Military Division of the
•West,.
OCTOBER 17, 1864,
lu assuming command at this critical juncture,
of tho Military Division of the West, I appeal to
my country men. of all classes and sections, for thoir
generous support and confidence.
In assigning me to this responsible position, the
President of the Confederate States, has extended
to me the assurance of his earnest support: The
Executives of your States meet me with similar ex
pressions of thoir devot on to our cause : the noble
army in the field, Composed of brave men and gal
la/ t officers, are no strangers to me, and I know
that they will do all that patriots can achieve.
The history of the past, written in the blood of
their comrades, but foreshadows the glorious future
which lies before them. Inspired with these bright
promises of success, I make this appeal to the men
and women of my country, to lend me the aid of
their earnest and cordial co-operation. Unable to
join in tho bloody conflicts of the field, they can do
much to strengthen our cause, fill up our ranks, en
courage our soldiers, inspire confidence, [dispel
gloom and thus hasten en the day of our final suc
cess and deliverance.
The army of Sherman still holds the
city of Atlanta; he can and must be driven from it.
It is only for the good people of Georgia land sur
rounding States to speak the word, and the work
is done.
We have abundance of provisions, and there are
men enough in the country, liable and able for ser
vice to accomplish the result. To. all such, I earn
estly appeal to report promptly to their respective
commands, and let those who cannot go, see to it,
that none remain at home who are able to strike a
blow in this critical and decisive hour.
To those soldiers of tho army, who are absent
from their commands without leave, I appeal in the
name of their brave comrades, with whom they
have in tho past so often shared the privations of
the camp and the dangers of the battlefield, to re
turn at once to their duty. To all such as shall re
port to their respective commands iu response to
this appeal, within the next thirty days, an amnesty
is hereby granted.
My appoal is to every one, of all classes and con
ditions, to come forward freely, cheerfully and with
a good heart, to tho work that lies before us.
My countrymen 1 respond to this call as you have
done in days that have pass, and with the blessings
of a kind and over-ruling Providence, the enemy
shall be driven from your soil, the security of your
wives and daughters, from the insults and the out
rages of a brutal foe, shall be established, soon to
by a permenant and honorable peace.
The claims of home and country, wife and children,
uniting with the demands of honor and patriotism,
summon us to the field; we cannot, dare not, will
not fail to respond.
Full of hope and confidence, I come to join in
your struggle, 'sharing your privations, and with
your brave and! true men, to strike the blow that
shall bring success to our arms, triumph to our
cause, and peace to our country.

The Truth Coming Out. —Yankee journals of the
25th inst. have no intelligence from Sherman. The
Herald says Hood’s movements have been executed'
with such skill that Sherman must attack and whip
him or his lino of communication will be rendered
useless by the proximity of the Confederates to it.
Nherman, it says, has been compelled to leave one
corps in a state of siege in Atlanta, and now has to
go forth to fight Ilood in his own chosen position,—
On the Btb, Ilood was reported one mile below
Lafayette, and Sherman at Villaspn, six miles from
him, Hood, according to Yankee accounts, is be
ing heavily reinforced, including Walker’s division
from the Trans Mississippi.
The Independent Methodist Conference of the
North, before adjourning, adopted a series of reso
lutions declaring that, while war is ineensistant
with Christian principles, yet the only war to'pro
cure permanent peace for the country is by a vig
orous prosecution of the present, war, and nomi
nating Grant and Sherman and Sheridan and Ad
miral Furragut as the only peace ambassadors.
The Southeern Recorder states that some twelve
or fifteen eases of Small Pox have occurred at
Milledgevilß, mostly among negroes, who have
been removed to the outskirts of the city.
, On Friday, October 7th, in the Prize Court at
Philadelphia, the claim made to a portion of the
cargo of the prize steamer Chatham was heard
and dismissed. It was alleged on the part of the
claimant that he was a loyal citizen of Georgia,
and that he had turned his Confederate money into
cotton, and watched an opportunity to put it on
board the Chatham, which ran the blockade. The
decision, adverse to the claim, was made on the
ground that no article of commence can be passed
out of a blockaded port without rendering them
liable to--confiscation.

