The point at which these supplies crossed
into Texas was probably at the Eagle Pass

supplies were guarded TO Texas BY French
soldiers. There is no doubt of this fact. The

from the Columbus (Ga.) Tnnes April ~
The capture Of Richmond would prove Of
greater in portance to our enemies ID polh-
cal point Of view than in any other sense. =
With our capital in their possession We you'd
find additional Influences brought to bear
against US, abroad; out as material loss: Its
fall would in no manner compare with the dis
advantages which would result from defeat
Of Gen. Johnston, and the occu patton OF Geor-
gia that would follow The first point is near
our boundary lines; the second is our great
centre. To lose the one would be as the loss
of limb; should we be driven from the other
it will be terrible blow at our most vital point.
This We must admit, and our enemy knows it.
