CAMP NEAR INDEPENDENCE,
April 27, 1865.
Brigadier-General VIM. P. Harde-
mans brigade assembled en- mas~e
this evening, and, with General Harde
man in the chair, resolved, among
other things, that, in spite of the re-
verses to the cis-Mississippi armies,
they would not abandon the struggle
until the right Of self:goverpment is
fully established. It was also
Resolved, That we dencunce as era
vens those men who. having evaded
service in the army, use unceasing en-
deavors to instl want of confidence
in the public mind as regards the final
issue, and hold them rs more danger,
Gus {being more insidious) than our
Yankee foe, who avows his object to
be our suhjugation.
Reso1red, That we will prosecute
this war until our independence is
achieved, holding in equal esteem the
vandal zoe who seeks to enslave us, and
the scarcely concealed traitor at home,
who, by act or word, attempts to para
I've our efforts to obtain our ust
rightsAself government.
Resolecd, That to our brethren in
arms in the els Mississippi Department,
we say, "Be of good cheer" anxiously
waiting for orders, we are ready to
march TO your immediate aid; bu: if
driven from your homes and tiresides,
with high resolves and actuated by
stern ambition, tread your way to the
soil of Texas, where our army, deter
mined to be free, await your coming;
together here we can yet toll and strug
gle and conquer.
Resolved, That we will never forget
the true patriots Of our land, the fair
women Of the South; they have al
ways been found m,nistering angels
around the couch Of the sick and dv-
ing soldiers; with their own hands
they wrought the comfortable fabrics.
that have clothed and warmed US amid
the frozen blasts Of winter. Others
may have despaired, woman never;
and in the future, as in the past, we
confidently hope to receive from her
the same bright smile Of approval and
gentle words Of encouragement.
