sacred cause of liberty and union. The first
large army of the Rebellion which laid down its
arms surrendered to Grant at Fort Donelson,
the veteran army of Lee-the last hope of the
Confederacy-gave Grant, at Appomattox, the
decisive and crowning victory of the war. The
two formidable strongholds of the Rebellion
one in the West, which dominated tire Mississip-
pi river the other in the East where it
menaced the safety of the Capitol and held at
once the life and the government of the adver-
sary, both yielded to our matchless commander.
With Donelson, with Shiloh, with Vicksburg,
with Mission Ridge, with Richmond and with
AppomattoX on the list of his achievements, no
soldier will fail to see that the military fame of
General Grant stands on the solid rock of great
results. AS patriot he was prompt, wise and
sagac ious. Sincerely yours,
