Fredericksburg, Ya., ) May 10th, 18C3. f Another great battle has teen fcught, and with the ; !' cf God we have been gloriously victorious. The Yu:,Lee army of the Potomac after eight days hard marching and fighting, has again been badly beaten. V l.uve driven Hooker back across the Eappahan- ,k with tbe Joss of about thirty thousand men, to- i i lit r whr imGiense ijuaQiiiies oi eiurea ui nu muup. , i - . i a l x r l T An Oirhsal think has been comparative! v email.

The alarm cuve warning on the morniDg of the 2Qth of April :: ;t the enemy Lad driven in our pickets below tbe t wis und crossed. There were various rumours in re-.-ar l to their cunbers, but nothing reliable. Theycap :;rtd one company of a Louisiana regiment then on t;ckt t. Aa soon aa it could be done, our regiment was : 'Tcied and marching above the town where our pick : were stationed, formed in line of battle awaiting :urther developments. Nothing, however, occured to i turb the fiuiet above, and just after night, as Bix com ; u.:it s of our regiment were marching back to town : :r of the companies having been left to strengthen ::.e pickets we received orders to march, and procecd- several miles below the town occupied the heights "Uich were entrenched, all next day, April 30th. As :. ;-'ht was approaching, we again received orders (the vumy Laving made no further demonstration in our :r'.'Lt, their crossing below being a mere feint to at tract our attention irom the movements of their main army which crossed above,) and getting in motion marched to a point about 8 miles above town, between :c plank road and the river, to confront the immense ' rce there. The enemy below town recrossed that citrLt, i0th April. We arrived at our new post some t ::!-' iu the night, and laying on our arms in line of '.ittltj, remained until about 10 o'clock, A. M., May '!;, when we received orders to proceed still further )ove. We had gone bu4 a few miles when we met the ULkees, and hastily forming line of battle, ekirmisned ith and shelled, receiving ourselves a terrible shower . : -vl! rrrnnpfi'inf. nml rlf?f hl!a hv whiph the 51 fit 'ie-urgia of our brigade lost about forty men, including t .t ir Colonel, Wm. Slaughter, killed, and Lieut. Col. i!a;!, wounded. The others lost but slightly ; our re--".Rieat lost two or three wounded slightly. After several L-.rd of stubborn fighting, the enemy retreated up the ; oad :ind stopping at and in the neighborhood, of Chan ia llorYille, entrenched his position heavily. They bad cuce but a few miles from Moss Wilderness Church, the l".,ition they had just Ieit. We followed late in the -it. arriving immediately in front of bis position tbout Jjrk, bivouaced on our arms for the night. The next timing, May 2nd, after moving backwards and for wurd, to the right and to the left, we gained our place !" line. Three of our companies under tue command ' t Capt. McBride, were sent out as skirmishers to feel t'.t- euemv'd position, while the batteries which had Uca previously posted on cur right and left, oneuid on 'Uir works. The enemy replied in splendid style, our iruiishers soon became sharply engaged, and all that iy the boominsr of cannon and the shot of small arms in our ears, sometimes almost defeaninff and appar tttly very tear. Our artillery and skirmishers were doing prave work. During the forenoon of this day, Jnd May, :;e after line of skirmishers and brigade after brigade fstd us, first moving forward then falling back, then jving to the right, again to the left, until an immense '.ubtr of men (Confederates) were massed in our vi l ir.ity. Our fellows began to wonder where old Lee vo: so many men. Again rumors were started that the t: iny's batteries and works were to be stormed and pur brigade was to go in front be the leading column. He firing m our front continued allthis tim, everythirg being curiously quiet on our right, fronting Anderson's d.visiou, at)d our left occupied by Stonewall's brave boys. A. P. Hill's division, I believe was on our im mediate left, the rest of Jackson's corps extending on in tte same line. Towards noon, tbe troops that had been wising, marching and countermarching around and uout us, noiselessly disappeared and we (our division, Ale Laws' with the exception of Barksdale's Mississip pi brigade, who were lett to take care of the stone fence und Marye's Heights together with part of the Wash v. gton Artillery) were left'alone in our glory to hold this the front line. We now" learned the secret of the variou3maEuiivreaand demonstrations that bad been made here this morning, and the unaccountable qaiet I oa our right and left. It proved to b3 this, Jackson had received orders.to flank. the enemy's right, and we front were to keep thejr attention fixed on us, while tLia was being done. Aboutan hour before sun down Ltavy cannonading in the-rear of Hooker'a right prov to us that old Stonewall tad gained his object, and wa3 thundering in the rear of our stubborn foe Then eame the building and strengthening of breastworks as we were ordered to hold our line at all hazards, should the enemy, hard pushed by Jackson, be driven back