It is idle to recount all these nintakes

But let me recapitulate briefly a few other
fa. In our hl.tory, .abaeoueiit to the ter
minatton of the great rebellion. Our post

Such was, and is, my conception of the
duty of a soldier. ,'
In Angust, 1864, I wa. re-elected a
member of the legislature of North Caro
lina, artd at Its first session w renc
political co-operatien.
The military situation of the Confeder
acy wa. at that time very grave, and in
deed, I considered it utterly hopeless.
While in the military service I could not,
consistently with raity, make known my
well-grounded apprehensjoiuJ ; hut when
I he.camlegisl.ilr, It imperatKe on
me to dissolve them. Such Wa .lben, and
is now, my view of the. re.pitve obliga
