REBEL VIEWS OF THE COMING
CAMPAIGN


We advanced the opinion in January that,
Notwithstanding the threatening aspect Of af-
fairs further south, the next grand battle Of
the war, and the last, would be fought by
the army Of Northern Virginia, and probably
on field north OF the Potomac. Winter
still fingers and puts a veto on ell military
movements Of serious nature, but the clans
are gathering for the coming conflict, and by
strange concert both sides are looking to
the region Of the Potomac as the theatre for
aggressive operations, il any movement on our
part, south Of the line Of Pennsylvania, may
be considered aggressive. few weeks will
develop the programme for the spring cam
psign, and we look for something on a scale
Of grandeur that will be unequalled by any
martial array Of modern times.
To our mind, it is evidently the policy Of
the confederacy 20 cease from mere defensive
warfare. We should collect together our
scattered force--s thing not yet done in this
war-and by one grand self-sustaining move
ment press forward and carry the war into
the enemy's country. We should send no
more corporars guards there 20 be cut to
pieces, surrounded OF driven back from sheer
paucity of numbers. And furthermore, If
we invade at all, we must do it for the ex-
press purpose Of making the enemy feel the
hsrdships of war in all its Legitimate horrors.
