[From the Cincinnati Commercial.] The following address.was procured by me from some rebel soldiers inj Calhoun county, Alabama, a.few days past. I was on secret service for the Government, and was therefore in disguise, and tne rebels gave-me the address, supposing me to be a rebel soldier. There is ho mistake as to its genu ineness 5 rnd -I know that it has circulated to & considerable extent among the dissatisfied rebel soldiers. The following is the address 44 Fellow Soldiers op the Abmt of Tbh lessee ! Three years jago we were called npon to volnnteer in. the Confederate army for_a term nt three years; and we alj nobly responded to the call, with the express understanding that we were to be discharged as soon as [our term of service expired. Indeed, we were faithfully assured by all of onr officials that such a| course would be pursued. The Secretary of proclaimed thattho6e who volunteered for 44 years or during the war, * * would have to be discharged from the army at the end of three years. But, to our utter surprise, we are now told that vfe must be conscripted and I'OHCED to enter the army for another term of three years! Our feelings arc not to be consulted—we MUST BE CONSCRIPTED ! 4 ‘Was such a thing|ever heard of before! Do the annals of war furnish a single instance of volun teer soldiers being forced to continue in the service after the expiration of theirterm of service! Sorely not! If we search the history of the world from the days ot down to the present, we will find that in every instance, a volunteer soldier was discharged as soon as; his term of service expired, unless be, of his own accord, as & volunteer. And are we, -4mcri;a:u, once the boast and pride of the v orld— are we to be treated worse than the heathens of [the dark ages of thewo»-ld treated their soldiers? Are we to be made the vorst slaves ever known to the world! And are icc.to become the laughing-stdck ol the world. 4 ‘Fellow Soldiers ! Is it not clear to everj- Ira tional mind, that our pompousand, merciless rulers are daily stealing away our rights and liberties, aud reducing us to ihe most abjeci slavery ever known ’to tlie world l Aud [shall we cowardly submit to this palpable infringement upon our most sacred rights? We were told that w© must come out to fight for our rights: yet our inhuman leaders are gradually robbing us of every right inherited by nature or transmitted to us by our predecessors/ The Federate did not hesitate to* discharge all their nine months’troops whose term of service expired last summer—they were promptly dis charged, and their places filled up by new levies; and shall we suffer ourselves, to be treated worse than our enemies are treated] No, brave com rades; let’s assert outrights and unflinchingly main tain them ! Ret’s ’shoyv' our beastly rulers that they cannot thus enslave us because we are private sol diers! They have already cunningly led us to the very threshold of destruction; • they have practiced one deception aiVr another upon us; they have told us Zirs— horrible lies— io induce us to become their abject slaves} “Among the innumerable lies promulgated by these unmitigated scamps we call your attention to the following: They [told us that the w£y would not last IJtrs.e months; that foreign re cognize us as an independent people, and help us fight; tbafthe Yankees coultCifot fight; that one of us could whip ten Xanhe.es; that Vicksburg could never be tdken± that j Chattanooga could never be. taken; that'ihe Feaceparty of the North would ycxrce Lincoln to make peace with the South: that we SOLDIERS SHOULD iIE DIECIIABGE AS SOON AS our time expired}' and that we toould not be heavily taxed.