an3 attempt to break through our living wall. There is no use in telling you that our men worked with a will ; a f8able earthwork was soon thrown op and tbe canpn- ading ceasing about dark, we all laid nr down to sleep, for aa the moon rising in the heavens cast a brilliant day-like lustre on the smoke enveloped ertb, the firing recommenced and lasted until midnight ; peal after peal, followed by tremendous rolls, (for they did not only rat tle, it Was a constant, almost deafening roll) of rifles and musketry, approaching nearer and nearer, told us that cur brave boys were gaining ground 'steadily. The excitement was intense, and our men, losing all sen e of danger perched on trees, crowded on the breast works, and every height that commanded a view of tne scene, listened in almost breathless euspense to the most terrible field cannonading of the war. Tbis state of things could not last long ; finally an officer mounted on a splendid charger came dashing along our line pro claiming the joyful tidings that "Stonewall Jackson was a Hooker's rear pressing him seveiely." This gave vent to their pent up feelings and in loud, thrilling, pro longed cheers, they sent word over to the Yankees that thty knew the state of tfiairsand jloried in thtir mise ry About midnight everything tecame quiet and our men, though weary and huogry, reluctautly rolled up in their blankets for the night. Skirmishers from the 51st Georgia, relieved ours who hiid be-fn fighting all that day and night. Early next morning, May 3rd, we again sent out skirmishers from the 10th, (lour companies commanded by Captain Kibber, an almost, beardless yoab ) 'I hey were afterwards reinforced by Co. "K," making five iu all. We lost ore deer and tLree of our men elightly wounded in the aflair of the 2i.d To-dy, the 3rd, was to be the yrani day. Our pick ets advanced, the remaining five companies of our regiment forwarded aa a support to them, tLe batteries opened, the firing on the o her side recommenced, and thus began a day glorious in the annals of Southern in dependence. The fighting this morning was terrific, and though pressed hard, on the right, in the rear and in front, the enemy stubbornly contested every inch of g.ound until several brigades on cur line moving in line on his works, he suddenly, about eleven o'clock, re treated, gaing off by tbe left" fl ink, doable quick down the Ealy road toward the river, in such a hurry that he forgot to notify hi3 skirmishers, and our regiment walked in and made them turret-der. Gen. Wright having advanced and occupied the position they had just evacuated, claimed half of the prisoners. Lt. Col. Holt generously granting his claim, we got two hun dred and eight including sevtn companies of the 27th Connecticut with their efficers, one zjuave, one regular, one artilleryman, (an orderly Sergeant) and an orderlv in the ordnance department, who happeniug to be or dered down to the picket line with ammunition just at this time was taken with the rest. The prisoners wtre march out, Company " E," my old company, detailed to guard them down to Guinea's station, and we took up our line of march towards Fredericksburg ; hearing that Jackson was following Hooker and thinking that cur fighting for the time being was over with. But alus lor human hepet! lor us the worst had yet to cms. We had gone but a few miles when we learned that General Sedgwick, with a large Yankee force, lud crossed below the city, taken Marye's Heights, cap tured a great many of Uarksdale's Brigade, and five or six pieces of the Washington Artillery, was marching up tbe plaDk road driving Wilcox's brigade before him, and was then but a couple of miles distant. Disheart ening as this news was to cur men, they nerved them selves for the encounter, and marched cheerfully on to this new field. As we went on wounded passed us on their way to lherear, sure signs of the conflict in front. Gaining Salem Church we formed cur line, or rather commenced to form it on the left of Wilcox's brigade, which was posted on the left of the plank road facing the town. The 50th Ga., the left flanking regiment of our brigade had not formed its line; when the Virginia pickets from Mahone's brigade came jumping over the fence we were behind, and the battle commenced. Ma hone took position on our left; on our right and left the enemy could be seen advancing (his artillery was post- ! ed about three quarters of a mile on a hill in our front,) but the woods iu our advance were so dense that not a Yankee could be seen, and to thus lay quiet while on both flanks the firing was continuous aud heavy, was a sore trial to our boys, for the balls and shells were ploughing over and through our ranks frightfully. Re lief however soon came ; for Wilcox gave the order to charge and over his brigade went with a yell. Our regiment being next, caught tbe infection and started ; Gen'l Semmes endeavored to stop them, I heard but thought that he was ordering the charge, and at the top of my lungs passed the word along the line, " Over the fence men, charge ;" responsive to the call over they jumped, yelling and firing, the 51st