ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT OF
THE CONFEDERATE STATES.


We call public attention to this address,
which will be found in our advertising COL
umns to day.
During the last month, feeling of apa-
thy seems to have arisen among our people,
which would be- truly alarming, had not
the large majority of the Southern Press
spoken out in terms of marliress words of
cheer, encouragement and hope, while they
pointed out the many causes which gave
rise to it, and now demand that the correc
tive be vigorously applied. The present
war is popHlor one, ,,and in it all portions
of our communities should take part, as
they have not done, owing in a measure to
the substitute, aided by the speculative
mania. Our armies are filled with substi-
tutes, who, if fit for service, should occupy
their own places, and those who employed
them should take the field in person, in
stead of speeulatipg on the necessities Of
the soldiers families, to regain the price of
their aPostacy, and gain large fortunes to be
enjoyed irrespective Of tie cause which most

General Lees Call.

General Lee, says the Richmond Wing,
is not the man to cry wolf when there is nc
necessity for it. On the contrary, so bold
is he, SO proud of his "poor ragamufRns, D
and so confident of their ability to accomp'
lish whatever human nature can achieve,
that he would be apt to trust too much tt
his army, however weakened it may be-
We may be sure. then. that when be calls
for men, he really needs them, and needs
them right away.
He calls upon "sl men to rejoin their
respective regiments at once" He does
more than that He "dppeots to the people
of the States to send forth eocry man able
to Leer arms" There is no uistaking the
meaning of this language, for General Lee
weighs every word before using it. We
are TO understand that he has good reasons,
not for believing, but for hnoWing, that the
enemy will soon advance upon him in tre'
mepdous foree-a force greatly superior to
his own, that in spite of the advantage of
position, and of acting on the defensive, he
Is compelled to call for reinforcements.

One of our Abolition organs OF this city pub

the :" Headquarters of the Army of the Potomac,

comfort to the enemy" All the declared treason

heretofore suppressed by the Government amount
to nothing compared with the mischievous dis
closures if true of this sensation letter of our

world and the rebel army in front OF ours at Fred
ericksburg that the Administration looks with
distrust ON the Army Of the Potomac, and thas
that army CLOCKS Sith diStrust on the Admins
tration;" that General Halleck has denounced
this army as -'disaffected and dangerous" and
that. in fact, "the Army of the Potomac has
ceased to exist" that ''the luminosity in Washing
ton toward the army is amp repaid by the bitter
ness of the army toward the Cabinet; that Gen
eral Burnside had been ordered TO move against
the enemy last Thursday week." and that the
order was countermanded, with the discovery that
some of his Generals had 10 confidence in him,
| that the army Itself had no confidence in him,
that the army is demOralized and in a dangerous
position and that the Cabinet is debating whether
to break il up, to appoint new commander, OF
to try another advance under its present orsani-
zition and leader; and so on to the end of the
chapter.

In 1860, when only distant mutterings OF re

Election of state Printer.

We take this occasion to express our heartfelt
Acknowledgements to our political and personal
friends in the Legislature for their unanimous
vote in the election of State Printer. II is a
vindcatc- most gratifying, after the trials, edit
orial and personal, We have passed through du-
ring the past two years. and they have been in
deed hoars days, weeks and months of trial.
We have done only what we thought was right,
with an eve single to the best interests of the
country. regardless OF personal considerations.
Our bark has been upon atempestaous sea, beset
with perils and dangers upon every side, but with
the Constitution chart and with the princi-
pies and sympathy Of the glorious old Democratic
party to sustain US, we have thus far safely out
ridden every storm. Although light is breaking,
the perils of the nation are not yet encompassed.
There is a great work yet to be done-a work
which win require energy, and zeal, and labor
and the best ability of every true patriot, to ac-
complish.
So far as we are concerned, we shall in the fu-
ture devote ourselves more diligently, If possible,
in every honorable effort to maintain the COnsti-
tuition as il is-as il came from the hands of the
sathers-and to restore the Union as it was-a
Union which conferred upon the nation blessings
and prosperity and progress in an unparalleled
degree.

harmless at our feet As it ever has been, tn,

Personal liberty is one of the absolute rights of
man Its protection Is one of the primary OBJ
jects of Government Under our system, courts
OF law are established to try criminal ofienses Of
every grade. The Federal and State Courts,
having their defined and proper jurisdiction, have
continually been accessible. The law points out
the mode of proceeding against the alleged
offender, and whatever may be the nature of the
crime, the courts in New Jersey will fairly in
ve>tigate the charge, and punish the criminal if
legally convicted. If any citizen OF New jersey
be guilty of the high crime of treason, let him
be punished; but his guilt should be established
by the same judicial means that the law awards
to the meaneSt Gu prit.
Whatever legal and constitutional rights are
vested in the Exc, utive of New jersey, for the
prot ction of The lawful rights of the citizens of

t cannot be that these arbitrary arrests of citi-
zens, without due process, and imprisonment be-
yOnd the jurisdiction, legalized by virtue OF
authority emlnatlng from any civil magistrate.
Neither can the, be justified because of any power
flowing from Il military commander: for the per-
