One week ago, a countless host Of men,

could devise, invaded the soil Of Virginia.
Their people sounded their approach with
triumphant displays Of anticipated victory.
Their generals cana ia almost regal state.
Their Ministers, senators and women came to
witness the immoiation of this army and the
subjugation OF cur people, and to celebrate
these with wild revelry.
It is with the profoundest emotions OF graft
tude to an overriding God, whose hand is man
fest in protecting our homes and your liber-
ties that we, yeur generals commanding, are
enabled, in the name Of our whole country, TO
thank YOU for that patriotic courage, that he
roic gaIlantry, that devoted daring, exhibited
by you in the actions Of the 18th and DIST Of
July, BY which the host OF the enemy was
scattered, and a signal and glorious victory
was achieved.
The two affairs Of the 18Th and Dist were
but TIE sustained and continued Ell rts Of your
patriotism against the constantly recurring
cOlors of an enemy luily treble our numbers,
and this effort was crowned, on the evening
Of the 2Ist, With a victory so complete that
the invaders we're driven from the field and
made to fly in di5orderly Tous back to their
entTenchments, a distance of over thirty miles.
they left Upon the field nearly every piece Of
their artillery, a large portion Il their arms,
equipments, baggage, stores, etc etc, and al
most every one cf their wounded and dead,
amounting, together with the prisoners, to
many thousands, and thus the northern hosts
were driven by you from Virginia.

which insures the liberty OF our country. We

privilege it was to participate in this triumph
Of courage and truth, to fight in the battle Of

with the dust Of our brothers. We drop one
