REP?HTS OF PHBSS ASSOCIATION. ' Entered ?ccordingto ? ct of Congress, in t/u Year 18?, by J. &. Thrasher, ih the Clerk's ()fic?of the District Court of the Confederate Slates for the Northan District of Georgia Address of President Davis, i DANVILLE, April 5.-The i'resident issued sn address this morning to the people, in which bs ssys the General-in-Chief found it necesiary to make such movements bf,the troops ss to un ?Veer the capital. It would-be an wise to eon . ?eal the moral and materia' injury to our canse resoltiBg from the occupation ot the capital by the enemy; it is equally unwise and unworthy of ns to allow our own energies to falter or um efforts to become relaxed under reverses, how aver calamitous. For many months the finest army of the Confederacy* under the c?uimaiK of a leader whose pr?sense inspires equal cou fidence in th? troops and people, has beec greatly trammelled by the necessity of keeping sonstaut watch over th? approaches io rbi capital, and has thus been forced to for^gi more than one opportunity for#-promisin^ en tei prise. It ia for us, my countrymen, ta shot1 by ?ur bearing under reverses how wretehei bas been thaj-.seli-denial of those who h av found us less able to eudure misfortune wit fortitude than to encounter dangar with cou rage. We have now eniered upon a new phas of the struggle; relieved from the neeeEsny i , guarding particular points, our army witt b trae to move from point to point and whip th enemy in detail far from his base. Let us bi; will it, and we are free. Animated by tin confidence in your ?pint and fortitude- whic never yet failed me, 1 anni unce to you, fellov countrymen, that it is my purpose to mam tai {our cause with my win le heart and soul th will never consent to abandon lo the men. one foot et the soil of any one of the Mmes the Confederacy. That nonie s?tate, whose a ciei:t renown lias been eclipsed by lier St: more jjlq/ioua.rec. nt history-whose bosom h been bared lo receive the main shocks ot th war-whose sons and daughters have exhibit heroism so subbme as to render herHlustf io }"n all tiree lo come-that Virginia, with tl iel|) of the people and by the blessing of Pi vidi ace, shall be held and defended, aud i peace ev?r bc made with the infamous invade of her homes, by the sacrifice of any of h rights or territory. If ?ty superiority of nui hers we should ever be .compelled to aband or withdraw from her lines, or those of a other border Slate, "train and awaiti will return, Until the h..fil d and exhausted ruftrl shall abandon in d<-M|Mir mseudhas .ina luipi sibie iii-k of making slaves of people re?oiv to ba Ires.
