We Have Only One Rule Here -

I Would Rather Die A Thousand Deaths Than Surrender.

The Enemy Is Here, And If We Do Not Whip Him, He Will Whip Us.

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.

With All My Devotion To The Union, And The Feeling Of Loyalty And Duty Of An American Citizen, I Have Not Been Able To Make Up My Mind To Raise My Hand Against My Relative, My Children, My Home. I Have, Therefore, Resigned My Commission In The Army.

Duty Is The Sublimest Work In The English Language.
