THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT

General Mcclellan evidently knows that
throughout these southern states this work
OF disintegration is going on be feels that
the victory is coming to our standards
that we are advancing to certain triumph
The South is growing weaker and weaker /;
the North becomes stronger and stronger.
The resources of the South are being raps
idly exhausted the resources OF the North
are being developed and increased by COM
merce and agriculture. Jefferson Davis
sends message to bis Congress to ask re-
lief for Charleston, and the Congress gen.
erously votes $25OO0O with more ostenta
ton than the Federal Congress exhibits in
dispensing its millions. Every indication
coming from the South shows want, des
pair, and misery. With suffocated com
merce, false currency, burning crops in
the Carolinas with the dread of servile in.
surrections, not to speak of the incensed
Indian tribes, who may avenge their be-
trayal and the injustice of their chiefs by
an indiscriminate massacre, where can the
rebellion possibly lead?
Therefore, are we not reaping victory ?
Is this contest not becoming rapidly decis-
i've? When the army OF the Potomac
moves, may it not be as an army ofpursuit?
With Sherman at Savannah, Dupont at
Charleston, Buell. at Nashville, and Hal.
leck at Memphis, how long will it be until
Mcclellan is in Richmond?
