More Blood Spilled; Victory For South
'Both sides suffered heavy losses at Malvern Hill today, but the final outcome saw the Southern forces victorious. Fighting has
exhausted both Armies, with blood being spilled every day during the past week. General McClellan's men have been a disappointment to
the citizens in the North. President Lincoln is having Washington recruit 300,000 men immediately to bolster the faltering Federal
militia. Plans for the Union to march to Richmond have now been all but forgotten. The North has found itself in the embarrassing
position of being on the defensive during all recent battles. Today Jefferson Davis spoke in Montgomery and praised the strategy
of General Lee. The Confederate president promised a swift victory for the South.'
