Das~ In view of the great want of men in the
Southern armies, it behooves every man who pos
sibly can do So, to take the field and kelp beat
back the foe. Every unmarried man. who is not
physically disabled, ought to be in the army. and
not be skulking about doing everything be can to
avoid service. Those WHO have property at stake
ought to send their sons, if they not quite
Is, and not allow them to lounge about in dleness
or hide in some shade office: Those who have
much dependent on the issue, ought to give much
towards sustaining the cause. 1t is fact, and we
mention it by way of warning, that some rich men
have not done their duty-they have not given of
their means as literally as they should have done
they are lying back waiting for others to gain
independence for them. We don't like to refer to
these things, but the time has come when every man
must do.all he can to save the country from ruin
and degradation; asd those who persist in neglect
ing to do their duty or harbor their sons from
service, must be exposed.

nas~ The bitterness aud hatred Of the yankee
abolitionists towards southern people shows itself
not only in their barbarous acts, but in their
speeches. A Gen. Oglesby recently made speech
in Chicago in which he said:
"I am. 10 favor of placing al good muskct and
plenty of ammunition in the hands Of every negro,
and Of allowing him the privilege of aiding the
Government which is aiding him"
This man Oglesby declares that he is opposed
to any sort of terms of peace until the South
is completely subjugated. and the property of
southern men appropriated to paying the yankee
war debt.