Ga., the adjoining regiment to oars alone following of Semmes' brigade. The enemy stood their ground until we got within about forty yards, when they became panic stricken and fled like sheep. We overtook many of them and brought them out safe. Our boys followed the fugi tives through the woods, over fences, across the field, and though our men were being mowed aown in heaps by their terrible discharges cf grape and canister, ad vanced so far that their gunners (all but the crew of one gun) left their posts and hid and squatted behind their caisons, and we would have captu ed the battery but they brought a fresh column up to tbe attack, and our men being tired and blown, with no support at all, were compelled, reluctantly, to fall back and seek shelter be hind tbe fence we started from. While the charge was in progress the race was an intensely exciting one. The two Georgia regiments, 10th and 51st, advanced tartn er Jthan Wilcox's Alabamians, and Gen'l Semmes could be plainly seen in the front ranks of the farthest men, flourishing his pistol, and. made doubly conspicu ous by a red Zouave cap which be wore in place of his own military chapeau. We fell back grumblingly, bringing with us (our regiment) about one hundred and forty prisoners, and left the field strewed with the Yan kee dead and dying. We suffered severely but taught our insolent foe a lesson he will not soon forget. Their loss was much greater than ours.- Gen. Semmes re ceived a ball through his cap, but as he remarked "a miss is as good as a mile." The only damage 1 expe rienced wai a hole through ray blanket by a piece of shell. I am not sure whether it was done while I had it on or not, for 1 did not carry it w.th me all through the charge. On returning to our line we were shelled furiously until dark, when pace and quiet once more reigned. The morning of May 4th dawned upon the two ar mies occupying tbe same positions of the evening bz fore. The Yankees bad taken advantage of the dark ness and reinforced very strongly, though Lowir,gno signs of another attack ; they seemed to be satii-Std with their attempt of the day before, and lay quietly around their guua or passing about from group to group, apparently as peaceable as any other human beings. Rumors were started this morning thut we had to charge that battery, and the excitement consequent was kept up Bome time ; but no forward movement being made, it finally died out, and the men passed the morning as usual in such cases, cleaning guns, replen ishing cartridge boxes, &c, Sec. About 2 P. M. Gen eral Semmes sent me out with his glars to watch the foe, a3 hs said an attack was expected by Gen. Early who had got in their rear, and he wished to know what effect it would have what disposition o! th ir forces woull be made. About an hour aud a half before sun down, the first firing commenced. At the crack of the first gun in their rear, the men prang to tLeir guns, and everything was soon in motion : it was clearly evi deut that it wi.s a surprise to then. The muokeay growing nearer and heavier, tbe infantry began to move apparently to the tear, part of the skirmishers Irontirg us, ran in though afterwards sent back ana iour pieces of artillerv were moved from our front, leaving s;xteen still. 1 oould count them plainly, I could even with the aid of the glass, see the shoulder straps worn by the officers. 1 of course reported all their move ments to the General, and retired to the lines only when the fast accumulating smoke and darkness obscured fur ther vision. They shelled us this afternoon some time ; from spite, I suppose, for the cheers of Early's men, and news afterwards brought, told us that the Stone Fence and Marye's Heights were again ours; retaken with very little resistance. Thev retreated early after dark towards Bank's ford on the Rappahannock, Gen. Ker shaw following closely on their heels. 1 hey got ou amid the 6helling of several batteries that were within range of the ford. We slept soundly that night. Ua the morning of the 5th May we moved further down to the left ; the position occupied on the 3rd by tbe 50th and 53rd Georgia, the two reeimeuts of our brigade that did not charge with ua. We found that they had not been idle however, as their losses and tbe dead and dying covered the ground occupied by the enemy fully testified. It seems that their whole line did not run, but that we broke their line and left a force fighting the 50th and 53rd, who probably did not know that their companions had run and left them. A great many of cur men, including myself passed right behind the Yankees while they were thus en gaged but did not know it at the time. We heard the firing but supposed that it was ou. regiments firing at our own men returning from the charge. I passed im mediately behind them and saw straggling Yankees in the woods on my way out. About 4 I . M.- we receiv ed marching orders and started up th:i liver agate.