He was not a man to save our country. If I knew that a
general did not possess the right qualities to command,
would I not be wrong if he was not removed? Why, when
our army was falling back from Northern Georgia, I even
heard that I had sent Bragg with pontoons to cross it to
Cuba. But we must be charitable. The man who can specu-
late ought to be made to take up his musket. When the war
is over, and our independence won—and we will establish
our independence—who will be our aristocracy ? I hope the
limping soldier. To the young ladies I would say that,
when choosing between an empty sleeve and the man who
had remained at home and grown rich, always take the
empty sleeve. Let the old men remain at home and make
bread. But should they know of any young man keeping
away from the service, who cannot be made to go any other
way, let them write to the Executive. I read all let era sent
me from the people, but have not time to reply to them. You
have not many men between 18 and 45. The boys, God bless
the boys, are, as rapidly as they become old enough,going to
the field. The city of Macon is filled with stores, sick and
wounded. It must not be abandoned, when threatened ; but
when the enemy copes, instead of calling upon Hood's '
army for defence, the old men must fight, and when the
enemy is driven beyond Chattanooga, they too can join
in the general rejoicing. Your prisoners are kept as a
sort of Yankee capital. I have heard that one of their
generals said that their exchange would defeat Sher-
man. I have tried every means, conceded everything to
effect an exchange, but to no purpose. Butler, the beast,
with whom no Commissioner of Exchange would hold inter-
course, had published in the newspapers that if we would
consent to the exchange of negroes all difficulties might be
removed. This is reported as an effort of his to get himself
whitewashed, by holding intercourse with gentlemen. If
an exchange could be effected, I don't know but I might be
induced to recognise Butler. But to the future every effort
will be given, as far as passible, to effect the end. We want
our soldiers in the field and we want the sick and wounded
to return home. It is not proper for me to speak of the
number of men in the field, but this I will say, that two-
thirds of our men are absent—some sick, some wounded, but
most of them absent without leave. The man who repents
and goes back to his commander voluntarily appeals strongly
to executive clemency. But suppose he stays away until
the war is over, and his comrades return home, and when
every man's history will be told, where will he shield him-
self ? It is upon these reflections that I rely to make men
return to their duty; but, after conferring with our generals
at head-quarters, if there be any other remedy it shall be
applied. I love my friends and I forgive my enemies. I
have been asked to send reinforcements from Virginia to
Georgia. In Virginia the disparity in numbers is just as
great as it is in Georgia. Then I have been asked why the
army sent to the Shenandoah Valley was not sent here. It
was because an army of the enemy had penetrated that
valley to the very gates of Lynchburg, and General Early
was sent to drive them back. This he not only successfully
did, but, crossing the Potomac, came well nigh capturing
Washington itself, and forced Grant to send two corps of
his army to protect it. This the enemy denominated a raid,
If so, Sherman's march into Georgia is a raid. What would

the whole field. With this we can succeed. If one Nalf of
the men absent without leave will return to duty we can
defeat the enemy. With that hope I am going to the front.
I may not realise this hope ; but I know there are men
there who have looked death in the face too often to
despond now. Let no one despond. Let no one distrust;
and remember that if genius is the beau ideal, hope is the
reality.
(From the Macon lelegraph and Confederate.)
In our report yesterday of the President's speech we un-
intentionally omitted to mention the high and deserved
compliment paid by the Executive to General Hardee.
" Whoever may have failed (said the President), that noble
Georgian, General Hardee, has done all that could be ex-
pected of a soldier or asked of a patriot." Well said, and
true to the letter.

(From the Charleston Courier.)

The editor of the Macon Co? federate has received a pri-
vate letter, dated September 26, from an officer in the army,
containing the following item : —" The President reviewed
the troops in bivouac to-day, and some of the men in
Cheatham's and Bates' divisions called out to him to send
Johnston back, and proposed and gave three cheers for Old
Joe." The writer also states that the officers, having re-
ceived information that some such demonstration was to be
made, issued orders prohibiting it, and threatening to punish
the offenders. Some of the men, however, were bold enough
to set the order at defiance.

As public curiosity is much exercised concerning this dis-
tinguished hero, and more particularly at present with
regard to his assumption of command in Georgia, we are
permitted to give the substance of a brief colloquy between
a gentleman and President Davis :

Gentleman—Mr President, se have heard here that Gen.
rood has been superseded. Is it so ?

President—lf so, I have not heard it, and do not know it
to be so.

Gentleman—We understand that General Beauregard
was to assume command.

President—General Beauregard will take any command
to serve his country. He will pass through Augusta in a
few days.
The quidnuncs aro welcome to draw whatever conclu-
sions they please.

(From Me Charleston Courier Sepi. 24.)

