straining every nerve to do this all the
Yankees, all the foreigners, all the nc
groes, that he can bring into the field, he
is marshalling, with an utter indifference
to human life, under the butchers which
command them. TO meet this increased
exertion, these swelling numbers of the
invader. our own Gov eminent has called
upon the people to rally to the assist

mics, which have for so many months
held him.at bay They are respoh'"s

Should not every true-hearted man, as he
marches to the field, derive cheerlulaess
and confidence from the very measures
which call him theieg ellie sees that the
Government is in earnest, and deter
mined to save the country. He sees that
such exer,ions, on our part, are neces
sary. because the enemy is making
Greater efforts for our subiugation' than
at anv time since the war began
Therefore, instead of being dispirited
because our Government is putting forth
its own strength with more vigor than
ever. he is cheered and gladdened To
remain passive, to make not a single
effort more than has been made, while
the enemy is concentrating all his vast
resources, with unparalleled energy and
malgnity, against us, would be suicidal
and imbecile, if not treacherous. To
meet the occasion like men is the only way
for the Government to acquit itself with
good faith to the country-to rally to tile
public defence with alacrity and courage
the only manner in which the citizen
can discharge the solemn duty to his
country which is next in dignity to his
duty to God. Then these proceedings

States since the war; triumph by the
exertion of the national strength proper
Tomato to the emergency. They tell us
that we are not to be subjugated, and
hey will once more impress upon the
enemy the same undying truth which,
With faulty unaccountable, he has so

WE invite the attention of the South
ern press to the circular of the President
of the Mutual Press Association formed
in this city. The simplicity and equality
of its system commcnds it to the press
generally. Its advantages are 60 con
cisely and plainly stated in the circular,
that we need add nothing to whatit says
To the Press Of the Southern Csntelvacy:
RIcHMoND, Va, October 6, 1851
Gentlemen: Because of the dissatisfaction gene
rally existing with the Geographic news Of the
Southern Press Association and the unnecessa-
rily heavy expenditures thereby entailed the pro-
petors Of the various newspapers, four Of the daily
press Of this ciy-thc E"qsHrer, Sentinel, }ranzi-
ner and Dispotch-have dissolved their connection
with the same and formed g Mutual Benefit Press
Association in which they invite their brethren OF
the Southern press to JON them.
The plan of this organization Is DESIGNED to
be economical one; and as its members are to be
The NEws REPORTERS, its reports expected to he
not only reliable, but unencumbered with useless
rerbiage and unimportant intelligence.
BY the request Of our Directory, / have opened a
correspondence with DR.. w. s. MORRIS, the Presi-
dent Of the Southern Telegraph Company. as to
what will be the charges made against the members
Of this Association for "aetS orcr the uires :" and
with his usual promptness we'll as hberalitv to the
Press, he responds, that "ate this month will
send oil Press Communications, ~herecer they Haog
emanafe on our lines, to any Editor or Proprietor,
Of DAILY Paper, intended for publication, on ON.
lines, at half the usual rates.
Thus it will be seen, that while the entire press of
the South Is put upon the same footing by DIR. Nor
MS, as regards ctre rent the mutual Association"
Will be enabled to save the, enormous expense Of
travelling agents, reporters, horses circular printing
and other incdentals, which foim part and parcel
of the cumbrous machine which all have heretofore
sustained.
The press of Richmond, as n contribution to the
general cause, have appointed an intelligent ener-
getic and efficient agent, at tfea 0Wn ereense to
collect official and other news for then an ntell-
gible synopsis OF which he will send regularly to all
members OF this Association, without charge for lis
libors.
In cities, where two papers are published,
the editors can readily appoint of their number
to receive and forward news-and thus the entire
Association can work tremendously and economi-
cally, and at the time relieve the telegraph
wires (which are often heavily pressed with Govern
ment work OF vast quantity of superiuous labor
Having thus briefly stated the object OF the new
Association, and the reasons which actuated its Or
We now cordially invite our brethren Of
the Press throughout the Southern Confederacy to
join US, assuring them that we will spare no efforts
to make it whatit purports to be, "NutaaI Benefit
Press AssociGtiois"
