Gen. DIngruder's Pros iamntIon,

Gen. Magruder has addressed the following proclama-
tion to the Army of the Peninsula
Comrades, the term Of service for which many of you
enlisted is about to expire. Your country invaded by
an nsolent foe, again demands your help; your homes
violated your resdes polluted by the presence of
mercenary enemy, silent in their desoation many
of your friends in captivity in exile our people
saiu and the very atars OF religion dsecrated ard
protaned The ruthless tyrants who have dared to H.
wade US have vowed our conquest or oar destruction
1t is for you to rise and avenge slaughtered coun-
trymen,o noby share their ate Of what worth is life
without liberty? Peace at the expense OF honor The
world without home
When our fathers pered life fortune and sacred
honor in first of independence was it all empty
boast it the resolve of freemen, knew
their rights and dared to defend them The long war
OF the Revolution eliminated at length in victorious
triumph these very plains Of Yorktown These
trownng batements, the heights of York are turn
ed is this second of liberty against the enemies Of
country. You breathe the ar and tread the soil
consecraed by The presence and the heroism of our
patriotic sires shall w. their sons initiate their example
or basey bow the neck to the yoke of the oppressor
kn0W your GnSlCeT You remember your wrongs, and
you resolved to aveDge them True to the instincts
of patriotic devotion, you will not fill towards grave
you will spring with alacrity to the death gappe with
the foe, renqush the strife till victory crowns our
arms Cowards die Thousand deaths brave men die
but once, and conquer though they die.
1t is therefore, Wtthout SURPRISE that your Command
Ing General has learned oil your purpose to reenst in
this holy struggle, and that you bear with cheerful
ness and constancy, worthy of his highest admiration,
the disappointment of Withdrawing from you the fur
loughs to visit your homes which the Government pro-
mised you and whih the present dangers Of beloved
country forbds it to grant. When the is ended,
in that hour of triumph you will be proud to remember
that by your suerings aDd sacrifices no less than by
| your valor, you conquered
Soldiers though reverses and disasters have recently
beiallen let US remember that truth is eternal and
that God IS us-His arm is our trust-and the great
Ruler of nations and of men will protect the right and
crown with victory the noble and the brave
Let US take courage, then. Oar enemy, dead to the
spirit OF liberty, cnly fight while their Golfers are
unexchanged Commerce is their king. Their god is
gold. They glory in their shame. The war which in
tensfes devotion and concentrates our resources
scatters theirs. The day Of retribution viii come
The struggle will not always be defensive on our part
We will yet strike down our ruthless invaders amid the
smoking ruins Of their cities, and with in uul
hands, dictate terms of peace on their own SOIL