- Jackson's men had got Hooker in a swamp close by the river, on a very stroi gly entrenched hill, and called on us to assist in dislodging him.! We arrived after a weary aarch of bosk eeyen or eight miles, through the rain, with mud and water atkle deep nearly every step, occupied the position assigned us and - went to sleep. Tbe morning of the 6th we threw up works, advanced skirmishers, opened, our artillery, but as no spirited re sponse was made, forwarded our pickets into their works and found that they had crossed the river. Thus, we drove back tb last of "the best army on the planet" to seek shelter on the other rde of the Rappahannock, un der the protection of their seige guns. ; lliey shelled us a little from their batteries on the other side. Gen'l Kershaw's men took about forty prisoners this morning who had been left behind.' The Yankee - army crossed daring the night on three pontoon bridges. In the af ternoon, the Becond battle of Fredericksburg being over, we took up our line of march for the city, but when within a mile and a half, received orders to cur old camp, which we reached about 9 P. M., May 6th. We moved our camp about two miles from the old place to-day, and here .we are quiet and peaceful, everything goiDg on as usual, and had not oae been in it. It would Btdsirer him to believe that thesa men, now laughing, chatting and singing in such i a quiet and peaceful way. were but a few dava aero passing through an ordeal that can not be adequately described, and which truly " tries men's soul?." I think tLi? the great merit, the beauty of our army, after such great, such unprecedented victories, to re lapse quietly and contentedly into the hardships, ex prsures and restraints of a camp life. You see by this narrative that our brigade has harifrork to do, and that, it has done its duty nobly the following list of casualties will vouch for. 10th Georgia , 134 men. 50th " 183 " 51st w 142 " 53rd " 120 " Total 570 men. No one of the regiments mustered as many as four hundred men, even when the battle con menced, and when the 10th Ga., charged, they had but about two hundred and thirty or forty men. The morning after the charge we mustered only one hundred and four mus kets. It seems a miracle to me how I escaped, but knowing the source from whence my safety and protec tion came, I earnestly, honestly, sincerely and hembly thank Gcd for his goodness, and fervently pray for its continuance. Our regiment rather doubted the men of the new regiments in our brigade before this fi?ht, but they have confidence in them now, and Gen'l Semmes braggs on hiw brigade. Oar regiment is his favourite.

Patriotism has ever been esteemed one of the noblest virtues of our nature. With the nations of antiquity it was considered the first. An ancient philosopher has justly remarked, that " every citiz j should be as solicitous about the public good, as a bee about her hive." Now, indeed, is the time for us to continually remembsr and observe this wholesome advice. War is the hard school which " trie3 men's souls." It exposes the weak, selfish and unprincipled members of society to eternal infamy ; it brings forth the noSle virtues of j the brave, patriotic and good for the admiralion of the present generation, and will consecrate their memories in the hearts of posterity. The man who takes advantage of his country.in times like these to amass riches, at her loss and danger, is surely undone. Riches, at best, are of shor-t duration, and may be, and is, often lost in a day,- fJonor and a good name liveth forever, and is ever pleasing to God, the giver of every good and perfect gift " In such a sacred and glorious contest as that in which we are engaged, when we give all, we giv nothing. Necessity, absolute necessity, forced us to withdraw from the Union. Oar sole object was self-defence, not injury. We sincerely desired tbe blessings of peace, bui our barbarous enemies have ignored the sacred principles of self-government and libeny, and are carrying on a bar barous war against us. We have no alternative left us but to conquer or gloriously perish. Conquest or subjugation, if we act tbe part of patriots and brave men, is impossible impossible. But we should ever remember that God helps those who help themselves. We have already t; i ished tbe wreath of our military glory, but we Lt ve not yet done enough for liberty and independence. The Confederate Government has a delicate ard ar duous duty to perform. It has often, and doubtless will yet do wrong. But we should remember the com plicated and difficult circumstances in which it is placed, and make some allowances for the imperfections -fltf poor human nature. Those efheera and soldiers who have been neglected or wrorjged.ought for the public good to be sileut during the continuance of the war, as "dissen tion is weakness, union strength. When the contest is over, a just and magnanimous Congre&s will do all full justice. And it they should ba disappointed in this hope, they will have the envia ble satisfaction cf knowing that, although wronged, they have paid the homage due to justice and liberty, which will ever be a proud and enduring satisfaction. Lzt each and all act their part well " therein all the honor lies." CATO. May 23d, 1663. From the Cleveland (Ohio) Plainde aler. Slgna of Loyalty. 1.

