humber. of Federal soldiers and officers
visited our camps, and looked c,iriously
Ion our commands, ,but there was moth
ing like exultation, no shouting for iov,

the contrary, every symptom Of respect
was manifested, and the Southern army
was praised for the, brave and noble
/, manner mai p1e in which il had defended our
cause. F''' '',si'''7H.z ,'S' - @'l,- ;,
