252 - L. Jan. 23; ed: 2/1, 2 The Rebel Generals Hardee, Stevenson,
Cheatham, and Breckenridge appealed to Jeff Davis and the Rebel Congress,
beseeching them to establish a military dictatorship. -
"Will some of our Northern Copperhead sympathizers tell us what has
become of States Rights in the kingdom of the Arch Rebel? Will they
please inform the people why they do not condemn the centralizing influ-
ence of the Confederate Government, when Rebel Generals propose such
things as we have mentioned here, for those struggling wretches in the
South?" (10)

2528 - H Dec. 27; ed:2/2 - "It was a glorious morning start of a "merry
Christmas, ' to hear of the capture of Savannah.... We hope Porter and
Butler can lay a New Year gift of Wilmington upon the altar of liber-
ties.... It was hoped that the investment of Savannah meant a com-
plete hemming in of Hardee's army.... It became a question of whether
he should save his men and give us the stores, or run the risk of
losing both. Hardee decided wisely, for his men could not be re-
placed, while supplies might be." (5)
