September 8th (search for this): article 2
From Mobile. Mobile, September 8. --All quiet here to-day.
November (search for this): article 1
The people of the Confederate States are little aware of the extent to which the country has been imposed upon in the matter of details and exemptions. From good authority, we learn that an immense army — an army which, if enrolled, disciplined, and led by proper officers and a proper general, would be able to plant the Southern cross on the spires of Philadelphia before the ides of November--an army of one hundred and fourteen thousand men — seeks, and has secured, exemption from service as agriculturists — sneaking under that plea out of the defence of their country — leaving under that plea others to fight their battles for them — good Confederates, brave patriots, worthy citizens, delighted to hear of the brave deeds of our gallant army, provided they be not called on to share in the glory, willing to be free, provided it cost them nothing. One hundred and fourteen thousand men detailed as agriculturists, and all these of conscript age, in a population of five millions!

ger disappears. If the Confederate Congress take this thing in hand, it will do nothing but extend the limits. That will not answer the purpose. The country wants young men, and must have them. There is a plenty of them for all the purposes of this war, and they must be brought out. Old men are useful to a certain extent, and so are boys; but they are not fit to fight out such a war as this. Besides, there is no sense in allowing these fellows to skulk in this way. Why, in the State of Virginia alone there are eighteen thousand men detailed for agricultural purposes — that is, to avoid service. The State Legislatures must take hold of this matter. Here in Virginia we have a most active and untiring Governor — a man of judgment as well as zeal — a man who is a soldier himself, and feels for the soldier as all ought to do,--a man whose influence with the Legislature is deservedly high. We hope everything from his zeal and intelligence. While upon this subject, we wish t<

Farragut (search for this): article 2
expected triumph. But this is not such a war. It is a war between the Southern Confederacy and the United States, the latter having all the wealth and all the military and civil organizations of the old government on its side, with immense armies, composed of all nations, and of which the Yankees proper constitute only a small proportion. Of its native troops, the best are the mixed races of the West and renegade Kentuckian and Missourian. Even in the navy, its most successful officer is Farragut, a Tennessean. A large number of its officers, in both the land and sea service, are natives of Southern States. Nor is it accurate to designate all the people of the Middle States even as Yankees. It may suit the Yankees proper very well to have all their elements of strength classed as Yankee, but it is not the truth. As a general thing, they have staid at home during the war, making money out of battles which they do not fight, and gaining a great reputation for prowess besides, by t

It may be convenient to give our enemies a name which condenses in one word all that is hateful; but the worst of them are the least injured by its application. We are helping Jonathan to go down to posterity as a great heroic character. He has had little to do with this war except hiring other men to fight his battles and obtain for him money and reputation.
United States (United States) (search for this): article 2
Our enemies. The indiscriminate application of the term Yankees to our enemies in the field does not convey an accurate idea of the elements of power which are combined against us. In a mere war of sections — that is, a war between the Yankees proper and the Southern States--not even Yankees themselves could have expected triumph. But this is not such a war. It is a war between the Southern Confederacy and the United States, the latter having all the wealth and all the military and civil organizations of the old government on its side, with immense armies, composed of all nations, and of which the Yankees proper constitute only a small proportion.

Heenan (search for this): article 3
Artistic Liars. It is doing indifferent justice to Yankee capacities of invention to accuse them simply of lying in their accounts of battles and other events of this war.--It falls as far short of their merits as to say of Tom King and Heenan that they are men of pugnacity, and to take no note of their science. The Yankees are great artists. They not only lie, but know how to do it. They not only lie generally, but lie in detail, and they so manipulate and color the details that scarcely any one, not an eye-witness of the events they relate, can question the truth of the narrative. In their account of the fight at Reame's station they manifest inventive genius of the highest order. It is the testimony of our plain, unimaginative Confederate soldiers that, on that occasion the enemy fought with much loss spirit than usual. The Yankee account is spirited enough, if the fight was not. It gives, as usual, many circumstances, clothing the dry bones with such an illusion of flesh
