Is !nt this a warning to such perBOcs of the danger iof giving up when the public prospects are dark ered and lowering clouds threaten? We hope it may be .heeded and improved upon. The gloom ier the hour of a people's fate, the more call la there for fortitude and courage to oreasi ana resisi ! adverse fortune. We are not worthy of freedom ;and independence if we are not equal to this, and 'nothing is more certain than that a wise Provi idence, working by fixed laws on the destinies of inations.will never so shape events as to confer in jddpendence on a people; un worthy of it. Nothing bits ever alarmed us io the contemplation of the (filial result of the struggle, except the conduct of jdtf8pondent and frightened people. In the spread of; this fooling to the masses of the ConfoJ acy lies our only danger. ; jSfieculators may pray upon the people, blockado rtiii'ners may play wild with our currency, andjwe may yet maintain thv fight to the glorious end Hat croakors are out deadliest enemiee, for they j)jrcad a moral contagion which unmans and emasculates the public mind, and does more to suibjugate us than all the armies of Lincoln. If tbiey must tremble, for God's sake lot .them retire tci'the shade of night or th solitudes of their chambers to do it. Lot them forbear to show their; loby and ill-omoned countenancert to the faces" of a i people encaged' in a struggloso saorod and so fear jfui as this. Falsied bo tho coward tougue that j.-iwys yield, or prates ot poaco and reconstruction, iarid saving of property. There u no safety, no p'joporty, no civic liberty or personal honor for ;aDy Southern man or woman that does not lie along tho path made bloody and bril'iant by the nciints of tho bayonets of a people who have sworn tluey will not owa Yankees for masters, and be jcbkne tiie serfs and' vaisals or the viper brood of Puritans in religion ajid Abolitionist- in politic. ;Tho croaker, we say, is the deadliest enemy of the 'caiistf, the most eloquent auxiliary of our lues. Frown him down as one already subjugated and irtiidy lor trie Yankee yoke. Avoid him as yi-u woulfl a pestilence. And to them tmVword, and we shame to say it, is tj.be addressed to here and thiere a man who ought -to be a leader and a bea- cdn to the people in this struggle Beware lst yei yteld tjo suon, lest hope desert j'ou and leave you a wreck prematurely stranded on the beech of ibis igrjeat revolution, while its tumultuous waves still 'fvill grandly on in triumph, success and mdepen ;dince. This revolution cannot tail if tbe.people i Ajll ii to succeed. If they have the courage to 'giji through with It, the guerdon of freedom1 awaits "titeru at the end of a struggle that cannot, in the nature of things, be much longer protracted. We-jh-ive to cause the erowti ot freedom or the whip uf ihH.rnaUer. Choose ye ! . : We call upon the uea of Mississippi's.) lately ,tttreatened and so uaexpectodly reprieved from jthie menaced danger, to use tho breathing spell al- djiwed mem, and gird i)p their loins for the defence their Stave. Join the -arms you have at home toi those il' Gen. Johnson, and without the help ;oii another Confederate soldier you can not only defend but redeem your State. The same may he Isaid vf Alabama wid Georgia. Flock to Bragg'a (standard and you can drive liosencrans from your borders. There is no doubt of this. Wo are in ithie cri-ii of the war at a turning point when every man belonging to the army should be at his po;t, or failing to go, be driven there by the force, "tjpuhiic opinion, the entreaties of friends and the sci. t;! il liowns of women. Wo ace at a point wjieli the (.'on lode-racy should throw its whole fighting l'jrcu into thd li?lj to turn the scale of libit) present eamptaign in our favor. That done, ,'i.liie.re ar-j a hundred reasons to believe that the war jv.jll bj , titnaliy ended. Lincoln ran put no more oiijiui.'s. in the held his present forces are melting jaiiay, and by a united effort on our pad can be jswept from the land. It Lincoln fails in this k'umpaign,. revolution will spring upon him at h-jinie, and we can be spectators of a civil war tpar Hiijg the vitais of our enemies, i , For the present the tide of war has turned to tbe Kii-t. We btliwve that Grant's army is being uiMved ti N'irginia, in the beliefand the true be-, intf) that; 'irginia is the backbone of tbe Confed eracy, and that with Lee's army beaten, and Vir ginia occupied, the war will be at an end. I t may : fjS, and if ,nw looks like it, that the great and fi ;nl battli) will crimson the soil of the dear, noble iarjd brave Old Dominion, an j that tho whole of jo'jjr moveable force may bj called there to meet tun grand onrUught of" the combined armies of thb un- niy. We hope the Government at Hich impnd ji :,wake to such a contingency. From a i'jai ter ol a million of Confederate soldiers, under jsuih b-aktoas Lee, J ounston, Bragg and Beaure jgiitrd, v-V'.'., the 'North caai.ot muster the masses, jv)i';, in l'eriin iiumbel-s, to ravibh a victory. But jjoUo v, hat will let what may be wrapped in the wumiu ol the tuture lor u there is hut FILL UP THE BANKS. We have reached the crisis of the war. The blows that are to be struck during the .next thirty days will be likely to have a very iropor tant'influence in -determining the tuture of these Confederate States.! It is a time when every soldier of the Southern army should be at his post." The heavy work of the late campaign has left great gaps in the ranks, which must be filled and filled at once. The country calls for every man capable of beariog .arms to shoulder his musket and to bear hia part in the common struggle. Let there be no skulkers in this great emergency. Let each man act as if the s&fety of the cause rested upon bis own individual ef forts, and there is good ground for the confidence we shall yet safely pass through the perils which beset us. - The duty of the conscript officers, at this junc ture,' is one of the; last importance. Upon the intelligence, rigor and promptitude with which they discharge that duty, depends, in great degree, the strengthening of; our forces in the field. Wo trust that no laxity nor undue delay on their part will thwart the intentions of the Government in inaugurating the conscription and disappoint the people, who have come to regard that meamre as the she,et anchor of their hope. Charleston Mercury. Two gentlemen-from Canton, communicate the following instance of Yankee barbarity to the edi tor of the Montgomery Mail : Mrs. M. K. Fort was a lady sixty-five years of age, of the highest respectability, and supposed to be worth some forty thousand dollars. She was visiting the house of ariend six miles south of Canton, some two weeks ago, when some Yankee officers, hearing of her wealth and bolieving that she had g jne to the country for the purpose of hiding money, went, with a gang of negroes, to the house at 2 o'clock a. m., took her out of bed, and whipped her until 6 o'clock lour hours to make her tell where her money could be found. T She had no money, jand of course cwuld not satisfy the savages. Th wretched lady died under the torture of the lasli. .

