EXTRAORDINARY ADDRESS FROM
SOUTHERN SOLDIERS.
THEY BEFOTE TO BE FORCED TO BE-EHTEB
TljCB BBBVICB.
[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

of us could whip ten Xanhe.es; that Vicksburg could

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

FROM MEMPHIS, VIA ARKANSAS. Ac.
[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:

RAILROAD.
Baltimore, Feb. 3.— The American has re
ceived the following special despatch: >“■
Cumberland, Mi.,' Feb. 3 —Noon.—The
guard of one company of infantry, posted at
Patterson Creek bridge, 8 miles east of Cum
berland, was attacked at half-past one o’clock,
yesterday afternoon, by 500 rebel cavalry, un
der Col.-Rosser, • and, after a spirited resist
ance, in which two of our men were killed and
ten wounded, the greater part of the company
were captured. ■
This accomplished, the rebels set fire to tha.
bridge and, leaving it to destruction, started
off with their prisoners in the direction of
Romney. 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. Kelly,and their anticipated success turned
to a complete rout and discomfiture.
The Baltimore and. Ohio Railroad is now en
tirely clear of the enemy and the foil operation
of the line will be at once resumed. The
weather is clear and cold.