His Excellency President Davis passed through Augusta
on Thursday afternoon. On his arrival at the Augusta and
Savannah Railroad depot he was greeted by a large con-
course of citizens, who loudly cheered the respected Chief
Magistrate of the nation at his appearance from the car in
which he was travelling, In answer to these manifestations
of popular applause, he appeared on the platform of the car
and made a few remarks, in which he said he was happy to
greet so many of his fellow-citizens of Georgia; that it is
no time now for despair or despondency; that the enemy
must be driven from the soil of Georgia, and that the men
of Georgia must aid in the great work. They must leave
for a while their wives and children, and cast their gold to
the winds, and help to drive back the insolent foe from their
borders. We are struggling, said the President, to pre-
serve the heritage bequeathed to us by our fathers—the
right to govern ourselves--the right to be freemen. If we
succeed we shall be happy and prosperous ; but if our con-
federacy should fall, constitutional government, political
freedom will fall with it, and we shall be subject to such
outrages as that lately enacted at Atlanta in the banishment
of women and children from their homes—an outrage which
would surely bring down upon the perpetrators the ven-
geance of a great God. He exhorted the people, therefore,
to be firm and faithful, and all would yet be well.
(From the Montgomery Hail.)
Mr. Davis began by expressing a sense of gratitude for
the occasion, which the kind attention of the Legislature
had given him, of appearing before them, and assuring the
citizens of Alabama from that Capitol in which the first
notes of our existence were issued of his remembrance and
sympathy. He would not attempt to conceal the fact that
we have experienced great disasters of late. The enemy
have pressed our armies backward into the centre of Georgia,
threatened the border of Alabama, and occupied the bay of
Mobile—but the city still stands, and will stand though
every wall and roof should fall to the ground. Be had been
disappointed in all his calculations in Northern Georgia.

After sending forward to the army at Dalton all the rein-
forcements he could collect from every quarter, including
the troop s

N o Northern Mississippi

ment our arms would have retired to Atlanta, he would

to have assailed Sherman upon his flank by North Alabama.
expected
But he had yielded to the idea of concentration, and the
sequel was anything than what he had been induced to hope.
Yet we were not without compensation for our losses. In
Virginia, despite the odds brought against us, we have
beaten Grant, and still defiant hold our lines before Rich-
mond and Petersburg pure pure and noble patriot, that
great soldier and Christian, General Lee, although largely
outnumbered upon his flanks, commanded a body of men
who had never known what it was to be whipped, and
never stopped to cipher. The time for action is now at
hand. There is but one duty for every Southern man. It
is to go the front. Those who are able for the field should
not hesitate a moment, and those who are not should seek
some employment to aid and assist the rest, and to induce
their able-bodied associates to seek their proper places in the
army.
Mr Davis adverted to the part he had himself endeavoured
to bear in the war, of his repugnance to the office of chief,
and his desire for the field, incident to a military ambition
and some faith in his capacity for arms, He also alluded to
his long political career, and the animosities and ill feeling
which an active part in the affairs of the country had engen-
dered. Ho bad feared, ho said, that old prejudices in others
might be turned against him, and that old feelings in him-
self might influence his action ; but that he could declare to-
day, after four years of experience, and in the same hall
where he swore before highHe wen to support the constitu-
tion of his country, that so help him God he had never
been induced to any course, public or personal, by any con-
sideration of the past. lie felt that it was not time, and he
was not the man, to have any friends to reward or enemies
to punish. There be some men, said Mr Davis, who, when
they look at the sun, can only sea a speck upon it. lam of
a more sanguine temperament, perhaps, but I have striven
to behold our affairs with a cool and candid temperance of
heart, and applying to them the most rigid test, am the
more confident the longer I behold the progrcsi of the war
and reflect upon what we have failed to do, we should
marvel and thank God for the great achievements which
have crowned our efforts.

He next rapidly surveyed our history for the past three

years, concluding his resume with a thankfulness that the
great staple of the south had been superseded by grain and
produce for the support of our armies in the field.

He paid a glowing tribute to the capacity, gallantry, and
patriotism of Governor Watts, and urged upon the State
and the Legislature the wisdom of his counsels. In the
same connection he spoke of the soldiers of the Alabama.
They had fought everywhere and well. They were still
undaunted. Their example should be the pride and glory
of the State, and an eloquent appeal to those who were yet
behind.

Mr. Davis spoke eloquently of the horrors of war and the
sufferings:of the people. He desired peace. He had tried
to obtain it and had been rudely repulsed. He should still
strive, and by the blessing of God and the strong arm of the
soldiers, yet hoped to obtain it. If there be those who
hoped to outwit the Yankees, and by smooth words and
fair speeches, by the appearance of a willingnesss to treat or
to listen to reunion, hope to effect any certain candidate in
the North, they deceive themselves. Victory in the field
is the surest element of strength to a peace party. Let us
win battles, and we shall have overtures soon enough. Is
there a man in the South in favour of reconstruction ? Mr.
Davis drew a fine picture of the horrors of reunion, which
means subjugation. " All that I have to say," he ex-
claimed, in concluding this portion of his remarks, "is that
the man who is in favour of degradation is on the wrong side
of the line of battle."
