THE HOME LEGION.


THE HOME LEGION.
Having utterly failed, and Gen. Johnston having sig
nied that he will receive regiment for homo service,
il is incumbent upon tho members and officers OF the
Home Legion to disband and resign and lot new Or
ganiZation be formed, under different auspices which
shat! realize tho expectations formerly entertained OF the
Home Legion. We hope that the officers and prvatcs
OF the late legion will not only resign, but lend all aid in
their power to the formation of the regiment for
shonc service, which Gen Johnston needs. The fedc-
raj prisoners in our midst need to BIO watched and the
magazines TO be guarded This service be DONE
and ought to be done, by the Home Legion But as at
present organized there is responsibility because,
though all the Offices filed, there have been
missions issued, and tho whole thing is farce.
