Stran 642 - State in which the absentee may be at the date of the publication. This amnesty and pardon shall extend to all who have been accused, or who have been convicted and are undergoing sentence for absence without leave or desertion, excepting only those who have been twice convicted of desertion. $ Finally, I conjure my countrywomen, the wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters of the Confederacy — to use their all-powerful...

My judgment is so clear against it that I would scarcely allow the attempt to be made if the general in command should desire to make it.
Stran 97 - Corps for a brigade; and shall be under the immediate orders of the first lieutenant ; and he shall exercise a careful supervision over the sergeants and privates assigned to the portion of the Ambulance Corps for his brigade ; and it shall be the duty of the sergeants to conduct the drills and inspections...

Stran 639 - Were you capable of stooping to it, you could easily surround yourself with those who would fill the press with your laudations, and seek to exalt you for what you had not done, rather than detract from the achievements which will make you and your army the subject of history and object of the world's admiration for generations to come.
Stran 858 - ... completes the sequence — reaches a plane of nobility of both expression and sentiment which rivals that of Mr. Davis. A wave of sadness seems to grip the Southern general as he puts self aside and dedicates his life anew to his unfortunate country. HEADQUARTERS CAMP, Orange Court House, August 22, 1863. His Excellency Jefferson Davis, President Confederate States, Richmond: Mr, President: I have read with attention your letter of the llth instant, and am grateful for your- kind and partial...
