Address of the President tjthc Soldiers
of thc Confederate Stntes.
After more than two ye?.rx- of a v/arf re
scared)' -q inllcd in - ho numb-T, magnitude,
na? Teaiful carnage of ita butties ; a, wir?ar-e
in which your courage and f r:itude Lave il
lustrated your country and a'tracted no' only
gratitude at Loni-', but a iinir.?tion abroad,
yjur enemies continuo a slrogid'j in which
our final triumph mu?t bA in.vitab?o. Un
? duly e'aieJ with their rec"*nt ouccf-sccs, they
imagine that temporary . reverse can queir
. your spirit or ehnke your determination, and
they are now gathering heavy massed Cir a
general in vus?-KI in th? vain hope that by a
flcipprfctd ott'ort success may at length bc
reached.
You know too well, mr countrymen, wbn?
they tn?an by success. Their malignant rage
ajm.9 ** nothing loss th:Oi the extermination
of youteelves, your wives and children. Tiiey
?eek to destroy what they canuot plunder.
They propose as the spoils of victory that
': your homos shall be partitioned among th-!
' wretches who-eatrocious cruelties have'slurop
ed infamy un-tficir Government. They de
sign to incit? sofvile insurrection and li? at
tiic firus ot fnoeudiai ism whenever tL-.-y can
reach your LonKs, and they debauch tie in
ferior race, hitherto docile ?Hid contented, *>y
promising indulgence of tho vilest passions ns
the-price'of treachery. Conscious of their
inab:'i;j to prevail by leg't'i uate.-wsrfare, not
. daring, to nulty p.'ace lest they shculd . I*;
hurled from their seats of power, the men
'wh'"> now rub in Washington refuse even to
confer on the subject of puning an end lo
outrages which disgrace our age. or to listen
to a suggestion for conducting the war acce
ding to the usages of civilization.
Fellow citizens, no alternative is left you
{jPtt- Victory,, or sui jug\tioii, alaYt-ry find the
niter nilli qf yourselves, vur tarni Ho* a id
your country. The victory is within jour
reach. You need but ?tretch forth your
lintis to grasp it. For this and a l that is
necessary is that those who are called lo the
field by every motive that can move tho hu
man heart, should promptly repair to the p09t
of duty, should stand by 'their comrades n iv"
. ja front ol thc foe, and thus so strengthen the
arinics ol' the Confederacy as to ensure suc
cess. The'roon uowrabsejtit from their post?
would, if pre?tet in the fund, suffice to create
numerical quality b. tv.een our forje and
that of the invaders-and when, with any ap
proach to such equality, have we failed to be
victo!ious ? I believe that but few of those
' ftbj&nt are actuated by unwillingness lo set re
their country ; bert that many have found it
difficult to resist the temptation of a visit to
their homes and the loved onps from wtiom
tk?*y have been so lo:ig separated ; that others
have heft-for temporary attention io their
Affairs with tlie intention of returning, and
then have shrunk frcm the . eousr-quenees of
their Twlation of ditty 5 thai others again have
left their posts from tu-?re restlessness and de
sire oi*-chaiige, each quieiir-g lu.: upbraiding*
?of his conscience, by persuading bi-nself that
hts individual services could have hu i?fliienco
On ti?l? general result.
These and oilier causes (although far less
disgraceful than thc desire to avo?J danger,
or to escape from the sacrifices required by
patriotism,) are, nevertheless, grievous faults,
und place the cause of our beloved country,
and of everything vrn hold dear, ia imminent
peril. I repeat that the mea who now owe
fluty tP their ?oupttjlL^jj?Lliavo been called
Out a id ?ave not yet rcpor'ed for cinty, t r
who have absented themselves frinu their
pos*s, are sufficient in number to secure us
victory in t l e strugglo now impending.
J -all on you then, my countrymen, to has
ten to -our camps, in obedience to the dic
tates of honor and td duly, and summon those
who have'absented themselves without leave,
0Y who have remained absent beyond the pe
ri d allowed by their furloughs, to repair wit fa
out delay to their respective command?, and
1 do hereby declare that 1 grant a general
' pardon and amnesty to all othceri and men
within the Coufede:a^y, now absent without
leave, who shall, with the least possible delay
return to their proper posl3 of duty, but no'
excuso w]U be received for any delny beyond
twenty days after the first publication of this
procldTuation in the State; in which the ab
sented may be at the date rd the publication.
This amnesty and pardon shall cxteud to ail
who have bega acoused, or who have been
convicted and aro undergoing sentence for
absence witibui leave, cr desertion, oxcepting
only those who have baan twice convicted of j
deserti m.
Finally, I conjure tny countrywomen-the
wivos, mothers, sisters and daughters of the
Confederacy-to use their all powerful influ
ence in aid of this call, to add one crowning
sacrifice to those which their patriotism has
a J freely and constantlyoffered on theil coun
try's altar, and to tako care that none who
owe service in the field shaH he sheltered at
home from the disgrace of having deserted
their duty to their families, to- their couutry
j.nd to their God.

