That he made in doing SO has brought de-
ISOLATION to thousands of Northern hearth
stones. Sliding quietly across Lees front
he repeated his attempt 70 penetrate the
Confederate ranks neBr the Court House

lated on that occasion 1ecatombs OF Fed
eral rnanhood. Thosefmiscarriages cry to
Heaven from the unbaried dead that,
dear TO the souls of sisters and mo.
theirs and brothers and fathers through
ont the land, lie by thousands under this
July sun, masses Of hideous fotkenness.
In the name of God and humanity, how
long must this madness be allowed to
continuew
The direct movement against Richmond
having proved miscarriage, Grant fell

sary sacrifiee Of fifty thousand men. he

nes,. The tlrunders Of war are again
heard Of our own doors. The storm is
gathering angrily along our Northern
border and on one of those bay islands
connected with Mobile. Mississippi has
called for her sons. to save her from ruin,
and our sister State, alabama, appeals to
her reserve forces to move near the fash
ing Of the guns without delay. a strug-
yle for mors Mississippi soil will soon
take place, simultaneously with wrestle
forsupremacy on Dauphin Island. Life,
liberty and honor are the stakes we fight
for and the assault will consequently be
severe. II is announced that the utmost
confidence prevails at Mobile, wherc Gen.
Maury, gifted and brave soldier, COM
mand5. In North Mississippi we have
Forrest, and where he guides andslirects
no one fears. Z rsthing will b done
by our leaders thar duty prompts and
courage inspires. Letthepeople at home
do TIER duty and with the aid Of the
Almighty, the hosts in the field will pro-
duce favorable results.
