The weekly Butte record., 1861-07-13

MS paper upon that strait and narrow way
which leads to life everlasting" politically
another reason for our present course.
AgaIn-editors owe each other courtesy
which no political differences or diverse na-
tionalities can destroy We saw his paper ly-
ing idle, himself absent, his business suffering,
and, as brother Quill, we rushed to his rescue
We do it to preserve the reputation of his
sheet, to keep it in circuation-to preserve
the balance between his business and his ab-
sence, and preserve so worthy sheet as the
Register from dying out and being forgotten
10 be sure we have slightly altered the name
OF his sheet-perhaps little its tone, possibly
somewhat its ppearanee-otherwise it is the
same sheet with different editor.
The vaedictory is worthy Of being preserved
1t is as follows:
ohnson, wherever you are
whittier lurking in the recesses of the dim
woods, or fleeing fugitive on the open plain
under the broad canopy of Heaven-Good
Bye We never saw your countenance, never
expect to, never want to, but for all that, old
fellow, we won't be proud so johnson, good
bye, and take care of yourself.
We are going to leave you, Johnson-going
to leave you without so much as looking into
your honest eyes, or clasping your manly hand,
and even without so much as giving utterance
to your face of God bless you We're right
sorry, we are that you didn't stay with US and
attend to your domestic and other affairs and
not leave everything to skulk away and lose
yourself never to return. Oh johnson, why
did you-how could you do this ?
johnson, we leave you tonight-we're going
where the bullets are thick and mosquitoes
thlcker-we may never return-if we do not,
old Boy, remember u.s. We sat at your table,
we stole Latin from your" Dictionary of Latin
Quotation" wrote Union articles with
your pen, with your ink, and on your paper
we printed them on your Press, our boys set
'em up with your types, they used your gal
leys, your shooting sticks" your chases,"
your "quads," your "spaces," your "rules,"
your everything-we drank some poor whisky
out of your bottle; and now, johnson, after
doing all this for you, you won't forget US,
will you? Keep US in mind, remember US in
your evening prayers, and your morning pray
ers too, when you say them, if you do say
them and if you put up petition at midday,
don't forget US then; or if you awake in the
solemn stiffness of the night and implore
benson upon the absent, remember US then
Once more, Johnson-our heart pains US to
say it-that sorrowful word-but once more,
and forever, johnson, GooD BYE! If you
come our way, call. johnson, adeu
! Unfortunately the exigences of the cam
paign required the Iowa First to march
towards Boonville. Their farewell to the den-
liens of Macon City is quite sorrowful:
AU REvoIR Citizens of Macon City, this
is the first and last number of "Our Whole
| Union or Missouri Register. 1t contains our
Salutatory-it also contains our FAREWELL
Our troops are indebted to you for many
kindnesses, for which the God of Nations and
of Patriots, thousand times, bless you To
those to whom the old time honored Stars and
Stripes are dearer than the black flag of Dis
union, we would say be frm-yield not an
inch-better million times fill Patriots
grave than q traitors position. Stick to the
old Banner of our Fathers so long as there
remains enough of it to float upon the free
winds, and trust that Right eventually MUST
and WILL conquer.
For the whole Regiment and for ourself, we
once more bid you regretful, perhaps an eter-
nal, FAREWELL
| Here endeth the first lesson
