| deem myself fortunate that accident has
given me the pleasure Of meeting with
you to-day, and of pariicipallng in the
ilaudabIe objects Contemplated by your
meeting and that pleasure is greatly en-
Ihauced by seeing around me many of HE
brave men whom it was my good fortune
10 command doring the war. These
mountain regions gave to the armies of
the South some Of our bes soldiers, and
il is due TO Them lhot ! should declare,
what | do here with Infinite qualification,
that had N my ranks none better, bra
yer or more devoted than the men OF this
and lhe adjoining districts. lnyoUr pres
iencG desire 10 tender Them my hearllel'
franks lot 'heif conduct as sold'efS.
