Capitol (Utah, United States) (search for this): article 16
rts, true as the steel in their hands, who await with a savage joy the change of meeting their foes upon any terms — whose dearest wish is to spill out their blood upon the soil they will die to defend. We want no more temporizing nor trifling. Let no one hug the consoling idea to his breast that we can achieve our independence in kid gloves. Let it be the duty of every sensible and sincere editor to dispel this appalling delusion. Let us hear no more of the gaieties and banquets in our Capitol. Disperse the thousand and one jewelled officers who are crowding the hotels of Richmond, sporting their cheaply acquired honors to the gazes of the uninitiated. Send them back to their commands, and make them stay there; and let it resound throughout the whole land that every man is at his post and doing his whole duty. Then, and then only, may we hear the shout of "victory" upon the breeze. It is only under these circumstances that we have any right to success; and this is the

The dim glimmering camp fire did lend scarce sufficient light to illumine the columns of your learned contemporary — the Examiner--yet I have seen enough to know that we have suffered a terrible (I call things by their right names) defeat at Roanoke; and this, coupled with the disgraceful disaster at Somerset, and the unimpeded march of our enemies into Tennessee and Alabama, does, we must be allowed to think, form something more than a three days wonder. Patience we know at times wine batce case and comfort for the sake of liberty; and when our sacred soil is polluted by the tread of a tyrant's foot, let every son be willing to avenge a mother's wrongs; and when we think of the noble sacrifice which was offered upon the altar at Roanoke, may it prove an incentive to urge us to action, and may we be willing to imperil our lives in defence of a cause so full of interest to us all. Remember the boasts of our insulting foe, and show to him and all he has mistaken the men he has to

Patience we know at times wine battles, but talk not to men of patience when their homes are threatened with destruction. The decreasing finances of the North is all very well in its place; we are glad of it, but we haven't time to wait upon it now. Our recognition by England and France is a fine thing, too, in its way.

not the right leaders in the right places, displace those which are there and send commanders — not politicians in their places — men who know their responsibility to their country and are ready and willing to devote their entire unflagging energy to their task — patriots who take up the sword to defend their homes and not through personal ambition. What care we for the personal misfortunes of any men. We are not fighting in the cause of this or that man. It is the common cause of the Confederate States, and not of any particular individual. The intelligent soldiers in the field begin to look around them in some doubt and apparent disquietude. If we go not into this struggle with our whole soul, how can we expect to succeed? Let there be the most perfect confidence between the citizens and their soldiers. We want to hear of no despondency or lukewarmness at home. The reverses we have met (and we regret it) have been severe, but we have hundreds of thousands of faithful hearts<
