But, near the same ground, the hero of twenty victories won back the goddess to our country's standard, and the unpretending Grant led the hosts of Freedom to triumph again. (Vociferous applause.) The impetuous Sherman, along the slopes and summit of Mission Ridge, leads his brave legions to victory at the cannon's 23 mouth ; the cool and dauntless Thomas, with his gallant vete- rans, flashes terror into the hearts of the foe ; but it is reserved for fighting Joe Hooker and his splendid corps, ...following the flight of the American eagle, to scale the steep sides of Lookout Mountain, snatch victory from the rebels on its lofty summit, and re-echo in pealing thunders, above the clouds, the shouts of triumph from the armies below. (Great applause.) The investment of Knoxville by Longstreet, the masterly strategy with which Potter deceived and out-mauouvered the rebel chief, the siege, the various assaults and sallies, the mur- derous charge and bloody repulse, the daring attempt upon Fort Saunders, where young Benjamin won immortal honor by his undaunted daring, the deadly conflict, the disastrous retreat, have given many a name to a proud immortality — ■** And Manson, Potter, White, And Parke, are dashing through the fight; Ferrero, Hascall, Carter, rush Secession's hydra head to crush; And waving high his glittering sword, The Morgan-tamer Shackelford Pants to hegin the steeple-chase, And win again immortal race !" The gallant Saunders, with his new-born star, Gleams for a moment through the cloud of war, Yields, the young hero, on the bloody sod, His name to glory, and kis soul to God I ■" While Burnside proved, on sea and land, Full worthy of his high command, With genial, but undaunted soul, Arrays and well directs the whole ; Moves on his veteran army corps, And fadeless laurels plucks once more.
