and at last accounts he was twen ty-five or thirty miles southeast of Fort Scott, and his army routed and dispersed. On Tuesday, we had several fights with him between Mound City and Fort Scott, in all of which he was badly whipped, losing one thousand five hundred prison ers and ten or twelve pieces of artillery. Among the prisoners are Major-General Marmaduke and Brigadier-General Cabell, several colonels and other officers. . Price was again attacked yesterday morning a short distance north of Fort Scott and driven pell-’ meil in a southeasterly direction. He burned two hundred wagons yesterday to prevent them being captured. Nothing is stated about the loss on either side, but there seems to be no doubt that Price’s army is completely demoralized and scat tered. The telegraph is working to Fort Scott but nothing has been received in regard to to day’s operations except that our forces are still in vigorous pursuit. General Steele, wiih heavy re inforcements, is at Fort Smith, with the prob able view of contesting Price's entrance into Ar kansas. The Union loss in the battle of the 23d was seventy-five. The wounded were sent to Leaven worth 'on Monday. The rebels were chased all Sunday night. Constant fighting with their rear guard was kept up. At daylight, they made a stand, and were handsomely whipped again. Most of the Kansas militia have gone home. ' Mart’al law is abolished and business is resumed. General Rosecrans was at Little Santa Fe, 12 miles south of Kansas City, with hi? infantry, on Tuesday night. Despatches in the border paper? ?ay that a train from Fort Smith, was attacked by bushwhacker? south of Fort Scott. Sixteen men were killed and a part of the train burned. About fifteen hundred refugees accompanied the train. About one hundred guerrilla?, under Captain Taylor, entered Maramonton, a few miies from Fort Scott, at 12 o’clock on Saturday night, and murdered Colonels Knowles. Brown. Hawkins, McGenigie. Chadwick and Stout, who were m rout* N'wfh. and old Squire Reynold-- and two other citizen?, and burned two store? and churches and several Iwellrntrs. Five hunareU rebel?. under Lieut. Col. MiDua iels, crossed the Hannibal and St. Joseph railroad en Monday, going north. A strong force has seer, sect after them. J FIVE DOLLARS l PER MONTH. Price's Invasion. We are in receipt late St. Louis papers, giving lengthy accountsof Price’s tour through Missouri General Price seems to have made thorough work, whereverj he went Thedt a truction of the Iron Mountain and Pacific railroads was comptete. The Osage bridge, ou the Pacific, 117 miles from St. Louis, was about the most magnificent structure given to the devouring element-. It was 1.122 feet in length, with six spans, and a draw 181 feet in width The work was built in 1855, but has been renewed, in first class style and with many valuable improvements since last No vember. Only one span is left standing. The Gasconade bridge, 88 miles from St. Louis has all beer, totally destroyed. Its length was 759 feet, including four spans and a draw 183 feet wide, all constructed in 1856, and re newed within a year and a half past Boeuf Creek Bridge, seventy miles from St. Louis, consisted ot a single span of 160 feet, with seventy feet of approaches, making the whole length 230 feet. It was put up in 1855. The destruction of this bridge was total.— Next, the Big Berger Bridge, three miles be yond, shared the same fate. It had 120 feet span, was 190 feet ioag—with the approaches —was built in 1855. and renewed four years later. The Little Berger Bridge, five miles further on, was also given to the flames. It spanned ninety feet, was built in 1855 and re newed about two years ago. The Cole Creek Bridge, eightv-four miles from St. Louis, spanning 160 feet, was built in 1853 and re newed in 1860. Baily Creek Bridge, ninety three miles from St. Louis had a single span 210 feet, was built in 1856 and made n#w in 1862. At Cole Creek thirty cars were burn ed ; at South Point, two, and one at New Port, making a loss of thirty-three ears. Two engines captured at Cole (’reek were not des troyed, as published, but damaged to the ex-- tent ofv»§U.,soo each. A third, taken at Mil ler’s Landing, was injured to the amount of SI,OOO. The engines and relics of the trains are recovered. Os water tanks and station ary engines, aparatus for raising water, two were burned at Franklin, one at Washington, one at Miller’s Landing, 1 at Hermann and 1 at Deer Creek. Burned Depots: One at Franklin, Gray’s, Summit, South Point, Wash ington, Miller. Landing, Herman. At Frank lin were also destroyed : a machine shop, en gine house, woodshed. The above are the losses on the main ’Hne of the road. Those on the Southwest Branch are imperfectly pre sented as follows : —Bush cree"k bridge, near Franklin, thirty-seven miles from .St. Louis, one