General Lee had many objections to the
rebel Presidents plan. He admitted the
argument about recognition. but insisted
there were difficulties in the way OF saccess
which could not be surmonnte1. In the
first place. he presented the fact that rebel
army Of one hundred thousand men would
have to carry its supplies some two hun

country; and the transportation necessary
was not to be had; besides, had they the
means at command, the progress of the ar

trains, it would be impossible to succeed.
Secondly. itwonld take twenty days under
any circumstances, to advance to Wheel

confront him with an equal number OF
troops; and thirdly. he might succeed in

would turn Grants left flank, and, il the
latter did not then fall back from Chatta.

Rebel Refugees.

An unusual number Of refugees from
the South are entering our lines in order
to escape the rebel couscription. They
state that on the night after the passage of
the act conscripting all persons liable to
do military duty, ninety refugees were
caught by the rebel pickets along the
Chickahominy. These were given q pass
for thirty days. with orders to report At
the expiration of that timc for duty.
Fears are entertained in Richmond of an
insurrection on the part Of this class, and
the rebel authorities will not allow more
than 500 conscnpts to accumulate at camp
near Richmond from apprehension Of such
an ttempt. Bands are being orgsnizcd
in many parts of the South for the pur-
pose of resisting the conscription.

the rank aad file of Johnston's army; we
have no means of knowing. Its arraign-

ar THE ADDRESS. 81 ~
Fellow Soldiers of the Army of Ten
nesseee! Three years ago we were called
upon to volunteer in the Confederate army
for q term of Mree. years; and we all nobly
responded to the call, with the express un-
derstanding that we were to be discharged
as soon as our term of service expired
We were faithfully assared by all Of our Of
icials that such course would be pursued.
The Secretary of War proclaimed that
those who volunteered for 'three years or
during the war; would have to be dis
discharged from the army at the end Of
three years. But to our utter surprise. we
are now told that we mast be coSscRIPTED
and FORCED to enter the army for. another
term of three years! Oar feelings are not
to be consulted-wE MUST BE coNscRIrrED!
Was such thing ever heard of before?
Do the apnals of war furnish a single In
stance of volunteer soldiers being forced
to continue in the service after the expira-
ton Of their term of service. Surely not!
II we search the history Of the world, from
the days of Adam down to the present, we
will find that in every instance volunteer
soldier was discharged as soon as his term
of service expired, unless he. of his own
accord, re-enlisted IS a volunteer; and are
we Americans. once the boast and pride of
the world-ARE WE to be treated worse
than the heathen Of the dark ages Of the
world treated their soldiers? Are zoe to
be made the worst slaves known 10 the
world? And are zoe to be made the laugh
ing stock of the world?
FELLOW SOLDIERS! is it not clear to ev-
cry rational mind that our pompous and
merciless rulers are daily stealing a~oy our
