From Texas, West Louisiana, and Arkansas, we shall soon have
tidings. The clans are gathering, and 20,000 more, half mounted on hardy
horses, will soon be marching for the prairie country of the enemy.
Glorious Lee! and glorious Jackson! They are destined to roll the dark clouds
away from the horizon.