After more than two years, of a warfare scareely equalled in the number, magnitude, and fearful Car nage of its battles j a warfare in which your courage and foriitude have illustrated your country, and at tracted not only gratitude at home, but admiration abroad l -your enemies continue a struggle in which our finartriumph must be inevitable. Unduly elated with their recent successes, they imagine' that tempo rary reverses can quell your spirit or shake your de termination, and they are now gathering heavy mass- s for a general invasion, in the vain hope that, by a desperate effort, success may at length be reached. You know too well, my countrymen, what they mean by success. Their malignant rage aims at noth ing less than the extermination of yourselves, your wives, and children. They seek to destroy what they cannot plunder. They propose as the spoils of v;c tory, that your homes shall be partitioned among the wretches whose atrocious cruelties have stamped infa my on their Government. They design to incite ser vile insurrection and to light the fires of jncondiarlsm wherever they can reach your. homSs, and they de bauch the inferior race, hitherto docile and contented, by promising indulgence of the vilest passions as the price of treachery. Conscious of their inability to prevail by legitimate warfare, not dating to make peace lest they should be hurled from their scats of power, the men who now rule-in Washington refuse even to confer on the subject of putting a-n end to outrages which lisgrace our age, or listen to a sugges tion lor conducting the war according to the usages of civilization. ' ,.: Fellow-citizens no Alternative is left you but victo ry, or subjugation, slavery and the utter ruin of your selves, your families arid your country. The victory is within your reach. You need but stretch forth your hands to grasp it. For this end, all that is ne cessary is, that taosa who are called to the held by every motive that can move the human heart, should promptly repair to the post of duty, should stand by their comrades ngw in front of the foe, and thus so strengthen the armies the Confederacy as to ensure success. The men now absent from their posts would, if present in the field, suffice to create numerical equal ity between our force and that of-the invaders and when, with any approach to such equality, have we failed to be victorious '! I believe that but few of those absent are actuated by unwillingness to serve their country ; but that many have found it difficult to resist the temptation of a visit to their homes and the loved ones from whom they have, been so long separated ; that others have, left for temporary atten tion to tkei affairs, with the intention of returning, and then have shrunk frem the consequences of their violation vrf duty; th;t others, again, have left their posts from mere rastlessness and desire of change,, each quieting the upbraidinga of his conscience, by persuading hiuiself that his individual services could have no influence on the general result. These and other causes (although far less disgrace ful than the desire to avoid danger, or to escape from the sacrifices required by patriotism,) are, neverthe less, grievous faults, and place the cause of our be loved country, and of everything we hold dear, in imminent peril. I repeat that the men who now owe duty to their country, who have been called out and have not yet reported for duty, or who have absented themselves from their posts, ajre sufficient in number to secure us victory in the struggle now impending. I call on you, then, my countrymen, to hasten to your camps, in obedience to the dictates of honor and of duty, and summon those who have absented them selves without leave, or who have remained absent beyond the period allowed by their furloughs, to re pair without delay to their respective commands, and I do hereby declare that I grant a general pardon and amnesty to afl officers and men. witlain the Con federacy, now absent without leave, who shall, with the least possible delay, return t j their proper posts of duty ; but no excuse shall be received for any de lay beyond twenty days after the first publication of this proclamation in the State in which the absentee, may be at the date of the publication. This amnesty and pardon shall extend to all who have been accused, or who have been convicted and are undergoing sen tence for absence without leave or desertion, except ing only those who haVn been twice convicted of de sertion. ' Finally, I conjure uiy couutrywomen the wives, mothers, sisters and daughters of the Confede to. Uiair aJUpoLwe'-ful influencoiu aid of this call, to add one crowning sacrifice to those which their patriotism has so freely and constantly offered .on their country's altar, and to take care that no one who owes service in the. field shall be sheltered at home from the disgrace od' paving deserted their duty to their families, to their country, and to their God. f ' -s "I Given under my hand,aud tho Seal of SEAL. the Confederate States, at Richmond, this ' ( - ' J 1st day of August, in the year of our Lord oue thousand eight hunjied and sixty-three.

GENERAL ORDERS, ; No. 17. j FN ACCORDANCE VITI1 THE ABOVE X proclamation of amnegty and pardou by the Pres ident, an earnest invitation is. extended Xo all persons absent without leave from the army, t") report them selves at the Camp of Instructions immediately, to be forwarded to their regiuents. All good citizens are instructed to use every means in their power to pre-' vail upon persons of the, class aamed to return to their duty. They will be well treated and past offences forgotten. Transportation will be furnished to their commands. But it must be distinctly understood that after the expiration of the time f et by the President, the most vigorous measures in the power of the government will be instituted for the arrest and puaishment of all ' absent from their commands without leave.
