2525 - L. Dec. 19; ed: 2/1, 2 - "Never before has the war been prosecuted
with such terrible efficiency as at present, and never before have the
prospects of a sure and speedy triumph of our cause been brighter.
Within the last few days the events that have occurred point to the suc-
cess of the Union forces... the Confederacy has been literally split to
fragments. The first important event was destruction of the Weldon
railroad, which connected Richmond and Lee's army with the South.
Further south, valuable commissaries have been destroyed, together with
a million dollars worth of rebel supplies. The most brilliant of the
glorious successes is the one in which that gallant veteran, Thomas, is
still winning in front of Nashville. Five thousand prisoners have been
taken and thirty-nine pieces of artillery. Such is the inspiring cata-
logue of Union successes of the last few days. The news of the last
week shows that only a few weak garrisons are held by the rebel forces,
which will soon be in the hands cf our Union Generals." (24)
