Confedoracy ought to be filled with pa
triotic people entirely, for it is strug'
Cling against superior numbers, and Il
Government crippled BY no blockade,
with the world as u store.hOuse at its
door to furnish whatever it may need
in tho way Of armS, ammunitioA, cloth
iuo and cd;bIcs. Our people haze all
the .ll.,.r.s that can DC named to
make them lor.eC self and sacrifice all
on .ho altar Of county. But we are
cursed with many who arc unworthy
political freedom. There seems to be
money mania cXtant. Respectable
men, as we have been wont to conceive
them, are engaged in moncymakng.
We do not mean that Il man i'll follow
inc his usual avocati0n, or any other
occupation, should not demand reward,
for without such reward his family, or
those dependent upon him, must per
haps suffer. But tins uncaIIcd-tor ca

in which to deal with his creatures
We. are not permitted to divine his
reasons-we are ignorant, and would,
in our simple, vain natures, attempt 10
he gods ourselves if we we were per.
mitted to know His mysterious but

His dispensations without q murmur,
for without His protection what could
we expect. Cast off that dependence
which our Ignorance forces us to feel,
and we would be like 4 mariner with.

ocean of dread uncertainty.
We have sometimes thought tina it
was strange why the Ianatical thlcylng

people, fighting for the right OF self
government, for homes and all that is
dear to treemcn. We can but wonder,
and even murmur in our sintu.ness
sometimes that our people must suffer
that so many widows and orphans
must be made and thrown upon the
cold charity Of an almost heartlcss
wo,lei; that the land must be, as it
were, drenched with bitter, scalding
tears Of agony in weeping for fathers
and sons, and brothers, cut down in the
prime of manhood and usefulness-that
our homes must be desecrated by the
foul footsteps Of u powerful, demon
like foc-that our daily sustenance,
our waving fields of golden grain, our
prospects of future support, must all
suffer and be destroyed by a merciless
invader-all too in honestly endeavor.

war.
But are there not blessings untoio
connected with it? We may not dis

be visible, but let us not forgot to trust
impIi;ity in the justice Of our cause
and employ all the means which are il
our compass. Singular as the thought
may be, we believe that if this war hac
ended six months since, it would have
been worse for us, Had wo gained /:

strife closed in few months, we would

A. II. Nelson to the people OF East
Tennessee, condcmning the recent
proclamation of Lincoln, and donoun-
cling it as the most outrageous act OF
usurpation ever contemplated either in
Europe or America. He says: a shall
deem it my duty to encourage the most
pcrsovenng and determined resistance
against the tyrants and usurpers Of the
Federal Administration; they have
blasted our hopes and are seeking to
destroy the last vcstige Of freedom
among us. Let every man who lsabIe

out waiting for the slow process Of con
scription at once volunteer to aid in
the struggle against the usurpcr. God
will not prosper that man or Govern
ment which heretofore hypocrltlcalIy

tuition, but now throws OFT the mask
and sets it at defiance
The address will have q great effect