The Major-General commanding tenders to this army hi congratulations cn its achievements of the last seven days, if it has not accomplished all that was expected, the reasons are well known to the army. It is sufficient to say they were of a character not to be foreseen or prevented by human sagacity or resources. In with drawing from the south bank ot the Rappahannock, be fore delivering a general battle to our adversaries, the army has given renewed evidence of its confidence in itself, and its fidelity to the principles it represents. In fighting at a disadvantage we would have been recreant to cur trust, to ourselves, our cause and our country. Profoundly loyal and conscious of its strength, the army of the Potomac will give or decline battle whenever its interest cr honor muy deruand. It will also be the guardian of its own history and its own honor. By our celerity and secresy of movement, our advance end passage cf the rivers were undisputed; and on our withdrawal not a rebel returned to follow. The events ot the last week may swell with pride the hearts of every elficer and soldier cf this army. We have added new laurels to its former renown. We have made long marches, crossed rivers, surprised the enemy iu his entrenchments ; and whenever we have fought we have inflicted heavier blovs tnan we have re ceivid. We have taken from the eneci five thousand pris oners and fifteen colors, captured and brought off seven pieets of artillery, aud piaced Ao. du combat eighteen thousand ol his chos-n troop3. We have destroyed his depots filled with vast amounts of storts, damaged his communications, captured prisomrs within the fortifi cations of his capital, and filled his country with fear and consternation. We have no other regret than that caused by the death of our brave componions ; and in this we are consoled by the conviction that they have fallen in the holiest cause ever subletted to the arbi trament of battle.

Houston's Company, 1st reRiment N. C. Cavalry. - The death of Berg't Merritt, fco sudden and unexpected, in the m dnt of high hopes, bright prospects and blooming youth, was indeed appalliug ; bat to know him, to feet the genial warmth ot hia irieodship end social intercourse ia camp, to hear his merry, ringing laugh and cheerful glee on the rounds of duty, and to witness hU cool and manly dinng ia the perilous hour of battle, was necessary to ap preciate thair high estimate of . his worth, and the' deep heariielt ancitia of hia comrades in arm i at tho victory of the crave . In one of the battles before Richmond, when his regiment made a brilliant but tearful and disastrous charge against the enemy's Hues of isfantry and arti'lery iu position, he was assigned by his Commander to the post of danger and oi honor, as leader of the advanced guard. He fire J the first gun upon the enemy and brought down his mar.-, but he narrowly escaped with his li.-e having received a Eharpe's rifle ball in the leck of his own Carbine as it fcung by his side. Af terwards, on 7th Augusc, in a skirmish at Malvern Hill, he was ag&'n ia the hottest fire, but this time less fortunate. He was slightly wounded on the head his horse was killed under him, and bis leg broken, tie fell into the hands of the enemy for several hoars, but being unable to ride on horse-back, thev left Lirn fcy the roaa side, when he was xe-caCtuied by a portion of his Com pasy, who west in pursuit. His wound was slight, but his broken limb result d in hopeless lameness tor ate, and his usefulness as a soldier wan at an end. He had recently been at home, but had returned to the regiment to procure a discharge, which he was entitled to, but-owing to some unknown cause, the Surgical Board of Gen. Hampton's brigade, oould not be gotten together. Eight weeks of marching and exposure, iu his crippled con dition, to the mcst icclement weather of tbe winter, brought upon him severe cold, followed by congestion and death. Berg't Ue.ritt was a man of mark. His loss will be no less severely feit in the community of which he was an active, enterprising, intelligent citizen, than in the regiment to which he belonged, und in which he had won, by his gal lantry aud honorable soldierly bearing, the respect and special confidence of all, from the Col. commanding, to the humblest private in the ranks. It will even be a source of cooBolation to his bereaved friends to know that he re ceived the kindest attention of the hospitable family of Mr. Kyger, at whose honse he died, as well aa of syinpath yz ng friends and comrade.

