The Charleston Mercury published
an article advocating the following
plan, suggested by the Jackson Ap-
peal: How to meet the enemy-The
Northern vandals have invaded our
state, not to confront our enemies and
decide the chances of war in a pitched
battle, but they have come to rob and
steal, to plumber, to burn, and to
starve to death our women and chill
dren. Under such circumstances we
should meet them as we would meet
+ the savage, the highwayman, or the
Wild beast of the forest Partisan
bands should lie in wait for them on
tne railroads.&c., in fence corners, and
behind trees; and, il short, they
should be hunted down in any and
every way that can be made efficient
and effectual until the state is re-
heved of their presence Not observ-
ing the rules of civilized warfare
themselves they cannot expect it's OBJ
servance from us. We need more Col
onel Blythes in the woods throughout
the state. A dozen we'll directed shots
from the bush will at any time put
a brigade to flight, and this is the
most sure and certain method of put
ting stop to the marauding expedi-
lions that are from time to time sent
out through the country. In Colonel
B1ythe's district or field of operations
it has proved most efficacious in hold
ing the enemy at bay, and we hope
to see the plan put more extensively
in practice. "A big scare, occasioned
by brisk fire from a chapparel is
often more potent than would be a
half dozen regiments of organized
troops in the field"
