HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF THE1
PoroMAc, MANASSAS JUNCTION,
July 2S, 1861.
Soldiers Of the Confederate States -
One week ago countless host of men,
organized into an army with all the APP
pontments which modern art and prac-
ticed skill could devise, invaded the soil
of Virginia.
Their people sounded their approach
with triumphant displays of anticipated
victory. Their Generals came in almost
regal state. Their ministers, senators
and women came to witness the immola-
ton of this army and the subjugation of
our people, and to celebrate these with
wild revelry.
1t is with the profoundest emotions of
gratitude to an overriding God, whose
hand is manifest in protecting our homes
and your liberties, that we, your Gene
rails commanding, are enabled, in the
name of our whole country, to thank
you for that patriotic courage, that hero
ic gallantry, that devoted daring, exhi-
bited by you in the actions of the 18th
and Dist of July, by which the host Of
the enemy was scattered and signal
and glorious victory was achieved.
Tho two affairs of the 18th and 21st
we're but the sustained and continued ef-
forts Of your patriotism against the con-
stantly recurring colors of an enemy
fully treble our numbers, and this effort
was crowned, on the evening of the 2lst,
with victory SO complete that the in.
vaders were driven from the field and
made to fly in disorderly rout back tc
their intrenchments, distance of ovel
thirty miles
They left upon the field nearly every
piece of their artillery, a large portion
Of their arms, equipments, baggage
stores, &C., and almost every one Of
their wounded and dead amounting, to-
gether with their prisoners, to many
thousands; and thus tho northern host,
were driven by you from Virginia.
Soldiers we congratulate you on al
event which insures the liberty of oul
country We congratulate every mar
Of you whose glorious privilege it was t.
participate in this triumph of courag,
and truth, to fight in the battle of Ma
nassas. You have created an epoch il
the history of liberty, and unborn ma
tons will rise up and call you blessed
Continue this noble devotion, looking al
ways TO the protection of the just God
and, before time grows much older, W,
will be hailed as the delivercrs of a ma
ton Of ten millions Of people
Comrades our brothers who havt
fallen, have earned undying renown, anC
their blood, shed in our holy cause, is
precious and acceptable sacrifice to thu
Father Of Truth and Right; their grave
are beside tho tomb Of Washington, thei
spirits have joined his in eternal com
munion. We will hold the soil in which
the dust of Washington is mingled with
the dust Of our brothers We drop ont
tear on their laurels, and move forwarC
to avenge them
Soldiers we congratulate you on I
glorious triumph and complete victory
We thank you for doing your whole du
ty in the service Of your country.
