Aggressive Movement.

We look forward with eager anticipations TO the
time when the North shall no longer be permitted
to carry on a bloody and brutal invasion of the
South, and at the same Hmc escape all the perils
hardships and Inconvenience Of war. 1t is very
fine fun to Ohio New York, Pennsylvania, etc, to
send off that part of their population which en-
dangers their own quiet, for the purpose of deu-
gng distant delts in innocent blood, and lighting
up the sky with the fires of dwellings and cities
but it Will be supreme folly in the South to submit
o the nactng of such evils without an attempt at
retaliation This war ought not TO close, and we
believe will not close till the free States have been
made to suffer all that Virginia has endured. On the
score of policy, not less than Justice we hope to
see fire and sword carried with fierce and reent-
less hand into the midst of those communities
which have raised armies for the avowed purpose,
not only of boodshed but the raping of women,
the spoilation of property, and universal emanci-
patton. We have no belief that peace can be Sc
cured by confirming arms to self-defense. The
cities of the free States will afford even better
sacking than the enemy anticipated in hichmond,
and the fertile plains of Ohio enable an army to
support itself with great ease If the Ohio troops
have been able TO penetrate the mountains of Vir-
ginia, we must be lower even than swine in the

end to end the level lands of Ohio, and compen-
