I. Brave comrades, as one of your generals who has shared in your perils and sympathize in your cheers for victory when I pass. The name of this division is marked; Southern records are full of you. In attack you have driven them; when assailed you have repulsed them. Be it so to the end. Now, regiments, we give you a name, engraft on it fresh laurels.
