General Orders, )
No. 2. j
In entering upon the campaign AOQ.it to open,
the General-in-Chiet fee-s assured that the soldiers
who have so long and so nobly borne the hardships
and dangers of the war require no exhortation to
respond to the calls of honor and daty.
With the liberty transmitted by their foretataers
they have inherited the spirit to defend it. j
Tlie choice between war and abject submission is
before them. j
To such a proposal brave men, wita arms in their
hands, can have but one answer.
They cannot barter manhood for peace, nor the
right of self-government for life or property. j
But justice to them requires a sterner admonition
to those who have abandoned their comrades in the
hour of peril. , ..
A last opportunity is offered tnem to wipe out the
disgrace and escape ths punishment of their crimes.
By authority of the President of the Confederate
States, a pardon is announced to 3tieh deserters and
men improperly absent as shallfreturn to the com
mands to which they belong within the shortest
possible time, not exceeding twenty days from the
publication of this order, at the headquarters of the
lepartment in which they tnay be. . .
Those who may be prevented by interruption of
communication, may report within the time speci
fied to the nearest enrolling officer, or other oineer
on duty, to be forwarded as soon as practicable
and aeon presenting a certificate from such officer,
showing compliance with this requirement, will re
ceive the pardon hereby offered, a
Those who have deserted to the service ot the ene
my or who have deserted after having beeu once
pardoned for the same offence, and those who shall
desert; or absent themselves without authority, af
ter the publication of this order, are excluded from
its benefits. Nor does the offer of pardon ex,end to
ther offences than desertion and absence without
permission. ... . , , .
B» the same authority, it is aiso declared that no
general amnesty will again be granted, and thorn
wtu. refuse to accept the pardon now offered, or who
-*ll-11 hereafter desert or absent themselves without
leave, shall suffer such punishment as the courts
may impose, and no application for ciemeucy wil,
be entertained. . _ , . „ ...
Tailing new resolution fromtne fate wnicii our.en*
mies intend fur os. let every man devote all his en
ergies to the common defence. ,
Our resources, wsely and vigorously employed,
ire ample, and with a brave army, sustained by a
determined and united people, success, with <roa t
assistance, cannot be doubtful. , ~ ,7
The advantages of the enemy will nave out utue
value if we do not permit them to impair our reso
lution. Let as, then, appose constancy to adversi
ty, fortitude to suffering, and courage to danger,
with the firm assurance that He who gave freedom
to our fathers will bless the eJoria of their children
to'preserve it. a - t ' n “ n 7' l 1

TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 14. 1365.
Feom PgNSACCLA,— vVe learn, from passen
gers from Montgomery, that Gov. Watts re
ceived a dispatch yesterday morning, stating
that the enemy coming up from Pensacola was
striking directly for Whether
this intelligence be true or not. we believe that
this movement will be made. The enemv
knows very well that nearly our whole force
for the defense of Southern and Central Ala
bama is in Mobile, and hence that their ad
vance upon Montgomery will encounter com
paratively but little opposition. How they
will get out is a question of greater difficulty,
and one upon which we care not to enlighten
them. We trust that tbe patriotic call of Gov.
Watts will assemble a large force of militia to
defend the capital of the State. There is no
time to be lost, if Alabamians would act as
becomes a people who would save themselves
from the horrors of an armed occupation of
their territory.

Axothee Psacx Missiox Entxx?bi32.—A special'
dispatch to the New York Herald, from '>*V l.ng- |
ton the 22J, says:
Gen. Singleton and Judge Hughes. Lite of ue
Chart of Claims, left to-day for Richmond, via 3al-'
timere and Fortress Monroe. They have received
passes through our ines from the President. What
the objeet of their mission may be is aet positive'y
known: bnt leading Peace Democrats intimate that
it may be the inauguration of another effort to con
vince the rebel leaders that persistence in rebellioa
is useless, and that the constant succession of disas
ters which has fallen upon them during the last
three months proves that the end most be reached
soon, and that it is better to make the best terms pos
sible now than to maintain their present attitude
until their military power is entirely destroyed.
The Herald remarks editorially:
The object these ajentlejnen have in view has net
been made public, out tneir leaving for Richmond
at this time has necessarily given rise ta jurmnss
that their visit may be male with the design of en
deavoring to renew peace negotiations.
The cities ot’ New York. Phiiaielyi.a,
i Charleston and Savannah, during the progress
• of oar first revolution, were in the hanis of

Pacificator, were overran, and oar arm;- wa*
l ia a most lamentable condition, yet the in-ion*-
I itable courage and abiding faith ia the right
eousness of the cause which they had espoused
; could not be shaken, though disaster befell
their arms. After eight years of unexampled
privation aad suffering, Gwd blessed their ef
forts with success. In the language of ia
j illustrious revolutionary statesman, there ts no
way of judging of the future but by the pant;
1 and judging from the examples of the past,
what man. with an abiding Christian faith, eaa
doubt the success of our holy struggle. Tr
our cause has been recently darkened by a
passing cloud—a cloud incident to war and
thi3. therefore, is the reason that w» jhoa.i
prove worthy of our ancestors, and the glori
j ous inheritance which has been committed to
our keeping, by rallying as one man to the
rescue of cur country, and driving back the
tide of invasion that has now set la towards
i the heart of our country.

Raising Potatoes Uxdhs St*aw.— The r>notice
of yrowin# potatoes under straw, w 9 s n d is jiar'y
extending. It is now some four years since state
ments were first published of the practice and re
sults, and as we have read the records of those vio
adapted it, we do not recollect an instance of fai -
are, or an example of rot occurring in fields :o
growing. The potatoe, it is well known, succe-iis
best in cool, even temperatures, and as the straw on
the surface has a tendency to rreate more repriar
heat and moisture, than (mad exposed to the ray?
of the sun, givtnsf thereby a longer season of ma
turity, we presume the cause and results are p.a.a ?■
apparent. The process of such practice is, to » ant
in the usual season, covering the seed very lightly
with earth, and aiterwarL :overin* the who.e fie i
six or eight inches deep with straw. No labor >f
cultivation is practised, bnt in 'he fall the straw , 3
raked off, and the crop of potatoes found *upenor r o
those growing in the old mode of hilling.
On light sandy dry ground,lwe believe this tou-se
to be suceeffliul. if planted late in 'he fall. w» j 7
planted in January, and succeeded admirably,
the next and following years, we had no land rr 5 -
ciently drained, and therefore could not continue
our experiment.— Fanner and if nr,,-,
