shoulder in tiie Revolution,, an]d had
experienced;, a’ common suffering, a
common danger and a common Victory,
by a strange combination of. circum
stances, now imbrue their hands in
each other’s blood.’ ‘ ‘ •’
The achievements of cur men, under
the-m<ipt disadvantageous circumstances
and almost insurmountable difiaulties;
the inauiy agd. indefatigable will and
perseverance by. which the obstacles
were in many instances overcome, were,
at once, the pride of their friends and
admiration of tlieir fees,
Tlie North had' 'the advantage of
wealth, numbers, ■the 'snpport of the
general government, and the control bf
the national army and navy. Her sol
diers were better equipped, and better
provided with all the materials of war,
than those of the South. The Confed
erate army numbered owe man for every
tu-o or three of the Federals. Bat while
our men lasted, they riade up iu coinage
and endurance what.' they.'Tanked iu
numbers and supplies. A navy was born
upon the ocean; iron ore was brought
forth from our mines aud moulded into
defensive weapons; .church bells .were,
iu many instances, reuyoyeil from, their,
s lured duty and converted into camion’.
Southern industry and enterprise made
ready for the approaching conflict. It
is true that our finances were limited,
but our soldiers thought little of' pay.
They looked beyond the smoke and-
carnage of battle, and ' the hardships of
war, to their peaceful homes and the
perpetuation of a. free government. They
fought for their glbu's; the sanctity of
of their firesides, and t j maintain those
. institutions so dear to the hearts of the
American, people. From the beginning
to, the end of tlie war there was” ex
hibited no cause to doubt the courage
and patriotism of the states that com
posed the Obnfederaey. . "Southern
valor shone as brightly then as it did in
the wars of 177G and 1S.12,” and when
the, war closed, though tattered and
torn, uilr banner was juried without dim
stain of dishonor upon tne spot less pur
ity of its folds; and the Southern sword
was sbeal lied’without, one taint of cow
ardice upon iis faithful blade.
We cannot bestow top much -praise
on the oouduot-bf -the men who led our
soldeiers, with so much success, dur
ing the war.
