Richmond correspondence of the Mobile
Tribune says:
We are now in the very throcs of rcvolu-
ton dissolution The blood and sweat
e Ii, e. Al al. r
crty are upon us. All hopes of peace be-
come obscured by impcnetrablc gloom. At
every point of the compass from which we
look for fair wind and bright sky, dark
storm clouds frown and lower. The time
has come when every State Of this Confcdcr-
acy must depend upon itself. Let blind adj
hcrcnts and partisans close their eyes, but
the people must awaken to the fact that our
Government lacks vigor, health and strength.
We do not mean to attempt for moment to
impair the confidence of the people in the
high interest, devotion and patriotism Of our
President. In this crisis all mon arc not en-
lowed with the same great mental, moral
and physical abilities. The President has
certainly not called around him men of that
Stamina as statesman who
IL
hibitcd on all occasions these eminent quail
fications himself The people of the States
therefore must look to their own defense, US
ing every means IN their power and acting
with vigor, power and determination, while
giving, to its fullest extent, their hearty sup
port and cooperation to the Administra
ton.
