The knights Templar.

The occasion of the funeral obsequies to
Gen. WALLACE IN this city on Monday
and Tuesday brought prominently to the
notice of our citizens branch of the
Masonic order about which more deserves
to be known. In the absence of any
military organization in this region, there
was a real embarrassment felt at the
meeting of citizens how certain formal.
ties at which military Of some sort seemed
indispensable, were to be arranged. They
were happily relieved, however, by an
officer of the Knights Templar, who as.
sured them the order was abundantly
it nobly. From the moment the body
arrived it was surrounded by a guard of
honor, thoroughly trained and understan-
ding their duty to the last minutia They.
escorted the body in true military order
to the residence of Gen. Wallace, guarded
1T faithfully while there, escorted it to the
Court House and guarded it while it lay
in state, and surrounded it with a bril-
liant military escort in the funeral cortege.
They deserve all honor, yet it was with
them labor of love Gen. Wallace had
occupied the highest position in the order,
and ever the first place in the hearts of
the brotherhood. The order was COM
manded during the obsequies by Sir KIT.

Gentlemen: BY reason of my absence
from camp on account of illness brought
on by exposure during the siege of Donel
son, your kind letter (of the 23d of Feb,
addressed to Col. Wallace and myself
was not put into my hands until this day.
| assure you the approving words OF Eel
low citizens and friends, and their con-
CALCULATIONS Ito me and the brave men Of
my command upon that achievement in
which we bore an humble part,) fell crate
fully upon our hearts.
1t did not fall to the lot of my COM
mand to take q very active part in the
scenes of the heaviest fighting Their
principal service was rendered in leading
the first advance upon the ground in form
ing our line of battle, and in frequent
Reconnaissance; and on the afternoon of
tho last day OF the fight it turned cut
that our presence upon leading road in
front Of the enemy, held him in check I'M
til our infantry reinforcements were bro t
up, before which the enemy at last retired
within their trenches.
For the encouragement of my command
| in bold and gallant deeds, will canse
your very kind letter to be read at the
head of the regiment. Hoping that the
old honored flag of the Union may soon
wave triumphant over every foot of our
whole land, and that God in his mercy
will unite the hearts of all our people in
| fraternal affection, l remain very respect
fully, Your fellow citizen and friend,

to the people of Ottawa, that our Regi-
ment is greatly in need of medicins for

CITY PRrNrING.-The city council at
their last meeting awarded the city print

having, according to their decision, hand
cd in the lowest bid. 1t is small matter
The sum total will probably not amount
to $50 for the year--it would have been
less than that at his bid for the last two
years-yet the council, (although we
doubt not acting with perfect honesty
and good faith in the matter) made a
mistake-Oxr bid was trifle the lowest
We are content, however; there is no

OTTAWA, Feb. %, 1862.
To Col WILLIAM II. l.. WALLACE, 1lth Illinois, Acting
To Col. 7. LYLE DIcKEY, 4th Illinois Cavalry:
.Sirs On Monday morning last, the graft
fying intelligence of the capture Of Fort
Donelson was flashed to us along the wires
As you may well imagine, SO important
and pregnant an event, threw our citizens
into the widest excitement, and men
soon gave themselves up to mutual con-
gratulatlons, rcjoicings, and thanks to the
brave men by whom it was accomplished.
All seemed to regard this grooming vic
tory as sure guaranty OF an enduring
Union.
Our reiocings were dompened, it is
true, by intelligence of the loss Of NAM
Grarc mon who have fallen in the contest,
conspicuous among whom was Lieut.. Col
ERwiy, whose remains were deposited in
uneir last resting place here, on yesterday,
with appropriate funeral ceremonies.
"Dace ct decoruIn est pro patria morl.'
We embrace this earliest opportunity Of
congratulating you and the gIlant soldiers
of YOUR respective commands, upon the
late brilliant achievements in which you
and they have well acted SO conspicuous
part
Rest assured, that in our rejoicings to

Volunteers, are remembered, and our
prayers shall be offered, that on other
fields they may gather new honors, and
when the contest shall have ended, las
end it must,) in unconditional surrcn-

to receive from numberless friends, the
welcome due TO the soldier, who has fully
answered his country's call.

