Mrs. Gen. FRENoXT, who became person

throw back generous feelings and make

Nearly all are again in service. They have

81 Ibiuk only the wife of a man much be-
fore the public can fully value the sacred
ness of home, and make it almost religion

this feeling in my fathers house, and con-
frmed in it by the experience of my own
home, it has been a real sacrifice for me to
Ivy open even so small a part of my life
This is unnecessary to say to those who
know me, but as such vast many more do

not what's resisted, beg of them TO bear

have now spoken to something like
half q million of people in the loyal States
since March last, aud am sorry to say to
you that l find great many disloyul men

Northwest These men, and their papers,
talk treason right out, and openly declare
themselves on the side Of the South. They
discourage enlistments, and, when not ac-

they are fomenting jealoustes toward the
Administration, and teaching their servile
partisaus that all hope of the country lies
in the restoration to power of what they
call the Democratic party. For the sake
of power and place, these men are prepa-
red for an iuglorious surrender to JEFF. Da-
Wis, and for Il surrender of the very Prin-

PnrsOn BTOWnIow on the Emnnei-

mise.
We find in the Albany Evening Journal
letter from Parson Brownlow, from
which we takethe following extracts:
The negro question is daily becoming
more and moro troublesome. There are
now thousands of slaves within our lines,
at aud around Nashville. saw as many
as one thousand in one eucampment They
are clamoring for tents, blankets, clothing
and rations, and really our Government has
its hands full along the Southern borders.
Many of them are women aud children, and
can't remunerate the government by labor,
for what they may get. Indeed, the ne.
gro's idea of freedom is freedom from labor.
They suppose that the friendship of the
people of the North towards them will in
duce them to furnish them homes, and then
supply them after doing So Poor creu-
lures they are to be sadly mistaken.
Within my certain knowledge, | assure
you, that to protect their negroes more eff
fectually, the SouthernerS all along these
border States are driving them from before
our lines into the interior, making no dis
elimination between the enslaved and the
free. All alike would be sold to new mas
tiers upon their arrival in the cotton States.
This is q natural operation of the Procla.
ton of emancipation. Unless our armies
gan crush out and dispense the armies of
the Confederacy, gaining successes far be-
yond anything yet accomplished, and eff,

lS THE FIELD, Dec. i, 1862.
"Soldiers: From the commencement to
the end of the battle, bear constantly in
mind what ] now tell you:
''Frst. Never fire because your comrades
do, nor because the enemy does, nor be
cause you happen to see the enemy, nor
'fo- the sake OF firing rapidly. Always
wait till you are certainly within range of
your gun, then single out your man, take
deliberate aim, as low down rs the knee,
and fire.
"Second. When occasion offers, be Ger
tain to pick off the enemy's officers, espe-
cially the mounted ones, and to kill his
artillery horses.
"Third. Don't shout except when you
charge the eneny-as q general thing keep
silent that orders may be heard. Obey the
orders of your officers. but pay no atten-
ton to idle rumors or the words of unan-
thorized persons.
Fourth. Don't stop with your wounded
comrade; the surgeons and n6rmary corps
will take care of him; do you go forward
and AVenge him.
Fifth. Don't break ranks to plumber;
if we whip the enemy all he has will be
ours, if not the spolls will be of no benefit
to us. Plunderers and stragglers will be
put TO death on the spot. File cl9sers are
especially charged with this duty The
cavalry in-rear will likewise attend TO it.
Remember that the enemy you engage
has no feeling of mercy or kindness to-
wards you. His ranks are made up of Pin
Indians, free negroes, Southern tories,
Kansas Jahawkers and hired Dutch cut
throuts.
"These bloody rutians have invaded
your country stolen and destroyed our
property, murdered your neighbors, outra.
ged your women, driven your children from
their homes, and defiIed the graves of your
kindred. If each man of you will do what

ed Many Citizens of Upshur County, an
address to the Legislature of Virginia at

and lawyers to move heaven and earth to
prevent the re- enactment of the Stay Law.
