the General said :

for the compliment jou have paid me. I
appreciate it most highly, coming as it
dos from North Carolinians. Daring the

for observing, and I must say that if I

Having served thiee years in the array
of Virginia, and one year in the army of
the Southwest, I must give it as my Lest
conviction that more men were left upon
the battle fields of the South from North
Carolina than from any other Slate. I
do not say this because I stand here la
