Military knowledge, strategic SKILL and qucsncss
cfperception necessary in military commander.
Men who do not possess these or the mental capaei
ty to acquire military knowledge readily, ought
never to aspire to the command But necessary as
these are, nothing can compensate in officer for
the lack of cool, personal courage and large stock
of it man who would seek command, or ac-
cept of it under any circumstances who is timid
easily josed, or cowardly, is both fool and knave
The South wants no such craven-hearted poltroons
in its staff, from corporal to the highest officer.
If North Carolina has such among her troops. we are
sure the voice Of her people demands that they
should resign and go home to the plough or some
ching else Our brave old State has no use for a
coward or timid, tremulous bockhead on the field.
If ever men had cause or inducements to play the
part of men fully on the field the Southern people
have it now. Thank God, our brave troops have
shown themselves equal to the hour-at least vast
numbers of them have. Should any of them prove
otherwise than true men-men who will do or die
in any emergency-let them retire to some sequest
cred spot, and never tell it that they were born in
the old North State.
