LETTER FROM ONE OF THE RMGGoLD Con-
MrrEE. We have been politely furnished with
the following extracts from letter from one of
the gentlemen deputed to proceed to Point lsa
bel to superintend the removal of the remains
of the lamented Major Ringgold to this CITY,
Ono RIVER, Oct. 80, 1896
Dear SirS: On Monday, 26th inst, agreeably
to appointment, our friends and wel-wshers
mot few in number) met US at the Pratt ST.
depot to take leave of US, and to bid us "God
speed" in the melancholy duty that we had I'M
dertaken to perform. The hustle Of leave
taking over, and the sound of the bell at an
end, "Let loose the dogs of war" was the cry;
Cup with your stars and Stripes let them float
in the breeze, and be these mems protection
and their guarantee Of a safe return to home
and friends"
The word was scarcely given before we were
on our way, leaving all that was near and dear
behind: few more minutes, and we were at
tached to that wonderful iron horse, that,
grumbling considerably at first, as if broken
winded, yet grows more vigorous as he becomes
warmer, and pushes on to his point of destina-
ton with an ardour that does credit TO him and
his driver.

We were "expressed'' to Wheeling, and
throughout the whole route were treated with
every kindness and attention 1t would be
improper in me to partlcularze individuals, or,
as one OF the committee, TO speak of acts OF
special kindness. To those who have rendered
themselves so conspicuous by attention to our
committee, have no doubt that some public
manifestation of our appreciation of their kind
ness will hereafter be made, although we feel
that we are indebted for most of it to the SER
vice in which we are engaged, and to the re-
spect entertained by the people of this great
nation for the memory and character of the
late lamented and gallant Ringgold. We ar
rived at Wheeling about O'Clock on the even
ing of the 9th inst, where we overlook MIR,
Mills, the gentleman appointed 10 bring on the
remains of poor Watson. He had unfortunate.
ly lost his trunk and its contents. Knowing
that we had, or should haze had, a common OBJ
jsct in our journey, we delayed day to render
him every assistance in our power, but in vain!
We were obliged to leave him behind. He is
to be ritied! However, we are in hopes he
may soon recover his lost trunk, and follow on.
