The Charleston Mercury published
an article advocating the following
plan, suggested by the Jackson APP
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 pitched
battle, but they have come to rob and
steal, to plunder. 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
the railroads.&c., in fence corners, and
behind trees; and, in short they
should be hunted down in any and
every way that can be made efficient
and effectual until the state Is re-
lieved OF their presence. Not observ-
ing the rules of civilized warfare
themselves they cannot expect its 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
brigade to flight, and this is the
most sure and certain method of put
ting stop to the marauding expedi-
tions that are from time to time sent
| out through the country. In Colonel
| Blythe's district or field of operations
1t has proved most eficaclous in hold
| ing the enemy at bay. and we hope
to see the plan put more extensively
In practice. A big scare, occasioned
often more potent than would be

troops in the field"