Wo feel.confident that tho l?te*>??clsion of the
British Cs 111 tn of A>'mir-.!tv in ihe case of the
Alexandre, is tho mott important event that bas
.occurred ?n either. -sHo..??f the_?t?*U.Q.?jnj(^_J}*e:
commencement of the- present war; and we shall
not be singular in this opinion six months hence.
Our readers will remember thneTMr. Anxns, ?. 8.
Minister at :.he .Court of St. James, lodged infor
mation with tho legal authorities in England some
months ago, that a certain ship named tho Alex
andra, then being built in an English ship yard,
was to ho sold tu the Confederate States.
Legal proceedings wero thereupon comnruneed
against the buijdejrs of said ship; aud upon trial
of the case, .he Court of Admiralty decided that
ship builden in England have a ri?ht to build
.and soil ships of any description ?to any one who
'wiFhcs to buy.
This decision we regard as warth more to 'us
than a recognition of our independence hy Great
Britain. '
Wc have now the meant in our hands, by the
providence of God, of almost utterly annihilating'
the mercantile navy of the United States; and If
it is not dono in twelve months, lt will be owing
to tho tnibeci'ity of our Guitrnment. Iadaed,
the contract for the construction ofthose ofciur
voirait already under way, ends with this pr?tent
month. W? may soon ezpeet to hear of a Navy
afloat; and rome of the iron-mailed ships now
being built for us in English ship yardi, will bo
a mutch for a whole fleet of Yankee wooden walla.
Dut we have no fears for a Government which baa
been marked by singular ability ; hence we believe
that Yankee ships will soon bogie to rot in their
docks, and that Yankee cupidity will soon begin
to clamer foi peace.
According to thia deculon of the Conrt of"Ad
miraliy, the Confed?rate Government has a right
to purchase from Engliah ship-builders such ships
as it needs-without restriction ?ts lo number er
quality*-the only restriction being that they must
nut put their armaments on board actually in an
English port. This deefsion put? the English
ship-yards at the service of onr Qovernmant, and
opens for'us tho English ports.
What more do we want to scourge a base rxce
a race of two ideas, 'tho loaves . and the fishes'
into their proper seiuos?. Ono thing more, il ir
true, is wanting tu build sbjps-namely, th? cash.
Herc ?gain the hand of Providence baa provided
the cruise of oil. To build and equip these very
ships for the Confederacy, English Capitalists
loaned our Uotornment last winier fifteen millien
dollars, and three times tho amount of stock was
subscribed.
If our Government uas tho energy, and will put
that energy.earnestly to work, we may have afloat
by January aFleet which witlswcop every Yaukee
merchant ship from the ocean. There can be no
exaggeration ia this statement. There are now
in the Confederacy four millions of bale? of cot
ton; this, at tho present prices, would be worth
more than four hundred millions of dollars-and
but a fourth of thatamount, with the loan already |
effected, will answer all domands.
Tho people expect our Rulers to improve this
opportunity; delay%nd negligen?e in this matter
will bo highly criminal. We have a very confi
dent belief, ono founded 'upon the mostwobviona
principles, that if our Guverument dues its duty
In thia matter, we shall have peace within six
months from tho time our navy sails from British
ports.Wo see in this facf everything to encourage
ns, aud we honusJy halievo that we are stronger
to day than we havo been at any period during
his war.

with the promise ot protection in the event of
subjugation, and that their ill-gotten gains will
be preserved to them upon taking the oath of

Cap*. Ooxe, one of Morgan's Commissaries,
in answer to the question, why Morgan and,
his wholejbrce did not avoid the enemy by
crossing at some unguarded point on tia- riv
??r, said there was no such place ; that there
was a heavy river force, consisting of gunboats
and transports of infantry, wno kept up
prompt and intelligent communications by
meahs.of couriers with tue cavalry force press
ing ou their rear, which it was impossible to
get.ah'ead of.,

pickets in j he carly part qi*.the day j The
pick*! force was composed cf the 12tn Virgi

reaisted the enemy until Hampton's '--.valry
came up, -jben the bartle was joined between
uur cavalry aud tliat of the enemy. Daring
souie portions cf the engagement the figbt

fifteen, killedand'from sixty to seventy wound

It is not improbable that this fight is tne im

mitch larger scale.
