dot prepared; torch nardships, .exposure ana
fastings tbe army has .encountered since it left the;
Rappahanocky and, ttke many a seasoned cam-
signer! have had to ."fall out wj the way.?' In-;
eeayi can recall no parallel -instance in history;
tlcept Napoleon's disastrous, retreat from -Moscow,
where an army has ever done more march-;
log and fighting, under such great disadvantages,
than Qen. Lee's has dona -since it left the banks'
pf James river. . It proceeded Erectly to the liner
jof the Rappahannock, and moving out from that
jriver; it fought ijs way to the. Potomac, crossed
jtbe stream, and moved on to Fredericktown and
iBagerstown, had a heavy engagement at Boons
looiro' Gap, another at Crampton Gapbelow,
fought the greatest pitched battle of the-war at
Sharpeburg, and then recrossed the Potomac
back into Virginia.- Daring all this time,, cover
ing the full space of a month, the troops rested
but four days 1 And let it always be remember
ed to their honor, that of the men who perform
d this 'wonderful feat; one fifth of them were
barefooted, one-half of them in rags, and the
whole of 'them- half famished. The country from
tire Rappahannock to the Potomac had been vis,
ited by the enemy- with fire and s word, and our
transportation was Insufficient to keep the array
supplied i from so distant a base as Gordons
vllle; and when the provision trains would over
take the army, so pressing were the exigencies of
their position, the men seldom had time to cook.
Their difficulties were increased by the fact that
their cooking utensils; in many cases, had been
left behind, as well as everything else that would
impede their movements. It was not unusual to
see a company of starving men have a barrel of
dour distributed to them, which it was utterly
impossible for them to convert into bread, with
?the means and the time allowed to them. They
could: not procure -even a piece. -of plank or a
corn or flpur sack, upon which to work up their
dough.
Do you wonder, then, that there should have
been stragglers from the army ? That brave and
true men should have . I alien out ot line irom
Sheer exhaustion, or their efforts to obtain a
mouthful to eat along the roadside ? Or that many
seasoned veterans, the conquerors in the Valley,
kt Richmond and Manaasas, should have suc
cumbed to disease and been forced back to the
hospital ? I look to hear a great outcry raised
against the stragglers. Already lazy cavalry
men and dainty staff officers and quartermasters,
who are mounted and can forage the country
fbr'6omething to eat, are condemning the weary
privates, who, notwithstanding nis body mayTe
covered with dust and perspiration, and his feet
with stone bruises, is expected' to trudge along
under his knapsack and cartridge box, on an
empty stomach, and never to turn aside for a
morsel of food to sustain his sinking limbs. (Jut
' upon such monstrous injustice ! That there has
been unnecessary straggling, is readily admitted ;
but in a large majority of cases, the men have
only to point to their bleeding feet, tattered gar
ments and gaunt frames for an answer to the un
just charge.
.No army on this continent has ever accomplish
ed as much or suffered as much, as the army of
Northern Virginia within the last three months.
At no period during the first Revolutionary war
not even at Valley Forge did out forefathers in
arms encounter greater hardships, or endure them
more uncomplainingly.
.but great as have been the trials to which the
army has been subjected, tbey are hardly worthy
to be named in companion with the Batterings
in store for it this winter, unless the people of the
Confederate States, everywhere and in whatever
circumstances, come to its immediate relief.
The man must have clothing and shoes this
winUr. They must have something' -to cover
themselves when sleeping, and to protect them
selves frdfn the driving sleet and snow storms
when on duty. This must be done, though our
friends at home should Lave to wear cotton and

tempest and the dangers of the night. He suffers

has written down his patriotism in crimson

It is not necessary to counsel violent measure?,
but it is not expected that any person will be
permitted to accumulate leather and cloth for
purposes of speculation.- The necessities of the
army rise up like a mountain, aDd cannot,and will
not be overlooked, it was hoped, at one time,
that we might obtain winter supplios in Maryland,
This hope was born after thearmy left Richmond,
and has now miserably perished. The Govern
ment is unable to turnisn the supplies : for they
are not to be had in the country. If it had exer
cised alittle foresight last spring and summer when
vessel's were running the blockade, with cargoes of
calico, linen, and other articles of like importance,
a partial supply, at least, of hats, blankets, shoes.
and woolen goods, might have been obtained from

