Companions in Arms-In this vast de-
partment of mountains aud forests, in the
rains of summer, the cold and storms of
winter, for nine months, | have witnessed
your accomplishing zeal and activity, your
watchings, your marchings and your com,
bats. Under God, to your bravery and
good conduct it is due that not single
reverse has attended our arms in all these
vast regions.
Wherever l go shall bear with me thc
remembrance of men who, leaving home
and its endearmcnts against the force of
all former tastes and habits, have under
taken to inure themselves TO the tolls, pr;-
vations, hardships and dangers of mill

But comrades, proud as | al of the
manly energy you have thus displayed, L
am prouder still to bear testimony to the
pure and lofty patriotism which has called
it forth.
No mean and sectional spirit, no low
uciling to reckless leadership, no blind
and ignorant fanatic;slp has animated you.
BY your intelligence, your magnannimity
and forbearance towards those whom the
rebellion has mislod, you have shown that
you entered into the conflict with a con.
viction that the interest Of free govern
ment and even of human freedom itself
opposed by arbitrary and despotic will, by
rebellion in favor Of dcspotism, lay in the
issue, and that you fought for the liberties
Of all--both North and South,
Such men deserve to bo-and will be
free themselves, or, dying, will bcQucath
liberty and a glorious name to their pos

That it may be your happy lot, in tho

to be free and happy yourselves, and to
bequeath freedom, happiness and glori-
GUS name to your children, is my cherished
wish and hope.

And so it will be, of course. If these
States are overrun with wandering and

simyly for their bread and clothes, the
price Of labor will naturally run down to
a low figure, and the white laberers will
feel the FIRST pressure.
