1.-THE contest in which we are engaged
has assumed magnitude aud ferouity
which makes this demand imperative.
The recent bold adventures of the enemy
demonstrates that his Organization, arlna-
ments aud valOr have been undervaIued;
and his success will stimulate him to at
tempt achievements OF greater daring and
Importance. Besides tho vast columns
which press our frontier lines, he is gath
eriug his armed tlOtillhs to harass our
coasts, destroy our property, and desuIate
our homes. Upon the swollen tide of the
Tennessee river lac has driven his RunboAts
! even within the borders of Alabama, whose
soil has hitherto been spared tue pollution
of his foot prints. Ills immense fleets are
gathering upon her coasts, and thousands
of hired soldiery are preparing for Iu ht-
, tack upon her only seaport city. sG1
