Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1865-03-07

The Richmond Dispatch, of the I'd, says:
There has been altogether too much talk,
and urges Congress to quit speech making
and go work or adjourn; and it says we
don't observe that Sherman was any where
stopped by the thousand rounds of orstory
parrot guns which Governor Moore and
other public speakers, let off at his advanc-
ing columns. Unless the representatives
of thepeople take the field themselves and
secure positions so closely to the enemy that
he can hear what they say, we have no
hopes that he will put his fingers in his
ears and run for his life
