From the Commander-in-Chief to the lowest private, license is the ruling genius, law a discarded encumbrance.
Among all the hosts of the South, on the other hand, order, discipline, subordination, moderation, are everywhere and in everything apparent.
Yet we are defamed as the rebels, revolutionists, disorganizers; while they claim to be the defenders of the Constitution and laws, the upholders of the integrity of the Government.
