note that the planters of or orthe the South figure their losses loss's will willbo willbe be bo They must do what wo we e did bend all their energies to tho the overcoming of oC their difficulties and in the meantime keep a firm grip on themselves so that they the wilt will not lose Jose their courage Wo built great levees le Just as they did at New Orleans and all along alon the Father of or
