loves, and hence permit no act to sully the splendor of his past achievements. We cannot escape dishonor except by good behavior and a zealous devotion to whatever duties arise before us. Discipline in camp is as necessary as courage in battle. Inattention to the small duties will inevitably result in dishonor and shame. Requiring nothing but what your own honor and the good of the service demands, I confidently expect the zealous co-operation of all good officers and men to remove some recent charges against the discipline of this division. I shall be as zealous of your honor and your interests as of my own; but remember that you are to perform all your duties like officers and soldiers. Good discipline is hurtful only to the feelings of the evil disposed.