span of 110 feet, built in 1858. Maramac bridge No. 1, fwo miles beyond, four spans, 525 feet in all. Only two spans, of 220 feet were burned. Maramac bridge No. 2, or Moselle bridge, 40 miles from St Louis, three 9pans, of 385 feet are burned. Two water stations on the Branch, including stationary engines were burnt. Depots at St. Glaif, Sul livan, Cuba, Burbon, and one other, $12,500 ir. all. Os 15,000 cords of corded wood on the Southwest Branch, 3,000 cords of it in one pile, a large portion has Ijeen burned, but the precise amount is not known. All the railroad men engaged on- the work of extending the line beyond Jefferson City have fled with their teams and wagons to In dependence and Kansas City. The suspension of progressing improvements, and the delay of the grand enterprise of extending the track to Kansas City will constitute one of the severest items of the disaster. A3 might be expected the abolitionists are raising a great howl over the destruction or this and other property by Price. Their eyes were closed when Sher man and Grant, Steele and McNeil, Pope and Hooker overrun and destroyed our country and murdered and outraged our people. The work of retaliation has just begun, and may it continue until the enemy is made to feel what we have felt and see what we have seen. [ Clarion. Ail Expression of Opinion. Athens, Ga., October 25th, 1364. At a meeting of the officers of Roberson’s, Di brell’s and Williams’ Brigades, held in Athens, Ga., Oct. 25th, 1364, it tfaß unanimously resolved to publish the following CARD. Athens, Ga., Oct. 25th, IS6L We have noticed with deep regret and pain that in the various accounts given of the battle of Salt ville, Va., none has ascribed the credit of that victory to the General who commanded and the troops who achieved jt. Having been present and personally engaged with our commands, w; know that the troops who fought t*at battle were the brigades of Geri. Robertson, Col. Dibrell and Gen. Williams, (the latter under Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge)—3ix hundred Virginia Reserve? and detailed men, and . Col. Giltner’s command of ttfo hundred men, belonging to the Depart ment of Western Virginia—all commanded by Brig. General John S. Williams who was on the field, made all the dispositions and commanded in person during the fight. An attempt to attribute to-others the credit of that fight is gross injustice To a brave and veteran officer, who has on so many battle fields shown hi3 and who on that day, so gallantly led us, ’and to troops who, after a march of fifteen hundred miles upon the first intimation that Virginia needed their services, cheerfully rushed to her defence. Certain official and unofficial accounts give to Gen. Jdo. C. Breckinridge the credit ofthe victory, and others to Gen. Echol?. A proper appreciation of his services by his country, is the soldier’s only reward, and we would not deprive any -of justly earned laurels ; but we know that General? Breck inridge and Echols were in Abingdon, Va., 13 miles distant, during the fight— that they did not reach the field until the engagement was over, and are informed, did not even know that it was in progress. We deem it due to the gallant officer who com manded us, under the peculiar circumstances in which he is placed—to the troops who fought un der us, and to ourselves, to make this statement, that bur countrymen may know to whom really belongs the credit of a victory so important in its results.* Confederate papers are requested to publish this card. ‘ C.

Encouraging from the Trans-Mississippi.— We take great pleasure in lading before our readers the following cheering paragraph, from the report of Senator Semmes' late speech in Mobile: Mr. Semmes concluded .with a brief view of the situation beyond the Mississippi. XV e have there a large army; how large would not be proper for mm to say; and it is constantly iPreasing under the operations of the conscription law, which corn! not herotofore be enforced. Butnow we hold the coun try down to the Atchafalaya: the jaws of tne Jrtate and of Congress are executed to that limit- sup plies of ail kinds are ample, the army cannot con sume the tithe of corn, and of meat there is nearly as great an abundance, while our laboratories at Shreveport. La., Tyler, Texas, and elsewhere are turning out everything needed in the way of arms, ordnance -tores. Ac. With alt this, the-} irk of the people of Louisiana, among whom he had travelled extensively, was indomitable. In the midst of the blackened remains of their once happy homes, their determination to persevere to the end was only s lengthened, by the wrong? and suffering they were enduring. Nowhere except ir, Virginia—to which Stare he conceded the palm for sublime hero ism-had he seen so much distress, so mucu m blenching resolution.

