Davis to his troops, an intimation of which Miss Alice Gray ‘3 bir. J.A. Herne | was given in the telegraphic columns of the MoH ye ips Star yesterday : me Soldiers of the Armies of the Confederate Slates: In the long and bloody war in which your ...Mr. ©. B. Bishop country is engaged you Nave achicyed many noble triumphs. You have won glorious vic- tories over vastly more numerous hosts. You have cheerfully borne privations and toil to which you were unused. You have readily submitted to restraints upon your individual . | will, that the citizen migut better perform his duty to the Siate as a soldier. To all these you * | haye lately added another trinmph—the nonlest of human conquests—a victorfover yourselves. As the time drew near whenyou who first entered the service might well have been ex- pecied to claim relief from yonrarduous labors and restoration to the endearments of home, you haye heeded only the call of your suffering country. Again you come to tender your ser- viees for the public defense—a free offering, which only such patriotism as yours could mske—a triumph worthy of you and of the cause to which you are deyoted. iwouldin vain attempt adequately toexprass the emotions with which I receivec monis!s of confidence and regard which y have recently ndaressed to me. To some of thore first received separate acknowledements were returned; but i! is now apparent that a like generous enthusiasm pervades the whole army, aiid that the only exception to such mag- nanimous lender will be of those who, haying originally enlisted fur the war, cannei dispizy srew their zeal in the public service. It is, thereicre, deemed appropriate, and it is hoped will be equally acceptable, to make a ge acknowledgment, instead of successive sp responses. Would t it were possible tu ren. der my thazks to you in person, and, in the name of our common country, as well as in my own, while pressing the hand of each war-o: veteran, to recognize Ris title to our love, gr ince and adjuiration. vidiers: By your will—for you and the peo ple xre but one—i have been piaced ina position which deva Yrom sharing your dangers, anied you inevery march; with sol has seught to minister to yourevery w: exultation it has marked achievement: nor ‘our ever yet never in the toilsome mareh, in the weary waich, nor in the desperate ulthave you rendered asery 80 dect- sive in results asin the last ¢ highest quahties of devotion and c ch cai adorn the character of the warrior siriot, Alregdy the pulse of the whol+ people beats in unison with yours; already they com- pare your spontaneous and ununimons Offer é | your lives 16r the defense of your country w the halting end reinctant service of. the m: cenaries who are purehaséd by the enemy at the price of higher bounties ihan have hithe been knowm in war. Animated by this trast, they exhibit cheerful confidence and more resolute bearing. Even the murmars of the weak and timid, who shrink from the trials which make stronger and firmer your noble natures, are shamed into silence by the spsc- tacle which you present. Your brave bat‘le cry will ring loud and clear through the land oft the en¢my as well as our own, will silence the vainglorious boastings of their corrupt par- tisaus and their pensioned press, and will do justice to the calumny by which they seek to persuade a deluded people that you are ready to purchase dishonorable safety by degrading submission. Soldiers: The coming spring campaign will open under auspices well calculated to sustain your hopes. Your resolution needed nothing to fortify it. With ranks replenished under the influence of your example, and by the aid of representatives who give earnest of their purpose to add by legislation largely to your sirength, you may welcome the invader with @ confidence justified by the memory of past victories. On the other hand debt, taxation, repetition of heavy drafts, dissensions occa- sioned by the strife for power, ti core pursuit of the spoils of office, by the thirst for the plunder of the public treasury, and above all, the consciousness of @ bad cause, must tell ‘with tearful force upon the overstrained ener- gies of the enemy. is campaign of 1861 must, trom the exhaustion of his resources of men and mosey, be far less formidable — oe of tha lant torn poane, wy] jrod means ‘were used wi bows gality, and with results which are sq; ited by the men- tion of the names of Bhiloks Perryvilies Mur- Ireesboro” and the Chickahominy, Manassas, ¥F redericksburg and Chancellorsville, Soldiers: Assured succets awaits us in our poly sam neele for sarees snd independence, and ervation o! = eirable to honorabie mru, ‘ Ariane ye Ae: sball be reachedy to you, your country’s hope and pride, under Divine vidence, will it be due.
