Address of Generals Beauregard and
Johnston to the Soldiers.
The New Orleans Picayune has received the
. following despatch from Virginia:
Culpepper, August 3.—I have great pleas
ure in transmitting, for the readers of the Pic
ayune, the following address of Generals John
ston and Beauregard, after the battle of Ma
nassas, to the soldiers:
Head quartern of the army of potomac. )
Manassas Junction, July 23,1761. S
Soldiers of the Confederate States:
One week ago, a countless host of men, or
ganized into an army, with all the appoint
ments which modern art and practical skill
could devise, invaded the soil of Virginia
Their people sounded their approach with
triumphant displays of anticipated victory.—
Their ministers, senators and women came to
witness the immolation of this army and the
subjugation of our people, and to celebrate
these with wild revelry.
It is with the profoundest emotions of grat
itude to an overwhelming God, whose hand is
manifest in protecting our homes and your
liberties that we, your generals commanding,
are enabled, in the name of our whole coun
try, to thank you for that patriotic courage,
that heroic gallantry, that devoted daring, ex
hibited by you in the actions of the 18th and
21st of this month, by which the host of the
enemy was scattered, arid a signal and glori
ous victory was achieved.
The two affairs of the 18th and 21st were
but the sustained and continued efforts of your
patriotism against the constantly recurring
colors of an enemy fully treble our numbers,
and this effort was crowned, on the evening
of the 21st, with a victory so complete that,
the invaders were driven from the field and
made to fly in disorderly rout back to their
entrenchments, a distance of over thirty miles.
They left upon the field nearly every piece of
their artillery, a large portion of their arms,
equipments, baggage, stores, etc. etc., and al
most every one of their wounded and dead,
At 1 .. 1 k lh n r, i, a l ,
many thousands, and thus the northern hosts
were driven by you from Virginia.
Soldiers! we congratulate you on an event
which insnrcs the* liberty of our country.
We congratulate every man of you whose glo
rious privilege it was to participate in this^
triumph of courage and truth, to fight in the
battle of Manassas. You have created an
epoch<in the history of liberty, and unborn
nations will rise up and call you blessed.
Continue this noble devotion, looking always
to the protection of the just God, and before
time grows much older, we will be bailed as
tire deliverers of a nation of ten millions of
people 1
Comrades! Our brothers who have fallen
have earned undying renown, and their blood,
shed in our holy cause, is precious and accep
table sacrifices to the father of truth and righ;
their graves are beside thejtomb of Wahington.
on their spirits have joined his in eternal
communion. We shall hold the soil in which
the dust of Washington is mingled with the
dust of our brothers. We drop one tear on
their laurels, and move forward to avenge them.
Soldiers! We congratulate vou on a glori
ous triumph and complete victory.' We thank
you for doing your whole duty in the service of
your country.’ Joseph E Johnston.

ITWe copy the following items from the
New York Journal of Commeice of the 29th
ult:
The Proposed Peace Meetings.—A cor
respondent, writing on this subject, says: “I
desire simply to say that the proposal to hold
a peace meeting in New York is worth taking
into consideration. The people are ahead of
you, coflld they speak—they are always wiser
than the papers. It is not too late to send the
olive branch of peace founded upon justice.
. Blessed, thrice blessed are the peace makers.”
The hotel business in New York is exceed
ingly dull. Compared with last year at this
time, almost nothing is doing. The property
owners in some instances have been offered the
choice of closing up the premises or accept
ing a nominal rent—landlords arid tenants
dividing the losses.
The French gun boat Jerome Napoleon,
Commander Buisson, arrived here on Satur
day from Toulon via Halifax. The is a pro
peller, 250 horse power, carries two 12 poun
ders. and has a crew of 118, officers included.
The Boston Commercial Bulleten has receiv
ed positive information, through a gentleman
recently arrived from New Orleans, that our
Pacific coast is in much greater danger from
privateers, than our Atlantic coast, and there
is located there a colony of Southern men who
iliC pi cpunn^ lie WUV JM I * IHVHO VW UltUVIV
our commerce in those waters.
The Sixty-ninth regiment N. Y. S. M., ar
rived in this city at pier No. 1, about
o.clock on Saturday morning, and were greeted
with cheers by acres of our Hibernian popu
lation, men. women and children, who had
gathered on the battery and the adjacent streets
at an early hour and many of whom had been up
all night awaiting the return of the brave sol
diers. Their appearance as they filed off the
boat and formed line in the street was a sad
one and presented the shady side of war.
Many can ied their hands in slings, or lim
ped, or had their heads bound up; and nearly
all exhibited rags, and borrowed, ill-fitting
hats and coats in place of the tidy uniform
which they took with them, The whole regi
ment looked overworked and fatigued, though
not discouraged or dispirited. All their ban
ners were dim with the smoke of battle, and
several of them were torn by the shot of the
enemy.
Thr Retreat to Alexandria.—The
scenes I witnessed in‘Alexandria, the day after
the battle, will never pass from my mind. Foot- j
— — sore blood stained, weary and exhausted from
exposure and want of food, returned the frag-!
ments of Regiments. In many instances without
coats, and evefl shoes; they came back cursing ;
the day- and also the men wbo had led them
into such a trap. It was then that the chiv
alric spirit of the South shone forth in the ’
deeds of her children. As an invading foe, t
shouting the war-cry of “On to Richmond,” 11
they had shrunk from them in disgust. At I c
their hands the wives and sisters of the South- 1
ern soldiers had received the most gratuitous 1
insults; but when they returned, fallen, and t
crushed going to and fro a bewildered herd, 1
seeking vainly for their officers and comrades; 1
these Sou'herners whom they had injured, pro- ;
vided food for them, tenderly cared for their ]
wounded, and in deep pity for their wretched
state, seemed to forget that they had been their
enemies. I should neve^have surmised such a
victory had been gained, or that the men thus
tenderly cared for were trie same who had in
vaded their soil, or taken up arms against them,
it is a noted fact that the only house closed
against them were the homes of prominent
Union men, and the only bauds not stretched
forth to aid thesn were those which in their
onward march bad \*avd the “stars and
stripes.” __ + ^ ^

