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.
