A RESOLUTION declaring the senseof Con
gress iu regard to uniting with the United
States.
Whereas, the United States are waging war
against the Confederate States, with the avowed
purpose of compelling the latter to reunite with
them under the same Constitution and Govern
ment: and whereas the waging of war with such
an object is in direct opposition to the sound
republican maxim, that “all government rests up
on the consent of the governed,” and can only
tend to consolidation in the General Government,
and the consquent destruction of the rights of the
States. And whereas, this lesult being attained
the two sections can only exist together in rela
tion of the oppressor and the oppressed, bee use
oftbe great preponderance of power in the Nor
thern section, coupled with dissimilarity of inter
est: And whereas, we. the representatives of the
people oftbe Confederate Slates, in Congress as
sembled, may be presumed to know the sentiments
of said people, havingjust been elected by them.
Therefore.
Be it resolved by the Congress of the Confeder
ate ftates of America, ~
solemnly declare aud
it is ihe unalterable
of ttie Confederate
Almighty God, to
most protracted war, but that they w ill never on
any terms, politically affiliate with a people who

Ocn’l Brnnregard Address to the Army*
Richmond Va, May 5.—The following
address of Gen. Beauregard to bis army,
on the 2d inst, was received here to-day.—
The dispatch is dated at Corinth, May,
2d. : .
Soldiers of Shiloh and Elkhom:
We are about to meet, once more, in
the shock of battle, the invaders of our
soil, the despoilers- of our homes, the dis
turbers of our family ties, face to face, and
hand to band. We are to decide whether we
are to be freeman, or the slaves of those
who are free only in name, and who.
but yesterday, were vanquished, al
though in largely superior numbers, in
their own encampments, on tlie ever
memorable field of Shiloh. Let the im
pending battle decide our fate, and add
one more illustrious page to the history of
our revolution—one to which our children
will point with noble pride, saying our
fathers were at the battle of Corinth.
I congratulate you on your timely junct
ion. With your mingled banners, for the
first time during this war, we shall meet
our foe in the strength that should give us
the victory.
Soldiers! Can the result be doubtful?—
Shall we not drive back into Tennessee
the presumptuous mercenaries collected
for our subjugation? One more manly
effort, and, trusting iu God and the justice
of our cause, we shall recover more than
we have lately lost, i.et the sound of our
victorious guns be re-echoed by those of
the army of Virginia, on the historic battle
field of Yorktown.

CScn. Lorrll’D An Secede nt».
The Enquirer, of yesterday, says that
Gen. Mansfield Lovell is the son of a for
mer Surgeon General oftbe United States
Army. His mother belonged to the Ber
rien family of Georgia. The subject of
this brief memoir was born, probably at
Washington, but if at the North, it was
during the temporary residence of his
parents at some military post. By a sad
fatality, Doctor and Mrs. Lovell died in
Washington within a few days of each
other, about a quarter of a century ago.—
The orphan sons (four in number) were
thus thrown, so to speak, upon the world,
but, by the aid of relatives, their education
was cared for, and-they all have attained
honorable positions in life. General Lov
ell graduated well at West Point, and dis
tinguished himself greatly in the Mexican
war. Resigning from the army some
years ago, he engaged in commercial
pursuits in New York, and was subsequent
ly appointed Deputy Street Commission
er by G. W. Smith, (now a Major General
in the Confederate army,) which position
he held until shortly before casting his for
tunes with the Confederate States. Two
of General Lovell’s brothers are married to
daughters of the late General Quitman, of
Mississppi, and were both performing mili
tary duty at New Orleans. The remaining
brother is a lawyer at Savannah, Georgia.

advancing upon Chattanooga, and were
yesterday not more than from twenty-five
to thirty miles from that point. It is said
however, that they were in small force,
and it may b that this small force is only
the advance of a larger one moving slowly
towards that city. It would be impru
dent in us to say more in regard to the
*"situation” of Chattanooga than the enenu/
as well as the Confederate Authorities
must and, we are certain, do know. It is
| now a more, import poiut to the enemy
than even Charleston or Savannah; and
it ought to be defended at every sacrifice.
Its posession by the enemy would give
them command of vitally important rail
road communications; leave Georgia open
to invasion on the one hand, and the route
to Knoxville, in East Tennessee, open on
the other. That the enemy have, and are
making this movement, with a view to
both these objects, we have no doubt. We
trust, however, that they will be disap
pointed. Chattanooga will be defended,
and we hope successfully. Nature has so
ordained that it must he approached over
mountains, where every advantage will be
on our side. W ith good officers and gal
lant soldiers, one regiment, having choice
of position, will he equal to four of the
enemy.
But even upon this, those who are in
command at that point should not rely.
Advised as they, and the authorities at
Richmond, are of the importance of hold
ing Chattanooga, we have reason to be
lieve that a force will be there to meet
the enemy equal to any emergency, and
strong enough to battle with upon the
open plain. Failure in having such a force
would now, from what we know, be crim
inal' neglect on the part of the Confederate
authorities. Prudential reasons restrain
us, or we could say much that would in
terest our readers in re'gard to the enemy’s
advance upon Chattanooga, and the de
fence thereof. Probably the day is not
distant when we may feel at liberty to
write without restraint.—In the meantime
we must all patiently wait the enemy’s
approach upon that important point—Af
ter all, it may be only a feint, and when
we take consideration the fact, that the
enemy’s advance upon, and front Bridge
port, was simultaneous with the attack at
Cumberland Gap, there is a probability
that such is really the case. But even if it
should be a feint of the enemy, Chattanooga
is still in danger, and requires now a large
and effective force to defend it from the
enemy, and erelong, we hope, to advance
upon him even to Naslivile. But we for
bear, or we might say too much.

