Address from Gen. Floyd to his army. The following patriotic address has been issued by Gen. Floyd to his army: General order no.-- Headquarters Army of Kanawha, Camp near Dublin Depot, December 26th, 1861.

Floyd to his army: General order no.-- Headquarters Army of Kanawha, Camp near Dublin Depot, December 26th, 1861. Soldiers of the Army of the Kanawha: The campaign in the Western portion of this State is now, as far as you are concerned, ended. At its close you can review it with pride and satisfaction. You first encountered the enemy five months since on his unobstructed march into the interior of the State. From that time until recalled from the field, you were engaged in perpetual warfare with him. Hard contested battles and skirmishes ng not only your freedom, your property, and your lives, but the fate of political liberty everywhere. Remembering this and relying upon Him who controls the destinies of nations, as of individuals, you need not fear the result. By order. Brig.-General John B. Floyd. H. B.

You first encountered the enemy five months since on his unobstructed march into the interior of the State. From that time until recalled from the field, you were engaged in perpetual warfare with him. Hard contested battles and skirmishes were matters of almost daily occurrence. Nor is it to be forgotten that laborious and arduous marches by day and by night were necessary, not only as furnishing you the opportunity of fighting there, but of baffling the foe at different points upon the march of invasion. And it is a fact which entitle you to the warm congratulations

n her hour of peril, appeals to Virginia, her mother, and to her sisters, for succor. This appeal is not unheeded by their gallant sons. The foot of the oppressor is upon her. Trusting in the cause of justice, we go to her relief, and with the help of Him who is its author, we will do our part in hurling back and chastising the oppressor who is desecrating her soil. Soldiers your country — your friends whom you leave behind you — will expect you, in your new field of labor, to do your duty. Remember that the eyes of the country are upon you, and that upon your action, in part, depends the result of the greatest struggle the world ever saw, involving not only your freedom, your property, and your lives, but the fate of political liberty everywhere. Remembering this and relying upon Him who controls the destinies of nations, as of individuals, you need not fear the result. By order. Brig.-General John B. Floyd. H. B.

If Yankees were not so notoriously bloodthirsty, we have yet a scheme in reserve, which we would submit to the "prominent members." In doing so, we betray confidence, but we feel justified by the occasion.--A great English astronomer has made discoveries through the great telescope of the Earl of Ross, which throw all others — even there revealed by Lock twenty-five years ago — into the shade. He has found that there are magnificent cotton lands in the moon, and not a Choctaw or a Chickasaw anywhere near.

em out to the "prominent members of Congress," that being forewarned they may be forearmed; 1st, There is a man named Sterling Price living out in Missouri on the line of this railroad, who will be sure to object to it, and, if not summarily deal witSome time ago a body of Federal troops were attempting to get to Arkansas through this very Springfield, when this fellow Price fell in with them there, and cut them into ribands. We are not sure that what were left of them are done running yet.--Nefore the "prominent members" can start the first cargo to the promised land of cotton and glory. Now it is certain that Price will raise his sack against this scheme, wise as it is; and as he has something like fifty thousand men at his back and call, and is a desperate fighter, there is a chance that he may cause trouble. In the second place, after disposing of Price, it is but too probable that the Choctaws and Chickasaws may not be willing to give up their lands at the bidding of "promin

in other words, the negroes they have stolen from Southern plantations. They are utterly at a loss what to do with them. They cannot send them to Liberia, for Liberia has set up for herself and will soon have an Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of her vim at the Court of the White House, and her consent must be obtained before so many lazy, ignorant vagabonds can be packed, upon her. They cannot turn them loose in Capt of or South America, for they own no land there, and John Bull, backed by France and Spain, is determined that the "area of freedom," shall not be enlarged in that direction. They will not let them settle in Yankeedom, for of all things in nature, a negro is most detestable to a Yankee. In this dilemma, "certain prominent members of Congress," as we are assured by that mirror of truth, the Washington Star, are coming forward to solve the difficulty. "They are considering," says the Star, "a new proposition for the solution of the 'contraband' quest

e one. "They take the ground," says the Star, "that the Indian territory west of Louisiana and Arkansas was ceded to the United States by treaty, and on certain conditions." The Indians having violated the treaties and spurned the obligations, it is proposed by these long-headed Congressmen to occupy their territory and put the contrabands in possession of it. The plantations of the Choctaws and Chickasaws alone, the Star tells us, could fully supply the American mills the first year, and, as Cuff is famous for making cotton only when he is compelled, a system of apprenticeship is to be established, to take the labor that is in him out of him. "The country is approached," it seems, "from St. Louis through Springfield, a distance of three hundred miles." "The remainder of the railroad from Rolla to Fort Smith can be completed in twelve months." "The county thus reverting to the Government embrace the vallies of the Red, Arkansas, and other rivers, and contains 20,000,000 acres of unsur

We can put the "prominent members" on a better. Let them drive out the whites from Louisiana and Mississippi, and plant the "contrabands" there. They will only have to walk-over the bodies of some hundred and fifty thousand men; and, to a bloodthirsty Bull Trotter this would hardly furnish food for a breakfast.
