dence Of our interest in you as soldiers Of the
Union, and as token Of our grateful admi
ration for the yalor and hcroism displayed by
you on the memorable field Of Pea Ridge.
We greet you to-day, not as strangers, but
as trueiand loyel friends, for, though but one
of your number is personally known to us in
far off Massachusetts,, our hearts have fol-
lowed you with prayer, and with hopeful
expectation Of being gladdened by your sue.

!. We oave anxiously looked for tidings Of
you from those early September days when
you were first assembled at Camp Union, to
the cold dark days of the late winter, and
although the order onwo,d, was long delayed,
yet when it came, so readily did you obey it,
that we found it no easy task, even in lmagi-
anation, to keep up with the 'double quick
of the "lowa Grey Hounds" The memory
of the patient devotion with which you have
unfalteringly borne toll, fatigue, hunger, and
privation, and the recollection of your brave
and gallant deeds on the 7th and 9Th of
March, 1862, will lorg be treasured in our
hearts, and although we think with sorrow
Of the sad price ofsuch a victory, and the
unbidden tears must flow at the thought OF
the brave hearts now stilled forever, yet we
feel pride in the consciousness that her
noble sons feel no sacrifice too great for their
and our beloved conntry .@a
God bless the Union God bless you and
all soldiers of the Union armies, is the lervent
prayer of your Country women in Massachu-
sets.

Standard with the arms Of Massachusetts and

brace that proud old flag resolved at every
hazard and every cost to maintain it rs the
emblem of an undivided nationality, against
foes without and traitors within.
Why this Regiment among the many that
have rendered distinguished service upon
hard fought fields of the West, should be
chosen as the recipient Of so noble and gener.
ous tes timonial, know not. But this
know. none other could more highly appreci-
ate tho honor of such a choice That noble
old Commonwealth has always stood pre-.
eminent for sacrifices in the cause of the
country. The heroism Of its people has
risen superior to every peril and every dan.
ger. From it has sprung martyrs, heroes
and statesmen, whoes deeds sled imperlsha-
bic lustre on the American name. Such
examples we are proud to emulate.
That the daughters of these sires have
Thought US not unworthy of this tok en- of ap.
proval will ever be cherished in greatful re.
membrance. Many in this regiment remcm
ber with tenderest emotions their kindred Of
the Old Bay State. Here is q kindly Offering
from Home, to remind you Of their love. And
here men of every State ana cline, is moth
er and sister speaking to you words of cheer
to animate and strengthen you in the path of
duty and of peril Thus encouraged: be
resolved that by the blessings of God, nc
traitors hand raised to dim the luster of that
flag shall prosper This purpose transmit-
ted from sire to son, our country, her laws
and institutions will live while the granite
foundations of Old plynloth endure, or the
floods Of the west flow to the ocean. ,@%
Upon the folds of this flag is inscribed on

INCIDENTS OF THE LATE BATTLE or LEEA.
koS.-During the battle at Lebanon many
incidents occurred which src worthy Of no
tice, and are reported to US ny an officer
who was in the battle. When the battle
was raging 6ercest, two brothers met and
recognized each other-one being in Col
Wolford's regiment, tho other in Morgan's
thieving band. They immediately fired .t
one another, each missing his mark, The
one in Wolford's regiment said, after the
battle was over, "Pm id glad that didn't
kill my brother, though he is a traitor and
deserves DEATH" This tragic incident Of our
civil war recalls, with painful vividuess, the
memorable and bloody sccuo in the play Of
King Henry W., which conhmemorates the
great civil war of England, which is as fol
lows a-. .
