that time, been in all respects gentlemanly
and considerate officer, and has sought, by
every means in his power, to render our posi-
ton as pleasant as circumstances and proper
sense OF duty, would allow; and
Whereas, having been this morning ordered
away for other duty, thus severing the pleasant
associations which we have enjoyed while under
his command, the peculiar circumstances under
which we separate call upon us to give expires
sion to our appreciation of his many acts Of
kindness; therefore
Resolped, That while we cheerfully acquiesce
in the necessity which the war in which we are
engaged imposes upon us, we cannot bat regret
that we are thus compelled to separate from
one who has rendered himself dear to us.