The Front,
Office of the Montgomey- Mail,
Tuesday, 10 p. u.
The first intelligent account wc have received of
the whereabouts and situation of the Army of Ten
nessee, reaches us through a private letter to a well
known gentleman of this city.
On the 23d ultimo, Hood’s army passed Brooke
vile in North Alabama. At this point it separated
in three columns, all making for the Tennessee
river at three different points—Decatur, Whitesburg
and Gunter’s Landing.
Sherman’s army followed nearly up to the Coosa
river. His advance skirmished with Wheeler’s cav
alry up to the vicinity of Gadsden. Here the Fed
eral commander halted, and then went back, appar
ently non plussed at the movement’s of our array.
By this time it is supposed that the three columns
of our army are safely over the river, and that they
have converged somewhere in the vicinity of Hunts
ville. The general impression is that its future
course will be in the direction of Tuscumbia. Every
thing was progressing favorably arid all were in
confident spirit.
[Correspondence Montgomery Advertiser.]
Latest from the Front.
Jacksonville, Ala., Oct. 30, 1864.
It is currently reported here this morning
that General Hood has captured Decatur and
a large amount of prisoners and stores. An
officer from that vicinity says that the news
is true, and that four thousand Yankees, in
cluding three regiments of negroes, fell into
our hands without the firing of a gun. I have
some doubts about the information, but trust
it may turn out true. It is necessary for Gen.
Hood to seize that point, if he has not already
done so, in order to successfully prosecute his
campaign in Tennessee. He undoubtedly de
signs making that his base of operations.
It is further reported that Gen. Cheatham
was marching upon Huntsville, and believed
that that city has fallen into our hands. Sher
man has .a strong garrison there, which he no
doubt strengthened as soon as our army cross
ed the river. We can hear nothing further
from Gen. Hood’s operations. Communica
tion with it and this point is now attended
with difficulty. He has cut loose from Blue
Mountain and Jacksonville as a base of sup
plies.
Ourcavalry officers immediately in front of
this town appear to be in doubt themselves as
to the force and designs of the enemy on the
Coosa. There is no doubt, however, but that
they are in the neighborhood of Bluff
with infantry, cavalry and artillery. On last
Thursday a force of fifteen hundred cavalry,
under Kilpatrick, advanced to Ladiga, thirteen
miles northeast of this place, and in this coun
ty. They were met by Gen. Ferguson’s brig
ade, and a hard fight of ten hours’ duration
followed. Ferguson finally drove the enemy
from every part of the field and captured his
dead, mortally wounded and three prisoners.
They left twelve of the former on the ground.
In their retreat the enemy took the Rome
road. Subsequent scouting parties failed to
discover any force this side of the Coosa.
Many officers of Gen. Wheeler’s cavalry are
of the opinion that Sherman will send a strong
force down the Selma and Blue Mountain rail
road, and that he is under the impression that
Hood is drawing his supplies over that way.
Gen. Wheeler has received instructions to fall
back in front of such a column should it ad
vance. Nothing would gratify Gen. Hood
more than for Sherman to make such a dispo
sition of any of his army corps, while he is
redeeming Tennessee. My own impression is
that no such expedition will be maue. There
is nothing along that line upon which to sub
sist a force strong enough to make the move
ment successful.
It is further hoped that the Yankee General
will hold on to Atlanta and all other captured
points between there and Chattanooga until
the great battle for Tennessee is fought. If
that is *lone our success is assured. There
was a rumor at Gen. Beauregard's headqur
ters the other day that Atlanta had been cap
tured by Gen. Iverson. i; I hope.” said the
General. ‘-that it is not true, I expect it to he
captured but not now.”
The theory advanced by one of your city
