himself to earn the cratioBs of the civilized world

proclamation, and from those responses OF good,

purpose and an intensity Of hatred against the Union
which they have never yet exhibited.
To sum up the essential points of these lat speeches
of JEFF Davis in few words they the admins
traton at W&shngton that the armies OF the rebellion,
instead of bel nearly subdued, are stronger today
than they were year ago. that the rebel leaders are
more confident of success than they were last an

save Vicksburg, Port Hudson and Richmond that

the rebellion, and that ii fail in securing them before

GREAT M1srAKE--It is great mistake for men

A GREAT MIsTAKE-It is great mistake for men
who not in the army to suppose that their ooga-
tons to aid in establishing our independence are less
imperative than ose of our soldiers whose sphere OF
duties embrace the camp and battlefield Indeed, if
there be any difference, real imaginary, the duties
pertaining to at home (says the Selma Rep0'ter)
are serious and weighy than those belonging to
the soldier. This point however, need not be aEgTed.
