Frye picked up the unexploded shell and threw it out the door into a group of Union soldiers who immediately took to their heels and departed the area

SOLDIERS: I have summoned you together for
the last time. The visions we have cherished of a free
and independent country have vanished, and that country
is now the spoil of the conqueror. I disband your
organization in preference to surrendering it to our
enemies. I am no longer your Commander. After
an association of more than two eventful years, I part
from you with a just pride in the fame of your
achievements and a grateful recollection of your generous
kindness to myself. And at this moment of bidding
you a final adieu, accept the assurance of my unchanging
confidence and regard. Farewell.
JOHN S. MOSBY.
