tive Of the American aud the general
fearlessness OF responsibility are as con
spicuous among the soldiers as in the
nation at large
"Unselfsh patriotism displayed by the
soldiers OF our country during the civil
war commanded the admiration of the
world. Neither Northerner nor South
erner considered his life the most pre-
cious OF earthly possessions.
