thousand Between he aces of IS and 40 now called

disabled from this number, We still have hun.
dred thousand in and preparing for the field. The
slaves of the South will supply with food if every
nan capable of bearing arms should be called to the
field 80
As We draw nothing from abroad, our finances only
concern ourselves and We can thus maintain the value
Of our Currency which would be impossible if the block
ade were rsised.
Let every true Sou;bcruer to-day rest assured that
the South will triumph Caamities may befal us, and
defeat NAV hurl back armies, but we have only to
bear patiently all present and future ills till the North
abaudOns the combat in despair
Il is evident from the sentiment North that the back
bone Of the invasion has been broken, and that the
Southern Conederacy is s; getting into position from
which /, can descry the dawn Of independence in the
d,an; horizon. More battles may have to be fought,
perhaPJ fierce one in the West, but The Anaconda
has begun 70 uncoil himself and will soon lie PROSTATE
and outstretched at our feet