INTERESTING FROM TENNESSElp,
HON..T. A.B.'NELSON ABANDONS UNI-
ONIsk,AND DENOUNCES LINCOLN 'S
"EMANCIPATION-PROCLAMATION.
-Hon. T. A. B. Nelson, of Tennessee, who has
been a firm supporter f the Lincoln Government
since the war commenced, and who, according to
the Knoxville Register exercised "a boundless
influence over the people of East Tennesaee," .
publishes an address to thsr people of that section,
denoincing the 'emancipation proclamation of
Lincoln, and urging the people to arm for resis
tance to its execution. He says:
The paramount causes which have controlled
and influenced my conduct and opinions' were
love for the Union and an unshaken confidence
that we had the best Constitution and Govern
ment in the world. But, of all the acts of despot
ism of which the civil war in which we are now
engaged has been the prolific source; there is not
one which, in the slightest degree, equals the atro
city and barbarism of Mr. Lincoln's proclamation.
At one blow it deprives all the citizens of the
slave states, without distinction, of the right to
hold slaves; a right guaranteed by the very Con
stitution -he pretends to uphold. It is true be
makes an intimation that he will recommend to
Congress to provide just compensation to Union
masters in the slave States, but what right has
he, or the government ofthe United States, to de
prive them of this property without their consent?
And what assurance have they that his vague and
general intimation will Da applied to- them, or
that an abolition congress reeKing with tne
blood ot the south, and jubilant in the possession
of- usurped power, will adopt his recommenda
tion ?
We are in the midst of a sea of dAJmilties.
Many acts have been done in the South to which
we were bitterly opposed as a people, ami which
we who have adhered to the Union inipfte of pe
rils and dangers, could not justify or palliate.
But the Union men of .bast Tennessee are not
now ami never were aooiiuonists. a ne union
men of east Tennessee are not now and never have
been committed to tbe doctrines of incendiarism
and murder to which Mr. Lincoln's proclamation
leads. What, then, is the path Of duty in the
trying circumstances which surround ua ? Is it
to belie all our past professions and sustain Mr.
Lincoln's administration, right or wrong ? Is it
to justify a man whom we had no agency in
elevating to power, and not only in abandoning
the Constitution of the United States, but in.re
pudiating the Chicago. platform, his inaugural ad
dress and messages to Congress in which the ab
solute right to slavery in theStates where it exist
was distinctly and unequivocally conceded : Or,
i it, in view of his many violation of the
Constitution, and this crowning act of usurpation,
to join tnat side which at present anords the on
ly earthly hope of successful resistance ?
I am aware, my countrymen, that you will find
difficulties in bringing your minds to the same
conclusion at which my own has arrived. Many
wanton and unauthorized acts of cruelty and op
pression have been perpetrated among you, which
instead of changing your opinion?, have only
besn calculated to aggravate and intensify a he
roic principle of endurance. Manyv of these acts
have been commit led in remote places, without
the knowledge of approbation of the authorities
at BichmoDd, or of those-who have held the su
preme command in East Tennessee, and under
such circumstances that you have felt it danger
ous to complain. Gradually and lowly these
outrages have at last become known, and in the
very recent proQlamation issued by Maj Gen.
Jones you have the assurance that .your com
plaints will be heard, and the most ' energetic
measures adopted to remedy the evils to which
you have been subjected.
Let not, then a sense of private and present
wrongs blind you against the enormities already
perpetrated and still more seriously contem
plated, by Mr. Lincoln's administration. If a
majority of the Republican party have been sin
cere in their professions of a determination to -respect
the right of slavery in the States, and if
the light of freedom is qot utterly extinguished
in the North may we not hope that a spirit of
resistance will be aroused in that section, which,
combined with the efforts ofthe South, will hurl
Mr. Lincoln from power, and even yet restore
pease and harmony to our distracted and divided
country ? But, if through fear,or any other cause,
Mr. Lincoln's famous proclamation is sustained,
then we have no Union to hope for, no Constitu
tion to struggle for, no magnificent and unbroken
heritage to maintain, no peace to expect, Bave
uch as, with the blessing of Providence, we may
conquer. The armies which have been Bent near
you to tantalize you with hope have been with
drawn, and, with cool audacity, Mr. Lincoln vir
tually tells you that you have no rights. No al
ternative remains but to choose the destiny which
an arrogant and unprincipled Administration
forces upon ue.
.It is almost unnecessary to declare to you that
I adhered to the Union amidst good report and
evil report, suffering, and danger, while it was in
my power to support it, and that when my efforts
were paralyzed and my oico silenced by causes
beyond my control, I have cherished the hope
that all might be well; but "the last link is bro
ken" that bound me to the Government for which
mv ancestors fought, and, wht8OT may bo th
course of others,! shall feel it my duty to encour
a?e the most persevering and determined resis
tance against the tyrants and usurpers of the Fed
eral Administration, wno nave blasted our
hopes and are cruelly seeking to destroy the last
vestige of freedom among us. If you would save
yourselves from a species of carnage unexampled
clly invited in Mr. Lincoln's proclamation, let
every man who is able DucKie on nis armor, ana,

