I Will Raid The Arsenal And Start

There Never Was A Time When, In My Opinion, Some Way Could Not Be Found To Prevent The Drawing Of The Sword.

When News Of The Surrender First Reached Our Lines Our Men Commenced Firing A Salute Of A Hundred Guns In Honor Of The Victory. I At Once Sent Word, However, To Have It Stopped. The Confederates Were Now Our Prisoners, And We Did Not Want To Exult Over Their Downfall.

The Southern Rebellion Was Largely The Outgrowth Of The Mexican War. Nations, Like Individuals, Are Punished For Their Transgressions. We Got Our Punishment In The Most Sanguinary And Expensive War Of Modern Times.

Let No Guilty Man Escape If It Can Be Avoided. Be Specially Vigilant-or Instruct Those Engaged In The Prosecution Of Fraud To Be-against All Who Insinuate That They Have High Influence To Protect-or To Protect Them. No Personal Consideration Should Stand In The Way Of Performing A Public Duty.

I Appreciate The Fact, And Am Proud Of It, That The Attentions I Am Receiving Are Intended More For Our Country Than For Me Personally.
