gress, before taking its recent hasty leave
of Richmond, and after, refusing to adopt
any of the measures urged by Davis as
requisite to save the rebel cause, issued
an address to the Southern people. 1t
begins by saying they cannot have peace
except by the sacrifice of independence
and property; that confiscation and ex-
termination are the only terms they can
get.1 1t refers to what it regards as
the evils of reunion, and makes an appeal
to Southern manhood; it gives color
ed view of the resources of the South and
calls upon the people to drive into the
ranks again absentees and skulkers. 1t
congratulates the country upon the ap-
pointment of Lee as General-inlUhief,
and apologies for the heavy burden of
taxation they have been obliged TO i'm
pose They believe the people OF, the
United States have become tired OF the
war, and say they can at any time have
peace by abandoning the wicked at
tempt at subugatien Theyrecite again
their grievances under the old Govern
ment, and call upon the people to emit
late the example of the Russians when
Napoleon invaded their territory. They
wind up with strong appeal, saying
success is within their reach, that the
battle is not to the strong, and that the
shades of their martyred heroes hover
over and beckon them on. -