Fonest has blocked the Tennessee river completely. All communication be tween Paducah and Johnsonsville has been cut off, and the railroad to Nashville is of no use to the enemy. Forrest’s batteries were engaged all day yesterddy. Two gunboats and four transports were captured or destroyed. One of the gun boats and two of the transports are now being used by Forrest, and will be of great advan tage in the important movements now on foot. One gunboat and three transports are still up the river, and will be captured. Clinton, La.. Nov. Ist.—Hon. Henry Gray, of Bienville Parish, is elected to Congress in place of Hon. 8.. L.

A Portentous Threat. —The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald throws out the following warning to whom it may concern : There are indications which forebode impm taut military'movements and operations -o< which will be calculated to change materially, and there is every reason to believe for the better, tho present situation of affairs. Tli .* lull at present precedes a storm which will sorely try the ability and endurance of the rebel leaders and armies, and must seriously imperil the continued existence even of the Confebleracv itself. From Wilvungton, (via Charlottesville.) — The Charlottesville Chronicle of last week says : “Wo suspect General Bragg is going to Wil mington. Good bye, Wilmington.” The above appeared in the Richmond Enqui rer of the 26th, and we re-produce it only for the purpose of entering our unqualified dissent, and that our readers may see from the para graph itself the petty spite which dictated it.— While legitiuia.o ciitioism of the conduct of pub lie men is the right, and often the duty, of the press, it by no mean? follows that there can bo either justification or excuse for making that the cover of vulgar malice or unreasonable prej udice. The flippant style, “Ityod bye, Wilming ton,” of the writer, shows him not only deficient in the cultivated forms of expression, but also unappreciative of the peril of a town in a sister State, if he really believed what he wrote. A» manly sense of the danger and the consequences of failure would have given dignity to his lan guage and sadness, not pertness, to its tone— and he would have remembered, too, that in his effort to lessen public confidence in Gen. Bragg, he wa3 contribuiing to the very result ho would wish to be thought most to deprecate. If confi dence could be made or destroyed, or in any de gree affected by such attempts, then not only General Bragg, but nearly every other high rail iiary and civil officer in the country would find themselves from time to time the sport of flip pant censure or blatant eulogy. But fortunately it'is not so; and we who are iD Wilmington and nearest the danger, are unmoved by the leave taking.of the Chronicle, and equally so by the ready echo of the Enquirer. General Bragg is in his native State, and we believe justly enjoys the confidence of her people. They know him t® be well qualified for hisplacc, and unselfishly de voted to the eau«e, and they are willing to trust their in his hands, with a Cftjjfidcnt feeling that Wilmington will not be any deficien cy on his part. We have this fruit for the future ; and as to tho past, Gcu. Bragg can afford to wait, as he has been doing, for the vindio’ation of his ’public conduct. And like many others, his tame will only be the brighter when men shall come to understand his true history, and see how pa tiently and magnanimously he has borne, injustice for the sake of his country.— Wilmington Journal. More of the Baylo'r Si*"in. —The New York Tribune of the 22d. contains what it calls “An Im portant Document.” It is a paper signed by "ff. A. Stuart, Rome, Ga.; W. C. Hicks, M, D., Cayuga, Miss.; W. R. Smith, Randolph county, Ala., K®bt. S. Hifflin, member elect to the Alabama Legislature; A. A. West, do.; and it is addressed to Gov, Yates, ot Illinois. It is such a letter a- might be expected of traitors, and calls down fire and sword upon the States and people they pretend to belong to. Tho Tribune must be very scarce of "important news” to attach any consequence to what, these creatures say in villification and hate of the Confederacy.— W'e know nothing of them, but, judging by those elsewhere who have acted a similar part, they have always been scurvy fellows.— Hfphnond Sentinel.
