CAPT. CoGswEfI. AT HOVE We had the
pleasure few DAYS ago, OF greeting II
Ottawa. our old friend and fellow citizen,
Capt VIM. CoGswEII. OF Cogswells Battery.
The CAPTAIN is absent from his post on
government business, and viii remain hut
!, few DAYS. lie looks hale and hearty,
and every inch soldier. II il his first
absence from. his post since he entered the
service, and Capt. c is able to say what we
doubt whether any officer in the service
can say. that since the day he enlisted,
a year and half ago, he hss not been
day off duty He is now, and has been
for some time, performing the duty OF
Il Colonel as chief of artillery OF Gen.
Smiths Division OF 18th army corps, hav
ing Charge of six b&tteries-h quarters
at Memphis. lfany officer has earned
his promotion to the position he fills, we
shoui,. say he is Capt c.
On Thursday evening. at the urgent re-
quest of many citizens, Capt C. ad dressed
the people on his experience IN the army,
at the Court House The room vas so
densely crowded at an early hour, that we
were unable to get beyond the threshold,
and heard but imperfectly what he said
That his remarks were soldier like and
patriotic, however, was evidenced by the
frequent hearty cheers and applause
We understood him to decline to discuss
politics. With the 9th article of war be-
IL LIT,
he was not allowed to criticise or find
fault with the acts, policy, or measures of
those above him; this was the business Of
civil llans-and if he could not talk as he
pleased, he preferred not to talk at all
We thought the remark appropriate, and
commend it to the many shoulder strap
gentlemen in the army VINO manifest such
ea.erness to obtrude their political opin
ions on the public. D.. '-t

Gen.

The Ravcuna Democrat states that Gen.
Garfield will take his seat in Congress-
We bad known this to be his decision.
and are gratifod to see it thus authorita.
lively announced. None who know Gen.
Garfield need be assured that it REQ uired a
great sacrifice of personal feeling on his
part, to make such a decision and We vic.
late no confidence in saying that, lad he
ioroscen,a at the timo he received the no,nina-
ton of Representative, that tho war would
continue until now, he would not havo 40.
copted it. HIS heart is with tho defenders
Of the Union ia the field, aud, wero he to
follow his own inclinn ton, he would soon
be with them also. But, as no entered the
military service from patriotic motives. so
ho is willing TO loa so il for any other to
which the country may call him. In taking
his seat in Congress, he will consult, the
wishes, not only OF his constituents. but also
of the President, who we'll knows the need
OF such men in that body. We doubt not
that the same sterling qualities of mind and
heart that have distinguished him as a
soldier, will equally distinguish him as a
Representative; and, if so. he can never
regret bis decision, or tho people of the 10Th
Congressional District their choice. The
Democrat says;
In answer to many inquiries addressed
to US, concerning Gen. Garfield, We are vt
liberty TO say, that he will take his seat 10
Congress, as the representative of this,
tbe 10Th district.
When we say that we are gratifed at this
decision, we but give public expression TO
our opinion, long entertained in private,
that he can there and now better serve
the country than in the field. That he
has the confidence Of the President and
Secretary oil War, is amply attested by the
commission Of Major General, rendered
him. Ihat he is choice of the loyal men
oil this district is also amply atiested by
the majority Of G,525, which gives him a
seat in the House of Representatives.
In taking this sep, General Garfield.
with devoted patriotism, has left himself
out OF .he account, and chooses to occupy
the seas prominent, brilliant aud remuner-
awe post, but as we estimate it the most
valuable one to his country. In doing
this we know how painful has been the
task to sever the relations he has held to
the noble heroes in the field and we
know full well, that many a soldiers
heart will beat with disappointment at
this announcement, but we fully believe
that the hes. has been chosen.
Gen. Garfield will carry to his new po.
sition a military experience hat will be
most valuable, and no man will exceed
him in faithiulness, earnestness and intel
llgent devotion TO his country. As he has
been an interchangeable. fearless soldier, brav.
ing every danger, ever in the %tront,so will
he continue 10 do battle for the great
cause, shrinking from no duty and dodg.
no responsibility. and do this too. in a po.
sition where his word and action will tell
upon the destinioo OF the country, in the
field and in the courts Of Legislation.

great task remaining before US for us to
renew our devotion 10 that cause for which
they gave the full measure Of their devotion.
Hare let US resolve that what they have
done shall not have been done in vain. That
the nation shall, under God. have a new

The conclusion of the Presidents remarks
was followed by immense applause, and
three cheers given for him, as also tbres
cheers for the Governors Of the States.
The number assembled was between GO,

announced a vigorous prosecution of the

The number of bodies exhumed aud re-

ing whore they were at first buried. is esti.
mated at some two thousand. This would
show a greater number of killed than is set
down in General Meade's report of the bat
tie. The discrepancy is explained by the
fact that some twelve hundred of our mon
died in the hospitals here, who are re.
turned as wounded.
Some four hundred of the rebel wounded
also died in the hospitals. These were bu
ried with as much care and attention as onr
own mon. Probably as many as a thousand
of our dead were removed by their friends
The unrocognizod bodies will probably mum.
Der l 600. This is accounted for BY the
fact that many of our men who were killed
in the first days fight were buried in the
tronchos by the rebels. and the work was
finished on the following Sunday by our
own troops. Nevertheless. many names
and initials and souvenirs that NAV be ideni
fed by friends. have been obtained by MIR

Iy no is capable of. Tho vast assembly stood
uncovered in breathless attention during

hearts however obdurate, that did not unite
with him in this prayer for the great Ameri
