SLIGHTLY INsUBoapISATE.-- John e.
Dayiss ex-meniber of Congress from tn-
diana, lately delivered an. address at In
dianapolis, in which ke declared that he
was an out-andout peace man, and in
favor ola Western Confederacy "As for
Lincoln" said he, Lincoln has played
out, so has his gang Of pickers and steal
erS, his rutiian provost marshals, and his
great machine for the subjngation of the
liberties of his own people"
Here is what Davis said upon the Fed
eral conscript and Congressional enact
mehts in general:
lnever will pledge myself to submit to all
laws Congress may pass. | 10 not say that
have reference to the cOnscript act Some
say we must submit to that, but will hot
cay whether, you should or not. Some say,
LET the Supreme Court decide the matter.
Probably yon would net get decision from
the Supreme Court for ten years. Hang your
hopes on aleatherwoo.l, and not Oh willow
tree. | ncy.o will submit to everything; l
would be a slave if | did not taEe my 9nn
and defend myself Many tell you to wait,
1t will take six or eight years t9 redeem the
Senate. The Administration will be against
you for two years. Hhe House will be Re-
publican for good while. The elections

Kentucky, Missouri, etc, by dozen or go Of
men, as has already been done.
This, ;fcorrectly reported, is rather rev.
olutionary. 1t is, however, the pro-
gralnme of the Northern Copperlieads.
Mr.. Davis disposes Of the Abolition Home
Guard the troops raised to keep people
under-in very brief and Summary
style:
What'are they for2 Ii they want to fight
let them go down Sonth. We arr taxed 10
arm these Home Guards. Ii they are arnied
to snbjugate Democrats, We will tight theni
to death.
Davis stands squarely before the issue
peace. is his. word day and night,
his beck and staff. Peace and reunion,
or peace and disunion, but peace any way.
Hear him.
Democrats in Indiana want this war sebr-
ped; Would stop it now. You are the in.

Attempt 70 Pass Goaatst3ea lit,seg Ycsfer-
DAY morning Deputy MARSHAL Henry Myers
and detective Washington Goodrich arrested
two negroes, named johnson, tfree,) and
Carey, slave Of VIM. 8. Blackburn, Of Middle
sex, charged with passing counterfeit money.
Johnson presented ut the coanter Of the
Confederate States Treasury Department
500 counterfeit bill for exchange
Goodrich was Immediately sent for, and took
him In custody, when the negro stated that
he had received il from the negro boy Ca
rey, at Camp Lee, to exchange for him.
Deputy Marshal Myers WAS sent after Carey,
and succeeded in making his arrest. The
case was examined lefore Commissioner
Watson yesterday afternoon, and 1t was
found that Carey had received the bill from
, soldier in payment for watch, and did not
know 1t was worthless. Having some
doubts, from his Inability to spend il, Of its
genuineness, he had given it to Johnson TO
dispose Of, if good. Johnson at once pro-
ceeded 10 the Tiefsnry Department, and
there learned its value, when his arrest en-
sued ln1view Of these facts, the Cor, mis-
sioner very promptly acquitted them both.
The bill was glaring counterfeit, and be-
lieved to be one of those recently issued
aud offered for sale from Yankee land.

GEN LEES ARuy.-The correspondent
Of the Mobile Register, writing from
Orange Court House, August 18th, fur
nishes the following:
Gen Lees army is well rested again. The
ranks are film. up fast, and the men are
reatly for another trial -NheHeyer the Yauks
feel Inclined. We are not bali whipped yet,
and don't intend to be. Keep the people up
to the work in Alabama and Miss issippi. aud
all Will be right again. Never say die
''tiiere's life in the old land YETI
Gen- Lee is making every eXertion TO get
back the thousands of officers and men who
have so long been absent from the army
Many Of them are really siek-and wounded,
and unable to return; bat most Of them are
''heroe5 Of the Peninsula Who did not relish
tlicir first and last battle, and have siSulked
eyer since. Conscript officers have failed 10
meet these cases. Month after month regular
surgeons certificates come to their captains,
and in this way they are screened from the
punishment they SD justly deserve. THE eX<
amining boards ana surgeons at home do not
seem to appreciate the necessity of these
men being with their commands, because
they can form no conception Of the immense
number absent-they only seeing those who
come to one out Of 4 thousand posts. They
are also too easy in their opinions as to when
man cain perform military duty. if.they
could only see what great many emaciated
and sick men are obliged to endure on their
march, their minds would change very ma
terially. Over one-half of the army of North
ern Virginia is absent. Let the ladies take
the advice Of Illinois" )" and drive them away
aud back to their places. We need every
man of them. Lincoln is organizing for the
only campaign that has any. shadow Of a
chance to take Richmond, and we must have
men to avert it, 10 meet this exigency !
, learn General Lee will soon publish an or
der requiring all abseItees able to travel,
to report in person to their commands
for examination. Able-bodied men detailed
with Generals, Quartermasteis, and CoinMis
saries, as clerks, etc, are TO be sent back,
and disabled and deserving soldiers put in
their places. II is pity these stout and
healthy mea, who have used every shift to
keep out of the army, could not know in
what perfect contempt they are held by the
men who have done the lighting, and SO far
saved the country, while they have remained
al home in luxury and ease. Perhaps they
|.are SO lost to shame that II Would not effect
them. BE it as it may, the "noss" policy
has been tried long enough, and, as far Is this
army is concerned, rocks are to be fesorted
| to, and the most severe p,tnishment-esen
to d sath-will henceforth be used. Ii man
will not fight for his country, Le is not fit to
enjoy tn, blessings Of If, and the sooner the
authorities ~shutiie oil his mortal COLL the
better Cor him and his country.
