We learn that all cf the Confederate pria onejs,taken at RoanokeIsland have been re leased on payola , Quite a number arrived in ibis city on Monday afternoon. They stated that about 150 were left at Weldon, to come on Tuesday's train. Among the number left at Weldon wa,we learn, Lieut. Col. Fowle. Major Williamson arrived' in this place on Monday, and is stopping at the Yarborough House. i i ' V. . From the Klchmond Dispatch. SITUATION OF THINGS IN TEKNESSE$i The telegraph frbm Memphis, published this .ruprninggives.us mare ihait we have had up to this lime from our side relative to the state of things in Tennessee. The distressing silence of 'the War Department excited the worst apprehen sions about Fort Doneleon, and the truth sustains them. Our loss there is terrible. Twelve thousand of our men captured, is a story that wrings our hearts not ; a 'little. The enomv's strength must have been immense many thou sand superior to ours, independent of tbir gnu boats. . U Thq evacuation of Nashvilfa by tie Confeder ate forced is beyond doubt, it was of course an .inevitable measure, or wo may f resume that our ueaerni.i never wouiu nave aciopiea it. A dispatch from' Augusta,' dated Saturday, states that the eoemy's gunboats reached Nash ville on Thursday : "but our dfepatch from Mem phis states that the enemy had not occupied the city oh Friday, 1 Gemeral Johnston is reported to neat Murfrees borough, which is twenty-two: miles sputheast of JMasnviue, ana not. iri reach of gunboats,) whether to niake a stand there or riot is not stated. . General Beauregard W reported to be jat Colum bus, and determined to defend lit. ..; We had anti cipated the evacuation ot that idlac bv bur forces. and think it doubtful now that General B. will attempt to hold it. i V PROCLAMATION., v'- : ' -' . - ; i : BY TITJE " PRESIDENT.

