THE PROSPECT.

THE PROSPECT
The Memphis Appeal speaking of the
prospects before US very truly says, the
outrages and cruelty of the Federals,
wherever they have set their feet, have
exasperated the people and intensified
their hatred to Yankee rule and the
Lincoln government. Among:all classes
and in all sections the determination,
with old land young, is growing either
to survive the warssn independent free
man or seek a soldiers grave in free.
dom's holy cause. sMcn who have been
Indifferent and lukewarm heretofore are
so no longer. Many of them have been
taught by sad'experiencesthat robbery
and degradation is their doom IT they
remain passiveiand inactive, and hence
they have an additional stimulus to that
Of native patriotism to aid and encour-
age the good cause in which the country
is engaged.
Another most epcouragingindcat:on
is the rapidly with which the ranks OF
our decima.el regiments are being fill
ed up under tho operation of the con-
scription act, as. well as by thosc-,w
are not subject to that law. The whole
country is thoroughly aro1sed to tho
Importance of the crisis, and we have
every reason to believe that by the first
of next month we shall have an army in
the i6eld such, in point of numbers,
courage and prowess, as has not. been
mustered in modern times.
Such indications are indeed encourag.
ing, and augur well for glorious future
for our country aud our cause. On the
other hand the war is growing burthcn,
some and most unpopular with a very
large mass of the Northern people
Recruiting there, since the reverses be-
fore Richmond is tedious and slow,
circumstance that should be taken all
vantage OF by our people. Dispirited
as the Northern troops are, blow can
be struck by us now with. double the
effect and efficiency that it can probably
a month. .hence. A vigorous advance OF
our divisions just at this time, may save
thousands of lives and rivers of blood.
Now is the time to swell our armies
and enable then. to move forward with
crushing power upon the waverIng and
half dlscomftted foe. Let our people
at once comprehend and appreciate the
necessity OF aiding an strengthening
our generals in the field, and the time is
not distant when every foot of Southern
soil shall be freed from the polluting
tread of Yankee or Hessan invader.
The people en- nlassc have only to will
| it and the thing is done. And now too
is the time to do the work, before the
rigors of winter shalt have set in upon
us. A vigorous uprising now will not
only save thousands of lives and millions
of money, but what is dearer than all,
it will secure TO us and our posterity,
the blessings of liberty and our national
independence. Then can we rest Gun.
