Necessitp of VixilaMre,

1t is to be hoped that the wonderful success
Of cur troops in the late grand battle will not
produce the dangerous result of leading to any
relaxation of vigilance or any such contempt
of the enemy as will induce us to omit sin
gle precautionary measure which may be
necessary against most artful, subtle and
malignant foe. The glorious result should in
spire every Southern soldier with the most e.
tire and perfect confidence but that conf
,lsnce should be allied to the most unslaekin &
vigilance and the most untiriDg energy in
preparing for another encounter. To the
Providence of God, blessing our own efforts
and bridging up at the very nick of time the
reinforcements that turned the tide Of battle,
il due our whole success, and upon that, With
our own best efforts, should be our whole re-
lance.
