A Word with eur Planters.

49,
VS. havefo some time past noted
the feelings and expressions Of our
gallant volunteers, who, one after tue
other have taken up arms and gone
forth to engage the enemy in mortal
combat, in defense Of our rights and
independence. Very many Of these,
so1oe young and others advanced ia
wears, leave behind them comfortable
homes, the motives which have thus
prompted them to pursue this course,
are not those Of gain. but genuine
patriotism. Some OF these brave
sons Of the South NAV have evinced
spirit Of reluctanc.--to the eyes OF
the uninitiated-at enrolling then
names OF railying under the standard
Of the Southern Confrderacy. Let
us unravel at once this seeming mvs-
terry, aud by exposing it to the gaze
of those NEST interested, sec whether
or no. they will step forward and
remedy the cause.
The hardships Of the camp life are
more onerous than many suppose, and
I knowing this, the man unaccustoned
to hardships therefore. weighs well
these facts, and though he is loath to
venture forth, yet hc would readily
seize an opportunity of going to fight
for the independence OF the South
/. were these drawbacks obyiated.