C!ncrillns and Sharp Nboslrr*.
Hunter and Halleck in Missouri and the Feder
al commanders in other States have issued mani
festoes and proclamations against guerillas, and
threaten to hang them as soon as caught. The
great danger to an invading army, when it is ad
vancing into a hostile country, is in having its
trains cut off, its rear blocked and avenues of re
treat closed An enemy, with 50.( 00 men, with
guerillas about them, must leave a detachment of
troops at every mile or half mile of the line over
which he marches and by which lie expects to re
ceive supplies, so that by the time he has marched
a huudred miles he has left half his army behind
him. It is then that small parties of mounted
men, dashing ot some exposed point on the lines,
may destroy a train, capture the outposts and do
infinite mischief. The Federal commanders
dread this, above all things, and hence their at
tempts to frighten brave men from attacking them
when and where they are most vulnerable. Here
in lies the weakness cf an invading army, and
our great strength, if we will but use it.
The operations ot Jeff. Thompson and McBride
is Missouri, of Morgan in Tennessee, and other
Marions and Sumters in other Stales, have dona
more to cripple the enemy and tire him of this
war than did his defeat at Manassas. One hun
dred mounted rangers can keep a line of twenty-
five miles in length in constant dread, and every
day or two can strike an effective blow.
We have driven the enemy from Arkansas, but
should he again enter the State, a small torce be
hind him can cut off his communication arid ren
der an invading army an easy prize to the patriots
in front.
The Federals have companies of sharpshooters,
and when McCulloch, McIntosh and Slack were
killed, it was found that each met his death from
a rifle ball. The two former were shot near the
heart; the latter in the right side. The smoke
from the rifles with which they were shot was seen
coming from behind the trees where the sharp
shooters were hiddeu. The marksmen are West
ern men, picked from the different regiments and
instructed by select officers. We have the mate
rial for a regiment of shaipshooters, second to
none in the world ; men who. with a common rifle,
can knock a squirrel from the top of the tallest
tiee, or shoot a deer off hand at a distance of a
hundred yards. Who will get np a company of
sharpshooters? They should be active, wiry, cool
men, who would be permitted to take sheltered
positions and tire whenever they could draw a
bead on an officer. We must hare sharpshooters
and tints fight the devil with fire.

The Deffncc of Forts.
The news from the Charleston Courier,
about the fall of Pulaski only confirms us
in our first opinion. Our first feeling on
hearing of the fall of that work, was one
of blank astonishment, our first opinion
was that all could not he right. The big
stories of breeches made in less than no
time—of balls fired nearly a mile going
clean through twelve foot walls as though
they were sheets of paper, and all and sun
dry the other statements no doubt honesty
made by the Savannah papers, sounded
strangely to plain sort of people like our
selves.
We happened to recollect that our bat
teries on Morris’ Island were considerably
nearer to Fort Sumter than any land bat
teries that the enemy could possibly plant
against Pulaski, and we know that Sum
ter was not breeched at all by our fire. We
also happened to have some recollection of
the Grimerian war.and oftlie fact that bat
teries at a thousand yards, were regarded as
almost useless, and that finally the allies
worked their approaches so actively, that
their last parallel was so near to the Rus

We find tlte following iu the State Gazette pub
lished at Austin Texas, the 12th April:
The remains of Gen. Ben McCulloch, the hero
of Oak Hills, the pride and boast of the army if
the west, were on Thursday, w ith all the usual
pomp aud ceremony attending such occasions, laid
by the side of Burleson, Memphill and McLeod.

irom 4 P. M. on Wednesday until 2 P. M. on
Thursday last. At 11 o’clock after prayer from

Henry Brown who acted as aid to Gen. McCul

crowded the large Representatives Hall with a.i
address narrating the thrilling incidents of the
batttle-field, and eloquently portrayed the miiitsry
accomplishments, patriotism, heroism and no
ble single heartedness of our gallaut Ranger Gen
eral.
Gen. Henry McCulloch being present, remarked
in a voice tremulous with emotion, whose accents
reached the hearts and filled the eyes of all pres
ent, that his brother had, in his will commended
his soul to bis God, aud bequeathed bis body to hia
State, and that he now, as the executor of that will
gave the body to the Executive, and with it his
own life. Gov. Lubbock, in bis own inimitable
and happy way, responded to the remarks ot Gen.
H. McCulloch. It is impossible for us now to
give a synopsis of what he said.—He stiired the
hearts of the audience to their profoundest depths
and awakened or aroused a feeling of intense pa
triotic enthusiasm we have never seen excelled;
which tilled the lofty chamber with the deafening
shouts of the thousands assembled, sufficient if
ought on earth were so, to quicken again to life
the slumbering hero, who wrapped in the banner
of his coun'ry, lay in state in their midst.
The concourse that attended the body to
the grave was the largest ever assembled in
the State, the procession more than a mile long.
