The eyes and hopes of eight millions of
people rest upon you. You are expected to
SHo" yourselves worthy VI your race, ana

South, whose noble devotion in this war has
never been exceeded, at any time
With such incentives to brave deeds. and

erals will lead you confidently to the combat,
fully assured of ultimate and glorious sue
cess.

the fight. we pat onr wounded into wagons
and moved forward to this place.
The cause was this: We only had few
DAYS rations, and they had but little in the
fort, and we are moving for Albuquerque
where we will be able to procure supplies
Also they had made the Nexicans believe
had, kill the men, re, and had forced four

things very different, we pay them for ev-

they are fast deserving and returning to their
