has issued an address to his army on ,he
achievements Of the last ten days, saying;
You have succeeded in changing your
base OF operations by flank movement,

OF military expedents. You have saved
all your material all your trains, and all
your guns, except few lost in battle,
taking in return guns and colors from The
enemy.
Under every disadvantage Of numbers
and necessarily o! position, you have ia
every conflict beaten back your Toes with
enormous slaughter. We are prepared
to meet the enemy who may at any time
, attack you. 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 National Birth Day, we declare
to our foes who are rebels agantt the
best interests Of mankind, that this Army
shall enter the Capital of the so called
n Confederacy, that our National Coustilu.
+. ton shall prevail, and that Union which
can alone insure internal security and
= peace to each S,ste must and shall be
}, preserved, cost what it may in time treas
