ton Of all the lonarR and enolnments of his
Captaincy, in our favor. The language 80
bracpng this treaty Of cession, runs thus:
You can strike out that plain Mr." neigh.
Dor I~Iueston, and attach our title of "Cdp-
tain" in its stead. We resign Ia your favor,
and by these presents rellnquIsh 10 you all our
right to the digni.ied Office YOU so much covet.
We feel a little OheIlish, 10 be sure; but then
the thing must be said, 70
o, new, forever,
Farewell the rotc-de-6ou : farewell sMm-Lang ;
Farewell the regimcntalS and parndes,
That make militia herocs.O farewell!
Farewell, old horse! and farewell counter
marching.
The big black drummer and the squaling fife,
The b"mg-dum-dady: and all quality.
Pride. pomp and r0nh confusion of 4 trainine!
And o, my U)rusly sword, whose savage
thrust
Was never made save as a counterfeit. :
Farewell! The Captains occupations gone,
Farewell to the whole squad of you! Good
by!
Your Captain has got other fish TO fry,
and is willing that the editor Of the Baton
Rougc Gazete should take The honor, title,
responsibility and ctnoluments-free gratis for
nothing. You can have The sword, too, Hues-
| ton, and the feather when il comes. Our
high lecied boots, got up expressly for the
occasion and with the idea thai with them we
could look over common folks, we have raced,
and now use for "cvery day" wear. The
times are hard and we must he prudent.
That's very kind in you, Mr., Kendall, TO be
sure-very kind but we can't acccp'-our
