He Has Lost His Left Arm, But

Alabama Soldiers, All I Ask Of You Is To Keep Up With The Texans!

Abandon Your Animosities And Make Your Sons Americans!

I Have Thought From The Time Of The Cessation Of The Hostilities, That Silence And Patience On The Part Of The South Was The True Course; And I Think So Still. Controversy Of All Kinds Will, In My Opinion, Only Serve To Continue Excitement And Passion, And Will Prevent The Public Mind From The Acknowledgement And Acceptance Of The Truth.

All That The South Has Ever Desired Was That The Union, As Established By Our Forefathers, Should Be Preserved, And That The Government As Originally Organized Should Be Administered In Purity And Truth.

Our Country Demands All Our Strength, All Our Energies. To Resist The Powerful Combination Now Forming Against Us Will Require Every Man At His Place. If Victorious, We Will Have Everything To Hope For In The Future. If Defeated, Nothing Will Be Left For Us To Live For.
