I ordered the Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana troops to follow. My purpose was to concen- trate the entire strength of the Department, await negotiations, and, if possible, secure terms alike honorable to soldier and citizen. Failing in thie, I intended to struggle to the last, and, with an army united in purpose. firm in resolve, and battling for the right, I believed that God .would yet give us the vic- ie Texas troops tory. I reached here to find disbanded and hastened to their homes. They had forsaken their colors and commanders; had abandoned the cause for which they were struggling, and appropriated the public prop- erty to their personal use. Soldiers, I am left & commander without an army; & general witbonut troops. You have made your choice. Tiotic, but itis final. 1 pray you may not live to regretit. The enemy will now possess your country, and dictaie hisown laws. You have voluntarily destroyed your organization, and thrown away It was unwise and unpat all means of resistance. Your present duty is plain Return to your families. Resume the occupations of peace. Yield obedience to the Jaws. Labor to restore order.
