Our information respecting the battle
near Cedar Creek, on Wednesday last, as
sures us that one of the most brilliant vic.
tories of the war had been gained by our
troops, bnt thatin an evil hour, when . sgpor-
ton Of our men were plundering the prop.
erty they had captured, asmall force Of
Yankee cavalry appeared on our left flank,
the plunderers took, fright, and the words,
owe are aanked !" passed rapidly along the
line, the left gave way, aud the rest follow
ed, panic-strioken and demoralized, in a
moment. The enemy &, infantry before them
was 10 no condition, and zwe4were without
the. disposition, :.after their defeat of the
morning, to attack, and, when. the panic
seized upon onr men, were entirely innocent
of being so much as acoomplices to the fact.
The victory Of The enemy, ifFsuch an affair
can be, digni6ed with a name which sug-
gests the clash Of arms and the; glory Of q
gallant conflict, was achieved solely by q
small and Insignificant band Of cavalry,
which had doubtless accidentally gotten on
our flank, and might have been captured.
Itwasa great scare, which .resulted in a
great. temporary, disaster toz&the morale of
the army, the loss of twenty three pieces Of
artillery and few, ,ssragglera. In the whole
days operations our losses in killed, wound:
ed and missing-did not exceed eleven
hundred. The enemy admit q loss of FIVE
thousand. The story heralded in the North,

patriotic address of Gen. Beauregard, de.
livered on taking command of this depart.

HD'oRs MILITARY Div. OF THE West, /
October 18th, 1854. Z
In assuming command, at this critical
juncture, of the Military Division of the
West, Itsppeal to my eountrynen of all
classes and SECTIONS, for their generous sup
port and confidence. sss~E &, ), :,
In assigning me to this responsible posi-
tion, the President of the Confederate
States has extended to me- the assurance of
his earnest support ;the Executives Of your
States meet me with similar expressions Of
their devotion to our cause ; the noble army
in the field, composed of brave men and
gallant officers, are no strangers to me, and
I know that they will do all that patriots
can achieve.
Thebistory of the past as written in the
blood Of their comrades but foreshadows
the glorious future which lies before them.
Inspired by these bright promises of sue
cess, I make this appeal to the men and
women of my country, to lend me the aid
of their earnest and cordial oo-operation.-
Unable to join in the bloody conflicts of the
field, they can do much to strengthen our
cause, fill up our ranks, encourage our sol.
diers, inspire confidence, dispel gloom and
thus hasten on the day of our final success
and deliverance. - = 49,.
The army of Sherman still defantly holds
the city Of Atlanta, he can and must be
driven from it. It's only for the good peo-
pie of Georgia and surrounding States to
speak the word, and the work is done.
We have abundance Of, provisions, and
there are men enough in the country, liable
and able for service to accomplish the result.
To all such, 1 earnestly appeal to report,
promptly to their respective commands, and
let those who cannot go, see to it that none
remain at home who are able to strike a
blow in this critical and decisive hour,
To those soldiers of the army, who are
absent from their commands without leave,

the dangers of the battlefield, to return at

port. to their respective commands in re,
sponse to this appeal, within the .neSt thir.
ty days, an amnesty is hereby granted. :,
My appeal is to every one, of all classes
and conditions, to come forward freely,
cheerfully, and with good heart to the
work that lies before US. =. :.
