their payment is doubtful These are spectators,

I'VE must Invade The North and Elect
Mcclellan"

So said Joh. Davis in speech modc at Augusta
on the 3d iusDr which is reported in the Augusta
CoNSttqhooiat as follows;
We must do our duty and that duty is this -
Every man able to bear arms must 20 to the front,
and all others must devote themselves To the cause
at home. There must be no pleading for excmp-
ton. We are lighting for existence and by fight
ing alone can independence be gained. Georgia is
now invaded. She is calling for succor and he who
from Alabama, from Mississippi, from South Caro-
liun ru,hc, to aid hcr-strikes when he strikes for
hor-u blow for his own home and family. Our
Confederate States must lean upon the other for
mutual support. We are, us the poet has said
"Dsnct the billows, yet one as tho sea"
One party must rush to the support OF the other.
We must beat Sherman we must march into Ten
nc-sco-thcrc we will draw 10000 to 900 to our
standard, and SO strengthened, we must push the
enemy back to the banks Of the Ohio and thus give
the peace party Of the North an accrction no puny
editorial can give.
The Tennessee McClcllanitcs must be looking
with profound anxiety for this odd arrival of South
orn voters, TO help the failing cause of the Grave
Digger Of the Chickohominy.

strong position at Bulls Gap, gives Gen Vaughn II

their present lines, an indication that Upper East

The three following gentlemen conclude Il long

They are probably the three gentlemen that got up
the ticket and as such have right to withdraw it,
and the more so since most of the the ticket
utterly refuse 10 se,'rc. We regret the withdrawal
of the ticket, as it will give the few Mcclellan men
in the State an excuse for not showing their hands

of what is set forth aboye-in view of the fact that
our people are overuwcd by military power the laws

of the fact that We have appealed in vain to the
President whose duty it is to see that the laws be
faithfully executed, and that those who act by his

There are gangs of thieves and robbcr, here, Of

Arming the Blacks South.

The rebel papers are unanimous in their advocacy
of the policy of arming the negroes and bringing
them into this fight Three hundred thousand
slave, are to be armed for the spring campaign, and
are to receive their freedom and fifty acres of land,
on the condition that they fight well.
This is coming to the point we desire to see reach

to pay in? Perhaps they intend to give the slaves
the lands of Union men. They will have good
time in acquiring the title to these lands.
