257 - L. Feb. 13; ed: 2/1 - The Reverend Dr. Elliott, commended as a patri-
otic bishop according to Rebel ideas of patriotism, addressed his flock
in Savannah lately concerning the awful results of submission to the
North. "Submission is no longer possible," said the bishop. "Once when
the Rebel army thundered at the gates of Washington they might have sub-
mitted to the conservative and Christian people of the North. But now
we must lock our shields and trust in God."
"Alas for Bishop Elliott and his misguided flock. The surge that will
sweep over them are only the tidal waves of a nobler civilization."
