Every man who 10 now for wMs, in pre-
ference to decided steps by both Confed'
crate and State authorities looking "a
peace, regardless Of age or condition,
should &C once enter the army for there
is but ONE way in which our ruin can be
made tho rough and complete, and that ID

peace can be made that the world will

assume 10 rule us ought to take steps al
once to make it. for enough has been
said by the aneny to satisfy all reasona'

creant who objects to this is 8 coward II

and march to the front"
We have said more than we intended
on the subject of supplies, but our con
tempt for stay-at home Secessionists u
such that we can let no opportunity pass
TO abuse them.
