, we feel assured that he means all that he says, and that he will be as inflexible in the execution of his duty as he is humane and merciful in seeking to avoid the terrible necessity. We therefore earnestly entreat all the class whom he addresses to avail themselves of this last offer of pardon, and to return to the standards which they once illustrated by their valor, and to the comrades who are ready to welcome them once more to their side. The most discontented must, now see that Lincoln is only aiming at the complete subjugation and ruin of their native land; at the elevation of the negro to an equality with themselves, and compelling them to fight longer and more dreadful wars against France and England than they will ever be called upon to fight under the Confederate flag. No one pretends to deny or to doubt; no Yankee hesitates to avow that, as soon as the United States succeeds in putting down "the rebellion," it will drive France from Mexico and England from Canada.

General Lee's last appeal. We invoke all good citizens, wherever it is in their power, to place before deserters and absentees from the army the last appeal that General Lee will ever make to them, to return to their duty and resume their place under the flag.--It will be seen that a full and free pardon is now offered to allGeneral Lee will ever make to them, to return to their duty and resume their place under the flag.--It will be seen that a full and free pardon is now offered to all who will come back within the specified time, but that thenceforth no pardons will be granted either to those who refuse the present offer or to those who are hereafter guilty of desertion. We are sure that General Lee must deeply deplore the necessity of such a determination. No man has a kinder and more benevolent heart; no ofGeneral Lee must deeply deplore the necessity of such a determination. No man has a kinder and more benevolent heart; no official, civil or military, has a more honest and profound sympathy with the private soldier. He feels their suffering as his own; and they are well aware of the fact. Indeed, his tenderness to those under his command has been regarded by some as the only defect in his military character. For our part, we honor him for it, but wh

pended? Have they not over and over again referred to the examples of Jamaica, St. Domingo and other West India islands, as evidences of the ruin which slave emancipation brings upon the agricultural and industrial interests of a country? Slavery is now abolished by their own Government throughout the United States, and we would like the Northern Conservatives to tell us why the results of such a measure, if it could be carried out, would be different in the Southern States from the West India islands? They must now perceive, if they are not willfully blind, that whilst, before the late abolition legislation of Congress, the re-establishment of the old Government was of vital importance to Northern commercial interests, its re-establishment now could only have the effect upon those interests that the abolition of negro slavery has produced in all other parts of the world. Cotton, rice and sugar cannot be cultivated except by negro labor, and negro labor, especially the labor of su

the suppression of the rebellion, and that internal peace and stability will follow the re-establishment of the old Government.
