Major General Rosecra1's Address to
the Army.

1ne UenerAl commanding desires TO
say to the soldiers of the Army of the
Cumberland. that he was we'll pleased
with their conduct yesterday. It was all
that be could have wished for. He nsi.
ther saw or heard of any skulking. They
behaved with the GOODNESS and gallantry
Of vetrans. He now feels perfectly con-
fident, with Gods grace, and their help,
Of striking this day blow for tho coun-
try, the most crushing, perhaps. which
the rebellion hes yet sustained. Soldiss
the eyes Of the whole nation are upon
you; the very fate of the nation may be
said to hang on the issues Of this days
battle. Be true then to yourselves, true
to your own manly character and soldier
ly reputation; true to the love of your
dear ones at home, whose prayers ascend
this day to God for. yonr success. Be
cool. Ineed not AK you to be brave.
Keep ranks. Do not throw away your
FIRE. Fire slowly, deliberately-above
all, Ere low-and be always sure Of your
aim. Close readily in upon the enemy,
and when you get within charging dis
tsnee. rash upon him with the bayonet.
Do this and victory will certainly be
yours. Recollect that there are hardly
any troops in the world that will stand
bayonet charge. and those who make 1t,
therefore. are sure to win.

The Raymond (Miss.) Gazette thinks

Abolitienists couple of weeks since, had
they had a knowledge of the facts and
sufficient courage to avail themselves Of
the situation. That journal says: We
learn verbally that on the very day they
commenced their furious display in the
Yazoo River, President Davis and his
staff, Gen. johnson and his staff, Gsn.
8. D. Lee and his staff, and innumsrable
other military men of remove, all dined at
the house Of Mr.. Blake, near the banks Of
the Yazoo, not only within hearing Of
the guns of tho Yankees, but also within
sight o. those terrible gunboats.

Retaliation.


From the Savannah Republican,
The Jackson Appeal suggests tive
methods of retaliation. The first is, that
after tho first of January, all commission.
ed officers captured on slave territory be
summarily executed, and the other is that
such officers be turned over by the Con.
federate Government to tbs State author
tiles, to be dealt with as felons. The
adoption of either one of these measures
would, no doubt, exercise . very bsne-
6cial influence upon these minions OF
Lincoln, who carry their commissions in
their pockets for the purpose Of melting
the slaves to rebellion and insurrection.
For such fends no punishmens is too Sc,
we're. and they should be made to feel
and know in advance that the death pen
atty awaits them if they arc captured on
Southern soil after the proclamation of
Lincoln shall have made its appearance.
The same suggestion was made in this
journal Immediately on the receipt of
Lincoln's preliminary proclamation,
showing that this was to be an abolition
war. The presence of such men on our
soil is violation of State law which
inaicts the penalty Of death. Their pur-
pose is net war in the civilized sccepts-
tion of the term and hence they are On.
titled to noue Of the privileges of bellig-
erents. Every State should make . de-
mand for all abolition officers captured
within its limits. and they should be tried
and hung as insurrectionists. Such q
course would be both legal and Just, and
We hope Congress will, on reassembling,
give its sanction to the proceeding and
obviate al danger of collision.