PROCLAMATION OF GEN. fclLLOW.
On the 30th ult., Gen. Pillow issued the fol
lowing proclamation to the people of Mis
souri :
TO THE PEOPLE OF MISSOURI.
Nr.w Madhip, Mo.. July 30.
The forces under my command are your
neighbors, and we come at the instance and
request of the Governor of your State, as al
lies to protect you against tyranny and op
pression. As Tennesseans, we have deeply
sympathized with } ou. When you were called
to arms, and manifested a determination to re
sist the usurper who has trampled under his
feet the constitution of the government, and
destroyed all the guards so carefully prepared
for the protection of the liberties of the peo
ple by our fathers, and when yon cal! for help
Tennessee sends her aimy composed of her
cherished sons to your aid.
We will help you expel from your borders
the population hostile to your rights and insti
tutions—treating all such as enemies if found
under arms. We will protect your people
from wrongs of our army, and while we have
every reason to believe that no violence will
be done to your true hearted and loyal people,
the general commanding begs to be informed
if any ease of wrong should occur.
To the gallant army under his command,
who hold in their keeping the honor of Ten
nessee (though composed of Tennesseans, Mis
sissippians aiid Kentuckians,) he appeals as a
father of his children—to violate the right of
no peaceable citizens, but to guard the honor
of Tennessee as you would that of an affec
tionate mother, cheering you as her sons.
The field for active service is before you—
our stay here will be short—our mission is to
place our down-trodden sister on her feet, and
to enable her to breath after the heavy tread
of the tyrant’s foot.
Then by her own brave sons, she will main
tain her rights and protect her own fair wo
men from the foe whose forces march under
banners inscribed with “booty and beauty,”
as the reward for victory.
In the.victory the brave are always merciful
but no quarter will be shown to troops inarch
ing under such a banner.
In this view, and for these purposes, we
call upon the people of Missouri to come to
our standard, join in our forces and aid in their
ovvn liberation, (f you would be freemen you
Ill UAL M”llt IUI uj^ucj.
Bring such arms as you have—we will fur
nish you with ammunition and lead you on to
victory. That the just ruler of nations is
with us, is manifested in the glorious victory
with which onr arras were crowned at the
bloody field of Manassas.
GIDEON J. PILLOW, Gen. Com.
How a Brave Man Died.— The Hon. T.
R. Cobb delivered in the Confederate congress,
on the 24th inst., a beautiful and eloquent eu
logy on Gen. Francis S Bartow, of Georgia,
who was killed in the battle of the 21st., from
which we take the following extract:
Of the manner of his death, Mr. President,
I can only speak from rumor, but I have taken
pains to inquire from those who were nearest
to him on that memorable occasion.and there
fore I may speak with accuracy. During the
day his own command had suffered much.
Towards noon it be came necessary, as I un
derstand for the left wing of our army, to keep
from being flanked by the enemy, to fall back
further and'further towards its original posi
tion, occupied in the morning. About thi*=
time, the exact hour I cannot tell, my friend
approached BeauregcH the General com
manding, and said:
“What shall now be d< t • Tell an
human effort can avail, » will do:: ” "b '
reply was, “that battery , n I bt; *n<-‘. ,
Seizing the standard of his own regin* it/
and calling the remnants ofhia command to
rally and follow him, he led the van in the
charge of battle. A hall wounded him sligh
tly arid killed his itors'1 under him. Still
grasping the standard and rising again, he
mounted another horse, and waving his cap
around his head, he cheered his boys to come
on. They followed. The next wound was
from a ball that entered his hear t. He spoke
afterwards to the few of his brave boys who
gathered around,him. His words will ever be
memorable. He’ said, “they have killed me,
but hever give up the fields.” That last com
mand was gallantly obeyed, and his boys silen
ced the battery of which he died in the charge

