the army have contributed to the over.
throw of the Confederacy, of the peace
which now dawns upon on us, must be
Judged by Others, not by us. But that
you have done all that men could do
has been admitted by those in authority /;
but we have right to join in the un-
iversal joy that fills our land because the
war is over and our Government stands
vindicated before the world by the joint
action of the volunteer armies of the
United States. 9#,
To such as remain in the military
service, your General need only remind
you that successes in the past are
due to hard work and discipline, and
that the same work and discipline are
equally importantin the future To such
as go home, he will only say, that our
favored country is so grand SO extensive,
so diversified in climate, soil aad pro-
ductions, that every man may surely find
a home and occupation suited to his
tastes; and none should yield to the
natural impotence sure to result from
our past life Of excitement and adven.
ture. You will be invited to seek new
adventure abroad; but do not yield to the
temptation, ior it will lead only to death
and disappointment.
Your General now bids you all fare.
well, with the full belief that, as in war
you have been goo'l soldiers, so in peace
you will make good citizens; and if,
unfortunately, new war should arise in
our country, Shermans army win be the
first to buckle on the old armor and
come forth To defend and maintain the
Government ofourinheritance and choice

portions of the State. The consequences
OF SUCH vioiency will surely fall heavily
upon those who heedlessly exercise it.
Property unlawfully acquired cannot be
lawfully retained or enjoyed. And a
rigid responsibility will, beyond all doubt
be imprisoned upon those who partici.
pate i'll such conduct. The sanctions
which have been derived from the his.
tory of the people of this State will, I
trust. be quite as potential as .Ile enact.
ments of a positive law. 1t cannot be
that any influences will be sufficiently
strong to lead those who have lived and
prospered, because they respected and
obeyed the laws which were of force,
now to reject the obligations of those
laws and refuse obedience to what thew
command. 1t cannot be that in this
State an armed force has become neces.
sary to protect the rights of property,
whether puolic or private, from the
spoliation of those who are citizens OF
the State. But if, in the presest condi.
ton of the State she has to rely tpon the
respect of her citizens for the preserva.
tion of her fame, it cannot be that such
necessity as is involved in that appeal
will fail to secure for the. State, in whose
behalfit ia made, an earnest aud manly
response from those to whom ii is ad.
dressed. In behalf of the STATE, do
now make this appeal And / call upon
all good men in the State to rePeat that
appeal, and assist me in my Efforts to
make it effectual.

Our work is done, and armed enemies

pleasing duty to recall to mind the
situation Of national affairs, when, but
little more than a year ago, we were
gathered about the twining cliffs OF Look.

wrapped in doubt and uncertainty. Three
armies had come together from distant
fields, with separate histories, yet bound
by one common cause.-the union of our,
country and the perpetuation of the
Government Of our inheritance. There
is no need to recall to your memories

Mountain and Buzzard Rooss Gap, with
the ugly forts Of Dalton behind. We
were in earnest, and paused not for
danger and difficulty, but dashed through
Snake Creek Gap, and fell on Ressacca,

a single road for supplies. Again we,
were not to be held back by any obstacle,
and crossed over and fought four heavy
battles for the possession Of the citadel
Of Atlanta. That was the crisis Of our
history. a doubt still clouded our
future but we solved the problem, and
destroyed Atlanta, struck boldly aoross!,

main arteries of life to our enemy, and

the War Department desired to suppress

made that charge, which he exhibited

was in the hands Of General Grant. 1t
was received by the Secretary of War
May a., at / P, NJ, and its publication
ordered by the. Adjutant General, May

appears to-day in the official gazette.

even-tempered exposition of his move.
ments and reasons therefor, which the
recent letter Of Gen. Sherman led people
TO expect, proves to be mainly an angry
assault upon his brother officers, and is
strongly condemned by the highest and
best military men here. Gen. Sherman
may be gratifed at the publication of
his so-called report, but, lis doing him
irreparable injury. Appropos of this
matter, this evenings Republican signif.
cantly remarks "We have reason to
believe that the Government is in pos
session of letter written by JEFF. Davis
the day after the Sherman-J ohnston
armistice was signed, in which the arch
traitor declares that, while it,did not
grant all that he would have liked, yet
1t was conceding more than he had any
reason to expect, That in his Judgment,
it acknowledge the rebel Government,
gave them authority 70 continue that
Government in the late rebellious States
TO which the rebel soliiers were several.
ly allowed to return and deposit their
arms. And out ci this recognition he
expressed the opinion that the United,
States could be made to pay the rebel
debt" This letter, we believe, win soon,

Of sixty miles an. hour has been reached.
