Headquarters Maury's Division, Six
Miles East of Meridian, May Z, 1860
Soldiers: Our last march is almost ended.
Tomorrow we shall lay down the arms
which we have, borne. for four years to de-
fend our rights-to win our liberties We
have borne them with honor, and we only
now surrender to the overwhelming power
of the enemy, which has rendered further
resistance hopeless and mischievous to our
own people and cause. But we shall never
forget the noble comrades who have stood
shoulder to shoulder with us until now, the
noble dead who have been martyred, the
noble Southern women who have been
wronged and are unavenged, or the noble
principles for which we have fought. Con-
scious that we have played our part like
men, confident of the righteousness of our
cause, without regret for our past action
and without despair of the future, let US to-
morrow, with the dignity of the veterans who
are the last to surrender, perform the duty
| which has been assigned to us.-DABNEY
