dships. --Heretofore you have never failed to respond to your General when he has asked a sacrifice at your hands. Relying, upon your gallantry and patriotism, he asks you to add a crowning glory to the wreaths you wear.--Our credit is in your keeping. Your enemy boasts that you are demoralized and retreating before him. Having accomplished our object in driving back his flank movement, let us now turn on his main force and crush it in its fancied security. Your General will lead you. You have but to respond to assure us of a glorious triumph over an insolent foe. I know what your response will be. Trusting in God and the justice of our cause, and nerved by the love of the dear ones at home, failure is impossible, and victory must be ours. [Signed,] Braxton Bragg, General Commanding. Private advices from Shreveport, dated September 3d, have been received. Quiet prevails in Trans-Mississippi. General Magruder is at Houston very sick. It is supposed he will recover.
