WAR ITEMS FROM THE SOUTH.

The Richmond Wig, Of the 9th alt, has the
following;
"IHE DEVOTED BAND."-FmE AND SwoRp.--The
shortest path TO peace is that which carries havoc and
desolation to invaders II Is believed that there
are i've or ten thonsand men in the South ready and
willing to share The fate Of Curtus, and devote them
selves the salvation of their country. Is proposed
that all who willing 20 make this sacrifice shall
arm themselves with a sword, two live shooters, and
a carbne each, and meet on horseback, at some place
10 be designated, convenient for the great work Ia
hand. Fire and sword mus be carried TO the houses
of tbose who visiting those blessings upon their
ghbors. Philadelphia, and even New-York, are rot
beyond the reach OF q long ah1 brave The moral
peole of these cities cannot be better taught the viz
tues of invasion than by the blazing light Of their own
dwellings.
None need apply for admission to g The Devoted
Band" but those who are prepared TO take their life
i'm cir hand and who would indulge not The least
pec,aion Of returning. They dedicate thea lives
10 the destruction OF their enemies. D,..,
All the Southern papers are requested to give this
notice few Insertions.
