In compliance with the request of Congress, contamed fm the resolutions passed on the fourth day of the present month, T invoke your attention to the present condition and future prospects of our country, and to the duties which patriotism imposes on us all durmg this great Straggle for our homes and our liberties, These resolu- tions are in the flowing language. [Here fellows sundry resolutions passed by the rebe) Congress, requesting Mr. Davis to issue an address, } Fully concurring in te views thus expressed by Con- gress, I confidently appeal to your love of country for aid unaided, we have met and overthrown the most formida bie combinations of naval and military armaments that the lust of conquest ever gathered together for the con- quest of a free people.

With such & contest before us there is talons danger which the government of your choice regards with apprehension and to avert thie dunger it appeals to the never failing patriotiam ard it which you bave exni- bited since the beginning of the war. The very unfavorable season, the protracted drouths of last year, reduced the harvesteon which far below an average yield, and the deficiency wai unfortunately, stili more marked in the nortbern partof our confederacy, where supplies were specially Deeded for the army. If, through @ confidence i an early peace, which may prove de! , our fields should Bow be devoted to the production of cottos and tobacco, instead of grain and live stock and other articles neces- sary for the subsintence of the people and army, the con- requences may prove serious, if not disastrous, expe. cially should this present season prove as unfavorabo ae the last. Your country, therefore, appeals to you to lay aside all thought of gain, and to devote yourselves to securing your liberties, without which these gains would be valueless. It is true that the wheat harvest in the more Southern States which will be gathered nex month promises an abundant yield; but even if this pro- mise be fulfilled the diticulties of traneportation, en hanced as it has been by an an northern portions of the confederacy BO uneasiness may be felt in bread for men.
