Virginia voted largely for the Union, and
she has been subduod. Poor old imbecilel-
"Pity tho sorrows Of poor old man." Ten
nessee voted sixty thousand majority for the
Union, and she has been tramplcd under tho
feet of tho invader. Missouri voted forty
thou'and majority for the Union, and her soil
is crimsoned with the blood of her sons, shed
by the invading foe, who are trying to coerce
her out Of hor allegiance, and mako her pay
tribute to usurper md tyrant. Can't you

How often have you heard the threat, that
''in few weeks you will be driven from your
country" Who made these threats you all
know. They left their wives and children
here, plainly showing that their confidence In
their return was unboundod. Some of them
have invaded Camp Chase, Camp Morton, Fort
Lafayette, etc., and some are trying to slip
back among us. They would drive us from
our country for being true to our country. If
such dire calamity should ever befall you, be
sure to make the sympathzers go first. In an
address to the people of Georgia, signed by
Howell Cobb, Il. Looms, NJ. j. Crawford, and
others, they advise and urge their robbers now

that to kill our wives and children. A class Of
men who have returned from the South lately,
say that they went to the South to collect what
was owing to them, and that they have not
aided tho enemy. But look at their course
here amongst us. They are advocating tho
cause of the enemy-adhering to the enemy in

and they expect us to protect them until their
allies get here to give us hell. If l am not
