Clifton Forge (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 1
o a place of safety. He said many ladies were coming here soon from lower Virginia. This may be a peculiarly safe place. I believe it is as safe as any. But Gen. Kenton Harper, of this county, months ago expressed the opinion that from Winchester to Staunton would be one of the battle-grounds. However this may be, when I go, I shall leave my family here. It has been suggested to move the works at Harper's Ferry and the Virginia workmen there, to some safe place beyond this — say Clifton Forge — and go right on manufacturing arms. I commend this to his Excellency, who knows all about it. Arms will now be a great want. By-the-way, we are all proud of our Governor now. Subscriber. P. S.--Since the above was written, another messenger has arrived from Harper's Ferry. The troops are expecting an attack from Ohio men. These men tried to take the cars at Wheeling, but were not allowed to do so. They then went to Pittsburgh. Our men at Harper's Ferry are ready for them.

Abraham Lincoln (search for this): article 1
by so numerous an army, though in tended for their security, really places them in most imminent peril. It is said that Lincoln starts at the mention of Jeff.Davis or Wise, or Ben McCullogh, and that a body-guard of Kansas cut-throats' under the le the Government, and some of the finest vessels in the service? The Navy-Yard was unoccupied and undefended; and upon Mr. Lincoln's own theory, that there can be no secession, and that Virginia, and every part of her, is still under the Federal jure. There is but one possible chance for the early cessation of hostilities; and that chance lies in the blunders of Lincoln. It is impossible but that his incompetency and folly will bring him to a speedy downfall. It is not an unfrequent circntry from the evils which those very follies produce. In two more months the North itself will pray for the downfall of Lincoln. They can afford to tolerate his Administration much less than the South. He is the South's most effective ally; he is

of men has been to make their dispersion and the taking of Washington a military and political necessity to both Maryland and Virginia.--The demonstration upon Charleston forced Virginia to secession. The call for seventy-five regiments has converted Maryland from a Union to a secession State. The occupation and fortification of Washington by so numerous an army, though in tended for their security, really places them in most imminent peril. It is said that Lincoln starts at the mention of Jeff.Davis or Wise, or Ben McCullogh, and that a body-guard of Kansas cut-throats' under the lead of Jim Lamb, the murderer, sleep every night in the East Room. He will soon find that Virginia has other names of terror for cowardly abolitionists, and that to be surrounded by cut-throats may put his own jugular in danger. The marauding expedition which the Washington Administration sent to Norfolk was dictated by a spirit as cowardly as it was impotent. Why was Wright, an Army officer, sent

The marauding expedition which the Washington Administration sent to Norfolk was dictated by a spirit as cowardly as it was impotent. Why was Wright, an Army officer, sent upon an excursion of a naval vessel, under naval command, unless it was because of his officious suggestions of this reckless policy, early made and long persisted in, and his malignant zeal for burnings and destruction? What principles of elevated statesmanship could have dictated the burning of the best Navy-Yard belonging to the Government, and some of the finest vessels in the service? The Navy-Yard was unoccupied and undefended; and upon Mr. Lincoln's own theory
Anderson (search for this): article 1
ons; for there has not one single word escaped them which has touched the patriotic heart, or has excited a patriotic impulse in a single American bosom. They seem incapable of any act of genuine nobleness. Their action falls as coldly upon the country as the snow. Their words are as unfeeling as their policy is vengeful and cunning. The demonstration upon Charleston disclosed the selfish and calculating counsels that actuate them. The manly course would have been the withdrawal of Anderson and the evacuation of Sumter. They had not the generosity or the courage to do that. They feared the clamor of the North, and they preferred to risk a hundred lives rather than risk the frowns of a ruthless faction. They sent around their fleet to Charleston merely as a feint, merely to make a demonstration of energy; when they knew that the certain consequence of their conduct would be to put every man's life in Sumter at hazard. That was the cold and cruel beginning of their Campaign
