cause and pretext of the rebellion
and opened the way to the rightful
authorities to restore order and in-
adgurate peace on permanent and
enduring basis on every foot of
American soil. Your marches, sieges
and battles, in distance, duration,
resolution and brilliancy of results,
dim the lustre of the worlds past
military achievements, and will be
the patriots precedent in the defense
Of liberty and right in all time TO
