JEKFEBSOX DAVIS. By the.Presidcnt : . 'J. P. BENJAMIN, Secretary of State. "The Way?oldiers are Discouraged. Enrroas APPEAL : You will will please, JH mit me to use a small space of "our paper give the public a few items of tho. quicke and best, method of disheartening those w] are still 'willing to fight for the redemption "our beloved country: Oa the*Oth ef the present month, our litt hand was relieved from duty with the aro of Tennessee,.and ordered to report to Gt eral Forrest. All through the catnpaigu ? North Georgia, " high spirita,.. hope, determ nation prevailed, and when wo. bid farewe lo old ccmirades inarms, tbn-e rouiing cheei were giveaagtun and again, lo indicate ti hearty determination to stand by each ot he io the last." We- had confidence in each tKh er, nnd everything looked bright and easy. "On the. esr-S thc whistle blows," ur\<t ol we goethe old battle flag with seventeen field: of carnage engraved upon its folds floating in the breeze. .All are cheerful; we are no whipped, though Atlanta has fallen. Si much for the army, where all are Jioge?ii Soon-'arrived at Griffin, - where evidences ?> confusion begin to nppear. On to Macon and arriving there you know nothing, mon un til you get away. The confusion of Babei Was a mere cypher. No one having the in terest of the country at heart c?u be found " Extortioner of every description throng the houses and streets." Atlanta would have blushed for ?hem at the zenith nf hot* extor tions. A soldier seems to be the only ani mal that receives no attention. - .nurid?da'?f -.th? white linen gentry atv flocking the streets. ..What they are attend ing to, God only kuows. It has from the be ginning bf the war beeu a coestant source ol wonder to "the simple-minded patriot, (whofe whole sondas been engaged in our revol? lion.) how these men avoidthe draft. "Weleft Macon as Bioh aa possible, with the conviction ^gradually creeping over us that wo werabazarding our ljves for a great many wbrthlcBiinen.. Passed through.t'o lumous; the only attractive feature about this city is the number of young men about the railroad depots. They are hardened custo mers. With checks like brass, you may hal loo conscript, Brown's pet, fcc, but it. is no go. He, whi?jis his fob chain, twists his moustache, puts on a look of dazzling cour age, as much as to say, '. JeihV Davis regards thia-os an important posit ic n, and ho !:new his man when he selected me to hold it." A citizen at Chohaw, wishing to encourage our drooling spirits, walks np and down the sido tractij telling to our boys, be of good cheer, ' McClellan will be elected suie, and that he can raise a million of men tu where Abe can one hundred thousand, and that we tire gone vt?, aure. This-man- weira blue pants and whif?. hst, bas brown whiskers, - and -sup posed tckbe, from his general appearance, '. a doctor.*" . .A??fid aWhe.fam?us city of Montgomery, in a dirty aud wearied cordi lion, we felt that W liivd.srrived at the birth-place of the Con federacy, a.id that no croakers, straggles ot men exempt could be found within her walls Alas for'humtSn hopes! Things-haye gone from bad lo worse. I stood u pori thc streets, and, loi a ?ca of human things pass before me. -Where are-thoy from, and whither aro they going? To the front? " No," replied a bright-eyed little fellow, (who will somo day make a general.)." they are. not. That h ig fellow you see tendjng to that store, is. ex empt because he.soperintends the Wayside Home; that other one has a contract for hauling Wood to Grovern ment >bopa;. that-one is the Governor's aid;that one driving' the floe hay-is-a quartermaster;" and that one," ?c., (tc, continued the boy, giving deacrip lions of their f-usines? as each passed before us, until more than double the number of our entire company had passed. . I turned away disheartened and disgusted. The litlc boy inlernjpudme-"say,Mister, you see that old grey headed man "with the linen coat? Well ho told some, soldiers in the' train the other day that if he wa3 or?tof of them on that train, and it wai going right into hell, that he would not jump ol7, for the -Yankees woujd send them all lhere, any how, before thc war was over."
