1 "Gentlemen, 70U arc aware that while I was
obliged to stop the progress of the French and
' . Austrian?, Prince Charles, -t?f Lothringcn, has
V succeeded in taking Senwelrid.tz, beating the
Duke of Bavafia, ancf ra making himself masteW-of
Breslau; the capital of my Silesia, aDd a
"% part of the province, are thu-s lost, together
with all the provisions and ammunition thcrgn
.contained, and my troubles wouid be' very
great, if I placed not an imbonnded confidence,
' ' In yonr couAge, firmness .and Ioyei of vpur
cuumry, vyiiuu yuu uuvu suuvhi i on bo many.:
occasions^ > * * . . '
k" ' I acknowledge these services rendered to our
fatherland, and to me, >v,ith the ten'dcrest emotions
of my heart. ' f
x There is almost not one among you who has
not distinguished himself by some great and
i honorable deed; therefore, I -flatter myself'
you will fall short in nothing which ih? State
has a right to expect of your valor, if circum,
stances demand it. This. epdch approaches. I
should believe, J. had done nothing, if I left tfte
Austrians in possession'of Silesia; mark, therefore,
I shall attack the army ofPriroe Charles
although nearly three times stronger,, where, #ver
I find it, and in opposition to all the rules
of the art'of war. . . * '
this juncture,''Ahe.number of the enemy
is. not the question, nor the importance .of bis
. position; for alhthis,X hope the strong hearts
of- my army, and the exact obedience to
"s miy orders, wilj overcome. I must venture this
.blow, or everything is lost; we mhst annihilate
the enemy, or his batteries will bury us. "Thus
' * I intend to '4Ct. 'Commudicafcc my orders to
all the officers in the army, and prepare the '
. priyates fa:Ahe work which must soon' follow
* . ?informing them "that I condsider myself en?
titled.to unconditional discipline.
However, if you remember' that you are
,y Prussians, j'ou^ll certainly raalye joufselves
. j.;. ' worthy of this^preference. If there should be
tme.among you who fears to divide with me all
the danger, he can obtain his dismission to
day, and without receiving from me {ho least
reproach.' [We follow your Majesty unto
death-l . Our,all and our blood for our King!
; ^called oat aloud the officers, and the Kin'g
proeeeds: . .
* - Before now, I was convinced that none of 1
yon would forsake me. I count, therefore, totelly,
on yonr ftithful atsistance^ and ofi..tbe "1
certain Tictoiji Sh*mld I fall, and not be 1
able.to reward yon, our fatherland mu?t' do it. <
Go, now, into the Catop, and repeat to your 1
battalions whatI have said. If any regiment I

A Yankee Raid Through .the upper Districts.?
We learn from, a friend just returned from North
Carolina via: Anclerson C. H., that a portion of
Stoneman'S command, about 2,000 strong, including
jleserters and bushwhackers, made a raid through 1
Spartanburg, Union, Abbeville'atid Anderson districts, <
?the. Court House the latier named district being (
visited.on last Tuesday week. They are said tohnv0
sacked-the .village of Anderson as did TSiiemian the <
town of Camden. Whilst advancing on the town, i
ana near Williamston, they sent out a detachment of
15 men, who surprised and captured the train of car^ '
then approaching, and running on schedule time. Tlie 1
train was fired into and stopped, when the pltiuder of
valuables, watches <fcc., commenced, aud tlie *pi\ssen- j
gers^who Jailed to make their clearance through the | woods,
were made to fork over liberally. The offi- ' <
cers of the railroad, consisting of the superintendent, ! 1
J. B. Lasall; conductor Walsii'; baggage-master i
Brazil ; and engineer Lvoxs?also iho postmaster of I
Newberry, were all captured and marched to Andey- (
son C. H. The raiders pretended to know nothing of *
the con /eutjon oM-rens. Johnston. and Sherman;? ,1
On entering the town they surrounded a]J theinhabi- I
tants, and the men wore confined in'tlio Court House, 11
until the Yankees had finished their work of plunder. ! I

Later from Charleston.
? c
A? visitor in this cityust'from Charleston,
tells us that General Sherman. was in that city
on Thursday last. Sncli, at * all .events, was
the statement of the Conner., lie Imd also
been at Hilton Head for a few days. lie
left tlie.preci.net immediately after, and dins
probably gone to Washington. The /eport in
Charleston was that Gen. Kirby Sjuiith- had
surrendered his troops in the Trpiis>\lissi-sippi_
District. vThe-*D eg roes have he.cn "Shipped
from Charleston to the islands. The lands
have been sub-divided among them?thirty
racrcs.being given to each head of a; family.?
To the overseers (whites) they allot, ono half
of the produce, a fact which no doubt encourages
Ouffec to great performances. "The city
was in a state or starvation at uie tipie or tncir
removal ; the rice had j^iv'evi out, and the philanthropy
of Yankeedom did-pot com template
gratefully the filling of idle and hungry
mouths. We arc also told that ex-Uov. Aiken
was arrested last week and skipped instantly
to -Washington?the cause*f?f his arrest. i3 not
known or -conjectured. Our informant also
tells us that hostilities stfl! go an; that no u'oticc
ft taken of any revival of the armistice;
hut we think it likely that there is. some mistake
hi'this. At" all events, we are advised of
no fresh increments of the enemy.? Columbia
