Felloao Citizens Of the cou,stv of Scott +
Having declared myself q candidate to
represent you in the next Legislature Of.
Virginia, and it being inapracticable for me
to see you between this time and the day Of
- r 45.tes .
reasons for having become q, candidate. and
some of nv views on the condition of our coun-
try. / have been in the service of nv country
nearly two years-haye been as faithful to nv
duty as nv health would permit. which is now
much impaired from long marches, constant ex-i
posure and the hardships Of camp life. though
] still intend to do all that is in my power in
vindcation Of our canse. We are in the midst
OF great revolution. and our cause must be
maintained at all hazards. It is the duty Of
every man t. exert every means possible for the
maintenance Of Southern independence. This
is no time to play the gentleman-no time for
dignifed leisure. ALI cannot serve in the field,
but all can do sometime to help forward the
common cause. The Young and active, the stout
and vigorous should be ready at 3 moments
warning for the ranks. There should be no
holding back-no counting the cost. The enc
my must be expelled BY any and every means
that God has put in our power. We are not
fighting for military glory--we are fighting for
. home and for national existence-we can
CONQUER. and we must. We must not suffer any
other thought to enter our minds. If we are
overrun, we can at least die, and if our enemy
Sov,;ns desert. INIT under Cod We shall mt fa;
IF we are true to him and true to ourselves. 8
