Bringing Home The Unserviceahle.

II has been the ardent desire Of parents
aud friends, to have the sick aud wounded
soldiers as near their own watchcare as
p,ssjble-naturally surprising that they
would be the best nurses. Military and
pruiential reason. have prcvented-high
authorities deemng it inexpeient, for the
sufferers themselves, to be under any care
but that Of their own more experienced
aud competent physicians, nurses, and
surgeons, nearest the scene Of action, 10
the large hospitals where every needed
want is anticipated. This is doubtless
true in many cases-aDi yet, it is natural
to suppose that every family wouli do its
best, and that the social stimuIauts to re-
coTcry, aud the personal enj joyments Of the
patients, must be far greater under their
own roofs than under stranger hands in
general. Whatever policy may be best,
thousands will be glad to learn that Gov.
Curtin, Gen. Cameron, and other Peun-
syivauians have prevailed in obtaining an
order (as We learn by despatch from
See. Slter to Capt GuDdy,) that the sick
and wounded, who eau be removed, but
are unit for service, may be brought into
the State, so that what benefit nearness of
friends may impart may be measurably if
not wholly eujoyed Hired nurses are
good, ind feren', aud bad. But thousands

ADDRESS OF COL. JOHNSON.
Fellop Citizens Of Auoyellcs;

/ am called to the command Of
the Avoyeles Regiment at an no i
when defeat and disaster have attended
our arms abroad, and when a mo-
mentary gloom sllrouds every hearth
stone in our midst. But with exultant
satisfaction have | witnessed the proud
and defiant spirit of >onr chivalrous Greco
les to defend their homes, or perish in
the attempt. When such determination
animates the public mind, and fires the
public heart throuhg all it's ,ifr-giving
channels, we have nothing to fear from
the dastardly and insolent invaders from
Yankeedom Oar old men will reposu
thrifaged limbs in security. our women
will pursue III confidence and hope their
usual avocatiuns, and our c ildrrn will
sport away their innocent hours, fearless
Of an approaching foe. RELYING upon the
stallworth arms Of their defenders.
But, Fellow Citizens. in meeting the
enemy it must be remembered that dis
ripline and sabordination are the essen
tial elements Of success. Without them
whole army Of brave soldiers may be
thsswn IN confusion and pay the fearful
!rllalty Of defeat. Let lis therefore en-
list all orr energies and exertinls in the
thorough organization Of our Militia force.
!" you do | appeal for your aid. your
sympathy and your cooperation i'll this
work. Now is the time for action, for
''lnunndiate" action, and for energetic
action. The enemy is almost at your
very gates. Already do they marshal
their hostile columns upon the soil Of
Arkansas, Of Mississippi, Of Alabama.
and Of Georgia. and soon may they plant
their banner OF TYRANNY and oppression
upon your own loved Louisiana. Once
here, and not repulsed with energy and
decision, your household gods will be
dispersed. Your temples Of worship de-
secrateds your property seized, and your
families compelled TO seek their salty by
fight.
But such can never be as long as we
do Our. duty. Such scenes as the s,,rren-
der Of Donelson and Nashville without
blow, can never be enacted in Louisiana.
Let us then be prepared to meet the
ruthless foe with "bloody hands and hos
pitable graves"
Very respectfully your, fellow ci-
tizens,

PLANTING.

It is Of the utmost Importance that
every farmer i'll the Conftd-racy, par
.icularv those in the cotton States. should
go TO work sedulously and SOW and reap
the cereals, and ali other products, which
sustain human and animal life, in the
greatest possible abundance. This should
be their chief end and aim. No market
is accessible to the leading staples of ex-
port, and, were it otherwise, that fact
would not lessen the force Of our recom-
snendation. We can all get along very
Well without selling cotton, but we can
not get along at all with mt bread and
meat.
In regard to this particular subject,
the Memphis Appeal makes these judi
cious observations:
1t is evident that we must provision
ourselves since We are cut off completely
from the supplies formerly furnished us
by the Northwest. Our armies aud our
people will rely upon the Southern plan
tiers to afford them food, and thus keep.

cy and its defenders so long as the con-
test may continue. Particularly should
the planting interest Of the cotton States

mississippi, Arkansas, louisiana and

Of adopting this policy. It is probable
that the soil Of Kentucky, Virginia, North
