M r. Vest said that he considered it
his duty to make this statement in
order that the men who were said to
have refused this offer at the hands of
1‘resident Lincoln, should not be made
to sin in their graves, adding, “for if
they had refused what was said to
have been tendered to them by the
president they would have been acces

fell from that time in defense of the-
Confederate cause, and they should
