PATRIOTIC SENTIMENT.

And may you, noble Veterans, stand firm in the vindica­tion of truth! 
So that when, on the eternal camping ground, you meet your comrades, 
who died, believing that success would crown our arms, you can say 
to them: Though ours the fate to furl our glorious banner, to witness 
the defeat of hopes dearer than life; yet, we found our mission, and 
have fulfilled it.  We have vindicated you, who went before us; we 
have proved that you are not rebels, but patriots; we have upheld 
truth.  And, now we bring to you tidings that the world proclaims:-
Honorable, and true, and just, and right, were the men of the 
Confederacy." - Miss Dunovant.
