GENERAL GRANT RECONNOITERING THE CONFEDERATE POSITION.

FROM A SKETCH MADE AT THE TIME.

«"Οθεν ή εν πάση ελευθερία τεθραμμένοι οι τώνδε τε πατέρες και ημέτεροι και αυτοί δυτοι και καλώς φύντες πολλά δή και καλά έργα απεφήσαντο εις πάντας ανθρώπους και ιδία και δημοσία, οιόμενοι δεϊν υπέρ της ελευθερίας και Έλλησιν υπέρ “Ελλήνων μάχεσθαι και Βαρβάρους υπέρ απάντων των Ελλήνων.”

"Hence it is that the fathers of these men and ours also, and they themselves likewise, being nurtured in all freedom and well born, have shown before all men many and glorious deeds in public and private, deeming it their duty to fight for the cause of liberty and the Greeks, even against Greeks, and against Barbarians for all the Greeks.”
