Officers and Soldiers Of the Department Of FEST
f7n Ffryinsd:
You have closed an a1duous campaign with
honor to yourselves and satisfaction to the
country. None but those who have been with
you, as have, can fully appreciate your trials
and priyations.
Your triumph has been three follower
your Own inexperience, the obstacles Of na-
tu1c, and the rebel forces.
When our gallant young commander WAS
called from us, after the disaster Of Bail Run,
this depart ment Was left with less than fifteen
Thousand men to guard three hundred miles of
railroad and three hundred miles Of frontier,
exposed to batSAlcAackcrs and the forces Of
Generals Floyd, Wisc and jackson. The north
| western pass into it was fortified and held,
Cheat Mountain secured, the rebel assaults
there Yictoriously rcpeucd, and the Kenawha
! Valley occupied.
| A march Of one hundred and twelve miles,
over bad roads, brought you upon F1oyd'6 in
| trenched position, whence the rebels were
| dislodged and chased to SeweH. Finally your
patience and Watehings put the traitor Floyd
within your reach, and though by q pFcclpi-
tate retreat he escaped your grasp, Jou have
| the substantial fruits Of victory. Western

Command Chief, and in my oWn, thank
You.
| nlauding General eXpects-5tiu more from
you. 4 campaign without defeat, without
| even check, must be eclpsed by deeds OF
greater lustTe.
To this end now call upon you for your
| own future honor to devote yourselves with
| energy and zeal to perfect yourselves in all
| that pertains to drill, Instruction and disci-
| pinc. Let every officer and every soldier be
| emulous to teach and learn the frings, Light
infantry drill, guard duty, company discipline
and police
Your commanding General proposes to
| procure everything necessary TO- pre-
| pare you for your coming work, and will soon
| organize boards of examiners, who will rid
the service Of the disgrace and soldiers Of the
incubus Of incompetent {and worthless otH
GERS who hold the positions and receive the
pay without having the will or the ability to
perform the duties Of their positions.
Remember you are fighting for your coun
try, for your flag, for your homes.
| Your enemies are lmplacable in their hatreu
Of you; there is no measure of falsehood to
which they have not resoTted to blacEcr

be prepared to teach them, not only lesson:

NEW YogK, Dee. 30.-At q conference Of
our city banks, Saturday evening, ~ y unani-
nous vote they resolved upon IN immediate
suspension Of specie payment: The heavy
dra1ts on their coin, caused by their large ad-
vance to the Government, rendered this step
in their Judgment necessary: We presume it
will be quite generally followed in the large
cities, though the d1ajn upon our city banks
results from causes which tend rlther to
strengthen than weaken the banks OF the in
terror.
New YoRK, Dec. 30.-The bank statement
shows decrease in loans Of 81 ,G21, So: i de-
crease i'll specie Of S7Isi555,65 L decrease i'll
circulation Of s159, ,so5; and decrease in de-
posts Of S<85425, IS 4425 ,603.
On Saturday evening the banks did not hold
much over 50, coo, Coo in specie. Many Of the
banks are paying specie as usual, while others
are paying small snms to customers. There
is little demand however. Arrangements
have been made for au advance Of specie to

thereon till January LIST.

weighty with its record of events. We
have made History fast since the last New
Year. In centuries Of Human Progress
no twelyemonth has borne a like burden
Of what so concerns the veal or woe of SO

War vas not heard in all our

States, past security, and faith in our an
tecedents forbade all apprehension Of war,
and our citizens turned again to their farms
