A «irri»| Call.
The following proclamation, issued b.y
the Governor of Alabama, is worthy of
all consideration by the people of this and
of every other Confederate State. We
commend it to general persnal:—
Executive Department, 1
Montgomery, A'ta.. March 1st, 1362. )
The recent disasters which have befall
en our armies instead of depressing, should
nerve the unconquerable purpose* and
arouse the mighty power of these Confed
erate States. Seven millions of people
resolutely determined to.maintain their
right of self government and not bow their
necks to the oppressor's yoke can ne\er
be subjugated.—They will rise in theii
majesty .and strength, and with the bles
sing of God upon their righteous cause,
will drive back the invaders from their
land and country.
The reverses to our arms have imposed
new duties upon Alabama and her sisfer
Confederate States. The first is to bury
the love of gold, and quench out that sor
did spirit which values property above
liberty and to piously cultivate that mar
tyr spirit which will sacrifice every mate
rial interest rather than peril the priceless
inheritance of freedom. Cut oft, as their
supplies may be from the north-west the
cotton States should rely solely upon
their own granaries and products to fur
nish subsistence for the armies within their
in Extraordinary Disrrrpajify.

Griffin, 31 arch 17.—The following was
the result of tho election in this place to

than eighty thousand! Pillow says the
original attacking force of the enemy was
from twenty to thirty thousand strong, and
on tliG 13th the Confederates received
reliable informatien that the enemy were
reinforced by a large number of fresh
troops. On the evening of the 14ih they
also ascertained that he had received ad
ditional re-enforcementes, and on that
night he says prisoners stated that the
t ’onfederates were then surrounded by a
force composed of fifty-two regiments.—-
Gen. Pillow further states that the Confed
erate force at no time exceeded twelve
thousand effective men. Evidently, then,
our officers were most inconceivably de
luded in tho number of the enemy, and
the prisoners taken mis.-tated the facts, or
Genera! Grant, to save the credit of his
army, was guilty of a suppression of the
truth, mid names only the force lie started
with, omitting all mention of the heavy
reinforcements subsequently received.—
It is manifest that a victory' acheived at
Fort Donelson after so protracted and
desperate a struggle by a force of more
than six. to one, was little better than a
defeat in demonstrating the capability of
the Northern arms to over-run and subju
gate the Confederate States. The whole
truth, however, would have been hut a
very' sorry' tale, and Grant did not tell it.

of Floyd's Report alluded to:

intelligence of the death of Gen. Ben.
McCulloch, the following general order
w-as issued:
Fort Smith, March, 9, 1862.
The brave Gen. McCulloch is no longer
on earth. He fell whilst bravely fighting
at the head of his division, in a hardly
contested battle with the enemy near Cross
Hollows on the 7th inst. His remains
will be interred with military honors, on
Monday at 12 o’clock. The officers and
troops of the command will hold themselves
in readiness to perform this melancholy
duty. Officers of this command will re
port in person at the adjutant's office, at
nine o’clock. Sojourning officers of the ar
my are invited to participate. Officers
and soldiers of the battle of Oak Hills are
invited to participate, also the command of
Gen. Pearce. The invitation is likewise
extended to all citizens to unite in the pro
cession. All colors and flags will be at
half mast and draped in mourning. Offi
cers will wear the usual badge of mourn

We must remark the painful evidence
of the loss of our sense of dependence of

The Yankee Debt.—Our brethren of the

enormous debt oftlie Yankee Government,
as though they expected that Government

alone.—This is a onesided view of the
matter, and tends to do harm to onr own
cause. It is true tbe Yankee debt is enor
mous, and is increasing with a rapidity
without example in the history of nations.
But let ns now look to the other side; we
see, the debt, let us now see what the cred
it is. On the credit side we see the large
and best appointed army in the world.
This huge debt has created this huge army
and now by means of this army our enemy
expect to pay this debt. He expects by
the aid of this army to subjugate these
Confederates States, and upon their subju
gation to throw this debt from his shoul-

