The following eloquent address of our Generals to the army under their command will excite the patriotic emotions of every Southern reader :

Headquarters Army of the Potomac,
Manassas, July 25th, 1861.

Soldiers of the Confederate States:

One week ago a countless host of men organized into an army, with all the appointments which modern art and practiced skill could devise, invaded the soil of Virginia. Their people sounded their approach with triumphant displays of anticipated victory. Their Generals came in almost royal state; their great Ministers, Senators and women, came to witness the immolation of our army, and the subjugation of our people, and to celebrate the result with wild revelry.
