Southern Women on the War.

The Southern papers publish the follow
ing address from the Southern women to the
Confederate soldiers in the field The ad
dress bears date Montgomery, Alabama, and
is endorsed by several hundred names:
Sodiers-the President, our Congress, the
public press, and your Generals, have told
you their high estimate of your noble devo-
ton in re enstng for the war. We, also,
as your mothers, wives, daughters, sisters and
friends, claim the right to thank YOU. 1t
is the grandest act of the Revolution, and
secures Immortality to all concerned. 1t
wakens anew the enthusiasm with which we
began this struggle for liberty, and removes
all doubt OF its success. Such men in such a
cause cannot be overcome. In the dreari,
ness of camp life you may have sometimes
imagined yourselves forgotten or little cared
for. Counting up your privations and dan-
gers, you may have doubted their full appre-
ciation and tanced that those who stay at
home and risk nothing, while you suffer and
bleed, are more esteemed than yourselves.
We beseech you harbor no such thought
You are constantly in our minds. The wo-
men of the South bestow all their affection
and respect on the heroes who defend them
against a cruel foe In the resolution to aid
you, they are as firm and determined in
their resolution as you are in yours, not to
lay down your arms till Independence is won
When that sacred vow has been accomplish
ed, your reception by us will more than at
test our sincerity. 1t shall also be shown
while the contest goes on, by our efforts to
increase your comforts in the field and to
tighten the burden of our dear ones left at
home. For your stricken country's sake
and ours, be true to our glorious cause
Never turn your back on the flag, nor desert
the ranks Of honor or the post of danger
Men guilty of such intamy sell their blood
and our honor, and give up the Confederacy
to its wicked invaders In after years, from
generation to generation, the black title of
tory and deserter will cling to them, and disl
grace their chidren's children But no stigma
like this will stain you and yours. Patriotic
brave and self sacrificing in time of war; you
will be honored in peace as the saviors of
your country, and the pride and glory of
your country women. We beg you keep
near your hearts the memorials of affection
and respect, and to remember them especial.

Row IN THE ABOLITION CAMP.-We take
the 70 glowing extract from the Nevada Gaz,
cite, a leading Abolition organ in this State.
The editor of the Gazette gives his opinion
of the chief editor of the San Francisco
Flag in the following stye
When the American Flag was established
in San Francisco, the influence Of the Gaz-
cite and its editor were cheerfuly given to
encourage and assist it, When however,
the Flag assumed dctatorial tone toward
The Union party, and began to abuse and
asperse the State Central Committee, and
every prominent Union man who had the
Independence to conscientously disagree
with it, We expressed our disapprobation of
its course, and reprimanded it, as it was our
duty to do. Thereupon the low priced scav
enger who has charge of the libelling depart
ment of the Flag received his orders, and
obeyed by making scurrilous assaults upon
the editor of the Gazette, and then upon its
temporary editors. Shame, if not gratitude,
would have prevented any other hireling
blacklmailer from assailing the private char
acer Of those who had been his benefactors;
but the scrub in question is as devoid of such
sentiments as he is of conscience, honor, or
truth. We denounce the filthy reprobate of
the Flag as a blackguard, liar, a coward
fool and dirty dog. We had intended to
a personal apology to Judge Sidger for his
Infamous assault upon us, and promised not
to repeat it, we let him go for the present,
with a caution to beware in what direction
he exercises his peculiar gift in the future.

most outrageous abuse of the Government, and
