Ah, my silent friends! You came down here to invade our homes and teach us how to wear the chains of subordination and reverence a violated constitution. In the name of Dixie we bid you welcome to dreamless couch under the sod that drank your blood and may God have mercy on your poor souls and forgive you for all the despicable depradations that you have committed since you crossed the Potomac.
