An old man over sixty years of age lias
a right and therefore asks the privilege, oi
a few words of aduiontion to his country
men. It is no evidence of wisdom or
bravery to disregard threatening danger.
Solomon says and history proves, “A
wise man foreseeth the evil and liideth
himself, but fools pass on and are pun-
shed.” What is the situation of the
South today? With a war on her hands ot
more gigantic proportion than the world
ever heretofore witnessed—with a foe
moie relentness than the savage of the
wilderness or the wild beast of the des
ert—with resources unlimited, and an ar
my of seven hundred thousand men and
capable of doubling it in three mohths, and
uncontrolled command of the sea! While
the South, with an army of half the size
and no navy, faces this giant with an un
blenching front! ‘Tis bravely doue. Gen
erous hearts throughout the wolrd would
shriek aud mourn to see her perish. Hut
who in the South would not prefer to per
ish than to live and have his children to
live and crouch beneath the vulgar despot’t
scorn and stripes, as subjugated vas
sals? Scall she do either-—shall she per
ish or submit? All but tories shout no!
never!—YVc-11 my friends, let us see it
there is not danger ahead—let us not, like
the ostrich hide our heads in the sand, and
fancy danger will not overtake us because
we cannot see it. Let us retrace the way
we have come for the last eight months,
and look down the vista of the future.
Let us recall our blunders and successes,
that they may serve as mementoes for the
time to come. The first great blunder
was in putting any faith at the begining in
the vulgar tyrants at Washington. They
meant nothing but bloody war while pre
tending peace, and only lied to gain time
prevent our getting read) while the ports
were open.
The next great blunder was that we
neglected to seize Arlington Heigths aud
Alexandria and hold them at every baz-
ard, and destroy the bridges over the Poto
mac.
The next blunder was in not throwing
an army into Maryland after the battle of
Bull ltun, for to my certain knowledge
they had not arms for half their infantry
and were not half as well supplied with
heavy ordnance as we were-
The next fatal blunder was in not build
ing and equipping light yet strong gun
boats for all our navigable rivers and
ocean inlets. If we were unable to cope
with them on the ocean it is no reason
why we should permit them to dominate
in our own waters.
The next blunder was in building forts
any where within the reach of the enemy’s
shells, not thorougherly bomb proof. This
blunder has proved doubly crimnal inas
much as it lias caused the loss of a vast
amount of property and many brave
men.
The next fatal blunder, amounting to
gross delusion, is in under-rating the prow
ess of our enemy- This delusion must
cease or we are ruined. History ought to
correct it. With all intelligent men Crom
well's soldiers in England, the Indian war
and the French war of 17J5, and the
Revolution of 1776, and the war of 1S12,
in America, are some proof that the Puri
tan stock are not cowards.
At the begining of this war there was
more than half of the Northern people op
posed to it. They all felt exceedingly
hurt at the degradation of their flag at
Fort Sumter, but they laid the chief
blame on South Carolina, and nearly all
the 75,000 who volunteered at the first
call of Lincoln, rallied to the defence of
their Capital with no intention to invade
the South, and there was a feeling univer
sal iu the army opposed to aggressive war,
at to tlie battle of Bull Run—lienee mu-
tins showed itself in nearly every regiment.
It has yet to be proved which side has
been most injured by that battle, so con
fessed gloriously to the Southern army. It
has engendered a fatally erroneous estimate
of the power of our enemy on our side
and at the same time a fixed feeling in the
Northern neart that the great disgrace to
their arms must be wiped out at whatev
er cost of life or treasure. Added to that
the whole Northern mind has become
thoroughly embittered against the South,
amounting to universal hatred and malice
from reading the republished defamatory
articles from the. Southern press, denoun
cing them as a nation of unprincipled pal-
troonsand cowards.
So much for the first—now what of the
future? Let us look around and what do
we see. This thoroughly hostile people
of 20,000,000, united as one man for our
subjugation or utter extermination, with
a capacity to arm their whole male popu
lation in the best manner known to military
science, with their armies occupying and
trenched upon three sides of our territory
with every prospect of closing up the
fourth and penetracting in dead of winter
with impunity three hundred miles iuto
the interior of Tennessee, plundering the
coasts of Mississippi and Alabama five
hundred miles from the sea, and outflan
king all our armies, with imminent dan
ger that Burnside from Albemarle Sound
and Thomas, in East Tennessee, will short
ly close up all Rail Road communication
with our armies in Virginia.—This being
so are the people to be told we know’ noth
ing about military affairs, and therefore
w’e must keep silonce? If the wolfis seen
in the sheepfold must the farmer hold his
peace because he never served as a shep
herd, and must not cry wolf, lest the wolf
hear him? I admit the enemy cannot
march armies through the interior until
Spring, but after that with our present
force what is to stop them? They cin
turn all our fortifications and outflank all
our armies. Are we not justified, then, in
saying we are in great danger? In what
does it consist? Not so much in the power
of the enemy as in the apathy and lack
of patriotism in the Southern people.
