My name Is borne on the Army Register as a
representative Of our adopted State, and, If
may except the honorable and complete sue
cess of our arms over our enemies, can esteem
nothing more highly than Its good opinions OF
the manner In which have performed my du-
ties in this giant rebellion. No reward can be
of more value.

connection with the Army of the Potomac.

the blood Of their feet, which were worn
through by rocks and small pebbles
which they trampled upon during the
march. We marched from 20 TO 80
