More Desertert Coming In.

A letter from the 56th Regiment, at Wkcsboro',
Oct 18th, says
We will send of about $50 deserters and cOnsrrr-
tomorrow, which will make over 100 They have come
in and surrendered themselves by dozens 81 reported
in one day.
We again appeal to the friends aud relatives of those
who still prowliDg in the woods living by theft ard
violence, to urge them TO come in voluntarily % s1
many are doing in tie mountains. Especially do w.
call upon the friends {. the misguided men in parts
Chatham, Randolph and More to come in Gen. ii okc
will be there, and caught with arms in his
hands will be suffered to live as no such traitor to his
country ought to live. These men may suppose that
they have passed every day Of grace and that they
doomed to execution if they come in, and might
we'll remain in the woods. But the 700 taken at Wilkes
boro' have not been executed neither will they be, *.
cept the ringeaders and hardened Williams who amount
to perhaps one in a hundred.
Let all come forward, join Our victorious armies IN
putting end to the war in the only way in which
can be ended that is, by whipping the Yankee armies
and securing the independence of the CoDfederay and
it's eternal separation from the vile race.
In addition to other reasons for present and prompt
action on this matter call attention to the Order OF
Col Mallett, allowing conscripts the privilege of j)n
ing any Regiment they may choose in either Lees
Braggs army. For reasons with which we are not
familiar but which longer exist, this privilege has
heretofore been necessarily denied But representa-
ton to the War Department by Col Mallett has now
secured it. 1t is his opinion that some thousands OF
conscripts have evaded their duty who will now per,
form it with this privilege of selection. Let US hope
that it will have this happy effect, that the woods will
be deserted and the army envened by ga change O.
base " Of the recusant conscripts.
