Moore, with the Oficers OF their re-
spective Stalls, Of Alabama, are hereby
honorably discharged. In separating
officially from those gentlemen and the
officers and troops that compose their
commands. the Major General would
do injustice 10 his own feelings, were
be TO omit the expression Of the high
sense which he entertains for their good
conduct aud soldierly deportment.-
They have his entire appreciation and
deserve that Of their Country.
The Tennessee Brigade under Bril-
gadier- General Armstrong. deserves
the highest commentator for the
prompt and effective manner in which
they have performed the duties that
deyolved on them. while they were de-
detained in the Greek Country. They
are now on their march 10 Florida,
where a determined and sctive enemy
aSaits them. The sante promptness
aud attention TO duty. which distin.
guished them here. win ensure them
victory there.

early in October.
The srder, discipline and good con-
duct which they have displayed
throughout this campaign, and the rea-
diness with which every duty has
been performed BY Officers and Sol
diers, do them the highest honor.
The Marines will be necessarily de-
tanned some time longer in this coun-
try. Both officers and men have acted
IN the best manner. and have perform
ed every duty which has devolved up
on them With promptness and cor
reetness, creditable TO themselves and
characteristic Of the corps. The GAL
lantry which prompted them 10 voinn-
teer for service in the field, will be long
remembered by The Army. and BY none
more gratefully than BY The Major Gen.
eYal Commanding.
