Mssissinpl like most Of the other States OF the
Confectionery has her proportions of timorous and
cowardly traitors, who are ready TO yield 10 the
domination OF the dastardiy Zoe al the hrst approach
of danger 10 their homesteads and bearlhstones and
if any such disadection has been produced among
bef troops in the field, doubt not the evil eeed
has been sown by this class Of her population.
Such state of feeling is greatly to be deprecated,
and we regret especially to see u prevainng In
Mississippi the home Of the President. Bearing
uuon this point, The Mobile Register has very
lpungent and forcbe article which 1t were wen Tor
the weak kneed 10 every Southern State 10 cohsuer
and reflect upon. Ii says: =,
We have lust seen letter from pretty high mp the
Mobile sud Ohio Road, which says there are sone
who have become very weak IN the taltn since lDe
fall OF Vicksburg opened the prospect that !pat part
of Mississippi would be Overrun by the Yankees
They are therefore whining for peace ana recon |
sfruction Without knowing who these people are,
we venture to say they are Il class OF men VINO were
" before breakfast" and Observation-Disclosures pa
triots before tho war began, and who have done
little or nothing in personal service or contributions
10 the cause since fighting began. Nlnety-nlpe to
one that they men who have property TO lose,
aud who vanly fancy that they can save IL by get
ting down upon their knees TO the Black Republican
Government.
OF one thing we are positively certain, that no
man with soul in his body, who has once had that
soul Penetrated and aroused by the unrvaled gran
deur OF this struggle, who has had his love OF
country touched, and his indignant hatred OF wrong
and oppression kiuded by the atrocities OF our enc
miea, can ever dream Of laying down his arms an
CRYING peace" until the last Yankee enemy has
been driven from the soil. We have no patience TO
wrie OF such miserable poltroons. What yield tins
great prize for which torrents OF our most precious
blood nave been shed because your farms and stocks
are in danger ; Did Virginia yield when her fairest
and richest valleys rsvaged, her people Turned
out houseless aud her fields blackened and desoated
by the torch and tread OF the invader
Ila.to stau nj ber AZ

conqueror aud do not the fires Of patriotic resist
