That with the great and glorious Lee — the christian gentleman and chivalrous soldier — for our leader, we are content to cast the interests of our struggling; country, believing that his cool judgment and soldierly ability and christian conduct, will eventually lead us forth to victory, honor and liberty. ... we here again pledge our arms and hearts, our lives, our all to the great interest of this struggle, firmly resolved that upon our arniy's success alone rests our independence.
