oalcsrs and Soldiers Of the Twentieth Army Corps:
An order will soon reach you consolidate NJ
your gallant regiments, bfIgades and divisions
with the Twenty fret corps. With that order
am relieved from command 10 this army, and
directed to report at indianapolis, Indiana, there
to appear before Coart of Inquiry. After be-
Ing relieved from command, could ask no
greater favor of the War Department than
thorough investigation Of my conduct during
the two memorable days Of Ohickamsuga, for /
dono; fear the issue. My great regret will be
the breaking up Of the glorious assooistions
formed after 80 long service in the Army of
the Cumberland, and the bidding farewell to the
gallant officers and soldiers Of this corps. You
will have new corps and division commanders;
to them, as you have at all times to me, yield
obedience. Give them additional evidence Of
your discipline, zeal and patriotism In our
cause; and never lay y,down your arms until this
unhoIy rebellion ID crushed, the Union perma-
nentiy restored, aud peace secured that will
allow you to return to your homes and fresides,
You have been slandered hud iusigned by news

you justice efofe the world. l return my
shanks to every officer and aotdier of the corps
for his gsllAntry in action and his hearty co.

leave you, and my earnest prayer ever shall be,
that God msy prosper you as a corps, and as In.

The Speakership of the Next House o

make an accomplished and popular presiding
officer. Elected TO Congress in 1856, after q
bitter contest, over leading Republican,
aud three times re-elected by an in
creased vote, his career has been one
of unusual brillisncy. Immediately upon his
entree In Congress, he was advanced TO q lead.
ing position, and has served upon the most i'm.

batter, his eloqueace and sarcaam and transcend
ent abilities as etump speaker, have given
him 6 national reputation. Mr.. Cox 10 ter