cotemporaries that Corinth and Shiloh are
again to be occupied is whollr untiue. For
that matter, these historic places are already
in our posession. Bat now, as three years
ago. they are of no strategic importance. The
present grand advance has a far deeper mean
ing than that. • DUNLBITH.
Skilled Labor in the Workshops.
There being some misapprehension on the
subject, we take pleasure in calling attention
to the fact that the recent General Orders to
strengthen our armies in the field, do not con
template the withdrawal of skilled or trained *
mechanical labor from the Government work
shops.
-On the contrary, • the policy of the Govern
ment is to attract to the Confederacy and to
retain this valuable element in a nation's-pros
perity. While it is necessary that every able
bodied man should be sent to the front, it is
equally necessary that skilled labor should
be retained in the service of the Government*
We are led to.these remarks from a pre
vailing misapprehension on the subject, and
upon information that steps are in progress to
withdraw permanently from military service
those now in the trenches. .
The zeal and excellent conduct of our me
chsnics in rushing to the front iu the-hour of
danger is worthy of all praise, but that hour
has passed, ;od it is evident to all thinking
men that tin best interests of our cause re
quire their permanent services in the arse
nals and workshops of the Confederacy.
[Richmond Enquirer.
Captured Campaign Documents.
Among the captured property at Strasburg,
which fell into the hands of one of our officers,
was a bag filled with political documents.
One of these was a tract containing the Two
Platforms in parallel columns, and at the bot
tom the following commentary on them :
POINTS or DIFFERENCE.
The rival Platforms just given, differ, as
will be seen, mainly on these points :
1. The Union Platfoirn affirms that the
Union is to be maintained .“by quelling by
force of arms the Rebellion now raging against
its authority ; while the Democratic Platform
condemns the National effort to do this as a
failure, and demands “immediate efforts for a
cessation of hostilities” with a view to “peace
at. the earliest practical moment.” In other
words : The Union Platform looks to the end
ing of the war through the defeat and over
throw of the rebellion, while the Democratic
contemplates peace through the virtual tri
umph of the traitors.
2. The Union Platform regards slavery as
the exciting, guilty cause of the Rebellion'and
demands the suppression of that cause in the
interest of “justice and the national safety.”
The Democratic is silent in terras as to slave
ry ; but manifestly contemplates its perpetua
tion and fortification under the “restored
Union ft longs for.”
3. The Union Platform regards the Rebelion as
flagrantly wrong—iniquitous, inexcusable and
justly exposing its contrivers to punishment. Tho
Democratic, on the other hand, has no word of
condemnation for the treason, nor of reproof for
its authors.
4. The Union platform approves generally aud
heartily the efforts of President Lincoln and his
cabinet to put down tho rebels and save the Re
public. The Democratic, on the other hand con
demns the official action of the President and his
Cabinet most sweepingly ; finding fault with al
most every act as arbitrary, usurping and per
nicious.
5. Wbile the Democratic platform proffers
sympathy to tho soldiers and sailors fighting
against the rowels, it nowhere intimates that the
cause for which they fight is righteous and just.
It censures our own Government for the cruelties
and privations which our captured soldiers have
endured at the hands of the rebels, but it has no
word of -condemnation for their authors. The
Union platform not only returns the thanks of the
American people to our soldiers and sailors, but
proposes a national recognition of their pariotism
and valor, with permanent provision for those
disabled in their country’s service, and efficient
protection for so many as are expeeted to pecu
iiar perns.

