In their conviction, who thought that thoy wore rijit to dofond their own, tiieir natire land, ita soil; it altars and it honor. They felt that they were tio rebel and no traitori in obeying tlioir State sovereignties, and they thought - that it was lawful to tako up arm under tbeir mandates, authorized expressly by the Federal Constitution, to repel iuru fiion or to suppress insurrection, when Uiere wits euch "imminent danger at not to admit of delay." Tho only reason for delay which couldhavoboen demanded of them was to have appealed to tho inva- hdera themselves for defence against their own invasion : and whether there was imminent danger or not, events have proved. They have bean invaded until every blnde of grass has been trodden down, until every sanctuary or temple, and fane, and altar, and h )me lias been profaned. Tho most of these men had no etatoly mansions for their homes; no slaves to plow and plant any broad fields of theirs; no stocks or investments in interest-bearing funds. They wore' poor, but proudly patriotic and indomitably brave. Their country was tiieir only her itage. Tho mothers and wives and daughters buckle J on the belts, and 6ent husbands and sons and brothers forth, and women toiled for the bread and spun the raiment of '-little ones" of "shanty" homes in country, or shops in town, whilst tbeir champions of defence were in their country's camps, or marches, or trenches, or battles ! They faithfully followed leaders whom they trusted and honored. Nor Cabinet-', nor Congress, nor Goinm!-ts:ti iat, nor Quartermasters Department, nor speculators, nor spies, nor renegades, nor enemy's ciuissarids, norpoverty, n r privation, nor heat, nor cold, nor sufferings, nor toil, nor danger, nor wounds, nor death could impair their constancy ! They fought with a devout confidence and courage which was un conquerable eavo by -starvation, block ade, overwheltniniug numbers, foreign dopes and mercenaries Vankeodom, Ne grodom and death ! Prodig'os of valor, miracles of victories, undoubted and iin doubting devotion, and enduiance to tho laBt, entitled them to honors ot surren der, which folded th arms of their, vic tors and extorted front them even cheers on tho baitle tield where at last they yielded for Peace ! Alas ! how many thousands had fallen beforo their few surviving comrades laid down their arms, of tbese'tucu of tho ranks their beloved leader, Gen. 1. E. Lee, said to me, dur ing the last winter on the lines: "Sir, the men of this war who will deserve the most honor and gratitude, are not the men of rank, but the men of the ranks the privates !" I cordially concurred in the justice and truth of tho compli ment for I had seen them tried on the rocks of Coal river, of Gauley and the Poco taligo. I had tested their endurance in the marches and countermarches, and scouting and skirmishing of the Kanawha Valley; arid I had seen thorn in a first ngtii anu victory against an onus at ry, and their hut staud against jgrCater odds on the Sewall Mountains; I had seen their constancy and courago proved at Hawk's Nesf, at Honey Greek, at Big Creek, at Carnitax Fen y, and at Camp Defiance, in Northwestern Virginia. I had seen them lead with alacrity to the defence of 11 anoke Island, knowing when they wont that they could not re turn only as captives or corpses. I have seen them in tho "Slaughter Pen" there slay twice their own numbers baf re they - atackeilliiJix-uia-jr,w,liicli tbey had no atnmuni ion. 1 have recti them employ - tbeir leisiro and amuse their ennui at ChafhVs Farm bIWecTianic arts for the army of f. u blockade country 1 I have seen their efficiency on the Peninsulas of the James and York, and of the Cuicha horainy and Pntiittuky. I hare seen their successful strategy at Williamsburg and Whitaker'a Mill, and their steadiness in the din of metal at Malvern Hill. I have seen their temper and spirit tried in the lagoons and galls of the Eduto and Stone, and their pluck on John's Island, in South Carolina. I have seen the shouts of the Virginia men when ordered back from South, Carolina and Florida to rally again around the altars of home, and heard them raise the alog.-tn of "Old Virginia Never Tire," when they pressed forward to open the defile at Nottoway Bridge, and rushed to, Petersburg in time twice to save the Cockade City against odus ot more tnan teo M one. .1 have seen them drive throngh the barricade r and cut at Walthall Junction, and storm only, but for twice five days successive figUtingslliAveeeall!

The blessed and ever glorious dead wero not there to surren der, and they are uot hero to defend their memories from tho taint of the re proach of rebellion and, treason. Alas ! I am alive and here, and am bound at every hazard, to declaro that tho-e men wore no rebels, anu no traitors.
