Of strange, discordant, and even, hostile elements, we gathered from the four winds, and formed and fought the battle through, under the constant hot fire of a disciplined, proud, and pampered enemy. Did we brave all then to falter now? ? now when that same enemy is wavering, dissevered, and belligerent? The result is not doubtful. We shall not fail ? if we stand firm, we shall not fail.
