HoYoRs TO GEs. PALFREY.- -Brigadier. General
Palfrey returned to this city on Sunday, from his
European and bridal tour. On Monday afternoon
the Orleans Artillery fred salute in his honor.
What followed, or the account thereof, we borrow
from one of our neighbors evening issue of yes
terday:
Later in the evening, in pursuance Of an order
issued by Major P. E. Theard, commanding the
Louisiana Legion by inte1.in the officers Of the
various companies met and proceeded to Gen. Pal
irey's residence on Julia street, to make him
complimentary visit. They found the General in
good health and spirits, and looking indeed younger
than when he left for Europe some four months
ago, and ready to receive them with his character
istic hospitality.
in these words a
'e9enerdl- The Orleans Artillery has already
this evening, by firing the usual salute, informed
the people Of this city Of yoar arrival.
/" it is with no ordinary pleasure that, in the
name Of my brother officers and in my own name,
welcome your safe return among us. The hour
is supreme, and in spite of our efforts fears are
entertained for the maintenance of our beloved
Union. Therefore, General, when impending
dangers may threaten our institutions, we are
happy to know that every Seutherner will be at
| his post, ready to stand for the defence Of our
rights ready to die for the protection OF our insti
tutiona. In your patriotism, wisdom and prudence,
| in your ability, General, We have confidence, and
shall always be ready to obey your orders at the
1 hour of danger.
!. The louisiana Legion has slowly progressed
/
nerve oil war so indispensable for the organization
4 and equipment Of military companies. We are
without money, without arms, without munitions
| of war. But, let US hope that the next Legisla-
| ture will provide for all our wants
| & And now, General before resigning to you the
| command which has temporarily been in my hands,
| allow me to congratulate you on your marriage,
and to call the blessings OF God on your amiable
| bride.m
4 Our memory does not serve rs faithfully enough
to do full Justice to Major Theard's remarks.
i Gen. PaIfrey replied with evident emotion, re
| marking that he had been to Europe, making
| visit to his BRIDES family. when the news of th
political agtations that troubled our country mad
him hurry back sooner than he had intended. Fl
made haste to be among US and with US, ready 7
| do his duty The times were certainly critical an
dangers threatened that might cause the mtar
. of New Orleans to give proof OF their patriotism
He was soldier, and he would remind the corps
| officers now around him that obedienee to order
was the first duty of soldier Whatever might b
| each individuals private opinion, in military ma
tiers their action must be guided by superior orders
The military of New Orleans ought not to take On
part in political movements, as disunionists 9
unionists, but remain prepared and ready to obe
the call of the Governor of the State, their Con
mander-in- Chief, from whom all orders emanate
He knew that there was not man in the glorieu
old Legion who would hesitate to do his duty an
take up arms when necessary, be it to meet fol
eign or domestic foe.
With regard TO the financial affairs of the mil
tary, and the want Of necessary supplies and arms
organization, he hoped and knew that the mex
Legislature would see the error of former session
4 and would vote the necessary appropriation. ~
military would then soon attain that importanc
) which characterized them in old times, and whic
they ought always to have preserved.
Gen. Palfrey closed by communicating to til
officers various instructions tending to the moi
perfect organization Of their corps, and diferel
measures tpken by him, which showed that he ha
lost no time since his arrival.
+ After drinking the BRIDES health in q bumper
i champagne, the company, upon the invitation
|. General Palfrey, proceeded to pay visit to Il
4 veteran General Fwiggs, Of the United Stat
n Army, who had arrived in the morning, en- ron
g for Texas. Upon arriving at the residence of &c
p Myers, (the Generals sonn.iaw,) on Camp stree
r it was found that Gen. Twiggs, being slightly ind
n posed from the fatigues of his Journey had retir
,s to bed. Col. Myers and some OF his brother oi
i GERS received the company, who, after an int
!. change of compliments and cnurtesies returned
!, General Palfrey's house, to finish mammoth bo
9. of punch that had been cooling for them The
y again, patriotic sentiments and toasts were
=. wanting, and after another hour most agreeal
!: y spent, the officers retired, highly satisfied W
=. II their evenings occupation. We noticed throue
r out this little impromptu affair an esprit de COZ
T. and patriotic community OF feeling which are gra
flying to behold in the military of the Crescent C
Y an Institution that ought 10 be encouraged by Sta
and city aid, for in it we will find our most imme
II ate means of defence in case of danger.
