The Mobile NsI5s concludes that the weak

the Richmond Enquirer has scared all thoughts

the Enquirer, and numerically Tidiculed by the
Lincoln newspapers on account Of the eontem-

the orgsn of the Confederate government This
is what the "weak-minded Confedsrstes" say.
Our own opinion is that We shall hear thunder