Davis and Lincoln.—A correspondent of
the N. 0. Crescent, gives that paper the
following etymological analysis :
“Davis in the Gallic orthography for David
which signifies well-belovep; an! his repu
tation maintains its original signification as a
irroal loader nf aTi nnnrcssed neonlp. who an*
treeing themselves of the tyrant’s yoke.
Lincoln, authentically traced to its origin,
is found to be a compound word in the Celtic
tongue, lin and coin. “Liu” means a pool,
mire, mud. “Coin” is a contraction of colon,
which in this connection signifies an inhabi
tant of a colony. Therefore, Lincoln origi
nally signifies the inhabitant of a mud colony,
which modernized, may be the same as a ,
mud sucker. This probably accounts for his .
not being very clear. 1
, --♦ « —
The Northern Rebellion.—Under this |
caption the Harrisburg (Pa.,) Union, hitherto i
a strong war journal, thus touches upon a new
danger which is beginning to threaten the i
North :
“Are our readers aware that a rebellion
against the authority of the Government is
organizing at the North—that treason is rear
ing its ugly head in the midst of the very par
ty that professes the most determination in
putting down the rebellion at the “South ? It
is even so. Daily attempts are now being
made to array the army against the Govern
nent. and to set up the military above civil
luthorities.”

espondent of the New York Evening Post says
hat no one seemed to feel the depression of

en, of Kentucky. When be rose on Monday

More Vandalism.— We met with a young
gentleman yesterday from Prience Willie'11
sounty, says the Fredericksburg Recorder,
ivho said that his uncle was the overseer of
John Washington at Mount Vernon, aud that
the Hessians came there on Wednesday and
look and carried away all the servants, the
itore's and the rolling stock of Ihe farm.
gsgTStro’-g resnhitios in favor of peace
lave been introduced into the Connecticut, S
egislature. They are not without meaning. |
rh? North is beginning to find out that some- j
tody is aboplto be “hurt.” [

Three Months Volunteers.—The North
ern press is teeming with criminations which
it heaps upon the three months volunleeis
who have returned and refuse to be parties in
the intended subjugation of oui fair land.
Every device and species of abuse is cast upon
them and not unfrequently the broad-mouthed
cannon is turned upon their ranks, yet with no
effect—they have thrown down their arms
and are determined to go home.
We are afraid that “Old Abe” does
not read his Bible. He says in his message :
“So large an army as the Government has
now on foot was never before known.■’
But if he will read the Books of Exodus
and numbers, ho will learn that the Israelites
bad an army of 603,550, and all volunteers at
that. _
The Pious and Exemplary Zouave.—
The Wilmington Journal says:
One of Ellsworth’s Zouaves had bend asur
ed that he should dine this week in Richmond
Before he had a chance to pull triger a ball
tumbled him over, and he was taken to Rich
mond sure enough. “Well,” said he, “here
I am in Richmond!” But, added this pious
and exemplary man. in his poetical style,
“how the h—I am I to dine with a ball in my
belly?”
--■ — .
The Unwashed.—Poor old Prentice in try
in"'to revive the spirits of his brother aboli
tionists after the great route at Manassas, says
that the United States can furnish a greater
army than that of Xerxes. Yes, and a more
unfortunate one. Manassas has proved their
Marathon. The next great battle will be their
Platea.
A New' Rumor.— A correspondent of the
New York Times writes form Washington
that he has learned “from sources entitled to
unquestionable credit that the British Gov
ernment, acting in concert with that of France,
is about to request of the United States
brovenillicni uic cacui|m.iuii Ui. uuc wuutuciu
cotton port from the blockade, so that they
may get needful supplies of the staple.”
--
Lloyd Moore, a (nember of the Meth
odist Virginia Conference, and present min
ister on the Nelson Circuit, has made a ten
der of his horse to the “Nelson Rangers.” and
expresssd his cheerful v\ i llingne^s to walk the
ciicuit and continue to labor in his ministry
as heretofore.
(g-T The factory at Nashville, Tennessee,
under the superintendence of Col. Samuel
Morgan, is turning out daily 126.000 musket

(j!^“ In one of the Massachusetts regiments
which participated in the battle of Manassas,
was one containing 336 hoot and shoe makers.
That probably accounts for their pegging out
