Finally your patience and watchingi put the traitor Floyd within your reach, and, though by a precipitate retreat he escaped your grasp, you have the substantial fruits of victory.--Western Virginia belongs to herself, and the invader is expelled from her soil. In the name of our Commander-in-Chief, and in my own. I thank you. But the country will expect, your Commanding General expects, still more from you. A campaign without a defeat, without even a check, must be elicited by deeds of greater lustre.
