There is no rule of num- bers that can measure such success. The very achievement defies compari- son or criticism. When our beloved and great-hearted President, Abraham Lincoln, stated that he was proud to belong to the same race as the Southern soldiers who marched with General Pickett up the slopes of Cemetery Hill, at Gettys- burg, he paid a beautiful and well- merited tribute to the almost match- less soldiers of General Lee, but what veteran of the armies of the Cumber- land was not remin...ded by the remark that the slopes of Mission Ridge at Chattanooga were even steeper than the famed heights of Gettysburg? In the cruel drama of war, what more splendid example of enduring courage does history recall than was shown when Rosecrans' army changed front and stayed the storm of disaster at Mnrfreesboro, turning defeat into victory ; or when glorious old "Pap Thomas, " with half our army of the Cumberland, held at bay from noon till night the entire arrny of Bragg and Longstreet, far off upon the hills of Northern Georgia, at Chickamauga, nearly four hundred miles south of our base of supplies?
