Gen. Lander's Last Speech.

Gen Lander's last public act was to pro.
mote. private Cannon for his bravery at
BloomCry Gap, and his last public speech
was the following, on the presentAtion Of
colors to the Sixty-sixth Ohio Volunteers,
Col. Candy, on the 22d of February:
You have asked me to present to you this
regimental lag-this emblem OF the hopes,
prayers and devotion Of those at homs.-
Do not soil such memories, do moi betray
such'a trust. Let no mean, dastardly act
disgrace the fervor which it represents, the
high faith which in the donation Of this
banner follows you to battle. You may
think it is only required Of you to fight;
that some bright morning with this gallant
flag flung out, bands playing our national
airs, drums beating to the chivalrous onset,
you are to be led to victory. Soldiers,much
more is demanded Of yen. Remember that
your adversaries are your fellow oitisena-
Burn no dwellings, Brighten no women sd
children. Go to battle with noble thoughts,
high motives, and the consciousness that the
eyes Of your General are upon you. Bear
the march steadfastly, obey orders ch~eerfully,
have no small chickering's among yourselves.
Let the holy phrase, comrades in battle,
cause you to live, to respect and to bear
with each other. Within the last twenty
four hours one gallant private has been
promoted for bravery before the enemy
Therefore have faith in yourselves and I
will find you opportunities and see that you
are rewarded. Fellow soldiers Of the Sixty
sixth regiment, l transfer to you, in behalf
fthe donors, their gift-this flag. Never
desert it. Rally around it while you are
alive; it shall wave over you when dead /;
and if each one of you were to- live . thous-
and years, believe that you can find no
noblsr opportunity to die than beneath it.
