The tents in their ranks were filled as soon as made.

Firing as they marched, their aim was splendid, their coolness was superb, and their courage aroused the admiration of their comrades.

Their advance was greeted with wild cheers from the white regiment's, and with an answering shout they pressed onward over the trenches they had taken close in the pursuit of the retreating enemy.

The war has not shown greater heroism.

The men whose own freedom was baptized with blood have proved themselves capable of giving up their lives that others may be free.
