We dare Say no reader of ours ever ex-
peeted to see these political questions re-
duced to- so sharp an issue as to devolve
all his property and perhaps personal lib
Ferty and life, upon whichever comes up
permost. But he sees it to-day. He

sixty days in which to return "to his al.
Rgiance" to the United States, or forfeit

Pr he returnsa"t to his allegiance his
goods and chattles are already confiscated

"eonfiscated" either way you take It

longer pole to knock down the persim.

there is any other argument needed to

to do the very utmost in his power and
in his sphere to push on the work of self

for stronger one. Let every man know
and be assured that failure in this war is
not only general ruin to the South, but ner.
