i vlSia^^V^A large portion of our
legislators were so unfavorably impres
sed with the idea of maintaining a sep
arate State army, that they were will
ing to be rid of it upon almost any
terms. Satisfied that the interest and
the salety cf the State required that the j L
organization be kept in the field, 1 j ,
stood by it, with an unalterable deter
mination, to maintain it against every
assault. Results have, I trust, con- >
vinced all of the p ropriety of my course,
while your own acts have sufficiently
vindicated your own character as sol
diers. For five months the enemy with
a heavy force have lain within a few
miles of the city of Savannah, and thei
ambition and avarice have alike burnt
for entrance. Why have they not en
tered the city ? Was it because the
feared the gallant and heroic bands t
Confederate troops with their batieri*
which lay between them and the city,
who would doubtless have lought wi :
terrible desperation upon the soil of the i; !
own Slate, but whose number was in
adequte to so great a task ? No :
was not this alone, but it was thei
I to encounter the compact coltw/i
(State troops who . have stood :

and stroug arms, invincible lu you

here to day and invite aland attack,
without stopping to inquire the weight
of the attacking column or the nature
of its equipments. You have borne
the hardships, fatigues and privations
of camp life like soldiers and like men.
But you have a rich reward in your
own knowledge oi the fact, that your
presence here has in pired the inva
ders with awe, and saved Savannah
from falling*, as Nashville did, nn easy
prey to the enemy.- In the name of the
people of Georgia, I sincerely thank
you! ' "

eneiuy is not yet conquered, and the

sence ; and that so long as the enemy’s
flag waves over the soil of your State,
you bate no homes which you can call
>our own, and no loved ones whom
yftu can call secu; e. If you turn your
btirfcs upon the enemy, he will march
