150.-address of General Pope.
Washington, Monday, July 14. To the Officers and Soldiers of the Army of Virginia:
By special assignment of the President of the United States, I have assumed command of this army.
I have spent two weeks in learning your whereabouts, your condition, and your wants; in preparing you for active operations, and in placing you in positions from which you can act promptly and to the purpose.
I have come to you from the West, where we have always seen he can most easily advance against the enemy.
Let us study the probable lines of retreat of our opponents, and leave our own to take care of themselves.
Let us look before us and not behind.
Success and glory are in the advance.
Disaster and shame lurk in the rear.
Let us act on this understanding, and it is safe to predict that your banners shall be inscribed with many a glorious deed, and that your names will be dear to your countrymen forever. John Pope, Major-General Commanding.
