We conceive the strategica line from which TO make
successful developement of military force against the
South, is that which will from Cumberland Gap TO
Chattanooga Tenn and its occupancy by force unassai
abo from its strength is the prime object Of the federal
government.
Richmond never a point of military Importance,

(the gallant Major Anderson Of Fort Sumter fnme) is

great line in question. That would be calamity
tho South and in tho end TO the North ALSO or IL would

Is II asked why the OF this line from Cubar
land Gap of such stratecal Importance We answer
because it divides the connections Of tho parts Of tho

whemed by vastly superior force to any H. by lis

East Tennessee will revolt against the State

Of John Carlisle Co played in Western Virginia of
setting upa bogus State government, would be played