At regular meeting OF Ottawa Lodge,
No. A, LO.OF., Bro. 7. e. E. I. Grigcs
presented the following preamble and
resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, This accursed rebellion, in ats
path made hideods by unnamed crimes
and brutal deeds, has called for no greater
sacrifice than was offered up in the life
blood of Gen. W. II. l.. WALLACE upon the
alter OF freedom, il becom mes Us as men, as
citizens, rs neighhors, and as patriots, to
express through our organized form as
Lodge, n sense Of our great loss, therefore,
Res1lced, That as men we are called
upon to mourn the loss Of one of Natures
best types of manhood. Noble in form,
/ large IN heart, genial in feeling. kind in
/ sympathy, firm in purpose, superior in in
/ tellect, General ". IL l.. Wallace was a
| MAN
! Reselced, That as neighbors we have lost
/ a neighbor indeed; just to all men, kind
/ to the feelings Of all, considerable of the
/ interests of all, ready to aid the weak or
counsel the strong, never STOPPING 30 cute
ness or trickery, honor held embodied
possession of the noble soul of our Wal
lace.
/ ReSolced, That as citizens we feel that
we can hardly fill the place of one who so
! truly fulfilled his duties as q citizen Iden-
I tilted with all our interests, prominent in
/ our affairs, his dignity, his selfpossession,
his strong will, his comprehension, and his
knowledge of detail, we'll fitted him to
lead, and acknowledging his duty TO his
city and state he consented to be our
chosen leader Just when we hoped in
pride to have honored ourselves by heap
ing honors on him, just when we looked
the highest, Ottawa only holds his memory
and his buried form
Resoired That as patriots we mourn a
loss that is iryeparable; the loss of pat
riot pnre and true-one o. the first in the
! field alasi one of the first who fell in de-
! fence of right and liberty Fitted for a
soldier by true moral bravery and pure
love OF country; fitted for leader by
calm self possession, comprehensive mill
| tary talent and experience, our hearts
that followed him to the field beating
high in pride and hope at his onward, up
ward tread, are chilled and heavy around
his grave. e.
| Resolced, That while we mourn our own
and our country loss; mourn that he fell
in this our hour of need, we will rcmem-
/ Der that Wallace fell IN glory; fell as a
| hero loves to fall-"with his back to the
! field and his face to the foe" fell as a
patriot loves to fall, shielding his country s
altar from desecrating traitors, bsneath
the glorious stars and stripes; fell as the
good man loves to fall, beneath the APP
proving eye of God; we will remember
that by the hands of our country's bastard
| foes he fell
Resolcea, That in cur loss we will re-
member the wife of the lamented dead,
and in her deeper grief and greater loss
tender to her our warmest spmpathies

CAPT. CoATs.-Capt COATS, of Co. II,
18th III. regiment, has been somewhat I'M
fortunate At the time of the battle Of
Fort Donelson he was home, sick abed,
and his company was led it that engage
ment by L.. Duncan, until the latter was
struck down, when the command devolved
on 1t. Hapeman. At the battle of Pitts
gurg Landing, Capt Coats arrived on a
steamer from Cairo at clock on Sunday
morning, just in time to learn that his
company had but few minutes before
gone out on the field. Without stopping
to equip himself, he ran at full speed until
he overlook them holly engaged with the
enemy. His arrival was greeted with
cheers, when he at once took command
In less than half an hour he was disabled
by two wounds, and was carried to the
rear, the command Of the company again
devolving upon 1t Hapeman.

SAVANNAH, Tenn, March -, lSG2.
J. V. A. HOES, NJ II. SWIFT, and others, Ottawa:
Genticmcn-Yo our letter OF the 22d pit,
addressed 10 myself and Col DICgEY, con-
gratulatory of the victory at Fl Donelson,
is just received. If there is anything more
gratifying than the consciousness OF hav-
ing fulfilled duty, it is the commcrda-
ton of those to whom VIC are best known,
and whose good opinion we prize. thank
you sincerely for your timely remembrance
of this fact, and the graceful and patriotic
manner in which YOU have conveyed your
congratulations.
Illinois indeed has reason TO be proud
of her soldiers. In every field in which
they have had an opportunity, they have
added new laurels TO those the state alrea-
DIV bore; and when the Union Is again
perfect, and the old, honored flag again
hailed as the national ensign from the
shores Of New England to the banks of the
Rio Grande, and from the Falls of st An
thony to the capes of Florida, the part
that Illinois has borne in the sacie ed work
Will be just matter of pride to every loyal
citizen in the state.
Hoping that the contamination we all
so devoutly wish for may soon come, ard
that we in the field may return to receive
those thanks you promise, remain,
Very respectfully,
Your friend,
w. H. L. WALLACE
