The Reception.

The reception given by our citizens to
Captains Andrews and Inman was largely
attended. The full band with Place, Tut
tie and Lamb at its head, cxcclled itself
in stirring and exquisite music, after
which Gen. Mitchell was called to the
chair and introduced the guests of the
evening, with few appropriate remarks,
stating that the Ladies were fortunate in
having at their command, two command
ers, each Of whom had distinguished HIM
self in the service Of his country, Captain
lnman, oy actual service in battle, and
Captain Andrews by bis gallant protest
against, and earnest efforts to prevent, the
only disgrace which has fallen on the es-
cutcheon of Minnesota during tins war
He was glad to sec him looking so we'll
after his three months experience, down
in Dixic-"livins on mule."
Captain ANDREWS was enthusiastically
chccred, and began his remarks with a
slight rccapitulation of the surrender at
Murfrccsboro, said it was the greatest
lost opportunity Of the war, that the
Third Regiment could there have won
immortality and have done the country a
distinguished service, that the men had
been wishing for just such a chance to
fight foe Of superior numbers, the camp
guard Of nineteen men had repclled three
charges, before they we're overpowcrcd
and the camp pIundercd, aud in the charge
made by the Georgia cavalry they broke
and fed in confusion without having
made any impression on our lines. This
had inspired the men with enthusiasm,
aud confidence in their own ability and to
be surrendered without battle was deeply
notifying. Captain Andrews had lost
confidence in Col. Testers fighting quail
tics before this time, as he. stated here
privately.) ..-H .-.a-J aas
