SAINTS REST, (WHICH is IN THE STATE
Wv Moo GERsY,) Feb %, 1865.
There are but very few troo Dimocrats
left ia this seckshun ov Moo Gersy, very few.
The young wuns hev all enlisted and turned
Ablishnist, and the old Wuns are peggin out
with the delirium tremens. The whisky that
we git now a days burns our coppers out very
freely.
A lew NV us whose stumicks Is trooly glass,
met last mite 2 shed teer or 2 over the fail Nv
Charleston. squire Potts, who hez bin the
reglar Chairman Tor this county for thirty
yeers, TUX the cheer, on his own moshun,
weeping perfoosely.
The rest of the awjience moved that they
be the ce-presidence, which Wuz carried,
and they TUX their seets as SIGH, weeping
perfooselY.
Here hitch okkurred-there wuz nobody
left for committe on resolushuns. 3 Nv the
vice-presidence promptly resigned and wuz
elected as sich committe, when tina (weepin
perfoosey) reported the follering, wich the
;jekretary mad previusly writ
VareGs, Charleston, the unly plais on the
continent, whare the pure Dimocrisy abidid,
hez follered Atlanty and Savanner, and hez

Resolued, That we emfatically and unreser-
vedly protest agin a further contin0oance Nv
this unholy, unconstooshnel, unmittygated,
and sooisidle war.
ResoIued That we now manetane what we
hev alluz assertid, that smilyuns Nv free
white men can't be subjoogatid at emmy
prise.
Resolued, That we congratulate our heroic
of fha uvh 10 in for
their rites, upon the successful evscuashun Nv
Atlanty, Savanner and Charleston, becoz hev
in them plasis less to defend they kin concen-
trait sumwhsre elst to better advantage.
Resolued That the slownis Nv England and
Frznce at interferin deserves our reprehen-
shun, and that If they air ever goin to du it
now's tie time.
Rssolped, That them Dimicrats who let on
they feel ez good ez the Ablishnists do over
these victrys, is unworthy the name. We
warn en- that it amt no yOose. The Ablish-
nists hey enuff strate cutters ov their own to
hold Offices, and that turnin into war men at
this lait day is Iuther too ishy 2 fool even the
blindest Nv them
Resolued, That we damnd the war at the
begjnnin; and that we, Nv Moo Gersy, dam it
now, and will SO continyoo TO the end NV the
chapter, bein conservativ and terribly sot in
our way.
ResoIued, That calm out 100000 fresh men
to lite our eggsaustid brethfiD, is not only un-
shiyalrus, but it is takin meen advantage NV
noble people, and that we here demand NV
LiDkun that he revoke the order
Resolced, That sutch Nv us ez air drafted
shel hev the privilege Nv choosin whether tina
will die in their own dore yards, or run to
Canady. We onhesitatiDgly. recommend the
latter coarse, providin alluz they kin git back
before the next eleckshun.

for teers.
The triumfs the Ablishnists had gained was
no adYantagis. Charleston he'd iallen, was
troo. While | regretted the NECESSITY, wuz
trooly glad Nv it. The feelins Nv them people
he'd bin hurt no dout. But what Nv that? 1t
wuz easier to let go Nv Charleston than hold
on to it. They coodent hold that city emmy
more than they Good Atlanty & Savanner, and
thel4 strategy required its surrender. The
good NV the Confederasy required that they
should leave, and o, my brethren, with wat
alackrity they obade the call They may find
it necessary TO resine Richmond. Shel we

towns Grant and Sherman will hev Q leave

ali divided up in2 garlisons. Then kums the
krisis. He takes them small garrisons, at a
time, & gobbIes EN-. That's his ijee, maik
no dout. Let us, my brethren, keep a-stiff up
per lip. The moar territory Sherman gifts,
the wuss he is orr waite impashently to
hear Nv his marchin on, feelin that at last Lee
will wax him.
