It was given for the hire of Phil and Charles for the year 18<>1. E. W. BONNEY. December 20 To tlie 1'eoplc of 011, and we will not recount them. To some important tacts we call your attention. First. The moderation of our (iovernmeiit i and the fanatical madness of our enemies have ; dispersed all differences of opinion among our people, and united them forever in the war of independence. In a few border States a waning opposition is giving way before the stern logic of daily developing faces. The world's history does not give a parallel instance of a revolution based upon such unanimity among the people. j Second. Our enemy has exhibited an oner- ! gy, a peiseverance and an amount of resources I which we had hardly expected, and a disro- : ?*ard of constitution and laws which we can ! hardly credit. The result of both, however, is | that power which is the characteristic element of despotism, and renders it a* formidable to its enemies as it is destructive to its subjects. Third. An immense army has been organized for our destruction, which i* being disciplined to the unthinking stolidity of regulars. With the exclusive possession of the seas, our enemy is enabled to throw upon the shores of every State the nucleus of an army. And the threat is made, and doubtless the attempt will follow in early spring to crush us with a giant's grasp bv a simultaneous movement along our borders* Fourth. W ith whatever alacrity our people may rush fo arms, and with whatever energy our (ioveriiment may use its resources, we can not expect to cope with our enemy cither in numbers, equipments or munitions of war. To provide against these odds, we must look to desperate courage, unflinching daring and uuiiwrsul sef/'-sacrificc. Fifth. The prospect of foreign interference is, at least, a remote one, and should not be re" lied on. If it comes, let it only be auxillcry to our own preparations for freedom. To our God and ourselves alone we should look. These are stern facts, perhaps some of them arc unpalatable. Hut we arc deceicvcd in you if you would have us to conceal them in order to dcccievc you. The only question for us and for you is, as a nation and individually, what have we to do? We answer: First. As a nation, we should be united, forbearing to one another, frowning upon all factious opposition and censorious criticisms, and giving a trustful and generous confidence to those selected as our leaders in the cainp and the council chamber. Second. We should excite every nerve and strain every muscle of the body politic to maintain our financial and military healthfulness, and, by rapid aggressive action, make our enemies feel, at their own firesides, the horrors of war brought on by themselves. The more important matter for you, however, is your individual duty. What can you do? rm / - . ' . i i nc iool oi me oppressor is on tlic soil of Georgia. He cCunes with lust in his eyes, poverty in his purse, and hell in his heart, lie comes a robber and a murderer. IIow shall you meet him 1 With the sword at the thrcs hold. With death for him or yourself. But, more than this?let every woman have a torch, every child a fire brand. Let the loved homes of our youth he made ashes, and the fields of our heritage l?e made desolate. Let blackness and ruin mark your departing steps, if depart yon must, and let a desert more terrible than Sahara welcome the Vandals. Let every city be levelled bv the flame and every village be W J o lost in ashes. Let your faithful slave, share i T-rmr f.wtnnn ~..-l * _ '-f i j ?>n luiiuiiu t?uu >um uniMt. inibi who ana children to the sure refuge and protection of God?preferring even for their loved ones the charnal-housc as a home than loathsome vassalage to a nation already sunk below the contempt of the civilized world. This may be your terrible choice, and determine at once and without dissent as honor and patriotism and duty to God require. Fellow-Citizens : Lull not yourselves into a fata! security, lie prepared for every contingency. This is our only hope for a sure and honorable peace. If our enemy was to-day convinced that the least herein indicated would welcome him in every quarter of this Confederacy. we know his base character well enough to feel assured he would never come. Let then, the smoke of your homes, fired, by woman's hands, tell the approaching foe, that over sword and bayonet they will rush only to tire and ruin. We have faith in God and faith in you. He is blind to every indication of Providence who lias not seen an Almighty hand controlling the O y O events of the past year. The wind?the wave ?the cloud?the mist?the sunshine, and the storm have all ministered to our necessities, and frequently secured us in t^ir distresses. W e deem it unnecessary to recount the numerous instances which have called forth our ! gratitude. We would join you in thanksgiving ' and praise, "if God be for us, who can be I nirninct nc Nor would we condemn your confident look to our armies, when they can meet with a foe not too greatly their superior in numbers. The year past tells a story of heroism and success, of which our nation will never be ashamed. These considerations, however, should onlv stimulate us to greater deeds and nobler efforts. An occasional reverse we must expect?such as has depressed us within the last few days. This is only temporary. We have no fears of the result?the final issue. Von and we may have to sacrifice our lives and fortunes in the holy cause ; but our honor will ho smvim! nnfui'n!J.n.l .....1 ? ... ...OIIVU, illlU O III children's children will rise up and call us "blessed." HOWELL COBB, It. TOMBS, M. J. CRAWFORD. THOS. IT R. COBB. Enquirer. Gen. Lee and the Army of tiie Coast.? The Richmond Dispatch, of Tuesday, says: " We are glad to hear that the army of Gen. Lee, in South Carolina, is in a state of efficiency, and in numbers and discipline highly satisfactory to that distinguished officer. Gen.
