u8 at least indulge the hope that there is some
efficacy i'll grateful prisons to God. We exist
| strange and unaccountabe existence. From the
very strangcncss of the fact lei US gather the en-.
couragcment that the God Of Battles must exert
protection over us.
We are in the throes Of a mighty reTolution-a
revolution which charge upon the oppression
of the North, which the North charges blindly in
! turn upon the supposed Reasonable character Of
| secession. We aroused fearfully aroused by
invasion; the North is blinded by a mistaken idea
OF the force of the "stars and stripes" ignorance
| OF our resources, desire for plunder under the
| captivating cry Of beauty and booty" and Oh
the part OF the low merCenaries who mainly COM
| pose their armies, a dreamy speculation of ap-
propriating our lands and our very daughters for
the qualification Of their thrBt for robbery and de-
| bauCh.
| Wars now are not what they used to be. As
science has advanced, the organization of nechan-
| ical ingenuity has developed the organization of
| the appliances Of warfare, till contending thou
sands of the present are like the opposing millions
| in the times Of Alexander and XcrXes. Let us
then be prepared for a mighty struggle, and let
our citizens at home and our armies the field
| have high trust in protecting Divinity.