swift nor the battle to the strong, and it cannot
in the nature of; things, be possible that a just
God will prosper the efforts - ot a Government
which has hypocritically pretended to wage war
in behalf of the Constitution, but now throws off
the mask and sets it utterly at defiance.
No desixt in EuroDe would dare to ex ercise the
powers which Mr. Lincolnin less than two brief
vears, has Doidiy usurped, ne naB suspenaea me

barons of England wrested; by force from
King John, and inserted in the great charter of
British reedom a right which it caused centu
ries of contest jto engraft upon the British Con
stitution a Hght for which jour fathers sternly
struggled, an which is incorporated in every
American Constitution. He mis called armies in
to the field Without authority, according: to his
own acknowledgment, and has become a mili
tary Dictator; ' He now claims the prerogative
to abolish slavery without out consent, and if he
can thus "take our negroes, why may be not take
our lands and everything else we possess, and re
duce us to a state of Vassalage to which no parallel
can be found save in the history of the Middle

, MATION IN KENTUCKY.
: We hava from Various' sourx ofvlc Sn tba
North the rnost interestinit account of the effect
of Lincoln?! proclimation in Kentucky . "While
wus prociamauon uaa scarcely prouueeu vo.ni
per in Maryland, it seems to bave exerted in Ken
tucky a 'sentiment of indignation, which attests
more than anything else the politicaf sympathies'
of that State, and which has extorted a confession!
from the Northern press that Kentucky -has no
longer - lot or part in "the great and beneficent
government or Abrahanj Lincoln. All patriots
of the South' will rejoice at these indication, of
spirit and .virtue In Kentucky, so honourably
distinguished from manifestations in other quar
ters, where, the South' had expected countenance
and sympathy, of unlimited submission to the
behests of the Yankee government.
The New York TnbtMe remarks with point
.that the North has already had sufficient demon
strations of the"toyalty"of Kentucky in what has
occurred during the John Morgan raid and the
present invasions. It tays 11 when a fight is to be
made for the capital of Kentucky, w'e hear of but
oner Kentucky regiment in the "Union line of
battle,"
" A correspondent of this same Tribune, writing
from Louisville, says that the President's procla
mation has produced In Kentucky the umost in
tense consternation," that it Is denoun&ed in all
quarters; and that the presence of the Federal
troops alone Btifles'the expressions of dissatisfac
tion. . 1 ' '
Even the Louisville Journal is found in the
ranks of the opposition to this proclamation of
Abraham Lincoln, and denounces it in a tone of
tragic desperation. It says : "Kentucky can
not and will not . acquiesce in this measure
never."
-' These manifestations of sentiment in Kentucky
indicate with force that a blunder has been made
in this proclamation of Lincoln, which every day
grows in its catastrophe; they imply the most im
portant consequences; and they assure the South
of what has been bnly a little time doubtful the
real attachment of Kentucky to the institutions,
fortunes and destiny of the Confederacy-. '