The confidence of the most hopeful among ui must have been destroyed by the disregard they have recently exhibited for ail the time-honored bnl warks of civil" and religious liberty. JJastiles. filled with prisoners, arrested without civil pro cess, or indictment duly found: the writ of Aa bea's corpus suspended by executive mandate; a State Legislature controlled by the imprisonment of mem bors whose avowed principles suggested to the Federal Executive that there might be another added to the list of seceded-States ; elec tions held under threats of a military power civil officer?, peaceful citizens, and gentle women incarcerated lor opinion's sake, proclaimed the incapacity of our late associates to administer a government as free, liberal and humane as .bat established fjor our common use. .For proof of the sincerity of our purpose to maintain our ancient institutions, we may point to the Constitution of the Confederacy and the laws enacted under it, as well as to the fact that through all the necessities ot our unequal strug gle, there has been no acton our part to impair personal libeVty or the freedom of tpoech, of thought, or Of the press. The Courts have , been open; Ihejodicial functions fully executed, and every righ. of the peaceful citizen maintained as securely as if a war of invasion'had not disturbed the land. i , ' . The people pi , the States now confederated, be. came convipiced that the government of the United States had fallen into the hands of a sec tional majority, who wouJd pervert7 that most sa cred, of all trusts to the destruction of the rights which it wasi pledged to protect, luey believed, that to lediain "longer in theUnion wbuld'sub ject them to a continuance of a disparaging dis crimination, submissionto whieh would be in consistent with their welfare, and intolerable to a proud people. They therefore determined to" sever its bonds, and establish a new Confederacy for themselves. Cheers. The experiment instituted by our revolutionary fathers of a voluntary! union of sovereign States for purposes specified in a solemn compact, bad been! gettiDg right,, were determined to respect no law. hut their own will. The government had ceased to answer theiends for which it' was. ordained and established. To save1 ourselves from a revolution, which in its silent but rnptd progress was about to place us under the despotism bf numbers, and5 to preserve in spirit as Well as in form, a system of government, we believed to be peculiarly fitted to our condition and full of promise for mankind, we determined to make a new association com posed ot States homogeneous in interest, in poli cy, and in feeling. Cheers. True to our traditions of peace and our love of justice, we sent commissioners to the United. States lo propose a fair andamicable settlemen t of all questions of public debt or property which might be in dispute. But the government at Washing ton, denying our right to self-government, re fused even to listen to any proposals for - a peace-' ful separation, Nothing was then left to -us but to prppare for; war. Cheers The year in our history has been the most' eventful in the annals of this Continent. A new government has been established, and its ma chinery put in operation, over an area exceeding 700,000 6quare miles, i. The great principles upon which we have been willing to hazard every thing that is dear to man, have made conquests for us which could joever have been achieved by the sword. Our Confederacy has grown from six lo thirteen States ; and Maryland, already united to us by hallowed memories, and material inter-: ests, will, I bel.eve, when able to speak with on stifled voice, connect her destiny with the South. (Great applauBe.)! Our people have rallied with unexampled unanimity to the support of the great principle : of Constitutional government, with firm resolve to perpetuate by arms -the rights which they could not peacefully secure. A mil lion of men, it isatimated, are now standing in hostile array, anda aging war along a froatier of thousands of miles; battles 'have been fougTit ; seiges have been conducted, and although the contest is not ended, and the tide for the moment is agafpet us, the final tesult in our favor is; not doubtfuL ! The period is uear at band, when our foes mueJ, sink under the immense load of debt which they have incurred ; a debt which in their effort to subjugate us, has already attained such fearful di mensions as will subject them to burthens which must continue to oppress them for generations to, come. ; . We too, have had our trials and difficulties. : That we are to escape them in future is not to be hoped. It was to be expected when we entered upon this war, that it would expose our people to sacrifices and cost them much, both of money and1 blood. But we knew "the value of the object fof which we struggled, and understood the nature of the war in whieh we were engaged. Nothing could beeo bad as failure, and any sacrifice would lie cheap as the price of success in such a contest. Cheers. . . . & . '1 . But the picture ha its 'lights as well as fts shadows. This great strife has awakened in the people the highest emotions and qualities of - the human soul. It is cultivating feelings of patriot ism, virtue, and courage. Instances ; of self sacrifice and of generous devotion; to , the "noble cause 1 for, which weare contending, are rife throughout' the land; Never has a people eria ced a mare determined spir;t than that t now ahi- f J.ia-. . maung men, women ana cinaren, in every part pf our country.

Therefore we are in arms to renew si.ch sacrifices as oift fathers made to the holy cause of coastitu tionatUberty. At the darkest hour of our strug cle tire Provisional cives nlace to the Permanent ov?fiment. After a series of successes and victO-Heswhich covered our .firms with glory, we haveyrecently met with serious disasters.

This is one third at -feast of our entire number of available men, alfihat could be drafted by the Ordinance proposed;.; It is a beautiful season of the year now .for some of our officers who have heretofore been sotfery pregnant with patriotism to show to their beloved country that they have Deen really and truly, and are still true patriots, by re-enlist-ihg as privates. - If they have any merit in them, an(! are qualified in every way "to lead men into baty-e, they will iri nin chances to one be I reelectef. If thev are not in everv p.nvial fit subjects fr officers, how noble wou it be in toem "ta buckle pn their whole armor," and walk int "the ranks. .The country would see and know th-n that the fire f true patriotism was still burning in their hearts. If they are unwil ling to pij off their fine clothes, and descend omewh-i5 in the scale of position, if there's any i iru'n,in pjgic, mey are no patriots, but precisely the revert. It takes a good private to make a good j Captain. A good officer cannot be manufactured oa't of a sirry soldier. An officer, therefore, who I is-wil iag- to serve his country only as an officer, has n'one,-sf the trae Soldier about him, and con- sequei.tlyjcannot be trusted in the field, or out of it. It id In lndisnutabla fact, that thfm r cer&now the Confederate and State service wto are Vitally incompetent, and a disgrace to the country. Money only has lured them away ftjirt theif homes.
