Named Entity Results, Harry Lee

fested yesterday a disposition to shake off this lethargy, but they still require all the stimulant that can be furnished by precept and example. They had as well know now as hereafter, when it is too late, that not a man will be withdrawn from Gen. Lee's army to reinforce the troops before this city. That army has its allotted task, and nothing that the Yankees can do will divert it from its line of operations. We are amply able, with the assistance of the troops around the city, to repel, aithin any short space of time. In the meantime, it is hardly probable that any serious attempt will be made with a force of less than 50,000 men. Before the Yankees can collect such a force we shall have one quite equal to it, and without robbing Gen. Lee of a man. Let us conclude this article by entreating our citizens not to wait until the enemy are upon us; but to organize at once, and our authorities to compel an organization, if they have the power and the citizens prove refractory.

Et cetera Gen. Lee, in one of his laconic dispatches, announced that our army had taken Winchester, its artillery, &c. The community was puzzled to know what was the "&c.

The number is put at 7,000 by rumor, and is probably about as correct as the estimate of the 20,000 at the White House. This landing is probably a thieving raid to carry off the negroes from Upper Brandon, there being a considerable number there. From the fact that the Federal are about to rebuild the wharf at West Point it may be inferred and reasonably, too, that they intend to make that a base of operations for a feint, if not a real attack, on this city, with the hope of diverting a position of Lee's army from its march Northward. It behooves us, therefore, calmly to make preparation for the contingency. Let the militia be properly organized, so that every man, and every company, and every regiment, may assemble at the proper place at a signal without the confusion and disorder which unfailingly attend the movements of unorganized bodies of men. With this precaution, and with the large number of regular troops around Richmond, no one need feel the least fear of a "raid."
