Clearing the Decks for Action.

The Richmond Wing of Saturday has an
article entitled ''The Duty Of the Hour" warn
ing its readers that great struggle is about TO
take place for the possession OF Richmond.
We copy the concluding paragraph Of the
article:
We sincerely hope and pray that the red
waves Of battle may not, as In 1869, roll and
break and hiss against tho walls Of the capita, D.,
and the ears Of our suffering but resolute peo-
pie may never again be saluted by the reports
OF hostile guns. But our hopes may be disap-
pointed; the enemy may come aga.n as he has
come before, and, for aught we know, the battle
may be fought on these hills and in these streets.
II is with view to this possible contingency
that we would urge upon our people to make
all needful preparation for whatever fate be-
tides them, and especially to give our brave
and unconquerable defenders a clear deck and
an open field. And above all, let the living
oracles Of our holy religion and pious men and
women Of every persuasion remember that
God alone givoth the victory, and that His car
is ever open to the prayer Of the righteous.