Philadelphia Society for; Promoting Aobiculture. —The stated meeting of this Society was held this morning, Craig Biddle, Esq., Pre sident, in the Chair. The President presented a number of garden seeds from the Agricultural Department at Washington; also the monthly reports oi the condition of the crops in the country, and several copies of the report of the Department for the ye»r 1862; also the catalogue of the Agricultural Col lege of Pennsylvania, An excellent: photograph of an Alderney cow, belonging to Samuel J.Sbarpless, was presented to the Society, and a vote of thanks to Mr. Sharpless was passed. Mr. O. H. Shinn, of Haddonfleld, T. H.Powers and Nathaniel Burt, of this-city, were proposed lor membership. ' The Committee to Audit the Treasurers Report reported the same correct. The balance in the treasury on the Ist of January was $3O 72. A committee was appointed for the purpose of procuring a more suitable room for the meetings of the Society. Dr. McClure, V.S., called the attention of the Society to equinia or glanders now prevailing ex tensively in this region. The disease is very fatal, and there is no chance of a person recovering when attacked. Therefore, said Dr. McC. every horse affected with a discharge from the nostrils must be looked upon with suspicion. The increase of the disease is attributed to the extensive purchase of horpes condemned by the Government. Two cases in which parties who had been attacked by the disease, hadrdied, notwithstanding the efforts of the most eminent Surgeons. Mr. In gersoll said, in referring to a patent {horse shoe which had been exhibited at the last meeting, that in winter time he only corked the toe of the shoes ot his horses, and he found that it worked exceedingly well. Dr. McClure remarked thatMr.lngersoll is right. The corking of the heel is a source of continued annoyance to the borre. The Society then adjourned. The. Quota of the City. —There has always been great anxiety to know what is the exact quota of the city under the late call of the President for trdops, but nobody seemed able to_job ain the de sired information. A committee appointed by a meeting erf thfe representatives of the Ward Bounty Copmnttees waited upon Major Gilbert, Assistant Provost-Marshal General, but he exhibited to them an order prohibiting him from giving any in formationout of his office. He applied to the Pro vost* Marshal General for permission to give the necessary figures, but had received no reply up to last evening. . ; Mr. Henry C.Lea, amember oftheCity Bounty Fund Commission, has obtained from a semi official source, the following as the quota of the Districts: First District. 1,469 Second District. ..1,723 Thhd District .2,129 Total 7,987 With the addition of those required under the call of February 1, the quota will be 13,333 men.

[Correspondence of the Cmcninati.Commercial.] 6aieo, February Ist.—The steamer Mary E. Forsy‘h, Captain Nat. Gun, clerk, from Mem phis on the 3Uth, arrived this evening, with over two hundred cabin passengers, and about five hundred on deck, some of whom were furloughed soldiers. The greater number of these, however, were-refugees trom West Tennessee. The Bulletin has the following from the. officers of the South Western, which arrived from below last eveniig: “We learn that the steamer Li. Lloyd was tired into two days since, thirty miles this side of White liver. A large number of-shots were tired but no one was injured. No harm done. Seven men from the Sohth Western, with their mules and horses, were captured re cently by guerillas near; Bolivar Landing. They were out on a forage expedition, and have not been heard from since. Guerillas are reported quite plenty at various points down the river. They have rarely fired into boats of late, but arefre quently seep* Their presence is reported by the inhabitants. For some weeks past some of the Union men Qf Memphis have been consulting as to the prospect of an early movement* for reorganization in Ten nessee. Much interest has been felt to know the views of Governor Andrew Johnson bn the sub ject,-it being well known that any plan which failed to-command his approval would stand but a slim chan-ce of final success. - Participating in the general impression that ho was the leader whom it would be safe to follow in < such a greoX work as rebuiding the temple of civil Tennessee,, the editor of the Memphis Bulletin addressed Governor Johnson on the sub ject. His reply is of such gratifying character, that yg£*leein it of sufficient importance to lay be fore your readers. It is as follows: Bxjlletie Office, Memphis, Jan. 22.— Eonor* able Andrew.

The employes of the railroad suc ceeded in staying the fire and saved the bridge with only slight damage to it. - . . Gen. Averellwith his command, who had been sent out from Martinsburg by G en. Kelly this morning, overtook the rebels near Spring field, and a severe engagement ensued. The rebels were driven through Springfield, and theßce to and south of Burlington. Many of the rebels were killed and wounded, And our captures are large, including the recovery of our own men, men taken yesterday at Patter son’s Creek, and many horses. - The enemy are making rapid tracks for the back country, pursued by our cavalry. The intended raid on New Creek has been thwarted by Gen. Averell’s quick movements and the other ample arrangements made by Gen.
