You know too well, mr countrymen, wbn? they tn?an by success. Their malignant rage ajm.9 ** nothing loss th:Oi the extermination of youteelves, your wives and children. Tiiey ?eek to destroy what they canuot plunder. They propose as the spoils of victory that ': your homos shall be partitioned among th-!

Conscious of their inab:'i;j to prevail by leg't'i uate.-wsrfare, not . daring, to nulty p.'ace lest they shculd . I*; hurled from their seats of power, the men 'wh'"> now rub in Washington refuse even to confer on the subject of puning an end lo outrages which disgrace our age. or to listen to a suggestion for conducting the war acce ding to the usages of civilization. Fellow citizens, no alternative is left you {jPtt- Victory,, or sui jug\tioii, alaYt-ry find the niter nilli qf yourselves, vur tarni Ho* a id your country. The victory is within jour reach. You need but ?tretch forth your lintis to grasp it. For this and a l that is necessary is that those who are called lo the field by every motive that can move tho hu man heart, should promptly repair to the p09t of duty, should stand by 'their comrades n iv" . ja front ol thc foe, and thus so strengthen the arinics ol' the Confederacy as to ensure suc cess. The'roon uowrabsejtit from their post? would, if pre?tet in the fund, suffice to create numerical quality b. tv.een our forje and that of the invaders-and when, with any ap proach to such equality, have we failed to be victo!ious ? I believe that but few of those ' ftbj&nt are actuated by unwillingness lo set re their country ; bert that many have found it difficult to resist the temptation of a visit to their homes and the loved onps from wtiom tk?*y have been so lo:ig separated ; that others have heft-for temporary attention io their Affairs with tlie intention of returning, and then have shrunk frcm the . eousr-quenees of their Twlation of ditty 5 thai others again have left their posts from tu-?re restlessness and de sire oi*-chaiige, each quieiir-g lu.: upbraiding* ?of his conscience, by persuading bi-nself that hts individual services could have hu i?fliienco On ti?l? general result. These and oilier causes (although far less disgraceful than thc desire to avo?J danger, or to escape from the sacrifices required by patriotism,) are, nevertheless, grievous faults, und place the cause of our beloved country, and of everything vrn hold dear, ia imminent peril. I repeat that the mea who now owe fluty tP their ?oupttjlL^jj?Lliavo been called Out a id ?ave not yet rcpor'ed for cinty, t r who have absented themselves frinu their pos*s, are sufficient in number to secure us victory in t l e strugglo now impending. J -all on you then, my countrymen, to has ten to -our camps, in obedience to the dic tates of honor and td duly, and summon those who have'absented themselves without leave, 0Y who have remained absent beyond the pe ri d allowed by their furloughs, to repair wit fa out delay to their respective command?, and 1 do hereby declare that 1 grant a general ' pardon and amnesty to all othceri and men within the Coufede:a^y, now absent without leave, who shall, with the least possible delay return to their proper posl3 of duty, but no' excuso w]U be received for any delny beyond twenty days after the first publication of this procldTuation in the State; in which the ab sented may be at the date rd the publication. This amnesty and pardon shall cxteud to ail who have bega acoused, or who have been convicted and aro undergoing sentence for absence witibui leave, cr desertion, oxcepting only those who have baan twice convicted of j deserti m. Finally, I conjure tny countrywomen-the wivos, mothers, sisters and daughters of the Confederacy-to use their all powerful influ ence in aid of this call, to add one crowning sacrifice to those which their patriotism has a J freely and constantlyoffered on theil coun try's altar, and to tako care that none who owe service in the field shaH he sheltered at home from the disgrace of having deserted their duty to their families, to- their couutry j.nd to their God.

Our readers will remember thneTMr. Anxns, ?. 8. Minister at :.he .Court of St. James, lodged infor mation with tho legal authorities in England some months ago, that a certain ship named tho Alex andra, then being built in an English ship yard, was to ho sold tu the Confederate States. Legal proceedings wero thereupon comnruneed against the buijdejrs of said ship; aud upon trial of the case, .he Court of Admiralty decided that ship builden in England have a ri?ht to build .and soil ships of any description ?to any one who 'wiFhcs to buy. This decision we regard as warth more to 'us than a recognition of our independence hy Great Britain. ' Wc have now the meant in our hands, by the providence of God, of almost utterly annihilating' the mercantile navy of the United States; and If it is not dono in twelve months, lt will be owing to tho tnibeci'ity of our Guitrnment. Iadaed, the contract for the construction ofthose ofciur voirait already under way, ends with this pr?tent month. W? may soon ezpeet to hear of a Navy afloat; and rome of the iron-mailed ships now being built for us in English ship yardi, will bo a mutch for a whole fleet of Yankee wooden walla. Dut we have no fears for a Government which baa been marked by singular ability ; hence we believe that Yankee ships will soon bogie to rot in their docks, and that Yankee cupidity will soon begin to clamer foi peace. According to thia deculon of the Conrt of"Ad miraliy, the Confed?rate Government has a right to purchase from Engliah ship-builders such ships as it needs-without restriction ?ts lo number er quality*-the only restriction being that they must nut put their armaments on board actually in an English port. This deefsion put? the English ship-yards at the service of onr Qovernmant, and opens for'us tho English ports. What more do we want to scourge a base rxce a race of two ideas, 'tho loaves . and the fishes' into their proper seiuos?. Ono thing more, il ir true, is wanting tu build sbjps-namely, th? cash. Herc ?gain the hand of Providence baa provided the cruise of oil. To build and equip these very ships for the Confederacy, English Capitalists loaned our Uotornment last winier fifteen millien dollars, and three times tho amount of stock was subscribed. If our Government uas tho energy, and will put that energy.earnestly to work, we may have afloat by January aFleet which witlswcop every Yaukee merchant ship from the ocean. There can be no exaggeration ia this statement. There are now in the Confederacy four millions of bale? of cot ton; this, at tho present prices, would be worth more than four hundred millions of dollars-and but a fourth of thatamount, with the loan already | effected, will answer all domands. Tho people expect our Rulers to improve this opportunity; delay%nd negligen?e in this matter will bo highly criminal. We have a very confi dent belief, ono founded 'upon the mostwobviona principles, that if our Guverument dues its duty In thia matter, we shall have peace within six months from tho time our navy sails from British ports.Wo see in this facf everything to encourage ns, aud we honusJy halievo that we are stronger to day than we havo been at any period during his war.
