place them in confinement for any dsordcrly
act but in all cases, when they arrested, to de.
liver them to the military commandant at For.
rest Hall, and to state the offence for which
the arrest was made. The propriety, indeed,
the necessity for this course, will be readily

Quoted themselves with a propr,eiy of conduct

citation Of the valor and patriotism which have
prompted the sixtyninth regiment to repair
here for the defence Of our homes, our lives,
aud our capital, and how much we would re-.
grct any discourtesy to friends to whom we owe
n debt Of gratitude that can never be can oelled.
Wishing you and your regiment all the sue.
cess and happiness that you can desire for
yourselves, | remain, with great respect, your
