Tho is .most reliable intelligence we can obtain, , and this is based upon dispatches receiv? ed in the very highest military circles, e3 that Sherman's advance was, at last ac . counts^seven miles from Midway. .The position then occupied by the enemy was about 21 miles from Branchville; and car troops were then confronting him. ?^The alarm respecting the obstruction to travel between this place and the west is. therefore, so far as tho past sensation rumors arc concerned, needless. "Whatev? er restriction has been placed upon travel in t'nat direction was tho result of a wise military policy, justified fully in the eyes of our military authorities. aiSherman's plans havo hot been suffi? ciently doveioped as yet, to enable the fowhation of an opinion as to whether his immediate destination is Columbia, Au? gusta, or Charleston. The latter place in-their possession would, in- the eyes of ? all Yankeedom, compensate for any loss which might accrue to tho Federal forces in obtaining it, because of its noble heroic and defiant resistance, successfully main? tained against the most determined and orate sicgo known to history. Au .gusfa in their hands, andthey -would natu? ra ly suppose that tho principal channel of communication with the westwasstop ped up, to say nothing of the nccessity oi* removing government establishments and workshops, to a certain extent nec? essary in the continuance of tho war. Cplumbja/'thc Capitol of South Caroli? na, is a most tempting, prize, and would 'probably excito the energies of a man less entcrprizing than Oon^Sherman*. Action, therefore, is necessary?prompt, decided action. .Let us honor the call of our patriotic Governor, and show our full, 'free and calm determination to meet the esemy wherever he may stl'lke. Our time is short, and the sooner we get our affairs in readiness for tho struggle the better for ns. If Sherman can bo "hurled back from his objective point, wo destroy the effect of his recent successes, and force tho Yanicee Government to Ynf> n^"?-'(y an army like Iiis, flushed'with so ranch of ?congest! -will dishearten the North, an<J. Tve honestly believe, operate to prevent enlistments." To say the least, it will onvc time to perfect such arrangements as will in the future thwart the best plans they can lay for conquering our State. [Guardian, Wi inst.

The Congress of the Confederate States have, by a joint resolution, invited, meto j appoint'a day of public fasting,- huniilia j tion and prayer, with thanksgiving to Al? mighty-God. . it is our solemn duty at all times and more cspeciallydn a season df..public trial and adversity, to acknowledge 'our de? pendence on His mercy, and to. bow in humble submission before his footstool, confessing our manrfbld sins, supplicating His gracious pardon, imploring His'Di? vine help, and devoutly rendering thanks for the many and great blessings which He has vouchsafed to us. Let the hearts of our. people turn con? tritely and trustfully untOr/God ; let us recognise in His. chastening ,hcmd the correction of a Father, and submissively pray that the trials'and sufferings which, have so long borne heavily upon us, may be turned away by His . merciful love; tflat his'sustaininggracc be given to our people, and His.diyiuc wisdom imparted to our rulers; that the Lord of Hosts will be with our armies and tight tor us against our enemies; and that He will -graciously take our cause into His own hand and mercifully establish for us a lasting, just and honorable peace and" independence. And let us" not forgc.t to render unto His hoi}- name the thanks and 'praise which arc so justly due for His great good? ness, and for the many mercies which He has extended to us amid the trials and sufferings of protracted and bloody war. Now,-therefore,-J, Jefferson Davis, Pres? ident of the Confederate.Slates of Amer? ica, do issue this my proclamation, ap? pointing Friday, the tenth day of March next, as a-day of public fasting, hnmilia-. ? tion and prayer, (with thanksgiving,) for " invoking the favor and guidance of Al? mighty God';" and I do earnestly invite ? all soldiers and citizens to observe the same in a spirit of reverence, penitence and prayer.