Gen. Price. —The Federal account of the defeat
and rout es this brave old warrior, should be ta
ken with many grains of allowance. He may
have been overpowered by superior numbers and
forced to giva way, but it is far more probable
that the report of Confederate disaster is ona of
the multitude of lies with which the Lincoln pa
pers will abound botween this and the election, —
We wager our pocket knife that “Daddy Pries”
is all right, in spite of Yankee despatches to the
contrary.
The Chiougo Times says truly, that if “lying
and electricity will hold out,” the North may ex
pect within the next fourteen days to hear of the
most astounding Yankee military achievements.
It will bo safe iu the meantime not to believe a
word Stanton telegraphs to Dix, or that appears
in a Lincoln paper.— Sav. Rep.
Siege of Charleston—Four Hundred and

Some activity was observed iu the fleet, espe

sels.
The enemy continue busily employed hauling

No increase of vessels iu the fleet is reported.
Three Yankees, a sergeant, and two privates,
who made their escape from the guard some
day last week, were caught Sunday night, in
an open boat, by our pickets, and sent to jail.
They were endeavoring to reach Morris’ Islam!.
Another Yankee, a Lieutenant Selden, who Es

A Daring and Successful Adventure.—
Captain Henry F. Smith, of Marshal coun
ty, and his gallant command, have executed
another of their daring and successful feats.
On Saturday night, the 22d ultimo, they
crossed over the Tennessee river a few miles
below Larkin’s landing, thirty-five strong,
where the notorious tory Capt. Hamlin, -frith
his band of marauders were located, and for*
tified themselves, and from whence they had
made frequent incursions upon the citizens
of the river, stealing, robbing and plunder
ing indiscriminately. They soon reached th«
tory camp, and succeeded -in routing the to
ries, capturing their camps and supplies, killed
eighteen and Captured ten. with twenty-seven
horses, over-coats blankets, and many other
articles of value, all of which were brought
safely to this side of the riser, without the
loss of a man.
At the time of the attack there were over
two hundred of these cowardly dogs in camps
For the want of a sufficient number of men te
invest the place, many of them made their
escape. Hamlin had his clothes pierced with
several builet*. Hod was wounded, but made
his escape. It was the gallant conduct of
such men as Capt Smith and Col. Mead, that
compelled the Yankees to say that Jackson
county had earned her independence.

command of Lieut. Ritchie, encountered a par
ty of bushwhackers south of Clmcky river, un
der the lead of the notorious Calvin Haney.
Lieut. Richie was killed, undone of his men
wounded. Haney was shot to pieces. Lieut.
Ritchie was a hrave and gallant officer.
Advices to the 22d. indicate that the enemy
had found out that there is no force hi his
rear, and has turned on Gen. Vaughn. They
drew up yesterday in line of battle at Mossy
Creek. Previously they had prepared fora
siege at Knoxville, where, according to the
accounts of union men, great excitement, pre
vailed. They still hold Strawberry Plains.
Gen. \ aughn has been skirmishing with
them.
The enemy are running a train from Knox
ville to Newmarket ; but our forces have de-.
stroyed the railroad from thence to Bull’s
Gup.
The enemy below has been reinforced bv
the 10th Michigan and 14th Kentucky Battal
ion of cavalry ; and it is probable they have
also received reinforcements ofinfantry.
Gen. Vaughn, however, is able to meet and
check this demonstration if he is sustained
by the Government His command is effi
cieiTt; but it really needs some attention on
the part of the Government. East Tennessee
is an important strategic point, apart from
other considerations, which should urge its
occupation. We shall endeavor to point out
the importanceot movements in this direction
hereafter.— Petersburg Express:

ANOTHER SUCCESS IN FLORIDA.
The following despatch, dated on Saturday, was
received yesterday morning at Department Head
quarters :
To General Hardee:—Capt. Dickinson yester
day attacked a eavaly force of fort}' men, five
miles from Magnolia, killing and wounding half
of their force, and capturing twenty-three men,
including nine wounded, besides horses, equip
ments, &c.

The. Enemy in Polk County.- We learn that,
the Federal General Kilpatrick, on last Sunday
with a heavy cav-alry foroe, made his headquar
ters two miles from Van Wert, in Polk county, en
the road to Rome ; and that the Yankee cavalry
were foraging all over that county, wlieTe they
were gathering in large quantities of corn. Major
Murkerson, with his battalion, had several skir
mishes with them, and one or two severe fights, in
which, we learn, he proved successful. We have
been promised a detailed account of the gallant
Major’s operations in that section of our State.'
We have been requested, in connection with the
foregoing, to advise the refugees from Polk coun
ty, who designed going home, not by any means
to think of doing so at this time, that county be
ing overrun by Sherman’s cavalry, — lntelligencer.
The War in Kentucky. — Louisville, Oct.
21 The Journal says that the rebel General
Lyon has 500 men under his command, and
tint, his move on the south side of the Cum
berland river, indicates an attempt to strike
the Nashville and Northwestern railroad near
Charlotte.
Four regiments of rebels are reported at
Ceutreville, in Hickman county, but to whose
command they belong is unknown.
Scouts reports that Forrest is again cross
ing the Tennessee river below Florence,'Ala.
A force of 400 rebels was at Owensboro’ on
Friday, and on the same day a guerrilla lea
der calling himself Col. Chencevvorth, was in
Henderson. He had committed but few dep
redations.
It is thought that the several bands of out
laws who are scattered along the Ohio river,
between the mouth of Salt river and Evans
ville, will number 20,000 men.
I The Meeting of the Governors.— The follow
ing, from the Raleigh Standard, shows that the ac
tion of the Governors enjoys the high support of
that paper’s disapprobation :
We publish to-day, from the Augusta Chronicle
and Sentinel, the resolutions adopted by the Gov
ernors at their recent meeting in that city.
These resolutions breathe nothing bu the mo3t
ultra war spirit. We are not and sappointed in them.
They are just what we expected. These Governors,
co-operating as dependents or auxiliaries with the
central government at Richmond, seem determined
j to accept no compromise; but to prosecute the war
I to annihilation, or, at least, at the lowest point of
exhaustion an I ruin.

