1t has been suggested to the

heartily endorses the request,
that all department, division,

birth to the Confederacy, and
where the first gun of the war was
fired, to take with them tho his

the other three, with all the other
banners and ensigns which floated
over them amid the smoke and
Carnage of more than two thous =
and battle fields, before they were
furred forever at Appoihattox.

that an effort will be made through

This purpose!
