will make remarks concerning the de-
tails spread before them on the canvas,
but these are as rule dispassionate and
even if from the lips of those who were
actors in the scenes could not offend. 1t
was reserved for me to have my feelings
of patriotism trampled upon and be
insulted without provocation here in
the capital of our grand aud glorious
nation by a group of unregenerate rebels
