The Daily Dispatch: August 27, 1861., [Electronic resource], To the public. (search)
Every dollar of our property, and every man and boy from 16 to 17 shall be pledged to the support of the Government. When the muskets and rifles and shot guns are exhausted, we will, in guerilla bands, meet the foe with club axes and butcher knives, and even if driven from our homes, when our pursuers come to gather the fruits of "subjugation," they will find nought but the graves and the bleaching bones of a people, who had chosen death rather than yield to their dominion. There is no hope for us but in victory, and God being our helper, we shall achieve that! The shortest and most economical way through this war is in a full consecration of everything to its prosecution. Let the proclamation go out to the world, from this Convention, that the tender has been made to the Government, and let the assurance be repeated to our President, that none of his drafts shall be dishonored while there is a man or a dollar left. James M. Chambers. Columbus,Ga., Aug. 8th, 1861.
