AGGRESSIVE WARFARE NECESSARY.
Since the beginning of hostilities On the
Southern States by the Lincoln dcspotis1u. the
lsla1lon5 OF the belljgcrents have very much
eharsGd- Our policy was then defensive
one Necessity chose our position In the con
fiict. We we're without an equipped army.
and in the many essentials Of its Organization
time alone could supply the deficiencies. Dis
elthne was necessary to perfect our soldiers.
Other considerations influenced the course Of
our government. None knew that the war
was to be prosecuted against us in the spirit
Of vandalism, and that suhjugation or ezter~
mination Was to be Its issue The intcrests
OF Europe we're involved in our complications
OF trade. Its commerce WAS to be con,pro-
mifed1 and that By 4 blockade acknowledged
How stands affairs nowe and what Is the
espc1ieacc Of nine months warfare ? We
have patiently submitted to an accumulation
OF gf1cEoEs wrongs, have seen our fires sides
1ayaged and lurid with the torch Of the incen-
diary.; our property stolen and insults and
Injuries Ct a thousand fold nature endured.
we have borne the priyations, too, that the
blockade has imposed upon lis. Is there to be
no Iec6 6onipg made Of all thiss Is lust re-
talllation to be lost sight Of in ill meaus Of
resistance to the barbarous horde thrown
against Us? We answer, never! The burn
Ing indignation, the insu1ted honor of an out
ragged people, Will not be appeased till q bitter
retr1bntion falls On the land Of the oppressor.
10 ayenge our grievances, and to apply the
seourGe inflicted on uE, ours must b. an Of
hhsase as well as defensive warfare. We
lave to purchase peace at the price of our
eountrA's blood; past events have told us
his. Foreign Intervention i: not to aid us !;
1o1mrs can be expected from England and
France; they tell us this. In our own
strength we y: are to batslc With the foe, and &C.
cEIe the liberties Of frccnen. VIC are self
reliant, and expect 10 fight out the destiny
tEat awaits us; our mission is to achieve our
! own independence, and 10 exact from the Lin
| coin dynasty the confession Of its humiiia-
1lon, and The recognition of our Confcderacy.
But to tight raliantls, Ne must give as we'll
| as take blows-plan Is wei as prepare for an
attack a defensive position in any contest
| Is Weakening one. With a border Of thous-
ards OF n1iles it is impossible to defend much
| OF II successfully. The enemy, secure in his
concentrate q large body Of his forces at any
desirable position, and it is taken. Many arc
the advantages certainly lost to us; our weak
MSS at different points is known; we lose the
u peh; OF strategic movements NC give away,
in fact, to the enemy time, place and circur,,..
ftsrces, to operate against our extensive
! frontier.
| - THIS struggle will be prolonged till the
| North feels The horrors Of waffare Teach
them what the desolations Of the tire-sides
mean. Let the dread and danger Of war excite
thtlr quiet houses ard let painful auxivties
surround their llabitatioDs. Then will VIC
secure the pcace lhat VIC await them to give US.
Invade their country; slhsist on the abuu-
dant fruits of tEcir tilase and their manufac-
fuTes; press in service their vehicles Of trans
portation and support our armies at their
| expense.
| Such war would thrill the South from the
Potomac TO the Rio Grande- Every heart
would Swell viii. joy; every eye beam with
delight: The military excitement, We know,
would be intense, and the army ranks be in
creased tenfold; popular enthusiasm would
support this turn in affairs, and thus would
| NC conquer an abiding peace.
The soldiers cares wou'd be forgotten, aud
anew scene dazzle his vision, and the banner OF
bis pride, now drooping for active fields Of
| glory, would be borne aloft to gain ;mperisl1-
ablc honors in its countrt's cause.
