The Confederate Adjourning Address and War Policy
A Confederate body adjourns at nine o’clock with relief to savers of the country. It criticizes members as treacherous and deserters, alleges efforts to weaken the army and empower enemies, and condemns supporters of Gov. Vance while urging unity against unconditional surrender and property confiscation proposals. The piece condemns the legislature’s actions and calls for reinforced defense and patriotic resolve.