Wr A PROCLAMATION. flEREAS, I have learned with great pain lhaUhere nave been latterl-v nn-nomna riDiti-.na fmm tk. ranks of our gallant army, and that there are many persona in the country who incite and cncouraira theso desertiona and harbor and conceal these misguided men at homo, la ead of encouraging them to return to duty fcow therefore, I, ZEBULON B. VANCE ilcvtmnv f the State of North-Carolina, do issue this my proclamation" cotn&ding all euch evil disposed persons to deaiat from such base, cowardly and treasonable conduct, and warning them that they will subject themselves to indictment and paiiiaiment ia the civil courts of ths Confedoracy, as well as to the everlasting contempt and detestation ot all good and honorable men. Certainly no crime could be creater. no rnwurdtr.n mnrn abject, no treason more base, than ror a citizen of the state, er.joymg its privileges ana protection without shar ing ils dangers, to persuade tho&e who have had tho cour ego to go lorth in delence of their country, vilely to desert the colors which they hve sworn to uphold, when a miser able death or a vile and ignominious existence must be the inevitable eczseqatnees. No plea can excuse it. Tho tatter or tha brother who does it should be shot icstcad of his deluded victim, for be doliberately destroys the soul and manhood of Irs ov n Hi th and blood. And the same is done by him who harbors and conceals the deserter. Forwho can respect either tho one or the othe? 't What honest man will ever wish cr permit hia own brave sons or patriotic daughters, who bore their parts with credit in this great fctiu?t?le for i&dependenoe, to associate even to the third and fourth gcuerations, with the vile wretch who skulked in tho woods, or tie still viler coward who aided him, while li bkeding country was calling in vaii for hid help ? both are enemias dangerous en emies to their country, before whom our open foes will bo infinitely preferred. Both are fees to their own kindred and iiobl' countrymen who are electrifying the world by their gallant deeds, ad pouring out their blood upon the fi.ld o battlo to protect those very men who are sapping the vitals of our strength. Ai.d woe onto you, deserters, and your aiders and aoettors, when peace being made and independeuce secured, theso brave comrades whom ye have deter. ed ia the hcur of their trial shall return hon ored and triumphant to their homes ! Ye that hide your guilty laces by day, and prowl like outlaws about by night, robbing the wives and motheis of your noble defenders of their little means, while th;y are lar away facing the ene my, do you thitk je can eacapo a just and damning ven geance when the day.ot reckoning comes? And ye that thelter, conceal, and feed these miserable depredators and stimulate theoi to their deeds, think you that ye will Le spared ? Nay ! rest assured, obbervicg and never failing eyes have marked you, every one. And when the overjoy ed wile welcomes once m re her brave and honored hue band to his home, and tells him how in the long years of his absence, in the lonely hours cf the night, ye who had beeu his comrae'es rudel v entered her houso, robbed her and her children of thtir bread, and heaped ins t and in dignities upon her defenceless head, the wrath ot that he- roic husband will maae you regret in me oiin'iuera uiyoui cowardly terror that you were ever born. Instead of a few scattered militia, tho land will be lull of veteran soldiers, before whodc honest laces y ou wm not nave courage iu raise your eyes trom the earth. If permitted to live iu the ritate at all, ycu will be infamous. You wiil bo hustled from the polls, insulted iu the streets, a jury of your coun trymen will not believe you on oath, ana honest men every wheie will shun you as a pestilence ; ior be who lacks courage and patriotism can have no other good quality or redeeming vntue. Though nfany of you ri jecttid the par don hereioforo ottered you, aud 1 am net now authorized to promiie it, yet I am atsurtJ that no man w 11 bo shot who bhail voluutarily return to duty. This w the only chance to redeem youre elves from tha disgrace and igno miny which you aro incurring. A gaia our troops have met the enemy and a reat and glorious victory has been won. But Beveral thousand ol our soldiers fell ia achieving it for us. Every txan is need ed to replace the gallant dead, aud preserve an unbrokeu front to our still powerful eLeiny. UnlebS desartion is pre vented our strength ruuot depart from cur armies, and de sertion can never bo stopped whilo either through a false and mistaken sympathy or downright disloyalty, they re ceive any countenaac.j or protection at homo. 1 therefore appeal to all good citizens and true patriots in tbe Btato to astiot my officers ia aucstiug deserters, and to irown down all thobe who aid aud assist them. Place the brand upon them aud make them feel the curn aud contempt ot aa out raged people. UlIs-s the good and the patriotic all over the laud a.ise as cue nuu to arrest this dangerous evil, it mnv crow until our arxuv i3 well niiih miued. The danger ot starvation hav 'Eg happily patted away the approach ing and apparently bounteous harvest giving evidence of ample supplies for the coining year-our great army iu Vir ginia again jubilant over a mighty victory I am well as sured that our danger now lies iatbe disorganization pro duced by desertion. You can arrest it, my country incu, it you wiil but make a vigorous effort, if you wiil but bring to bear tho weight of a great, a patriotic and united commu nity in aid ot your authorities.