Systematic Study.—Sir Edward Buiwer
| Lytton, at Bishops Stortford a few da > - ago
observed: “Many persons seeing me so much
engaged in active life, and as much ebon- the
world as if I had never been a student, have
said to me, ‘When do you get the time, to write
all your books ? flow on earth do you con
trive to do so much work V I shall perhaps
surprise you by the answer I make—trie an
swer is this : ‘I contrive to do so much by
never doing much at a time.’ A man. to get
through work well,- must not overwork him
self, for if he do too much 10-day, the reac
tion of fatigue will come, and he will be
obliged to do little to-morrow. Now, since I
began really and earnestly to stud'. which
was not till I had left College and was actu
ally in the world, 1 may perhaps say that I
I have gone through as large a course of gen--
eral reading as most nyjn of my time. 1 have
travelled much—l have mixed much in poli
tics and in the various business of life, and
in addition to all this, I have published some
where above sixty yolumes, some upon sub
jects requiring much special research. And
what time do you think,-as a general rule, I
have devoted to study—to reading and wri- I
ting? Not more than three hours a day. and
when Parliament is sitting notalways that.— j
But, then, during these hours I have given my j
whole attention to what I was about."
The Bayonet Charge.— The Array and Navy
Gazette, Ac., of June 4th, gives the following prac
tical suggestions on that subject. They nay be
useful:
It is a general rule in the service of Her Majesty,
as well as throughout the armies of Europe, that
troops before charging with the bayonet sh mid fire
a volley, in order to throw confusion into the ranks
of the enemy, as well as to cause a smoke f r them
to advance under. The advantage over the present
system would be tenfold, the rear rank alone
to fire, the front rank remaining at the shouldej till
the word charge be given, and then firing from the
hip as they crossed bayonet with, the e- emy.—
Such a fire could but be most cffectii I, tor re
quires neither aim r.or skill of ny ki oi— fact,
nothing but a mere pre*suse on the trigger— to en
sure the result being most deadly, it hei g"in 'ni
possibility rim a bullet can mis-, when me Cos is
notthreefeet from the enemy. When the men fire,
they would be able to act instantaneously afu-r the
volley, and the; fore there would not be sufficient
time lor the gat-s caused by the fire to be.filled up
in the ranks of the enemy, and consequently there
would be a greater certainty of putting them to
confu-ion At present, from the smoke and confu
sion likely to take place at a period imm /J u Iy
preceding a charge, the men are unable to r •: ‘ hat
accurate aim without which ihe rifle i-u
The bayonet would be mimh more efi-’ctiv* -.en

they wiil then be taken care of by tho officers

Blockade Runner Sunk. —On Wednesday
night, of last week the outer blockading vessels off
Charleston suifk a blockado runner trying to
run into the city by the inner channel. She
was a side-wheeler, with two smoke stacks and
two masts. Her masts and smoke stacks are
now visible, but her hull is entirely submerged.
She was sunk at a point on Long Islaud out of
reach of the rebel batteries, and it is probable
she may be raised and portions of her cargo
saved.
The same night the advance picket boats
drove back a steamer which attempted to run
out Several volleys of musketry were unheeded,
but a few rounds from a howitzer on a boat from
the Pawnee caused her to put back in a liurrv.—

The Paris Revue des Deux Mondes says that
an English missionary in Madagascar talks
as follows, in his’effort so discredit the French
missionaries :
’“My good friends,” said be lately to his
Madagascan hearers, “properly speaking, there
are only two religions, the English and Freneh.
But you will say which is best ? The Eng
lish is the one; and for a very simple reason ;
because Jesus Christ was born in England.—
There lie lived, there he preached, and found
ed his church. Many times the French want
ed to get Him among them ; but He never
would go to Paris, preferring to stop in Lon
don. Now you know why our religion is the
best.” -
