destined to carry us victorious through
this unnatural and cruel war The largest
producers Of cotton ought to be the first
to subscribe their entire crops. II they
owe debts or if they want money. the
bonds Of the Government can bc readily

house. The next day speeches were
made by Hons. John Gregg aud VIM i

If left to his own choice, he preferred to
enlist in the cause Of his country, and
to raise n thousand Texans to go with
him aud remain in the army until the
close Of the war. This was his choice if
the people would select some one who
would serve them AZ well or better for

or to engage in party strife. He desir.
