A VOICE FROM THE ARMY OF THE VAL
LEY OF VIRGINIA.
CAMP OF SMlrn's BRIGADE,
February 10, 1866.
At meeting of the Thirty sixth and
Sixtieth- regiments and Forty fifth bat
ia lion of Virginia infantry, Smiths bri-
gade, Wharton's division, near Fishers
vile, Virginia, the following preamble
and resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas the arms of the Confederate
States, during the recent. campaigns,
have sustained serious rcverses, which
have caused an undue dependency in
some portions of our country, and cro~
ated an unpatriotic doubt as to the final
result Of our struggle, and induced some
to entertain the reasonable thought of
making terms unworthy Of frecmen with
the enemy that seeks to destroy them:
therefore, VIC, the officers and soldiers of
the Thirty sixth and Sixticth regiments
and Forty-fith battalion Virginia infan-
try, do resolce,
/. That in the beginning of this revo-
luton we volunteered in response to the
first call Of our country to battle for the
sovereign right Of self-govcrnment end
that after four years of terrible war with
the savage foe who seeks our subsection,
We are still firm in our determination to
achieve our independence, or to perish
nobly struggling for it.
2. That in the cause of our country
is involved all we hold dear; that it has
been consecrated by the blood Of those
heroes who have fallen in its defence,
and by the blessings of Almighty God
manifested on many occasions, and that
We once more renew our VOWS TO adhere
to it through veal or woe.
8. That whilst we will hail with Joy
that peace which brings to us the recog-
milton of oar independence and assigns
us our proper place in the family of ma
tons. VIC cast from us with scorn the
arrogant and insolent propositions re-
Gently made TO our commissioners by
Abraham Lincoln, as representative Of
the people OF the United States, and
respectfully urge our Government to
apply every resource of the country to
the vigorous and untiring prosecution of
the war as the only means Of obtaining
an honorable peace.
4. That we send this declaration greet
ing to our friends at homc-within our
lines and on the border of Western Vir-
ginia-and bid them be Of good cheer,
and "nevcr despair of the Republic"
5. That copies of these resolutions be
sent to our Representatives in the Gene
raj Assembly of Virginia and in the
Congress of the Confederate States, and
also to the newspapers in Richmond,
with the request that they be pub
lishcd.
Many of the members of the above
brigade are from Northwestern Virginia,
and have not seen their homes since the
beginning of the war;
