General Buell., IL relinquishng the command Of
his army to General Rosecrans, closes his gen

ic words
If anything has not been accomplished which
was practically within the sphere Of it's duty,
the General checlfully holds himself responsible
for the failure. The General reflects with pride
that the army under his command has, for the
most part, been cree rom petty )ealuusivs aud
lntrigues; thatit has neither INDUCED in vain
Boosting nor ta'nished its high character by
chickering's and low ordinations. 1t will en-
nance his gratifatlon if 1T shall carry to its
new commander, who already has earned its
confidence and respect by distinguished service,
the same noble qualities which have character
lzed 1T since iii organization. He will pray
that 1t may be he instrument of speedily re-
storing the UnlO to its integrity and there is
no individual inits ranks in whose honor and
welfare he will not feel a special interest
