IN the attempt.
ResOlvs4 That the Chairman be request
ed TO send copy of these resolutions to
his ExcelleRcY President Davis, to the
Governors of each of the Confederate
States, and also 70 the President Of the
Senate and Speaker of the House of Rep
resentstives, to be laid before their respec-
tive bodies.
On the document, the Richmond Wing
Of Monday, has the following editorial;
The Governors Of several of our States
have been in consultation in Georgia and
have agreed on making number of re-
recommendations TO Congress, to the Con
federate Executive, and to the Legislatures
of the several States, the adoption of which
1t is thought, will promots, the cause in
which each State has so vital an interest.
There does not appear to have been any
discord or diversity of opinion IN this con-
ference; and, indeed it may be said there
IS no difference among our people except
in some matters as to the wisdom with
which the means placed at the disposal of
the authorities are employed. A para
mount question with all is, How can the
power of the Confederacy be most effectu-
ally and successfully used for the defense
and deliverance Of the Confederasy? All
agree that its entire military resources, to
the last man and last dollar, if needed,
must be thrown into the struggle. NoOne
thinks of turning back, or so much as look
ing back, till the work is finished. NUOne
thinks of any adjustment that would COM
promise our Independence or liberty.
Death is the language and purpose of all.
With such resolve animating the whole
body of our people, armies, authorities, and
citizens, subjugation is impossible.
The Richmond Sentinel of the same
date, In editorial on the same subject, sum
up resolutions and says: -
They are an exhibition of spirit proper
sto the high position of the Governors, and
haired by the people throughout the coun-
try that their recommendation Of the use of
slaves is proper, and in accordance with a
growing sentiment among the people; and
that on the whole, this conference of
Governors will be production of much
good
All papers announce that Gen. Lee and
Longstreet were in Richmond on Saturday
and Sunday; on a short visit from Peters
burg and on Sunday they attended Epis-
copal Church with JeffaDavi=.
This would seem to settle disputed
point, as 10 whether Longstreet had COM
manded Early's forces in the valley.
The Baptist state convention of Georgia
sents protest against the conscription of
ministers, and asking for the release of
such as have been put into service, which
is published with the Secretary of Wars
reply, declining to grant the req est on
the ground that there is no law iu it.
The Atlanta Reaistsr of fh'-i i0sn instant
/ mas articles arguing against talk about
there being Monarcbist in theConfederacy,
and about JEFF Davis wishing TO make
himself absolute Dictator.
The Augusta Chronicle of the Goth in
an editorial on Hoods movements, com
pares it to Napoleon's dashing operations
In his first campaign in Italy, and says il
was absolutely necessary for the loose NOR.
ais of the army, and boasts of the aston.
Isbment with which Hood has stricken
Sherman.
The Richmond Enquirer of Monday
closes a long editorial or European affair
thus
No sympathy is left for the civil war in
| America, and the fate Of young people
struggling into existence; but, If We havr
no help to expect from abroad, if oul
brave struggling with adversity is but
dumb show to European eyes and tn
tears of anguish of an outraged nation

of humanity and the brotherhood of ma
tions and even Christian fellowship hsv

other sink exhausted under the burde
their old age enables them no longer

the ashes, in fresh youth and renewe
vigor. Taught by adversely, tried in
furnace of fire, we shall have learned

. fulfil our station among the great nation
of earth.
