Mr.. Olampitt, tender through you to your Eel:
low-soldiers my hearty thanks for this beautiful
gin, which, though to me unexpected, Is, as
sure you, none the less pleasant and agreeable.
You have alluded, sir, to the wellsprings Of that
higher and holier nature Of man which are
loosened upon occasions like the present, and the
gushings forth of living water from the great
fountain Of memory upon such festive scenes and
social reunions as the one that now engages our
minds and hearts Allow me to remark that I
cordially endorse the sentiments, and feel In my
own heart the beatings Of proud consciousness
that as soldierswe are cementing the bonds Of our
union by this social reunion. You have alluded,
sir, to the dark cloud which overhangs our be-
loved country and to the duty Of the citizen sol
ulcr. nope, Hentcmen, tndt the dangers WHICH
threaten to entail upon US the horrors Of civil
war may be arrested; but should the worst come,
1 feel that my fellow-soldiers will be found bat
tling on the side Of right. Gentlemen, my heart
this gift so handsomely presented, and allow me
to wish you, as company and individuals, a happy
new year and many returns.

blood Of the disorderly youths. He went to a
yelling couple at the corner Of Seventh street and
