JEFF. D.AVISTO THEREB-
ELS,


New TonE, April 1C.-JcT. Davis has Is
sued an address to the people Of the South
ern Confcderacy, urging them to lcyote their
agricultural labor to the production of food
Lie says that, though the soldiers are on half
Tations OF meat, there is plenty Of it in the
Confedcracy, but that q difficulty exists in
is transportation, which Is now about to be
remedied. The address contains the follow
lug paragraph:
ITO oppose the invading forces, composed
Ct leyies which have already exceeded 1,3O0,-
tVo men, we had no resources bnt the uneon-
gnerablc yalor Of people determined to be
Tree, and were SO destitute Of military sup.
were reluctantly refused admission into the
service, from our inability to furnish arms,
while for many months continuation some
IF our atrangho1ds owed their safety
chiefly to a careful concealmcnt Of the f.ct
that NC we're without q supply Of powder for
our cannon. Your devotion and patriotism
have trinmphed over Ill these obstacles, and
called into existence munitions Of war, cloth
ing and eEstenance, which have enabled our
soldiers to illustrate their ya1or on numerous
battle fields, and to fnatct crushing defeats on
successive armies, each Of which our arrogant
foe fondly imagined to be einyincible. The con-
trast between our past and present condition
+ well calculated to inspire full confidence in
the triumph OF our arms. At no previous
period Of the war have our forces been so
numerous, 20 we'll organized, and 50 thor
oughly armed, disciplined ahd equipped rs at
present. The season Of high water on which
our enemies relied to enable their fleets OF
gunboats to penetrate into our country and
deyastate our homes, is fast passing aFay,
but our stroagholds on the Mississippi still
bid defiance to the foe, and months Of costly
preparation for their reduction have been
spent in vain. Disaster has been the result Of
their every effort to storm VicksbuEg and Port
undson, as well as every attack on our bat
terlss on Red RiEer, Tallahatchie and other
navigs.ble streams. Within n few weeks the
FILLING waters and increasing heats Of the
summer will complete their discontinue,
and compel their. bafl1ed and defeated fsrcc to
an abandonment Of their expeditions, on
