GENERAL ORDERS.
Cantonment HUNT Desrbornt,
Dec. 18Th, 1909.

The president having thought proper 10
require she presence of the general at the
seat of government; and to confer the
com naad of the troops and posts within
this territory and that of Orleans, on brig.
GIN. Hampton, he is to be respected aud
obeyed accordingly. 1870. .-..,,.
In taking leave of this detachment of the
army Of his command, the general wosld
deny his feelings and forget his duty, it he
failed to acknowledge the worth which
eomposes it. The companion Of their at
f1iciions and a spectator Of the ravagcs they
have experienced, more terrible than those
OF the sword, he has participated in their
suHsring,, mingled in their sorrow, and
bears testimony to their fortitude which
is the best guarantee for their good con.
duct 10 circumstances more congeaial to the
pride, sriri, and ambition Of soldier,
should they ever occur.
In rstrospscting the past and contemplas.
i'm the future, the desire to share the des.
tinies Of this corps was natural ono. bat
the national executive has determined other.
wise, and the pain inseperable from the &C.
ea'ion is insensibly alleviate BY the reaec.
ton that the command has been assigned
to an approved officer Of experience and
capacity, who knows how to make the
most Of the means eon6ded Ito him, and
whilst he distinguishes merit, will enforce
duty, and administer justice with an even
hand.
The general has noushs to offer his bre-
thren in arms bur his wishes and his pray
ers for their fame and happiness, and these
will accompany them through every scene
Of lie.
He leaves them with a single request
Persevere in that harmony which is without
example In a corps Of equal strength under
similar trials and be ready at an instant's
warning to devote your lives to the cause
ofyour country.
