Je GersOn Davis's Address to
the Army.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF TENNESSEE, }
October l4th, 1868.

October l4th, 1868.
SOLDIERS: A grateful country recognizes
your arduous services, and rejoices over
your glorious victory on the field OF Chick
amauga. When your coCntrymen shall more
| fully learn the adverse circumstances under
which you attacked the enemy, though they
cannot be more thankful, they may admire
more the galantry and patriotic devotion
which secured your success. Representa-
tives of every State of the Contederacy,
your steps have been followed up with al
iectionate solicltude by friends in every
portion of the country. Defenders of the
heart of our territory, your movements
have been an object of interest, anxiety and
hope,
Our cause depends on you, and happy 1t
is that all can rel upon your achieving
whatever under the blessing Of Providence,
human power can effect
Though you have done much, very much
remains to be done. Behind you is peo-
pie providing for your support, and depend
ing upon your protection. Before you is a
country devastated by your ruthless invad-
ers, where gentle women, feeble age and
lpless Infancy have been subjected to out
RACES withou. parallel in the warfare of civil
lied nations.
With eager eve they watch for your
Coming to their deliverancc, and homeless
refugees pine for the hour when your VIC
torious arms shall restore their family shell
tiers from which they have been driven and
forced to take up arms to vindiSate their
political rights, freedom, equality and State
sovereignty, which were heritage purchas-
ed by the blood OF our Revolutionary sires.
You have but the alternative of being
slaves of submission to a despotic usurpa
tion, or Of Independence, which vigorous,
united, and persistent effort will secure
All which fires manly breast, moves a
patriot, or exalts hero, are present to
stimulate and sustain you. Nobly have
YOU redeemed your pledges, given in the
name of freedom, to the memory of your
ancestors and the rights of your posterty.
That you may complete your mission to
which you have devoted yourselves will re
quirs of you such exertions in the future as
you have made in the past, and the con-
tinuous selfdenial which rejects every con-
sideration at variance with the public ser
vice as unworthy of the holy cause in which
you are engaged.
When the war shall be ended the high
est need of praise will be due, and prob
ably will be given to him who has claimed
the least for himself in proportion to the
service he has rendered. And the bitterest
self rcproach which may hereafter hau..t

The CINCINNATI COMMERCIAL says the

. L
President gave the rebels one hundred days
in which to make their peace with the
Government before he issued his Proclama-
ton of Emancipation That was nice
ejaculation of military necessity in future
How did our military President know that
the rebellion would not expire by Stewards
old statute of Limitation in ninty days, in
which case they coald hardly have been
represented in the U. S. Congress, Jan. l,
1863, the only prima facie evidence OF
loyalty? Can the astute COMMERCIAL tell?
Perhaps that oracle of all military pre-
science, Gen. HALLEcK, was consulted? IT
so, the country, Of course, willrest satisfied
that the issuing of the Proclamation, was
indeed, one of the most extraordinary ex-
hibitions of foresight into future military
attitudes on record Nothing equals it ex
cept the Millerite predictions in regard to
the end of the world. LINCOLN and HAL
LEcK are the prophet generals of the min
re>nth century.
b rhe COMMERCIAL, however, spoils the
elegant and imposing portrait of the mercl
ful and omnipotsnt cheftain conjures up In
the magnificent phrase (he) "gave the rebels
one hundred days. by amasculating in the
following cruel style:
"In proportion. as our armies have ad-
vanced, the institution of slavery has been
broken up. This, even if it were a thing to
be deprecated, has not been caused by the
Proclamation of Emancipation. 1t is an
inevitable incident of the rebellion, and
ought to be adopted as such."-
Poor Proclamation! after all it is only
10 the eyes even Of the COMMERCIAL a
br7etum .tulmen-a merely quixetic effort OF
the President to take the wind out of an
''evitable incident" This is indeed very
mild view of the act that was to send Mr..
LINCoLNs name to posterity wreathed all
over with "the thanks of millions of ne
groes) yet to be-" and we greatly mistake
if the Second Washington" does not con-
slider the COMMERCIALS comment at least
a doubtful compliment"
So far as its effect towards putting down
the rebellioni is concerned, we agree with
our contemporary that the proclamation has
been failure, and sincerely wish We could
stop here. But it has done infinite harm
in embarrassing the Union cause. This is
too plain to need proof r.

Funny.

The funniest story we ever head was told
by Mr.. Cough, during the delivery Ct his
temperance lecture last evening. Here it
is: Two men after drinking and carousing
all night at a saloon, started in the morning
to 90 home. 1t was beautiful, sammy NOR
ming, and as they staggered along, the fol-
lowing conversation arose:
Inebriate No. 1.-"How bright (hlc) the
moon shnesn
No. 2-"You don't call that (hic) moon
do ye? that's (hic) !"
No. -"Ta;nt-its (hic) moon"
No. 2--"I tell you its sum-"
No. l.-Well less leave (hic) matters to
first man we(hc) meet"
No. 2-Agreed The two toddled along
for a short distance, when they Glanced to
meet man in exactly the same condition
with themselves. This individual was i'm
mediate]y treated TO the following inferno,
CATION:
No. IL say (hic) Ole fellow We've
got inter little 'spute; want ye to (hic)elp
us out. Ny freq here (hic) says that's the
sun, pointing upwards to Old Sol who was
blazing fiercely down upon them and
shay it's moon Now we're going (hic) to
leave the matter to you. What is it-sun
or (hic) moonF'
The person addressed, braeed himself,
after considerable difficulty, against lamp
post, and then commenced to scrutinize, as
we'll as he could, the burning orb overhead
repeating, in meditative tone of voice
"Sun-moon--sun [hic moon After a
short observation" he exclaimed; "Fact
is Thicl gent'lem, I'm a stranger iu this
part [hic of the country, and cant hicI
tell whether its sun or 1hic moon"
Thus the matter was undecided, and in
ebriates numbers l and 2 reeled away very
much disgusted.--Ciereland Plaindsater.

And this was not the last assurance