If there is any tiling wanting to convince the peo? ple of home that our cause is not so lugubrious as some would have us believe, tho manly, determined spirit lately manifested by the proud, heroic and defiant rank-and-lilc of Lee's noble army dissipates all doubt, and assures us of ultimate triumph iu this contest. Its spirit is undaunted by inverses: its attitude defiant in the very teeth of disasters; its clarion voice must silence the misgivings of the tinftd and weak-kneed. They arc the incn who have, in the pa:jf, -defeated aud discomfit ted Ihc foe, on so many glorious fields of victory, and there (hey staud to-day, baring their bosoms to hostile hosts arid almost hourly meeting dnff&'dr and death. Yet, notwithstanding all the sacrifices1 heretofore made, and the prospect that the future teems with .countless others, their bold cry is for liberty and independence,- at whatever cost ana* every hazard of life aud property. What a commentary-on the times is this manifestation.of endurance and forti? tude ! The contrast is striking and forcible, and should be indelibly impressed upon those who re? main here, to enjoy the comforts and eaho of their homes. The men who meet the cnoiny in baiilc, and dispute his progress in the effort to enslave our women and children?the men who encounter " perils " the imminent, deadly breach," endure fatigue, hardships and exposure beyond parallel, and whose lives arc jeopardized contihually? .these noble, spirits proclaim an unalterable';and heroic determinati3ii to achieve success or perish nobly in the effort. Sow, who in ifr Ilia! dare.-- to insinuate a-contrary opinion? Those who have consistently avoided.the-service due to n bleeding aud suffcrhig country, and have reveled in inglo? rious case, and are now gloating over the wealth accumulatcd-by the consequences of war. _ Though others, more'patriotic, may despond and despair r.t times, it is this blnsH of people, hanging like an incubus over our fortunes, who have insidiously instilled the.-^oison from the hcirinning and en? forced its baneful effects. Thi;; hideous evil is chargeable in the main to their account, along with the enormous catalogue Ihey have propagated by their avaricednd sclfi?lmes?. But let us turn now to a more pleasing i Verne, in connection with the resolutions of our patriotic soldiery. Tiic women of our Land arc confidently appealed to for encouragement and assistance in this hour of trial. Throughout the duration o! this conflict, their devotion :.nd self-sacrificing spirit has been applauded and admired. Orator.' have descanted up?n their heroism and patience; poets have sung their ?wecte&t chants in honor oi our blessed women ; the universal world ha.' Unl tu h'?mn'tco i.??? ! ^i^tT.aioW'P iTToii.ntiit loo. and even that foe has borne un^rilling testimony to their constancy andSe:!! in the e.ir.se of Hit S?llth.

While the latter have done enough to make their names household word.; for all iv?>c, there is yet more to be accomplished; and flic ap? peal will not fall on listless ears or be passed by unheeded; -.-?^ ?-. Extract From a letter of a soldier in the Army of Vir? ginia, dated January 31st, 18(55: . it Tiic year that is gone was a Momentous one, and its record is made up of lights and shadows, smiles and tears', joys' and son-own, victories anil defeats. The year has opened gloomily, for (lie Confederacy, and disasters follow in quick succes? sion ; yet, contrasted with our condition this tine last year, wc have reason to congratulate otr sclvcs; our condition is immeasurably better, we have redeemed from the hands of the cncmy.an empire of territory, cast and west of the Mississip? pi river; we have forced Sherman to a base on>he Atlantic Coast, where he is less dangerous Ilia)'he was at Atlanta, and where wc hope our p?oplc will bo able to keep'him cooped up ; our currency isjasi improving) measures arc being taken to fill-inj the ranks of our armies,?Lee has been appohfed General-in-Chief over all our forces, and Dnpcic ExnmoE Secretary of War, and I trust, that string will find us fully prepared at all points, strpigcr and more formidable than ever. True, thisirmy is somewhat gloomy, but sucli is over th&cnsc when the men arc in winter-quarters, and i will vanisli when the campaign opens. Wc arc inputs; on the Charles City Road, C miles cast of Rich? mond, just in rear of impregnable fortificiions, aud we do not fear any force which the enenv may bring against us. Tho health of the army is ex? cellent, and the men are generally cheerful,' du? rations arj; very good, but rather short, wcjire in no danger of over eating. Wc have had suii very cold weather, that the James rrre'r. is frozel over and navigation stopped; the ponds near' (nr. en? campment furnish fine opportunities for /eating, and many a cracked crown and bruised jyc, at? tests the assiduity with which our men If.ve en? tered on this sport. Then, too, the soldivs have one or two theatres in operation, so thatwc are likely to pass an agreeable winter. Teacc rumors are very current here.'at this time ; Congross/lobates peace, the papcrstpcak of peace, and on last Sabbath, the Hons. ?1H. Ste? phens; R. m. T. H?.NTEn, and John A.

But our people slbuld not bo deceived by these rumors of peace, iesc gen? tlemen liave gone to Washington, simpl' as gen? tlemen, and not as authorized Commis/oncr,? of the Government; they can do nothing tlercforo to bind us or tho enemy ; nor, while wc pijy for suc? cess to attend their efforts, docs any Intelligent man hero believe that they will effect ay desira? ble end.
