Before you can again claim them as comrades, you will have to erase from your escutcheons the blemishes which now obscure them; and this you can do if you will but be true to your formes reputation, your country and your homes. You who have fought at Manassas, Richmond, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and from the Wilderness to the banks of James rivers and especially you who were with the immortal Jackson in all his triumphs, are capable of better things. Accuse yourselves, then, to a sense of your manhood and appreciation of the sacred cause in which you are engaged!

Address from General Early to his troops. The following address has been issued by Lieutenant-General Early to his troops. It fully discloses the secret of the recent reverse in the Valley — the conduct of our men in stopping to plunder the enemy's camp: Headquarters Valley District,October 22, 1864. Soldiers of the Army of the Valley: I had hoped to have congratulated you on the splendid victory won by you on the morning of the 19th at Belle grove, on Cedar creek, when you surprised routed two corps of Sheridan's army and drove back several miles the remaining corps, capturing eighteen pieces of artillery, one thousand five hundred prisoners, a number of colors, a large quantity of small arms, and many wagons and with the entire camps of the two routed corps, but I have the mortification of announcing to you that, by your subsequent misconduct, all the benefits of that victory were lost and a serious disaster incurred.

moment, the disaster would have been arrested and the substantial fruits of victory secured; but under the insane dread of being flanked, and a stricken terror of the enemy's cavalry, you would listen to no appeal, threat, or order, and allowed a small body of cavalry to penetrate to our train and carry off a number of pieces of artillery and wagons which your disorder left unprotected.--You have thus obscured that glorious farms won in conjunction with the gallant men of the Army of Southern Virginia, who still remain proudly defiant in the trenches around Richmond and Petersburg.

Had you remained steadfast to your duty and your colors, the victory would have been one of the most brilliant and decisive of the war you would have gloriously retrieved the reverses at Winchester and Fisher's Hill, and entitled yourselves to the admiration and gratitude of your country. But many of you, including some commissioned officers, yielding to disgraceful propensity for plunder, deserted your colors to appropriate to yourselves the abandoned property of the enemy, and subsequently those who had previously remained at them posts, seeing their ranks thinned by the absence of the plunderers, when the enemy, late in the with his shattered columns, made but a to retrieve the fortunes of the

they both sell the honor of the army and the blood of their country for a paltry price. He who follows his colors into the ranks of the enemy in pursuit of victory, disdaining the miserable passion for gathering booty, comes out of the battle with his honor untarnished; and though barefooted and ragged, is far more to be envied than he that is laden with rich spoils gathered in the trail of his victorious comrades. There were some exceptions to the general misconduct on the afternoon of the 19th, but it would be difficult to specify them all. Let those who did their duty be satisfied with the consciousness of having done it, and mourn that their efforts were paralyzed by the misbehavior of others. Let them be consoled, to some extent, by the reflection that the enemy has nothing to boast of on his part. The artillery and wagons taken were not won by his valor. His camps were destroyed, his army terribly shattered and demoralized, his losses far heavier than ours, even in propo
