EEDERAL DESIGNS AND OUR

The design Of the Federal GovaTnment is

around Us the coils of gigantic anaconda,
which was to crush Us As il contracted It's folds.
Oar seaport cities, islands and frontier towns
ware 20 be taken. Port Royal, Fort PGlsski,
Hs.tsrss, Morris Island, R5sn5ks island, Vicss-
burg and Port Hudson 81 passed into their
possession. Yet the anaconda was bTcksn.
TIE enemy having discovered that the oeca-
psfoa Of our frontier is but sesrifsation sf

of their niilsEy ehisfains, is assignei 20 lbs
duty Of csptEring Richmond. With large fsIe1s,
