raiders were hard workers and the
band had powerful lungs and hands,
for they kept 1t up until mess call.
Many of the men who expect to leave
tomorrow paid their farewell calls to-
day to the men of the old army. In
the days they have been here the
feeling was the best. There was no
doubt in the minds Of those who saw.

The Union Forsvor.
Resolved, that we take pride in the
fact that to the armies Of the confeder-

utter impossibility Of dismemberment
of the union. When we consider that
100000 men, as good material as ever
was organized as . fighting force and
directed by such commanders as our
beloved Robert e. Lee and his ASSOC
ciates, failed to separate the states, we
see that the demonstration was COM

done and our failure must give pause
to those who in the future would con-
template such an undertaking."