concerned, is a war for money. He is not

whom no odium should attach The cir
cumstances under which a man is drafted
should determine what is to he tlirought of
him. If there lias been nothing to prevent
his going into the army hut the fear of his
being killed, or a selfish desire of remain
ing at home, in ease and idleness, while
others arc fighting and bleeding and dyiug
to keep the Yankees off of his worthless
carcass, and away from his picayune soul,
and under ^liese circumstances he is draf
ted, then he ought te feel very mean, and
others ought to think very meanly of him,
and rejoice that he has got his deserts.
But if another man does not volunteer
because lie is the only one left of a family
to take care of the women and children,
and make bread, or because he lias a large
family on his hands dependent upon
his labor for a living, and under these cir

lighting for principle or honor; lie puts no
value on either; he does not understand
them and never fights for them. He
is fighting for money. He knfiws he will
be crushed by his vast debt unless our
wealth shall he poured into his coffers.
lt is idle, therefore, to speak of his im
mense debt, except for the purpose of
stimulating our own peopele to resist the
payment of it. He will fight as hard for
money as for honor. Indeed, he will fight
for nothing else, and the bigger the sum the
harder the fight.
When, therefore, the press announces
that the Yankee debt is, or soon will be,
a thousand million, let it be thundered
into the ears of our people that lie will
fight to the death to make us pay it, and
that we self reliant, must fight to tlie death
for life, liberty, property and honor.— New

Spirit of Ihe !Na«hrillfl I.ndiea.
So long as the ladies of Nashville ex
hibit the spirit indicated by the two fol
lowing incidents which were procured from
an entirely reliable source, we can never
despair:
When Gen. McCook, of the Lincoln ar

card with the request that he might renew
his former acquaintance with Miss S Mc-
Nairy. The following was tho patriotic
reply of the noble and accomplished
lady, written upon the hack of the
card!
“SlR: 1 do not desire to renew any
acquaintance with the invaders of my

Two other Hessians officers obtruded
their presence into the parlor of Dr. Mar
tin, and sent up their cards to his daugh
ter, Miss Bettle Martin, an elegant and
accomplished young lady, requesting also
the renewal of an old acquaintanceship.
Repairing to the parlor, with a look of
ineffable scoru and contempt, she dashed
the cards into their faces, and said;

We learn from McDonald that the Go
vernor arranged the regiments into six, of
a thousand men each, and a battalion.—
An election was ordered for one o’clock,
on Wednesday, the 19tli inst. The fol
lowing is the result as partially reported to
us. The numbers by which the different
regiments were designated, we have not re
ceived:

Corn and our Country.—We have heard
it stated that there is one planter in a cer
tain county in this State who is making
arrangements to plant every acre in cot
ton. If there is such a man in this State
we hope the people will try him, and
hang him as high as Haman for treason.
Talk about Lincolnites among us ! The
man who can deliberately resolve to do
such a thing is meaner than the meanest
Yankee that ever was horn. Such a man
would dig up the bones of his mother and

Alabama.
Governor Shorter lias sent agents over the State
to collect ail the arms he can. He has issued a
proclamation, in which he says :
Men, brave and gallant men, responding to the
:all of their bleeding country, are rushing by
thousands to the field. Their cry is for arms with
which to engage tho foe. People of Alabama !
wi 1 you not commit your arms into their bands ?
People of Alabama! will you not send tbe shot
guns and rifles rusting in your bouses, that I may
place them in the bauds of your own sons to de
fend your altars and your homes ’ Agents are ap
pointed all over the State to collect arms. If they
do not find you. I beg you to find them. Let
every Sheriff and Judge of Probate, and all State
officers, civil and military, receive ami forward
arms.
Let every man do something towards arming
our troops if be cannot go to the battle field.
Turn your shops into laboratories for the manufac
ture of arms and munitions of war. Send me
thousands of shot guns and rifles, bowie knives
and pik- s. Send provender, and lead, and ball.
lie also exhorts the people and directs the mili
tary officers to burn every lock ot cottou that is
likely to foil into tbe hands of the enemy, and
urges the people to .plant no more cotton crops
while the war lasts
“ Plant not then 0110 seed of cotton beyond your
home wants, but put down your lands in grains
and every other kind and description of farm pro
duct, and raise every kind of live stock, which
may contribute to the support of your own families
and the needy families of your brave defenders,
and which will be w nttd also for tho subsistence
of the grand armies which shall march to achieve
your independence.’’