What patriot has not been shocked and
alarmed when surveying the country and
seeing money making and speculation
wholly absorbing the popular mind while
Hannibal’s C’arthagenians are thundering
at the gates of Rome! Know you not,
sirs, of how little worth in a few short
months will be your speculations, your
stocks, j’our slaves your plantations, your
homes and your firesides, if the ruthless
invader is not speedly driven back? Can
it be done?—No! a thousand times, no!
as you are now going on, even if the Yan
kees were cowards. What we have wit
nessed in this city this winter? After sen
ding oil the Jackson Artillery with horses
to which the buzzards set up a claim, and
which ialstatf would have ejected from
his regiment, we have, lately seen a very
capable officer trying for weeks to make
up an Artillery company and calling iu
vain for horses to fill up his ranks, while
all that time were daily seen upon our,
streets good horses enough for two regi
ments! Is this patriotism, or are you sa
ving your horses for the enemy/
We shall need a million of men in the
spring Turn out or perish, aud pray God
your names will with you that history may
not perpetuate the damning disgrace that
teu millions of freemen, for the love of
money, let themselves be subjugated by
twenty millions whom they pronounced
cowards.
God helps those who help themselves,
aud nobody else. Stop calling upon Her
cules till you put your own shoulders to
the wheel!—What have you been about
all the Summer and Fall? O’making cot
ton, hey, when your negroes ought to have
been throwing up bomb proof fortifications
at every exposed point, and ihe black
smiths everywhere making Pikes and
Bowie Knives, and all the overseers should
have been in the army, and the planters
who are unable to go should act as their
own overseers, or are you too proud or
lazy to work or help fight the battles wa
ged especially for your protection?
If tlie country will promptly wake up
to the dangers that surroundes us and are
determined to drive the invader from the
country or die, he will soon lea%e us and
sue for peace. The whole world could not
subdue us if we unitedly resolved to con—
quor or die. The unarmed peasantry of
France routed the trained veterans of the
Line, with farming and culinary utensils.
The motto of our soldiers—the motto of
every man fighting for his home, his wife
and children, and theirs and his liberty,
should be that of the Old French Guard
—“The Guard dies—it never surrender!”
If you ate to be cotjquered, subjugated, I
will not call up before you the sickening
heart-rendering scenes in store for you
from a relentless foe and a soldiery which
their own officers already confess are
wholly beyond their controll in the inva
ded country. The scenes in St. Domingo
were but pastimes in comparison. There
the victims had death fora refuge. You-
will have to live to witness tlie hell around
you. You will be needed to pay the ex
pense of this war. Depend upou it if one
thing is firmly fixed in the Northern mind
deeper than another, it is that if they sub
jugate us we shall pay every dollar
of the cost of this rebellion, as they call
it.
Tell me not you have no arms. Go to
making them. If you are brace the Pike
and Bowie Knife are the very best you
could have—with them, Csesar conquered
the world and Cromwell subdued Great
Brittain and made all Europe tremble.
At the decisive moment when the tide of
battle was to be turned his great voice was
ever heard shouting “Bring them to pnsh
of pike!” So we say bring them to tho
push of pike, and you make every battle
field a Bull Run.

The following stirring address has just
been issued by General Van Dorn .•
To Ibc Young .Wen of Arkanaas, Texas an J
North lioaiainaa.
Headquarters Tran-Mississippi
District,'
Pocahontas,
The question is before us ; shall we or
ganize, arm and march to join the army of
Missouri, and battle for independence on
her soil, where she invites, nay, implores
us, to come; or shall we wait to see that
gallant and struggling State down-trodden
in the dust, manacled and lost—her broad
fields and rich granaries opened to supply
the tyrant’s hordes as they march trium
phantly and unopposed to invade our own
homes ? Shall we strike down the enemy
whose grip is upon our brothers throat,
and who only waits to see his last gasp
to attack us; or shall we stand by and see
our brothers perish and meekly await a
similar doom ? The case is before us for
our own decision, and it is no dream of im
agination, but a stern reality, and we
must decide it. We have voted to be
free. Wcmust now fight to be free, or
present to the world the humiliating specta
cle of a nation of braggarts, more con
temptible than the tyrants who seek to
enslave us.
The flag of our country is waving on
the Southern borders of Missouri—placed
there by my bauds under authority from
our Chief Magistrate. It represents all
that is dear to us in life. Shall it wave
there in melancholy loneliness as a fall leaf
in our premeval forests or shall its beau
tiful field and Iright stars flaunt iu the
breeze, over the proud batallions of Arkan
sas, of Texas, and of Louisiana as they are
marshalling to do battle with Missouri
for victory, for honor, and for independ
ence ?
/.wake ! young men of Arkansas, and
arm! Beautiful maidens of Louisiana
smile not upon the craven youth who may
linger by your hearth when the rude blast
of war is sounding in your ear ! Texas
chivalry, to arms! Hardships and hun
ger, disease and death, are preferable to
slavery subjection, and a nation with a
bright page in history and a glorious epi
taph is better than a vassaled land with
honor lost and a people sunk in infamy.

Home-Made Gloves.—We were shown
yesterday a pair of handsome net Cotton
Gloves, the handwork of a young lady of
Marietta. They are much superior to the
Cotton Gloves of the same kind usually
found in our stores, but which are now
very scarce. It is gratifying to see the
domestic industry employed in the pro
duction of anything that contributes to our
independence of foreign supply.
