Army.
HEADQUARTERS Array OF TESHrssRE,

l
WINCHESTER, Jan. Z, 1868.
Soldiers of the Army Of Tennessee
Your gallant deeds have won the admirA-
ton of your General your Government and
your country. For myself, thank you and
am proud Of you-for them, tepderyou the
gratitude and praise you have so nobly won.
In a campaign of less than one MONTH, in
the face Of winter, your achievements have
been Unparalleled You have captured more
than ten thousand prisoners, taken and pre-
served, thirty pieces of artillery and seven
thousand small arms, in addition to many
thousands Destroyed You have besides,
captured eight hundned wagons, loaded lchisElS
with supplies, which have been destroyed or
brought safely to our lines, aud in pitched
battles you have driven the enemy before you,
inficting q loss at least three to one greater
than you have Apstaipeh. BNBl gIjQgO
In retiring to a stronger position without
moestaton from superior force, you have
left him q barren field. in which 10 bury his
hosts OF slain, and to- rally, aud racnPerate
his shattered ranks Cut off from his Goyerr-
ment both by rail and telegraph, and deprived
of supplies by the interruption of his com
ulunications, we shall yet teach him severe
lesson for the rsshhess Of penetrating aoup-
try so hostile TO his cause. Whilst the infant.
ry and artillery defy him in front our irwin.
chile cavalry will assAil him ip flank and rear
until we goad him TO another advance, only
10 meet another signal defeat .fy.g
: Your General depl0res, in common with
yon, the loss of your gallant comrades vhc
have fallen in our recent conflicts, Let theiI
memories be enshrined in your hearts, 40 thsy
will ever be tenderly cherished by their lcou6
p trymeR. Let it be yours to emulate thejl
. deeds. Remember that your face is ojths
t foe, and that on you rests the defence Of al
: that Is dear to freemeu. Di8 Z
! Soldiers the proudest reflection OF you
!, Generals life is TO be kDown as the eompap
der Of an army so brave and invinciblA 4
/ you have proven. He asks no higher. boo
/, than TO lead such men TO victory, To shAr
It their trials, and 10 stand or fall with them
will be the crown Of his ambition. q p

This PRAYER will soon find utterance--and
the community, weary Of debt and taxation, OF
the tax collector and the recruiting sergeant
weary of the ambulance Of the wounded,
and the hearse Of the dead-will hail with
ecstacy beyond control the hour when flags of
permanent truce are displayed at Washing

remember the peace Of 1915, and the joyit ex-
cited, but il was as nothing in comparison
with what ours will be when this brotheIs war
is over Hon. WIN b. REED.
Beautifully and truthfully spoken. 1t
is hard to conceive Of the great JOY that
will animate and enliven the hearts of the
people when this cruel slaughter of Amer
leans by Americans is ended when the
martial music of the hateful fife and drum
is superseded by the sweet songs of peace
when the march of armies give way tc
the march Of industry and civilization
when spears shall be turned into pruning
hooks and swords into ploughshares, and
the Goddess of Liberty, folding away for
ever the blood stained banners of civil war
wears upon her wounded bosom the heal
ing olive branch of Peace. Then, Tim,
will dry the widows tears and soothe tn
orphans sorrows hate, and envy, ant
malace, and fanaticism will be driver
from the land, and enemies now. will b
brothers once again, and join hands il
making America the leading nation of tn
world
"The land OF 'he free
And the home Of the brave"
In the language Of the leader Of tn

duration Of the war, Mr. Leeds said it
might last six months after the next
