the field of the 19th ; and 7 11;
his rank, whether combat. ,
dare exhibit his spoils of that
badges of his dishonour—the insignii, of I kis dke
grace. The officer who pauses in the career of
victory to place a guard over a antler's waggon for
his private use is as bad as the soldier who halts
to secure for himself the abandoned clothing or
money of a flying foe, and they both sell the honour
of the army and the blood of their country for a
paltry price. He who follows his colours into the
ranks of the enemy in pursuit of victory, disdaining
the miserable passion for gathering booty, comes
out of the battle with his honour untarnished, and,
though barefooted and ragged, is far more to ho
envied than he who is laden with rich spoils ga-
thered in the treil of his victorious comrades. There
was some exceptions to the general misconduct on
the afternoon of the 19th, but it would be d4ficult
to specify them all. Let those %clic) did their duty
be satisfied with the consciousness of having done
it, and mourn that their efforts were paralysed by
the misbehaviour of others. Let them be consoled,
to soma (Arent, by the rtfl!ction that the enemy
has nothing to boast of on his part. The ar!iilery
and waggons were taken not. won by his valour.
His.cimps were destroyed, his army terribly
shattered and demoralised, his losses far heavier
than ours, even in proportion to the relative
strength of the armies, his plans materially im-
peded, and he wagon able to pursue by reason of
his crippled condition. Soldiers of the Army of the
Valley, I do not speak to you in anger ; I wish to
speak in kindness, though in sorrow. My purpose
is to show you the causes of our late misfortune,
and point out the way to avoid similar ones itt
future, and insure success to our arms. Success can
only be secured by the enforcement and observance
of the most rigid discipline. Officers, whatever
their rank, must not only give orders, but set the
example of obeying them ; and the men must follow
that example. Fellow soldiers, I tun ready to lead
you again in defence of our common cause, and I
appeal to you by the remembrance of the glorious
career in which you have formerly participated, by
the woes of your bleeding country, the ruined homes
and devastated fields you see around you, the cries
of anguish which came up from the widows and
orphans of your dead comrades, the horrors which
await you and all that is yours in the future if your
country is subjugated, and your hopes of freedom
for yourselves and your posterity, to render a
cheerful and willing obedience to th© rules of disci•
pline, and to shoulder your muskets again with the
determination never more to turn your backs upon
the foe, but to do battle like men and soldiers until
the last vestige of the footsteps of our barbarous
and cruel enemies is erased from the soil they desee
crate, and the independence of our country is firmly
established. If you wi.l do this and rely upon the
protecting care of a just and merciful lied, all will
be well; you will again be what you once were, and
I will be proud to lead you once more to battle.
"J. A. EARLY, Lieutenant-General."
