After fcfi years arduous. j'ice,csiArkedyy unsurpae?ed courage and fortitude, tbe-army f NortherrTVirginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources. I need not tell the survivors pf so many hard fought battles, who have remained steadfast to the last, , that I have consented to this result from no distrust-of them. Rut feeling that Valor an$ devotion could accomplish nothing that could compensate for the loss that would fiave attended the continuance of the contest, I determined to avoid the useless sacrifice of those whose past services .have endeared them to their coufsTmen. By terms of the agreement, officers and men 4oan return to thcu homes and remain until ex changed. - ' You will take th you the satisfaction that proceeds from the consciousness of duty faith fully performed, and I earnestly pray that a merciful God will extend to you his blessing and protection. ; With an unceasing admiration of your con stancy a4 devotion to your country, and grate- Jul reuieimbrance 01 vour kind ana geicerous ate farewell.