The New Confederate Gunboat.--A Mo
bile correspondent of the Charleston Mer
cury says:
The two new gunboats, Morgan and
Gaines, made their trial trip last Saturday.
They are a complete success. Both are
beautifully modelled, strongly built, and
commanded by able and brave hearted
men. They each mount 10 guns; their
size we leave the Yankees at Ship Island
to judge of. In onr present struggle for
independence no State has responded more
nobly to the call than Alabama. Freely
has she given, both from her population
and her treasury. Hundreds of troops
are leaving the State every day to join
Beauregard, and for other points where
they are needed, to aid in the great cause.
Thousands of dollars have been contribu
ted, both by public and private individu
als, and thousands more are ready when
called for. The women though unable to
endure the hardships of the battlefield,
are doing a noble work at home. The
women of Mobile have started a fund for
building more gunboats for our harbor, and
success is crowning their efforts.

We expect blows from the enemy to

and also to reach the Memphis and

Herculean efforts are now being put forth to

President Br.vis in The Field.
The announcement that President Davis
is about to take the field in person has
been everywhere bailed with unfeigned
satisfaction. The people see in this step
That high souled patriotism which they at
tributed to him when they unanimously
invested him with the Chief Magistracy,
and thus their sympathies are universally
enlisted. They will rally to his side, old
and young, and heat back the insolent foe
who now poluto the South. No personal
sacrifice is deemed too great by President
Davis; and, setting aside precedent, lie
steps from his high sphere, surrounded by
all the comforts which can sweeten life, to
encounter the dangers and vicissitudes of
the soldier.
The noble heart of Davis bleeds for the
reverses sustained by our armies. Unlike
the stolid and besotted wretch whose
wickedness has entailed so much disaster
and bloodshed upon two countries, he is
keenly alive, to-thc duty which the hour
of peril entails upon him. The cause of
Southern independence does not find him
blinking from the post of danger, but
with all that chivalry for which in times
past lie was distinguished, he flings aside
the scroll and grasps the sabre. With his
own right hand he will advance the stand
ard that points to victory.
Who will halt now? Who can play the
laggard? Wherever the blood of the
patriot courses through honest veins, there
will be a quick response. Thousands will
rush eagerly to serve tinder his banner,
and inarch with their hero President to
the sure triumph which awaits him. The
lashing Murat never led prouder charges
than Jeff Davis; and it may be safely
anticipated that we shall have the most
brilliant campaign that ever adorned our
annals. There will he no more sluggish
movements—no more perishing in camps,
with the spade and mattock for emblems;
but the neigh oftlie fiery charger will be
beard as lie is urged to the “deadly breach,
and the sun will be obscured by tho dim
cloud of the artillery.”
Quick work will lc the watchword.—
On! on!—ever on! Tbe obdurate and
heartless enemy will no more be permitted
to make bis silent and cautious approach
es—no more plant his hattries at will, and
build up his fortifications, uninterrupted,
until fully prepared, lie descends like an
avalanche. The eagle glance of Davis
will scan from afar his designs, and with
those rapid combinations which denote
a true General, he will frustrate them.
This determination of the President
must more than ever endear him to the
popular heart. He asks no more from his
countryman than he is ready to perform
himself. Be ready to go with him. To
desert him now, would be to desert the
rights of man—to go down to a bed of
degradation from which there can be no
resurrection. Be the battle cry, “Davis
and Victory!”-—Memphis Avalanche.
