The small barge had landed sixteen men On Wit

when our men on Wilmington, hearing the firing,
came up, and the engagement ensned.

In the present war enough has transpired to
show what terrible execution might be done BY
Confederate partizan soldiers fighting on their own
soil. The names of Morgan, .Ashby, and few
other dashing officers connected with our service,
are words Of terror to the Yankees Of the Western
army. Arecent letter from Nashville states that
the Yankee soldiers are afraid to go out even in
strong numbers, for fear Of being killed or cap
tnred by Jack Morgan and his men. What would
they say and do if there was guerrilla party,
headed by Jack Morgan, at every available point
of their advance into the South?
a We presume that no sane man among US will OBJ
/ ject to the guerrilla mode of warfare upon moral
grounds. Every good Christian in our Confeder-
acy must acknowledge his obligation to cooperate
in the work Of fighting the invader to the best ad
shells our towns without notice to women and
children, fires upon flags Of trnce sent to bury the
dead, and steals eur most valuable property wher-
ever he can find it. [Richmond " Nhig.
