THE IMPORTANCE OF a SUDDEN
AnVRFGK.

THE IMPORTANCE 0E a SUDDEN
ADVANCE
Every day as well as every indication from
the North, serves to impress upon US not only
the importanee but the absolute necessity of a
formidable forward movement Of our armies and
the repossession Of cur lost ground before the
forces of the enemy shall be strengthened in
overwhelming power by the new lines. There
is no logger any room to doubt that LINCOLN
win very speedily get all the troops he has called
for, and to resist successfully their o%verrunning
our country, viii tax the patriotism as well as
the brsvery and muscle of our people. The
South should, nay must put forth all her avail
able strength and draw upon all her resources to
check the advance of the Northern hordes that
viii be hurled upon US the coming fall.
As yet our people have only had a f~oretaste Of
the troops. The horrors and miseries are yet in
store for them, if the Yankees in redoubled force
srs permitted to march into and infest our c6un-
Try. They threaten to, and if not prevented by
the strong arms Of our brave men, win come
down upon US with overwhelming power, march
ing from the northern border Of the Confederscy
to the Gulfof Mexico. We do not wish to ex-
cite The fears Of our people, but we do wish to
warn them in time, in order that they may pro
vide against the disasters threatened them.
The North has as yet taxed lightly her energies
and her resources, especially her resources in
men, and there is much truth which we may
study to advantage in the following remarks Of
the New York Times. Speaking Of the feeling
and state Of affairs at The North it says
While public enthusiasm is at q low ebb, it is
difficult for US to understand our true position.
1t cannot Tor a moment be denied that we have
been out generated, and met with reverse in
military affairs during the past few months. A
cloud has risen and shed its dark shadows over
our present mot future) prospects. Doubt is
depicted in the c0untenSnces of those formerly
the most sangUine. The army which was so
long " all quiet on the Potonac," is now, as cir
cumsianoes viii admit, all quiet on the james.
Progress is at a stsnd-stil, and the only effort
made IS TO hold our own, - or to guard against
the spring for which the enemy have reeoiied.
We do not for a moment doubt the ability Of
our army to hold At bay the legions of jeff
Davis. The object Of the call for extra troops
is tOpush forward more vigorously the war, and
at once TO crush cut each vestge Of the rebel

greater reason to hope than doubt. Our army
Richmond has been matched with the
strongest force that the rebellion can muster at
any enc point; in short, we know the strength
