The north side is Virginia, the west side the line of the Mississippi.

If Grant and Farragut between them can win the control of the Father of Waters, we've got the west side.

Then it's the business of the Armies on the Mississippi to press east and the Army of the Potomac to press south.
It may take a time, but if we keep a stiff upper lip we're bound to have the rebels whipped.

I reckon they're whipped already in spite of Lee.
I've heard of a turtle that an old nigger man decapitated.

Next day he was amusing himself poking sticks at it and the turtle was snapping back.
