tinct nationality as a people has been frustra-
ted, and the providence Of God seems to have
ordained that we shall again be united in civil
compact with our former associates Of the North
The stars and stripes again wave over US as in
former days, and it is now our national flag
and should be respected accordingly We have
with our very inadequate means fought through
a bloody war, but have at length been over
whelmed by superior numbers, and have been
compelled to yield. Our armies have fought
braveiy, and we have lost no honor in the con-
flct. And now that the struggle is over let US
at once, apply ourselves 10 the peaceful avoca-
tions of life. Let the young men of the coun-
try now return TO their much loved homes, seek
to engage the earliest moment possible in soma
honest business, and by all mems avoid all temp
tations to ideness.
Let all our paroled soldiers carefully avoid
all concern In bushwhacking or guerrilla war
fare; these are wrong in principle and practice,
and whatever seeming apology there might have
been for the practice during the war, there can
certainly be none now. It becomes Us all now
to seek by practical means, to promote the re-
turn Of peace and coed neighborhood among
the various sections of the United States. Let
us stnVe as far as practicable, to forget the
wrongs which we have suffered, and earnestly
address ourselves to the task of Teconstructing
the government and promoting its peace and
unity. The brooding over our altered fortunes
and making the theme of conversation will tend
greatly to increase our bitterness Of feeling,
and drive from our hearts that peace Of God,
without which our religion is mere tinkling
cymbal. There are among US, at various points,
CuSidL hLOs 80 A1l dc AeiHO 4CdiiiCu1
deport themselves in a very orderly manner;
let US not by any action of ours influence them
to different course of conduct, but let US ex4
tend to them all the courtesies of life; invite
them to your churches, that they may mingle
with you in the service Of religion, for, doubt
less, many Of them, before they left their homes,
were members of the church and consistent
christians.
Let such feel at home with you in the house
}f God. And finally, if you wish to live quiet
and peaceable lives, in all godliness and homes
y before God, it is your duty to pray earnestly
md constantly to God that He may give to our
'ulers wisdom and integrity that they may be
lble TO bear rule in the fear of God. And
low, dear brethren, may God pour out upon
is in abundance the fear of His holy name and
he influence of His spirit to guide us Alright in
Ill things Afectionately
