Mr. Duncan brings us
the weightiest news. The Confederacy is going to the dogs—or, did he say the devil?
That young lieutenant was right. We may have to fly from Richmond as we did
from Columbia. It is a profound secret as yet; but he warns us to be ready to
leave on quick notice. Are we to be driven to the wall? I can't believe it! But
somehow—somehow—my heart is as barren of hope tonight as the great Sahara of
water.
