Camp near Harrison Landing,
July 4, 1862.
Soldiers of the Army Of the Potomac:
Your achievements of the last ten days have
Illustrated the valor and endurance of the
American soldier, attacked by superior forces
and without hope of endorsements, you have
succeeded in changing your base OF operations
by flank movements, always regarded as the
most hazardous of military expedients. You
have saved all your material, all yonr trains,
and all your guns except a few taken in battle,
taking in return guns and colors from the enc
my. Upon your march you have been assail-
ed, day after day, with desperate fury, by men
of the same race and nation, skilfully led
Under every disadvantage of numbers, and
necessarily of position also. you have in every
conflict, beaten back your foes with enormous
slaughter. Your conduct ranks you among
the celebrated armies of history. No one will
now question that each of you may always
with pride say: Il belong to the army of the
Potomac"
You have reached the new base complete in
organization and unimpaired in spirit. The
enemy may at any time attack you. We are
prepared to meet them. have personally
established your lines, let them come and we
will convert their repulse into final defeat.
Your government is strengthening you with
the resources OF great people.
On this our nations birth day, we declare to
our foes, who are rebels against the best inter
ests of mankind, that this army shall enter the
capitol of the SO called ConIederacy, that our
nation Constitution shall prevail, and that the
Union can alone insure internal peace and ex-
ternal security to each State, must and shall
be preserved, cost what it may in time, treas
ure and blood.
